I've noticed in the menu options, there is an option to keep the phone in 2G mode only. On the other hand, is there any way to keep the phone in 3G / 3.5 / 4G mode? Any software that can do this?

The phone will only switch to 2G if faster speeds are not available. The 2G mode option allows you to prevent the phone from switching to faster (and more battery consuming) data connections....
From the dialer, you can type in *#*#4636#*#* to bring up some "secret" settings. From there you can configure your phone to only use 3G.

How about if I don't want 2G at all and want it to stay 3G only, even if there is no signal? I remember this option on the SGS 2..

You do what chrono just said and the hidden menu let's you force 3g only. *#*#4636#*#* on the dial pad.

Go into phone info. From there if you scroll down a bit you will see a text that says something like "GSM/CDMA auto". Press that and you should get a drop down menu. Change the setting to "CDMA only". That should work.

Not sure how that disables 2G (1xRTT). Unless I'm mistaken, both 1xRTT (2G) and EVDO (3G) run on top of CDMA.
Also, you can get to this from settings->wireless & networks->More...->Mobile Networks->Network Mode
There you can select LTE/CDMA or CDMA.
And it always sticks
Wondering if there is a way in the network settings to force 2G ONLY or 4G?
WDCMA Preferred
GSM Only
Something like that?
Only way is dialing *#*#4636#*#*
And selecting it there.

This app is much faster than dialing:

I use it all the time to quickly change from HSPA to EDGE.
You're welcome.

Is there a way that i can completely disable 2g netwroks and use 3g only on my GSM galaxy nexus
PS:I'd rather have no internet than using 2g network

Think you have to be rooted. Install the app Advanced Signal Status and under "additional info", then "device info" you can choose for different options.

when I am using my galaxy note 3, I input *#2263# to go to a menu where I can force LTE/WCMA my device and mostly it connects to only LTE.
in the Galaxy tab S , the code works but the option for LTE only is missing. so now I continuously connect to a slow 3g network.. bummer...
*UPDATE:
apparently you have to deselect all GSM bands and just select all LTE and WCMA bands.. you wont be able to use GSM bands but your device will lock on to LTE connections if avaialbe, 3g will apply if LTE is unavailable. hope this helps
Hi, I have a LG G4 H818N LTE model with dual sim running firmware v10c.
According to the mobile carrier, they support 900MHz and 2100MHz, yet I am unable to obtain 4G connection on my phone. I have enabled the option in the sim settings for "4G/3G/2G" on the SIM that I want to use for data and set that sim as the sim to use for data connection but it still only connects at H+.
Perhaps the carrier is using Cat 6 LTE. Is there a way to enable Cat 6 LTE on the H818N?
Is there a way that I can test LTE connectivity on the phone or are there perhaps any settings that I may have missed to force LTE connection?
I previously had an LG G3 D855 which connected to 4G without any issues.
Is there a file where I can manually edit the 4G bands for my phone?
Finally, slightly off topic. Can anyone explain to me what a KDZ file is?
Assistance would be highly appreciated. Thanks.
mine has a working LTE on both sim 1 and sim 2 but not simultaneously. i found out that the apn is alittle bit buggy. check your apn and set the primary.
Thanks, would you mind walking me through the steps that you followed please?

Hi all, thank you so much for the answer. I'm actually having the same problem with my LG G4 H818N. I'd be grateful if anyone can advise what kind of setting I should choose for my phone to work on Vodafone UK 4G network. I'm so frustrated to pay 4G plan but only get up to H+

Can't provide link as using xda app, but Google 'wiki Europe lte bands' and it should come up with what you want. I'm on three UK and there was two different bands to try, turned out to be band 3 for me. Hope this helps

Sorry for my late reply! I did Google however, Vodafone is on Band 20. When I choose this option, it said Fail. Is anyone know why?

Thanks. I just tried in the FieldTest -> Network Mode-> set SIM 2 to GSM 850 and try Band 20 again under the LTE Band Selection, but still Fail.
Are these steps correct?

However, I only have 1 SIM inserted at the moment. In order to change to Band 20, does it need to have 2 SIMs inserted and follow your instruction?

I'm having a similar issue with my 818N. I can't get 4G/LTE.
Has anyone worked out why or how to fix it?
The hidden menus don't allow me to select lte bands they all just say fail after I select them.
In the RAT menu I am unable to select LTE only, it also fails.
It's as if LTE is disabled?
I tried installing 818P software into the phone which worked fine however I still couldn't connect to 4G.
I give up
It turns out that my phone was faulty and I've returned it to HK for a full refund. DWI were good to deal with and were fast to refund me my money once they confirmed that it was DOA.
