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

if you have a cdma hero, open your phone dialer and enter ##3282#, its ##DATA# - then wait. you should not receive an error. ill google around but ##3282# should get you in there

It's still doing it

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.

Anyway to toggle 4g to 3g?

Just got the revolution. 4g is killing my battery. I was wondering if there is anyway to toggle between 4g and 3g?

settings/wireless networks/mobile networks/system select/network mode/ select cdma only and it will reboot.

unfortunately, the only way to do it makes the phone reboot.. wonder why.. the charge can do it without rebooting

Widget
So theres no toggle widget like the evo? Kinda a lame. Does this cut all mobile data or does it just set me to 3g. Stupid questions ,but just asking.

setting to cdma limits it to 3g which is kinda useless since 4g allows for voice + data which is a big deal. it really is dumb how it has to reboot. hope a rooted rom fixes this somehow.

I think that would require a radio update from LG if i'm not mistaken. Someone will correct me if i'm wrong. I guess a rom dev could fake a reboot or something possibly. I really don't have that big of an issue letting it reboot.

Nah, looking through the code and it doesn't seem to *require* a reboot, it's just LG's cheap way to avoid having to tell all the 4G-related frameworks that 4g isn't available anymore.
They took the easy route it would appear.. (however, I haven't dumped the radio just yet, so I honestly dunno if it's required by the radio)

why download a app for something that is already built into the phone menu? Lte switch was usefull for my old thunderbolt, because the only other way to switch off 4g was to type in a number into the dialer.

[Q] AT&T "4G" Support/Signal Strength on V21A & V21E?

Does v21a and v21e support at&t's "4G"? Just wondering because I hear those basebands are ghost call free and I'd like to give it a shot.
Sent from my LG-P925 using XDA

4g is all dependant on your location ..its very spotty and I'm not sure but I think you have to change the flex XML which gets a little tricky bit there is a thread on here that talks about it
Sent from my SGH-i677 using XDA Windows Phone 7 App

Yeah I know about the flex file. Aria has an entire thread on it. It just makes me wonder because v20p is the only one that gives me a good signal even though on v20c it uses the exact same baseband and signal strength is poor. Is v20p the only one with good strength?

Hahahaha I guess my phone is just borderline faulty. I hardly have good signal strength when I change the flex file and on the acid hazard rom my phone doesn't vibrate at all.
Also by poor signal, I mean it's poor after flex file changes

I have this phone on that band i was skeptical to at first because i heard
the base frequency's are what you flash for tmobile but just flashed it an hour ago and my "HSPA" is running fine :good:

A funny thing happened to me when using promethius v21e. I read it needed to mess with the flex and the apn to get 4G on my 925. So I did all of that stuff with replacing the dialer and contacts because of the force closes and I thought it was going well. But after a while it became pretty annoying the gapps would crash in the background all the time so I wiped all of the cache and reinstalled the base promethius zip v21e from my sd card. After that I didn't mess with flex or anything else and had normal att signal strength 6 mbps. I couldn't remember the apn that gives me 12 mbps off the top of my head so I just created one named it phone, and for apn I put phone and then hit save. First test of this setting gave me14.9 mbps speed test with zero change to stock flex or dialer. Running smooth and fast for 2 days.

to clarify, I only added the phone apn. I did not touch the apn for cingular that comes with promethius.
after you asked about mms I had my daughter send me one to find out. I did not get the mms until I modified my "phone" apn to apn type "default,internet" still leaving the original apn untouched. Ran another speed test seems okay.

MMS Issues

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 am in the same boat as you. I am in the LA area, and I had good signal in my neighborhood too. However, I can't connect with LTE either, even when I stand next to the tower.
The most weird thing is: I went to the store fore return. When I hit the store, my phone works with LTE outside of the store. I have to go home. Now my phone still has no LTE connection.
It looks like that it is Sprint or HTC software issue. I had no clue what to do though.

Call Sprint customer care and have them check your UICC ID under settings/about/phone identity. I had exchanged my phone and this number didn't update and caused me to not get 4g when others had it. Its the same number as your SIM ID and is required to match your phone. Seems to be a common issue with setting up the HTC One since is has a SIM Card. They may argue with you that its for International only....tell them I understand that but you have seen others with this problem and that their UICC ID numbers did not match on the account and that its required to make 4g work.

Ok, thanks

Yea you have to call them with confidence that you know what the issues are. And in markets they have not launched yet just explain that data is very bad on this phone and you get a lot of dropped calls. Then just ask them to please verify the numbers on your account with the phone....and especially the UICC ID.

I live in LA as well, and I only get LTE in a few different specific areas. Should I call them to make sure all of my numbers are correct? Is there anything else I can do?
