Does anyone know of an android app to manually select the mobile network?
Automatic switching isn't working when I have a weak/unusable Fizz signal and it doesn't switch back to Fizz if I'm on Fizz-Ext.

    There is no Android app that directly allows you to force the manual selection of a mobile network like Fizz or Fizz-Ext — because this function is managed by the Android system itself for security and compatibility reasons.

    Is there a way to turn off any 3G connections?

    I don't think so.

    You can configure Android phone to use only LTE. There is a hidden "Phone info" menu that will allow access to this option. On some phones, you can access this menu by dialling *#*#4636#*#*. On other phones, you will need an app to access the menu. The "Advance Network Settings" option in MyTechSuite app is one example that has no ads, but there are other apps as well. Set Preferred Network Type is the option you want. You can set it to LTE only or NR/LTE. NR stands for New Radio and is a synonym for 5G.

    Hello @bjlockie ,

    If you want to disable the 3G network on your phone you can do that from your phone's network settings.
    On Android, for example you have to access :Network & Internet → Mobile Network →Preferred network type →4G/LTE .
    On Apple: Settings → Cellular → Cellular Data Options → Voice & Data. Select LTE.

    Thank you for your kind understanding.
    Have a nice day!
