When change it I just back out by the back button...is there a diffremt way I should do it to save the gsm settings only?

Ok .. sigh... first off... the "bars" you are referring to indicates cell strength(voice calls/SMS) not data speed or strength. I think the atrix shows h+ no matter what as on my nexus it would change to H when using hsdpa and 3g for when on 3g and likewise for edge and even g **edit that's a cyanogen mod**. NOW as for switching to 2g only and disabling 3g it is ( settings> wireless & networks> mobile networks> select network = your choice) no need for *#*#4636#*#*
On another note if your getting slowdown on 3g try a restart... 2g is not going to be any faster.

Besides going through the different setting menus, there are widgets available in the market that will act as a shortcut to the last (or semi-last) preference. I have it configured in Extended Controls

i know what the bars mean. what i am saying is, i get a way better signal at home/work with EDGE. i want to be able to shut off 3g, like i use to be able to on my iphone to save battery, and i jsut dont need the connection at home and work.
i went to the settings, and mobile networks is greyed out? how can i get into that menu?

will it shut off 3g? and just keep EDGE? i have done it manually, but it does not seem to work?
no matter how many times i go into the 4636 screen and select GSM ONLY it goes right back to GSM/WCDMA
and i am so sick of looking service when it switches over from EDGE to 3g for ONE bar. what am i doing wrong? why cant i get it to STAY on EDGE>..this no service thing is making me wonder if i want to return this phone..

I forgot that I had to unlock my phone for it to work (canada, go figure) maybe thats why mine isn't greyed out.

After selecting 2g only mode, my Atrix still gets 4g speeds...
I am running the same phone under AT&T with 4.5.141. I rooted the phone and enabled the greyed out preference pane to select 2g only. Regardless of if I select 2g only there, and if I use the *#*#4636#*#* code, I can run speedtest and get 4g speeds .... Do I just need to go the cyanogen mod? Are there other preference panes that I need to edit? I am jealous of all of you out there who have successfully whipped their Atrix 4g!

You will have to flash the n_1.100.00r radio

Ok, so I think I'm on to something here, that I need to share.
I rooted my T.bolt, and lost data. I'm in a 3G area, no 4G.
So called Verizon and they had me dial ##778.
-Click edit
-type 000000
-Then under modem settings
-I changed Rev. A to "enable" rather than EPST
-Then rebooted the phone, and data worked again!?!
Now I'm concerned that I won't get 4G when I actually go somewhere with 4G. What are other people finding in the setting? Are you on 3G or 4G?
I'm wondering why/how rooting would do this to me. Anyone else experience this issue?
That doesn't disable 4g. Has something to do with switching between evdo and lte towers
Just tried this. Didn't work for me unfortuantely, but good attempt. I'm in Connecticut.
I did find something interesting....

