I just got a new ATT S4 and have a question about LTE. I know that I am able to get LTE here because if I use the 2263 menu, or phone info app and choose LTE only it works perfect, and very fast. But of course that disable calling, etc. What happens is that its always on HSPA+ instead. Is there a way to prioritize or force it to connect to LTE instead? I know LTE takes more battery, but my HSPA is very slow. Thanks
I should add that if I go into airplane mode, then back to normal I get LTE for a few seconds. Then it goes back to regular 4G.
After installing CM11 nightlies I have to manually set network mode to not use LTE/4G, if it's on automatic and connects to 4G it will go into roaming mode. If I allow data use when "roaming" the speeds are as usual. I have the European SIM model Note 3.
Can anyone help with this?

At work the 4g LTE signal for ATT is very poor in the building, but we have 4g repeaters for ATT to fix this issue. Unfortunately, phones are stubborn and like to stay on 4g LTE despite having 1 bar of signal vs full signal with 4g. I had this same issue on my iphone 5 but was able to easily force off LTE while i was at work and have a steady, reliable data connection. My Note 4 seems to have the same affinity to wanting to be on 1 bar of LTE, but I cannot figure out a way to toggle / force LTE off and just use 4g. Anyone have any ideas? Anyone know of an application I can use to resolve this issue?
Thanks

Unfortunately, there is no option for Network mode on the ATT version. I wonder if this has to do with voLTE....
I did find a backway to the network mode via *#*#4636#*#* but I am unsure of what I should be setting to "disable" lte while I'm in the building at work.
I think I've sorted this out now. If I change LTE/GSM AUTO to WCDMA preferred it seems to immediately switch and hold onto 4G. I do have to change it back. Maybe I will write something so I can quick toggle this since nothing on the app store seems to work.
hi,
If you are rooted ? You can use an xpose module called Intelli3G
I use it on my phone ,works 100% and switches smoothly/fast between eg 4G..3G automatic
eg if my data is of its on 3G as soon as i switch data on /wifi it changes to 4 G
For interest sake ,here is a link to market ,you can read desciption what it does ?

good luck
I use to have an app called telinfo that would allow me to disable lte so I can use 3g only but it no longer works on my note 3. Anyone know of anything that works to disable LTE only or force 3g only?
if you have root, I recall that if you download Advanced Signal Status... Click on additional info, then device information.... Above the turn off button, there is a selection box, select CDMA and you will get 3G only
Boom! Thank you! Been installing apps left and right with no success but that one works.
that works for me too - Thanks
Hi all,
On 11/14 build for Sprint Galaxy S 4.
Is there a way to add a quick toggle for LTE / 4G? The ROM doesn't seem to switch to LTE when I know there is LTE. Generally on other ROMs when this happens, I just toggle LTE off and back on and it locks in the LTE right away. Alternatively, I would go to APNs menu and switch between 3G and 4G APNs.
There's Preferred network type but I generally leave that to LTE.
