[Q] WCDMA preferred vs GSM AUTO PRL - HTC One X

Goodmorning guys and galls,
How you don't flame me because of this, but I found this from a thread in another forum from Nexus One
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=688492
My question is, do you guys have any experience with this on your HOX?
though the settings menu you can find this option:
*#*#*4636#*#* ---> phone info
Please let me know how you think about this :laugh:

I would like to know with regards to the HOX, as I used this on previous HTC handsets, essentially it prefers 2G more, 3G when needed, so saves on allot of battery, just did not thing it was for the HOX.

Go in to the phone app
type in *#*#4636#*#*
Select 'Phone information'
scroll down to the bottom
in the 'set preferred network type' select 'GSM auto (PRL)'
then press back to return to your home page.

It problem with this is that you have to do it on every boot

If u go to settings and click on the mobile data u can change it from there instead of using the testing menu.
I use the auto setting due to it saving battery when in bad signaled areas but if u always have 3g or hspda then use the preferred opion and this will tell the phone to look for 3g istead of connecting to 2g then looking for 3g

You can just goto settings>mobile networks and select gsm mode from there.After that it won't reset after every reboot.

no LTE option in network selection

Hello Team.
I am running LG G3 with 10E.
in network selection i don't have the LTE option
The hack of tech code and enabling it works ok, but that is not a good way.
Is there any idea how to fix it?
thanks,

Thanks. that works *but* it does not survive restart nor adds this option to the list (it seems like a hack).
I wonder how others see this option permanently ??

Do you not have the LTE option at all, or does it just not stay selected?
If the latter then you can delete LTEConfig.apk from /system/app to fix.

After making changes, turn off the phone and wait for 15 seconds, and turn it back on.
Mine sticks (UMTS+LTE).
Hi all. I have The same problem in mine. No LTE or 4g menu appears.
Me too!
The AME phone that i have the LTE option doe not show in the normal menu.
Can i flash another region ROM to change this? I flashed the KDZ from the 10j GLOBAL, but it changed to 10j, but shows 10j AME not "GLOBAL" and still no LTE option except with the Hidden Menu RAT selection...

Just pointing out that I have the identical issue when selecting network settings. To enable 4G (LTE) I had to enable it in the hidden settings menu and then it connected as it should. By default I dont have that pop up in my list - I am thinking possibly it is due to my carrier. They are only just enabling 4G in certain areas of my country (2 Degrees, New Zealand) so may by default don't enable that option? I thought my phone had a no LTE function even though LG G3 is promoted as having it...so I can connect to the LTE/4G but only by using the hidden menu code 3854#*855#

Hi -Hopefully people are still reading this forum. I am rooted but the ltesetting apk will not delete. ES File Explorer says "cannot be deleted", Root Explorer crashes when I try to delete that apk.
Which method did you use to delete it?
Thanks.

Used ES explorer in root mode. You must be rooted though!!
Heh, funny thing, just today I realized I have the exact same problem.
Am running v10h though.
Update: I deleted LTEConfigs and it still resets upon reboot.
Hello, I live in Brazil and bought a G3 D855 (imported 32gb 3gb ram v10h-EUR-xx) here is the frequency in 2600 and am having the same problem here! Excludes the lteconfigs.apk and lteconfigs.obex file but not solved, could someone?

Dual Network manager stuck on 2G

I've got the HTC Desire 820t. The "Dual network manager" does not let me choose 3G for any of my SIMS. The option is greyed out. When I try the *#*4636#*#* option, I see Preferred network type is set to GSM Only. If i change it to GSM/WCDMA/LTE Auto then i can connect to 3G, but after a reboot it goes back to GSM only.
Any ideas on how to make this stick after a reboot?
did u manage to solve the problem ??
I also face the same issue with my 820u. Even if I try the *#*4636#*#* option, I can set the Preferred network type for SIM 1 only. If i wish to get 3G Data on SIM 2, I have to disable SIM 1 and then try the *#*4636#*#* option. When SIM 2 is connected to 3G data if I am enabling SIM 1, then both the networks automatically goes to GSM. l heard that many are facing this issue and feel that there is some software bug in the phone. Meanwhile, what is the Software number of your phone?
not able to access 3G network
Im also facing same problem in my 820 dual sim
So if anyone is having any solution please let me know

3G Connection Problem
I have streng problem. I can able to use 3G in India but when I am using 3G unable SIM out of India, I am not able to use 3G. The option to choose 2G/3G/LTE/Auto is disable.
But when I close SIM2 and use secret menu by *#*#4636#*#*, I can choose from GSM only to Auto mode and able to use 3G.
I also talk to HTC India customer care. They also doesn't know the issue.
But I am dam sure that there should be some BUG in their software.
Anyway, if anybody found any solution please post it here.
3G Problem solved
Recently HTC send software updates. The new software no is 1.22.720.1
This updates solved the 3G connection problem. Please check.

