[Q] How to disable LTE??

Hi, in my country we dont have lte yet, so I just use 3G, I would like to disable the 4G. I've tried to look for an option on Mobile Network Settings, but I have no options for doing it. My firmware is 2.3.5
Thanks

use the kj7 rogers modem which is RAT unlocked, then u can dial *#2263#* and select which bands u eant to use, and of course select 3g frequency

I made a network settings shortcut with anything and I just set it to hspa+ when I don't need lte and swap it back to auto mode when in the city.

There is an app in the market call badass battery monitor that sets it so you can only connect to edge/3G/4G etc try it.

Don't think it will disable LTE, Juice Defender can't do it with the AOSP helper and root.

^^^^^ nothing can actually. the LTE radio is on whether or not u are using it. Someone with radio monitoring equipment confirmed this

setting/wireless and network/mobile networks/network mode - set to HSPA only.

On a Rogers rom, with a Rogers radio. Rogers rom w/ ATT radio doesn't permit HSPA only, it only accepts LTE/HSPA or HSPA/GSM. Also there has been no confirmation that the LTE radio still indeed is off.

[Q] Force persistent WCDMA only?

Hello All,
I'm on the WIND mobile network and I'm trying to prevent my MyTouch 4G Slide from roaming on Rogers. I'm running pyr-o-ice 1.12 desensed, and I can't figure out how to get the WCDMA only mode to stick.
I only recall one ROM (don't recall which one) being able to set WCDMA only as persistent, and this one doesn't seem able to. I've read that there is an app available on the market, but I'm wondering if there's any way to do this straight through Android. *#*#4636#*#* menu settings are NOT persistent. Even without rebooting, the phone will switch to WCDMA preferred even after I have set WCDMA only mode.
Does anyone have a persistent solution on ROM-agnostic Android? I don't mind editing files through adb. Thanks!

It may be a glitch in the ROM. I have the stock Rom and run WCDMA Only mode all the time. T-Mobile's 2G at my work is terrible so I just use WiFi or WCDMA.

I have full bars on both 2G and 4G, but the 4G is slooooooow... Anyone know why? Sometimes 2G is faster... The phone on 4G just seems to keep downloading "something" but doesnt show much... And takes forever to load. So i have to use wifi but when i am out id like to use 4G... Thanks

Force 2g. Is it possible and how

Most of the reason I rooted my phone was to be able to force my at&t Skyrocket into 2g mode. I get little to no 3g coverage at work and when the phone switches to edge (2g) I get almost full bars. I have tried cm9 rom which has a known issue with forcing 2g anyway but gave it a shot. I also had aokp with no luck. And yes, I went to settings>network>use 2g mode on both roms. Then I went after radios......I know at&t has a rat locked radio so I thought I'd be clever and try the rogers rat unlocked radio. Got really good data speed, call quality, and signal other than work of course. But still didn't allow the force 2g mode. Tried the *#2263# or whatever and it won't even bring up a menu on at&t phones which is understandable because its a rogers thing. Then I tried the trusty ol *#*#4636#*#*. Wouldn't do anything either. Suggestions anyone? Or maybe its just impossible....

You can force the Skyrocket into GSM-only (2G/EDGE), but your ROM has to support it. Sky ICS does, not sure about others.
*Edit: Just tried it on my phone, and it seems to have worked fine.

You can on cm9 by first going to "select network operator" and choosing at&t. Then 2g networks only will stick. Thank cschmitt for this.

Greeting from Hong Kong.
I encounter the same problem. The 3G (WCDMA2100) signal at my home is too low (<-110dbm) to make a call but my Skrocket could not switch to the 2G network (GSM900 with -85dbm) automatically. I wonder if anyone has an apps that could switch the phone to 2G mode through the servicemode menu (*#2263#, 3, 6) and then back to 3G mode (*#2263#, 2, 6).
Bender mentioned that a Sky ICS ROM could do it. Please let me know where I can obtain this ICS. Thanks very much.

setings, more, mobile networks? Or something similar.
I was wanting to do this without flashing a rom. I am running stock ICS AT&T i727UCLF6.
I have the same problem where i don't get very good 3g service, drop calls all the time and would just like to force it into 2g mode while at work. Why would this be removed from the rom should be a basic feature.

Install RAT unlocked modem, *#2263# and picking specific band that is supported by your provider suppose to work. Tho it's not gonna work on CM/AOSP based roms. It will work on att phones.

