Hidden menu LTE - RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello people i have found a hidden menu hidden to me anyway when typing *#*#4636#*#* i am presented with a phone information screen and their are options to select LTE etc.Does this mean the phone is capable of full 4g or is it just wishfull thinking.

I don't think it's 4G capable because you can't enable it.

Mmm thats what i was thinking intersting menu though i wonder why its even their.

Most android phones have this menu.

Edge only toggle?

Does it exist on the captivate? I cant find a way to run my phone in edge only to save battery....
Thanks.
You'd have to run certain custom ROM's that have it enabled. Unfortunately they change so often I cannot remember which one offered it.
I would check Auxura ROM in the dev forum here - I "think" they had that feature enabled.

You could try the following:
Put your phone in service mode by dialing *#*#197328640#*#*
Then type 1 for Debug
Then 8 for Phone Control
Then 4 for UE State Control
and then 3 to change to GSM
then Menu-> exit.

Yep, that's what I do during the week as the 3G signal by my office isn't so great. To go back to 3G, it's option 2 instead of 3 (WCDMA).
Think there's a way to create Launcher Pro buttons to have it switch using shortcuts instead of having to dial all that?
just to add some additional info.
Running Axura 2.4, you have the following options in the usual settings menu => Wireless and Network => Mobile Network Settings
GSM/CDMA
GSM Only
CDMA Only

I just added the number as a contact. Whenever I want to access it, it pops right up after dialing #.

GSM/WCDMA switch for Incredible-S (2.3.3) ??

I'm after a way to be able to switch from GSM Only - WCDMA/GSM Auto.
Plenty of widgets that claim they do it, but most of them are "Mobile Data" switches, which I find useless as I can do that from my status bar...
Not even sure if its possible on a stock 2.3.3...might have to be rooted...
Thanks in advance.
Yea you will need a rooted phone as far as I am aware

What about extended controls?
I think it can do the trick.
Sent from my HTC Incredible S using XDA App
Have you tried following:
Home -> Settings -> Wireless & networks -> Mobile networks(Set options for roaming, networks, APNs) -> Network Mode dropdown
My IS is not rooted(or I'm not aware of it) and it is possible to change network mode.
Hi
Just press "Phone" and enter *#*#4636#*#* under "Phone information" you can change it.
Could you indicate what you are trying to do?
Only switch between GSM & CDMA for internet usage?
Or to turn 3g/2g internet connection on-off?
Ok, sorry... It seems like I haven't explained myself right here...
OK...
I am totally aware of what options there are in the settings...but thank you none the less for pointing those out though seriously.
Currently, this is what I do to change it (Mobile Network Settings)... I wasn't saying I cant change it haha. Misunderstanding. My apologies...
I am just after a widget that does it for me basically... from...
"WCDMA/GSM Auto (or just WCDMA)" -----too---- "GSM Only" ----and vice versa...and so on...
I hope this makes sense...
Thanks again, in advance guys.
It makes perfect sense, but I don't think its possible.

Hrmm, yeah I'm starting to realise that...unfortunately...
I'm still going to try some stuff. A friend suggested "Toggle 2G"...but i cant seem to find it on the market... The add on for it is there but, not that actual app...weird...
Under HTC widget, there is one for the on/off for 3G.
I don't have an on/off HTC 3G/2G toggle widget

On the main screen, touch the personalize button.
Touch widget.
Touch Browse all HTC Widget.
By default it is number 50/71 widget.
My unmod IS have this.
The topic is about switching between 2G and 3G not switching mobile data on or off.
Thanks for your reply man. But unfortunately there's no such thing. There's a mobile data switch, which has nothing to do with GSM or wcdma.
Thanks anyway.

I only have 66 HTC widgets and 2g/3g is not one of them. Very strange.
I guess IS from different countries differs.
I have that widget and it works fine for me.
It does toggle between 2G/3G. Tried and Tested.

Updated to ICS, now Network Mode disabled

How do I go about re-enabling this option? I'd like to be able to toggle my 4g off to save battery.

This doesnt answer your question, but I too have come across this. I updated to ICS this morning and see that my Network Mode toggling is now disabled.
Anyone, pls help!

Two options on ICS:
Grab LTE On/Off (Thunderbolt) from Play Store
Dial *#*#4636#*#* on your dialer
The dialer method simply gets you one step up higher in the Testing menu; go to Phone Information.
Scroll down the page a bit to see the Radio setting; it's the dark grey on black control, right above the Turn Off radio button, that by default reads LTE/CDMW/EvDo. Change to CDMA auto (PRL)

How to access DM Mode/Service Menu's

I did some searching and had trouble finding a way to get to DM Mode on the AT&T variant S6 edge. So, I thought I would post my findings here in case it might help someone else.
Finally, after some tinkering I found the code to be:
*#0808#
You simply dial that from the dialer as with other service modes.
Also, for anyone wanting to access other service modes I have found the following codes work:
*#27663368378# Display Basic info
*#197328640# For main Service menu
*#2263# Enable/Disable bands

Enable/disable bands just gives me a blank list of lines/spaces.

It is possible that this has changed with an update. I don't have the phone to test anymore. Sorry
*#2263# gives me blank spaces as well.
I didn't see *#*#4636#*#* on here. Under device Info you can change from LTE/GSM mode to LTE only WCDMA only etc.

5g lte widget

Does anyone know of a 5g 4g toggle / widget or easy way to change the network setting for the pixel 5? I don't see an easy way to do it without jumping through the settings menu hoops but I could be missing something. Running on t-mobile USA if that matters.
how do you do it through the menu?

Settings - Network & internet - Mobile network - Preferred network type
Then choose the toggle of the network you want to use 5g LTE 3g or 2g
I was just hoping to be able to more easily switch between 5g and lte if I'm not going to be doing anything too bandwidth intensive and want to extend my battery life.
ok, so the built in app "phone services" has this activity called radio info. you can create a shortcut to it using nova launcher for example, or other apps that let you create shortcuts directly to activities. there's a drop down menu there that lets you change the 4g/5g (and 3g and 2g too). it's not a one click solution, but it's much faster than the other way (like 2-3 clicks).
Hey u can change it in phone info
Then set preferred network type if u don't know these setting do not mess it.
*#*#4636#*#*
