N73 network issue - GSM-Forum

junkie · 07-04-2007, 00:12

Does anyone know of a way to "force" my N73 to ONLY use a specific network? I would like it to stay on "3" rather than keep trying to revert back to "3G" as i live in a weak signal area. I have had the same problem with all 3G phones i have had, the constant swopping to the "better" network with terrible signal strength and then having to swop back to "non-3G" whenever i want to make or receive a call to avoid getting cut off mid chat.

go to setting, network, change network mode to gsm.. this will solve ur prob..

That works, but only temporarily. As soon as the phone decides it can recieve "3G" signal, it reconnects to it again
