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.

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.
Why is there a GSM setting

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!

Is there a way to unlock this setting?
Search the forums. There's a way around it.

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.

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.

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

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...
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.

Is there any way to improve my 4g reception?? When I'm at work my phone is constantly switching back and forth between 3g/4g and I'm sitting in the exact same spot in the building. This is very annoying cuz sprints 3G is worthless. Is there any i can do about this? Maybe some tweaks that could help me resolve this issue?? Or something in the build I could change?
Currently running Lifeless Rom (V14)

My phones did that at first when 4G was just getting started around here. And 4G signals and usually bad in buildings because of the bands that they use.

So are the bands something you can't change or modify?
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda app-developers app
Maybe try going to the hidden menu by dialing 3845#*970#, scroll down to the bottom of that menu and click "IOT Hidden Menu", from there select "system selection", network mode, then LTE only. Hopefully that forces you to stay on LTE and won't give it the option to switch back to 3G. Obviously you're going to have to go back into this menu and hit CDMA + LTE/EvDo auto if you want 3G access again.

Nope. That's up to the carrier.
sprints lte is currently on the pcs 1900 band, verizon and att is on 700. by the end of the year sprint plans to have lte on the smr 800 band also. so coverage will be about the same as verizon
Perhaps try different radios such as the zvb one.

Hello all,
I was just wondering if anyone knows how to set LTE only for the network connection after the 4.4.2 update.
On preivious verisions I could just go to the service menu and set it but that does not seem to work anymore.
And under network selection it only gives me cdma and gsm.
Anyone know how I can lock it into LTE by chance after the update?

Well that is both true and untrue. While the phone does have gsm hardware the gsm sim card is integrated into the phone. To use it on another gsm network you need their sim card. There are mods to change that but it is not for the faint of heart.
