Is there a way to change the default network mode? My phone always defaults to the first mode, LTE/GSM/WCDMA (see first screenie), but I get significantly better LTE signal on the top mode, LTE/CDMA/EvDO/GSM/WCDMA (as seen in second screenie). SO, I'd like to have the first ad a default.
Now I realize my findings may be off. It may be that both modes handle LTE the exact same way or that maybe the LTE on LTE/GSM/WCDMA just kicks in the LTE when I switch from it. So, if there is a deeper issue, please chime in.
All I know is, when it's on the current default, my phone doesn't stay connected to an LTE tower as well as if I choose the first one in the list.
Thanks for any suggestions.

Any 3rd party app suggestions? Is it a build.prop issue?

Since flashing the new dark side kernel I get weird behavior from the mobile radio. It will show full bars of 3g then when I use the browser ,for example, it jumps to full bars of 4g(H). This happens with any network activity over cellular radio.
Is this normal behavior, .....for battery conservation?
Also in "settings"- then "mobile networks",...the "preferred network mode" is set to 'wcdma".
Should I use default setting or the other choice ,which is "LTE/GSM".
Thanks.
Any ideas. Anyone have same behavior? This is not really a problem, just unusual.

Use wcdma. T-Mobile doesn't have lte. And I don't think it's kernel related. I honestly think it's just that the ui isn't updating during sleep. Plus it naturally should go to 3g when not in use. Look up fast dormancy. I honestly don't think it's anything to worry about.

Thanks.Thanks for confirming. Both settings seem to work the same.

Hi guys, my friends having an issue with this note 2. His mobile data speed seems to be slow even when we're on the same network and we think it mightxhave something to do with his radio being on gsm/cdma preferred as compared to my gnex wcdma preferred. Is there a way to change this? I think the hidden menu is also accessed differently. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

The only thing i can think of trying is the phone info app from the play store, i believe you have to be rooted but not positive on that.
as with everything use the app at your own risk as you're messing with the radio connectivity.
Just checked on my S3 and it doesn't look like the phone needs root, give it a shot.
Go to device settings inside the app and scroll to the bottom you'll see the options to change the settings
Doesnt eork unfortunately... what about how to get to the hidden menu?

Bought my phone form Rogers. LTE was working fine.
Was going to USA and paid an online company to send me unlock code.
Used it and went using Tmobile which only has EDGE data.
Just got back swapped back in my SIM From fRogers and can only get EDGE speeds.
Tried reboots rmoving SIM card.
Also made sure settigns were correct for Rogers APNs and also that toggle was on for GPS/HSPA/LTE.
To no avail.
Briefly, I toggled on and off the apn setting from ROgers LTE to tethering LTE and low and behold it seemed to work.
But now it is back to stuck on EDGE and nothibg I am doing can help.
Can this be a byproduct of the unlock?
Is my LTE faulty?
I s there some hidden menu where perhaps a setting can be changed for a fix?
I am depserate as the alternative is to return the phone and they are on backorder everywhere now.
have you gone into settings> more settings> mobile newtorks>and taken a look at your access point names and your network mode?
yes
I even confirmed with Rogers and settings are correct
Are there any service mode type ways to switch on/off data? Maybe I inadvertently did something
What area you in now and was before.
Did you tried different locations like out of your house,work, out of city.

Try setting it to WCDMA only, and then use the network operators button to search for networks

Will try this again. though not sure of that option.
for me under network mode it gives me choice of GSM
HSPa
BOth with auto connect
or those two with LTE auto connect.
Right now if I try to select HSPA only ct it does't change and reverts to GSM/HSPA/LTE (auto). Seems it will only accept a choice that allows it to default back to Edge (GSM)
Anyone know if there are some deeper settings to

If I change the sim and put it in my old s2 I get 3g speeds right away so I should at least be getting that and I know form the day I got it that LTE was working well in my home.
it depends on what they flashed maybe they flashed a different antenna because the freq's of the tmo version are diff than the rogers version
Wasn't a flash. It was an unlock code for Rogers entered at the invalid SIM screen. They were not told which network I would be using it

Try resetting factory settings again, and flash this Rogers modem.

Can I flash the modem if I am not rooted.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk
Does flashing the modem show evidence of such?
I.e if this attempt at a fix fails my recourse is to return the phone as defective. Don't want there to be any evidence of tampering that could void my warranty
You can flash modem.without rooted.
Zip.file.modem.through cwm or .tar modem file through Odin.
And if you are under 14 days of purchase, reset your phone to get your log minutes under 30.
But I guess you.won't need to do.that, flashing.modem and reset should work.

Well did factory reset before risking modem flash.
Low and behold while i had to reinstall and setup everything again, LTE is now working again.
Not sure what happened. Will ultimately root at least to back things up.
I've never had an issue with T-Mobile until the last month, and I thought maybe my Note 2 was going wonky but the Note 3 does the same thing. Basically it likes to mostly switch from LTE to EDGE or even GPRS sometimes, and it's driving me insane. If you do *#2263# in the dialer it brings up the network settings and you can force LTE/WCDMA only, but then it never drops down to the battery saving UMTS, which I want to do. There has to be a way to just plain disable EDGE/GPRS completely, or at least change the priority to where it doesn't ever go to those unless it has zero signal of either HSPA, UMTS or LTE. Any ideas?
/sadface. Bump just in case no one saw this.
WCDMA=UMTS
*#*#4636#*#*
Choose phone info
Set to WCDMA only
You won't connect to lte this way but it'll disable the fallback to edge/gprs.
Also, I'd change your apn settings to use the epc.tmobile.com apn instead of the fast.tmobile.com if
you're going to force wcdma.

I have a rooted, s-off Verizon htc one m8 that has its noble networks very messed up. I often go into Pimp My Rom to access the phones hidden settings and force 4G when my 3G is too slow. But for some reason about half of the network options immediately switch to a different option. When LTE is selected and I try to switch to EvDo it flashes EvDo for a fraction of a second and then switches to LTE. When auto it on (which includes EvDo) it never switches to 3G. I fear I will never be able to use 3G which is the only service available at my house. I was also playing around with the three radio bands, another setting in that menu. Nothing seemed to change and I don't even know what those are.
On a side note, is there any way to check the status of htc security (s-on/off)?

Boot into bootloader, and it will say either s-on or s-off in one of the top few lines.
What ROM? If a custom ROM, you sure its one that supports Verizon?
Its stock
