Yes. But when you do the dialer code there's an option for wcdma preferred also.

3g/4g won't go 2g/edge. I've always just used an app called Radio Switcher. Works great.

nice option.. i always wondered this!

this has always been available .. forcing 4g just uses more battery tho

It have the settings for that.
No need for 3rd Party apps.
Go to Menu-Settings-Security-Lock Screen-Select none.
Job done!

I'm pretty sure it's there so when you accidentally turn it on in your pocket, you don't go calling random people and burning thru the battery. Just sayin

Why would you use 3rd party app to disable a freaking lock screen. I wish it was simple as wm 6.5 registry edit that *****.

So Sprint forced my phone, in Delaware, to upgrade the prl just for changes in Cali. -.-
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda premium
Those were not the only changes and Sprint does not run regional PRLs. People travel these days and take their phones with them.

This does not effect your roaming in Delaware. And most of the time you wouldn't even notice the update. So your not forced.. And its nothing bad... Chill

I'm not mad or anything lol. But Sprint did force/push the prl to my phone. Just popped up and wouldn't let me do anything until it was done. That usually doesn't happen, so just thought it was weird.

That's the point. They always want the latest version the prl on your phone.

I'm only getting two bars in Plano. But it's plenty fast. Can't wait to see when I get full bars.

It looks like they might have rolled it out in Denver/Aurora CO too... Im really hoping this isnt just another test (already seen a few), its been working for more than a few hours, which makes me think it isnt.
I'm thinking a soft launch since it is spotty and unannounced. Maybe official by end of month. Tmobile store guy did say he was told by July is when Lte is deployed here.

Signal strong at work in Richardson.

Help With Sim Card

My phone keeps saying "no sim card" in the notification bar.
i used this guide to unlock: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=34661189&postcount=1
And recently activated my sim card with simple mobile.
I bought a mini sim from a local dealer and cut it into a micro sim.
Does this mean that my phone isn't unlocked?

You have to be on Stock Touchwiz 4.1 ROM to do the unlock.
Were you on stock Touchwiz?
Any AOSP based ROM will not work.

What is it supposed to say when you insert a sim that isn't activated yet?

Well if it isn't activated I don't think it'll pick up a signal/network at all... It probably did work but since its not activated it sees it as if it had no card at all..... That's my guess

Are these settings correct everyone?
