is it possible to activate 4g only on our devices because the switching between 4g 3g sometimes makes connection lost in the process .
You can't use 4G only because you will be unavailable for calls. 4G only you can use only if your carrier supports VoLTE.

LTE only/4G only is available on marshmallow beta B511 and on Kitkat firmware (however, in KitKat, it is a hidden option which you can access by installing 'Advanced Signal Status' app in Google Playstore. For Lollipop, it is not possible to have 4G only/LTE only mode unless your phone is rooted. When LTE only /4G only is activated, it will remain on that setting even if you restart your phone. You have to get into the settings again if you want to be back to 3G or other network modes. When LTE only/ 4G only is activated, you will not be able to receive any phone calls. Only text messages will be received.
it is possible.... just watch this video in youtube: Mobil Data 2g 3g 4g Switch Only Root
but you have to be root
regarts!

How to Fix AT&T Data Throttle Your 4G - Your Data Usage is Among The Top 5% Of Users
There is a nice little APN fix. Just change the APN to Phone and force your phone to use HSPA in your phone's settings. I have instructions with a screenshot...
http://www.traemcneely.com/2011/12/...rottle-4g-data-anti-throttling-trick-for-att/
How do you perform the first step on the skyrocket?
1. Go to Settings > Wireless and Network > Mobile Networks > Click Network Mode and force your phone to use GSM/HSPA (Auto mode).
I don't see "network mode".
Click Access Point Name..
I am now getting 512k vs 150k.

Found another trick.
I named the access point the same ATT pta, then I put Phone under the APN setting.
Put your phone into GSM/HSPA (auto mode) let it connect to the network,
then go back and put it as HSPA only.....I'm getting 1-2g+ bypassing the throttle using HSPA+ works like a charm.
Att Throttle Samsung Skyrocket
i did all when i click on Mobile networks i see access point names and network operators and use packet data. When i click on network operators is says Default setup doesnt allow me to do anything. Please help
Same here. Don't see 'network.mode' selection. Please help. Does it have to be rooted?

I am still not sure where/how to pick "GSM/HSPA (Auto mode)" on stock rom. Thats not an option.
What I have are:
WCDMA preferred - The GSM phone is capable of using both 2G and 3G data communication and when signal strength is low 3G is favored more.
GSM only - The GSM phone is capable of using only 2G data communication. When the 2G signal is too low you get nothing at all.
WCDMA only - The GSM phone is capable of using only 3G data communication. When the 3G signal is too low you get nothing at all.
GSM auto (PRL) - The GSM phone is capable of using both 2G and 3G data communication and when signal strength is low 2G is favored more. This one is a bit confusing to me since PRL is associated mostly with CDMA technology and not GSM technology.
CDMA auto (PRL) - The CDMA phone is capable of using both 2G and 3G data communication and when signal strength is low 2G is favored more.
CDMA only - The CDMA phone is capable of using only 2G data communication. When the 2G signal is too low you get nothing at all.
EvDo only - The CDMA phone is capable of using only 3G data communication. When the 3G signal is too low you get nothing at all.
GSM/CDMA auto (PRL) - Some phones are equipped with both GSM and CDMA capabilities. This setting appears to just have the phone attempt to stay connected to the data communication type that works the best. (Maybe the Samsung Galaxy S will take advantage of this???)
Unknown - If none of the above fit or the phone is acting weird as far as connecting to the carrier, you will see your preferred network type is set to this
(Cut n paste from another thread, dont know if these are applicable to Skyrocket/LTE)

Thanks for the pointer to the thread but my whole point is that I dont see those options and for some reason my network mode changes dont stick.
So if I disable packet network, switch the APN, change the network mode and then enable the network again, I see that it has gone back to GSM?WCDMA/LTE auto mode again.
So for some reason my network mode changes dont stick. Also, I am on stock rom, could that be the reason!

