I just got a new LG CU500v mobile (on the Cingular network) and it's 3G UMTS coverage is very spotty at my home in the Seattle area. I am wondering does anyone out there know how to force the mobile to select the GSM network instead of UMTS???
there's an engineering mode that will allow you to set it to "2G only". It is under "modem settings", go figure. It works tho!! I had exactly the same problem at my house.
Now that we've thrown 'em off the trail, use the form below to get in touch with the people at Engadget. Please fill in all of the required fields because they're required.
