I wanted to know if it was possible to change the radio management of our moto x, or change it with that of an American one (I do not care LTE)
thanks

Not unless you are unlocked. Also not a good idea. You don't gain anything by doing that.

I don't want improve the power of reception, but i want to change the manage switching from 3G to 2G or from 2G to 3G
look the problem that i report Losing signal while switching 3G-2G-3G....
is there a way to change the settings PREFERRED NETWORK TYPE as in the secret menu on the dialer typing the code * # * # 4636 # * # * , and it's worth even after restarting the device?
I'll explain in the settings Motorola I only have 3 entries 4G (recommended), 3G and 2G

PREFERRED NETWORK TYPE
If I type the code * # * # 4636 # * # * in the dialer I see the following setting LTE / GSM auto (PRL)
LTE / GSM auto (PRL)
I would like the phone to fix this setting WCMA preferred maintained in subsequent reboots ]WCMA preferred
WCMA preferred
Can you try to download app from playstore, search for:
LTE OnOff
there in settingss u can put GSM only or (w)cdma only
Use an app like Radio Switcher
I had a similar situation with 3G being dropped and phone switching to 2G seemingly at the slightest hint of a weak 3G signal. The code mentioned above does not seem to work on Moto X (at least for me) but there are apps that will let you access the Phone Info menu regardless (no root). There you can set it to WCDMA ONLY.

You don't do it every time. You set it once and it stays even if you reboot.

You're right, you did say that. In my reply when I said "you" I meant and should have said "I" or "in my case", because for me it does stick. So the question is why does it stick in my case and not in yours. I have the T-Mobile xt1053 variant, and while the network might be the culprit I doubt it because it's the phone that requests the network type it wants to use, and the network should just respond yes or no, not force the phone to switch its settings. So my guess is a quirk in the phone.
I attempted to replicate your situation by doing multiple trials. First I set the phone setting to 2G only then used Radio Switcher (RS) to get into phone info and set it to "WCDMA only". With data on I rebooted the phone. And yes the data reverted to 2G! I did this three more times just to be sure and it reverted every time. Then I set the phone setting to "Automatic" (my phone setting only shows Automatic and 2G only) and pressing back the "Phone network type" showed "4G preferred (recommended)". I used RS to see the phone info and it was set at "LTE/GSM auto (PRL)", which I switched to " WCDMA only". Did the reboot test twice and both times phone info reverted to "LTE/GSM auto (PRL)".
But I already knew my phone could stick to WCDMA only so I didn't give up. I thought maybe the phone was not really registering my selection since I had been leaving data connected throughout these trials, meaning it was remembering the last thing which was set when data was turned on. So this time after setting to "WCDMA only" I turned data off then on again. Went back to RS and phone info to make sure it was still at "WCDMA only" then rebooted. And voila it stuck this time, phone info was "WCDMA only" and in the phone settings neither "Automatic" nor "2G only" were selected, both were empty.
So try that. And if that doesn't work... well good luck.
i'll try soon as possible

Anyone else in Phoenix? What kind of speed are you getting and where?
I'm in Phoenix, I'm not getting LTE, Im still on 4.2.1- However, I can pick up LTE but no data connection. I noticed last night when I switch over to 'LTE only' i had a few bars, no label next to it tho (as yours reads 4G, mine was blank). Not sure what I need to do...
Did you change the APN to fast.t-mobile.com?
Do I need to edit my APN settings?

I am having the same problem. I changed my APN to fast and everything, I am running PAC's new ROM, with .33 radio. Even though the ROM is 4.2.2 it's allowing me to access all the settings to change everything and all but I only get grey lte bars like the other users, no actual data. What am I doing wrong. Can someone give me a step by step link to get it working, I can change roms and factory reset if need be.
Are you receiving a 4g indicator next to your signal icon? What area of Phx are you in?

