Slight problem: This doesn't work. That very same thread reveals that the phone will just override whatever you choose.
even though your not in a lte area, it isnt searching for the signal. Proven from other members already. So dont worry about it. If your not using data, just turn off mobile data for now.
I even tried to make the APN that a lot of people are having luck with, but where I live there is constantly an LTE signal so it got it anyways even with the HSPA+ APN I made for some reason. My battery life is bad with LTE but the speed is amazing.

I'm trying to set the HSPA-only APN on my phone, since my phone keeps trying extra hard to get on the little LTE it can find here, and it's MURDERING my battery.
Seems AT&T locked the APN's, too. I can't select anything other than the default AT&T profile.
I think you guys could try the patch to convert to Rogers Version in dev section... (root required)
not sure if you guys could flash a Rogers RUU or not (s-off required)
at least ATT stock rom, its hard to disable LTE...
Made a new APN with the exact same settings as the default but with APN Type set to *. Speeds are about the same as my gsii.
Nvm, that didn't work. Ill have to go back to the wap.cingular settings.
Try editing the build.prop and changing the ro.telephony.default_network setting to 0. The default value set by AT&T should've been 9, indicating that the device should connect to LTE > WCDMA > GSM networks in that order. Setting it to 0 reconfigures the device to prefer WCDMA networks over GSM and LTE networks.
The changed setting should read: ro.telephony.default_network=0

If you do not live in an LTE area then there is no reason to disable LTE on the phone. AT&T uses an integrated "circuit switched fallback" on the radio which defaults to UMTS/HSPA(+) when not in an LTE area.
The only people who would benefit from an LTE "on/off" switch would be people who do live in an LTE area so that they can disable it when not using the phone for simple sync procedures.

I live in a really annoying place in NJ where it is constantly switching between LTE (1 bar) and HSPA+ (4 bars). I can literally watch my battery drain. And I can barely use data since its constantly switching back and forth.
After some searching, I found that you can go to the APN settings, create a new profile, change the "Name" to whatever (I chose AT&T HSPA+) and change the "APN" field to "phone" without quotation marks.
Leave everything else defaulted to the normal values.
Then save the APN and go back to the APN screen and click on the little white radio button on the right of the APN you created (be sure to click on the radio button, not the whole bar).
Reboot. I just did this today so I will see how it affects my battery life.
Build.prop is the Only Correct Method

^This.
Changing the apn will make your data slower, but not alter your radio's behavior. Changing the build.prop will keep your radio from looking for anything else once it finds a WCDMA (UMTS, 3G) connection.
Note that you need to find and change all occurrences of ro.telephony.default_network to 0. The build.prop on AT&T RUUs includes it multiple times with different values.

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.

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.
my phone will drop connection and then not reconnect. no voice, no data. (wifi still works)
what I've tried:
1. Different radios/firmware
2. different roms
3. different preferred network types
4. switching airplane mode on and off
what I haven't tried:
1. different sim
2. calling tmobile for suggestions
What else could cause this problem?
it could be a hardware issue
Hello,
I have the same issue than you !
I am facing issues such as call drop and no 3G data connection in some area in my region since I have 5 signal bar and H letter displayed (HSDPA connection)...
I have found a workaround consisting in:
1 - Switching to GSM Only mode (2G Only)
2 - Desabling Mobile Data Connection
Then it works, I can pass and receive voice call ...

I'm new to the Sensation and having the exact same issue.
Followed the stickies in the Dev section to S-OFF, root and bypass SIM lock and then once the SIM card is inserted I get only GSM and no data.
If you use *#*#4636#*#* in the Dialer and go to Phone Information do you notice that it always switches to WCDMA preferred? I change to GSM/CDMA auto PRL like all my other Android devices (on Rogers Wireless) and it disconnects, reconnects but only for GSM and no data. It sometimes says it's connected to EDGE or HSPA but no icon at the top right and then it reverts back to GSM.
I have also tried flashing virtually every firmware, ensuring that the radio and RILs match (I had an HTC Desire Z so the HTC phones are not new to me entirely). I don't know what else to do. I tried a Bell SIM card and tried all of the same options to no avail.
I really hope someone can figure this out. I don't want to have destroyed a phone that I just bought for my wife. Her Atrix broke and I purchased that outright as well, so this is really killing my wallet. I've been through about 10 Android devices and I wouldn't say I'm a newb, but I really do feel like one right now. This sucks!

