Hi,
Does anyone know how to enter the secret menu to disable H+/HSPDA and force the phone to use 3G ONLY? I'm on the latest Russian official rom and the codes I've found online do not work anymore.
Anyone managed to do this? thanks.
Type *#*#4636#*#* in phone.apk and then select phone info and choose WCDMA only.
I think this worked on older roms and not on the latest 4.3 one. which firmware are you on?
The option to choose WCDMA or GSM only is in settings, more networks, mobile networks, network mode.

Sorry but this is not what I am looking for. I would like to force the phone to use 3G ONLY and NOT 4g/H+/Hspda.

H+/Hspda is part of 3G, what you want isn't possible. Is your phone the i9305?

No my phone is the I9300 - we really can't force 3g? On previous Samsung devices, we could, so Samsung disable this on the S3?

The i9300 doesn't have 4G.
The option is already in settings to do what you want, I don't know why you're making this so hard.

Ok let me explain correctly..When i choose Wcdma, then the phone switches to H and H+ constantly when in low reception places and connection is sometimes lost. That's why I am looking for 3g only since 3g signal is better where I live.

H & H+ are 3G, how many times does it need repeating.

They are definitely not the same thing and it seems you've never used the secret menus to switch from 4g to 3g..Ok lets stop here. I wanted to permanently change the NETWORK BAND to 2100 ONLY. It seems this is not possible on the S3,otherwise people would already have done it like in past samsung phones.

4G and 3G are different, but your phone doesn't have 4G anyway so that's irrelevant.

Just to let u know, you could fix the frequency in the secret menu as I did this many times, whereas I don't know the codes to get there as well, they were changed I suppose. In addition the i9300 only got up to H+, no 4G, if I am not wrong, H+ is 3.9G, H is 3.5G.

As mentioned, it seems only aosp has the option you're looking for.
Still, before such a drastic solution, have you tested different modem (even older ones)?
It can make a huge difference.

Hello DInc 4G community,
I was curious to know if anyone else has seen low call signal or 4G signal loss with JB based ROMs? I have tried CM10.1 and the Avatar ROM and when flashing either, the cell signal strength only show's up to 3 bars as well as my phone always reverting to 3G instead of 4G. If I go back to stock based ROM, my cell signal shows full bars as well as the data mostly in 4G mode. Not sure it this is an artifact of the status bar indicator icon or possible firmware related? When I had my Dinc2 and was using ICS based ROM's, I had noticed improvements when flashing the ICS firmware.Wondered if this was the same for the DInc4g LTE?

that's kind of miss leading, if you check the numbers on your signal on both roms they are about the same. the number of bars is just different, as for the 3g and 4g stuff i'm not sure, never checked the numbers
I've seen the same thing, not looking at bars, but dbm
As in lower signal, more loss of reception on jb

Yeah...forgot to mention that. At home with a stock ROM or even debloated stock ROM I get -79 to -90 dBm (4 -5 full bar icon). When I was using CM10.1 based ROM's I was seeing -89 to -101 dBm range (2-3 bar icon). So I'm staying with the PizzutoClaws ROM as my daily driver

My lower values I posted are on LTE. The lower the - dBm / dB value the better or closer you are to the Tower. As my signal gets worse 1-2 bar graph, I'm at -118 to -120 dBm on 4G. When my phone switches to 3G/EVDO/1x the signal strength is only showing dB value.
My 4G doesn't work at all on CM10.1. Just a hint on how to avoid this... Never mess with radio settings or try updating roaming capabilities. CyangenMod will break your 4G. There are problems with CyangenMod and device radios. There needs to be a way to reprogram the Radio Bands. Someone please try and figure something out. I have figured out a way on how to manipulate the radio to connect to 4G. But it is kinda complicated. You have have to switch the CDMA Subscription from RUIM/SIM to NV, then go to the dialer and dial *#*#4636#*#* then go into Phone Information, then go to "Set preferred network type:" and make sure that it says: "LTE/CDMA auto (PRL)" then restart your phone. There are a couple downsides to this.
1) Your calling won't work.
2) Your messaging won't work.

The only good thing about this is faster internet than 3G. About 1 MBps. (Roughly)
That is one thing I discovered while trying to repair my 4G. Good luck and if you figure it out, there is a forum that is called 4G Not Working that needs a solution to this specific problem. Please share it.

This is a worthless response. What does "no go" mean? Be descriptive of what you tried, and in the process what worked and what failed.
Yeah I know not to talk to you because you're kinda a jerk. I just talked to Verizon and got it sorted out with them. I now have working 4G. But remove the *228 feature in your ROM, because that's what the problem was. It messed up my SIM Card because I wasn't aware you weren't supposed to do *228 on a phone like this. You developers are just too serious. Need to lighten up a little bit to the developers that haven't really got that much experience.