Good day!
I currently work in the "hollers" of WV, where, on my HTC EVO 4G LTE I had data roaming and could even tether at times when needed for my laptop. However, since getting my HTC One M8, I have never seen or had data roaming. Within network settings, I have:
Network mode = LTE/CDMA
Roaming = automatic
Domestic voice = checked
Domestic data = checked
I have roaming voice, but no data at all.
I called Sprint and the particular individual I spoke with was like, "That sucks, your old phone works because its a different version of Android and there is nothing you can do".
They were not helpful.
Am I missing a setting? For what reason would my EVO LTE work on data roaming but the M8 won't?
EDIT:
Solved.

I had all sorts of issues with Roaming on my first phone.
I think that's where my problems started.
Extremely frustrating issue.
New phone roams normally.
Are your roaming guard options greyed out.
You could try ##786# if all else fails (which wipes evetything and triggers reactivation)
Then immediately turn off roaming guards and enable roaming.
I'd be curious if your phone runs in CDMA only.
mine would run fine on LTE but no roaming. And would not run on most CDMA only towers
My gut feeling is that there is an Antenna issue in the phone that causes some bands to malfunction.
I have no LTE in my area.
I am not sure what the problem is, but I am going to have to bite the bullet that I don't have data roaming in the area I am in for work.
Perhaps in others areas I will. I have not yet seen it in data roaming, but i Haven't traveled much since getting the phone.
Sounds like you might have got one of the bad first batch phones. I would return it. My phone roams just fine.

You can hide it fairly easy without removing it. I feel your pain.
Flash the HBOOT that that masks everything out.
NAND Backup. Install a Stockish ROM and Factory Reset it.
And put on a Stock Recovery.
They will likely want to factory reset it.
To be extra cautious I changed my CID to SPC_004 (Harman). I have had technicians run an RUU to fully reset the phone.
If they do have an RUU it will fail and technician will just scratch his head. Their RUU will surely be for SPC_001 (if they have one).
These days I think in store service has really been dumbed down. All they do is reset your phone. They don't "diagnose" anything.
When you get back home all have to do is reinstall recovery and NAND restore.
Oh, you might want to remove your SD Card with TWRP backups and Custom ROMs when you bring it in

I noticed that you can also change Network Mode from LTE/CDMA to Automatic. When on Automatic you can then select the Allow GSM data option. Could you try that and let me know if Automatic and those options allow your phone to roam with data while in WV? WV is my home state, which I get back to every once in a while.
Yes, that is the whole point of the article. It does exactly that. Allows you to have data roaming on GSM, whereas it is not turned on by default. Those tricksters.

That's sad to know, there should be a solution here, did you try anything after that? installing custom roms, upgrading or anything?
Service at my home location was horrible (virtually no data nor voice) so I didn't want to do too much to the phone. It did do a ROM update immediately after I obtained the phone prior to going home. Sprints towers in my area just aren't ready for the technology.

Do they bump down to HSPA? Or stay on LTE like mine does? It only does it with Enhanced LTE on. Turned off it drops to HSPA and the call goes through. Any other call to any other phone, so far, works fine on LTE.

Anyone else notice LTE not staying selected when choosing network type?
If I choose LTE, the little green radio button shows as selected. All good. Back out to the main settings, then go back into cellular networks and see if it's still selected and nope! Radio button is blank again. Still says LTE, but the button is not selected.
If I go to select 3g or 2g options, button shows as selected, back out, then back in....radio button remains selected.
Does this for me on both of the new radios... 95R & 98R

When I set radio modem in LTE/GSM(auto) mode all is ok - phone registered and works in LTE network, but when I set to "LTE only" mode, phone goes to enternal network search and found nothing (no network registered).
I think it's because in "LTE only" mode phones set to only Verizon LTE band 13, not global LTE.
How I can make phone works in mode "LTE only"?
If I need to change this "prefered" Verizon LTE band, how can I do this?
I use Verizon XT1254 bootloader unlocked + SU4TL-49 (5.1) stock in LTE band 3 (1800).

Not wise to go LTE only.
If you go LTE only, what happens when there's no LTE?
Like when there's only 3G coverage?
Or want to make a phone call? (Phone needs to drop down to 3G coverage, since you are not using Verizon and would not have access to Verizon's VoLTE. I'm in the U.S. on AT&T and drop down to HSPA temporarily for phone calls on my Quark, since I don't have access to AT&T's VoLTE.)
I would never go to LTE only as that would ensure my phone could not make phone calls (on the carrier I use) or even have data at all times (in poor LTE coverage areas).

