I am using unlocked ZTE Z331 outside US, it always connects to 3G network. In my area 3G network is not good. How can i change preffered network type to 2G? I didnt find any option in the phone to do same.

Hi all
I've got a problem with my Verizon S III device
I live in a country that doesn't have any 4G networks ( 3G only )
so i went to "settings">"more settings">"mobile networks">"network mode"
there i tried these:
Global witch doesn't connect to 3G
LTE/CDMA witch gave me that my SIM have "no service"
GSM/UMTS witch didn't connect to 3G also
so if anyone would help me on how to connect to 3G network I'd appreciate it
I can't get lte on my nexus 5. I have lte as my preferred network type and i live in an lte coverage area. I have contacted my network service provider and they sent a configuration setting.. but still no lte..what can i do?
Are you using the right APN?

Enter *#*#4636#*#* on your dialer, tap Phone Information, scroll down to "Set preferred network type:", and make sure "LTE/GSM auto (PRL)" is selected. (If you're in the US)
Toggle to 3G and then back to LTE after you make sure your APN is correct. I had to do that on mine to get it to grab LTE initially, it's been fine ever since.
Hello guys, i am from India. Here, I have activated airtel 3g and i am from Maharashtra state. Here, airtel network uses IDEA network for 3g packs as they don't own the spectrum. I kept my cell in 3g mode and "automatically select network", but it stays in 2g(Same doesnt happen in my note 2, using 3g in auto mode). If i manually select IDEA from the list of networks, it goes to 3g. I want to keep it on auto, like switch to 2g when 3g is not available. Settings are same. How to make it switch to 3g automatically. Preferred mode is 3g. Any problem in my handset?
Thanks
yesterday i flashed 23.0.A.2.93, to root and get recovery. when the flash was finished and it reboot, my 4g was gone, and i only got edge. i live in the woods, but i had 4g before. when i went to town, the E changed to H, but still slow, and no 4g. now i've flashed back to 23.1.A.1.28 (modded CE1) and still no 4g. why is this, and what can i do to fix this? i have the right APN
Did you check to make sure 4G is enabled? You can press the 4G switch from the quick settings menu or go into the settings app and then under Wireless and Networks ...More >Mobile Networks > Preferred Network type. Perhaps you have WCDMA (preferred/GSM selected, in which case you won't see the 4G icon come up even if you're in a 4G area. Switch to 4G (preferred/WCDMA/GSM and after a few minutes, your phone should switch to 4G. If it doesn't then tap on Network Operators and see if your network has a 4G signal in your area. You'll see an entry for each available 2G, 3G and 4G signal.
You can also change the preferred network type from the service menu. Dial *#*#SERVICE#*#* and then tap on Network Mode.
Hope that helps.

it was on "WCDMA (preferred)/GSM", changed to "LTE (preferred)/WCDMA/GSM", now i have LTE, but thats not the same as 4g right? *#*#SERVICE#*#* > service settings the "Network Mode" option is grey and it says "N/A"
Suddenly, it started with 4g again, thanks
I'm customer of the local carrier "Drei" (Hutchison) but my Pixel (bought in Germany) does not connect to the 4G / LTE network.
The support of Drei is not able to help me. LTE is working fine with the same SIM on the OnePlus One.
Any clue how to fix that?
There is regional problem I came across. In India here we dont have VOLTE support on pixel

What LTE bands do they use on Drei?
Same happen to me in Portugal with MEO. I can't seem to solve it. Talked with my carrier support, they don't know why I don't have 4G/LTE.
I never got 4G, but my SIMCard has no issues with iPhone getting 4G right away.
Is it Pixel issue? I start to think it is..
3/Drei is listed here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_LTE_networks_in_Europe#Commercial_deployments
The specs of the Pixel are listed here: https://madeby.google.com/phone/specs/
That is all information I have got.
Is there any possibility to display information about nearby LTE senders via an app?
After activating "LTE only" via *#*#4636#*#* it works. Everytime I search for networks or reboot my phone it still connects via 3G and switches back to "LTE UMTS auto (PRL)".
Seems to be a software issue.

I use the phone on Verizon and don't have any problems connecting to LTE using any available mode (Global, LTE/CDMA or LTE/GSM/UMTS). However, if I set the mode to LTE-only via the menu, it will also reset when I either reboot the phone or if I just open the "Cellular networks" menu. I think it's how it supposed to work because that menu doesn't have the LTE-only option, so it resets the mode to whatever you see there. The solution is simple - if you reboot the phone change the mode again and don't go to the "Cellular networks" menu
Regarding why it doesn't work with "LTE UMTS auto (PRL)", it might be because Drei didn't configure a handover from UMTS to LTE on the cell site you're connected to. It looks like Pixel finds UMTS signal first, but doesn't know that LTE signal exists due to a missing handover. Another phone might be fine if it searches for LTE signal first. But if you can see another phone switching from UMTS to LTE in the same spot, my theory is wrong.
