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

its a service menu for settings and testing purpose for the factory, I was hoping by getting into the service menu I would be able to turn off the LTE radio, but even in the service menu I can`t find anywhere to turn off the LTE radio.
Nuts. That's exactly what I was hoping to find, too. Turn off LTE for extra battery. Should be a no-brainer,but apparently not.

Ah ha! Changing it to WCDMA seems to lock it to just "4g" rather than "4g lte" and it's giving me hspa+ type speeds. Will have to see if battery life improves. Thanks!
So is there a way to make a shortcut or toggle for that?

enable applications from any source in dev options and install the "any cut" apk from the browser
freewarelovers.com/android/download/temp/1281882094_Any_Cut_1.0.apk
create a shortcut to "activity" and then "network mode" - voila! GSM/WCDMA actually turns off the LTE radio :laugh:

yes this worked perfect, my file I had to change in my phone was ro.radio.networkmod=disabled and mounted as R/w in system folder modified with text editior in Root explorer, ro.radio.networkmod=enable, and save file and exit and rebooted phone. then go in settings and networks ---> connectivity--->mobile networks--->network mode , then you have your network chioices.
Just be careful here. Several of us found that disabling LTE caused a ton of wakelocks and killed the battery. Test it and see.
Hopefully we can get that fixed with a ROM.

I am now convinced (and have told both at&t and lg) that this is due to fast dormancy.
I have not had any success disabling fast dormancy on a stock Rom rooted or not.
There IMEI change function in the service menu.
Is it really works??

I see again another North American Optimus G model that still has the same baseband version as all the rest. Is this implying that all the models should support 700, 1800, 2100 and 2600mhz LTE bands, they just have them disabled in software?

I turned it off for a day just to see and it seemed to get the same or worse battery. I think the longer waits to download things with the screen on longer outweighs the cost of LTE when idle. It did run a little cooler as LTE tends to heat things up. OS might have been a little more responsive too...although that could have just been me thinking I get better battery when using it. Biggest battery saver is Eco-Mode...when it is off this thing drops battery as fast or faster than the Atrix HD I had.
Hopefully FD or whatever is causing the Phone/Android System to use so much battery will be fixed soon and all will be good. Other than that and my back button giving haptic feedback and the OS not responding to it every now and then this phone is nice.
For those interested in getting to the Service Menu quicker I made an app for it- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=34766577
Does anybody know the difference between the end result of the "factory reset" option in the service menu and going thru the long, convoluted LGNPST method of restoring back to factory settings?

How did you open this on Bell? I can't for the life of me get service to open
- I open dialer
- Dial 3845#*973#
- nothing happens
- I hit green dial key
- A box pops up saying "USSD code running" for a second, then another one that says "Connection problem or invalid MMI code."
Tried eith 970, 971, 973... how are you guys getting this to work?
EDIT: I can't even dial '#06#' and get it to work... does this not work if you are rooted? Did I delete an APK i should not have? What APKs are responsible for loading these menus?
EDIT2: OK - so *#06# pops it up instantly... going to keep experimenting...
EDIT 3: So, it seems to me, that it has to do with timing. If you don't dial the codes fast enough they don't work... very unusual.
I just play with my S3 I747 and find out how to temporaly remove RAT restriction.
Click phone then punch code : *#197328640# ->Umts->Debag Screen->Phone Control->Network Lock->Rat_Free_Supporting ON
After you click this you see " Now RAT Free Supporting". Click back button and try setting radio by pressing *#2263#.
RTA will lock back after restarting.
could you explain what "RAT restriction" is and what removing it will provide?

Here is a thread that talks about RAT restrictions. It appears to have to do with restricting access to certain bands, but I am swimming in waters that are deeper than my skills will allow.

Any suggestions on how to make these changes permanent without rooting?
Since there is now a known code to lift restrictions until reboot, I hope some dev will figure out a way on stock based roms (both stock and mods), as well as AOSP based, to make it permanent. I have tried AOKP and CM10 in hopes the LTE and 2G toggles would work but no dice with AT&T SGS3.

Given the issue at hand, it is most likely a deeply embedded setting that will not be available to standard user base (non rooted), henceforth root access or even on a programming level will be needed to make the necessary changes. How the changes will be made available, if it is done, will depend on what was needed to make it permanent. This raises the question of where is this restriction coded into the AT&T SGS3. Is it firmware, ROM, SIM related, Radio? Seriously doubt it is hardware itself since there are ways to get around the restriction.

