Ok so is there a way to turn the LTE off and just the h+ seems I'm in a spot that LTE is in and out and when its got the LTE its only one bar and its slower with one bar than the h+ or maybe because its switching back and forth so I'd like to turn it off if possible but I can't figure out how
And also my E, 4g , 4glte icons are only white but on my artix 2 they go from white to blue and its really slow when its white but does great when blue could that be an issue with the vivid ?
Or does the vivids icon only stay white ?

That menu is not available for the HTC Vivid. However, you may be able to add an APN that only uses HSPA+ and 3G instead.

interesting, it works on the HTC Raider, I guess there are many differences between the two phones?

I don't see a "network mode" under "mobile networks." All I have are "data roaming," "access point names," "network operators,", and "enable always-on mobile data."

I like to turn off 4g. Because I want longer battery life?
Is there any 4g switch app available?
Thanks
Yes, dial *#*#4636#*#* and select Phone Info, then Select CDMA Auto PRL.
*#*#(INFO)#*#*
LTE wont look for a signal anymore.
To Re-Enable LTE, Dial *#*#4636#*#*, Phone Info, CDMA + LTE

i cant believe it's not a built-in toggle widget like gps and wifi...i swear I saw one on the Evo..

Thats cuz there is one on the Evo. Maybe we'll get one in a future update. No worries, someone will make an app.
beautiful widgets has a 4g toggle widget, but it pops up with a warning that it's only for 4g wimax phones...not sure if it'll work or not for us, and i'm not in a 4g area.
Download Any Cut from the market. Create new shortcut, scroll down to Phone Info and it will make shortcut to the screen where you can go to cdma auto, which will stop LTE from running

I switched LTE off, looking forward to see battery improvements tomorrow since 4G isn't in my area yet.
tell me how much of an improvement it is
There is absolutely no question of the improvement. If the 4G radio doesnt have to keep searching for a signal that is not even there, of course its going to save your battery.

im using this app and it works great. what i did was make a widget with minimalistic text and have it open this app.
Yup, Im using this too. Works perfectly. Its called "Network" in your apps list. No 4G at work yet so I make the switch at least twice a day, this helps.
What I find is that I have to switch to airplane mode to get it back into 4G though, anyone else..
Tried the app. Just bootlooped :/. Not sure if i'll try it agian. I might wait for a more direct app

whats the difference on these three?

couldn't find it
my phone is unlocked and i use tmobile service..
they just switched on LTE in my area.. and its working great.. i assigned a new APN (fast.t-mobile.com) and i get upwards of 18Mbps.. but..
in my house.. the LTE signal is 1 bar.. most of my calls go straight to VM and i sometimes dont get texts for hours..
in my house the 4g signal which was the default before is 3 to 4 bars.. i never had a problem receiving calls and texts when its on 4g.
so it seems now they have LTE service the phone favors that no matter what the signal is..
i cant find any options in the settings to turn off LTE and just use 4g.
i guess you can disregard this question.. i installed CM10.2 and it has the option to only use WCDMA instead of LTE..
this fixes my issue

like my phone can just sit on 3G, in the same place,while not moving
but if i reboot my phone, it'll pop on to LTE (if its available in that area)
but i reboot it in known LTE areas (when showing 3G)
anyway to force LTE, without rebooting the phone?
or is there some time schedule where it checks to see if LTE is available that I can change?
Yes which model u have? Its in the secret menu

Hahaha you're absolutely right. I knew just by reading the thread. Sprint is the worst! My HTC One on Sprint was amazing but I couldn't ever hold on to an LTE connection for more then 30 seconds. Unlimited data is useless if your only on their horribly slow 3g
Sprint does suck, if i didnt have 4 other people on my account that would have to get new phones/account etc, I would have been switched.
but that video i think was to turn on LTE, my LTE is on, but for some reason wouldnt search/connect to LTE when it was available all the time
however i went into my mobile connection settings, and changed it from "LTE/CDMA" to Global
now it seems to switch to LTE when its in an LTE area. LTE icon comes up without me having to reboot, i'll keep a watch on it for a few days to see if indeed that was the solution
by the way, anybody now what the "global" option is? compared to LTE/CDMA

