If your someone whos stuck on 1x this will at least get you back to 3g.
Use the ##778# menu (hit call after ##778#)-->password is 000000-->modem settings-->Rev A-->choose enable-->hit the menu button on the tbolt and commit changes
Update:
So to answer the question of should you change this back?
The default setting is eHPRD which is verizons simultaneous voice and data 3G network. By hitting enable your switching your phone do EVDO or Rev A is pretty much their older 3G netowrk. The info is yours now you make the call of weather you should or shouldnt
To Revert back once everything is fixed:
Use the ##778# menu (hit call after ##778#)-->password is 000000-->modem settings-->Rev A-->choose eHPRD-->hit the menu button on the tbolt and commit changes
So is this a network problem or a phone problem because of flashing radios?

Actually I think it is just 4G. The reason our phones lose 3G as well is explained in this article.

The issue with not getting 3G can be fixed by following the instructions in the OP.

It worked on my phone, although it did take a minute or two once my phone rebooted before the 3G connection started. That was probably because I am in a building that actually gets great 4G coverage, but spotty 3G coverage.

It works but its in and out for me here in tampa. So let me ask this. When lte comes back on do we go back in and change it back to previous setting?

If you want to do voice and data at the same time over 3G yes.
Thanks for this. I was beginning to think it was the rom I was using.
I wish i'd have seen this sooner...I thought it was the ROM as well and unrooted my phone this morning just to find that wasn't it. CS informed me there was a nationwide outage after the fact (I have been stuck on 1X since yesterday)
Quick question - I was so quick to try this that I didn't pay attention to the original settings of the phone does anyone know what they are so I can revert back when the system comes back up?

Hanks for the quick fix! Any negative affects of leaving the settings like this even after big red gets their **** straight? Oh, btw, I am in NC with no 4g coverage at all. This worked like a charm.

so i was playing with my friends s2 which is on sprint and he has a 3g/4g toggle. is it possible to do this on ATT? is it possible to run sprint roms on the att version?
i would love to be able to move data to 3g/edge while i am not really using the phone and this can save me tons of battery.
if someone knows please help.
also, ive tried the manual mode but it doesnt let me select other options in network settings.

Please do not even think about trying.to put a epic 4g touch rom on the skyrocket. Or anyother phones rom. Do not flash anything other then skyrocket. , and tmobile galaxy s2 roms on your phone or you will brick it. And no there is no toggle to turn off lte. You can edit the apn settings so it will not use lte. A quick search will explain how u can do that
Not sure about AT&T but the Rogers ROM has a fairly quick way to switch... In Settings-Wireless and Network-Mobile Networks, there is "Network Mode" which allows you to pick from GSM/HSPA/LTE (Auto mode), GSM/HSPA (Auto mode), GSM only, or HSPA only... I switch it to the GSM/HSPA (Auto mode) when I am not in Ottawa (no LTE in Deep River) and it saves a fair bit of battery.

The Rom I am on, as well as others I am sure allows me to set the following:
GSM/HSPA/LTE (Auto)
GMS/HSPA (Auto)
GSM Only
HSPA Only.
Is this not the same thing?

Could be. I don't recall. I've seen it in others as well. Was surprised as I had already known ATT didn't have it in stock.
It is. Att base roms this is what you get
Type: *#*#4636#*#* in the dialer and hit the first one, there at the bottom u can turn off 4g Lte and 4g HSPA
Which setting do you use though to shut it off to 3G only on AT&T? The options aren't very descriptive. Some are obviously not used but I'm not sure which to try. Here's the options I get by putting in that *#*#4636#*#*:
WCDMA preferred
GSM only
WCDMA only
GSM auto (PRL)
CDMA auto(PRL)
CDMA only
EvDo only
GSM/CDMA auto (PRL)
Unknown
GSM/WCDMA/LTE Auto [This is the one that is selected]
Also, it seems like it doesn't let me change it. I tried setting it to GSM only and when i came back to the screen it was still on the LTE Auto setting.
Yeah I'm confused what to choose to o

None of the settings stick for me.
Ditto. I used the app "phoneinfo" which is just a short cut way of doing the #*#*4636*#*# thing, and when I change it, it always goes back to GSM/WCDMA/LTE.

