I have very bad LTE reception at my house. 3g is great. So, usually I keep the Mobile Network to 3g as LTE drains battery for lack of signal. However, as soon as drive to the main road, LTE is full signal.
I purchased Tasker a long time back. Can I use Tasker to:
a. Switch to LTE as soon as I am some distance away from my house
b. Switch to 3g as soon as I am within some distance from my house
Any help/ pointers to do that with Tasker on a Nexus 5 will be appreciated. I am stock, rooted with xPosed and GravityBox setup.
You must be rooted.
Step 1: Download Secure Settings
Step 2: Open the app, go to Options and scroll down to Custom ROM Actions and ensure that "LTE" is checked
Step 3: Select new task > select task name (for example "LTE on")
Step 4: Select "+" button . Plugin > Seccure Settings > Click Configuration > Custom ROM Action > Select LTE.
Step 5: Select new task > select task name (for example "LTE off")
Step 6: Select "+" button . Net > mobile Data 2G/3G
Step 7: Create new profile by Clicking "+" sign and select location in Context.
Step 8: Set your location where you want to use 3G. Make sure to select desired Radius. Press Back button.
Step 9: Select task "3G"
Step 10: Long press on profile name > Select exit task > select LTE task name
You're done. I hope this will help.

Thanks. When I go to Net > mobile data 2g/ 3g I see a message that I need to be on a custom rom.
Some ROMs do not let change the Mobile Data by default.
There's another work around.
Step 6: Replace the action with any other actions like alert, notify etc.
Keep your 3G data on and only select LTE task in Exit task.
So your device will perform Task of Step 6 till you're in specific location and as soon as you leave that place it will switch to "LTE on" task.
Turns out I cannot enable step 2...enable LTE in secure settings plug-in. Any workarounds?
No Tasker workaround/Use apps from Play Store

Sorry dude,
Till my knowledge is concern there's no other workaround with Tasker but there are few apps that lets you switch LTE/3G/2G.
Check "SwitchPro Widget" (by Leo) or "Power Toggles" (Painless Apps) in Google Play Store.
It lets you create widget on your home-screen so you can switch instantly between networks. :fingers-crossed:

I have xposed + gravitybx. That allows me to toggle 4g. I wanted something to do it automatically.

I have added few numbers to black list.Now I want to remove them but I don't remember the number(s).I thought to remove all numbers from black list but How?
Your thread subject needs to be more descriptive...
Go here: Settings > Call > Call rejection > Black list
Then you have several ways to go about it:
A. Just uncheck the items you no longer want blocked.
B. Long-press on each item you want to delete to popup a menu to Edit or Delete.
C. Press Menu key then tap Delete. Then check all the numbers you want to delete and tap Ok.

Installing Xposed Module X tether for free native tethering
-As you may have read, you will need to be rooted and you will need to have Xposed Framwork installed.
-I do not know how many carriers this will work with, This has been fully tested on Samsung Galaxy s7 sprint (Marshmallow)
1. Go into the Xposed app
2. Tap on the 3 dashes in the upper left corner
3. Tap on the tab that says "Download"
4. Search for the module "X Tether"
5. Tap on the X Tether module
6. Tap the tab that says "Version"
7. Tap "Download" on the newest version
8. Then go back to the panel that has the option "Modules"
9. Tap the check box next to the "X Tether" module to activate it
10. Reboot
11. Bear with me here is gets a little more complicated
12. No that Xtether is installed and activated, we are going to edit a data base file to be able to use the native mobile hotspot
13. Download SQLite Editor app from the playstore (it does cost money, and there are probably others that can do it but this worked for me) https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.speedsoftware.sqleditor&hl=en
14. Open SQLite
15. Tap the tab that says "Files"
16. Navigate to /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases
17. Then tap "telephony.db"
18. Then tap "carriers"
19. Look for the 2 lines that say "APN2 LTE internet" and "APN2 EHRPD internet"
20. Down those lines under "type" they both say "default,mms"
We will be changing it to say this
21. Tap on "default,mms" then tap the pencil in the upper right of SQLite. This will enable you to edit this setting.
22. Scroll down until you see the type "default,mms"
23. edit this to say ""default,mms,dun"
24. Tap save
25. Do this for both "APN2 LTE internet" and "APN2 EHRPD internet"
26. Exit SQLite and restart your phone
You can now enable the hotspot as if it were part of your service plan. If you go into to you settings>Hotspot and Tethering
Happy Tethering
How to change LTE band on Samsung S20/+/Ultra
Works on both chipsets.. I saw this tip on the board so I decided to make a clear instruction note on how to use it.
Download QuickShortCutMaker from the Play Store:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...shortcut&hl=en
Run the app:
Go to Call Settings
Then select the LAST:
Call Screening option should right after Call Screen Emergency and one up CAMERA
Click on TRY
Click on Top left menu ≡
Select Band Selection
Take a screenshot to make sure you can come back to factory settings in case you have issues.
Pick the band or bands you want, toggle the SELECTION button on the right up corner.
Go back.
You are all set.
I suggest rebooting the phone but this is totally optional.
REMEMBER: YOU ARE DOING THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK.
: go to Play Store download 2 app :
+ Samsung Band Selection
+ speed test
2: open app Samsung Band selection => LAUNCHER BAND SELECTION
View the network in automatic mode is ok
3: open app Speed Test and try network speed
4: open app Samsung Band selection => LAUNCHER BAND SELECTION
Look at the list and select GSM/WCDMA and hide the samsung Band selection app and open the Speed Test app to try the network speed
Done
5 : open Samsung band selection app
Look at the list and select network type " Band selection mode "
Press repeatedly on o it 5 times to 10 times and last click select network type " Automatic "
( repeatedly press "band selection mode" and last click automatically )
Done
Open app Speed Test and try test network speed
Network speed will be very fast .
Good luck
Sorry I speak English very badly

Hello,
It's quite simple, but has a tradeoff: You cannot use the phone during the process because the method only works with the menu open (you can turn off screen, obviously)
Steps:
1: Go to phone dialer and dial *#899#
2: Tap on "manual test"
3: Tap on "charge and discharge mode"
4: Tap on "charge"
5: Set the desired % and tap on START
Lock the screen and enjoy, phone will stop charging at the percentage you selected
Thank you, worked like charm
