[Q] Nexus 7 3g - Set network type to WCDMA only

Hey Guys!
Is there a way to set the network type in our Nexus 7 3g device? I remember being able to do this in my phone (N7000) by dialing *#*#4636#*#*.
However, using various dialers to issue this code doesn't show the phone settings menu.
BTW. I'm using vanilla android, and prefer to do so for a longer time. So if the only solution is to root please let me know.
Thanks in advance!

Bumping this threat. Any help please?

You may wanna try installing the ICS Dialer from Playstore.

Access Hidden Menu
I tried installing several dialers, and I always get the message "GSM options are not available on on this device...etc.". After hours of searching, I was able to find Hidden Menus, you can find it on the Play Store https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.freespirit.hms&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsIm9yZy5mcmVlc3Bpcml0LmhtcyJd. Now I'm able to set my Nexus 7 3G to WCDMA only (it's set to WCDMA preferred by default).
Edit: It goes back to WCDMA preferred after reboot. Anyone knows a better alternative or maybe a mod we can flash from recovery?
Thanks

Not sure if this will help 100%, but I am sure i can't hurt.
Since you're rooted you can go ahead and install this by flashing the zip in recovery.
After you have booted back up, open the new incall modz control app.
Then hit the three lines on the top left to open the control menu options.
Scroll down and click the advanced hidden menu section.
This section opens up several hidden menus.
You can look through and see what may give you the options you're looking for.
I suggest using the "apn unlocking" to give you access to edit the apn setting.
You can also play around in the "phone testing menu" section and look within the field test secrion to force LTE.
I must say BE CAREFUL because you could change a setting that may require a restore/reinstall of your rom!.
I have played with a lot of settings and never done any real damage, seems like it would just close the app of the option wasn't compatible with my phone.
The hidden menus are also accessible via a dialer code (which varies per device variant and there are playstore apps as well, don't remembwr the names.
I only suggest the mod, because it is part of ny oZoP project and it will give you lots of customizations for the caller id, plus the advanced hidden menu that i beleive you could use. Like i said though, there are other options and the choice is yours.
Good luck

Well it looks like I don't need to answer the first question, but I will just mention for other users, the mod has been tested and confirmed working on every "stock" based rom without issue.
As far as the menu options not showing, it looks to me if the setup you are running has had the files needed for the options debloated or possibly that variant doesn't include them by default.
I have attatched a flashable zip of the files needed, but I DO RECOMMEND MAKING A FULL BACKUP just in case.
After you get your backup finished just flash the zip in recovery and proceed back to the app for the extra options.
Good luck again and let me know how that goes. Your feedback is valuable to me so I can ensure that everyone gets the same experiance as I intended

Sprint Calling Plus update for Unlocked S8 (SM-G950U1)

Hi All,
I recently bought Unlocked Galaxy S8 SM-G950U1 and activated on Sprint, after the activation, the phone downloaded some software and rebooted, it does have WiFi calling enabled, but when I call using Wifi and I walk out of WiFi range it doesn't switch to carrier and disconnect. Also when i am not on WiFi, it uses carrier network, but the internet is not available. I googled and find there is new feature called "Calling Plus" from sprint for Galaxy S8, but I don't find it on my phone. Can someone please guide me on how to download it? If this update is not available for unlocked version of S8, can someone point me to a ROM which provide these features?
Thanks in advance.

Sounds like "Calling Plus" is their name for VoLTE (voice over LTE). I'm not familiar with Sprint but generally this is enabled in an IMS settings app or menu.
If you download a shortcut cut app, do you see an app called IMS Settings that can be launched?

I use Shortcut Master (lite). With its menu you would choose App Explorer and see if you have IMS Settings app. If you do, that is probably what you need to launch, and basically just enable everything within it.

ok I did some digging and Sprint says this on their website:
Is Calling PLUS the same as VoLTE (Voice over LTE)?
No, the current Calling PLUS solution provides VoIP capabilities using the Sprint LTE network. Sprint is on a path toward having an all IP-based network capable of supporting VoLTE. We have not announced a timeframe for commercial deployment of VoLTE. Today we offer HD Voice on a very efficient CDMA1x platform and our voice network is ranked #2 nationwide by independent mobile analytics firm RootMetrics. We will transition customers to VoLTE when we are confident we can match the great voice experience provided today.

I am thinking this is the same with T-Mobile Wifi Calling where you have to have some underlying apps/framework to have the feature available
Since you are on the stock unlocked firmware, this is probably absent.
The latest Sprint firmware I see on Sammobile is this one from December 2017
If you are not yet rooted you can just flash that with Odin, and use the CSC app (launched via Shortcut Master Lite) to switch the phone's CSC to SPR, though this will wipe the internal storage.
If you are rooted, you would need to find a ROM that is made from/for Sprint I believe.

Sorry for late reply, so right now best solution will wipe my internal storage... thanks for replying... If I have to wipe storage, I would rather root and get some nice rom.

Guys, I found a way to make VoLTE calling work on my unlocked s8 plus.
1. In Nova launcher add widget -> Activities
2. Add LTE Test -> click VoLTE Test UI-> turn on first 2 setting.
3. Add Enhanced LTE Services and select this option.
4. Restart and enjoy.

HOLY S***~!!! It worked~!! You're the MAN~!!!! :good::good::good::good::good::good:
I tested it out on my 955U1 Unlocked GS8+ on the latest Beta 7 Oreo software.

I am glad it worked. I was literally jumping at my cube when it worked too ?.

to sharmajay: tried to use your trick. Was able to find #1 and #2. But on #3 it only shows blank screen, no check boxes, nothing, blank screen.
I'm on AT&T network running 7.0.

