This all may be very old info because I didn't look much into it, but yesterday I stopped being able to use mobile data on my phone. After doing a little research I saw that changing my APN could fix the problem. And boy, did it ever! Doing this made my network speeds go from 7Mbps to 13Mbps! ping time also improved from ~200ms to ~100ms.
Stock it uses the cingular 410 APN. I saw one on another thread that someone just called "phone". Name is phone, APN is called phone, MNC is 410 and MCC is 310. Everything else is just left to "not set".
I hope this isn't just a repost.
I am not sure what i need to do....

Go to settings-more settings-mobile network-access point names and then hit the menu button to add a new apn. Then just enter the info in the previuos post.
I hope this works out for others like it did for me.
Can you take a screen shot?

Of the speed tests or something else?

I had my doubts but was bored and decided to give it a go.
Putting in the "phone" apn did boost me about 3000kbps on the download and cut my ping in half. Just to make sure it was not a fluke, I switched back to cigular and tested and then back to phone again and sure enough the improvement was present.

From what ive heard your supposed to tap your build number in about tablet 7 times and it should give you developer settings. Thats from what ive heard also so i could be wrong.

Hi, I'm using Captivate and just got CM10.1 and was about to post about this problem. Why would like suddenly hide that settings and such a weird way to activate it??
Anyways, thanks for the information.
So normal people who arent tech savy dont get themselves into trouble and flood them with phone calls and rma's.

I have been thinking about re-naming my Nexus 7 ( Bluetooth, Play & PC) but I have really no idea what to name it..
I was hoping I could get some inspiration here
So what did you name your Nexus 7 on:
Play Store
Bluetooth
PC?
Screenshots included to further show what I mean.

I see what you did there
Maybe "Bugatti Veyron" or "NOT iPad mini [bluetooth]".
Things are starting to pop into my head now, but keep them coming!
"Warning: Trojan Detected..." for bluetooth

I live right at the edge of a LTE tower and my phone is constantly switching between 3g and 4g. Is there anyway I can force 4g?
Sent from my SPH-L720 using xda app-developers app
Other than getting closer to the tower not really. You can't just make the Sprint network better from your phone. Try updating your prl and profile while on a solid lte connection. You can try manual prls too but I never use them.

Unless its a option built into a custom ROM there is no way to do it.
Bummer. Thanks for the answers. Its just annoying when I'm watching a YouTube video over 4g and all of a sudden it switches to 3g.

If you are on a ROM that supports the dialer codes you can go into your phone and dial
##3282#
Select "Edit" then input your MSL#
If you need to get your MSL
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2271618&highlight=msl
select Others -> HDR/1X Selection and select "LTE Only Mode"
I am not in a 4G area right now so I don't know if this will work or not but it looks like it should do what you are looking for.
If it doesn't work change it back to LTE+CDMA+EVDO Mode
EDIT: The #3282# dialer code works on stock ROMs and I tried this when I got home from work and it does do what you are looking for although if you move into a non 4G area you will need to go back in and enable CDMA to get service.
Awesome! Thanks I'll definitely try this out tomorrow.

Fast. T-Mobile. Com my data speeds are 1-3mbps normally see 35+ . I called T-Mobile to no avail. I thought GPRS WAS 2G?

I'm pretty sure that as long as the APN settings are correct, it doesn't matter what the actual APN is named. Are you on an unlimited plan and if so do you consume a lot of data each month? They may have slowed you down temporarily if you're in your area's peak hours.
I have same settings but it's LTE, that's the proper setting. Worry not the name

Ok thank you all and I'm on unlimited but have been on WiFi.. I know my note 4 pulls 35+ down but this nexus is barely getting 1mbps.... Customer service tried to say unlocked devices may not receive the same speeds etc

Its rare that a Customer Rep would know the correct answer, you'll get 10 different answers from 10 Rep's!
I changed my apn from default to the Nexus 6 settings....a quick Google search will take you to the T-Mobile support page. Haven't had an issue, except sometimes mms doesn't send, and I'll get duplicate messages especially from my girlfriend's iPhone 6s plus
