Force 3G/4G only option for network selection [duplicate]
asked 2015-02-23 17:14:18 +0300
Bring 3G only and 4G only option for the network selection, like 2G only option.
I think by using common sense people would know that when they select 3G or 4G only option, they'll lose Connectivity when they go out of that network range. The reason i asked for this feature is cuz for me, when i choose Prefer 3G, it changes back to 2G more often, even though there is full range 3G coverage! BlackBerry 10 has this feature, i think android has it too, so why not Jolla?

There's been some connection issues and I believe this is not the only version with some issues with the mobile networks, so...it's a work in progress. Just guessing, but I think Jolla needs stronger signal than average, that's why it drops connection.

why? is it better to be without any signal or for testing purpose?
pan tau ( 2015-02-23 17:19:05 +0300 )editI guess that the reason is security: by forcing 3G/4G you make it mandatory for phone to authenticate the network (base station) and use different more advanced ciphering. Encryption used in GSM network also depends on network (country).. This option would give some more resistance against fake base stations (google e.g. "IMSI catcher").
