Has anybody figured out a way to turn of the LTE antenna. I'm curious if there's an app to disable the antenna, LTE is great but i need ways to conserve battery.
Yes go to wireless networks and the mobile networks and select the ones you would like

How to turn off LTE (sgh-i727r tested)
Home screen -> menu button -> settings -> wireless and network -> mobile networks -> network mode
that option is only available on custom roms

Sorry, Didn't realize how locked down ATT devices are.
I'm using a stock rogers i727r.
I cant even switch to 2g network like previous versions of android. I am looking for something similar to the HTC evo's ability to turn of the wimax antenna. I tried an app designed to turn it of for the htc thunderbolt but obviously it didn't work. looks like LTE is locked on by the firmware, and there is no way to turn it off. I know that i can force the phone to disconect from lte my fooling around with the apn settings but the antenna will still be on even though its not connected.
if you're rooted you can pull the settings.apk and settingsprovider.apk from the BoneSTOCKeteer (in System/App) ROM and push it to your ROM to System/App using Root Explorer, if you know how. (the Roger's ROMS allow you to change network mode)
Thanks for the advise. I ended up runing the rogers rom it has much better network control. Sadly the keyboards included in that rom are junk. I prefer the stock keyboard.

I turned off LTE/DATA.. by turning off "data packet"... use wifi and still get calls and texts and even better battery life.
Stock rom and rooted
Easier way if non-rooted:
Use the media Net apn, instead of att pta.
the media net apn only runs on 2g/3g.

No dice, still had the same settings.
*** EDIT ***
Wiped and flashed BoneSTOCKeteer and now the settings are there. However only GSM/HSPA/LTE AUTO and GSM/HSPA AUTO work, GSM ONLY and HSPA ONLY do not work for AT&T apparently.

So you can't turn off data.... if you just want to use wifi at home for example?

You can turn data on and off. There is actually an HTC widget that toggles data on and off.
Go to the market there is an app that you can use to toggle on stock rom. Just search 3G.

try *#*#4636#*#*
any1 have a shortcut or app for it?
Just uncheck "Mobile Network" under Wireless and Network in Settings.
I'm pretty sure my 3g/4g has yet to be turned on lol

I found a way to turn off 3g/4g and have Edge enabled by going to Settings > Wireless & Networks > Mobile Networks > Network Mode > here you can toggle from WCDMA Only; GSM Only; GSM/WCDMA Auto (default). Selecting GSM Only switching my connection to Edge. How can we create a shortcut/toggle for this option?

There is no such option on the Inspire 4g.
*#*#4636#*#* is the option. Dial it. Go to phone. Scroll down. Select gsm only.

Does it really work ?
Yes. I use it to keep mine on gsm. I also used the stock widget to keep data turned off
Turning off 4G speed is easy. Turn on the phone, it doesn't exist
Sorry, couldn't resist.

good one
in cm7 theres a widget where you can turn off 3g and switch to 2g, is included in the power settings widget, any chance on getting it while using sense?

Using: *#*#4636#*#*
Then selecting GSM does not work for me..still reverts back to 3G "H+)
Any other suggestions? Do I have to root to get access to all the grayed out network options?
Thanks
so ive had my phone since december when it came out and just recently i factory reset my device and it will not connect to 3g or 2g at all. I havent had any problems with my phone until now and i was wondering if anyone knows if there are any solutions. Im running 2.3.4 and im on t-mobile and i have always had great 3g coverage wherever i go so i know that that isnt the issue so if anyone has any ideas i would greatly appreciate it.
(edit) I just tried other sim cards and they wont pick up on 3g or 2g networks either. im at a loss on what to do.
You could flash a stock rom a 2.3.3 from tomorrow manager.

Input apn settings manually?
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
I had the same problem with my dutch provider free nexus s. You have to set the APN manually. On the T-Mobile website they should have the settings. I had a problem though cause in Holland the nexus s settings were not on t-mobiles website so I had to use the galaxy s settings but the apn type I had to set it to default instead of internet..bang!! May there be 3g

If you used widgetsoid or any other widget or program to toggle 2G/3G or Mobile Data on and off that could be the culprit as it some have the ability to rename the apn. I had this happen about a week after updating a phone to cm7 from 2.3.2. I had to reinstall widgetsoid and change the mobile data toggle to the root option. Then I made a widget to toggle data on and off and did that from the widget to fix the issue. It can uninstalled with no issues once done if this is your problem.
Hey There,
Have a Rogers (canada) version of the I727R, I followed all the instructions to root and get SkyIceCream v7.2 up and running. Looks great but the data connection did not work after I made the updates. Wouldn't connect through the browser or market.
Any ideas?
Thanks.
APN?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium
Check under your mobile network settings, if you have an lte plan set your apn name to ltemobile.apn
sky cream sandwich sets your apn to the non lte apn name... And if you have an lte plan that won't work.

After you set it uo run the apn backup app for the next time you flash

I went into Network Settings and made sure the LTE option was set. But that didn't solve it. Is that what you mean by APN?
Sorry n00bish question.
Thanks

Go to Settings -> Wireless and network -> Mobile networks -> Access Point Names
Do you see it set to ltemobile.apn or another server? If it's not ltemobile.apn, you'll need to add it so click the Menu button and choose new APN to add it.
I will give this a shot tonight.. Thanks!

What he said ;-) , sorry I assumed you knew how to change or add a new apn. Hopefully this works for you!

Network Icons?
Guys, not the same issue here as my network seems to be working and connecting properly. For some reason though all network icons at the top are gone. The only think I have is the battery icon. No wifi, 4g, network, nothing.
Any thoughts?
Is there some easy trick to getting the 3G mobile data to work? It is greyed out in the top RH icon. Only wi-fi works for internet connection. What am I missing!? I have "set mobile limit" checked off no diff. I have a good signal just stays greyed out.
Have you tried switching modems?
Have you went to apn and made sure it's on your network. You have to go to system settings, data, more, mobile networks then access point names.

I flipped back to gingerbread but I have the CWM so I can easily flipp back to ICS. How do I change modems in ICS?? I am in Ontario with Rogers but when the phone boots it flashes AT&T and there are some AT&T apps.
Also found ICS wouldn't play several video formats and made the external SD hard to find. It would be woth a try if I could get it on the mobile data network I am paying for.
shaker2K: does that menu allow me to select from multiple access point names? on the other OS's it usually is only a status of the only network activated?
Thanks for any help though I am new to all this!
i could have sworn that the factory images and some older ICS ROMs allowed my Stingray Xoom with 4G to go into 3G mode (automatically or manually)... but with CM11 and OmniROM that doesn't appear to work anymore? i either have LTE or no data at all depending on where i am in town now. also, turning off LTE using the quicktile seems to turn data completely off, not take it into 3G mode...
- can anyone confirm that their 4G Xoom does in fact go to 3G when 4G isn't available (and on what ROM & baseband)?
- is anyone else having this issue with the newer roms?
thanks
ok, after reading around i'm sure i'm not crazy and that i should have 3G and 4G.
i rebooted with access to the hidden motorola field utils app to make sure my 3G radio was enabled... the app launches, but the programming menu item and field test menu items both just crash the app when chosen.
anyone have any other ideas? i don't want to have to undo bigpart to re-flash the radio with rogue recovery but that's the only answer i'm seeing...

I'm currently flashing my xoom now so i cant verify if this is possible on a tablet
but on the phone i know if you open the dialer you can dial *#*#4636#*#* >> phone information and see what preferred network type is selected
much like the settings >> more >> mobile networks selection but with more options
if you dont have the dialer i think you can create a custom shortcut to open the activity on some 3rd party homescreen / launcher apps.
If you do get it to pull up see if its set to LTE only, irc you'll want GSM/CDMA
I have the same issues. 4g or nothing.
