I'd like to turn off LTE on my VS980 (to just use 3G), but apparently Verizon has removed the ability to do so and none of the apps out there can open the necessary settings window. My question is, if I put CM 10.2 on there, will I now have the ability to turn off 4G and save battery power?

On the ATT i337 I have been able to use the following command:
*#27663368378#
on TW roms to allow band eg LTE or 3g to be manually selected.
Anyone any idea idea how to do the same thing on Google Edition roms?
I prefer stock but would have to go back to TW if not...
Yeah, you call google.
You know they have another program they released also called Google search I think.....USE it.
Not helpful. This question has been posed by other users
ok, I apologize..
I added additional att apn settings, LTE/WCDMA/GSM, and it gave me LTE, is that what you are looking for?
If you are wanting to switch to 3g that feature from what I saw is not available. 2g only.
I'm looking to keep the device on 3g only I'm in a good 2g and poor 3g (but much faster area) and it keeps switching down to 2g.on the touch wiz s4 I can manually keep it on 3g using the command in the original post
Hi everyone,
I've got the AT&T LG-G2 with 4.4.2, Xposed, Gravity Box, and G2 Tweaks Box.
I've looked through the forums and must simply be missing it; I can't imagine no one has asked the following:
Other day I was in a part of town with 3-4 bars, but no data connection of any kind. A friend gave me this dial code but it only forced 4G for a few minutes before going back to LTE.
Using XPosed or another app/hack, is there a way to force radio reception? My bootloader AFAIK is unlockable.
Also, any Android devs know what intent/intent-filters I could make own app/service to achieve this functionality to turn on automatically?
Hi,
I am using a fairly stock ROM on my S5 that has been rooted and debloated. The phone was Verizon branded, but I am using it on T-Mobile. I like 4.4.4 as my system, and have safestrap installed.
In order to get full band functionality I had to enter service mode and select LTE/GSM/WCDMA instead of CDMA preferred.
I also edited the build.prop to ensure LTE preferred and GSM mode enabled after reboots.
My problem is that if I enable Power Saving on the phone and it goes to sleep after a minute the network completely drops and I cannot reconnect to T-Mobile network. Additionally the phone seems to reset itself to CDMA preferred.
I have to turn off the phone for a few minutes then boot and now my network is restored.
The easy answer is that simply never use power saving - and why bother when I get great battery life anyway.
However - it begs the question - why would power saving kill network carrier connection? Is the antenna powered down?
If so - where else do I need to modify settings to stop the phone from returning to CDMA?
Lastly - why is it so difficult to configure a new phone like the S5 to jump carriers ? the phone is global in its band support and fully capable - but carrier branding renders this useless. Shouldn't custom ROMs be more universal in their nature and exclude carrier locks- or at least enable menus for users to select the carrier they prefer to use?
Hi. On my gm-g900i (australian) s5 i have the latest XtreStoLite installed with the correct bootloader & modem.
For some reason at all times it shows 4g in the status bar, even when i am not in an app that requires internet. It will only drop to 3g when i am in a poor signal area.
Why does this not dynamically change based on apps used, as it did in kit kat? Have i done something wrong? I am after the power saving of 3g for background data, then 4g when using an app like facebook, chrome etc. This was automatic before?
thanks in advance.
If you're in a 4G enabled area, it'll connect to 4G
If you don't want it to, disable mobile data
Hi, I recently obtained an S4 and I was wondering if there was a rom that disabled the CDMA and calling capabilities of the phone. Since its not connected to a plan, i would like a wifi only rom in order to maximize battery life if there is one available. If not, could I edit the Build.prop in order to disable that or something? thank you
Why not just put the phone in airplane mode but turn on WiFi?
