[Q] Disable LTE

I'm using the ICS leak 213, and the CDMA-only option has disappeared. Any ideas how to disable 4g? I've got access to the programming menu, but there I'm lost.

LTE OnOff in the market, dials into the support menu (or whatever it's called) where you can change the radio. A bit of a pain, but better then having a dead battery 6 hours into your day.

This doesn't work on the Droid 4, the only option is to turn off the radio entirely.

Works for me just fine. It's not a widget, just a short cut. Select the drop down arrow about half the way down to see the different bands.

I'm not real up on the ICS leaks, I am still running GB, but I dl'd "4g toggle" from the market and it works awesome.

Thanks, I didn't see there was a menu there.

no problem, glad to help.

Thx for this thread I've been trying to figure out how to disable 4g. I downloaded the 4g toggle but it just links me back to my original choices of global gsm or lte/cdma. Any further ideas?

You need lte onoff as I stated earlier. Motorola has seen fit to remove the option in settngs to run on cdma only. the app I listed takes you into a support menu allowing you to select the bands through a drop down.
Widgets will most likely not work as the setting is in the framework and is not easily changed.

Works perfectly! Many thanks:good:

So I have been playing around with the LTEOnOff and was wondering if there was any information on the different types of radio's we can choose from.
EDIT:Since I poster this I found a neat webpage with a lot of information about the different radio signals.

Yeah, I think it's essential. Call quality sucks on advanced calling, and for important calls, I want an option to quickly switch to 1x calling

This would be great. I am also looking to get tasker to toggle it for me when I am connected to my home wifi (and others) Since you only need it when you have no wifi.

Sounds like a tasker problem

I suppose it's not available in tasker after all. Weird BC I thought nothing was off limits in the app http://forums.androidcentral.com/android-apps/538920-how-can-tasker-programed-toggle-hd-voice-lg4-widget.html
So unless you're a developer, I suppose there is nothing you can do to get a volte widget.

I know this is an old thread, but I came across it because I was looking for the same feature. I have Verizon, and I have a Network Extender in my house to get normal service. Well, one of the downsides of using an Extender is that you have to have your Advanced Calling turned off to connect to it. Because I want to toggle it on and off frequently, I wanted a widget on my desktop. So I found a solution after trying a few apps.
Solution:
1) download app called "Quick ShortcutMaker"
2) on top, change search from "incremental search" to "normal search"
- this is easier, because you would think you could access it through settings, but you can't because its not there
3) type in "advanced calling" and search, you'll get two matches
4) choose the 2nd one which is labeled "Phone -> Advanced Calling -> com.android.phone/com.android.phone.VzwAdvancedCallingSettings
5) put that shortcut on your desktop and now you have a quick toggle to jump to that page and turn it on and off. Its not an official toggle, but it does save you several screens
PS: you can do the same for WiFi calling. Just make sure when you search that you search for "Wi-Fi calling", the hyphen is important. It's also under the phone category.

I just upgraded my Vz network extender to the new 4G model. It supports advanced calling. It also fixed a problem that I had sending DTMF to an IVR system.
I sold my old 3G network extender on eBay.

I wasn't aware of a 4G model. I would like to look into this. Could you share with me the manufacturer and model # of it? I can't seem to find on google.

Awesome!!!! Been looking for this a long time. Still having trouble with my junk advanced calling. Works great even though says for older operating system. Now You have to add the widget to home screen first and then select it to add shortcut. So happy!!!!!!!!!!

How to use Hotspot and USB tethering for FREE (Sprint, possibly more)

Go into airplane mode, then come out, directly after hit whichever one you want to do (wifi hotspot/USB tethering) and it should work without problems. I have tried and used both. If you have an easier way, please share!

Go to An settings and add dun to the end of the pan type. Works everytime. Not just Motorola, works on Note8 and V20

"An settings"? "pan type"?
Are these typos we have to decrypt? I don't have anything like this is my Network Settings.

Lol if he's typing on this phone I can understand it, I mistype a lot on this one. But I do look back and fix them. You should try the APN settings and see if they work for you. I still gotta stick with the airplane mode method.

No they don't. Maybe in one of them, but not mine.

If you go to sprint.com you'll see on the front page they include 10 GB of hotspot data. After those 10 gigs I believe it's throttled. I've had this for as long as I can remember.

That's not the plan we have. We've had our plan since 2007. Everything family plan I believe

I did mean apn lol. I also used 253gb of data last month.

WARNING about switching to a plan with free 10GB/mounth Mobile Hot Spot: Despite confirming with the Sprint phone jockey that Google Voice carrier integration would still work when I switched from my Everything to a Freedom Unlimited plan; it ended up breaking the integration and "cancelling" my Google Voice account. It took me about five days talking to Google and Sprint; and only after going back to the Everything plan, I was able to get GV working again.

I just acquired a stock Sprint Z2 Force on Oreo 8.0 and the usual Airplane / Quick Hotspot tap fix isn't working like it did on the E5 Plus and Z3 Play, both of which were also running Oreo - the hotspot never activates on the Z2. APN's are all greyed out and locked and there's no way to add another one as of now. I need Hotspot in emergencies only, but I do need it for those occasional situations. Any other workarounds? Thanks!
Update - APN's can be added (not edited or removed) when the phone first reboots, but adding the dun command to the default "internet x.ispsn" APN - under a new APN with all other settings duplicated (as was suggested) - doesn't enable the hotspot as of now.

I was able to edit mine using an sq3lite editor from the PlayStore.

Add dun to the end of the internet apn, then change the dun apn to x.ispsn

Just search for your operator by numeric. Sprint is 310120

VOLTE(Calling plus) Working on Sprint Note 8.

So, I downloaded n app called shortcut master lite cuz I member here on XDA recommended it to fix LTE issues. Don't know of his name but I will edit with his name for credit. But I turned advanced LTE on(u must search for it).Did not notice any difference in LTE. Tried it initially but did not have VOLTE while making outgoing call. But when a call comes in and I answer LTE stays connected. So I went back into the shortcut app and looked up LTE Functionality. Found a setting in there which says VOLTE Test UI then in that setting I turned on the first 2 options which then have me VOLTE both on incoming and outgoing calls. Not sure if it breaks anything but I have mine off cuz not sure if it breaks anything.

---------- Post added at 12:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:21 PM ----------
so for better instructions to ppl,
1)use short cut master
2)Search for enhancedlteservices (should be com.android.phone.EnhancedLteServices)
3)Launch it and enable Enhanced LTE Services.
4)Next go to com.test.LTEfunctionality and launch LTEFunctionalityTest
5)Go to VoLTE Test UI and Enable first 2 settings to on
6)Extra precaution, restart phone
In no way i'm taking credit for finding this out. just made the steps more simple. Thanks OP for posting this. Please use at your own discretion. I don't know if this will screw up anything but i'm getting both voice and data at same time.

Wait, now I understand what you wanted to say.
You're saying it should say VoWiFi, while it's saying Volte on my device right?
It's not a issue. It would say VoWiFi, in India where I'm from, but i'm currently in Bangladesh, and here VoWiFi is not supported. Only Volte, which is also in a few operators.
And the reason volte is turned on by using VoWiFi switch is because, probably both are connected to each other
Anyway, I used a guide to get here.
I just posted this guide, coz I can't find that guide anywhere, and many people asked me for a guide, when I said, I was able to activate volte.
