Hello everyone.
I have a question since I've got my s6. Can you force the phone to only connect to LTE or 3G network only? Because in the network option: the only preferences available are:
-4G/3G/2G
-3G/2G
-3G Only
-2G Only
So what I want is an option like 4G/3G because I'm forced to go to the settings every time I want to have 4G because my phone always connect to 2G, so when I am in a poor signal area, I have to put 3G Only.
I don't want a toggle. I just want to change the network preferences. My phone run XtreSoLite and Xposed is installed.
Thanks guys

OH that's strange, I'm on Tyrannus rom 28.1 and have the option for lte only. Maybe just the rom or your network provider.

Oh I'm sorry you didn't understand.
I don't want LTE Only. I want a network preference that is "3G and LTE". Not just 3G only or 4G/LTE only.
Thanks

Ah right, tbf I don't think I've seen this option on any phone I've owned.
Reason being if you go into a 2g area and you only have 3g/4g then your phone will not pick up a signal

I agree with that but in my city. All the areas are at least cover by 3G connection so I can afford it.
It's juste that my S6 always connect to 2G while they are 3G connection, because when I select "3G only", it works.
My post is there just to ask if anyone know about a tweak that can select only 3G and 4G.
Thanks guys

Because in Chile, while not using the 4G.
Currently this only works on 3G
The long and short of it: The G2X has a bug in the stock ROM that does NOT display 3G at all. So when it's showing 4G, its actually running either 3G or 4G. There is no icon for 3G at all.
I could be wrong and 3G could be tied to the 2G icon, but I've seen 3G speeds far more often when the phone is displaying 4G than I have when its displaying 2G. No one has been able to verify this for me. Obviously if chile doesn't have a 4G Market there is no way to "force" 4G speeds.

On the stock G2x I do not believe you will ever see the 3G symbol. Tmobile 4G signal is just a very fast 3G. They call it 4G. You will only see 2G or 4G on the taskbar.

It's OK, don't worry. Just use it

In network mode, there is only GSM and WCDMA.
The only that works is GMS.
when I use the data plan I get the icon 2G.
I think that actually is 2G, as the navigation goes very slow.
I never appeared on 4G, you can change the ROM?
thanks
The phone displays 3g as 4g. Why I don't know, maybe T-Mobile wanted everyone to think they were getting 4g all over the place when actually they weren't, but it DOES support 3g. Your phone will SAY it's running 4g, but it probably won't be. Run a speed test if you want to see for yourself.

So, let me see if I am reading this correctly. When in Chile, you can only connect to GSM which makes sense. So you never see the 4G symbol? You only see the 2G symbol?
If this is the case, have you done a speedtest to see what kind of data speeds you are really getting?

Only works on 2G Chile.
The network operator ENTEL works with 1900, some pages say that the cell blocks this signal with other operators.
When I enter somewhere to watch tv online, I get that I need a 3G or WIFI connection
hello,
i hope i put this in the correct forum area.
i have t-mobile as a carrier. i bought two new samsung galaxy ace phones. ace plus and an ace 2. both are the latin models, not the euro models, and have the 850/1900 3g freq, but when i use my tmobile sim, both phones are running on EDGE speed and not 3g. anybody know why and how to get them to run on the 3g, tmobile was a waste of time asking them, no help
thanks
U should enable it in settings>mobile networks. U can either put it on 3G, 2G, OR automatic (for the network to chose which is best)

you would think so, but in that area the only options are
network mode....
gsm/wcdma ( auto mode) which is selected
gsm only
wcdma only
and "network operator" , which i search, tmobile comes up and is selected
still on edge speed, i do not see anywhere to select 2g or 3g
any ideas???

Ya. That's it. GSM is 2g and wcdma is 3g. That's wat Samsung decided to call them as.! What have u selected among them?

Hi
I have a sony Z(lte version). My network is very slow on hspda and I don't want to use lte(4g).
So only option is hspa+ which has good speed.
The problem is everywhere in network related options you can set wcdma only. not hspa+. Wcdma is for both hspda and hspa+.
I've seen many threads about wcdma/lte switching and know about *#*#4636#*#* menu. But in that menu, there's no way to seperate hspda from hspa+.
Is there any way to use hspa+ only? A way to disable hspda would be good too.
Thank you for reading my question.

I think that when you enable the wcdma option, (which is what I do very frequently too) the phone tries to use the best, between hspa and hspda, so if it doesn't use it, it's probably not the phone's problem, since I get to use h+ whenever I use the wcdma only option...
This is what I think that happens, I am not sure whether this is the truth ot not, so another opinion would be usefull.
Why do you not want to use LTE?
Well it might not be available + using lte drains a lot of battery...

as moki said, it's not an option in my home because of poor network quality.also drains battery too fast to use regularly.

I thought like this before. but I saw sometimes in worst conditions of network, it prefers h+. So I think its just a way to save battery and if I don't want it, I can disable it somehow...
its network dependent.. you cant force it.. its still 3g anyway.
Please someone answer.
There are two features on my phone, I want ine of them removed, and this is not possible?!
I can't believe this is true in an android phone.
*sigh*

Choose WCDMA only. This is a 3G only option too.

Thanks, choosing WCDMA locks it into 4G. I don't know if the phone doesn't show the 3G signal Icon on top
If u are in USA it shows 4G instead of 3G or H+. If u have LTE then it shows 4Glte. It's just the icons.
Hello, my problem is the phone prefers 3g over 4g even if there is excellent 4g coverage. Looks like the phone gets stuck on 3g after leaving 4g area and never tries to change network unless I put it in airplane mode for a sec. I have 4g set as preferred in network settings but this doesn't work at all, only solution is to set lte only in hidden menu, but that obviously causes other issues. Is there a fix?

It sounds like a problem with your provider. What is it?

Not sure about it being a problem with the provider though, all my previous phones were fine (htc one, 6p, S8) and I haven't replaced my sim card since then.
Open phone app, dial *#*#4636#*#*, go to phone information, in preferred network type, select LTE only.

This is what I did which is in the first post, but then if there's no lte I'm kinda screwed..
Same here (Play). I think it's the operator's fault.