Hotspot performance

Hi, I live in a metropolitan area with generally good LTE signal (t-mobile/usa), and before the OPO3 I had HTCs, nexuses and a Z3. And I use the WiFi hotspot a lot. All the handsets in the past few years had performed surprisingly really well - same service, same place - i could stream HD youtube since 2010.
This one though is barely loading pages. Everything else works great. Is this normal?
when u r connected via ur mobile hotspot have u done the speed test through the device u r connected to and see what speeds u r getting
---------- Post added at 05:11 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:58 AM ----------
not as good as urs
it's like riding a comet..
oh and that verizon IP is there because i couldn't even load the test page, so i had to load it on my wifi, but i tested it connected through the phone

Ha so LTE gives me really slow data.. without even getting to the hotspot, I just switched it and it's like being on dialup.. Also why did you decide to set it to LTE?
Is it possible that we have different radios? This is what my network selections look like..

in the middle screen shot your choice should be the last one gsm/wcdma/lte
Do you have two sim card loaded? I have T-Mobile and I only have 2G, 3G and LTE option.
Edit: I was on epic.tmobile. changed to fast.tmobile and LTE ipv6. Maybe I'll get better data now. If I do, I have to retract my statement about slow data.

No mobile data on LTE

Hi,
I have a problem with my LG G3. I can't connect to mobile data, while network is connected to LTE. On LOS 14.1 everything is working fine. But on any stock ROM (v21a, v21c, v30b, v30d, v30n) phone is connected to LTE, but mobile data doesn't work. On CDMA only I have mobile data through 3G+ or H+. Reflashing through LG UP or flashtool doesn't help. Any suggestions? On custom ROMs LTE is working flawlessly, so it is clearly software issue.
Also enabling or disabling fast dormancy didn't help.
I found that the Access Point Name (APN) defined for my carrier on the phone didnt work. I had to manually define it - after which mobile data worked.
The simple answer is - some or all LTE bands are disabled. You have to enable it. To enable it:
1) go to play store and download "Network signal guru".
2) open the app with an active internet connection.
3)tap on the 3 dots on the top right corner.
4) tap on band locking.
5) tap on lte.
6) select all lte bands. Done.
No reboot required. If the network bars still don't show up, then reboot your phone.
Also make sure that you have the proper APN.
I have the same problem. I want to fix it without root.

All LG phones come with a hidden menu. To enable lte bands there. If it still doesn't work, try resetting network settings.
I bought an LG G3 about 6 months ago. Everything was great and everything was working until I rooted and changed ROMs to Fulmics ROM 5.6. I got back to stock (30b Global), because I didn't like it and I discovered that my LTE isn't working. Like I mean GSM/WCDMA provides me Internet but only (H and 3G), but when I switch to GSM/WCDMA/LTE auto it doesn't even try to connect to the internet. I flashed cyanogen 13, and other AOSP roms and guess what?! I had LTE. So then I thought, that if i have it on custom roms, i need to have it on the stock one. So I flashed about 5 versions of the stock rom and still no luck.
I still have guarantee, but will they do something else then reflashing the stock?
I've also messed about in the Hidden Menu with those fixes that I found on XDA Forums, but still.. No luck at all.
I really want to have fast internet (My carrier supports LTE, and on the box from the phone it has "LTE" on it. Is it possible to be a hardware problem or software? It's soo slow that I can't even upload this.
Also is there any way of fixing this issue without Root?

I'm assuming that you have full network bars and you only cannot access the internet.
Accessing hidden menu comes in use ONLY when no network bars are appearing after changing from GSM/HSPA to LTE and it also requires root.
If you ONLY cannot access the internet but have full network bars after changing to LTE, you have to change the APN in settings. APNs are carried specific, so they differ from carrier to carrier. APNs act like a gateway between the phone and the internet. So, APNs are necessary in order to use the internet.
To get your APN, open Google and search "apn settings for [carrier name] 4g"

First try claiming a replacement for your sim card. If it still doesn't work, ask for a replacement for ur phone itself.
With new SIM card the problem still exists.

T-Mobile help

I need your help guys and gals. Just switched to T-Mobile and my wife is the only one having issues. I had the phone unlocked and it does work but intermittently. The data will stop working at random even with correct apn settings. Sometimes the 4g lte indicator will be there sometimes not. Restart sometimes fixes, searching available network helps as well. Any help would be appreciated.
Mod please move to question. Put it in wrong place. Thanks.
Apn settings you need to manually set them
---------- Post added at 01:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:01 PM ----------
https://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-30273
Here is the settings above (link straight from t-mobile)
Also just an FYI in case that doesn't work... there has been issues with 7.0 active on t-mobile
Flash back to 6.0.1 (no root needed) and then set apn settings. However don't do that unless for sure your still having issues after going through everything else.
I have set all the apn settings. She is running 7.0, I will try 6 when she gets home.
Try this

This is not "S7 Active" specific issue. It is overall S7 issue on Android 7.0. You don't need to downgrade to 6.0.1. Just delete all the APNs (make it EMPTY!) -> Restart phone -> Add APN -> Restart. Problem solved.
---------- Post added at 05:26 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:23 AM ----------
If you get poor LTE coverage on T-mobile, you should switch to 4G instead. That way, you'll get better reception + you'll save little bit of battery life.
Dial *#*#4636#*#* on your phone dialer -> 'Device Information' -> 'Set Preferred Network Type:' -> Select 'WCDMA preferred' or 'Global auto (PRL)'
I used to get 1 bar on LTE, now I'm getting full coverage on UMTS. I'm on MINT SIM (they are T-mobile MVNO).