For some reason you want to cripple your phone in "LTE only" mode so you can't make/receive any phone calls (mobile voice calls don't work on regular LTE, only on 3G bands) -- and you wouldn't have the option of dropping down to 3G even for data in poor LTE areas.
So, what problem do you have except for the one you're trying to create?

I want to use "LTE only" mode when I share internet connection to my laptop, because my network carrier provide unlimited free LTE traffic, but limited 3G traffic.
I also use Huawei E3372h (USB-modem) in "LTE only" mode and it works OK, so why XT1254 can't work the same way.
In "LTE/GSM(auto)" mode XT1254 sometimes break LTE connection (about 2 hours continuous data stream) and switch to 3G, so I want to use LTE on force mode, as I use Huawei F3372h now.

I also use Huawei E3372h (USB-modem) in "LTE only" mode and it works OK, so why XT1254 can't work the same way.
In "LTE/GSM(auto)" mode XT1254 sometimes break LTE connection (about 2 hours continuous data stream) and switch to 3G, so I want to use LTE on force mode, as I use Huawei F3372h now.

Your Huawei E3372h (USB-modem) works in "LTE only" mode for extended periods of time in the exact same locations as your phone? Is it the same carrier or a different carrier?
Because in LTE/GSM (auto) mode on your phone, you should get LTE if LTE is available. You will get lower (3G/2G) either when LTE is not available or IF your carrier is kicking you off for some reason (congestion or maybe some kind of time/data limit). In those instances that you are NOT getting LTE now on your phone, I don't think you would get LTE by being in an LTE-only mode. I think instead you would get just no data, since the phone would not be able to downgrade to 3G/2G.
I may be wrong, but that's my theory. However, if your Huawei E3372h (USB-modem) works in "LTE only" mode for extended periods of time in the exact same locations with the same carrier , then I don't know.
There is one thing you can try...
I'm that same menu, press the three dots on the top right>select umts bands>usa only.
For me personally, this limited me to lte, and i had to reflash everything to fix it. I think 950mhz (to name one) was still working so this may not even make a difference to you

Yes, same location, same network carrier and even same phone number (2 sim-cards for same number).

Thanks, but this not work for me.
I found solution:
"LTE only" mode works only with radio MDM9625_104651.11.05.17R from VRZ_XT1254_5.1.1_LCF23.80_CFC_SVC / quark_verizon-user_LCF23.80_release-keys_firmware_upgrade_SVC firmware.
Thanks to sl2208 user from 4pda.

Interesting. So every update since that July 2015 XT1254 firmware upgrade breaks that mode on the XT1254? That firmware folder is not complete, by the way. Doesn't even have SUTL-49. But I assume you are probably on SUTL-49 already?
The dates in that folder are only upload dates, not release dates. The upload dates are up to a year off from actual release dates. And they also have XT1225 firmware in the "XT1254" folder, for some strange reason.
And I know it's from July 2015 because of this post:

Curious if anyone flashed this new file, quark_verizon-user_LCF23.80_release-keys_firmware_upgrade_SVC.xml.zip , Provided to community 2 days ago.
edit : just flashed onto a xt1254 with android 5.1 , it softbricked the device, couldn't flash most of the partitions. Downloading stock 5.1 fxz to unbrick, lets see.

I tried SUTL-44, SUTL-49 and
VRZ_XT1254_KDF21.128-15_15_CFC_SVC, nothing of these works with ""LTE only" mode. Then I asked on 4pda forum and user sl2208 tells me, that he tried all firmwares from this folder and only with LCF23.80 "LTE only" mode works.
this might be out of topic but kind a related ...
I'm using 1254 with 1225 stock India 6.0.1 ... I'm able to set LTE only and data working just fine (I'm using GSM Provider) so I dont consider this is some kind of problem before.
the problem for me is ... the default value is "LTE/GSM" ... and when there's call in ... it's drop to "E" not to any 3G network [H+/H/3G or umts]
is there any option to set it to "LTE/WCDMA/GSM" (might be from build.prop or else ... since there's no option like that in *#*#4636#*#* ...

