[Q] Disable LTE

I'm using the ICS leak 213, and the CDMA-only option has disappeared. Any ideas how to disable 4g? I've got access to the programming menu, but there I'm lost.

LTE OnOff in the market, dials into the support menu (or whatever it's called) where you can change the radio. A bit of a pain, but better then having a dead battery 6 hours into your day.

This doesn't work on the Droid 4, the only option is to turn off the radio entirely.

Works for me just fine. It's not a widget, just a short cut. Select the drop down arrow about half the way down to see the different bands.

I'm not real up on the ICS leaks, I am still running GB, but I dl'd "4g toggle" from the market and it works awesome.

Thanks, I didn't see there was a menu there.

no problem, glad to help.

Thx for this thread I've been trying to figure out how to disable 4g. I downloaded the 4g toggle but it just links me back to my original choices of global gsm or lte/cdma. Any further ideas?

You need lte onoff as I stated earlier. Motorola has seen fit to remove the option in settngs to run on cdma only. the app I listed takes you into a support menu allowing you to select the bands through a drop down.
Widgets will most likely not work as the setting is in the framework and is not easily changed.

Works perfectly! Many thanks:good:

So I have been playing around with the LTEOnOff and was wondering if there was any information on the different types of radio's we can choose from.
EDIT:Since I poster this I found a neat webpage with a lot of information about the different radio signals.

[Q] Where are my Sprint apps?

Ok, I know that this is kind of weird "problem" to post about here, but my One doesn't have any of the Sprint bloat/apps. I suspect it might be because my Network Operator Name in the About portion of Settings is "HTC" instead of "Sprint". I'm running viperboy's stock odexed 1.29.651.10. My wife, who also has a Sprint One, is running 100% stock and has all of the Sprint crap and her Network Operator is Sprint. So is this because I'm running a rooted "stock" ROM? Or is there something else going on? In any event, I kind of wanted to check out the Scout navigation app and it apparently isn't on my phone and certainly doesn't show up in the Play Store when I search for it or under the Sprint category. How can I get my phone to believe that it is a Sprint phone? I'll worry about freezing or ripping out bloatware I don't want later, I just want the choice!

Where did you get the phone? It doesn't sound like it's a retail device.

I got it at Sam's Club from the retail phone guy. I should add that everything else seems to work fine: Play Store access including paid apps, make and receive phone calls, 3g and LTE, wifi, GPS, etc.

A lot of the "stock" rooted roms still remove bloatware apps. Check the rom's thread on here and see if they were removed. Sometimes the bloat apps are still there, but moved to a different folder. That way, you can add what you want.

There was a thread on this a while back. I believe the general assumption is you got an HTC demo unit. Its htc branded as opposed to sprint branded. No issues save for missing sprint apps. If you take it back, theyll exchange it for the simple fact its branded htc. Just ruu first. No need to exchange, though.

I kind of wondered about that. I don't think it's really worth taking it back just for some carrier apps I'll probably end up pulling out anyway. I wonder why there seem to be so many demo units out there being sold as retail? Maybe the initial supply problems?

I dont know man. Maybe they got shipped out in retail boxes beforehand and some sprint stores never put them out on display and got them mixed up? Thats a mofo of a coincidence if so though

Further research
I've poked around a little more in my system files to see if there is any reference to Sprint and found a few apks in /system/app: SprintDMS.apk, Sprint_Worldwide.apk, SprintInstaller.apk, and SprintZone.apk. If I try to install them using ES File Explorer, the installer runs and warns me that they are system apps and tells me about permissions, then fails with the message "App not installed." (Well duh, that's why I tapped on the apk....) So at least some of the Sprint stuff is on my phone, but it is dormant somehow. Is it possible that I just didn't get activated quite right after rooting? I sort of remember something called Hands-Free Activation running for several minutes on the first boot after rooting and cancelling it because it did not seem like it was going to complete. Maybe that has something to do with it?

You (or someone) changed something in your dialer settings. There is an option to turn off sprint branding in there. When you were on stock did you have any sprint animations when the phone booted?
You just have to change one setting to fix it if the problem is what I think it is.
easy fix...
1. install nova launcher
2. with nova launcher now set as launcher hold on homescreen to create new shortcut.
3. select new short cut > activities.
4. scroll down the list until you see "Update Device"... click update device then look for a "Branding" submenu.
5. Click on "Branding" and you will make a "Branding" shortcut on your Homescreen.
6. Click new "Branding" shortcut and set Branding to "Sprint"
Thank Autoprime for posting this fix. All your sprint apps will come back too. If that doesn't fix it PM me.

I don't remember for sure (I booted maybe 2 times before I got around to rooting), but I don't think so.

"Update Device" isn't in that list, and I didn't see Branding or anything like it in some other submenus I tried.

Just found this thread (not sure how I missed it when I was searching and reading thread titles before posting my thread). It is full of people with varying degrees of the same "problem" I have, but for some of them significant things are missing, like mobile network settings and so on. The fix is basically flashing the RUU and letting it download its Sprint package a few minutes after connecting to the network after that, then rebooting. I'm backing up all my apps now to give that a try.

