Not sure if I'm posting in the right area but here goes. I have at&t for internet which makes my locals default to Chicago in the Directv Now app even though my zip code is set to my location. Is there an app that will spoof my location to get my correct locals?
Any help would be great.

What the title says! I only get the "E" which are like dial up speeds
You need to manually set the APN settings of your network provider, which is found in settings, wireless settings. You will need to Google the APN details of your network provider to get the details to fill in, usually as simple as the APN name and all other fields are left out, but that just applies to my network, not sure about others.

If you're trying to restore US 3G follow the steps here, but there are two files you do not want to copy over. I believe it is the build.prop and the default.prop. (can't find the original post I saw this on)
I have a slightly odd requirement, and I wondered if there was any way to fix it:
My carrier has a partnership with a second carrier so we can roam on each others networks for no extra cost.
Where I live, my own carrier only gives me a 2G signal, whereas the other gets 3G. Thing is, I have to physically select the other network. If it's on Automatic, it always "prefers" my own carrier.
This is fine until I'm on the other side of town where the other network gets no signal at all. I then have to manually select my own carrier again!
Is there any way to get it to prefer the other network, or even more ideally, prefer the one that offers the better signal at any given point?
Hi,
a bit of *bump* because I'm struggling with the same issue. I had such option on my previous samsung i780 (oooold) and it worked like a charm.
Currently my mobile operator has 2 roaming partners and if I want to change quickly the preferred order (because in some location it might have better coverage but only there and only for a while) I wold have to switch simcard to the old phone...
Isn't there at even a separate aplication to do that? Does andorid API allow such modification?
Glad I'm not the only one!
Interesting you mention an app to do it... i've not looked actually. If an app can access the list of networks and actually set the phone to use one, then I guess it would be possible. I'll check it out...
to the best of my understanding this is somewhat network option/setting and when suggesting an app I was thinging abount some way to read this setting, modify it and then save/send back to network. It would be a matter of access to the network settings from the API and knowledge how to operate it....
Still investigating this. Looks like the stuff to access the list of networks is in some internal APIs, so a little harder to access. I'll post back when I learn more...
Hey I hope you guys can figure this out have you tried the *#*#4636#*#* command and changed the radio? This will select the most preferred network.. e.g. I'm with Telstra in Australia, the stock radio defaults to 2100MHz but Telstra's HSPA+ is 850Mhz.. so I have to switch to AUS2 radio so it defaults to that every time.

It's not about the radio band but about the service provider itself.
Hello all,
With this new tmobil global data plan that rolled out, it is really not good in south Texas area. Live on the border and work in Mexico. Cannot get the data from the mexican providers. Called tmobil and said sorry, its you area.
What I am looking to see is:
1. Is there a way to get the mobile network default setup to stick in manual after a re-boot. It always defaults to automatic. I need it on manual because I can still get tmobil in Mexico. It goes in and out but I get it. Otherwise it changes over to moviestar and I will get charged for messaging. Since I have no data connection, I cant use 3rd party apps.
2. Remove or supress the searching for networks popups asking to search for available networks.
If someone can come up with a way to do these, i think it would benefit more people than just me.
Thanks for reading!!

Does anyone know a way to show the mobile network frequency that is in use. I need to determine what frequency the phone is actually using when connected to a tower.
I've seen people mention an LTE Engineering mode and using the *#0011# code, both which don't work or don't exist for this phone.
I'm using an app called LTE Discovery, which shows the frequency, however the app states it may not match what the phone is actually using. It says to use the engineering screen to view actual information. I believe this app is just pulling data from a tower database (which is incorrect for my area, leading to me looking for this information in the first place).
Any help would be appreciated.
I use LTE Discovery app. Works flawlessly and is pretty powerful.
*EDIT*
I apologize, my fault for not reading your entire post. MODs feel free to delete my answer
Tarv,
I use a nexus 5X on the Sprint network and what I do is enter *#*#DEBUG*#*# (#*#*33284*#*#) and then the debug menu pulls up and you can choose LTE Engineering from there to view the frequency.
I'm guessing by now you may have figured out a solution, but I figured I would post this for future viewers.
I am currently using a firetv with fire os 5.2.6.0 and would like to know if there is any way i can get my local channels.
The internet i am gives me an ip address located in new york so directv wont give me the local channels for my zip code.
i tried to spoof my location using the guides of sideloading play services and enabling mock location using adb but the fake gps fails when i type in my zipcode and wont change anything.
When I last used DTVNow, the locale was based on your billing address.

It shouldn't matter what your IP address is. I use the DTN app on my phone over cellular data and it brings up my local channels. It's all about billing zipcode. Your local area might not have any local channels yet. You can check by zipcode here: http://www.directv.com/DTVAPP/packProg/attLocalChannels.jsp?assetId=att_cms_local_channels
Yes I get my local channels over cellular data on devices with gps but I don't believe the firetv has gps so it uses the device ip location which is a few states away.

I believe it matters when you don't have gps to determine location.
