How to make LTE default on boot instead of WCDMA - AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL

I am running the latest 10.1 build by Cory 6/4/13 which should have the fixes for the Radio which makes LTE default on boot. But for some reason my phone still boots with WCDMA as default. I can manually type *#*#4636#*#* and change settings, but it doesnt persist through reboots. Any ideas?

Maybe wipe cache and dalvik cache and dirty flash and if that doesn't work I found an app that gets you to the diagnostics screen.

2 new issues im having

1st-sometimes when switching from 2g or wifi back to 4g i cant get a connection even though i have 4 signal bars...the only cure is to reboot the phone...anybody have any ideas? And this happens in various locations.
2nd-started a few days ago..phone doesnt make a sound when i get email or sms but rings when someone calls..i reset the phone and sounds come back for a while and then it goes away again.
on cm7 7.1.0.1
1. Reset APN settings to default
2. Reboot into recovery, fix permissions, and wipe cache
3. Reboot and let it settle for 5 mins.
Good luck, let me know if it works.

[Q] Weird problem with phone/apn settings

So last night, I was trying move the dalvik cache to my ext2 partition. I am on a custom rom, b2tb. while trying to move dalvik, I did something wrong and it seriously screwed up my phone. I had a backup, but when i tried to restore it, i got an md5sum mismatch. I had two choices: odin, or wipe data/factory reset. not wanting to deal with going all the way back to stock, root, install cwm recovery, flash again, all that, i chose to wipe data through recovery mode. it fixed whatever i screwed up, but now when i reboot, my phone doesnt connect to data right away, and i get a message saying process com.android.phone has stopped working. i force close it and then it connects, but then it usually force closes again. i think its because my apn isnt connecting right away, and also think my apn settings could somehow be stored on my sd card, because it wont stay connected until after it says media scanning completed in the notification bar. i could be wrong about where my apn settings are being stored, but im still having problems with my internet connection not working right away on reboot. if i cant fix this, im gonna have to reflash b2tb and i dont want to do that. please help.
try to reset the apn settings i forgot what app does that to save the battery

any aokp users out there?

1. do you guys experience any 'phone'-related problems?
ie:
-when dialing someone, the call seems to be going through but you can never hear the dialing tones. (on screen: says 'dialing', but not to the part where it shows a timer for your call.)
-when receiving a call, sometimes ringtone will not play. (i have it set to vibrate and ring, and sometimes it only vibrates)
2. booting problems?
- phone will freeze when booting, until i wipe cache/dalvik cache and it'll finally work.
3. loss of signal/3g occasionally, until airplane mode is turned on then off.
None, here, on a Sprint Galaxy Nexus. Some things to ask, right up front:
1. What phone are you using and on what carrier? (EDIT: nevermind. I didn't note where you were posting. Nexus S is s Sprint device, right?)
2. Did you follow the directions EXACTLY (including wiping data, installingGapps,etc.)? (your number 2 above leads me to believe that you might not have.)
3. What recovery are you using? (CWM, TWRP ...?)

2. i only wipe data when it specifically says its mandatory for the update.
3. cwm touch recoverym (5.8.0.2?)
Im running aokp build 37 with Matr1x 20.0 no problems here!....Did you download the right version cause i think there is a crespo and a crespo 4g and if your phone is not the 4g you need the crespo only and when you install you need to wipe factory, cache, and dalvik cache then you reboot then go back into recovery and flash the gapps

SOLVED: WCDMA Only after reboot

Hi Guys,
I have been running WCDMA Only on my N5 with 4.4.2 for some time and every time I rebooted, the setting stuck. Now after the upgrade to 4.4.3, the setting doesnt seem to stick.
*#*#4636#*#*
Phone Information and change to WCDMA Only. Hit home button and the setting sticks, but everytime I reboot now, its gone.
Any help on how to get it to stick. I did do a complete Wipe and installed the factory image including the new modem. I reverted to the old modem but nothing helped. Did a factory reset, went back to 4.4.2 and it sticks there.
Tried a new 4.4.3 pre rooted rom, but still nothing.
If you're rooted you could use tasker. But just normally I don't know that you can change it. I'm surprised it stayed before. Didn't use to in older versions when I used to do that
Yep I am rooted. The settings stick on another N5 here on 4.4.2 with the same setup. It just seems odd I cant get mine to stick after reboot. Any build.prop edits anyone knows?
Bump. Hoping someone could help me out here.
SOLVED:
If you cant get the setting to stick do the following.
1) IF you want to run ART then.
a) Switch to Dalvik, Install xposed framework, install Intelli3g from Playstore
b) Reboot and run Intelli3G, make the network change
c) Reboot and see the setting stuck by going to *#*#4636#*#*
d) If so, then uninstall xposed framework via the installer
e) Reboot to see if the setting stuck by going to *#*#4636#*#*
f) Switch to ART and see if the setting stuck. It should have.
IF you dont run ART, do all the above besides uninstalling xposed. Stop at step C.

[Q] Help with mobile connection

So earlier today I booted into stock recovery and wiped the cache partition in the hopes that it might get the bugs out and speed my N5 up a bit. Well, while wiping the cache partition the phone frozen. I held the power button to reboot the device. The phone booted up fine, but I've seemed to have lost my carrier settings. I've taken the sim in and out several times and cannot get the device to connect to a mobile network. Carrier settings is not present under settings so I cannot manually update the profile. The phone is stock and running on the Sprint network. Anyone have any ideas how to get this thing working again? Thanks for your help!
Have you tried resetting your APNs back to default as well as setting preferred network to LTE/CDMA?

The option is there, you just have to find it under Wireless & Networks. I'm on a custom ROM so it appears in a different part of the menu.
Select Settings.
Select More Settings.
Select Mobile Networks.
Select Access Point Names.

I think thats what he means. "Mobile network" is gone.... Maybe?
Yes that's what i mean. Carrier Settings is missing as an option. I tired to do a factory reset under settings but when I click the button nothing happens. This is very odd.

This happened to me before. I wiped cache, it seemed like it hung up so I rebooted and lost network connectivity. Lucky for me (and you) it's easily fixable. Go back into recovery and wipe cache again. This time let it finish. It might seem like it's stuck but just let it run its course. When it's done, boot it back up and everything should be fine.

Thanks for the message; I wish I would have seen it sooner. I did fix the issue, but in a round about way. I tried to do a factory reset in recovery and the same thing happened it just froze up... or maybe was just was taking a long time. Anyway my impatience lead me to reboot, well that put me into a boot loop. Great... So i decide the only way out of this was to flash a factory image. Upon unlocking the bootloader and rebooting from fastboot all is back to normal. I hadn't planned on rooting my N5, but I'm this far now I might as well do it. Thanks everyone for the insight!
