My local Vodafone mast/transmitter is faulty on the 3G side, preventing me making/receiving calls, but 2G seems fine when I tried it on an older phone.
There doesn't seem to be an option to put my S4 (GT-i9505) into 2G-only mode....there is an auto 2G/3G option, 3G only option or auto 2G/3G/4G option....nothing else, and naturally, the auto modes put the phone into the (faulty) 3G mode.
Are there any hidden settings that I can change?
Try 4g Toggle in Play Store. In that program you will have an option to change this option.

That simply creates a shortcut to the network options on the phone!
It doesn't do anything else, so what's the point?
Can anyone suggest anything else to help me?
Do you not have a GSM only option in mobile network settings? Is that not anything below 3G?

Weird, my I9505 is through Virgin Mobile but is unlocked, I assumed all variants had the same network modes, excluding LTE/non-LTE.

There is an app to get you into service mode at the below link. Not sure if gsm can be enabled here or not, be very careful with what settings you change here.

I've now got and installed the app, but it looks complicated in terms of what I'm trying to achieve.
I've no idea what Bands to select & what issues it could cause if I muckup.
Is there no easier way, or a "nicer" app I could try?
This is still a major issue for me and no-one seems to be able to point me in the right direction.
I was wondering....if I simply turn off "Mobile Data" in the settings, will that automatically put the phone in GSM (non 3G) mode & let me achieve my aim??
I've just tried doing this...there is now no letter next to the signal bars, but the phone can take a call.

Download Advanced Signal Status. Open it then press Additional Info. Press device information and scroll down then change the preferred network type to GSM only.

Hello devs and modders, this http://samsung-updates.com/details/16850/Galaxy_Note_3_Snapdragon/SM-N9005/ZVV/N9005VJUDMJ6.html rom (ZVV, from Brazil) has an option in the Network mode that I like very much to have, LTE ONLY, so I can tether my notebook for gaming when not in home, I know the side effects of this mode and I know I can access a hidden menu to change to that mode [takes too many steps tough], but I would like to have that menu option on other roms or even better any rom with a mod of any kind.
So can someone help me with that?
Cheers

If that is the case it's possible that the SIM card hasn't been updated, or the network provider isn't transmitting any LTE bands?
In my case, the provider is just starting to test 4G networks and I had to change the property and ask for a newer sim card (not sure if that is the case, but I did read somewhere that it might help).

Tried that but I get a message saying this option/application is not available on this phone.
Is it because my G2 is carrier branded?
Would a unbranded stock rom fix this and let me change it?

I guess it was deleted but still shows up for me since I already have it installed. The developer has 2 more versions, this one seems to be ad supported: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=tw.myc.android.PhoneInfoV2Ad
I guess this option might be available if I flash and try other custom roms or kdz from other regions.

So, uh... for me, after I flashed this ROM, everything works perfectly right off the bat! No settings changes needed, as soon as it booted up for the first time I had network connectivity, data is working, LTE working, calls (incoming and outgoing) working, texts (receiving and sending) all working perfectly, camera working, wifi working... and it's lightning fast, it's like a brand new phone!
EDIT: Actually I spoke too soon... for some reason trying to send a text just says "message not sent", but I can still receive texts fine. Looking into this issue now.

Phone to phone can change depending on the radio installed on the phone. Your SIM card would have little to do with networks used as your SIM card only registers your phone with compatible networks depending on the phone's radios (hardware). So it's more dependent in the phone, not the SIM card.

If I'm not mistaken, a radio can only be subscribed to one network at a time. Not being too familiar with dual SIM card phones (not really all that common in the states) I wouldn't know what capability there is to switch between the network options such as voLTE.
Sent from my LG-H872 using Tapatalk
Volte is voice over lte, au if I cannot get the SIM card I use for calling to work on 4g instead of 3g as it is now, I'll never get Volte.
Just turn on advance calling.

How can I enable Volte toggle under quick settings when you drag down the top bar? I can't find how to enable in the secret menu...
In fulmics rom it is enabled.... how to enable it with secret menu ? thanks!
I have MetroPCS an I have both the wifi calling feature and the volte option as well however if I have either of those enabled I can't receive calls the person gets a busy signal. Also I have the name I'd service from metro but when someone calls it shows some weird symbols instead of the actual name. The symbols are a black diamond with a question mark inside of it. I have called metro and they haven't been able to figure it out and suggestions? I have tried a factory reset and it still does the same thing.
I think VoLTE is inbuilt in your phone. Still if you did like to find out the option then download 4g switcher from play store and it will show you the option to switch between two.

The app you mentioned "4g switcher" does not work on my G6. A prompt message quickly appears after app launching.
on my H870 in South Africa (ZAF) if I run the stock firmware (from my carrier) I have VoLTE by default, but if I flash the Open EU .kdz then no VoLTE on the phone, so its definitely carrier related.
I'm at a place where mobile connections are poor. I used to have an option in the past where I could choose only lte. That worked. In the Rom I use now this is not included. Only switch automatically 2g/3g/4g. Which ends up constantly switching to E. I have to toggle plane mode and it goes back to lte. Is there a way to limit to 4g so that it doesn't switch? Sorry for the bad English

it's not a specific question for the Rom. I thought there may be a way to do it in buildprop.
