Possible method of disabling 4G

On my Evo, I have tried a number of different things to conserve battery. One of the issues that someone suggested related to a possible bug in the way that the phone interacted with the Sprint network- it apparently continued to search for CDMA even if connected to Sprint CDMA (please forgive my lack of specificity about this- I have absolutely no understanding of how CDMA networks operate).
Anyway, on the Evo boards, an app was recommended that allowed the user to specify the type of networks that a phone would use- called (appropriately enough) "Network". It's hard to find in the market; I think you have to search by the dev name- which is "mangelow". I used the app to set "CDMA only" instead of "CDMA PRL", which supposedly addressed the problem; by my own rough estimation, battery life improved (although slightly).
The app downloaded to my TB when I first logged into the market, so I thought I'd give it a try. It shows different options since it's on Verizon (which makes sense), the default being "CDMA+LTE/EVDO Auto"; there's also a "CDMA only" mode. I selected "CDMA only" in a known LTE location (my office) about 2 hours ago; yesterday at the office the phone was in LTE mode all day, as it was this morning before I switched modes, but since switching, it's stayed in 3G mode constantly.
I'll leave it to the smarter types to confirm my hypothesis, but I thought I'd toss it out there because it seems to work so far. There's not a widget or anything for this- you have to use the app to make the adjustments each time you want to change, but it's at least more than we have currently.
I suppose a disclaimer is appropriate, since I'm recommending someone else's app- I have nothing to do with the development of the app, and it wasn't my idea. If this works, any credit should go to the developer, not me.

not that we don't appreciate this, but there have already been a few threads about this, and there are actually a few apps that do this, also there is a number you can type in the dialer that allows you to do the same thing.

Apologies- didn't realize that. I had tried to search, but must have missed it. Please disregard.

I know this has been talked about already, but are there any widgets that can do this quick swap for you? My wife's TB arrives today and I want to disable 4G for her (but have it EASY for her to turn it back on if wanted/needed with a simple press of ONE button via a widget). I disable my 3G on my AT&T Captivate, but do it through the settings menu with several different button presses to get it done. This saves a HUGE amount of my battery on my Cappy and I imagine that it will on the TB too.

Is anyone else having trouble getting the phone to switch back to 4G? Sometimes it switches right away for me and others it won't. I make sure the CDMA + LTE option is checked but nothing happens and if I reboot my sometimes it will be back on 4G and others it will have switched back to CDMA auto and then I have to try toggling the switch and rebooting again.

LG G2X and Simple Mobile

Hello,
I'm new to dealing with phones or doing anything advanced with them. My last one was a samsung code that I used at metropcs. I've upgraded to the LG G2X and have an active account with Simple Mobile. I have a problem that I am hoping some one here can help me with.
I cannot use data. No web or mms. Of course according to the instructions on their site for android phones, you have to edit or creat a new APN for use on their network. However, when I try to edit the default T-Mobile US apn it just says, "Default APN cannot be modified." and I can't change any of the settings.
Now what I can do is create ANOTHER APN but after creating on according to the instructions on their site and saving it. I can see the newly created APN but it doesn't look to be active. The T-Mobile US apn has a green dot next to it showing it is active but not the new apn that I created. I thought about a setting to make the new one the default or activating it in addition to the tmobile one but I cannot find a way to do that. HELP. Thanks in advance.

You should just be able to tap your new APN that you've set up and get the green dot to show. I'm not sure how locked down the G2x is, but it sounds strange you can't even edit the APN.

Well the settings from their site were correct. The android configuration is what was needed. It's not obvious how you activate the APN though. The technical support rep helped me figure it out but even he was like, "You have to get the green dot on that new APN. Try to drag it or just touch it.." Well you have to touch the radial button where the green dot should go, however, that is not good enough. You have to hold it down for awhile. Just the button. Then you get the green activation dot. There you have it.
Thanks for the help. You were correct, as was my assumption.
g2x activation at simple mobile.
Simple Mobile website--> Enter in Android config on a new APN--> Save and hold down the radial button long enough for it to turn green. From there, internet, gps, mms, etc. all work.

Good job mate, now go and enjoy it!

Hit the thanks button for ya. Your insight was much appreciated. This phone is light years ahead of my old samsung code. I've been meaning to obtain an android cell phone for awhile, I'm glad I got this one. The gps functions on these things are absolutely incredible. The web browsing on it is so nice. The only thing I can hope for now is RF radio reception. I've been checking the net periodically (which leads me back to this forum often) to see if there's progress. That would be a nifty function as everyone carries there cell with them. If you want tunes, being able to grab it from your cell is very convenient. <----(I imagine I'm getting a little off topic here lol). Well, see you later. Thanks again.