Custom ROMS give you the options you are looking for.
I am confused ! If the stock radio is *locked* to use LTE if available, why are some people reporting to lock onto HSPA+ network with stock ROM. Are they exploiting some bug?
I have tried various things but I cant switch my radio to anything except GSM/WCDMA/LTE auto mode. It seems to come back to that mode.
Do I need a reboot after changing the mode.
I am using *#*4636#*#* to switch the mode.
Switching APN 's worked like a charm ;o)

I am new to the forums, so please go easy on me.
A quick back story....where I live, I have to use a Verizon Network Extender to make and receive calls & texts from home. VZW's Extender only works with 3G. Since the upgrade to 4.1.1, the mobile network menu only has choices of Global, LTE/CDMA and GSM.
Until yesterday, I have been using an app called Phone Info to manually set my mobile network to CDMA Auto (PRL) when I got home and it worked perfectly. Since the update, the Phone Info app no longer works and I cannot find an app that will allow me the same access to set my mobile network. I receive just enough of a 4G signal where I live that my phone will not auto switch to 3G. So now I have an expensive paperweight at home.
Can anyone point me to an app or tweak that could help me with this problem?
Thanks in advance.
HI Guys. I think this is what's known as a 'senior moment'! I'm still getting used to the subtle differences between my new Mate 9 and my previous Android phones and I have a question about the icons at the top of the screen...
I'm sure that with previous phone,s if WiFi was on it didn't show the data connection via the phone e.g. H+/3g/4g - in other words, it was one OR the other.
I just noticed that on my Mate 9 (L29) BOTH are showing - see attached. Is that unusual? ... or am I going nuts?
Thanks
Huawei does it different, you're not going nuts!
I actually even have the internet speed up there too?...
---------- Post added at 10:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:28 PM ----------
I think it's how Huawei manages Wi-Fi +
They're a lot more efficient at switching between mobile data and wifi than anyone else....
Thanks for the info! :good:
Trouble is even if I turn off mobile data and wifi 4g LTE icon still persists. Is that also a Huawei thing?

Turning WiFi off has nothing with 4G.
However ('Huawei thing'), even without Mobile data, it still connects to 4g (but it shall switch to 3g for calls - you can check).
You can disable 4g in Settings / Wireless & network / Mobile network / Preferred network mode, select 3g/2g auto

With mobile data off, it still shows 4G icon in status bar and doesn't connect to anything. My point being it shouldn't show the 4G icon in status bar when mobile data is toggled off.
I believe this has to do with region C185 firmware. As the western Europe versions don't seem to exhibit this behavior.

Yes, it still shows 4g icon because IT IS connected to 4g - please read my previous post/answer
And you can install Net Monster or LTE Discovery and you will see that it is indeed connected to 4g (and to which 4g band, etc) while idle (although you switched Mobile Data off). It only switches back to 3g during the call.
It's not that icon is wrong, it is Huawei behavior.
And it doesn't matter, nothing is wrong in that - it just means that although you switched Mobile Data off, it still attaches to 4g when you are not in call (although you are not using 4g data)
Install Net Monster, LTE Discovery, Net Monitor or Network Cell Info Lite to see details about the band, cell, etc, it us really attached to

It just so happens I have the pro version Network signal info. Yep you're effin right. Its says it's connected. Albeit won't let me upload nor download data. Why does Huawei do this? Other devices normally when disconnected from mobile data show just bars and not 4g LTE icon.
Hi
It's like from the oreo update that my phones keeps stuck on h+ or 3g connection. With nougat I surf on 4g+ without problems when covered. Now in the same areas it won't connect to LTE. I can't force it becuase I can't access to the hidden menu its locked from the SW.
What can I do? It switch from h+ and 3g (with the 3g the velocity sucks..)
Already tried to reset my network setting from the reset settings.
If I put ONLY 2G also datas wont work, I stay offline. When i put 4g back it go in 4G but after few second it switch to h+ again. It's frustrating.
How to enable VoLTE on the korean U+? I've checked with my carrier and they confirmed that VoLTE service is active on my SIM. However I can't find any option to enable VoLTE in phone settings. I've only seen a VoLTE call quality option in phone settings - not sure if this means that it's already active. The status bag logo also shows just LTE when mobile data is enabled - no indication of VoLTE.
If you have mobile data showing LTE and it does not change to 3G (or something else) when you make or receive a call, then you are on VoLTE. That is my general understanding of it.

Ah ok. It seems you are not on VoLTE then. Sorry, I don't know how to activate it though.
i have the sprint version but am currently on tmobile network which (was switching me to 3g) during voice call or txt msg.
now that tmobile has been taking down 3g (and they are working on a tower in my area) i do not even see 3g symbol in notifications anymore. i can complete the call and there is no lte symbol or 3g symbol but call completes but can not use data still.
when i hang up i see lte and can use data (browse the web)
the funny thing is before i went to tmobile i had metro pcs in this area which uses tmobile network and i never had a volte problem so you know this is software and they just want us to buy more phones.
this exact phone worked on metropcs with volte no problem.
