When my Captivate shows the 3G symbol my bars drop from none to maybe 1 bar and signal strength will drop down to -117 to 0 dBm. When the 3G symbol disappears my signal strength bars go up to 4. This is in my home.
WHY does this happen and how can I disable 3G so I can use my phone as a phone and get somewhat decent call quality?
Update
I found this:
Dial *#*#197328640#*#*
Select [1] DEBUG SCREEN
Select [8] PHONE CONTROL
Select [4] UE STATE CONTROL
If you want 2G, select:
[3] CHANGE RAT TO GSM
If you want 3G, select:
[2] CHANGE RAT TO WCDMA
It works 'til you reboot.
