Network Settings

Okay, I'm pretty sure this was just a fluke because I cannot find how to do it anymore, but I thought it was pretty neat. When I went into call settings and networks, it let me choose between a list of LTE, Maritime (3g), and 2g. I have read that there is a setting in the hidden network settings that deals with this, but have been unable to change the settings. Has anyone else run into this settings menu? I was just playing around with the phone, and there it was, now it is no more. Maybe. For those that have no LTE coverage, I bet this could really help with battery life.

That's what I thought it was, too. But, unless I'm being totally oblivious to something, it does not show up there anymore. The only list to show up is the APN list which I'm able to populate with full network settings, but what I'm talking about was the ability to switch between LTE, 3G, and 2G on the fly. I wish I would have gotten a screen shot. Can you do a screen shot of what you are talking about?

Nope. I don't have that. I have the lt28at, btw. Is that the international version? That's not even the screen that I got when I got into those settings. Mine was not a pop-up, it was another screen of its own. It listed "LTE" (not sure if it had 4G next to it or not) then it had 2 different "Maritime 3g" settings, then 2g. I remember this specifically because I thought the word Maritime being in there was odd. My network settings page is attached.

Go To Settings/Xperia and Click on Internet Settings.

Who's your telco?
Are your APN settings correct (Settings -> More... -> Mobile Networks -> Access Point Names)?
Do you have the right network type settings set (Settings -> More... -> Network types, and/or dial *#*#4636#*#* -> Phone information -> Set preferred network type)?

Hey thanks for getting back to me. Sorry I forgot , I am on ATT. newbie to all this so not quite sure about all that APN stuff

Go into setting/more/mobile networks/network mode and make sure either lte option is selected as well as in access point names make sure att&t lte is selected

Check your APN settings and since you're on AT&T just Google "AT&T APN settings" and it should be the first link. I'm still new so I cant link yet. :/

Same problem here and connection to LTE is very intermittent. I'm on Telus and I've tried both the LH1 and LK4 modems to no avail. It always connects to 3G or H+ and then tries to connect to LTE and I see the following "dead" signal bar:

HTC International version, No Network Signal issue

Hi, I buyed HTC ONE X from aliexpress (from International version seller say). Phone work ok, but there is not network signal. I live in romania, I tried to unlock bootloader and install cyanogen mod v.12 but nothing changed. In country side there is 0 signal, in city there is 3 from 5 antenna but phone show "!" sign under antenna and it don't accept manual settings also I tried to install LTE SWITCHER to switch to GSM Only and it always goes back to wcdma preffered, so setting are not saved. I saw that there are other people on forums, I haven't find a solution, I already have TWRP installed and don;t want to try dozens of roms.
I have Meizu M2 Note buyed, new brand phone, and it works great here on country side withm 2g, 3g and even 4g.

Are you flash the boot.img from CM12?

Will it allow you to set the APN or is that in the manual settings you can't access? Correct APN settings for network provider might do it.

OneUI 3.0 removed the Radio Info activity, so now I can't force LTE Only anymore. Please help.

The network at my place is really spotty. If I don't set the network as LTE Only, it keeps fluctuating between LTE and 2G, and it's as good as having no network because calls keep getting dropped, even as they're being answered. Please help.

I'm in the same boat as of lastnight.. used to use an app to force LTE. Tried several different apps and my device is not compatible they tell me.... Really sucks

So I've been fighting with this all day, and just found a solution. I'm using a Google phone app instead of the Samsung one. I put a code in that I remember using years ago on a nexus device. *#*#4636#*#*.
Got me to the correct menu, back to LTE forced. Won't work on my Samsung dialer tho for some reason.
Hope this helps.

I found the solution! They renamed the Radio Info activity to Phone Info, and they moved it to the Phone app from the Settings app! Download Quick Shortcut Maker, then create a widget of QSM on your launcher, then in Phone (com.android.phone), scroll down and select Phone Info (com.android.phone/com.android.phone.settings.RadioInfo), then name it as per your wish, set the icon of your choice, and then click create.
Congratulations! Now you can set your phone to "LTE Only"!

Android 11/OneUI 3.0 sure seems to have a lot of bugs, causing issues everywhere you look.

you can use an apk called netmonster to give you acess to phoneinfo.

Question Can't switch 5G off since updating to Android 13?

Has anyone else has this option greyed out?

I have the option to choose between 5G,4G,3G,or 2G (Settings > Network & Internet > SIMs > Preferred Network Type).

Yep they've greyed it out even though my phone was bought simfree (unlocked)

If you scroll down a bit further, don't you have a Preferred Network setting?

Nope just a 'Choose Network' which is also greyed out

I'm at a loss, hopefully, someone else will chime in.
FWIW, mine is a US Model, puchcased from T-Mobile, SIM unlocked (using a T-Mobile SIM Card).

You could always just use the dialer code *#*#4636#*#*

Turns out certain networks have the option disabled, I had the same problem when using an ID Mobile sim but my Vodafone sim was fine. To fix the problem make sure your rooted as I don't know of any other way other than the one I'm going to show.
Use a file manage that can show you root files (I use MiXplorer)
Go to /data/user_de/0/com.android.phone/files
Look for a XML file that starts with "carrier", If you have more than one then you've used more than 1 SIM in the phone, Make sure you've opened the XML file for your SIM.
Look for the line "hide_preferred_network_type_bool" and change it from true to false.
Reboot.
Profit.
Hope it works for you.

I'm with Smarty (owned by Three) which also uses the Three network like idmobile so it looks like Three maybe the cul·prit

I'm on I'd mobile which uses threes network.
Type this *#*#4636#*#* in dialer, it enters a test mode.
Click on phone info which takes you to another screen.
Scroll down and you'll see a slightly gray box that if you click on that and scroll through you'll find LTE only.
Click it and that's it, 4g network only.
Restart phone, job done.
Pretty sure my battery also seems to last longer
