Here are my steps to switch bands without adb, sharing since I've gotten 2 confirmations it works on other phones:
Switch Sims
switch to settings -> cellular networks
Pull down notifications-> Airplane mode ON
Network App -> GSM / LTE (close app)
switch to settings
verify 4g (I always click on it, still shows CDMA)
NEtwrok app -> Turn on Radio
Settings -> click on CDMA -> Select 4G
Airplane Mode OFF
I was a little skeptical when I first read your instruction but this actually works for me as well. Note the trick is to get into the settings ->cellular networks before turning on airplane mode (you can't get into this setting with airplane mode on) then switching back and forth between the network app that was used on the 5.0.2 and the cellular networks.
Exactly, that's what I was trying to say when I put the instruction to turn on airplane mode from the notifications pulldown. I've tried this in two phones so far and it works 100%. Not sure why people in the other thread are still arguing about adb commands and bands reverting and all that stuff...

Did u get LTE out of doing it this way? I have AT&T
I don't have att but I'm pretty sure this does the same as the other method.
This works great...Thanks OP....(for newcomers You MUST download the "Network" (it has a phone icon) from the play store
Tried this as well and works. Even tried it on a phone I reset to factory and its working. Have to repeat the process if the sims are changed but this is a step up in convenience compared to the other method.
Yep, so far this in the only non-adb method that works for me. Some say disabling VZN apks would make it sticky, but I haven't been able to get that to work.
Does anyone know what the network app does to change the radio settings? Can this be scripted? Why is it able to change the setting when calling the shell commands in a terminal emulator on the phone fails.
For some reason this method did not work for me with 5.1. Please post a Play Store link for the exact Network app you are using if it is not this one: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.mangelow.network
. The ADB method worked for me in post #1: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-e-2015/general/how-to-verizon-moto-e-2015-gsm-network-t3098953
That's the one. I'll try to make a video or something since my steps are not described in the best way. So far from the comments people have been able to somewhat fill the gaps in my explanations

Didn't work for me.
Sorry I don't have the phone with me yet. What does the following step mean?
"switch to settings -> cellular networks"
Is it the same step as the following described in the other thread:
Open up the settings app, go to the mobile networks panel, select "Prefered Network Mode" and change it to "4G"
Thanks!
It means to go to the settings pane "Cellular Networks" no need to do anything there yet, but that option will be disabled once you turn Airplane mode on, so you need to be in that section before that so you can use the task switcher to get there later.

Why can't you just go there again later using Settings->Cellular Networks if there's not need to do anything there now? Yeah, a video would be useful for me. People posting here should specify there OS version: e.g. 5.1 . I know it's in the title, but you don't know what's on people phones.

Once you activate Airplane Mode, the Cellular Networks option will be disabled.. so you need to keep it active so you can switch to it later. Couple of people in the thread and offline have confirmed this working in 5.1, but yeah it would help if all people with working steps posted their version. Is there a screen capture app that is free?

Volume up + power (at the same time) for screenshot. Do you mean video screen capture? --> https://play.google.com/store/search?q=video capture screen
I've never tried any.
I forgot to pull out the Verizon sim card that came with the phone before performing the unlock steps. Did I ruin the unlock process? If so, can I still unlock the phone somehow?
Also I tried to search 'network' in Google Play, it kept crashing. Why is this?
Thanks!

You need a GSM SIM card in during the OPs process. The method will still work if you have the GSM SIM card.

+1 on the video- Thanks
After being unlocked with the OP's method with a GSM sim card, would the phone still work with another GSM sim card? Thanks
I'm unable to find the option to select the sim before making a call on LG Q6. Assuming the G6 is having similar os, asking this here. Thank you.

I am also little upset with the same however, you can drag top screen down and you will get options (Home / Office in my case) , so i guess you need to select every time before making calling. No permanent option seems to be working for me.
Do you mean settings where it will ask you which sim to be used everytime you make a call? It's in Settings -> Dual Simcard -> Cost save mode... turn it off.
I have an Erisin 6046B HU in my BWW e46. I got the 3G dongle from Erisin when I bought the HU which connects via USB, and then used a SIM from iD Network in that.
It all worked perfectly yesterday - I was downloading apps and browsing in the car. But today - no network connection. Weirdly, there's no settings in the unit about mobile network - unless you use the search function and search 'network' - there you can access the network settings but its all greyed out. What I could do, was reset the network settings. But this didn't help.
I checked the SIM online and I still have plenty of data left, and iD say the SIM is active.
I'm wondering if its anything to do with me installing a dialler app (Drupe) and trying to make a call with it? I just wanted to see if that would work, out of interest - but it seemed to do something to the unit when it dialled. Afterwards the DAB app was completely silent, and only started working again today. Could I have broken the unit somehow by trying to dial out from a dialler app?!
I'm thinking the obvious step is to factory reset it.. which is annoying as I've just got it all set up perfectly!
Any other ideas?

Thanks, but I'm not tethering. The SIM is directly in the unit and was working as a normal sim. I'm not tethering at all.
And if it was that, why would it work for a day just fine?
Good morning to all,
I have bought this smartwathc, my idea was to use it as a phone when I was on call, but some apps don't work.
Every time that I try to open an app like facebook or whatsapp on the watch it says, check version and after that download failed.
Does any one has this smartwach or know how to fix it?

I'm not sure but I think you need a SIM-card with mobile data

Its activated by default and you can set it under the mobile network settings inside the options for your sim card.
Well should be. But thats the problem. It dont show to activate. I dunno if was before android update, maybe some bug with android 12? I have some performance issues on some apps, but wasnt expect problems witch network

What version of OOS are you running? I seem to remember that when this phone came out it had the hardware capability, but the software wasn't finished. The 8 pro didn't have dual sim until late 10 or when 11 came out, I also think that was the time this phone got it's 5g capability too.