[Q] Motorola Atrix 4G AT&T on Telstra in Australia, H+ to H+ calls cause crash/reboot
Hey crew,
I have an interesting problem. I have an Unlocked AT&T Atrix 4G device and I am on Telstra in Australia.
My girlfriend and I have the same phone. When she calls me or when I call her, both of our phones freeze, the dialer appears to crash, and the phone reboots itself! It only appears to be happening on H+ speeds, E seems fine.
Attempted Fix 1: Update Radio, no game.
Reading through the forums I found something that hinted that it might be a radio issue. I tried flashing the 1.8.7 radio to resolve the issue, as per this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=14325915
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1052914&page=35
Result: no game. I could call my girlf without crashing but I could only get E data speeds, no 3G or spicy H+ icons on my taskbar.
After that I tried to abort and flash back to the shipped radio file, and I was still stuck on E speeds, again no spicy H+ icon to be seen.
Attempted Fix 2: Flash back to standard, no game.
So I flashed back to stock 1.2.6 and then applied over the air updates to get back to 1.8.3. When I first flashed to 1.8.3 I called her and it was fine, but now the crash/reboot behaviour has returned.
[Q] Is anyone else having this problem?
Also is there any way to see what's causing the crash?
Cheers!
I don't know how this could make a difference but just to try all possible solutions.
The fact that you mentioned it only screws up on HSPA+ connections is odd, try delete all APNs from your phone and call.. and then re-add as per the settings found on http://ausdroid.net/apns
Hope it helps otherwise I'd have no idea :|
- DarkRyoushii
Hey bro, thanks for that. I tried wiping the APNs and retried calling. Still no game.
(FYI I actually got the APNs from configure-dot-telstra-dot-com-dot-au)
I also wiped everything and flashed back to 1.2.6. With a G or an E icon, we can connect and talk on the phone no problems. With an H+ icon, both phones crash no matter who initiates the phone call.
I'm open to suggestions... does anyone else have any ideas? I like to donate to devs.
Workaround: Disable 3G/4G (boooo)
Workaround
Disabling 3G/4G lets me make and receive calls from my girlf. She is happy. I am not. I want my data.
Copied from another forum.... can't post a link, I'm still a n00b
---------------------
Go to dialer and enter *#*#4636#*#*
This will take you a test page, then go to phone info> set preferred network type to GSM only.
To turn on H+ set network to GSM auto (PRL).
If connections reverts to H+ restart phone. If connection to H+ won't come back on in GSM auto> restart phone.
had this exact issue and was solved by flashing 01.87.00R modem
I don't have another Atrix to call here in Ecuador

This is driving me crazy, my girlfriend and I cannot call eachother. She has the atrix now and I have the sensation, it was fine between the desire and atrix...
What's this about flashing a modem? SC.'s fix works, but is not ideal...

Can you provide the link?
I'm taking it its NOT the one in this thread? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1052914&page=35 i.e. in that link is 1.8.7, OP is saying that it didn't work, you're saying 1.87.00R worked - if so where did you get it from? Or are they the same and you're just getting different results?
Also n00b question: do you need unlocked bootloader and / or root to flash radio?
Don't forget OTA update imminent that will also bring new radio
note: I"m also a Telstra user, had atrix for around a fortnight without seeing this issue, either nobody I know has a 'problem' phone or I'm just lucky lol
Is this thread dead?
Was just curious about network settings. Under the hidden menu my prefered network is set to wcdma prefered. Is this the best setting to use? This will still allow lte network correct? Thats what mine is set to default and if I try to change it it goes back to wcdma automatically. If im thinking correctly wont this automatically pick the fastest network available to me? Including lte? I camebto this conclusion because I do get the 4g symbol when Im in the signal area for lte. Also what kind of speeds is everyone getting with LTE? THANKS for the help! Just want to check and make sure this setting isn't preventing me from getting lte speeds.
The menu setting that you see is to only use one of the the technology's and the bands those the technology's uses to connect to the network (e.g. gsm,wcdma)
BTW. None of the l9s have LTE the l9 2 might

