I find this below to work better than the *#*#4636#*#*. Seems like 3G is stable now. I have yet to see the 1x since I did this. It does turn 4G completely off though. From what HTC support says they are working on a fix for the radio, camcorder, txt, and battery issues. I was told an update when it comes should set it back to LTE. We don't have 4G yet so a good 3G signal that sticks instead of dropping out to 1x is fine by me til they get it fixed.

Are you on WiFi, because ehrp whatever is what allows you to talk and surf, putting it on rev a is just putting the phone on the old non talk and diem network.
Wifi off and it still works. Must be that it just turns the 4G off. I get email, txt, can put the wife on speaker and look at forums on the web and browse sites no problem.

I thought it was known that you can use 3G and talk on this phone at the same time. You don't need 4G. I used it once just to see that I could. I'll probably never use it again.
ehrpd is not the talk and surf thing. It makes the handoff between 3g and LTE work properly. Without ehrpd all your data connections will reset when you go between evdo and lte
All this like does is show you how to set your tb so it will stay on 3G and not 1x, which it kills the 4G. I see no point in having 4G search if I'm not in a 4G area. Plus it helps that battery issue a bit too.

Is it possible to force 4g?
I can get 2 bars at my work, but it keeps switching to edge.
The way to fix this on my nexus one was to use the *#*# code.
What is the *#*# code for this phone?
Sent from my LG-P999
Do you mean the *#*#4636#*#*
That will take you to a menu and you can choose phone info with a selection for like gsm wcdma and what not. Is that what you want?
Perfect!
I couldn't remember that code for the life of me!

Can't you just go to Settings -> Wireless -> Mobile Networks -> Network mode -> WCDMA only?
I've done that and it's always on 4G or nothing.
Seems like you can't do it on stock android phones but only phones with sense....*#*#4636#*#* works for this phone

If you have wcdma only selected and the area that you are in is not 4g you will not have service.

It would be nice to be able to set the 4g to 2g threshold settings. At my work if I forget to manually switch to 2g, my phone stays on 4g (it still finds a weak signal so it doesn't switch to 2g) and I miss all calls, emails, sms....
Just to confirm, there is no way to tell the g2x when it should switch from 4g to 2g right?

There are apps like Tasker that allow you to set things depending on your GPS location or times of the day. I don't know if it specifically lets you set when your phone goes from 2G/4G but I think it does.

Right I was thinking about that. What I ment was switch from 4g to 2g based on signal strength. I'm sure there is some kind of a limit in place to know when to make the switch. It would be nice to be able to modify this.

Not sure about a way to manually set the thresholds but there is one setting you can change that's supposed to require a stronger WCDMA signal before it switches from 2G. On your dialer, dial *#*#4636#*#* and go to Phone Information. Scroll down to "Set preferred network type" and select "WCDMA and GSM Auto" with the stock rom. I think with CM its called something like GSM Auto PRL.
The difference from WCDMA is that Auto requires a higher signal strength threshold to use switch to 4G. Not sure what those thresholds are and I haven't noticed much difference but I have pretty good signal everywhere I go.
It.wouldn't hurt to try it though.

How do you actually save that setting?
Oh and a better shortcut to that menu is download anycut from the market, add shortcut to desktop using that program and tap activity then look for testing.
G2x with CM7 and faux kernel. NONSENSE!!!!

The setting should stick until you change it again. Is it changing automatically on yours?
I changed the settings a few times when I close the setting it always saves the setting I picked.
Is it supposed to save these setting after a reboot or when turn the phone off.
I noticed while on WI-FI it's always on GSM

4G LTE Toggle for Charge. Cost 99 cents, but it works. It's installed on my phone because I don't get 4G at home.
Or you can save the 99 cents and go throuhg the following steps:
Settings/Wireless & Network/Mobile networks/System selection/CDMA mode
But me, I'm lazy and paid the 99 cents ;-)
LTE Switch in the market
I can't post URLs yet but just search for LTE Switch.
All it seems to do is bring up the appropriate page in Settings.
3g/4g toggle
here, try this link!

Power Control widget.
Did you try the Power Control widget?
That's what I use, you can activate the 2G/3G switch and it let's you choose the available options. For instance, you can set it up to 2G or 3G and that will allow you to enable/disable the 4G... Or you can switch between 2G, 2G/3G and 3G. It's all configurable.
Whenever it says 3G on this widget, just read 4G...
Works like a charm for me. I'm using the EaglesBlood ROM (CM7 based).
4g is the same radio as 3g on T-Mobile, so if you're looking for a way to turn off 4g and leave 3g on it can't be done. 4g uses no more battery than 3g.
You can set it to 2g only though. Either on cm7 with the tips the others suggested or with Toggle2g which I've included in Tsugi.
