Q: iPhone 4S unable to turn off 3G?!

One question. Are the APIs used to toggle 3G/2G with the Infineon GSM radio chipset the same as the required APIs needed to toggle GSM 3G/2G on the Qualcomm hybrid radio chipset used by the iPhone 4S?

Wow, this is insulting. When i have cellular data ON (3g ON) - my iphone 4s loses the whole network every 5 min. When i switch cellular data OFF i disable my edge connection, as our carrier doesn't have an 3g. So i have only two options - NO internet or NO network at all. This is wrong. Apple, you need to fix it.

Have no clue... but rest assured, if it is possible to turn off 3G on the 4S a jailbreak will reveal it. So we'll know once and for all whether the lack of it is hardcoded in the chip or whether the toggle was simply removed for other reasons.

Now we just have to be patient and wait for the jailbreak to find out... or the iOS 5.1 update, whichever comes first.

I say the 5.1 update too because, at this point, I find it hard to believe that if turning off 3G is possible on the 4S that Apple will still leave the toggle out. I think they've probably received enough complaints to put it back if the 4S is capable of doing it.

So we'll have to wait and see.

Huh? Your post isn't logical. The toggle was never there. How can Appple put back something. That was never there?

Lol, no need to pick on my words. My point was clear, but by "back" I mean like with their previous phones.

Yeah, not to nit pick, but didn't previous iPhones use radios of a completely different design and manufacturer than the iPhone 4S?

Yes. What's your point?

I didn't say there is certainly a way to turn off 3G. I said IF it's possible, we'll find out with the jailbreak or with the next OS update.

@enx23

Seems your post got deleted and rightfully so. That link you posted is a scam site, because there is no JB for 4S yet. I hope you didn't waste your money on those crooks.

Maybe, we will find out. There is no guarantee of that. I guess you are far more optimistic than I. Doesn't the iPhone 4S even have an entirely different baseband than previous GSM iPhones? Just askin'!

Dude, I'm just as clueless as you. I'm just saying that if it's possible, it'll happen. But I'm just as much in the dark as you are!

So let's just wait and find out.

Overstating the obvious, while calling others clueless. Nice. I am just asking relevant real questions. Are you afraid of questions?

Are you kidding me? It's just a manner of speech. Don't be so sensitive.

I'm just saying I don't know anything.

That's fine to speak for yourself. I have no problem with that.

Lol whatever. If you know more than anyone else, please share such insight instead of asking rhetorical questions.

And hijacking this thread diverting it from the real issue here doesn't serve any useful purpose either. Let's end it.
