Hi all,
On 11/14 build for Sprint Galaxy S 4.
Is there a way to add a quick toggle for LTE / 4G? The ROM doesn't seem to switch to LTE when I know there is LTE. Generally on other ROMs when this happens, I just toggle LTE off and back on and it locks in the LTE right away. Alternatively, I would go to APNs menu and switch between 3G and 4G APNs.
There's Preferred network type but I generally leave that to LTE.

I just got a new ATT S4 and have a question about LTE. I know that I am able to get LTE here because if I use the 2263 menu, or phone info app and choose LTE only it works perfect, and very fast. But of course that disable calling, etc. What happens is that its always on HSPA+ instead. Is there a way to prioritize or force it to connect to LTE instead? I know LTE takes more battery, but my HSPA is very slow. Thanks
I should add that if I go into airplane mode, then back to normal I get LTE for a few seconds. Then it goes back to regular 4G.
i377 at&t root, custom recovery, WanamLite rom, KT-SGS4-TW-JB-ATT-06-17-2013 kernel
LTE/WCDMA/GSM setting after some time switch to WCDMA/GSM
I see only H+ but not 4g....
APN set correctly
What else can I check?
My provider doesn't support voice via lte. So phone must switch from lte to 3g for voice.
If I set via service menu preferred network to LTE than internet work via 4g but voice doesn't work.
If I set preferred network to auto than lte doesn't work Only 3g.
Is there currently a way to toggle LTE on/off on the ATT S4? It really pisses me off that ATT hides the phone menu that allows you to do this. I don't want to root my phone, I just want to have the ability to toggle LTE off when I am in areas with weak or no LTE.

1. Your phone will switch from 4g to LTE when the signal picks up or lessens.
2. *#*#4636#*#* then Device Info, and change your Radio to GSM/CDMA (PRL)

This is very useful to know, thank you!
Actually you want to choose "WCDMA Preferred" and not "GSM/CDMA" if you are using a GSM network.
That way it will use HSPA+ and not LTE. I use it every morning when I wake up cause I am on the outer boundary of LTE coverage with barely 2 bars, and full bars of HSPA.
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
HI,
My redmi note 7 has a issue, when I put the Phone in GSM automatic he take 4g for a while but after some minutes it goes down to H+ or H (depends of the signal) and it dont take 4g again, it take 4g if I reset the signal or put airplane Mode for a moment. If I put LTE only in the settings it takes LTE and stay there normal, the speed test is normal for LTE but there is not LTE in everywhere and I lost the signal if there are not LTE. Why the Phone dont go 4G automatic when there are 4g?
Sorry for my english
I'd try changing the "preferred network type" under SETTINGS > NETWORK & INTERNET > MOBILE NETWORK (I'm on HavocOS, on your rom the path may differ)
The preferred network type is GSM/LTE