You've certainly picked a winner. LG aren't exactly known for their build quality but they've put together a nice package in the G2x. Also, I love that it runs stock Android and doesn't have a Skin/Launcher over the top. Means you'll get updates quicker and you're free to do whatever you like. I am pretty sure it has an FM radio built in, you just have to plug in the headphones to work as an antenna.
Many thanks for the 'thanks' too, good of you
Enjoy mate, feel free to hit me up if you think I can help.
Oh and PS, welcome to XDA

I was trying to hold this button or just click this button and it turns grenn. But what happens is I reboot, then I'm trying to use internet, browser opening one page (sometimes not even that), I'm going to apn settings again and seeing that the green button back to t-mobile again.... For some reason it is automatically switching back to original settings. I do have a new apn saved in there too.....

I think I know what you're saying here. In other words, you are using the APN that you set up to work with Simple Mobile but it keeps switching back to the T-Mobile APN right? If so, I'm having the same problem--a lot of people are. It started happening right after the update to 2.3 Gingerbread. What someone ought to do is, make something so that the stock T-Mobile APN can just be edited.

By the logic that is the only way. Probably to do that we need to root the phone and make changes in APN folder.... But that's on the paper.

Is there any way out of this issue?? I really love the G2x but its almost impossible to use data as it keeps switching T-mobile APN.. Can we delete the T-mobile APN if we Root the phone??

I'm not sure if there's a way to edit the apn or delete it for that matter. Here's what I've done as a work around. It's pretty generic but it's working. I simply reboot my phone only every several days; when I do, I switch it back to the simplemobile apn, then I use all kinds of stuff like:gps, internet, etc. It will at times, switch on me 2-4 times but once it stays, it stays as long as I don't reboot.
Otherwise I think this is happening to other android cell phones as well. I bet they'll provide a fix for it. It's something related to this edition of the OS if you ask me, else it would have done this on other versions as well.

Ocean .. you are AWESOME. it worked like a charm , i kept searching around until i found your post, i'm gonna post this in another thread on here about the same issue if you don't mind. i'm sure many people are experiencing this issue
glad i didn't have to root ..why? my name says it all

Thanks for that compliment. Great choice in phone btw. Mine is doing everything that I need it to do and more. Emailing works, gps works, texting works, surfing the web works etc. It's like having a tiny little laptop at your constant disposal
If you like some of the games that can be played on these things, try Dragon Fly. You can find it at the android market for free. I've been having a blast with it. I'm ranked number two in 90650 zip code

Thanks for the tip about holding down the button until it turns green. Indeed it worked for me too. I actually think I had to just keep pushing it rather than hold it. It also takes a minute while the system resets the services. I rebooted for the heck of it too.
Another tip: Someone in a thread says "APN Manager" app fixes any problems for rooted users who have Gingerbread. Some custom roms don't need it though. More solutions are discussed here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=18842276&posted=1#post18842276
I'm sticking to Froyo for now because of this. Just tested GPS and Internet walking around the block. A+++!

Yeah, the phone is pretty darn good. It's got a good size screen, great graphics, and it's not TOO big. I've seen some phones and they're borderline tablet lol. Would have been good for them to not have made the apn uneditable, and it would have been a good idea for them to have included the FM radio. The European cousin has the FM radio capability but I guess when it was released for america, they purposely kept that disconnected . Bummer! Oh well, folks will just consume all kinds of bandwidth by using a radio ap

