In the past on other handsets it's always been LTE/CDMA. That particular option is not available on this phone. Global was the default. I had always been told by VZW reps to not be on Global. I changed the setting to LTE/legacy 3GPP mode then the sub option of LTE/legacy 3GPP multi-mode since it looked the closest to LTE/CDMA. Under that I couldn't make calls.
What's the correct setting?
ive always found on stock rom lte only was a good all around but on custom roms i have to be on global cuz lte only wont allow me to make a phone call. idk i guess global is the default setting for a reason so id use global

Usually depends on the type of Rom you are using. Most will let you get away with Global, but I usually leave mine on LTE
Not rooted yet. Stock from the box.
It depends on which works on whatever ROM you are using. On some ROMs, I use Global and LTE on others. The Verizon reps usually just spill random mumbo jumbo so just use what works.
If rooted, use advanced signal status app and select what you want
Call settings, stock rom

I have an HTC One M8, VZW, not rooted or anything. I cannot make phone calls when on "LTE only Mode", and have no 4G when on CDMA Mode but can make calls. I have to use Global Mode to be able to make phone calls and get 4G Lte. What ectly is this Lte/Legacy 3GPP Mode that was forced upon VZW users with the update? When I first got the phone (Android 4.4.2,) there was an option for CDMA/LTE. Now on 4.4.4 there is no more CDMA/LTE. I believe the change actually happened when I got the update to 4.4.3. I cannot use the Lte/Legacy 3GPP Mode. What good is it and Why is it there??

see my above post.
i just use LTE only in phone settings and i set LTE/CDMA in the settings of the Advanced Signal Status app.
that way, i don't get crappy EVDO, nor will the phone search for any GSM garbage (do not know if there is a battery difference between my method and Global ) . Dont do this if you will be outside of LTE coverage often

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.

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#*#*:

GSM only
WCDMA only
GSM auto (PRL)
CDMA auto(PRL)
CDMA only
EvDo only
GSM/CDMA auto (PRL)

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.

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.
I have ALWAYS had very poor AT&T service in my house, from my iphone 3g, iphone 4, iphone 4s....as soon as you pull in my neighborhood AT&T service just goes to ***
I got the One X however and realized I can pick up LTE here when the radio first turns on! I can put it on airplane mode, take it off...and I'll get LTE for about a minute. I get 10mbps down instead of the 1mbps when it's just on "4G"
However..this can barely make it through a SpeedTest as it's 1 or 2 bars of service...then it switches from 2 bar 4G LTE to the 3 or 4 bar "4G"
The phone is thinking I get better service with just the plain 4G so it forces me to connect to that....in reality it's a tonnnn slower and much worse.
Is there any APN setting or any root hacks to force the LTE connection? I get LTE pretty much everywhere in town (las vegas) but like I said my neighborhood doesn't seem to be on AT&T's maps!
If you go to your dialer and type in *#*#4636#*#* it will take to a screen where down a bit from the middle is the option "select network type" tap that and there is and "lte only" option. I have read that this works to force only hspa+ but can't confirm it for forcing lte. Give it a shot though.

This does NOT work for forcing either HSPA or LTE. It always reverts back to auto. AT&T does not let you choose your network, period. We will not be able to choose the network unless and until we get the Rogers ROM working on the AT&T units (or until someone builds a custom ROM giving us the functionality of Rogers).

If you are rooted and have an unlocked bootloader, try a version of CleanRom or a stock rooted rom which is not an AT&T base. I have been able to lock my radio to LTE (only when not making calls that is) with CR V and I am on AT&T. The only thing is that when you make a call you get bumped to 3g/HSPA because AT&T doesn't do voice over LTE
As the title says, I am on Sprint and looking at the Network Mode options. LTE seems like the obvious choice since Im stuck here in the US. But, tell me if I am wrong or what the advantages/disadvantages are of both settings.

No carriers have voice on LTE. I know that on T-Mobile, my Nexus 4, Moto X and IPhone 5 all revert to HSPA+ when I get a call. They will go back to LTE at some point afterwards.
I'm wondering what the actual difference is between LTE and Global. So here is what I did. First, I set it to LTE Preferred and unlike what was said earlier in this thread and by others on the internet, it did not reset on boot, it stayed at LTE. I check the info menu and it said LTE/CDMA as the option. I then set it back to Global, and then rechecked the info menu, it is now LTE/GSM/CDMA. I'm betting that if I move him over to T-Mobile from Sprint that Global will stay the same but that LTE Preferred will likely then say LTE/GSM like my Nexus 4 does.
Just thought this might help folks. I would think that LTE Preferred is just fine for someone using Sprint in the US but that you'd want Global if you were traveling and getting a local SIM.

