Best preferred network type for lte gnex?

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

Can I force LTE only on

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).

How to setup Verizon Wireless APN Settings for MMS

I can't believe this hasn't been stickied but this is how to apply the APN Settings to most ROM's that are Android 4.0+. Most ROM's have this information already baked in, some do not. I created this little tutorial not only for people that are new to this, but also for veterans who need a quick reference for the actual settings. Can we please get this Stickied?
APN Settings for MMS
1. Goto Settings
2. Under Wireless & Networks select "More..."
3. Select "Mobile networks"
4. Select "Access Point Names"
5. Press the Setting soft key
6. Select "New APN"
7. Select "Name" and enter "Verizon" and select "OK"
8. Select "APN" and enter "internet" and select "OK"
9. Select "MMSC" and enter "http://mms.vtext.com/servlets/mms" and select "OK"
10 . Press the setting softkey
11. Select "Save"
12. In the APN screen select your new "Verizon" APN
13. Finished

Yeah I'm surprised this hasn't been stickied yet. I can't tell you how many times I've seen this asked for.

+1 Mods, please make this a sticky! I'm always searching through threads to find this.

+ 2 cause it had already been + 1'd

Good stuff!

Thanks!! Im always looking for this fix!

Something else you may add to this, the method of updating towers when you can't use a keyboard. That might be handy also.

Still trying to get this stickied, I guess the MODS have moved on to other devices and don't hang around here much anymore.....

PLZ sTiCkY !!!!!
uber information that needs to be seen =)

okay guys, I have tried doing this and it kicks me out of APN back to the settings page. Every time. I have switched to phablet mode to stock and everything in between to try and be able to enter these settings. Is there anyway possible to do this without getting into the APN?

If you are looking for rom specific help you need to ask in that thread. I'm assuming you are trying pacman. I believe it has been addressed there already. But be sure you are hitting menu and save and not just backing out.

I believe someone mentioned a way to fix that. Something to do with clearing and rebooting maybe. Still this isn't the right thread for trouble shooting that rom. We don't want to clutter this thread with rom specific issues. Recheck that thread.
I'm on my way to work right now but it you don't find it ask in that thread and I will see if I can help later.

Goto post #526 in Paranoid/Pac thread and start there. I personally never had that problem with PA, or PAC.....but I have gone back to Psycho's Build 4 because I don't like the apps baked into PA and PAC....

3G? Why doesn't it say 4G/LTE?

I downloaded Phone Info and switched it back to LTE but it keeps on saying 3G. I'm on Rogers.

Phone info basically replaces the process of using *#2263#. I'd suggest uninstalling it, and manually:
1. In dialer, *#2263#
2. LTE band preference, LTE all
3. Menu key, end
4. Again in dialer, *#2263#
5. Select automatic
6. Menu key, end

Does not work for me either running stock rogers rom.... It dails it as a USSD code

ServiceMode
Im running NOTEorious Prime and I'm taken to a ServiceMode screen, however it reads "RAT Selection option is restricted"
any Ideas? I get 4g LTE here and there but its a hit and miss.

(Q) Option to change to LTE only?

Like on the Nexus 4 there is a dialer code and are able to change to LTE only or wcdma only etc...
They only give us 3 options to us through connection settings.
Reason for this is in certain places I know where I get lte it only gives me H+ and it isn't as fast. And at those times I'm not calling so I don't care.
Can any one please help me?

*#2263# enter that in dialer. Might work.

*#2263# enter that in dialer go to "[4] LTTE Band preference" then select lte band 4. hit the menu button and hit select. type the number 1.
also as you will not be able to make calls with this setting.

The better mode is LTE/WCMA (go figure).

I know thank you. When I'm at work lte is there on one bar and is faster than H+. and other places too.
Once I leave I switch back to normal.
The funny thing is that on my Nexus 4 it had better radio's sorta in a way as it almost always choose the fastest regardless if LTE was available.

Thank you for this information. Sorry if it's not obvious to me but is there a way to disable LTE using this menu? When I'm at work, it's constantly changing between LTE and HSPA+ as I walk about and it actually interrupts my data connection a bit. My HSPA+ speeds are more than acceptable to me.

In normal settings you go to more networks and choose mobile networks, then choose wcdma only.
