Changing the network your phone connects to

If you're using a dual-mode card, you can set HTC J to connect to just one type of
network. This prevents HTC J from constantly searching for other networks to
connect to, and saves battery power.
1. Slide the Notifications panel open, and then tap
2. Tap Mobile data > Preferred Network, and then select CDMA Mode or GSM /
UMTS Mode.
3. If you selected GSM / UMTS Mode, you can choose to connect to:
GSM / UMTS
Dual
GSM only
UMTS only
HTC J searches for both 2G and 3G networks, and connects to
the one that's available.
HTC J connects only to a 2G (GPRS or EDGE) network. Using a
slower data connection helps to save battery power, but it may
incur extra data fees.
HTC J connects only to a 3G network.
