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

also in the mobile networks click automatic connections if urs is unchecked.!

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 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?

You can go settings and turn off automatic network selection. Then just choose whatever network you want on the manual network.

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

That totally worked! Thanks a million! I downloaded Phone Info because I wanted to switch to 3G to save battery.
Again thanks!

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.
Is there any way to turn off Lte on stock att S3? I'm in a bad area where it switches from Lte and faux G constantly. Draining battery fast! Thanks.

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.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747
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.
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 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.
