I have been using an app the last few days that has really helped me at work. Where I work, I get very poor LTE signal. It constantly struggles to connect and frequently drops to 3G before reconnecting to LTE. This not only sucks when trying to maintain a consistent data connection, but also drains the battery faster. I’ve been using an app I found on the Play Store called Network Mode and changing the preferred network type to “TD-SCDMA, GSM/WCDMA, CDMA, and EVDO” while at work. By taking LTE out of the equation, I get a consistent 3G data connection and it has also improved my battery life. I change the network type when I get to work, and change it back before I leave. Anyway, just thought I would throw this out there in case there are others who are in the same boat.
Also, if anyone figures out a way to automate that process (with Tasker or something) let me know.

I'm sure you can change from 4G to 3G in settings of phone. That's what I did because I can't get 4G in UK so I changed to 3G settings. Moto Maxx.

That may be true on Moto Maxx. Unfortunately that is not an option on Verizon Droid Turbo.

1. When Im in a strong WiFi area with 3g/4g enabled and mobile data says "disconnected" will this impact my battery more than if u just left WiFi on only?
2. Does a nfc toggle exist in the play store?

You can install eqs mod or a Rom with it built in.
but it's ok to eat fish cause they don't have feelings.....
1. Yeah, I'm pretty sure "disconnected" uses more power than "off". WiFi does that, so logic dictates mobile data does that too. But I could be wrong.
2. Have you tried power toggles? Just stay away from their data and LTE toggles. People have reported that turning off LTE with the power toggles destroys the radio. (Permanently turned off). Just use the other toggles. Or you could use Floating toucher. Check it out. Its hard to explain what it is...

How would it "destroy" the radio
Its not confirmed, and many people have been able to toggle data/LTE with no problems.
The radio would essentially turn off and never turn back on.
I dunno. You can go ahead and try it. Chances are nothing bad will happen. If it was so common, then we would be seeing a lot more of it.
I used the SIM Unlock via API just to know how to do it. Didn't mess with any setting by dialing *#*#4636#*#*.
Now, I have no roaming settings under Mobile Network Options and am seeing "Sheldon Mobile" as a 4G GSM Provider and also instead of "Sprint" I'm seeing "Sheldon Mobi" in the top right while placing a call. Tries multiple sense ROMs and even an RUU to still see the same thing.
Any ideas? I use Modaco Toolkit to change the lock screen text, maybe that has something to do with it.

Did you try ##786# click menu and then reset? It resets network logistics back to factory.
Also, think if mode is set to automatic, that roaming settings are disabled.

Okay, that got rid of the Sheldon Mobi in the call screen and under available gsm networks.
Still don't understand where the Domestic voice roaming, domestic data roaming and other settings went.
Maybe something is messed up within the settings app itself?

Not sure I never used that SIM Unlock tool. But maybe since you are in GSM mode, there is no Roaming options. DEV's for the CDMA ROM's add that feature.

I SIM Unlocked another HTC ONE I owned and the roaming settings remained, not sure what could have caused it here...
I've RUU'd and tried a Stock Rooted ROM as well and those don't fix it either...
I am on T-Mobile
I know of the build.prop edit way, and the sqlite way .. Being on T-Mobile, which one of these methods is the correct way to enable unlimited data tethering?
Dirty Unicorns shamu
Anyone?
SimpleAOSP shamu
SQLlite. I am on a T-Mobile unlimited plan with no tethering allotment, and it works perfectly with the sqllite edit.
Not trying to be a douche, but you shouldn't bump a post earlier than 24 hours has passed. it's in the rules here.
Didn't know that sorry to the mods/forum..and thanks for the clarification on the tether issue
SimpleAOSP shamu
I am having problems with tethering. I have it working with the tether_dun_required 0 using sqlite
My problem is really strange it still accumulates on my t-mobile account.
I go to my account in t-mobile where I have 3GB of tethering
and it still shows up as MB's used and even stranger is the fact that I am using GB's but it only registers to my account as MB's.
Notification states wifi hotspot is on but no device connected.
This is a recent issue because up until a couple of days ago nothing registered to my account I am at a loss at what to try next.
I have tried on multiple roms with the same result anyone have any ideas?

they have to be looking into peoples packets. same thing is happening to me right now.
Soo I'm stuck I came from a note 3 and never had a problem. I have enhanced LTE checked. I flashed the Verizon radio, and ive tested on euphoria/benzo/etc no luck. I need data when IN a call what can I do?5m I can flashback to stock and call Verizon help I will pay someone money to get a successful resolution.
Did you activate it on the Verizon site? I did that right after I got my sim in yesterday and when I went into the enhanced menu to turn it on it was already on.
"In order to enable the setting on your phone, head into the dialer and type in *#*#4636#*#*. When you hit that last *, your phone will jump into the hidden settings menu. Choose “Phone info” and then scroll down until you see an option for “TURN ON VOLTE PROVISIONED FLAG.” Tap that and then reboot your phone (I had to reboot twice for some reason to get it to work). Once booted, head into your phone’s regular settings menu, tap on “More” under “Wireless & networks,” then “Cellular networks.” You should now see an option for “Enhanced 4G LTE Mode” and it should be toggled on."
Enhanced LTE is already under cellular network and when I dial *#*#4636#*#* i see the option remove volte provisioning flag tap it and nothing happened

If it says Remove, its enabled so it should be working. That doesn't make sense unless you're not on LTE when you're trying to use it?
Anyone got Stock Verizon rom
Mine says LTE when I make a call the lte vanishef
You turned it on via your account right?

Yes I did, I changed from global to LTE/CDMA on euphoria and its working now
Hello,
in my office, the network signal isn't the best. I have 1 bar at 4G, 2 bar at 3G and 3 bar at 2G. So the phone choose 2G all the time, but 3G is possible and fast. On my old Huawei, i had the network mode "3G only", but the realme has only "3G/2G auto", so it's still choosing 2G.
Is there any Possibility to force 3G or 4G?
I already read of the Settings Database Editor and installed it, but didn't find a proper settings item.
Also i tried to get in the engineering mode by dialing *#36446337# but it didn't work.
Thank you for your support.
Hello use this code on dialer *#2323#
Sorry, doesn't work. Nothing happens.
on the Chinese version of the phone appears the choice of network type
With the app "Force 4G LTE" i come into the screen "about the phone", where i can change the network type to "LTE/WCDMA only".. but it's full of ads...
i dont see any options to choose from as well (like 3G or 4G connection) default is just showing 4G

thanks for this I managed to force mine to 2G onl. any other codes you can share?
Force 3G only/4G only on realme device
I am using realme 5s and I have the same problem but finally I found a solution. You can download an app named "4G LTE SWITCHER(No ads)" from playstore and as the name suggests it has really no ads and it works for me!