3g or 4g, with no LTE would be stellar. It would get me more play time on Pandora and Tunein. I use Nav and Tunein, when I am on the road, and use a 1Mah charger, and it's a very slow and steady drain, I suspect when I am in and around home, St. Louis, I am running LTE and eating battery.
I suppose if I have to have LTE constantly, another option would be better pricing structure. Maybe 5gigs for 30 a month, or unlimited again.
The att radios are rat locked.
So no you can not change these settings.
Hi -
The battery on my Skyrocket is draining so fast (and I do not browse internet, do not play games and sometimes do not even make any phone calls!)
So I have been looking for ways to save battery-
I found one idea: LTE & 4G uses more battery than 3G/GSM, and since my phone is usually on LTE or 4G- why not switch it to 3G?
*#*#4636#*#*
Phone Information
Scroll down
uncheck GSM/CDMA/4G/LTE
check WCDMA only
So this should switch the phone to 3G - but for some reason it doesn't (in the phone status it still shows that the phone is using LTE- although LTE doesn't show in top bar)
I wonder, should I also put something in "SMSC" field after I change to "WCDMA only"?
Something else drain your battety. I dont think its problem in network.

If you add the option in Settings.apk, it'll force it to stick onto one network, since it'll turn off the MIMO antenna, which kills LTE.

Can you elaborate? Does this have something to do w/ "mobile networks" in the settings menu?
I'm thinking about buying the s2 skyrocket, and as I already know, LTE drains the battery very fast.
The problem is that I dont have LTE in my country and I was wondering whether or not the LTE will still drain the battery even when there
is no LTE reception, by constantly searching for LTE network?
Thanx in advance!

AT&T LTE phones don't have the option to switch to 3g or turn off LTE, so that simply won't work.

I'm guessing the phone is unlocked... If you can't get it to change manually by going into network selection and searching for networks manually, install a non at&t modem. (Rogers, Bell) than try again. If you are on stock touchwiz than you're SOL.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda app-developers app
It should let you as long as you aren't on touchwiz. Just go to the network selector, choose your network from the list, and then set it to GSM/WCDMA preferred. Or check use 2G networks only if that's what floats your boat. I'm on AT&T using AOKP and it just worked for me.
EDIT: Almost forgot, you have to redo it every time you reboot your phone.

It has nothing to do with TouchWiz. It's the modem. Use a non AT&T modem and you will be able to switch to H+ on a TouchWiz rom.

So many scenarios on battery life.
Signal strength, Apps, Wakelocks, brightness the list goes on.
You will have to play with it and give and take for your liking.
The best I've gotten was 3 days some odd hours.
Its a great phone you will not be disappointed.

So I'll just ask it differently then - Does the battery last a whole day (from morning to night) on non-LTE areas (auto brightness always on)
when only doing light-moderate use (just phone calls, texting, light apps like calculator, camera, playing a little music/videos, no gaming, no wifi, no internet)
Thanks!

LTE radio will not turn on if network apn doesn't provide it ..
So if network doesn't provide LTE , phone will connect to H+ if available ... No extra battery drain (from LTE) in this scenario.. I had a similar situation when I was on Starighttalk , they don't provide LTE , my location is an LTE market if I was using an at&t sim
Although it's a great phone , but it is getting old nowadays .. You might think of the international S3 maybe or an S4 .. Just my 2 cents..
PS :Custom roms aren't magic by selecting network preferred setting , you can do it in touchwiz with *#*#4636#*#* in dialer , but you have to use a RAT unlocked modem like the Roger's ones...
Does anybody get bad call quality, Because I read on some reviews that the call quality on the skyrocket is not the best...

Did sprint install the Carrier Optimization on these Note 5s? Also was carrier aggregation turned ON for these phones. My says not setup or something like that.
I got my MSL and found that MSL is turned on even thought it says CA-Not Config in *#0011#. I dont think these suckers have the sprint connection optimizer.

No. If you go to more then go to wifi optimization.
Looks like there is something called a smart switch. that is about. Connections manager had this whole disclaimer. I dont see that anymore.
wording is a little switched around but does look like connection optimizer.
Smart switch I believe is something used when switching devices

Yes the Not 5 is capable of Sprint Carrier Aggregation. Thanks.
I do not see any option for 'Smart Switch' or anything like that under Wifi settings...I am on the Sprint Note5.. kinda trippy
##data# shows that CA is enabled, so I suppose this phone does support carrier aggregation.
