My office is at my home. Our area has very poor sevice. I had to get a range extender from Verizon since it is so bad. I have no need for 4g since i have good wireless internet. I don't want to drain the battery with the phone constantly looking for 4g. Does the phone have a setting to force 3g or does anyone know if one of the toggle widgets will work?
That is one of the things i didn't like about my LG G2. You could not turn off 4g. Battery life on it is excellent on it despite the issue.

Isn't there a dialer menu to toggle this? Would the dialer codes for the Nexus 6 work for this one as well, being made by Motorola and all.

That's the problem I had with the G2. There was no setting on my Verizon phone to force it. No widgets would work with it. To my knowledge no one ever found a way to do it. Can anyone confirm we can do this on the Pure with Verizon service.
Thanks,
Also on Verizon and would love a way to force it off 4G at the area by my work which is where a bunch of medical centers are the 4G bandwidth is <1MB and often internet cuts in even with good signal. The issue is simple overcrowding of their local capacity. When I had my OG droid which used CDMA I had no issues with performance.
I think we are going to be finding more users looking for this so hopefully there will be a hack or an update to allow for this!

You can force it on LG devices (tested on both G2 and G3). Provided that your device has the Verizon Hidden Menu apk (custom ROMs have it, might not be present on stock, I don't remember), run the following in a terminal app: am start -a android.intent.action.MAIN -n com.lge.VerizonHiddenMenu/com.lge.VerizonHiddenMenu.systemSelection.SystemSelection
It'll pop up a menu selection that lets you choose between the various network modes: CDMA+LTE/EVDO Auto (2G, 3G, and 4G), LTE Only (just 4G), EVDO only (just 3G), CDMA w/o EVDO (just 2G), and CDMA w/ EVDO (2G+3G). There's also some GSM/WCDMA options in there.
No clue if something similar exists for the Pure, but just thought I should point that out.
I downloaded the LTE OnOff app for HTC Thunderbolt today and can confirm that it does work. I set it to CDMA auto (PRL) and the phone is staying in 3g.
I have a network extender at home on Verizon. My old S4 would connect to the extender. After 2 days, my MPXE has not connected. I just moved the SIM from the S4 to the MPXE.
Do I need to call Verizon and register my phone with them?
Any suggestions?
I did not have to contact Verizon. DIAL #48 to see if you are connected. I just had to force 3g so my X would not constantly try to connect to 4g. You dont get the little house on this phone, so you might actually be connected.

I use the app call Network Signal Pro which tells me what kind of cellular signal is being used. It reports LTE, but has low signal strength.
With my old phone, when I was connected to the Net Extender I would hear a beep before the call rings thru. the Net Signal Pro would also report "network extender" as the network type.
What does #48 do to the phone?
I think in the secret menu you can force it to CDMA only. I saw it but for me I chose lte/CDMA I usually have lte everywhere. But yes there is option to set it to CDMA only

For the Tmobile variant, I can access the different networks through the standard menu.
Maybe you would like to stick it to LTE only!? :laugh:
On AT&T. Did not have RAT selection. Just a list of all LTE bands. I noticed I can not connect to LTE anymore. Is there a certain LTE band I should choose? I'm in US Florida, Orlando area. Thanks

Just selected each band one by one, and Band 17 only one with LTE.

Is there a way to disable 3G data? I'm on the edge of a LTE network and its perfectly fine 600kb/s but It keeps switching back to 3G which only is 80kb/s and I'm about to chuck my phone.
I know LTE is strong enough to be constant, its just the phone picking the best available connection, which is very inconvenient for tethering. I switch my Airplane mode on and off and get LTE for about 5 mins.
For sprint one of the menu's is ##data## (or ##3282##) Is this the menu you'd use to access LTE only settings?
Anyone able to get the international (korean) version working on t-mobile lte?
I move around a lot, and I'm all about no contract pre-paid plans so I want a GSM phone that could get on att and tmobile bands. I currently have a Note 2 (originally on att) that was rooted to enable tmobile lte.

Have not seen any mention of anyone really having data issues. However this was my experience once I was rooted. Of course all the proper settings in networks tab. Thought maybe a bad sim as I had it for awhile and cut it for the MXP. Verizon swap no problem. Leave the store and ten minutes later it happened again. While rooted I only had gravitybox and viper installed along with kernel auditor. Uninstalled them no change. So here I am now after a factory restore and no signal drops whatsoever. About to reroot and go step by step to try and trigger again. Besides returning phone for what I think is software related is there anything else I am missing to setup after rooted that is tainting my setup. Maybe a rom would help. But not too many days left for Amazon 14 day return on cellphones. This is last resort as I love the phone. Thanks for any assistance.
Sounds like you're in LTE mode only (even though you may have it set properly in settings) so any time you lose 4G it can't drop to 3G. You need to access Phone Info and change it to LTE/CDMA auto (PRL).

It's a hidden menu that can be accessed several ways. I have a direct link to that I created in Nova launcher (widgets > activities) that I restore to any rom/phone I use. It can also be accessed from the dialer (sorry but I don't know the code to enter) or with an app (Google HTC Thunderbolt LTE On/Off app - it may no longer be in the Play store). If I'm not mistaken there's an Xposed Module that'll add it to your power menu.

