As the title suggests, is there any way to force VoLTE on op3 on Three UK? Maybe by changing device info in build prop to trick the network into thinking that this is one of the supported device? The reason being that i get waaaaay faster internet on 4g, but i can't really take advanage because the phone automaticaly switches to 3g as it thinks is more stable.
I don't think there is any way with build.prop. You can try changing network settings ( wcdma / CDMA settings ) or APNs.

Hi,
I have LG G3 S With ATT sim card.
Every few hours my internet service stop working because of the Network Mode settings keep changing to GSM ONLY.
so every time i need to change it back to GSM / WCDMA auto ,
But its keep coming back to GSM ONLY.
How can i fix that??
Notice, i tried set the APN again and again but no change.
Thanks
hello! i have g3 d850 at&t and its unlocked but i have problems while i try to connect phone with 3g or 4g lte data, signal bar ddisappears when i force connect with wcdma or lte. gsm work well. apn is ok. o g2 i have 3g 4g lte ok, with same apn and same parameters but on g3 i can connect only with 2g or E. please help me!
Same happen to me
Kind of the same happens to me(I'm in Claro - Argentina provider) and also D855
Signal bars go when i select WCDMA only but when i go LTE/WCDMA/GSM, i do get 3G+ but after a while (dont know if its when the device goes to sleep or idk, but after 30+- minutes) the modem stop responding, i can't make calls, get them or get any data.
I havent been able to find why this happens (tried different versions modem) and roms.... any help would also be apreciated.
I get it sometimes too and for me the solution is changing the APN. Sometimes carriers have different apns like "vodafone live" and "vodafone internet". So be sure you choose the right apn settings.

I tried it, didn't work either! After some time, the modem stop responding... dont get internet or the ability to get or make phone calls.
I've tried *#*#4636#*#* but the code doesn't work. As soon as I type that, my phone dialer just goes blank. So how do I force 3G?
Do you mean basically shut off LTE (force only use of 3G and GSM/2G/EDGE)? Since GSM is the often used fall-back from 3G, and it's not currently a great idea to only have 3G. At least not until carrier start shutting down the GSM networks (which is coming soon, from what I understand).
If that is what you mean, if you go into Settings>Mobile data, do you have the Preferred network type, with the option to force GSM and 3G? Or does it just change back, if you do have this option shown?
What carrier version of the M8 do you have? The network type is locked out (to always allow all three: GSM, 3G and LTE) on the US carrier versions. And this also affects the dialer codes to force the network mode.

Nah, nothing to do with 4G but my network keeps switching back and forth (3G/2G). I've noticed that this causes some battery drain
The code has worked previously with other ROMs but not quite so on Verizon 6.0. I wouldn't mind locking to 2G either since I don't use data
Hello, I moved from zui to Pixel Experience on february. On that time I didn't have the option to enable 4g+ on zui yet. Is there a way to enable it being on a custom rom, without wiping or reflashing anything?
Thank you
Usually the phone switches between 4G+ and 4G depending on the area. Carriers make their networks interlaced so that the internet connection doesn't drop whenever 4G+ does not work. So it's nothing unusual to see 4G sometimes at the status bar.
You don't have to do anything to enable 4G+, if your location supports intra band CA your phone will automatically latch to 4G+
If you still want to forcibly enable 4G+ then

How to enable 4G+
4G+ / LTE+ also known as CA isn't only a device related feature. Yes off course the device/rom has to have support for the same but its ultimately on your Career to support & offer this feature. So first thing to ensure the service is available under your Network Service Provider and its available in your locality also
ZUI 2.5 (Indian) having baseband 1.76 do support this feature. I have personally seen it working with stock ZUI or with non treble ROM running over this baseband. So if you are with that baseband of higher (like baseband 1.70 from Chinese ZUI 3.5), your phone probably ready for the feature.
Career plays the ultimate role here, so make sure to test with a SIM Card from a friend or relative to check for 4G+/LTE+ on different network. For me, Jio 4G regularly switch to 4G+/LTE+ in my location Kolkata. But mind you not all cell tower or location shows this icon. So some places offer regular 4G.
Last but not the least, here in my place, that's India, with or without 4G+/LTE+, network speeds are more or less comparable to a proper 3G at max. Often I see 4G+ icon and network speeds are like old 2G age !!
I'm on EE UK but the preferred network type setting doesn't appear to be present in SIM options?
It appears that some providers suck hard and don't want to allow you to switch networks. That's not a phone thing-y, it's a provider thing-y. Which means that your phone will of course still change networks, but only if the "higher" one is not available, ergo your phone will only connect to 4G, if 5G is not available - if the 5G connection is bad, that will probably cause problems for you, because your phone will probably not want to connect to 4G automatically.
I can easily switch preferred network types
Settings -> Network & Speed -> SIMs -> (scroll down, between 4G Calling & Carrier settings version) -> Preferred network type (5G, 4G, 3G, 2G).
It that's not available, your network carrier sucks. No more to say here.
I'd suggest you either switch providers, or contact your provider to see if they are willing to change this. It's definitely on their end, cuz people like me can change the settings easily.

You may be able to change preferred network type with *#*#4636#*#* dialer code.

EE (& BT Mobile) hide the menu.

Or you could just make sure Adaptive Connectivity is enabled and not worry about it.
You would have to drag me away from EE (BT Mobile) screaming and kicking given the coverage and speeds they have, to say they suck over one menu option missing is absolutely laughable.

When the Note 20 first came out a lot of carriers wouldn't let you change network type but there's an app in the play store that was working on the notes.
Force 4G/5G Only - Apps on Google Play
Lock your phone to 4G/5G mode or VoLTE network

Crashes or alternately just disappeared for me when I click on the first option "4G LTE with only one SIM". Reported the crash. Thanks, though. Maybe they'll update it.
An alternative to the dialer code is to boot into safe mode, and the preferred network type setting will appear in: Settings -> Network & internet -> SIMs between Data warning & limit and Carrier settings version (at least it does on my Google Fi Pixel 6 Pro).
