Does anyone know a way to toggle 4g/3g or are we stuck on 4G all the time on this phone. Had no issue doing this on S6 (Sprint)
Found "4G Switcher" in the market and it worked for me. It takes you to where the ## or *# codes used to take you and you can change it to EVDO only from that menu.

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 ?

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.
Hello everyone.
A few days ago I got a Galaxy S5 Verizon (G900V).
The phone is GSM and unlocked.
I went to MetroPCS and had them activate it. Of course, they
gave me the BS about it being a Verizon phone, but the activation still worked.
Calls and texts work fine.
However, the 4GLTE signal is always very low, and sometimes drops to 3G where the 3G icon is greyed out basically saying I have no data access.
The online time I have good signal is when I mess with the Network modes and ServIceMode options enough to turn the 4GLTE/3G icon info an "E" (for EDGE data), but that is extremely slow.
Is there a way to fix this?
I have root access.
Thanks
I'd also like to mention that I wouldn't mind having HSPA+ if that's all I can get. I just need a stable signal.
Please someone help.
Anyone?
How did they switch it for you? I have a s5 through Verizon and I have service through metro pcs. But I can't get it to switch over to my s5. Can you help me? I'm like 300 miles away from the closest metro pcs so I am doing all of this on my own. I'm a noobie
Hi! I recently bought a Samsung Galaxy Note 4 SM-910c. The handset is running Android v.6.0.1.
Getting straight to the point, I have an unlimited 4G LTE data plan which I would like to utilise. My device, however, has no 'LTE Only' or '4G Only' option under Mobile Networks settings.
If I select Edge/WCDMA/LTE, the device would always prefer Edge despite LTE reception in the area albeit not as good as Edge. I, however, would really like to use 4G LTE even if it means using it on 2-3 bars.
I have tried using *#INFO#, *#*#INFO#*#*, another code, and a few apps such as Elixir 2, 4G LTE Only but to no use. The codes that I have mentioned earlier don't work on my device.
Do you guys have anything in mind that would help me out? I'd really appreciate it! Thank you!
try this app for only lte mode but not as efficent as toggle network=> (needs root) and you need to know in only lte mode you are not able to calling someone and anyone cannot call you.

So maybe this was a bad idea but I'm on boom mobile (verizon mvno) and thought I could save some money and picked up a sprint s7 edge on sale, I just had it unlocked and they flashed it to the 935u unlocked version. The problem is I can't connect to the verizon network, after playing around with it a bit I got it to connect to the verizon lte network but still no voice. In my meager attempts to troubleshoot I noticed I have the options under network mode of
LTE/3g/2g -->> this picks up all networks in my area (Verizon, Sprint, ATT, Tmobile, US Cellular)
3g/2g --> only shows ATT and Tmobile
3g --> only shows ATT and Tmobile
2g --> only Tmobile
So I'm thinking my phone isn't setup right to connect to cdma networks which I thought the 935u rom was supposed to do. Anyone have any tips on how i can further troubleshoot this?
Thanks in advance.
edit: Well I installed a program called 4g LTE switch and set it to cdma only and I was able to make a phone call (3g data also worked) like that but changing it to LTE/cdma wouldn't let me make a call but LTE data worked, if i leave it set to LTE/cdma and reboot it switches back to LTE only.
edit2: Maybe it's trying to connect to volte which isn't offered for Verizon MVNO's yet but i don't see any settings available to disable that.
edit3: When set to LTE/CDMA I could sometimes make outgoing calls, sometimes I would get the double dial prompt, it was very slow to switch between LTE and CDMA so I would miss incoming phone calls.
I threw in the towel and just flashed the latest Verizon rom and it's working properly.
