I keep seeing in reviews that they get much better battery life in hspa+ mode and when they turn on lte battery suffers etc
So can we turn off lte??

Yes, you can.
Here's from Sean's SKYICS.
It's on Page # 3, Look for APNs just do *#2263# choose WCDMA instead of LTE, , I just tried mine and voila, :victory:

Doesn't work. Brings up an option that says "RAT Selection Option is restricted" I can't select anything or make any changes (it also doesn't give an option for Cellular type" looks like AT&T locked it down again.)

It doesn't work and even if it works upon reboot you will have LTE again

Did you take the SIM card out before you do that ? It won't work with the SIM in.

It should stay here's how.
With the SIM card remove Dial *#2263# select WCDMA, select All, then bottom left haptic button select end and reboot with the SIM card in
I mean don't do the next step (Open dialer again.Dial *#2263# select automatic)
maybe this could be a project for the devs that allow us to simply enable and disable using radio buttons or something.
anyone know if it's possible?

Yes it is possible but we'll have to be patient.
Does it drain battery even if you are not in an LTE supplied area?

1.Click on Menu button and go to Settings.
2. Go to "More....", once in, click on "Mobile Networks"
3. Go to "Access Point Names"
4. Once in you will see "AT&T PTA" with a radial button as your only option. This is the default gateway.
5. Click on Menu button below, and you will have two choices, "New APN" or "Reset to default" click on New APN.
You will see a series of lines under "Edit Access Point" and click on "APN" and enter as follows "wap.cingular"
If you like you can rename the "Name" to whatever you like...I used "AT&T HSPA+"
Click "Save"
This will give you access to HSPA+ network only. I found this info online for the Galaxy SIII with ICS coming stock. This is an ICS only option I believe, I don't recall cause I dumped the Gingerbread 2.3.6 cause it was burning up batteries like crazy.
Please be advised I have the Galaxy SII Skyrocket, they are building the LTE network in my area as we speak and I was getting all sorts of interference from their testing and upgrades so until its complete I'm running HSPA+ only and the problems went away.
Hope this helps!

That might work. But it will not turn off the LTE radio, the phone will still have LTE on but will connect to the slower internet. LTE remains on=battery drain is on.

This may be really stupid, but I see that the phone is set to GSM/CDMA auto (PRL).
Does this mean that this thing may work with say Sprint's CDMA network, if I plug in a Sprint SIM?
I read somewhere that the radio supports both GSM and CDMA (although it doesn't mean it has an antenna for both).
I don't think so that chip is 'dual'.
(and there is no list for this options)

Hm, when I enter the service menu as posted above, I get a whole bunch of options, some say CDMA Only, some GSM only. Mine is set at GSM/CDMA auto (PRL).
For a brief description of the menus, see this:

Anyway, it would be too good to be true

This specific menu does not work with this phone.
ok guys... I found this in another device forum related to wp7. I just got this LG Quantum yesterday so I'm learning as I go along.
I used the code ##3282# and hit dial.
This brought up some field test menu.
Don't choose anything from the menu, instead at the bottom hit the "..." and choose settings.
Then choose "Network Type", 2G. Its showing Edge for me now.
If you go back to the menu, it again shows "Automatic" but the setting seems to stick.
Report back to this thread if you see different results.
Still need to figure out:
- Persistent Wifi
- Peak / off Peak settings for Corporate Email.

Nicely done. I'm on a 2G network too. Good find!
The settings stick for you? Huh.. Every time I try that no matter what I pick, auto, 2g or 3g nothing happens..
Work perfectly thanks
Works for me too, thx for it.
The only thing is, it will be reset all the time. I don't really know why. No need to restart, it is reset to default "only 3G" without doing something.
Someone who knows why?
Regards.
Hello ! What about adding this option to our phone? Thanks!
it is already possible even in stock condition
1) go to your dialer and dial *#*#4636#*#*
2) hidden menu will appear, tap Phone information
3) scroll the page down and look for preferred network type:
4) select wcdma only and you will have 3g only

Its good , but having this option in main menu is better , isn't it? I think if this option present in hidden menu , we may add it ti main?
Not sure how you can add it to the main menu.
But u can simplifies the above steps by using Anycut to create a shortcut to "Phone Info" so that the "3g only" setting is only 2 taps away from home screen
good luck
l *#*#4630#*#* didnt work for me
i got it to work its *#*#4636#*#*
Thanks for the correction, had a typo

Last I had read, AT&T won't be supporting VoLTE (voice over LTE) for quite a while (another year at least). T-mobile has some variant of it, and I think Sprint delayed theirs but will have it soon. Verizon is also far out, but not as far as AT&T's

Why is my S4 SGH-I337 can not enter * # 0011 # to enter the setup menu?
When the input is "1"
The phone does not reflect
MK2 firmware
I found a video that got to the WB-AMR setting using some more funky "Key Input" of "Q" then "0000" to get to the UMTS menu.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uT48bsq0sG0
But unfortunately, when you tap on the "Audio" settings, nothing happens!
Darn, so close...
I wonder if a SIM unlocked phone will enable the "AUDIO" setting?
Hi everyone,
Obviously, I know where to find the setting that allows you to switch between LTE/GSM/WCDMA to, say, just WCDMA. But is there a tool that would allow me to switch that mode from a widget or quick setting tile? My commute features varying degrees of network congestion on LTE, so I like to switch back and forth. I'd just like for that process to be something I could do more quickly.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
I don't think so as far as I know. Best option I've found is keep the code in a text file and copy paste into the dialer and change from there.
