I know on other phones there is a way to enable the LTE signal icon, so I am just wondering if anyone has been able to do it on this phone yet?

Any update on this? I'm wondering myself.
It really depends on the rom, whether the use 4G / LTE as the icon. Some roms have the options in the status bar settings to use the opposite.

I found this post. I am trying to do this for someone else (I don't have the Inspire).
Can someone please confirm if this will also turn off 2G completely and only use 3G, and also if it works on stock rom?
The problem is the person I am helping lives on the edge where the 3G signal starts and 2G ends (so his phone switches from 2G to 3G and vice versa). He just wants to use 3G/H for obvious reasons.
Or if someone knows another way to do this. On my captivate rom I can switch from 2g only or 3G/H only through settings. If he has to install a custom rom that's fine (would prefer a froyo rom). If he does need a custom rom, please tell me which rom has this ability.
+1 Thanks to first working answer. TIA

Dialer - *#*#4636#*#* - Phone Info - Change to WCDMA only.
That does not work for me. Change it. It shows E then I exit the screen and 2 minutes or less later H+ shows right back up..

It does not stick. It will continue to do the same switching from 2G to 3G and vice versa.
It says WCDMA only which should be ONLY 3G - but nope, doesn't work with stock.
A lot of ROMs have this capability built in through the menu- not that crazy code.
I get why you're doing it, just make sure that the user knows how to switch back in case they travel outside the 3G area, or are on the edge (no pun intended), but could get a better signal from a 2G tower and actually need to make a call.

Never had a need to, I live in a great service area. Only phone I have personally seen be any faster is the thunderbolt.

whenever I want to change,I do it, it so complex
Moved to Q&A section.
so i was playing with my friends s2 which is on sprint and he has a 3g/4g toggle. is it possible to do this on ATT? is it possible to run sprint roms on the att version?
i would love to be able to move data to 3g/edge while i am not really using the phone and this can save me tons of battery.
if someone knows please help.
also, ive tried the manual mode but it doesnt let me select other options in network settings.

Please do not even think about trying.to put a epic 4g touch rom on the skyrocket. Or anyother phones rom. Do not flash anything other then skyrocket. , and tmobile galaxy s2 roms on your phone or you will brick it. And no there is no toggle to turn off lte. You can edit the apn settings so it will not use lte. A quick search will explain how u can do that
Not sure about AT&T but the Rogers ROM has a fairly quick way to switch... In Settings-Wireless and Network-Mobile Networks, there is "Network Mode" which allows you to pick from GSM/HSPA/LTE (Auto mode), GSM/HSPA (Auto mode), GSM only, or HSPA only... I switch it to the GSM/HSPA (Auto mode) when I am not in Ottawa (no LTE in Deep River) and it saves a fair bit of battery.

The Rom I am on, as well as others I am sure allows me to set the following:
GSM/HSPA/LTE (Auto)
GMS/HSPA (Auto)
GSM Only
HSPA Only.
Is this not the same thing?

Could be. I don't recall. I've seen it in others as well. Was surprised as I had already known ATT didn't have it in stock.
It is. Att base roms this is what you get
Type: *#*#4636#*#* in the dialer and hit the first one, there at the bottom u can turn off 4g Lte and 4g HSPA
Which setting do you use though to shut it off to 3G only on AT&T? The options aren't very descriptive. Some are obviously not used but I'm not sure which to try. Here's the options I get by putting in that *#*#4636#*#*:
WCDMA preferred
GSM only
WCDMA only
GSM auto (PRL)
CDMA auto(PRL)
CDMA only
EvDo only
GSM/CDMA auto (PRL)
Unknown
GSM/WCDMA/LTE Auto [This is the one that is selected]
Also, it seems like it doesn't let me change it. I tried setting it to GSM only and when i came back to the screen it was still on the LTE Auto setting.
Yeah I'm confused what to choose to o

None of the settings stick for me.
Ditto. I used the app "phoneinfo" which is just a short cut way of doing the #*#*4636*#*# thing, and when I change it, it always goes back to GSM/WCDMA/LTE.

3g or 4g, with no LTE would be stellar. It would get me more play time on Pandora and Tunein. I use Nav and Tunein, when I am on the road, and use a 1Mah charger, and it's a very slow and steady drain, I suspect when I am in and around home, St. Louis, I am running LTE and eating battery.
I suppose if I have to have LTE constantly, another option would be better pricing structure. Maybe 5gigs for 30 a month, or unlimited again.
The att radios are rat locked.
So no you can not change these settings.
Hi -
The battery on my Skyrocket is draining so fast (and I do not browse internet, do not play games and sometimes do not even make any phone calls!)
So I have been looking for ways to save battery-
I found one idea: LTE & 4G uses more battery than 3G/GSM, and since my phone is usually on LTE or 4G- why not switch it to 3G?
*#*#4636#*#*
Phone Information
Scroll down
uncheck GSM/CDMA/4G/LTE
check WCDMA only
So this should switch the phone to 3G - but for some reason it doesn't (in the phone status it still shows that the phone is using LTE- although LTE doesn't show in top bar)
I wonder, should I also put something in "SMSC" field after I change to "WCDMA only"?
Something else drain your battety. I dont think its problem in network.

If you're on ATT it doesn't let you mess with the radios from what I can gather.

If you add the option in Settings.apk, it'll force it to stick onto one network, since it'll turn off the MIMO antenna, which kills LTE.

Can you elaborate? Does this have something to do w/ "mobile networks" in the settings menu?
im on att and use to seeing a 4g icon instead of the generic H+ is there any way to swap this? I installed xposed but have not found anything yet.
The H+ icon is the correct icon. I understand you're used to seeing a different icon but that's only because at&t incorrectly market HSDPA as 4G for some stupid reason. I'm unaware of any app or module to change the icon.

Systemicons is an xposed module that will allow you to change various icon in your systemui.apk.

AT&T did this because Verizon put them behind the "8 ball" in the early days of their LTE rollout. Verizon was first to market in the US with LTE and AT&T had a marketing nightmare on their hands while they played catch up. So they tried to convince consumers that HSPDA was 4G for a while. More like 3G+...
As you correctly pointed out, the icons are correctly displayed. No need to change them.
i am just wondering is anyone knows if this model can display LTE or will just show 4G? thank you to anyone with any information it is greatly appreciated
If it shows 4g there is a exposed module that allows you to change it to lte
That's my best advice

Thank you for the advice... I haven't rooted yet.. To be honest still on the fence about it... Again thank you for the information.
No problem, honestly I only rooted so I could use certain apps that I like, I always root my phone's aha that's my problem.

Nothing to fear about root. It gives you greater freedom.
Also there are some themes that might change 3G LTE icons.

Yes... My last phone did show LTE.. it was a tmobile lg g4.. As i am in Russia it uses MTS which is LTE also, might just be something in the software is what i am beginning to think.
You can try Flat Style Bar Indicators. Xposed required.