I know this may be a bit of a thread resurrection but I think it might be related to some of issues that peeps are now seeing on the Nexus 6 devices with Sprint

I'm only getting G not 3g or LTE. I am a bit new to smart phones. I've tried everything I can think of. Am I using the wrong apn settings? Is there something in the band selection menu I'm missing.

In Dialer 5754#*350# and activate your Bands or 5457#*350#
Still no dice
I've gone into the menu and specifically selected the required bands but still not dice. I went into the lte band selection menu. Is there another menu I should go into?

I have yet to root my phone I am a bit of a newb when it comes to things like this. I do plan on rooting it and giving it a Skin that has a lot more english. I have done this I selected bands 17 and 5 for lte and 850, 1900 for wcdma and gsm. In the Band Selection Menu. Should I be doing anything with WCDMA Channel, LTE Channel, WCDMA Security, RAT mode, RRC Version, SMS MO Domain, Service Domain, any specific APN setting what is it on your wife's phone, EF file edit, HSPDA category, HSUPA category, GCF Test, OEM RAD Settings, SKT Auto Test, IRS Setting, CA Setting, LTE 3GPP Rel. VER. or anything else I am missing?
I've determined that my phone is a very good fake
IDK if this is real issue but if some does have this problem and comes up with a solution. Please post it here I was beyond frustrated and hope this problem can be solved for someone.
Try going back to 4.4 and using LTE
Try taking your phone to an AT&T store and explain it to them. They will install a new SIM card and associate it with your IMEI #. Then you will have LTE!

I'm sitting in front of a Tmo store waiting for them to open and see where that goes. Hey guys how's battery life with this device. For what ever reason when I did put a Tmo sim in this phone it got only 3g now the chip was a nano from my nexus 6 using a quality adapter but holy crap I've never seen a phone eat a better like Godzilla. Hell it killed the device in like 3hrs. Although when removing the sim it seems to go normal using just WiFi connection. Very strange device behavior. Does this phone have bad battery life in its normal state? Since I am a huge "Big Screen" fanatic I would probably just get the extended battery from the Japan guys on amazon. Your thoughts?

1. You Should have an LTE Sim
2. LTE Data service Should be enabled on It.
3. You have correct APN settings From your Carrier
4. You should be in LTE Coverage Area
Now go to Hidden Menu of the Phone. 5457#*350#
in WCDMA Service Menu
1. Slecect WCDMA Channel and Slecect Full
2. In LTE Channel Select your Preffered band ( You should Knew your LTE band or ask from Carrier)
3. In Band Selection Select your bands or select automatic
4. In RAT Mode select automatic
5. Check mar APN Edit Function.
You can also increase RRC Version, HSDPA Category, HSUPA Category and LTE 3GPP Rel. Ver. if your carrier supports you can get higher speeds.
Reboot Again

Hey guys I was gifted a (used) M8. It came with the lastest official CM12.1, everything unlocked. I have found that network will stop working randomly and switching airplane mode on and off will do the trick. Thing is, I have missed important calls because of this. I've already researched the subject and no one seems to have a solution. This post is my last attempt at fixing this issue. Only details I can give you is I am using a Verizon phone on MetroPCS, and I suppose that has something to do with it. Also, is there any (preferably free) way to get my phone to automatically switch airplane mode on and off every 15 minutes or so when the screen is off?Thanks in advance!

Have you tried using a stock ROM or changing radios? Is your firmware up to date?
Can't speak from experience from using a cm12 ROM, but generally stock usually works better with signal over AOSP, especially if you're in a poor signal area.
I used to have similar problems, turned out WCDMA and LTE bands that my carrier used were disabled.
For my case (T-Mobile), I simply activated WCDMA 2 & 4 and LTE 2 & 4 and now have signal almost 24/7.
You can do this with CDMA tool since your phone is Verizon branded.
As for automatically cycling Airplane Mode, I'd imagine Tasker can do that.