Testing this method now. So far I am running on 2G. I will give it at least a couple of hours and will update this post accordingly.
Update: I was messing around and decided to save this USSD (the official name of these secret dialer codes) in my contacts. From dialer you can start pressing *#1 and when it appears just press it. This gives quick access should you need to change radios often. I also want to add that instead of going back into *#2263# you can also select the band from *#197328640#. If you want to change it immediately, then once you get the confirmation "Now RAT Free Supporting" press the menu key on the left of the Home button. Select back and repeat again to go back again. Then, instead of choosing Network Lock choose Network Control-->Band Selection. This takes you to the same menu that *#2263# does and you can select accordingly.
@norbarb...perhaps you can update your OP to reflect that you can stay within the original selection instead of *#2263# and just go back twice to access the band selection. It is just one more way of doing things.
I also did the test of rebooting my phone. As mentioned by norbarb, if you have rebooted the RAT restriction is back in place. Regardless of which option you take to the band selection it will show RAT restriction until you follow the OPs steps again to remove restriction. Have not found a way for permanent removal of the restriction yet (I am optimistic and really want this permanent so I will look very hard to find a solution.). Also when I rebooted I had GSM 2G only selected prior and I kept the option upon reboot so only the RAT restriction is reset...not the network band settings.
Update 2: After 4 hours I am still on 2G Edge. I am in a very good LTE location so this is definitely the most promising outlook. I have found that I despite my love for the look of AOSP roms, the inability to turn on 2G at all will keep me with TW for now. Thankfully I do not mind the look of TW and with root, I can kill the Bloatware. I will look at all of the options in the *#197328640# menus and see if there is anything that may can be applied for permanent access. I also wonder if the secret to overriding the lack of options for network choices in *#*#4636#*#* will be here as well as this would more preferable to shut down LTE only.

Isn't the problem with doing this, say if you disable LTE and only select HSPA, it wont go to any 2G networks if you are out of coverage. Because its not on 'automatic', its on HSPA. So if you are out of a service zone of HSPA, then you dont have anything to fall back to.
If only there was a way to disable LTE, and use the other networks 'automatically'.

That is the problem. However, AT&T in their infinite focus on trying to force users to their networks of choice has purposely had the ability to do network selections disabled. Under normal circumstances in android devices the option of network selection is under settings and mobile networks option. This is removed I am sure at AT&T's request. The other way to access this is to use USSD *#*#4636#*#* in dialer and select "Device Information" which will give you an option to choose a network preference. While the USSD works the option to select network preference does not work.
At least with the option to unlock RAT and using USSD *#2263#, it gives some sort of ability to choose a network. For me this is perfect since I want the 2G only due to poor 3G and LTE signals at work. However you are right that it is not convenient if you just want LTE off. For the moment there is no known way to obtain this option on the AT&T SGS3.

Yep. I also think it's something to do with AT&T network setup. Because on AOSP ROM's we can't toggle LTE either. But the same ROM on a Canadian model phone will work just fine.
Even though the iphone has an LTE toggle. At least I read somewhere that it does.

It has nothing to do with the network setup...it is the carrier forcing restrictions on their customers. I have had three other android phones (including my wifes) in the last three years. All of them were restricted from choosing the network from stock rom. The moment I uploaded a ROM such as CM or other AOSP Roms I was magically able to do a network select. I even had to Windows phones (6.1 and 6.5) and both of them were stripped but with some registry edits I was able to add the option back to select between 3G/2G and 2g only. It is AT&T's way and they are notorious for it.
On a side note, I would not be surprised if AT&T is the primary corporate network that pushed for this network SIM lock ruling by the Congressional Librarian. Of all the carriers they have the most to lose.

I have been testing this for the last 4 hours and it does seem to work. Went to 2g only area and it switched perfectly to 2G and reverted back to 3g when I left the area. However I am not able to do GSM ONLY (2G only) using this method. You will have to follow the instructions on this thread for that.

It could result in battery savings and reduced dropped calls. For instance, I am often in and out of areas with little to no bandwidths under LTE. At default, my phone would always looking for an LTE signal which means my battery takes a pounding. By having my phone only look for 2G/3G, I do not take as large of a battery hit. Besides that, LTE does consume more power. For the most part I leave my phone with LTE off because the data speed is not crucial for me. At home I have a really fast WiFi network so it is better to be on it anyway while at home.

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.

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#

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?
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?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
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