There are two ways......
1... If your boot loader is locked you have to wait you might get official Verizon/Motorola version probably later this or at the next month...
2....If you are unlocked (boot loader )you can unlock the Boot loader and flash the 6.1 version.

Be better to unlock the bootloader and wait for people to upload copies to manually flash with unlocked bootloader.
If your bootloader is locked you will get the OTA, but your bootloader may remain locked down forever after that. Sunshine can't promise an exploit.
With unlocked bootloader you can have the official Verizon Marshmallow firmware AND do other stuff -- like root, install xposed, etc.
LG V40 keeps dropping cellular and wifi connection.. When ever I am connected to Wi-Fi data both the Wi-Fi and cellular network keeps dropping connection. If the phone is connected only by data network. it works fine. Have to put it on airplane mode then put on the Wi-Fi to work. This issues only happens with certain Sims. With others works great. The sims are not the issue because the sims were tested on other devices
A few things to check:
1) Make sure you have data roaming turned off.
2) In Wi-Fi settings, disable 'Auto connect Automatically connect to an available AT&T Wi-Fi HotSpot' (this applies to AT&T Rom only, disregard if you have cross-flashed).
3) In Wi-Fi settings, tap on three dots, and go into advanced settings and make sure 'Aggressive Mode' is not enabled.
4) In Developer Options, make sure 'Aggressive Wi-Fi to Cellular handover' is disabled.
5) In Developer Options, make sure 'Cellular data always active' is enabled.
6) In Network & Internet settings, go into 'Data Manager', make sure 'Limit mobile data usage' is disabled. Also, in same menu click on three dots and select option 'Restrict networks' just to check you don't have any Wi-Fi connections restricted.
7) There is a setting to 'avoid weak Wi-Fi signals', which in combination with bad cellular signal at your location could also be causing this problem. I just can't find this setting in Oreo (or perhaps it is reworded into one of the above), if you are on Pie, it might be there somewhere, look for it and disabled it if you find it.
8) If nothing above helps, consider resetting your network settings in same menu where you do factory reset.
Other than that, may be someone else can help further but I am pretty sure they'd wanna know if you're on Oreo or Pie. What your native hardware model is, and if you cross-flashed, which carrier KDZ you are on.
Edit: Also, was the phone ever opened to replace battery or do repairs? Wi-Fi and Cellular antennas are pretty much stickers that clasp on and go around between battery and back panel and sometimes after repairs they are not put back on properly and can result in weak signals.
Facing same issue on my indian lg v405ebw with vodafone sim when wifi is in use sim network often goes out and only turning airplane mode on off or restarting phone gets the network back.
If wifi is turned off no issue in network reception.
Vodafone Sim works fine in other phones and other networks work fine in v40 too.

Lg v40
This is my settings
Am from the Caribbean. We have 3 network providers. It works perfect with digicel, but looses the signal with flow and inet. Could it be the network band. Inte and flow have the same network band. But digicel is different. What network band is carrier?
Wow

Yeah, no point in having LTE enabled in the Caribbean. I used Lime and Digicel on T-Mobile and Verizon phones when I was living in Grenada for a while. You are right, phone bands need to be compatible with the carrier bands but in this case I think some of the bands might be software locked too. For compatible bands check on this website, for example Lime and Digicel bands for Grenada: https://www.frequencycheck.com/countries/grenada
Also, i think by default LG V40 do not have all the bands enabled, they get region locked depending on which region KDZ you are using. Depending on which KDZ you cross-flashed to, you can verify which of the bands that are enabled in the hidden menu. I did not have band selection sub-menu on my AT&T LG V40 and not sure if you will have this menu in your phone or not but doesn't hurt to check. Just be careful not to change any settings in hidden menu that you don't know about, you can really mess up your phone if start toggling random settings. You can dial *#546368#*405# in your dialer and go in 'Field Test' then 'Modem Settings' then 'LTE Band Selection' and can try enable all bands. Depending on which carrier phone you have, you may not have these options available in hidden menu as my phone didn't have these (until i cross-flash).
