Is there a way to manually set to 3G only even with a 4G signal available?
There is an app in the market called phone info that will allow you to do this just set it to cdma(auto)

Why use an app? I can set this in the Phone Settings menu!
Not in an hd maxx you can't
And dialing *#*#4636#*#* ? This opens it on all Android normally.
Yes that works but it's a lot easier to do in settings if it were only there! I assume you have the non-HD model?
Yes that is correct, I use the menu but my 4G battery is surprising

Hi people,
Recently went to the market, and I tried downloading Green Power. It claimed to be able to work with 2.3.3
However, I don't see it toggling 3G automatically.
Has anyone managed to get it working?

If you are connected to a wireless network the app doesn't use your data connection. Try running the app with your wireless off or turn off your router. You'll see it working then.

Huh I thought the main objective of the app is to turn off the 3G when its not in use?
What's the point of turning off the wifi or router?

I got this yesterday it does switch off the 3g so I think its been working. Although there were a few times when I switch RH screen on and off too quickly that it takes 10 seconds o so before 3g comes back
So far its been good using greenpower can update later

The reason I said to turn off wifi/router was so he could see if the app was turning on/off his 3g connection properly; that being his question

Alright its been a few days and I can safely say that green power is working out awesome for me
If I just leave the phone alone it last a lot longer I'd estimate it to using around 10-20% battery judging by the percentage reported by the phone

All of a sudden my 3g network quit working! For some reason, I'm also unable to receive sms messages, though I AM able to make calls. The up arrow on the 3G indicator flashes constantly, obviously indicating I'm trying to access data, which I am, but the down arrow stays inactive except for a few random flashes (just once and then a few minutes of nothing again). I've tried toggling airplane mode, turning mobile network on/off, rebooting the phone and I even went as far as resetting, all to no avail. This is my home where I have NEVER had any troubles with 3g. Occasionally, the phone does recieve data for long enough to load a page or anything else but the majority is just getting network errors and failures to load. If anyone can help, it would be greatly appreciated.
Are you rooted? If so what ROM are u running?

Also, just to be sure, what done are you using and who is your provider?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App
No, I'm not, sorry for not stating that. It's an HTC Wildfire (CDMA) running on a small network here in NC (Carolina West Wireless).
And your provider?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App
Are you Sprint,Verizon..
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App
Sorry Slag, the name of the Provider is Carolina West Wireless. Anyway, here's my up/down stats since last reboot: pppsent: 1315 pkts ppprecieved: 519 pkts
Check your apn settings and make sure they match your service providers settings.

Ok. Honestly,you need to be rooted.LOL. Seriously,it sounds like a network error. I would call customer service,and ask for technical support. If you are with Sprint,ask for technical support. They should be able to walk you through it. Do any of your friends have same phone and network? Check with them,and see if they are having the same issues. You stated that you did a factory data reset,can't remember if that requires reboot. Sure it does,though.Also, try doing a battery pull.

Not since the factory reset. Anyway, to be honest I cant find apn settings anywhere. From what I understand it should be settings>wireless & networks>mobile networks> But "Access Point Names" is missing.

There's not an accessible API yet for accessing the WiMax radio - thus no toggle outside of the settings page. I haven't looked through the updated wimax code for 2.3.5, but I'd guess they didn't add public methods accessible via reflection (and it's not in the API either at this point).
I installed minimalistic text, then created a widget that takes me directly to the 4g menu (where I can toggle it). I also have it display my batt life.

I just use anycut to make a shortcut to the 4G menu to toggle it on or off.

Tried searching and could not find any settings that worked for me. On my N4 I used what is on the simple mobile site and I had internet but no mms. Now I cant even seem to get the internet to work. I have tried different settings I found online but none seem to work for my N5. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you
Confirmed working on simple mobile.
Make sure you select simple mobile network from available network.

Quick update. Switched to 3g and data is faster. May just be my area.

I just switched over from att to sprint and got a sprint sim card activated for the phone, I can use lte data text and receive calls, but every time I try and make calls it disconnects and starts searching for network.
Anybody know how to fix this?

Did you check your APNs?
It doesn't give that option in the settings
Sent from my Nexus 5 using xda app-developers app
Try changing the preferred network type.
Yeah I've tried that, it's weird because the data will work perfect fast 4g, and I can get calls send texts etc.
But the moment I try calling it disconnects and starts searching for service

Dial*#*#4636#*#*. Then make sure under phone is set to LTE/CDMA auto prl.
It was at to LTE cdma
Sent from my Nexus 5 using xda app-developers app
I'm assuming that you have tried the prl and profile updates. In the test mode (4636) switch to lte/gsm/cdma and then back to lte/cdma. Choose global instead of lte for the preferred network type.
Which radio? It might be a CSFB issue. You might try the .17.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Free mobile app
I tried switching to GSM and then back to cdma didn't work, I have update the prl and didn't Work
Any other suggestions?