[Tutorial] Quick Wi-Fi Fix

Hey guys,
I've been following XDA-developers for a long time, and would like to return something for all the help the community has provided. I traded my iPhone 4 for a G2X today only to find out that my BB data plan is incompatible -_-. Unwilling to wait until Memorial Day was over (611 closed), I decided to turn on Wi-Fi and tinker with it.
Unfortunately I fell victim to the phone's Wi-Fi's problems. It worked for seconds at startup, then simply stopped. Frustrated, I decided to take manners in my own hands. The evil culprit is T-Mobile's My Account program. Here is how to fix it (root and a $3.99 Market purchase required, no piracy!!)
First follow the directions in this tutorial to root your phone. Its pretty simple. ADVANCED: unrooting method.
Make sure Wi-Fi calling is turned on, as well as 3G/4G (from Mobile networks settings page)
Do a battery pull AFTER you enable the above ^. Wait 1 minute before rebooting your phone.
Wi-Fi should work on its own (although buggy) with these two enabled. If you have 3G/4G, you do not need to do this: for Wi-Fi only users, continue to reboot until you have somewhat of a stable Wi-Fi connection. It's very intermittent but eventually it will work for enough time to download Root Explorer from the market!
Go to the Market and install Root Explorer (purchase required, there may be free ways but I do not know of them and I do not advocate piracy)
Open this app. A popup from Superuser will ask you for permission. Grant it with "Allow"
From Root Explorer, navigate to /system/apps
At the top of the list box click the "Mount R/W" button
Scroll down and look for the following: MyAccount.apk and com.nuance.nmc.sihome (the latter may be named differently but it has a My Account icon)
A box will come up telling you that com.nuance.nmc.sihome has encountered an error. This box will refuse to go away. Simply do a battery pull.
YOUR WI-FI WOES SHOULD BE GONE, and your phone's stability should have improved. Enjoy!
You can download the latest version of My Account from Market now and cease to have problems.
Other safe-to-remove T-Mobile stuff:
EA Games (EAPK)
Zinio (does anyone use this?)
Telenav
Nova
Need for Speed
Polaris Office
LMIRescue (an app T-Mobile can use to potentially remotely command your phone?)

You don't need to do any of this noob stuff if your wifi doesn't connect to your home router or any router for that matter. It's unneccesary and time consuming, not to mention risky since you could "brick" your phone. All you have to do is reboot the phone, simplest way is hold power button and volume up simultaneously, then it should connect, assuming you entered the correct password if router has secure connection.

I just turn wifi off then back on. Works for me.
And stop with the noob stuff the guy just wrote he came from an iPhone to a g2x.
He will figure it out as he goes.

I see two band-aid solutions, a reboot, and a restart...gosh that is advanced.
Verse a solution to fully resolve the problem, and keep it gone. More importantly a possible isolation of the cause.
These super duper pro android interlopers are unapproachable on their savvy solutions. Ummm no
Since the OP says its linked to My account program, and I know on first run it says a newer copy is available, I am going to wonder that many users don't touch it.
So since I am already freshly on a complete reset of everything (erase all date, or hold down volume and power) I am going to try.
1. Full erase reset
2. First thing upadate new version of My Account.
3 Hard restart.
4. See how it reacts
My wifi is decent except sometimes it does clog up and I have to clear buffers and shut down programs to get it to kick up. Start and stop wifi solves nothing on mine.
Anyways its about 10 minutes of time to do, since my phone already is in near out of the box setup.

Sorry but I'm not here to post "noob" stuff. Of course restarting the phone or its wifi radio were part of my first efforts. But the phone's stock software has a bug in which the default My Account program a) causes a DNS issue and b) displays itself twice in Manage Applications. Things work great if you have a working data connection from tmo but if not you will notice that wifi refuses to work on its own. I'm not dumb and by no means am I a noob. I've been following XDA since the days of the Wizard. By the way rooting and deleting useless carrier garbage like the buggy and persistent MyAccount.apk will not brick your phone unless you are careless.

"My Account" from tmo has been nothing but a pain in the ass for me. I froze it using Antek App Manager (a free app). I used the same software to freeze the other garbage that came installed by tmo, and battery and booting issues have greatly improved. Just my 2 cents.
Other stuff I froze include: Car Home, ea games, Zinio reader, AppPack, T-Mobile TV, and wifi calling.
Of course some are big fans of wifi calling but I don't need or use it.

Okay sorry, it causes the HSPA / Wi-Fi switching issue. Could you be any more polite about correcting me? FYI I haven't found any SOLID proof of this. Immediately after removing MyAccount and all of its derivatives from the phone DNS requests worked flawlessly; It's been 9 hours of constant wi-fi only use without issues (NO radio turned on). Prior to removing the app, only IP addresses would be resolved by the browser.

No..Those people you're referring to would rather have people search before posting. This so called "fix" has been posted many times. No need to start a new thread.

I tried this and got no error lol. What I did was reinstalling MyAccount with the MyAccount.apk in system\app and now my wifi actually works with the Market.

