Anyone know how to keep "WCDMA preferred" on for our SGS2 using *#*#4636#*#* or ADB or a file? Upon reconnecting to TMo, it resets to PRL.
Can't search, on phone at school.
Safe.

Have a launcher that can add activity shortcuts like launcher pro and make one for "phone info" , which is located in "settings"

When in the "secret menu" (*#*#4636*#*#) there are a bunch of options. On the Verizon galaxy nexus what would you say is the best? I am using wcdma preferred right now.

I'm on GSM/CDMA auto (PRL)...
What is default?
I did not go in through testing, but downloaded a widget that if I click "4G" it takes me to "phone info" where i can select a "preferred Network Type". I am just curious what "default" is.
Thanks
@op, you should leave those options alone.
Default is the Auto PRL one.

If you want 4G, then cdma/lte (which is the default.) If you only want 3g, go cdma only

I have the Samsung Galaxy S2 X and I'm on 4.0.3 and certain apps like Poynt/Palmary Weather and some others cause my wifi to just drop and go to 4G, this never happened when I had my Incredible S?
My palmary works fine. Doesn't mess up the connection
I think i figured it out, when i did some internet searches it says that apartments that are heavy concrete or lots of metal plus phones plugged in too close to wireless modems can cause it so hopefully that's my issue?

Is there a way to force LTE as the only network my phone connects to? I have the network app that worked in my EVO 4G LTE but it doesn't seem to work on my GS3

Rooted Evo dead.
Rooted Evo shift dead.
Rooted Galaxy s3 alive and well!
I know that setting but is it a way to put the GS3 into LTE only mode and not just LTE/CDMA

My wife is with Verizon and theirs works the same way. She's always like, why won't it just stay in 4g? Different beast than WiMax (not that that wouldn't drop out like a trap door sometimes.)

Yes, you can do this in the hidden Data Programming menu launched from the stock TouchWiz dialer. You will need to know your MSL code:
In the Dialer enter ##DATA#
On the Data Programming screen select Edit
Enter your MSL
Tap OK
Select Others
Select HDR/1X Selection
Select "LTE Only Mode"
Tap OK
There is a major downside to this: You will no longer have voice or text service, only LTE data service (where available).

i have noticed in ViperDHD 2.0.0 rom there does not seem to be a manually way of entering apn's i have looked in wireless/networks settings
You have to press menu->new APN in the APN screen. It's not directly visible. Same way in most Android phones because it's like that in AOSP.

i don't have an apn screen anywhere in settings/wireless networks infact you cannot even search networks, not in the rom im using unless something's amiss
Settings->Mobile network. Tap on the text, not the toggle.

Edit: it's been too long since I've been on a stock ROM.
That doesn't help on AT&T based ROMs. That option would be removed

Your situation is exactly why AT&T is effing idiotic for removing the ability to disable LTE.

I'm on custom ROM and below procedure worked on mine (though I'm on LTE 100% of time).
I copied from some thread some time back
-----------
From the phone dialer enter: *#197328640#
Umts -> Debug Screen -> Phone Control -> Network Lock -> RAT_FREE_SUPPORITNG ON <- once you choose this option it will say "Now RAT Free Supporting" - this will allow you to change bands freely (no need to pull the SIM card) until your next reboot.
You can save *#197328640# in your contacts. I wasn't able to call the contact directly but from the dialer you can dial *#1 and it will pop up as a suggestion - you press that and it launches automatically. You can then go to Umts -> Debug Screen -> Phone Control -> Network Control <- this leads you to the screen you'd find in my original method with *#2263#
From here you can freely swap to whichever band you prefer and it will connect without a reboot required!
Note: After disabling RAT restrictions you can hit the menu button and choose back, twice. You'll then be at the menu list that includes "Network Control" aka *#2263# which is a little faster.

No. I tried on several myself just to verify (CM, AOKP, and a couple of others). It does work on AT&T stock ROM for certain though. It is the only thing that really keeps me from moving away completely from stock ROMS and/or other TW variants.

I was reading on another post which talked about the Note 2 and when I come to that menu.. I got this "RAT FREE SUPPORTING on" as option 4 while the other post said it should say.. "[4] NW LOCK NV Data INNITIALLIZ"....
What have I done wrong??
Mine is a AT&T i317 Note 2, but shouldn't this menu be identical for all variance?
Hope you can advise.
Thanks.
Im with Bell and I dont have the "RAT_FREE_SUPPORITNG ON" option. Any alternative ?
Thanks.
