Is there a app that lets you change the network from LTE to 3g?

Like wise is there an App that lets you pick what radio's to use? Coming from my old Thunderbolt running CM there was the ability to pick Global, Global + LTE, LTE, CDMA/LTE, CDMA, etc. Sometimes i need to force my phone into LTE mode only when I'm on the very edge of coverage to get it.
ill bump as well...

I've tried a bunch but none of them can access the radio settings - they all error out. Hopefully someone has found one that works...

Is there a way to force the phone to go LTE only no 3G? I dont see an option for it in the settings. I live in a 4G area and with my thunderbolt it ALWAYS was 4G but my M bounces back and forth, but if I put it in Airplane mode and then take it out it will connect to 4G.

go setting and add 4G to the notification bar, there you can choose the one you prefer.
You can do it without the app....open your dialer type*#*#info#*#*
A menu should come up choose phone options, there you will find the radio options. You can pick lte only.

Well both those get to the right spot, but there is no selection for what I am trying to accomplish. On LTE only it won't make calls or send texts. I assume bc LTE is only data. What I want to eliminate is 3G while having voice service forcing the phone to only connect to LTE for data. Is that even possible?
I think if you go to the phone testing menu(*#*#info#*#* in dialer)you should be able to select lte/CDMA only.

That would work if "LTE/CDMA" was an option. the options are LTE/CDMA/EvDo LTE/GSM/WCDMA LTE/CDMA/EvDo/GSM/WCDM LTE only and LTE/WCDMA,
Sorry I see that now. I was trying to help you off my memory. Should have done my own research. It seems that should be an option to choose. There has to be a way, we will have to find it

info about my phone:
baseband: .33 right now
ROM: this one at the moment.
also tried this one, this one, and this one
also, its the new white nexus
what I've done so far:
I've tried this on the .33 baseband.
I then found these two zips (1 and 2) to help automate the process a bit, and use those to try baseband .24 and .27 with no change.
then I tried the instructions on this site
and finally, I am now on this rom I mentioned above, which is supposed to have everything done already...
I Know for a fact my area has LTE, as my roommate gets 4G on his S3 every day.
does anyone see anything I might be doing wrong?
Is your roommate using LTE with T-Mobile?
Nexus 4 only supports LTE band 4.

are you sure that your roommate has an lte enabled sgs3? the tmo lte enabled sgs3 only went on sale on june 5th.

did you update the APN to fast.t-mobile.com? I can't tell in specific so ill just give you a quick run down.
On multiple devices i've done:
1) flash broadband
2) clear caches/factor reset
3) flash AOKP (or CM 10.1)/GAPPS and clear caches
4) flash franco kernel (not necessary but i prefer it) and clear caches.
5) update APNs
6) change to LTE/GSM in phone info settings.

I have done all of this. I have the T-Mobile lte APN with IPv4/IPv6. I have also tried just IPv4 or IPv6.
O have also tried creating a new APN with the correct settings
Edit: the settings in the *#*#INFO#*#* menu is LTE/GSM auto (PRL)

Hi. I have the LG-D802 variant of this phone that I bought a couple of days ago. I have a few questions
1. Is this LTE capable? If so, how do I activate LTE? Can't find it in the mobile data settings.
2. Is this equipped with the capability to do wireless charging?
Thanks!
Sent from my LG-D802 using Tapatalk 4
1.Not sure, but try search at hidden menu
3845#*802# - LTE only - Mode selection
2.Verizon only
Thanks. Apparently, this variant is set to automatically get LTE signals when available. Was wondering coz my wife's iPhone had a switch inside settings that allowed her to toggle her LTE on and off. It's my first time to use an LTE capable phone.
The wireless charging only being made available to the Verizon variant sucks.

did you get LTE on your G2 ?
So I have a Galaxy S4 Sgh-i337m (Canadian version) that have a custom recovery(clockwork touch 6) and is rooted. On that phone I have cyanogenmod 10.2 and I've been trying to get an LTE speed without success. I've seen the posts that tell me to change my apn but it haven't work. Currently when I switch data on I either get 4G or H+. I made speed test and the maximum I got is 10MBPS normally it should be around 30 to 75MBPS. So can someone help me get LTE speeds here's a photo of my current APN?
Could be a bunch of issues. Is the network mode set correct? I have noticed at times it is set to 4G to save battery. I have had times after flashing a ROM not connecting to the lte towers until after making a call. Another fix is resetting to default in apn.

Unless they've added an LTE symbol...on CyanogenMod 4G means LTE.
On touchwiz when it displays 4G its pretty much H+, Samsung just likes to make it look better
However you are right...your speed tests aren't lte speeds

Yes I do have an LTE sim card and I'm with Rogers but I bought my phone from bell. When I was on touchwiz I had LTE at at least 25mbps

When you see 4G on the status bar go to settings >about device>status. Network type should say umts% for 3g, hspda% for hspa+ or lte% for LTE (The % represents a frequency). Then you'll know for sure.

Yes it means that you have lte. The reason why your dl speed is so slow could be your reception or it could be your on wifi

Like the topic says, I installed the following:
[AOSPA 4.4.2 KVT49L] PARANOIDANDROID 4.0+ G2 [beta6]
And latest Gapps.
Phone works fine, but with my T Mo sim installed the best I can get is HSPA+. I am in an LTE area btw, my T Mob HTC One gets the signal just fine.
One other abnormality, the baseband version in the settings shows: "unknown" but the phone does still work
Lte bands arent the same for vz and tmo

Thats not what I've read on multiple occasions. The device does have 3 (i think) LTE bands (2 of which T mobile uses). Now I might just not be in an area where those bands the device already has are used, this I don't know.
Best I have been able to get is H+
As far as i know, tmobile only uses one band for LTE which is one of the 2 bands that att use... but verizon is on a totally different one...

Right, however regardless of if I'm in an LTE area at my house or not, the phone should still show info for things like: Phone number (currently unknown).
This is the video that explains the process of turning a Vz G2 into a T_Mo LTE capable phone:

Ok. I know here claro pr can show unknown and it still works. Iveeven seen phones with unknown or blank imei and it still works with them...