Hey guys, I have a few questions that I need to get resolved which MAY help in getting LTE Working solid on Verizon One maxes for those who Have T-Mobile, but I would like to confirm that T-Mobile LTE does work on the Verizon one Max. You don't need to flash ANY special Radios. You can even use Verizon's Latest Radios and it works. All that needs to be done is use *#*#4636*#*# to change the preferred network type to GSM/WCMDA/LTE and boom, it works. The Problem I am having is that you have to switch to GSM Only first, just to get it to Work on T-Mobile before you switch to GSM/WCDMA/LTE. Another problem is that when you reboot once or Twice, my radio keeps on going crazy Rapidly switching from No Service to T-Mobile and Back. I go back into *#*#4636*#*# and I see that it changed to EvDO+CMDA/LTE Mode. I would have to go back and switch to GSM only to fix the problem then back to GSM/WCDMA/LTE Mode to connect to the network again. And yes I have the fast.T-Mobile.com APN Already inputted. This is with both Verizon and Sprint Sense 5 or 6 Roms. So we know LTE works on T-Mobile with the Verizon HTC One Max, But it won't stick. However, I decided to Flash a Cyanongen 11 Rom to the One Max, I am able to go System > Mobile Networks > Preferred Network Type and switch it to GSM/WCDMA/LTE, Reboot, then go into dialer and enter *#*#4636#*#* and Switch to LTE/GSM auto (PRL) and it works flawlessly. No matter how many times I restart, I still instantly connect to T-Mobile's LTE Network. Texting and MMS works with no issue. So what I think the issue is that On Sense roms there is only 6 Different Preffered Network types to choose from but on the Cyanongen 11 Rom, there are over 15. Also, On Sense ROMS there is only a GSM/WCDMA/LTE type with no Auto and I think that's the issue. There is no LTE/GSM auto (PRL) Selection in Sense roms. Because when I choose GSM (auto) on Sense, I can connect to HSPA, 3G, and EDGE with no issues. So I am asking for some help in How can we get more Preferred network type selections under *#*#4636*#*#. Or is there some scripts we can change with the current ones that resemble a LTE/GSM auto (PRL) Selection. But I think that is the culprit in Getting LTE fully working.
And just to Confirm that LTE is working on HTC One Max Verizon Version.
Even when I put my phone in wcdma/gsm/lte my service stays outputting no signal. Even when I reboot it stays like that until I change the network mode.
I wish t mobile released a one max so we could get WiFi calling

I have come to use xposed module Intelli3G to auto select the network. It has to be set to you liking of network chose.
I'm trying to do this too. But the roms I have tried so far won't let me get into *#*#4636#*#*. What Rom did you use to get into it?

This does seem to fix one of the Issues, but I am getting Signal Dropouts on LTE when going from Tower to Tower and have to turn on and off Airplane Mode to get it working agian. Do you ever experience this issue?
I don't have to use airplane mode to regain a signal. In my area T-Mobile has spotty signal strength. That is one reason I use LTE but only when signal is fair to good and for long video streaming. Hspa+ for me is better on battery and suffice for Tapatalk, email, mms, market downloads, apk even short videos, etc. I stream more on the weekend because it football season.

I use to Have a Sprint One Max with it Unlocked as well and I only got HSPA+ Speeds with it. I never Went about getting LTE to work because I though it didn't have the Compatible Radio inside of it. I am hearing that the Sprint Version has the Same LTE bands as the Verizon Network Uses. But I would try to go into you *#*#4636#*#* (or Download Network from the Play Store) And try switching your preferred network to GSM/WCDMA/LTE and see if it works. Make sure, that your APN Is set to the Fast.t-mobile.com One also. That is all I did to get it to work on the Verizon Version.

Same here. Also, I tried switching bands and it did seem to fix the Problem, However it prevents me to Call out or Receive Calls because usually when making or Receiving a Call, the LTE Band goes back to 3G/H/H+ because T-Mobile hasn't Activated VoLTE yet. But it is good to know that LTE does work but it's not really Stable and Global Phone Friendly. The Problems really happen when Driving around or Going from Tower to Tower. Signal goes from perfect to NULL and just stays at 1 or 0 Bars no matter where you go. And you either have to Restart the Phone, Turn the Radio off then on, or Just simply Turn on and Off Airplane Mode to fix it. So I am just using WCMDA or GSM Only for the time being and I don't really want to go to a AOKP CM11 Rom because most of the Features I use aren't there. And just to Clarify, Switching/Flashing Radios and basebands does NOT Fix the problem. I have tried All sorts of Radios, even from T-Mobile HTC One Phones and just doesn't work.
I had used the steps in the link pasted under this to get my LTE working perfectly on the stock Verizon ROM with Sense 5.5 but after upgrading to Sense 6 these changes have caused some issues. The changes worked fine for a day but then the second day mobile data stopped and nothing I did could bring it back. I ended up having to flash a stock rom RUU to get mobile data to come back. I'm not sure why the data stopped on the second day, I may have been from other changes I made to dpi or adding on screen buttons or re-locking the bootloader to use the fingerprint scanner. For now I'm just using gloabal mode which gets me good 3G till I re-gain my courage to try modifying the settings to get the LTE again.