[Fixed] GPS data loss, free WiFi tether

For those of you that noticed that while using google navigation you get data loss and also when you try to tether your data you get that annoying T-Mobile message about buying the service through T-Mobile I found a solution
Simply add a APN epc.tmobile.com and select it this fixes both issues
Name whatever
APN epc.tmobile.com
Leave the rest alone

Tested it out and it works for me. The wifi that is; I hadn't noticed issues with nav.
This seems odd to me though; if both APN's are seemingly set to the same settings, why does the stock one route through the upsell page, but the created one doesn't? I suppose it is hiding some setting from us originally?

Yeah, you just add it again and select it and everything goes fine.
I read something today about T-Mobile is "going to start charging for tethering" which as far as I know is something they always have done, so I don't know if this means they will be angrily seeking out people who tether/hotspot like this, but it's not stopping me, that's for sure.

Good find. Thanks. Working Flawlessly on my tmous one s.

Works
Its amazing that they set that up like that But has anyone done this workaround and still get contacted by t-mobile after the fact? or does it just function on correctly

I tried the workaround and using Chrome and IE browser I get the tmobile page.
When I try firefox it works and NO tmobile page.

I have used this work around to tether to my Touchpad and it works flawlessly. Thanks for finding this.

Nice find but i dont think it should be in the dev section, it should be moved to general.

Works great for me. I suspect the issue is with the APN type in the default APN's. The "hipri" isn't found in any other device that I've come across. Also guys, make sure in your custom APN you fill in the MMSC or your picture messaging won't work. You should use:
http://mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc

Best Workaround. EVER.

Just tested the APN thing again on my One S and don't work for me and also tried on Galaxy S 3 and it would not let me leave the apn type blank.
When reopened would automatically put in default mms admin

When I try firefox it works and NO tmobile page.

I get the tmobile page with Chrome and IE too, but thankfully, it works with firefox and opera.

it should work on the One S, but after the update it doesn't seem to work for me. You cannot do the same trick with the GS3. I think the only way to tether with that phone is to root it and freeze the t-mobile tethering manager.

Im on CM10 atm on my HTC one S, tried different radios, different kernels and different roms and changing the APN doesnt let me use my psvita through hotspot, it wont connect to the youtube app or anything like that, cant play cod multiplayer either >.< I used all of these features when I had the 5gb+ tether plan, then I saw that there was a "workaround" and decided to get the unlimited plan, but I cant get it working. 5gb isnt enough for me since I am always on the move and have pandora on, maps, youtube, netflix and other stuff.

Can't restore forgotten wifi network

Hi,
I selected "forget" on one of my home wifi networks and there's nothing I can do to restore it back.
My phone: Atrix 2 ATT running stock 2.3.6
Thanks for any help

Manually re-entering the info is the only way. Once it "forgets" it forgets.
Sent from my Atari Falcon030

Tried that, it did not help. I can see a new network with that name but there is no signal
From other devices I can see and use the network.

Try a factory reset. I know it is a PIA, but most of the time, that fixes a lot of these oddities.

(1) Try *#*#4636#*#* then go to Wifi API, choose enableNetwork and enter SSID manually.
(2) Change some parameter of the wifi network (since this is your home network I assume it is under your control), last option being the SSID itself, but the pain is, you may have to update all your other devices.

WOW, that might be a painful way to go... try the factory reset before you go to all that trouble. I know it will be painful if I had to make a change to my SSID or anything that major on my netowrk, I would have to change my firewalls as well (2 checkpoint firewall one servers on 2 Sun ultra 10 servers). I know that is not typical, but even anyone who has more than 3-5 devices might regret having to go to each device and changing thier settings just to get thier phone back to seeing the wifi. when and factory reset should fix it.

Thank you all guys. My senses tell me that factory reset should do the job but since the ICS update is so close, I will save the trouble and wait for it, assuming it should work as well.

Just wanted to update everyone. I went on vacation and have connected to many different networks. When I can back, my lost network popped again on my device. My guess is it was hidden inside an internal queue, and once that queue overflowed it popped again.

This works on my I337 NI1 Unlocked Rooted. I uses ES Explorer with Root Explorer enabled.
I went to the "system " folder in the device, scrolled down until I found "build prop" then edited using ES Explorer Note Editor.
Greatly appreciated and high credit to dajumper's work !!

If you look at the post directly above yours you'll see that this was fixed over two years ago. Also, the link you posted is either dead or incorrect as it just goes to "404: page not found". That's not even to mention that this is the forum for the Motorola Atrix 2 so your post is in the wrong forum anyway. If you're just trying to get passed your 10 post requirement then please try to do so in a more constructive way. Thanks. :thumbup:
