I'm at a place where mobile connections are poor. I used to have an option in the past where I could choose only lte. That worked. In the Rom I use now this is not included. Only switch automatically 2g/3g/4g. Which ends up constantly switching to E. I have to toggle plane mode and it goes back to lte. Is there a way to limit to 4g so that it doesn't switch? Sorry for the bad English

Deluxe Rom. I really don't want to switch Rom. I guess there must be some way to do that.

I'd suggest you go on the deluxe Rom forum and ask there. People who use it might be able to help. In all the roms i tried there is always an option to switch.

it's not a specific question for the Rom. I thought there may be a way to do it in buildprop.
I can chose only 2g, only 3g, and switch automatically 2g/3g/4g. That's standard. What I need is only 4g.

I'm on Deluxe at the moment, and clearly have the option to limit to only LTE...
Settings > Connections > Mobile Networks > Network mode > LTE only
If you don't see it perhaps it's a CSC issue; I'm using BTU.

This cannot be edited in buildprop. It's the dev who can put it in the rom. I'm on blackdiamond v3 and it has a LTE only mode.

I have a fascinate from verizon but I've just move to Vietnam and the CDMA network I use is S-Fone. I can't set EVDO on this network because there is no menu on the phone allow to set 3G. Some people said that VZW had disable that. Anyone has solution to solve that problem for me? Thanks a lot.

That program won't work for you. It simply sets your phone to Roaming mode, which for a Verizon phone means the Sprint network. It won't work with your S-Fone network.
Is there a free program that does something similar to Roam Control? I would like to try it out but don't want to buy it without knowing if it will help my situation.
EDIT: I am assuming that applanet is not legal since the posts with the apk in it have been removed. Good to know.
You should make a profile with qpst, you'll need to change some other settings with that tool, I could not find other way to do it

could you tell me which settings I have to change? You use fascinate in Mexico, right? could you give me your QPST profile? Thanks a lot. ^^
OK, im goingt o retract my last stament about using roam control. It does make some difference but not much on my phone. I want my phone to use Sprints 3g when at work. My coworkers Epic gets 100+kbs. I have installed QPST but dont really know what prl to use or even it it would help. Maybe someone else has a better insight on this.
I recently got my I9300 and am on T-Mobile US and knew i wouldn't be getting H/H+, but been reading a lot and found a few ways to help with that, but of course it all depends on location.
Go to dialer, type "*#*#4636#*#*, and click Phone Information, then go down to 'Preferred Network Type' and select GSM/CDMA. Close app.
Go to dialer, type "*#*#301279*#*#" and select: Change Revision then select [3] RELEASE (6) HSDPA/HSUPA, then select HSDPA ON, HSUPA ON.
I have been getting H/H+ in more locations and hope this helps others. But at the end of the day, it is still dependent on location.

no sign of 'roaming' here, make sure you have correct T-Mobile APN settings. I personally have fast dormancy enabled, but don't think it makes a difference.. could be wrong tho. As for the codes, try them without the quotes.

My local Vodafone mast/transmitter is faulty on the 3G side, preventing me making/receiving calls, but 2G seems fine when I tried it on an older phone.
There doesn't seem to be an option to put my S4 (GT-i9505) into 2G-only mode....there is an auto 2G/3G option, 3G only option or auto 2G/3G/4G option....nothing else, and naturally, the auto modes put the phone into the (faulty) 3G mode.
Are there any hidden settings that I can change?
Try 4g Toggle in Play Store. In that program you will have an option to change this option.

I've now got and installed the app, but it looks complicated in terms of what I'm trying to achieve.
I've no idea what Bands to select & what issues it could cause if I muckup.
Is there no easier way, or a "nicer" app I could try?
This is still a major issue for me and no-one seems to be able to point me in the right direction.
I was wondering....if I simply turn off "Mobile Data" in the settings, will that automatically put the phone in GSM (non 3G) mode & let me achieve my aim??
I've just tried doing this...there is now no letter next to the signal bars, but the phone can take a call.

Download Advanced Signal Status. Open it then press Additional Info. Press device information and scroll down then change the preferred network type to GSM only.

i9505 2g mode
Thank you so much,
You solved my 2g mode selection, the way maybe short long.
But it works fine.
Hello devs and modders, this http://samsung-updates.com/details/16850/Galaxy_Note_3_Snapdragon/SM-N9005/ZVV/N9005VJUDMJ6.html rom (ZVV, from Brazil) has an option in the Network mode that I like very much to have, LTE ONLY, so I can tether my notebook for gaming when not in home, I know the side effects of this mode and I know I can access a hidden menu to change to that mode [takes too many steps tough], but I would like to have that menu option on other roms or even better any rom with a mod of any kind.
So can someone help me with that?
Cheers

If that is the case it's possible that the SIM card hasn't been updated, or the network provider isn't transmitting any LTE bands?
In my case, the provider is just starting to test 4G networks and I had to change the property and ask for a newer sim card (not sure if that is the case, but I did read somewhere that it might help).

Tried that but I get a message saying this option/application is not available on this phone.
Is it because my G2 is carrier branded?
Would a unbranded stock rom fix this and let me change it?
Try this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=myc.phone.PhoneInfo It does the same thing as the code.

How did you do that? How can I enable that option?
I guess it was deleted but still shows up for me since I already have it installed. The developer has 2 more versions, this one seems to be ad supported: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=tw.myc.android.PhoneInfoV2Ad
I guess this option might be available if I flash and try other custom roms or kdz from other regions.