I did try every setting in there. The new sim card fixed it! So I guess our problems are different.
I have ALWAYS had very poor AT&T service in my house, from my iphone 3g, iphone 4, iphone 4s....as soon as you pull in my neighborhood AT&T service just goes to ***
I got the One X however and realized I can pick up LTE here when the radio first turns on! I can put it on airplane mode, take it off...and I'll get LTE for about a minute. I get 10mbps down instead of the 1mbps when it's just on "4G"
However..this can barely make it through a SpeedTest as it's 1 or 2 bars of service...then it switches from 2 bar 4G LTE to the 3 or 4 bar "4G"
The phone is thinking I get better service with just the plain 4G so it forces me to connect to that....in reality it's a tonnnn slower and much worse.
Is there any APN setting or any root hacks to force the LTE connection? I get LTE pretty much everywhere in town (las vegas) but like I said my neighborhood doesn't seem to be on AT&T's maps!
If you go to your dialer and type in *#*#4636#*#* it will take to a screen where down a bit from the middle is the option "select network type" tap that and there is and "lte only" option. I have read that this works to force only hspa+ but can't confirm it for forcing lte. Give it a shot though.

This does NOT work for forcing either HSPA or LTE. It always reverts back to auto. AT&T does not let you choose your network, period. We will not be able to choose the network unless and until we get the Rogers ROM working on the AT&T units (or until someone builds a custom ROM giving us the functionality of Rogers).

Entering a new APN should do the trick. Not sure what you should use on Rogers or Virgin. But for AT&T, they have different APNs for LTE versus non-LTE phones. So entering the APN info for non-LTE seems to disable LTE.
That dialer trick doesn't work, all of the options not containing LTE revert back to the original right after you select them.

This may disable it but it doesn't turn off the LTE radio in your phone. It still searches for an LTE signal and still yields the same battery life.

Depends on your goal. If you are in a fringe LTE coverage area, this will solve connection problems, and thereby improve battery drain to some degree.
But I see what you are saying. It prevents connection to a certain LTE network, but doesn't turn off the LTE radio.

I did unlock the phone using the Motorola site and rooted it. Could this interfere with LTE operation somehow ?

Which APN are you using. You should be on fast.tmobile.com
I have the similar setup (xt1045,unlocked bootloader, rooter, stock 4.4.3 and stock kernel) and don't have any issues. It did take a few hours after first boot. I am in a refarmed area however. Mine defaulted to the lte/fast apn.
a few things:
- tmobo indoors isn't great in all places, so try outside
- if you're on wifi, they downgrade to hspa/3g to save battery, you may not see lte until you get off wifi
- you may be over your monthly 4g cap
to be honest, their hspa+ speeds are same as lte out here anyways

Even if you are over your monthly cap, you still connect to LTE. It just lowers your speeds.
Thanks all for the info. I'm using the T-Mobile APN that came with the phone (fast.t-mobile.com), wifi off, have tried indoors/outdoors.
I'm pretty sure I'm not over my data cap -- my previous phone was a Nexus S and my data usage habits haven't really changed yet
It is a much snappier phone and the HSPA+ and wifi and GPS really are much nicer. I like having the microSD slot too. So I can't really complain too much.

Never saw 'Phone information' come up. I'm assuming this would be the same as changing 'bearer' in the APN setting to 'LTE' instead of unspecified (tried that already, it just seems to get no data at all then) ?

It's not the same, cos if you set it there, it allows of 3G connections if no LTE available (dunno if you force it from Settings -> More.. -> Mobile Networks -> Network Mode -> LTE ).
The Airoplane mode is just to "relog" to the carrier network , you just cycle through it On->Off

The last four characters were #*#* in your first reply, and that didn't seem to have any effect at all. When I tried the sequence above and pressed dial, it first said 'USSD code running' and then 'Connection problem or invalid MMI code'.

The correct combination is *#*#4636#*#* and you dont have to press dial after that, the menu should pop-up right after you press the last character.This is not model specific either, it works on all android versions/roms.

Apparently doesn't work on this phone. It's ok, google led me to a couple of apps which appear to do something similar. Thanks for the insight !
Finally got the "LTE" indicator while outside eating lunch near work today. I was amazed that the speedtest.net app reported ~30Mbps down / 20 up. Didn't have to mess with the default T-mobile LTE APN. I guess T-mobile's coverage is just kind of spotty, but maybe the nearby tower was just upgraded or something like that
