I have never used google voice before. I know that Sprint has a google voice integration. Is there a way to use the google voice integration to avoid being disconected from lte when a call comes in?
If not possible is there a setting in the dialer code that would enable lte to stay on and avoid calls temporarily?
If anyone is interested I found the way to have uninterupted data while on lte. I used an app in the play store named "lte settings". I use it to set the radio to lte only. The only drawback is that no calls or sms or able to get through while it is in this mode. it is easy to switch back and forth. I use it if I am downloading or using tether and do not want a call to disconnect me.

This application looks pointless. You can just as easily access this menu by going into your phone and pressing *#*#4636#*#*. This allows you to change the phone to LTE Only, CDMA + LTE/EVDO, etc. It also lets you force your phone to search on a given frequency, such as Cellular, PCS, or Secondary 800 MHz.
Just for the record, the Sprint version will NEVER be able to do SVLTE or SVDO. Don't ask. It simply cannot be done unless you use VoIP software. The hardware on the Sprint version cannot do more than one type of connection, as in either it has LTE, CDMA or EVDO.

No secret codes work for verizon stock so that app is far from pointless...
Those of us in a new aws area would want to change to lte only to test it out or if we needed it data only.

How do you change to LTE Only, CDMA + LTE/EVDO in the ##4636 settings? Also how do you force it to search on a certain frequency?

Is it possible to make a program that when you click on it it changes the reg value to be able to switch to Roam Only and Back? I have no knowledge of doing this so I am asking
Thank you
What's wrong with choosing it from the Phone Settings menu (comm manager)? It's a few steps, but usually only takes me a few seconds.

That allows roaming (if I understand the setting you are referring to) not forced Roaming, I live in a area where there is a hint of Sprint Signal there is a 5 bar presence from US Cellular but my handset keeps jumping to Sprint I miss calls etc
My Palm 800W had a setting that would select Roam Only since it appears that we know which reg entry that needs modified I was hoping someone with software skills (not me) could write a small app.
found this over on ppcgeeks somewhere

Sorry, what I was talking about is after doing the hack and you have the Roaming Only ability, what's wrong with just choosing it from the Comm Manager settings dialog?
I actually switch from Sprint Only to Roaming Only on a regular basis, I've gotten very quick at making the change because I am used to to doing it.

What exactly does the CAB do? On the Sprint Touch Pro, its a single registry change. Is this CAB for other phones like the Verizon version or does it do something else as well? Just curious.
it creates the option in settings\phone\roaming for you to select roam only rather than going in and editing code. makes enabling and disabling easy.

Oh, so it does the registry hack only? So a more friendly install for those not comfortable messing with the registry?
Exactly. I've done the mod several times on different devices. My home in Michigan is a Sprint dead zone. It teeters on Sprint and roaming all the time. When I came back this time I noticed my Roam Only option was gone. There must have been an OTA update that changed it back to my surprise.
Well this time I just used a cab and plan to use it on my wife's Diamond. Much quicker.
anyone know if sprint phones can roam on ATT towers? when i visit my parents there is a sprint tower 2 miles away and even when forcing roam i get no service. they all have full service on their ATT phones. that was the reason i installed this cab but either it does not work or i cannot use ATT towers.
Tom,
No you cannot roam on ATT. Its different technology. GSM vs. CDMA.
You can roam on VZW and Alltell etc.

Force roaming only on a Verizon touch pro 2
Dont get me wrong, Verizon Coverage is unbeatable, but I plan to live in Tijuana Mexico so that I can save some money on rent. The problem is that my phone (and every other phone I had) tries so hard to find verizon signal with no success as obviously there is no vzw towers in Mexico (only partner towers). On the phone menu there is only home only, automatic A, and automatic B. I need a hack so that I can have a "roaming networks only" so that I can freely use my phone without it switching automatically to a 1x one bar or zero bars. How can I do this??
Would it be possible to create an app/widget in order to get to these settings more quickly? I know I shouldn't have to, but I'm finding that in order to stay on LTE, I need to toggle having just LTE turned on and not LTE/evdo. With WiMax phones, there was built in functionality to turn on only that radio since it was a separate radio from the 3g. It would be nice to be able to quickly toggle between only LTE and full mobile network.
I'm no programmer, so I wouldn't even know where to begin with this, but this would be some much appreciated functionality - not sure if anyone has even thought about doing anything like this or not.
Are you stock or running a custom ROM? Some roms (like viper4g) have a toggle in quick settings called Network Mode that lets you switch between cdma only and lte/cdma...is that what you're looking for?
Sent from my EVO LTE
I'm rooted running Mean 4.8. I know that I can switch between CDMA and CDMA/LTE, but if i go into dialer and hit *#*#4636#*#* and then go to Phone Information, you actually have the ability to turn on LTE only (no 3g).
I thought maybe setting this number with speed dial would be a quick fix that would cut out some of the steps, but it actually dials and then places the call, and I need something that just dials but does not place the call.
There's an app called network in playstore. It allows u to switch between whatever u want, LTE only, cdma only, cdma gsm LTE, cdma LTE, gsm & wcdma.
Has every combo/isolation u can ever want.