Asking for more information so he might be able to identify your problem is a huge jerk move. Now I understand....
Don't try to learn something if you can't take constructive criticism. It's natural to be frustrated when you're very experienced with something and someone asks for help with few details. Dumb questions get dumb answers.

Yeah, I'm just a little sensitive, need to work on that myself. But this site isn't for talking about that. haha.
First time posting on here so please don't tear me a new ass if I'm doing something wrong lol.
I just got a Galaxy Note I (SGH-I717) on AT&T.
Initially I was having problems with reception and 4G and not getting LTE at all. I finally got LTE working my setting up the PTA APN and by dialing *#2263# and selecting a different preferred band (I chose "LTE ALL" in the LTE sub-menu and saved it). I put the SIM back in, powered the phone back up and LTE was working. However my signal bars haven't gone past one bar while on LTE. I get data, and can even send and receive MMS/SMS, but cannot send/receive calls.
Someone please tell me if I did something wrong or am leaving out any vital info.

Perhaps the radio should be updated. The latest official ATT radio is UCMD3.
Check if you have it under settings/about/phone status/baseband. It works on all builds but is the newest radio which improves signal sometimes.

I'm pretty positive that my APN settings are correct (I'll post them in a minute), I think it is probably the band preference I selected in the *#2263# menu. I do know for a fact that the SGH-I717 runs on the lowest LTE band.

Those appear to be as follows in the link I posted. The only difference i saw was BEARER: LTE (default is unspecified) play with this one.. that was different in the post.
Other then that, I know ATT and Tmobile only use LTE Band 4 in the USA anyways.
So LTE ALL under the service menu wouldnt help. Was your coverage always that bad?
Please someone with ATT help this poor soul out. I'm at wits end. Usually this would be something to bug your service provider about. Myabe they can refresh something on your account, or give you a newer SIM card at your local store.

Yes, unfortunately service has always been this bad. I have called AT&T several times/been to the AT&T store and talked to a representative and they have done the following:
- Checked/rechecked my IMEI number (it always matches)
- Checked and rechecked my SIM number (before AND after I received a new SIM card
- Unregistered/Re-registered my phone with the towers
- Called a tech out to the tower to make sure nothing is going on the them (I know its not, my buddies all have LTE running fine on their devices)
Thank you so much, scariola. You've been a helped all you can.
RESOLVED
I believe I have fixed the problem.
I dialed *#2263# to get to the Band Selection screen. I already had selected "LTE ALL" under the LTE Preference menu. I unselected it, chose Back and then End (both under the softkey menu). I then re-dialed *#2263# to get back into the Band Selection menu except this time I selected "Automatic" and chose End in the softkey menu. Re-inserted SIM, and rebooted.
No I get signal 3-5 bars, 4G and 4G LTE where strong signal is available.
I thought LTE was only data and could not be used for calls.

Right. The data is the 3g/4g connection and the symbol next to the bars is the data speed. The bars is the strength of the gsm/phone signal.
It actually sounds like the OP was involved in a tower maintenance scenario and probably didn't matter what he did.
You can do the same settings changing from the mobile data settings menu.
You can't do the same settings from the mobile data settings menu. There you can only mess with data bands. You can turn LTE off or on on my Canadian ROM but you can't use it as the only band. And I didn't think you could even change this on ATT ROMs/radios at all. I believe he used LTE as the one and only bands for phone and data which caused his issue. I have achieved this same result by messing with those band setting found by *#2263#.
However the ability to send/receive texts but no calls does not make sense. That could have been tower issues since they both use the same phone band.

Er, what?
Is that a JB thing because I know it wasn't present on the ATT ICS ROM. Also where is the LTE setting??
The default is "fastest available". If you choose the high speed setting, it will connect to whatever is best.
I assumed JB stock because the OP said he just got the phone.

It's on the canadian version of JB in the settings/mobile network. Missing from att JB though.
You can however force LTE only through the service menu. Att and tmobile use band 4. Not sure about anyone else.
You must dial *#2263# into dialer and select LTE and choose the band your provider supports. That will force LTE only. Dial the same thing into dialer and select automatic* to go back to jumping through LTE/WCDMA/GSM.
I understand it is on the Canadian version as I am using it. The Canadian version also includes LTE. I know how this all works. I have a Rogers note. But my question was to ranger on where he pulled that screenshot from. I always had an LTE option both on ICS and JB. And it was my understanding that ATT left this feature out on all versions and their modem was locked.

You can't force LTE if its not available. Its best to leave it at auto and let the modem do Its job of connecting to the best signal.

It may have been, but soon after I *thought* I had fixed the problem, the same issue restarted. I believe it was an issue with the phone hardware itself, maybe the antenna. I don't know. I sold the phone and got an S3.
No problems with the S3 :good:
I used to have that problem until i changed the MNC to 260
I recently took up the T-Mo deal to switch from VZW. My mom kept her Note 2 and I rooted it and got it working on T-Mo with H+ and Edge. The issue I see is that it bounces from 3G to H+ every few seconds, What can I do to force it to stay on one band? Or even just limit it to 2 bands?
I tried Phone Info, but it force closes. It's running the Stock Rom 4.3 with a locked bootloader.
Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks!

