epst to work on the sensation 4g

so my last phone was the evo 4g and there was certain things you can do by accessing epst for example by dialing ##3282#
well i wanted to know if there is a way of getting this to work. or if its even possibe.
I have the epst.apk file that i would always use, its from a 2.1 rom.
so far i've tried the temp root then installing root manager and moving the file to system>app>epst.apk and installing it but its not as easy as when the phone is completly rooted.
the attached file is the file i would use with my evo

That's cdma only. Gsm works different. What were you trying to change?

o ok well that makes sense. I really wanted to look at some of the settings, mainly cause the coverage map says i get 3g, but i only get gprs. which is slow like dial-up. but this whole gsm thing is new for me. I've had verizon for years then sprint and thev all been cdma.

You mean apn settings on a gsm phone. Check under settings; wireless and networks; mobile networks; network mode. Check "auto"

Instead of that nonsense you might have better luck locking it on to WCDMA only. It's under that menu or under Mobile Networks

Try: *#*#4636#*#*
Might be what you are looking for.

But, won't this disable the lower level data if you travel outside the 4G area? Sorry, I am new to GSM and don't know the terminology yet...

Yes it will. You'll get no data connection at all if you lock it to WCDMA and are in a non 3G/4G area.

*#*#4636#*#* ... Phones Settings...WCDMA only.

[Q] How to disable LTE??

Hi, in my country we dont have lte yet, so I just use 3G, I would like to disable the 4G. I've tried to look for an option on Mobile Network Settings, but I have no options for doing it. My firmware is 2.3.5
Thanks

use the kj7 rogers modem which is RAT unlocked, then u can dial *#2263#* and select which bands u eant to use, and of course select 3g frequency

I made a network settings shortcut with anything and I just set it to hspa+ when I don't need lte and swap it back to auto mode when in the city.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium

sorry if my questions are dum
The kj7 rogers modem which is RAT unlocked is an app, or where can I get it?
Im am able to see the bands dialing the *#2263#* but I dont know how to disable the lte bands I only see wich bands I can use.

no its not an app its rogers modem u need to flash it in cwm.

There is an app in the market call badass battery monitor that sets it so you can only connect to edge/3G/4G etc try it.

Don't think it will disable LTE, Juice Defender can't do it with the AOSP helper and root.

^^^^^ nothing can actually. the LTE radio is on whether or not u are using it. Someone with radio monitoring equipment confirmed this

setting/wireless and network/mobile networks/network mode - set to HSPA only.

On a Rogers rom, with a Rogers radio. Rogers rom w/ ATT radio doesn't permit HSPA only, it only accepts LTE/HSPA or HSPA/GSM. Also there has been no confirmation that the LTE radio still indeed is off.

What options does the AT&T Skyrocket have out of the box as far as selecting which network you want?
LTE/HSPA?
HSPA only
GSM?

Disable LTE

Is it possible to disable LTE from the settings? I don't feel that LTE is worth the additional battery drain and that HSPA+ is good enough.

Yup. Under mobile settings "Network Mode" 1) LTE 2) 3G 3) 2G.
Im on AT&T

Try the old *#*#4636#*#* - Phone info - scroll down, change the radio to WCDMA Preferred and that'll basically stop LTE connectivity.

Is LTE actually less efficient than HSDPA though? Especially with the new envelope tracking? I'd be curious to know.

It doesn't actually seem to do anything, even if I set it to WCDMA-only. I really need this because I have a 3G plan provisioned on an LTE-capable SIM and the network rejects registration if it is attempted on an LTE band.

some app could disable LTE

I meet the same problem,
the app "nexus 5 field test mode' can disable LTE. But it doesn't work on some roms (like mahdi).

My original problem was fixed with the 4.4.2 update.

Depending on the signal, LTE can be a bit more efficient.

Try checking that your Access Point Names are configured properly in your mobile network settings in your settings.

you might have to have net10 provision LTE On your SIM.

Update: I called the customer service and they told me that my area zip code: 54601 is not covered.. but when I go to AT&T website I see the city is fully covered.. do have to call AT&T to activate it for me?

What changes did you make to your APN to make this happen? It might prove useful to others (I'm on StraightTalk myself).

dial *#*#4636#*#*
go to "phone information"
scroll down and check your preferred network type
if its on WCDMA prefered change it to LTE/GSM and turn on LTE ram dump

What does LTE ram dump do?
Weird, I decided to do some Googling about the matter and I can't find anyone who knows what it does. I suspect that it dumps the contents of the RAM that LTE is using atm. I would leave that off.

You just can't set an apn and get LTE, your account has to specifically be provisioned for it to allow it. With out the provision you're stuck on HSPA

Honestly I don't know either. I tried looking for a post where someone vaguely explains what it does. Couldn't find it. It was a step for enabling LTE on the Nexus 4. Probably best to leave it off like you said.

I contacted the customer support and told me that 4G LTE is enabled on my account .. On AT&T website it says that my city is covered but NET10 representative said my area is not covered

Do you have any other ideas?

D850 AT&T 3G not working?

I cant seem to find network selection menu WCDMA, GSM, LTE etc, neither from the menu nor from the hidden menu 3845*, any solution?

Explain more? What do you mean by 3g not working?
The D850 stock firmware has those options locked out so it's on the default of 2g/3g/LTE.
Make sure your APNs are set correctly. Is the phone on AT&T?

Nope, I'm outside the USA, I had D850 before and never had problem switching networks, but I can't seem to enable WCDMA, its only working on GSM network mode.

If you had a D850 stock you where never able to change that.. If you ran a custom ROM then you could had.
How do you know its only working on gsm network mode? What does data icon look like? Does it show E or 4G? Causd AT&T calls 3G 4G

It shows just E, on my previous D850, it used to show H. Now I got it pre rooted from someone and it had WCDMA option available, but when I selected WCDMA, my network signals disappeared so I flashed official Kitkat using ToT and now back to square one

Well that would only mean that the phone is NOT compatible with 3G in your area/country, Your carrier, OR your APN

Like I said so your 100% sure you had a D850 though? This would rely on your carrier or sim card if the phone was indeed a D850 and worked before.

Yes I'm dead sure man. This is the strangest thing happening first time ever. I just went to hidden menu 3485#*850# and even tried RAT Selection from LTE menu and selected WCDMA or WCDMA/LTE. 3G worked for like 30 secs and then again signals dropped.

I have the same problem.I even tried unlocking all the network bands but it still doesnt work.Did anyone manage to fix this? I currently have 3g but if i turn off my phone, i may not get it again till next week.

If you have a stock rooted ROM, the work around to unlock the network selection menu on AT&T D850 is to edit your build.prop file. Under ro.build.target_operator, you want to change AT&T to OPEN.

I have the same problem, when I put the sim in a different phone 3G works but only shows E when I put it back in my D850. I have tried everything around but nothing. When you put the phone on 3G only the network goes off and can't connect until you switch back to gsm/wcdma auto.
Any help guys.
Thanks

Are you sure your carrier supports the bands of the D850?
