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
Just edit /data/property/persist.radio.lteon and change it to true (and reboot).

Mine already says true, but it doesn't show the option on the menu. Any idea?
BTW I am running the BTU-N9005XXUDMK2 rom.
No one?

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).

Hey There,
I'm about to write an app for android 2.3 which should be able to disable the Mobile network.
I found a solution which works on 2.2, but it uses the permission "android.permission.MODIFY_PHONE_STATE" which isn't available anymore on 2.3.
So is there another possibility to change this setting?
thx for answers and greez Visosilver
maybe this would help ?
http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-feature-element.html
Hmmm, i tried
<uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.telephony" android:required="false" />, but it always says that the MODIFY_PHONE_STATE permission is missing...
I would like to know this aswell, for my Galaxy tab. I flashed overcome and didn't flash my T-Mobile modem and it says I'm not connected to any network in anyway but am still getting the cell standby eating battery. And even with airplane mode it still shows up.

Pitbull -- > Add this to the Tweak guide
To disable the GSM Radio -
Bring up your dialer program,
enter *#*#4636#*#*
Select Device Information,
Scroll to bottom
Tap the "Turn Off Radio"
This will disable all Cell / GSM / EDGE connections -- Should only be used for those who do not subscribe to a data / cell package.

thx for your responses, but the point is, that i must disable the connection programmatically...
Did you use ITelephony.setRadio(boolean turnOn)?
can anyone help? Im currently running android 2.3.4 (CyanogenMod7.1) in dual boot.
I need to know how to access the gsm/umts band settings. I regularly get a 3g/H on my status bar when at home using windows 6.5 but struggle to get anything beter than 'edge' using android. are these settings available on this mod? if so can someone point them out to me please. If not is there an android build available that has this option?
many thanks
they're available, go to wireless and networks -> mobile network ( or something like that) and you'll see an option for 2g/3g

Are you looking for the way to reset your phone for GSM, CDMA coverage? Here is the link to a post to do that: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9295533&postcount=2

When i was on Typhoon's CM7, i had the option.

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 think the Dropbox link doesn't work for me because the full link is not showing, i.e. there is a ... in the middle of the url.
I just tried the google link and it's asking for permission to access this from you.

Thanks.
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.

Absolutely fantastic!
THANK YOU VERY MUCH vpwrf
I had to root my phone, but this (free) app does exactly what I need...I wish you'd seen this thread 4 months ago when I first asked the question!!
i9505 2g mode
Thank you so much,
You solved my 2g mode selection, the way maybe short long.
But it works fine.
I don't have that option available on settings.
I have automatic 2G/3G/4G, automatic 2G/3G and 3G only.
Thanks.
Press *#*#4636#*#* in your dialer, go to phone information and change it from there if you can't change it in settings.

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?
Try this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=myc.phone.PhoneInfo It does the same thing as the code.
That?

How did you do that? How can I enable that option?
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.

I'm able to enter the menu now.
Where exactly is the option to enable 2G only?
There's a lot of options.
Have you tried using the intelli3g xposed module?

I found a way, but cell signal isn't great still.
I read that the antenna is located on the bottom right side of the phone and it's like the antennagate of the iPhone 4. I think they're right.
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

I'd suggest you go on the deluxe Rom forum and ask there. People who use it might be able to help. In all the roms i tried there is always an option to switch.

it's not a specific question for the Rom. I thought there may be a way to do it in buildprop.
I can chose only 2g, only 3g, and switch automatically 2g/3g/4g. That's standard. What I need is only 4g.

I'm on Deluxe at the moment, and clearly have the option to limit to only LTE...
Settings > Connections > Mobile Networks > Network mode > LTE only
If you don't see it perhaps it's a CSC issue; I'm using BTU.

This cannot be edited in buildprop. It's the dev who can put it in the rom. I'm on blackdiamond v3 and it has a LTE only mode.
