[Q] Xperia TL network selection

Does the Xperia TL from AT&T allow manual selection of available networks? For example, can a user force the device to operate on 3G when a 4G LTE signal is available?
Thanks.

You can do this on most Android phones. On the Xperia there is a setting for network mode, and on phones that don't have this you can access a special menu by dialing *#*#INFO#*#* where you can select network mode.

Thank you for that hidden menu, crabnebula.
The reason I ask this is because AT&T is known to remove features from stock versions of phone OS's (other than iOS that is). Manual network selection is one of them, but I can't confirm what models have that feature deleted.
Can anybody with an AT&T Xperia TL confirm this?

While you can get to that menu you can't change it from LTE (preferred)/WCDMA/GSM It always stays as that even if you select something else.

If you add the WAP.CINGULAR APN and enable it, you can change the settings type from WCDMA/GSM to GSM or WCDMA Only. The LTE option goes away.

You flashed it wrong, Now you have to reflash to the ATT tft and then flash the xperia tft excluding the base band to keep LTE

I have the same problem but mine is xperia V, I flashed generic jb firmware instead waiting to the JB firmware of my carrier but I exclude baseband in flashing the generic firmware.

It's possible those two people unable to connect to the LTE network, have the wrong apn selected (you'll need to select the apn specifically for LTE. (it's in the forums here).
You'll also want to go into *#*#4636#*#* and make sure LTE is enabled.

I'm using the right APN for the lte connection

[Q] no service when going from cyanogenmod back to 4.1.1

So I tried out cyanogenmod 4.2.2 but now when flashing any of the 4.1.1 roms (hd and trick droid ) everything works perfect except i get "no service". Sorry if this a noob question but I did plenty of searching and can't find anything. I assume it has something to do with 4.2.2 and then going back to 4.1.1. what am i missing .Thanks in advance

Have you gone to Settings -> Mobile data -> Network operators -> Select automatically or manually searched and selected your carrier? ROM's did this for me when I flashed them so I had to select it through that menu.

it was working till last week and on mashmallow MID Firmware. after launch of KSA region Mashmallow, i have flashed that. then i installed package disabler pro apk. then i disabled some bloatware's...
from next day my phone does't show 4g. only 3g is showing..
my carrier is Mobily KSA.
settings and APN are correct.

Have you tried going back to KSA MM with a fresh install (factory reset)? That will see if your subsequent steps caused the issue? If not, perhaps try dirty flashing MID to see if that cures it?

Note 5 sm-n920c to US Tmobile Rom?

Anyone know if I can reflash my 920c to a US Tmobile Rom or flash the modems? I just want to be able to get better signal instead of 1 or 2 Bars in most areas.
Anyway to fix the Low Signal issue??

You cannot flash firmware from t-mobile version, try to enable all bands and test signal
