I read somewhere that you can turn on just edge in our phone by dialing a number in the phone app but I cant remember what the number is or where I read it.. ha..
I did look it up here too and couldn't find it .. does anyone know what the code is ?

Why would anyone want to be on edge? i heard somewhere that being on edge significantly prolongs battery, i don't know how much though. Speaking out of personal experience, im really restricted being on edge. i cant even play Jenga with my girl.
Oh.. My show is back on...Gotta get back.. Commercial is over.

I'm on nexusmod 3.8 and when I go to mobile networks there are no options to change from wcdma or edge. Am I missing something? I have been wondering how this is done for a while now. Any help would be appreciated...

I've tried using this code before, but I don't know which settings work or how they work. Help?

I believe edge is faster than throttled "4g".

Is there a way to unlock this setting?
Search the forums. There's a way around it.
Sent from my SGH-I747M using xda premium
Golly thanks. Never would have thought of that. Any clues on which forums to search? The ATT forums pulled up nothing for me.
No way I've found around it.. don't know what he is talking about.

Search "GSLEON APN Unlock" in AT&T Development. I'd post a link if I wasn't on my phone.
Edit: Scratch that. Can't find it in there anymore. I'll see if I can dig it up.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda premium
Anyway if that is what you are talking about adding an non lte apn can be done but that is nit the same thing as unlocking it enabling manual network selection.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Tapatalk 2
Is it something in the SIM that locks it?
i would greatly appreciate if someone found it!
What are you guys trying to do with this? When I go through it seems to be unlocked I can choose att and T-Mobile and I'm on att network
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda premium
Where did you get the phone? I'm guessing from your sig you are rooted and running a non-ATT rom?
if you are talking to me i got my phone from att and i am using my att rom

Is that all it takes? Coolio. What is the best way to unlock? Also, I'm not worried about LTE vs 4G , just carrier selection.
oh im not unlocked either phone is just rooted running my rom
Would unlocking get carrier selection working?
I'm not sure I have carrier selection and I'm not unlocked

Just rub a little salt in the wound why doncha... lol. That is where I wanna be. I get into areas where the ATT signal is weak but present, and the phone will go on a roaming network. If I reboot it comes back up on ATT. Might have to go the root/rom route. Unless unlocking will get me there...
Status bar says I have 4G LTE but 5mbs? I've seen other people well beyond 30mbs.. 5mbs seems more like HSPA+..

Probably just the area. My HSpa+ speeds are so erratic lately.. sometimes I only get like 50kb per sec its horrible.. att needs to step it up and upgrade the network.
Sent from my SGH-I747 using xda premium
Some ROMs take away 4g.. I don't know about the ROM you're currently on, but mine has said I have 4G when I was really limited to 3G. I know this isn't much help, but I've had similar encounters and it was the ROM I was running.

It says LTE:14.
Just wondering for those with good speeds, which baseband are you running? I'm on I747UCLH9. And I hadn't had high download speeds since I flashed it.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda premium
When you go into menu settings more settings under the network tab, the default network mode is lte/cdma. My question is is that the best setting or do some of you think automatic would be better? Thanks.
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda app-developers app
Depends on if you have lte and use it. It could be left on cdma. That's what I do cause I have no 4g.

I think sprint can unlock the GSM radio inside the phone for whenever you go where there is no signal.
I could be wrong though.

Interesting. So gsm is like at&t and phones that use sim cards correct?
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda app-developers app
GSM is for international roaming. It uses the embedded sim card to access partner networks worldwide.
I like to break stuff!
I upgraded to stock MA6 and MA6 firmware(modem)
-I live in an area where there is no 4g lte- when Im on cdma only I can get internet connection
however when I switch to lte/cdma and open browser it says "no signal found for mobile networks"
why cant I connect on lte/cdma ?
Just stick with the CDMA I do the same I don't have LTE ether and when I pick lte/CDMA I have the same issue. Don't waste your battery looking for a network that is not available for you.

With some fanagaling I got Toggle2G to work (Google it) only problem was it would not automatically come out of 2G and back to 3G. There is a widget on the market that will let you toggle on the home screen (just don't leave it in auto lol )