This is perfect! EXACTLY what I was looking for! I knew I couldn't have been the first person to think of it. It doesn't show anything like the images on Google Play show, but it opens directly into the Phone Information screen that I get to from dialing the code, with the ability to change my network on the fly.
Thanks a ton!

Most likely. Nothing in the playstore says anything about needing to be rooted, and the *#*#4636#*#* command has nothing to do with root. You can go to the dialer and type that in to get to the Phone Info screen from stock.

I am suffering a case of search block - I am betting this has already been asked and hopefully answered.
1. I want to enable tethering without a tethering plan. I know all the warnings, but on occasion find this useful. Never more than a few minutes at a time. I don't want a tethering plan because I am unlimited now, though I will switch if they get me. Did this with WP7, are the instructions the same? link?
2. I really would like to reenable the switch that allows me to disable LTE. I find that LTE drains the battery too fast and if I am somewhere and need to squeeze a little extra out of the battery... particularly if on the edge of the LTE coverage area... don't get why at&t disables this ability.
Thanks!
Tethering plan? US carriers...
I think under settings > cellular there are new settings to "add internet apn" & "add mms apn". Not sure if you manually enter your APN, if it will create a new entry with default settings and allow tethering.
Warning: I have not tried this and it might not work and/or break your stuff requiring a reset.

APN and tethering are two separate things. AT&T puts a lock on the tethering where it "Phones" home to see if you have the plan. SO changing apn WONT work
I don't care about the tethering part since I have the shared data family plan that includes tethering, but I am interested in being able to disable LTE.
At work, I'm in a fringe area, so it'll keep switching between LTE and 4G. It gets full 4G bars but will hover around 0-1 LTE bars.
After the Portico update, ##3282 will get me into the data menu which has some settings to force 2G, 3G, and 4G, but I don't see anything that would disable LTE. If I force "3G", would it actually do "4G" since its all HSPA+?

Hey guys, I have a few questions that I need to get resolved which MAY help in getting LTE Working solid on Verizon One maxes for those who Have T-Mobile, but I would like to confirm that T-Mobile LTE does work on the Verizon one Max. You don't need to flash ANY special Radios. You can even use Verizon's Latest Radios and it works. All that needs to be done is use *#*#4636*#*# to change the preferred network type to GSM/WCMDA/LTE and boom, it works. The Problem I am having is that you have to switch to GSM Only first, just to get it to Work on T-Mobile before you switch to GSM/WCDMA/LTE. Another problem is that when you reboot once or Twice, my radio keeps on going crazy Rapidly switching from No Service to T-Mobile and Back. I go back into *#*#4636*#*# and I see that it changed to EvDO+CMDA/LTE Mode. I would have to go back and switch to GSM only to fix the problem then back to GSM/WCDMA/LTE Mode to connect to the network again. And yes I have the fast.T-Mobile.com APN Already inputted. This is with both Verizon and Sprint Sense 5 or 6 Roms. So we know LTE works on T-Mobile with the Verizon HTC One Max, But it won't stick. However, I decided to Flash a Cyanongen 11 Rom to the One Max, I am able to go System > Mobile Networks > Preferred Network Type and switch it to GSM/WCDMA/LTE, Reboot, then go into dialer and enter *#*#4636#*#* and Switch to LTE/GSM auto (PRL) and it works flawlessly. No matter how many times I restart, I still instantly connect to T-Mobile's LTE Network. Texting and MMS works with no issue. So what I think the issue is that On Sense roms there is only 6 Different Preffered Network types to choose from but on the Cyanongen 11 Rom, there are over 15. Also, On Sense ROMS there is only a GSM/WCDMA/LTE type with no Auto and I think that's the issue. There is no LTE/GSM auto (PRL) Selection in Sense roms. Because when I choose GSM (auto) on Sense, I can connect to HSPA, 3G, and EDGE with no issues. So I am asking for some help in How can we get more Preferred network type selections under *#*#4636*#*#. Or is there some scripts we can change with the current ones that resemble a LTE/GSM auto (PRL) Selection. But I think that is the culprit in Getting LTE fully working.
And just to Confirm that LTE is working on HTC One Max Verizon Version.
Even when I put my phone in wcdma/gsm/lte my service stays outputting no signal. Even when I reboot it stays like that until I change the network mode.
I wish t mobile released a one max so we could get WiFi calling

I'm trying to do this too. But the roms I have tried so far won't let me get into *#*#4636#*#*. What Rom did you use to get into it?

This does seem to fix one of the Issues, but I am getting Signal Dropouts on LTE when going from Tower to Tower and have to turn on and off Airplane Mode to get it working agian. Do you ever experience this issue?
I don't have to use airplane mode to regain a signal. In my area T-Mobile has spotty signal strength. That is one reason I use LTE but only when signal is fair to good and for long video streaming. Hspa+ for me is better on battery and suffice for Tapatalk, email, mms, market downloads, apk even short videos, etc. I stream more on the weekend because it football season.

