i n the network settings i have GSM/WCDMA/LTE or GSM/WCDMA I set mine to the second option and can't be bothered.
When i do it in network settings, it goes right back into lte auto

Make a new APN and pick it whenever you don't want LTE.

It does not retain the Selected APN. It automatically reverts back to LTE.
Hmm it should retain till it looses signal at least that how I saw my device behave.
The other option I can think of is use build.prop editor app and turn off from there. May be I should try to write my app for this .

App would be awsome.. I was using 4636 code on my aria and had no issues. For some reason , vivid does not retain it.
I have been looking for a rom that has the option open to select the preferred network type. I need to select gsm sometimes while troubleshooting the network and my modded aria would let me select the network type. It was loaded with cyanogen and I am wondering if I will have to wait til the cyanogen mod for the vivid is released to get control of this function. Having the ability to lock the phone into a select technology is very helpful when testing a cell site.

im looking for the same option too
but on stock ics vivid rom
Im using an app from play store called LTE OnOff and it serves the purpose.
I hat the option by default, but found it is also available in the app 4g test. Even allows to restrict to only lte.

you could try entering ##3282# , please wait while initiating...click edit mode, enter your msl. you can call sprint for your msl or run logcat and find the six digit number in there.
click on evdo, then click preferred mode. you should see automatic, hdr only, digital only, cdma only. try using digital only, it should run evdo only. also try hdr only as it should also only run in digital.
I tried entering that number and it says.the number or code u enterd is incorrect

That will only work if you're running a SenseUI (sucks, I know) ROM that has QPST on it. Flash a rom such as Nfinite's NFX or something like that. Then those ##xxxx# codes will work.
I believe you can still access basically the same menu on an aosp rom, don't remember the *#*#XXXX#*#* code though
You could check the market for an app called "network" or something similar. It may open it up

I can confirm, you need to use NFX 2.1 rom, as the FroyoSense is a GSM rom that is ported over to CDMA hero, and GSM roms dont use EPST as CDMA phones do...
So if I did the data thing would it still work if I switched back to this Rom
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA App
Well this seems to be working I switched back to nfx hero and there's a root app for cdma phones called msl reader I went to the settings selected evdo set it to hdr then I went to the top forgot what its called then hit enable then I pressed comit chAnges and it rebooted now its staying on evdo but will it still be saved in the settings if I switch back to a gsm Rom

thats great. glad i could help you out. be aware that while running evdo/digital only you wont be able to receive or place calls. calls use 1x and if im not mistaken, sms also needs 1x. thats how it was back in the day, anyway. so if you use the device strictly as a modem then you dont have to worry about switching back when youre finished with your data'ing.

interesting. which setting did you choose?
Hdr only and I enabled something at the top
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA App
When I do #*#*info*#*# I see my phone is set to WCDMA preferred. Is this the best choice ?, I live in an area where my phone spends a lot of time with only gprs coverage and data transfer in gprs mode seems to be very flaky, works sometimes but often nothing comes through ?
Sent from my HTC Incredible S using XDA Premium App
Preferred is the best choice if your area doesn't have strong 3g/4g signal. Where I live I have strong 3g/4g signal so I set my phone to WCDMA only.
Only downside is when you hit a dead area with a weak signal you lose all connection because the phone is set to work on 3g/4g only. Can't make a call or surf the web.
If you don't want your phone switching to gprs set your phone to WCDMA only.

What about GSM/CDMA auto (PRL) I seem to recall from my HTC Hero days that people were recommending to set to that, but can't remember the reason (might have been a battery reason)

I never tested it out but supposedly preferred option favors 3g/4g and the auto option favors edge. Auto option saves battery because its looking for a weaker signal. There is a link below that talks about the option on the Nexus One in more detail.

You can also get the juicedefender app and let it manage your radios when it sleeps and it uses your network location to determine when to turn your wifi on.
I recently got my vivid and when I got it the lte wasn't working so I found what I needed to change the apn and I copied everything verbatim and now my mms isn't working. I made sure everything was correct and even deleted the apn and redid it but still my pictures get stuck in a continuous sending loop. Any help would be appreciated. Here are screenshots of my settings, maybe I missed something?

Just do this...
1) go to your local att store
2) ask for an LTE compatible sim (if you have one skip to 3)
3) ask them to enable LTE on your phone...no you won't be charged extra, no your plan won't be changed...everything will be the same except you now have LTE (this can also be done over the phone)
4) use the stock (PTA) apns
5) enjoy LTE and mms
Again...nothing above will cost you money (well...I guess there's gas) you will keep your plan...no hidden fees or extra charges or higher cost for phone bill...EVERYTHING THAT RELATES TO MONEY WILL STAY THE SAME

So you don't have lte then...your using hspa+ (which shows as 4g I believe) Its impossible to set up lte by your self...because att has to enable it for your number...you can set up mobile internet on your own but you can't set up lte on your own (unless you hack into att systems and change it your self )
Just call att and tell them to enable lte for you...then use stock apns and enjoy download speeds of over 20mb/s (assuming you have late where you live)

I have LTE and I got everything working. When I got the phone the apn was programmed only to run on the hspa+ to save battery life and so I just went and changed the apn and enabled the LTE again (i do have it where I live I get between 25mb/s to 38mb/s depending on time of day) but when I changed the apn my mms stopped working so I just decided to delete all the apn's on the phone and start over and now everything is working as it should. That also seemed to fix the random restarts cause I haven't had a single restart since I've done that though may just be coincidence

I understand if set to LTE only that it "holds onto LTE better" I suppose, but is it usable? Once the LTE gets to around -120dbs on the One it is unusable I read. Sometimes at my work it will be on LTE but the minute I start using and significant data it drops to 3G.