Assuming OP has the same issue I am having then it isn't in LTE only mode. The issue I'm having seems to be APN related. I went camping this passed weekend and the data connection wasn't available which shows a ! in the signal icon. If I went to the APN settings and tried a different APN then it would connect and show LTE. This is a bug similar to what I've seen on some other phones using AOSP systems like CM, etc.

I'm not sure that actually changing the APN is the issue. I think it has more to do with it resetting the data connection state. Sort of seems like a race condition because changing the APN didn't always fix it for me the first time.
I've also never seen a data issue in my hometown. It was only when I was out in the middle of nowhere.
My wife's Nexus 6 never had the issue while we were camping.

LTE/GSM/CDMA is fine. This corresponds to "Global" in the main cellular settings. It simply means it will use either GSM or CDMA depending on the sim card installed. With a Verizon SIM card it is the same as having LTE/CDMA.

Yes but I have tried those settings as well as hidden menu settings. Only one that works is LTE only mode in hidden menu. Just don't understand why all the issues on any other setting. This is first unlocked phone for me but I've never had to change these settings while running stock roms. Is there anything else that I should of done after installing sim? Or even after to get these settings to work.
Anyone else noticing an issue where you lose LTE in an overwhelmingly LTE area and it sticks on 3G? I have to use airplane mode to bump the radio back to 4G. This has been happening ever since I've had the phone. I'm curious if its just my area or if others are experiencing the same problem and if they've been able to fix it, what did you do? I have my MSL and I haven't taken the update so I am still able to edit my APN settings.

I have the same issue. The only thing that helps me is when i use it as hot spot is I mount it on my satellite receiver (pointing to signal direction). with a better signal it doesn't switch. I noticed with about 20% strength jump to 3G but my 3G is weaker and slower...
I have not experienced that problem.

Mine really prefers LTE and rarely see it on 3G. If it does it's fairly quick to go back. I actually think it's too touchy it will hang on to a crap band 41 signal rather than a good 25 or 26 signal. A lot is of course going to depend on your area but I would try a radio reset.
Only time mine sticks is if im updating something or using data it wont switch back unless i move to another location outside of 3g or after the download

During this past week I lost all data connectivity. I was in a strong signal area where I have never seen a problem before. The only thing that looked wrong was there was no strength of signal indicator. My data signal has been set on automatic since I've had the phone. I changed it to LTE CMDA, the phone reset, and the problem disappeared.
Has anyone else had a similar problem?

I was going to suggest this action. Set your network type from automatic to lte/cdma. Then reboot. You may also want to run a profile and prl update. Last ditch you may want to run the HFA again. Usually just changing the network type will suffice.

Hey guys,
As this is a new release, I am keeping an eye out for tests of the stability and reliability of 4G LTE connections (the reception) and also the same for connecting over ac WIFI. Can someone please post some tests/videos/results?
Second. can someone also take a picture confirming ALL 4G LTE FDD bands supported. GSMArena and PDAdb.net both state this supports Bankd 29 700Mhz. is this correct?

I have the CN edition rather than the global so I wouldn't expect to have Band 29 so I can't help you there.
In terms of general stability and signal quality with LTE connections.
They're very good.
I'm not sure what kind of test/video or result you'd want to see as it seems like there are always too many variables to get consistent test results, I can quite happily get 70mbps down on LTE using band 3.
As for WiFi - I'm hoping this is a ROM issue more than anything else, I'm unable to set my locale so I don't which nations wifi regulations I'm following (I'm using mi-globe.com as there isn't currently a global release rom).
I max out with a link speed of 433mbps on 5GHz (desktop achieves 1300mbps) and can't achieve more than a stated link of higher than 150mbps on 2.4GHz (desktop achieves 600mbps)
although the range is very good, and the eventual handoff to LTE is very quick too.
Is there something specific you're looking for I can help with?

Thanks for that. Yes, I think there is. Maybe see if you can set LTE only, or LTE/3G (etc)...do you get full reception at work, or in your home? Maybe just monitor it's strength without moving the phone from a typical "full strength location" and see if it changes. You can also run other apps that will utilise more of the CPU and RAM 9not necessarily internet-demanding apps) to see if they are a factor, in any way, on the radio strength.
I am mostly interested in the global version, what ROM it is (hoping different rather than just the CN with extra languages). As it's important to see what bands are supported, usually mentioned on the package... I also need to see the functionality of the dual sim and how the 2 interact when a data connection is active and a call comes in on the other SIM, etc. Screenshots confirming the SIM's connection sin the upper right status bar would also be benefical.
Thanks

Thanks for that. Yes, I think there is. Maybe see if you can set LTE only, or LTE/3G (etc)...do you get full reception at work, or in your home?