From what I read when trying out Straight Talk, that is the standard operating mode of those types of network. Basically is scales down when higher speeds aren't necessary and then ramps up to H+ when utilizing the bandwidth. I never found a way to do anything about it, though.

Try the app Advanced Signal Info.
Go to additional settings, Phone Information, then try selecting a network mode.
With CDMA, I can lock in EVDO on the Note 2, but it won't let me lock LTE like some other phones will.
Is there any app out there that can toggle both MOBILE DATA and 3G mode at the same time? I don't like my cell working in 3G mode for talk, but I do like 3G for internet. So I would like to toggle both at the same time. There are some apps which you can program to do stuff like that, in a sequence I think, but I don't remember the names. An specific app for that would be welcome also. When toggle off it would turn off both 3G and mobile DATA.
This is motorola razr d3 XT920 with android 4.1
anyone???
I believe no one has answered your question yet because it doesn't really make much sense in its present form. 3G IS Mobile Data.

That's not quite right. MOBILE DATA means operator (cell phone company) data... it can be 2G, 3G, 4G ... what I mean in my question is a program that would turn on 3G data mode (phone can work both in 2G and 3G, so set it to 3G) AND activate MOBILE DATA (meaning the phone can use the network operator data).

I am quite aware of what Mobile Data is. But your point is that Mobile Data means any 2g/3g/4g and you want to turn on 3G and Mobile Data? How does that make it more clear, exactly? If you have 3G on, then you are using your Mobile Data from your network operator / cell phone company.

Unfortunately no man, no. I'm 100% sure that I've perfectly explained everything. So it's a question of smartness.

Just because you don't understand something doesn't mean that it isn't perfectly explained.

Edit:
The point is, what you are wanting to do might make sense in your head, but you are not articulating it in a way anyone is able to figure out. I've asked quite a few friends into phones and no one else has understood either.
Hello,
I am running latest LineageOS. I can't seem to get more than about 50mbit on 4G (with ookla speedtest), with same SIM card, on an iPhone7 I get about 150mbit consistently at same location. I am not sure if this is related to 4G+/LTE-A not functioning. I see only LTE text on the top bar.
In another note, a friend of mine is running original OS and he says he gets 50mbit on wifi with max2, with his iPhone7 on same wifi accesspoint he gets 80-90mbit. (he couldnt test 4G because of bad signal quality in his location),
So, first of all, how can I tell if my phone is using 4G+/LTE-A or not? Do you get better 4G speeds?
How can I test where is the bottleneck exactly? Any hints?
Update:
I now made more tests. Cheap Chinese tablet with mtk6797 chip does about 100mbit in the same location.
At home I tried 5g WiFi and when phone said 433mbps, the download speed from samba server was about 48mbit (server is connected to wifi ap directly with gigabit Ethernet)
Thanks!
Noop, I am on T-Mobile, 100m+ on band 4 all the time
@cgigate which max2 model you have? which OS are you using? and which modern/baseband version?
My provider use band 3 but I don't think it is the issue. Because I get similar result with WiFi which is very strange. Also, do you see LTE+ or something different than LTE as connection icon?
@cgigate I think you must be sitting next to antenna all the time. I managed to get 80mbit when base station antenna was 50m away from me and I was very close. My provider use B3 and B7 which should be supported with any version of max2....

I own two MAX 2 (x820 and X829), both are same on stock 23s.
yes, my house near a good t-mobile towers for sure ...especially on band 4, sometime on band 2 or 12 , those bands are much slower...
@cgigate can you check my previous post? I had some questions for you there how do you see which brand you are on?

You cannot see the band actually. You know the band you are on by knowing what your network provider uses.

Use LTE discovery APP and turns on "Live" mode you will see the real-time which band you are on, see my screen capture you will know I am on LTE band 2

Do you need root ???
I use the same app on lineageos and it needs root.
But I am not sure still why my max2 is performing so bad.
Anyway, I downgraded my service connection speed to 21mbit now and have no more speed problems I think there is some sort of problem in max2 which is causing this.

No root needed for "LTE discovery" app to get band info

No, "LTE discovery" app dose not need "root" to get RF band info on lineageos
although, there is option to choose "root" from the app to get more info. but if you only want to know what band you are on , no "root" needed
@cgigate if I dont select the root option. It only shows me the signal strength. I don't quite understand how everything works for you and nothing works for me lol.
See the screenshots with it selected and not selected. I also attached one from phone info...you tell me if anything is different? I really dont understand how this can happen....
@cgigate can you send screenshot from your phone info? or what os are you using and what is your baseband modem firmware version?
