Is there a way to force HSPA / disable LTE? *#*#4636#*#* doesn't work.
Being in an area that constantly switches between HSPA and LTE is a battery killer and I'd rather be able to simply force HSPA.

There are various apps that allow you to access the same menu as *#*#4636#*#*. The one that i've used is called LTE On/Off for Thunderbolt. It takes you to that menu, and works fine on phones other than the thunderbolt. Select WCDMA Preferred from the list and it goes to HSPA+.

Awesome thanks. Wonder how it does that since *#*#4636#*#* does nothing by itself.

Is that an AT&T Moto X? I don't have that option on mine, also the LTE signal indicator looks different.
Some stated earlier to use the app LTE on/off. I've been using it and it works great

tried this after updating to kitkat, and it will not allow me to change to cdma prl auto.
Anyone else able to turn off LTE on a AT&T Moto X running kitkat?

If you have an AT&T Moto X then you don't have CDMA so you shouldn't be able to select that option. Try selecting the WCDMA only or WCDMA preferred option.

I chose the WCDMA preferred option. There wasn't an option to confirm or anything at that point, so I just backedout. Is that it?
Thanks for your help!

I've just recently acquired an I9305 in the UK. I'm on giffgaff.
It appears there are only 2 allowable modes for the mobile radio, 2G/3G/4G Auto mode, or 3G Only.
Has anyone figured out how to put it into 2G only mode?
Paul
The Australian version has options for 2g only, 3g only or auto. Only option it doesn't have is 4g only. Not sure why the UK version doesn't have the same options.

NatTheCat,
Which network are you on and are you running the stock ROM? I'm on giffgaff (O2), and there is no option for "use only 2gnetworks". I'm also using the stock ROM.

the last ppl to reply dont seem to give the proper info, Yes you can put it in 2G mode only and the way to do it is put it in GSM Only Mode....
GSM = 2G
WCDMA = 3G
LTE = 4G
Settings>More settings>Mobile Networks>Network Mode> GSM ONLY

Pretty sure the OP says he only has 2 options - all or 3G only.
Yeh I just read that lool whoops... i read the last reply and commented in regards to that info and just made sure the correct words were used in the settings options because OP said there is no option for 2G mode and infact he is right it says GSM mode instead of 2G..... 3G 4G 2G are not used for the abbreviations...
To the OP this is Very strange to have those options only , it has to be your Carrier which modified the rom for their network, but why wouldnt they want you on the 2G mode? are you sure they have those bands open maybe they are going to shut down the 2G bands down soon and are prepared lol Who knows ... I am confused on this one sorry bro
Possible option is to flash an Aus rom or some other European one.

Yea it's weird. It was from Orange originally, I then unlocked it and have moved to giffgaff.
Anyone else out there with Orange/EE can confirm only 3G, and 2G/3G/4G Auto network options?
I can confirm that those are the only options on an Orange lte in the UK.

Hi,
How to disable LTE ? I mean I want edge and WCDMA enabled, but simply disable the LTE chip/module ?
Wondering why if I leave my one set to lte only it holds it with no problems but once I change it to the regular settings is mostly on 3g?

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.
I signed up for AIO Wireless on Friday (Aug 16) here in Houston. Just for that day, I got LTE reception from AIO.
Starting Aug 17 (next day), I am not getting any LTE reception. When I go to Network app (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.mangelow.network), it displays that I am on WCDMA band. Interesting thing is that I can not change that band.
When I was on AT&T, I was able to move from WCDMA to LTE/GSM/WCDMA and vice versa.
My question is - if there is anyone who is not getting LTE on AIO in Houston/Miami?
Also - any help on getting my phone provisioned to LTE would be great !
You can't change it in your phones network settings or the secret phone menu?

I am on stock AT&T rom (with root and unlocked b/l). I tried *#*#4636#*#* but it is not working from phone app.
There is no other setting to choose band or carrier in settings.
Is there an alternate way to execute secret command?
It sounds like a bad sim card. Also, download an app called lte on/off for thunderbolt. It will take you to the secret settings menu that AT&T blocks access to from the dialpad. It works on phones other than the thunderbolt.

Hmm. Try the phone settings trick from my other comment. It's also possible they are just doing network updates or something.

I tried that without luck..Network app that I used is same as that...may be that's the secret menu that AT&T blocks...which is accessible from Network or LTE ON/OFF app...
Get pimp my rom and under tools there is access hidden menu which will get you there also. You don't have the network mode option under mobile networks?
Sent from my PACMAN MATRIX HD MAXX
It should take you to a testing menu the first of which is phone information. It is the same as you get by dialing *#*#info#*#* if you can get to that menu and it won't let you switch to LTE/GSM/WCDMA, then it probably is a sim issue.

All is well...phone got automatically re-provisioned and now can log on to LTE when available.
One thing to note though, LTE speeds are capped at 6-7 mb!
Thanks anyone who responded.

So what I'm asking for is if anyone knows a way, or a script to make the Moto X use 3G instead of LTE when booting up the phone.
((Currently using LTE ON/OFF for the HTC thunderbolt, doesn't survive a reboot))
LTE isn't always the best option for me so it shouldn't be my default. Thanks in advance!

What about this?
Settings -> More (Wireless and Networks) -> Mobile Networks -> Preferred Type
Change it to 3g from there and then back to LTE if you want later.
Hopefully this helps! Have a good day

I am pretty sure that menu selection is only enabled on the Rogers version of the Moto X (one of the many reasons I really like the Rogers build)
With the AT&T version that has a locked bootloader I am not too sure of other options.

So I picked up an unlocked XT1053 GSM developer edition a month or so ago. I got on Net10 and everything seems fine except for one issue.
When I am in an HSPA+ area and come into a known LTE area the phone doesn't seem to switch to LTE right away. If I toggle airplane mode on and off I get full LTE with good signal and it holds strong until I'm back in a weak area. If I am in an LTE area for a while after about 30 min or so it will finally switch on it's own, but I would think it should be much faster without using airplane mode. Anyone have any ideas?
Call your service provider and provide them your IMEI so they can provision your device.

LTE works on my phone though, it just doesn't switch right away. It seems like if HSPA+ is even one dB better then it stays on it. If I toggle airplane mode I get strong LTE. Is that a provisioning issue?
Is there a way with APNs or anything to make LTE take priority if it's present?
It could be the provisioning. You sim may not be fully provisioned. If that doesn't fix it.
You can change it to lte only.
Install a app called any cut. Create a short cut for testing. Select the first option and at the bottom change it lte only. See if it works. If not then the network isn't allowing iy

Well I ordered an actual nano Sim from net10 since they just got them. It will be here tomorrow so I'm sure that when I transfer my service to it my account will get provisioned. If I still have problems I'll try what you mentioned.