Thanks very much. Flashed the Rogers Offical ICS modem found here. [MODEM]Official Rodgers..Release Modem- UXLF3
I am able to change to 2g mode only now. However i was wondering if there is a possibility of automating the process via an app, instead of using the *#2263# via the dialer?
For G only: *#2263#, choose option 3 GSM band preference, Then GSM 1900 I did not get 2g on this option but I hear from others that you can.
For 2g only: *#2263#, choose option 3 GSM band preference, Then GSM 850 Never dropped to G but has the possibility to.
For 3g/HSPA only: *#2263#, choose option 2 WCDMA band preference, Then WCDMA 1900 or 850
To return to normal: *#2263#, Choose Automatic.
I don't have LTE in my area but I believe you can choose LTE B17 from LTE option to have LTE only. Didn't buy for LTE but because it was the best device (specs) through AT&T at the time.

AT&T Atrix2 in Netherland

Hi,
Any AT&T Atrix2 users in the Netherland ?
I've just arrived last week and I couldn't get a stable data connections. I know it's not a network problem because my friends don't have any problem. So I'm wondering if for some reason it's my phone (radio incompatibility maybe).
Most of the time it just won't attached to the network, other time it attached to the network but data is not flowing.
SMS/Voice call are doing fine.

What APNs are listed?
Edit - You may need to add a new APN from this list: http://wiki.apnchanger.org/Netherlands

Live Vodafone...
Anyway, don't think that the problem is with the app, cause from time to time, I could have connection (a very fast one I have to say), but most of the time, no traffic are coming through.

And you have tried your connection from the same locations as your friends, who are also using the same mobile operator?

I use a SIM unlocked AT&T Atrix 2 in the Netherlands with no problems. I'm on T-Mobile NL and live in Amsterdam.
I have had problems with my phone failing to connect to a data network when I travel outside of the Netherlands, though. It'll get itself into a state where it won't send or receive data even with the "data roaming" option selected. I've always been able to solve it by rebooting the phone, but that's a crappy solution. Does a power cycle fix it for you?

recently ive been all around(Ger,Aus,Slo,Cze,Hun) europe with data roaming on, and i had data(and phone ofc)just fine where i wanted it. im with vodafone.
unlocked att atrix2

I think it might have something to do with the radio. Force my phone to 2G and connection is very stable.
Might be related with me living in Maastricht which is quite close to the border.

afaik the att 3g bands dont cover all the european 3g gsm bands, its rare but you might be unlucky... you have to see specs of a2 and your providers bands.

Some of European providers use 900MHz band for UMTS which not supported by A2.
So in areas without 2100MHz but with 900MHz UMTS our phone will not work in 3G .

What I find it strange is, when I'm on 3G, phone and sms work just fine. I got a full signal also. That's why I don't suspect radio problem.

When you're on 3G, it SHOULD work fine.
If you meant "when you're not on 3G," then that is still normal. Different radio bands handle different tasks from your phone - SMSPhone being examples. You can still be "on network" and not have 3G data connectivity.
If you take a trip to a different city in the Netherlands and your 3G works fine, you'll know the problem is with the radio bands your carrier is using/not using in your home area. If your connection is still bad, then you have an issue with your phone itself.

^^
that is correct. its not so simple as "sms works so data should too"
in this century less and less people are sending sms and calling, compared to the growth of mobile data usage. but the number of bands on the avaliable frequencies didnt grow at all. so networks adapt to it, different bands are becoming data bands, and small unused bands are becoming phone bands, and so on..

G2X Freezes + 3G network problems

Hello -
I'm having some connection issues with my T-Mobile G2X device.
I started using it with a 2G SIM card and it worked just fine ( I'm not using it in the united states but I'm pretty sure it supports the local 3G network ).
I started playing with roms, again, everything worked fine.
A couple of months ago I switched to a 3G carrier.
I couldn't get the 3G network working, though the normal calls, sms and wifi work ok.
Sometimes the APN list just won't respond - I get inside it, it shows no entries, I create a new one, and after I press "Save", it's still empty.
Sometimes the APNs I inserted do appear, but not functioning.
I checked my sim card with other smartphones, and they manage to access it's 3g just fine.
I tried multiple roms, multiple APN settings and a Premission Fix - nothing helped.
I'm currently using the HellFire v1.8 ICS rom, but the network didn't work with GB roms as well.
In addition, I noticed that when the phone powers up after I had restarted it, it takes him quite a while to pick up the mobile signal, but maybe it has nothing to do with the phone it self, as this appeared only after I switched to my new carrier.
Any ideas how to fix this?
Also, sometimes after I finish a call, the screen goes black, and the only way to repair it is to remove and re-enter the battery. is that the "SoD" that the sticky refers to?
Thank you for your help!

To the best of my knowledge the g2x is 2g & 4g only. So you will need to get a different phone if you want 3g service.

The G2X only supports HSPA 1700/1900/2100 frequencies, which is technically 3G. But T mobile likes to call it 4G. What you should have done is check your carrier frequencies and if it supports 1700/1900/2100 frequencies then you should have no problem getting 3G/4G service. Hope it helps.

ICS roms for G2X are really buggy, if you want a fully functional phone you should go for CM7 based roms
