Go to phone dialer, dial *#2263#.
Select LTE, then ALL. Now you're in LTE only mode. To revert, select Automatic at the first menu.

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.

Doesn't stick all the time for some reason. Same with atrix. And other phones.

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
Hi all, I just got my SIII and it is badass! but i am wondering if there is a way to set this phone so that it will only use 2G network so I can save some battery. Every other android phone had this option, so when i went to go look for it on this SIII, its not even there. any answers will be great! thanks
I'm assuming you have T-Mobile? If so download an app called "phone info". Open it and go to Device Information. On the bottom there's a dropdown currently on "GSM auto". Select GSM only instead. If you want 4g only the select WCDMA only. Back out of the app. You can accomplish the same by dialing *#*#4636#*#* in the dialer.

Is there any way to force roaming without root?
I haven't found a way to force roaming with root, let alone without. Not even manually update the prl.. I miss my evo3d with corporate prl and roam control
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda premium
Yeah is there any way we can? I definitely need that in one location
Sent from my LG-LS970 using Tapatalk 2
With root roam control should work. It will only be 1x until we can load a corporate prl though.

The website said LG phones aren't supported though?

Do you guys think we can use this method on our LGOG also?

This is my first lg.. didn't know that.
I'm not savvy enough to try it but someday perhaps. As of now I think if we just request it from the roam control developers they may try
Sent from my LG-LS970 using Tapatalk 2
Any ideas? I've even tried Roam Control (root), but it doesn't work. I've also tried using the Optimus S (LS670) hack, but no dice either,
Update: Also tried looking at the Hidden Menu from here, nothing that jumps out as far as roaming.
So I think I stumbled onto something, thanks to this 2010 page. I found this because I was getting tired of getting no signal while my coworker (Verizon) had 3 bars at a conference room.
By following the steps below, you acknowledge that you do this at your own risk, don't abuse or Sprint may get mad, YMMV, all your base, etc...
To try to force roam
1. Go into the hidden menu by "dialing" 3845#*970# (from this thread)
2. Scroll all the way to the bottom, go to "IOT Hidden Menu"
3. "CDMA Setting" -> "CDMA Preference"
4. Under "Band Setting", choose "Cell Only". From the initial link (July 2010):
this forces only 800mhz CDMA, which is typically NOT Sprint, though if you are in a rare area where Sprint has 800mhz, it will lock you onto the 800mhz band, which can traverse better than the 1900mhz PCS band. In most areas you will notice it switch to roaming.

To change it back to the original settings,
1. Go into the hidden menu by "dialing" 3845#*970# (from this thread)
2. Scroll all the way to the bottom, go to "IOT Hidden Menu"
3. "CDMA Setting" -> "CDMA Preference"
4. Under "Band Setting", choose "Any" (default value).

While messing with the setting in the hidden Menu.
I unlock the T-Mobile LTE Network on My US Cellular GS3
Internet: T-Mobile US LTE
Band: LTE:14
Data Speeds 20mbps down 3.6 mbps up
Mms: Works Flawless
Now My Problem. i cant make a phone call or receive a phone call
My Setting
Hidden Menu: *#22745927

WAIT 90 SECONDS THE REBOOT
VOILA! TMOBILE LTE.
Now i have succesfully unlock The Verison GS3 to Tmobile on Edge is there a way to port that radio. to get cell connectivity.
or if anyone want to try to tweak these settings to get more than just LTE connection. or get Voice over LTE working!
I do believe that you need the HSPA radio to make phone calls as T-Mobile does not yet support VoLTE.

What are you doing for apn setting? There are 3 for tmo-us that I know of. 1)gsm 2)lte 3)lte ipv6. You may have to down load an apn app. Apn manager pro worked well for me or offline sim apn database. Not sure what you use for network mode settings but use build prop editort open it up and find the settings telephony.lteoncdmadevice & telephony.lteongsmdevice use value 1 on both. Add lines if not there. This may open up more network types under setting/...network mode. Google build prop edit or tweaks to find more info. Good luck.
i535 radio/modem
Been thinking about you question to swap modems. Do not use the i535. The modem that would be ideal I believe is the r530m. That is metro PC variant. T-Mobile merged with the.... Do I need to explain more? Any how I can not say it will even work. I will say that T999L is no good. Found out first hand and still dead in the water with it. I would explore the APN settings and network selection modes with build prop mods before flashing. I am not even sure about the LTE bands and who has what and where. If I am able to revive my 530u I will see what I can find.
Where can I get the r530m modem? Can't find it anywhere.

So, is it possible to flash the R530M modem????
Sometimes the phone jump to 2G (EDGE) for no reason while HSPA and LTE work perfectly.
Here is the solution (and it will stay after power cycle):
Dial *#*#4636#*#*
Phone Information
Scroll down to network mode and choose "LTE/WCDMA"
Reboot the phone immediately.
This method works for me.
Almost, its *#*#4636#*#*
Trying to do this on my D855 international G3, on lollipop, but can't get into the phone information .
*#*#4636#*#* works, but when I click on Phone Information, an error is given 'note this application does not work on this device' . I suspect a changed lollipop radio/Rom thing.
Any idea on how to achieve this another way?

Did you manage to fix it?
is there a solution for this on asop (euphoria 7/06)?.... after a call it goes to 2g and it "never" switches back to lte
New method:
Dial 277634#*# and you can get in Hidden Menu -> RAT Selection.
Typing 3856#*855# into the dialer allowed be in, then choose LTE, then RAT options.
Using the G3 D850 (AT&T) for t-mobile but it rarely conects to 4G LTE, it's usually on 2G, tried doing the above, with the *#*#4636#*#* code came up a error that I can't access that app, and in the hidden menu I couldnt find where/how to set WCDMA or LTE only, any new way to do this?
Qwerty when in hidden menu choose LTE-ONLY > then >modem setting> then > rat selection works on my g3
