              but it drains in 3g internet.
              in 2g internet it drains normally

              bit if u r a 24*7 3g internet user
              better carry a power bank

                AnonD-287331, 27 Jul 2014Can u plz tell me.. how to set internet settings for 2g/3g in this mobile..that is exactly what it is :

                for 2g ,go to
                settings> more > mobile network > network mode

                in network mode if u select use only 2g network , the phone will use 2g network and data usage will be via edge so u will see E on the top beside battery meter.
                enable data to switch on internet in 2g


                whereas if u go

                settings> more > mobile network > and don't select 2g network

                then ur phone will be set on wcdma/gsm mode, where it will use 3g data and network wherever 3g network strength is good hence u would see H or H+ or 3g while using data.
                however if the 3g network is poor it will automatically shift to 2g network and u will see E instead of H+.
                enable data to switch on 3g internet
