[Request] Ability to disable 2G [duplicate]
asked 2015-02-28 15:30:59 +0300
From a privacy point of view, 2G is horribly insecure and outdated. This usually isn't a problem, because most of the networks I frequent are 3G/4G. Forcing a phone on to 2G makes it a lot easier for Bad Guys[tm] to break encryption and snoop on the connection.
There's an option in the Settings > Mobile Network menu: "Prefer 4G", "Prefer 3G" or "2G only". It would be great if this we could add a "3G/4G only" option to this list.
2G mode saves battery though.