I'm pretty sure the global setting is to allow it to connect to GSM carriers in the event that the device is unlocked and the APN is changed accordingly.
I have the same problem in brazil, looks like a problem with the Phone. I had a Samsung S4 that worked with full signal in 4G in my home, now that I moved to LG G Flex it also works full signal 4G in home, but when I move to some place where is Edge then go Back to home, it never moves back to LTE automatically. I need to restart or change the NetworkMode manually to make it back working in 4G.
I think the phone has a problem to automatic search and change the Network mode.
anyone know how to enable only lte yet? i've tried all different kinds of secret menu codes and cant figure it out.
Answer
How to access the hidden service menu on LG G Flex:
For AT&T: Go to dialer and enter 3845#*950#
For T-Mobile: Go to dialer and enter 3845#*959#
For Sprint: Go to dialer and enter 3845#*995#
Once you're in the hidden menu, go to LTE-Only > Modem Settings > RAT Selection > LTE only
Enjoy!

So i took out the Sim from the Iphone 6 im returning and popped it into this bad boy. Curious as to how you guys are setting up the phone so you get the correct LTE speeds. Im barely getting 9down whereas my gf's galaxy in the same room is getting 20+ down. wonder if i did anything wrong
It depends on location. I've seen consistent 50+ down and 20+ up with T-Mobile and default APN.

Nah something is def wrong. Phone is barely usable without wifi. What APN settings are you guys using for tmo?
fast.t-mobile.com it should also give you the settings automatically if you just press the "Internet settings" button.

That's pretty slow, your gf has the tmo also? Pop her sim in your phone and compare. The sim shouldn't matter though.

shes got a galaxy s4 so that wont work. however i still got the iphone 6 around. when i put the sim in that phone i get regular LTE speeds.
Oh, I just noticed in your speedtest result you're on H, not LTE. Under "preferred network mode" do you have "4G (preferred)" enabled? If you're in a border coverage area it could be that your phone is dropping you down to HSPA+ instead of staying on LTE.
For a test, go to the dialer and do *#*#4636#*#* then go to Phone Info and change it to LTE Only and test it to see if it stays on LTE and what kind of speeds you get, by default it's set to "LTE/GSM auto PRL" so if the LTE connection isn't strong enough it's going to drop you down to H+.

These Are my options under preffered:
wcdma only, gsm only, wcdma (preffered)/gsm and 4g(preffered)/wcdma/gsm. i dont see lte in the list
per your test, when I switch to LTE only in phone options the I lose all bars and signal totally craps out.
So when you switched to LTE Only, after a second or 2 you didn't get a 4G symbol above the signal bar? Do you ever see 4G? Mine switches to 4G within about 1 second of switching to LTE Only.

negative. just all bars gone and a big red x. you have this phone on t mobile also? did you do the us firmware update?
Yea, I'm using tmo. My phone is running 23.0.A.2.105
I got 2.93 maybe which one is 105??
I was worried during my first day of owning the phone because my Z1c showed LTE above the bars and now this Z3c shows 4G. I was worried that 4G != LTE.
I'm missing the option to set my device to 4G only. Under "Settings" -> "Network & internet" -> "Mobile network" -> "Preferred network type" I can switch only between "2G/3G/4G" and "2G/3G". I miss further options and especially to set it on "4G" or LTE only. Because my network provider is pretty bad at 3G but quite good at 4G, even when 3G signal is much stronger and 4G signal is weak.
I don't care if I can't take voice calls in this mode.
Edit: I see there are apps on the store to do this. Though would be great to do it within the ROM.

My old phone did, when LTE signal was weak (but still available), and I assume, any other phone will do so as well. But data was much more reliable within 4G than 3G, even when signal was weak.
I play a gps-based online multiplayer game and whenever someone complained about bad data, I hinted to set their phone to LTE only.

If u want to play game while having mobile data only mode activated then use option mobile data only in "game genie" while playing a game and option appears on either side of the phone to activate no calls no alerts option along with the one you are looking for.
Hope it helps.

Anyone knows the actual difference between 4G and 4G+ icon on top bar? I've got the international version with MEO provider (Portugal), and I never saw the 4G+ icon active.

4G+ Means LTE-Advanced aka True 4G, and it is faster than 4G. The only difference is the maximium theoretical speed, bandwidth and minimium latency you can get. 4G can reach speeds up to 100Mbit/s, while the 4G+ (LTE-A) can reach up to or over 1GBit/s, with less than a few milliseconds of latency.
