I tried searching but couldn't find this. Is there a way to force LTE only?
I know the S4 had *#2263# and I could do it that way.
I have already enabled service menus and *#0011# works, just in case that's what people are going to suggest.

Hi all
I'm new to LTE and the korean S4 is actually my first ever LTE capable phone I've ever owned.
At first, it was already puzzling that "Automatic" network selection in the SKT hidden menu excludes LTE.
Then to find out that picking "LTE ALL" meant that I could get online at LTE speeds BUT not make and receive calls?
So I did a bit of homework and learned about LTE IMS and LTE CSFB and sort of realised partly what my problem is.
Currently my network does not support IMS so picking "LTE All/only" means I'd have no voice call capabilities at all because it's unable to to use CSFB, because 3G is not connected.
But my real question is, can this be fixed? i.e. with a custom ROM? custom-made hidden menu.apk? phone.apk? or with some direct access ussd code even? (my understanding is- skt hidden menu replaces service mode *#0011#)
I also tried messing around with build.prop and added in "ro.telephony.default_network=8"
and that did squat.
can someone please help?

It's hard to imagine a good reason for doing this. LTE is a power hungry mode and you'd end up with no service when 3G was available but LTE was not. Nevertheless you can set the band preference to LTE in the service mode menu. I don't believe that there is any explicit setting to set LTE exclusively unless you leave your phone in test mode, locked on one channel, which would have substantial drawbacks.
You could look into apps that claim to do what you want. I don't know how effective they might actually be.

LTE / 4G isn't always available so you would actually be without a data connection when it drops out of range, be it for bandwidth restrictions on the network side or simply bad coverage, dropping down to a heightened H+ or even 3G would mean a consistent connection instead of actually just losing your network.
Not a great idea i'm afraid.
Leaving it on a switch is the best method.
Imo it's also a bad idea, but if you really want to, there's an Xposed module. It's only for the G900F though.
At work the 4g LTE signal for ATT is very poor in the building, but we have 4g repeaters for ATT to fix this issue. Unfortunately, phones are stubborn and like to stay on 4g LTE despite having 1 bar of signal vs full signal with 4g. I had this same issue on my iphone 5 but was able to easily force off LTE while i was at work and have a steady, reliable data connection. My Note 4 seems to have the same affinity to wanting to be on 1 bar of LTE, but I cannot figure out a way to toggle / force LTE off and just use 4g. Anyone have any ideas? Anyone know of an application I can use to resolve this issue?
Thanks
try settings...more networks...mobile networks....network mode....It should be in there..I have the sprint model so I don't know for sure...but that is where mine is....hope this helps

Unfortunately, there is no option for Network mode on the ATT version. I wonder if this has to do with voLTE....
I did find a backway to the network mode via *#*#4636#*#* but I am unsure of what I should be setting to "disable" lte while I'm in the building at work.
I think I've sorted this out now. If I change LTE/GSM AUTO to WCDMA preferred it seems to immediately switch and hold onto 4G. I do have to change it back. Maybe I will write something so I can quick toggle this since nothing on the app store seems to work.
hi,
If you are rooted ? You can use an xpose module called Intelli3G
I use it on my phone ,works 100% and switches smoothly/fast between eg 4G..3G automatic
eg if my data is of its on 3G as soon as i switch data on /wifi it changes to 4 G
For interest sake ,here is a link to market ,you can read desciption what it does ?

good luck

I am lost...phone is jumping from networks on its own and sometimes stay on 3g... While lte available... All i need is network setting option

Hello,
I am trying to check how i can have the phone force all bands and not just LTE only. My phone after i unlocked it works great on t-mobile, However, i have to always go back
and change the radio to TDSCDMA/GSM/WCDMA etc so i can get LTE and voice. It defaults to LTE only. Anyone know how to clear this or force on one band ?
Thanks

if you are rooted download http injector and select radios option from dropdown menu select auto/ all bands option
Verizon variant is not rootable.
