Xperia S not connecting to 2G network

Hi,
I have Xperia updated with version 4.1.2
My device is not able to connect to 2G network at all.
Whenever I m in 3G network then only it connects to network but I migrate to 2G network, it is not able to register itself on 2G. I tried inserting other network SIM in it, even that is not working. I went to Sony Center, even they could not resolve the issue. Xperia support center is saying there is an issue going on & they will be releasing new update soon.

Its not working in that way because, there is no option to select the downgragded networ (2G). There's an option to select only 3G. Another thing, I ca select 2G network forcefully by selecting Mobile network, but it automatically goess to 3G which I dont want. Please anyone give me a solution that how I can go and fix my network into 2G.

I also have the same problem. Earlier, I thought Idea has this issue. Now, am using Vodafne and facing the same issue. Really having a tough time with this phone. Probably, will have to switch over to other phoe, if the problem exists longer.

Dear Sony,

Does this problem have a solution or do I have to brick the phone

You are using a new Xperia, right? Sony may have stopped support for 2G on their phones, so try to use a phobe wich works with 2G (this may be a trip to your parents home!) Also, not ALL SIMS still do 2G, since 4G seems to be trend now
