How to force LTE to turn on?

I've already selected LTE as the network mode under mobile network settings, but as I type this I'm on 3G. I know I get 4G in this area, but it's not exactly the best. My goal is to stay connected to LTE even when the signal is worse than 3G. I did this on my Galaxy S3 by toggling the LTE setting that CyanogenMod 10.2 allows you to do from the quick settings panel, but the stock Nexus 5 ROM doesn't have that option.
How can I force my Nexus 5 to stay connected to LTE even when the signal is worse than 3G?

It should prefer LTE all the time. Make sure your APN is correct for LTE on your carrier.

In you dialer, enter *#*#4636#*#*, after that you should see a menu popup, select phone information...scroll down and you should see a drop down menu, change from the default GSM/LTE to LTE only

I could be wrong, but I think doing that will not allow you to get calls or texts, because those run off gsm.

That's correct. Until VoLTE is a thing.

Did you find a fix? I'm having the same issue where it's not sticking.

Can't reach Google at this moment?

So within Google Now when I click the little magic looking icon, I try to change my location and it says can't reach Google at this moment?
My friend was able to do it next to me in his Galaxy Mega with no problem.
Any thoughts?

Side Solution:
Found a work around by opening Google Maps, sliding the little tab on the left out and editing the location from there.

Try a different connection type. If you're on wifi, try it on lte, or vice versa.

I've noticed this for about a week now... I'm running DroidKang, but wouldn't think that matters.

Try ART

First thing I did after signing in was switch to ART. If your going to do the same, I'd recommend you do it before downloading your apps. It has to optimize all apps on the device and I did it without downloading a single app. 324 apps. Took a while.

Not stupid at all bud. Unlock developer settings by going to "about phone" in settings, double tap "build number" 7 times until you see the toast msg that says "you are now a developer". Back out, go to the newly available " developer settings " and 3rd (4th if you count the first non selectable line) option which says "select runtime system" and change it to "ART". It will say Dalvik until you've changed it to ART. Choosing it will reboot your device and take a few minutes while sets up your apps for ART. It is possible that if could be incompatible with some apps but since it first released with 4.4, I haven't heard of this.

I think this sped up the start up time of the camera, which is still kinda slow. I just hope I don't have issues with some apps as I've heard of others that had to completely reset their phone to stop some apps from crashing even after returning to Dalvik and reinstalling the app...
What is Art?

Basically, it is supposed to allow apps to start faster, run smoother and improve battery. Here's an in depth explanation

i think it may be kitkal art who released as soon as possible..:good:
After going to art the phone showed the unlocked icon on boot and custom rom....

Yea maybe kitkat he means.
No literally it looked like a flash counter notification stating modified... not sure of it unlocked the bootloader or not as I'll let someone else make that brick in error... it had a lock which showed unlocked though.

You can try what others did.
mine too?
Its gone when switch back
Mine does this as well. I can't believe Samsung marks the device if you run ART. A stock feature of Android.

Yeah, that's kinda crappy. Good thing TW was toned down so much I don't see any reasons for flashing yet.

Yeah, not too bad. It looks as if they started to redesign it but only got as far as settings and quick settings lol. With Nova and Flatro icons, it looks as though it's how it was supposed to be done. One of things that was always first on my list after rooting or flashing was changing the appearance of the status bar/quick settings. I like them now so with Nova, I really like the appearance. IMO.

I like TW now. Using Google Launcher and it's very close to stock.

I don't wanna open a thread for this so I'll try it here, I can't remember the "official" name, but "quick glance"? Something like that. When device is asleep, you wave over it and it displays the time and notifications. The one " motion gesture " I use and I can't find it. Hope they didn't ax it.
Anyone know how to enable it? Can't find it in the gestures section... Nor can I find lock screen widgets.

I know people are all excited to try anything different, but ART on this device just isn't a good experience (at least on a stock device). I really wouldn't recommend switching, as you are unlikely to be pleased.

Notification sounds on text

Just picked up 2 m8s for my husband and I. It's been a long time since I've had an HTC phone. Really like it however I can't get he notifications to vibrate or ring for text messages. I've tried all the run of the mill stuff.
Something I'm missing?

That's weird. Stock messaging app? By default it's set for the VZW one. I picked HTCs version and setup my ringtone. Do a reboot for safe measure. Toggle back and forth between default messaging apps (kk feature) and then reboot again. Bet it's stuck with the one you're not using as default.
Sent from my HTC6525LVW
Hmmmm ok sounds good will try that. Yes it was the stock one. Was not impressed with the Verizon one
Sent from my HTC6525LVW using Tapatalk
Still no dice. The message won't even come through until I opened the app. I rebooted both phones and toggled the Verizon messaging app too.
Sent from my HTC6525LVW using Tapatalk
Figured it out. It was under networks and wireless. There were 3 text programs and I had to change the default one.

Advanced messaging working?

Title says it all. I have tried to use it with my brothers note 5 but it doesn't seem to work. WiFi calling and voLTE enabled on both phones.
Both phones have to have advanced messaging. It works between my and my wife with our note 5's
anyone else been trying to see if this works or not...
Lol still doesn't work between my brother and i. Both with note 5s. May be it's still "rolling" out to places, ie towers not updated yet
You have to go into contacts and open each contact that has the capability and the video calling and advanced messaging will flip to green. At least that has been my experience to get it to work for my contacts that have the option.

I tried that approach with my note 5, my wife has a galaxy s6. Advanced messaging was working for a bit, but then it stopped.

Mine works fine. I changed nothing, it was just working on day. I like it.

It works fine for me but sometimes like for a few hours a day it stops working and I have to manually toggle the ready report on/off to get it working again.

I thought it was weird that I could see my wife typing a message on my phone and it only worked for her.