Set to LTE only I get full signal at home and I haven't noticed anywhere in the city I don't have 4G, (at least while above ground).
It's not easy to make too much of a dent with that amount of RAM but CPU increased utilisation has no affect. I tend to keep my signal details as numerical anyway, that changed today when I flashed a statusbar mod changing my clock position so it's not in my screenshots.
You won't be seeing a difference in the ROM with global version, there isn't any reason to think they're releasing a separate ROM for the global version. The ROM that's out now is for all versions, I've taken it apart and the support in the current ROM is there for all the bands. I haven't worked out where they're limiting the bands but I've had a tinker. Changes to NVRAM values are lost on reboot and I haven't got any real reason to play other than curiosity.
If they release the phone internationally that would be when they release a global ROM; the differences there are localisations, removal of Chinese local apps (baidu, etc) and inclusion of google apps instead but nothing much more substantial than that. Was there something in particular you were hoping for?
No problems running data on one sim and receiving a call on the other, I tried this a few times downloading on LTE and calling myself via Skype (to my number not Skype -> i.e not local cell or data call). 10 out of 10 times there was no problem receiving the call and no noticeable impact on data speeds at the time.
Not sure how I show you with screenshots that one sim is active for data while another is active for voice, there's no indication when a sim is being used besides for data but I've taken some running an LTE network scanner. It'll only show networks on the band I'm currently active on (no idea why). Searching for available networks to join I can see LTE networks that use must band 7 (I assume, since that carrier has bands 7 & 20 - and well I shouldn't pick up band 20)
Hopefully you can gleam something useful from some of these screenshots, these were taking live as it was running. Since it's just network scanning here's no actual data flow hence why you see there's no data activity in the statusbar.

@StoneTrapper How do you find and rate the UI?
I've heard there's a few who don't like it and want to switch phones because of it.
I can see 4g/3g from your screens, so I wouldn't think using 4g and taking a call over3g frequency would be an issue given the CPU in this. THe lack of Band 28 (or many other bands for that matter) is a bit concerning

I'm used to MIUI, it's not my first xiaomi phone. I don't mind it, it's not ideal but there's nothing really unlikable about it.
People will always have their own preferences with roms, sooner or later xiaomi usually release the source code and the custom roms come flooding.
Yeah one of the networks I'm with only offer 3g, otherwise it supports dual LTE. If you want additional bands they offer a global edition that supports:
B1, B2, B3,B4, B5, B7, B8, B12, B13,B17, B18, B19, B20, B25,B26, B28, B29, B30
TD-LTE: B38, B39, B40, B41
I don't need the additional bands and the CN edition is already available to I went ahead and got that.
Mi Guys,
(Standard word of Caution: Risk of bricking your phone! Only proceed with, if you understand what you're doing)
After becoming very happy to see dev supports on our Mido, I was very desperate onto enabling LTE+ (Actual 4G) on our device over Bands 3/5/40 for Indian 4G only operator JIO.
SD625 - Actual Hardware supports it so if software support is enabled theoretically it should work...
Hence I followed this guide (https://forum.xda-developers.com/lenovo-p2/how-to/enabled-4g-ca-p2-t3707584)
After using 549755813908 value and restarting the phone, I got very happy to see 4G+ on MIUI9. BUT BUT BUT, Phone actually doesn't aggregate with two carriers still! What happens now is whenever the phone is in Band 3 or 5, this + sign just appears.
After that, I flashed NOS ROM and even now, LTE+ appears, but actual carrier aggregation doesn't happen. I can confirm No Data Speed improvement whatsoever and can confirm same using NSG App. Pls, check Screenshots attached. Any leads are most welcome!

Band 5 has slow speed due to its 5Mhz bandwidth. Remove it and try locking on B3 or B40. I am sure it will provide you faster speeds. B3 has 10Mhz and B40 has 20Mhz bandwidth.
So i removed band 5 from my phone to have better speed and it worked.
ChinaTelecom 4G Band1+Band3
Mido Can not use it
is there any trick to use internet on 3g sim and 4g sim volter for calling only, means if i change default internet to sim other then jio , then jio should get network only for calling

While that correct, the point about this post was to enable CA in Mido. Most of the articles point 625 chipset aggregates stably over Band5 with 3/40. Anyways it doesn't aggregate on any bands, as I explained

Yeah, chipset supports it, but Mido doesn't

So far nope..
May be this is due to locked nv values. When was trying to modify nv values for LTE bands i found that many other values were disabled.

So, what is ur final suggestion? Should we unlock ca and b40 to get 10m+ speeds or shouldn't we?!

By NV values did you mean changing RFNV LTE B(x=No.) CA BC CONFIG..? If so thats exactly what I tried and it didn't work to me

You can try to enable 2CA by following my thread. But it doesn't connect 2CA as expected hence no speed improvement so far.., I have no clue what is going wrong. Thus I created this thread to gather some inputs by some experienced guys who know about this..

With this error hint, I have to close this post I guess. Don't buy Redmi Mid range you are looking to escape carrier congestion

What about this guys (see pic, attachment) !?? Pic are from MIUI forum post about unlocking CA 4G+ on Mido.
Dont close the thread .It will be a boom for mido users Just some more time and knowledge of others Seniors is needed Please

It was proven it doesn't work, since why OP removed all the files.
It's useless even in those bands the jio speed is capped.

Hello Brother,
Can you please tell that how to remove band 5 from the phone and lock it on B3 and B40...??