So this worked for me on Oreo beta 7 on my unlocked G955U1 but not after downgrading to Nougat stable ROM.
Anyone managed to get this work on Nougat?

[Guide] Activate Native Video Calling (over LTE), RCS & other features

Quick Note before you start this - If you are on stable one UI 3.x / Android 11 or greater, see the bottom of the post to see the workaround. Thanks to @knuschit
Introduction - If you have ever bought a device that comes locked with the carrier you will see there are some carrier baked features missing in unlocked devices. While putting in your sim will change CSC of your device you might still not get all the features. So far i fail to understand why would device makers and Carriers make it so difficult for users. I have scourged through so many forums and found info like these where a t-mobile rep responds saying there is no way those features can be added to non carrier branded device ( Either a blatant lie or the reps are ill informed or both).
My Device - Unlocked SM-N986U1 with tmobile sim - CSC - TMB/TMB/XAA
Problem Statement- I want Video calling over LTE and RCS features.
Solution - Follow the steps carefully and also see the attached screenshots -
There are other ways of doing this by creating shortcut to ims service settings but i am posting something that most users can easily do.
Quick Pre-Check - Before starting if you have been using RCS on Google Messages you might want to de-register. Follow the process here: https://messages.google.com/disable-chat.
You can always activate it in case you want to go back to RCS on google messages.
This will only work if you are on Android 10, or the Beta version of Android 11. Samsung has blocked this on Stable Android 11.
STEPS​1. Download and install Phone app (By google)
2. Open the phone App that you just downloaded and make it your default Phone app.
3. Dial *#*#467#*#*
4. You will see the settings as in my Screenshot 1
5. Tap on IMS Service Switch (The first Option)
In case you cant see the screenshot - Just tap on the first option IMS service Switch, Then make sure MMTEL Switch and RCS Switch is toggled on.
If you see below RCS Switch there is a section titled MMTEL
Sub-options of MMTEL are
VoLTE
VoLTE-Video
VoLTE-Call-Composer
SMS over IP
Supplementary Services
Called Dial Third Party Number
JUST TURN ALL THESE TOGGLES ON
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
6. See the Screenshot 2 and move all the switches to ON.
7. Go back to main page and then go to RCS Configuration settings and make sure they are selected to be always on as in Screenshot 3.
8. I changed back to default phone app after this.
9. And done you should have the video calling over LTE to fellow T-Mobile users activated now.
I have already made a few calls and tested it and can confirm that this works. This might work for Sprint too.
NOTE THAT - Default video call on contacts is still duo. you have to make a regular voice call to a contact first then you will see the native video call icon.
These settings wont stick after OS/Firmware update via Odin, OTA or Sideload and steps would need to be repeated.​
Edit Update -You can See all three screenshots together here.
Let us know how it goes here and if you explored any more settings and i will update this post with due credit.
WORKAROUND: SINCE THE ABOVE METHOD IS NOT WORKING ON ONE UI 3.X / Android 11​The conventional method doesnt work on Android 11 so use the method below:
1. Install Alliance Shield X >> Create account and Give necessary permissions
2. Open Alliance Shield X settings and toggle New App Manager Layout On
3. Look at this post and follow
4. See the Screenshot 2 and move all the switches to ON.
5. Go back to main page and then go to RCS Configuration settings and make sure they are selected to be always on as in Screenshot 3.
I can confirm this works.
ADDITIONAL CONFIRMED INFO FROM USERS / TROUBLESHOOTING​
Try the following step in case you had RCS activated on Google Messages and doing the above steps does not get you RCS in the Native SMS App. Thanks @Compusmurf

The default on contacts will still show duo. Make a regular voice call and then you will see the native video call icon wait i will show you as you can SEE HERE
As soon as the person answers the option to toggle to video is activated in the first row center icon. Let me know if that is the same for you and works.
It used to be a call hold icon earlier before we toggled the IMS settings.

I have a U.S t-mobile branded phone (AT15 ; Sep security patch)and use the Samsung stock messaging app. I have been hoping for RCS to be enabled but that hasn't happened yet. I know google messaging has this feature but I prefer to stick with my current stock samsung messaging app. Will following your method help me in activating RCS? Thanks!

Yes it will and i can confirm i checked and it is working. I see when my friend with RCS activated is typing. So typing indicators are working a big sign that RCS is working.
To verify before you do any of the above steps open your default Samsung SMS app and go to settings by clicking on 3 dots on top right, do you see an option called 'Chat Settings' if not, once you have gone through the suggested steps above you will see chat settings activated meaning RCS working.

Also, might add. IF you were previously using Google messages, then you do this, you probably will have to UNREGISTER from Google Messages for Samsung Messages to pick up RCS.....

Thanks for confirming.

I did all this a week or 2 back to mine and my granddaughters phones.
I didn't do any kind of writeup because this info has been out there in the wild, just not overly shared because there are other options in that menu that can wreck your phone experience.
Glad someone did.
(Note to folks, don't go randomly changing things here if you don't know what they are and haven't been validated by others)
Since you did so good here, you should write a document for folks how to "update" using FRIJA and ODIN for folks with U1 devices. Maybe that'll cut down on the folks that complain that they can't get Month X security update because Carrier Y is slow.
I know how, but writing a document step by step isn't the same and I'm very bad at documentation.

Any way to lock lte bands in Nothing Phone 1 without rooting. How can we access engineer mode using code.

It looks like the option is not working with latest update 1.1.3. Also they have disabled accessing Engineer Mode from the Activity Launcher.

Lets hope they are also working on a fix in the process of disabling access to Engineering mode.
