QUOTE(InnerMax @ Aug 3 2014, 11:34 PM) Mine full charge from wake up in the morning till sleep time at night.. but if you're heavy user might have shorter battery span than mine. ( with optimized mode on ) Optimized mode = battery saving mode?  Average your battery last how long? 9 hours? |

QUOTE(red streak @ Aug 3 2014, 09:08 PM) How to lock to 3G only if there's no 3G...there's a reason why it drops to 2G. Not really bro. It goes by a certain threshold value. Once the signal is not strong enough, it will be conservative and revert to 2G. Depending how weak is the signal, forcing the phone to use 3G band may work. But it is not recommended because weak signal will cause your phone to consume more battery. |

QUOTE(hyperyouth_firepower @ Aug 4 2014, 12:45 AM) Well it keeps dropping to 2G too often for my liking, when a BlackBerry can lock on to the same 3G signal, full bar. Even cheapo phones can be manually set to "only 3G". I do not have a Zenfone. I'm one of those early Android adopters (think Android 1.5 Unless there is an alternative?  ) and we used to set it via hidden testing menu. I am not sure if this is still valid to Android phones nowadays. But I did test it on a cheap Alcatel running Android 4.0, it still works. Here are the steps:Call *#*#4636*#*# It will bring up the hidden Android Testing menu. Go to Phone information. You will see a drop down list of "set preferred network type". Select WCDMA only. This will force your phone to run on 3G band. However, take note that if you are in a location with strictly 2G coverage only, you will get 0 signal. |

I'm one of those early Android adopters (think Android 1.5 There is a test mode for Asus Zenfone, but it does not have a set to 3G Mode. The code you gave did not work, but there was another way to activate it (via calculator app, to be precise) ) and we used to set it via hidden testing menu.
