Somebody asked me how to turn off the Samsung Eternity’s 3G, so they will benefit to save battery life from that. Samsung Eternity

I found the service menu to turn off Samsung Eternity’s 3g. This is a potentially dangerous operation so do it at your own risk. Samsung Cell Phone tips & tricks
From the main screen select Dial then enter:
*2767*2878#
From the first screen press the back button (middle button on phone). Press back button 2 more times or until it show debug as item no 1. Now select option 8 and then option 4 (change state). Now you can select option 2 (WCDMA) or option 3 (GSM). I’m not sure if this really works yet because I don’t always get 3g at my house.

This is the admin menu. It makes it much easier to turn off 3g. Use the code *#6984125*# from the dial pad and choose option 3 (network & call settings) then 2 (network mode).