I use to Have a Sprint One Max with it Unlocked as well and I only got HSPA+ Speeds with it. I never Went about getting LTE to work because I though it didn't have the Compatible Radio inside of it. I am hearing that the Sprint Version has the Same LTE bands as the Verizon Network Uses. But I would try to go into you *#*#4636#*#* (or Download Network from the Play Store) And try switching your preferred network to GSM/WCDMA/LTE and see if it works. Make sure, that your APN Is set to the Fast.t-mobile.com One also. That is all I did to get it to work on the Verizon Version.

Same here. Also, I tried switching bands and it did seem to fix the Problem, However it prevents me to Call out or Receive Calls because usually when making or Receiving a Call, the LTE Band goes back to 3G/H/H+ because T-Mobile hasn't Activated VoLTE yet. But it is good to know that LTE does work but it's not really Stable and Global Phone Friendly. The Problems really happen when Driving around or Going from Tower to Tower. Signal goes from perfect to NULL and just stays at 1 or 0 Bars no matter where you go. And you either have to Restart the Phone, Turn the Radio off then on, or Just simply Turn on and Off Airplane Mode to fix it. So I am just using WCMDA or GSM Only for the time being and I don't really want to go to a AOKP CM11 Rom because most of the Features I use aren't there. And just to Clarify, Switching/Flashing Radios and basebands does NOT Fix the problem. I have tried All sorts of Radios, even from T-Mobile HTC One Phones and just doesn't work.
I had used the steps in the link pasted under this to get my LTE working perfectly on the stock Verizon ROM with Sense 5.5 but after upgrading to Sense 6 these changes have caused some issues. The changes worked fine for a day but then the second day mobile data stopped and nothing I did could bring it back. I ended up having to flash a stock rom RUU to get mobile data to come back. I'm not sure why the data stopped on the second day, I may have been from other changes I made to dpi or adding on screen buttons or re-locking the bootloader to use the fingerprint scanner. For now I'm just using gloabal mode which gets me good 3G till I re-gain my courage to try modifying the settings to get the LTE again.

I've done everything you said step by step and still only EDGE works I've networks and telinfo I'm currently on family mobile
According to the specification sheet, my Le Max 2 (Model X820) has all the bands required for Verizon. I am always interested in finding out whether it can be used on Verizon network, and if so, how. I have done quite a bit of experiments and would like to share my findings.
First thing first, and I am sure most of us know it - you cannot activate a Verizon SIM using this phone. It must be an activated Verizon SIM that you pop into this phone.
I am using an Xfinity Mobile SIM, which uses Verizon. It is not a Verizon prepaid or post-paid SIM. I do not think it makes any difference in my experiment though.
I can get one of the two working conditions: (1) 3G voice + 3G data, or (2) 4G data but no voice. In case (1), the phone is connected to Verizon’s EvDo network. Voice works fine. Data also works, but it is only 3G. In a phone call, data is disconnected, which is what an EvDo network does. In case (2), LTE data works, but Voice is out of service. I did try VoLTE but to no luck (The same SIM works fine with VoLTE in a Nexus 6P).
To me, only case (1) is a workable solution. When one would like to think in case (2), we can supplement Verizon’s LTE data with voice from another SIM. It does not work. When LTE data is set to use Verizon, the other SIM does not work at all. Some people may be fine with Hangouts or a VoIP solution though.
For a dual-SIM set up, it goes like this: SIM 1 – Verizon, for voice/SMS, SIM 2 – ATT or T-Mobile, for data. The drawback is that when you are in a call, data is disconnected.
But even for such a set up to work, there is some work to be done. Based on my limited knowledge of how Verizon’s CDMA network works, it seems that for voice to work, some provisioning must be done (information such as MDN, PRL, etc.). I find that this provisioning is only doable in a Chinese stock ROM. Once that is done, use TWRP to make a copy of the EFS partition. That is my savior. With such a “provisioned” EFS, it is possible to use Verizon in custom ROMs such as RR or lineage. If this EFS partition is overwritten, then the phone will not work with Verizon in case (1).
I know in the past, people have used software such as CDMA workshop, or Qualcomm’s programming software to set parameters for CDMA network. I do not know if it will work for this phone or not. But that is clearly beyond my skill level.
How do you get 3g voice and 3g data work?
Heyyo, tbh I made a build of LineageOS 15.1 with some kanged verizon files from Sagit (Xiaomi Mi6) but of course I can't test it as I am in Canada... if you're willing to try it out and report your testing it would be appreciated.

Sorry for a late response.
For 3G voice and data to work, I chose to force 3G in settings. I used the RR ROM. Settings --> More --> Cellular networks --> Preferred network type: Choose 3G instead of LTE.
You can also use the dialer, enter *#*#4626#*#*, then Phone information. You can choose network mode there too.