I suggest HTCs built in backup. It backs up apps, settings, evrrything minus autorotate settings and lockscreen password

PM me your serial number

Alright, I flashed the RUU, updated the profile and PRL and ... got the Sprint icons on the second home screen to show up! But mostly they are just links to the Play Store and the items are not available for my carrier as my carrier is still HTC. Does anyone know of a way to force my phone to get reprovisioned entirely? Maybe that would help....

And now confirmed not a demo unit, just a regular old Sprint One. So it must be something with how it got activated, right?

Moto X dialer codes

XT1053, just bought it. Running stock 4.4, always been stock. What are the dialer codes? I have yet to see a list or any success with the few i saw on random forums, thanks!
The goal is to be able to delve into hidden menu and also control the radios. Thanks in advance!!

First off, the code is *#*#info#*#*
Secondly, dialer codes don't work on the stock moto x 4.4+ I've tried many and none will bring up any menu.
Another post mentioned the app Phone Testing. This has worked for me as far as bringing up the info menu.

thanks for the help guys, I searched anycut in the play store but it's gone apparently. also, piccit is right, the dialer code does not work for 4.4 that was the first thing i tried when getting the phone lol
I'm just gonna find anycut on google. Also piccit, since we have the same model, Are there any noticable camera improvements for 4.4.2? also did system update work for you? it doesn't for me, and did audio effects toggles work for you? because on 4.4 it don't work for me lol.

I actually have the 1060 (vze DE). I flashed the Great Britian 4.4.2 and never bothered to modify my build.prop to specify the right version.
As far as your questions:
I don't use the camera enough to comment.
I manually flashed 4.4.2, so system update doesn't come into play
I haven't touched my EQ/audio effects, they're still on whatever the defaults are
I'm not familiar with anycut, but if you just want to get to the testing menu, the app chrstndsgnr posted worked for me when the dialer code wouldn't on 4.4

AnyCut hasn't been updated since 2008. If you've installed it before, open the play store, click on the upper left and pick"my apps" then "all". You'll probably have to scroll all the way to the bottom
Here's the direct link, don't know if it'll work for you or not.

Thanks for the reply but I trieed that direct link else where already. also I can just get the apk from google like i did last time.

you can create shortcuts to hidden menus through the activities widget in third party launchers like apex launcher and action launcher, probably others.
CQATest: CQATest > CQATest > .Test_MenuMode
Phone info (submenu of Testing): Settings > Phone info > .RadioInfo
Programming Menu: Programming Menu > Programming Menu > .ProgMenuApp$ProgMenuList
Qualcomm Settings: com.qualcomm.qualcommsettings > Qualcomm Settings > .QualcommSettings
Testing: Settings > Testing > .TestingSettings

All of those work except the programming menu when using the action launcher. Thanks for sharing!

Remove carrier text from statusbar?

Anybody know how to do it?

I think there is a CSC edit to do it (there's a thread in the apps subsection of ATT s6). Or what I do is run a weather app with an ongoing temperature notification - that hides it.

There is a csc edit let me see

I searched but can't find it. Somebody please link me.

Couldn't find the thread to link you to. Get app "CSC features editor" from the play store. There's an entry for "VZWdevice info" that's set false (as would be expected) pretty sure if you toggle that to true it will go away, as well as switching to vzw icons. Try searching on that to see if you can find the thread. You may want to verify before trying this, as I'm going off very fuzzy memory here...

Just tried it and it didn't work.

Anybody?

Wish there was a way to do this besides using a weather program. I was in a custom ROM in the S6 forum that hid it, but with CleanROM, I have to deal with this again.

carrier logo in notification

So I have a unlocked note8 from best buy. Got my service from metro pcs. Now this might seem petty but I cannot stand the fact that it says metro pcs when I drop down my notification bar. Does anyone know how I can remove just this logo. As seen in picture

I'm using Substratum and wings themes, I believe one of the navigation bar mods removed mine as mine doesn't show my carrier at all when I swipe down.
Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk

It is not a logo, but just shows to what network provider you are connected. It shows in stock fw and will be updated e.g. when roaming. If no cell service you'll don't see the name/logo.
Don't understand the issue

It is standard, all stock notes show it, you can change it or get rid of it, but you need to install mod to do it

Download & install this apk, then reboot. Carrier name with be removed from the lockscreen & the bottom of the notification panel. To reverse it, simply uninstall the apk from your app list (it won't be in your app drawer) then reboot. Works on Note 8 with Nougat. Source: tytydraco.

Had it on my att unlocked running a T-Mobile sim. Flashed carrier to T-Mobile and now it's gone

Just installing the apk? Is it a theme, overlay or standalone?

Yeah just install the apk & reboot. Original thread states RRO overlay. I tried it, works fine & uninstalls easily. Other than that I know nothing more about it, just remember running into it a while back. I don't care for hiding the carrier, I never notice them anyway & it's a good indicator to know of your roaming or sim dies.

*deleted*

Yeah I'm a dumb ass. Thank you for the apk file. It works great.

too bad it doesn't work on Oreo.
