Can someone enter *#*#4636#*#* in their dialer, select phone information, and tell me what their setting is for Preferred Network Type? Its toward the bottom of the page. I had changed mine a while back and forgot what the default was.
Mine is GSM auto (PRL)
I am running DSC rom .62b and am using the Streak with no SIM card.
Thanks. That's what mine is too, just couldn't remember if I set it that way or if it was default.

I have a new what i was told is an unlocked atrix on the sasktel network. i can call and text but i can't save my apn settngs to get my internet working. the wifi works fine but not the network one. please help, my provider won't
What are your current APN settings? Go to Settings >Wireless & networks > Mobile Networks>Access Point Names
Neither will mine. Unlocked Bell Atrix on MTS.
I have no APNs listed, and they never show up once saved.
Not sure what other network settings are..but I'm unlocked on Telus and my apn settings are: sp.telus.com
When I first entered them I had so.telus.com and had phone and SMS but no mobile data until I realized my typo.

Hello buddy,
i had the same problem and the solution that i found is to set a new apn and just set the following choices
1. Name
2. Apn
3. port
All other choices left blank.
I did that and it works perfect.

Tried that.....i can enter all the settings that is fine. but as soon as i click the menu button to "save" it goes back to the main page and shows no APN settings saved
Are you rooted?
If yes try to change the /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/telephony.db add the apn in there
no i am not rooted i did not want to do that till i knew i got everything running.
I tried and tried to get the Bell Atrix to work.
APN Manager: no luck
Network Info II: no effect when settings changed either in OS or APN manager.
Whenever an APN was typed in, it would "save" (proven by APN Manager) but not be selectable, it just disappears once menu-save.
Returned it and purchased a Nexus S, took all of a minute to get data working.

Perhaps i didn't explain correct.
Make a new apn change the first four choices and left the other unchanged(not blank)

i am rooted now. can you explain this method a little bit for me
i cant just change the first four because the MCC and the mnc are not registering i have to enter them manually. my provider says it is not reading them from the sim card for some reason. i rooted the phone now. i am going to try getting into it from there
The easiest way I found was download SQLite editor. Its a few dollars. Then open it and click yes for root. Go to dialer storage then telephony.DB. then carriers. Add your apn to the list. If eceything is correct it should work. If the phone does not read the mcc then you may be screwed though.

(all settings I left blank, leave blank, make sure you press menu, save to save)</br>
2) Enable Airplane Mode
(hold power button for three seconds, select Airplane Mode)
3) Open Root Explorer
4) Navigate to: /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/
5) Click on "telephony.db"** (this should open the db using SQLite Editor)
6) Select "carriers"
7) You should see a long list of APN settings for various carriers, Push the menu key to bring up the menu. Then goto new record and fill out the details from there. Make sure that the _id is sequential from the other records.
8) Press back twice to close the SQLite editor and you should be back in Root Explorer. Close Root Explorer.
9) Disable Airplane Mode

there is an _ID collum on the far left that goes from 1 to 80ish on my phone so when u fill that out im assuming you will have to make it sequential. 1 2 3 ... 85 etc etc

HI Folks!
I am wondering if someone knows How to set The Network mode to GSM/UMTS?
Navigating the phone tree:
Settings ---> Wireless & Network Settings --> Mobile Networks ---> Network Mode-->
Option Available:
Sprint Only!
Any CDMA!
Any GSM/UMTS
Automatic!
NO matter if I change it or not always when I reboot my phone it goes to CDMA or Automatic but always looks for CDMA.
I am using the photon with UMTS 850mzh so I need to know how to set that by default or how to hold that setting in the phone.
Also I would like to permantly Disable the "Roaming Guards" I am tire of switch off those thing everytime I reset the phone!
Thanks a lot!
p.d phone rooted and Activation thing disabled.
BOMB! bomb!
Set GSM UMTS
Dial *#*#4636#*#* -> Phone Information and select GSM auto (PRL)
Menu>settings>wireless&networks>mobile networks>roaming guards and clear the appropriate check boxes and that should solve your issue.

Hi everyone,
I have had this problem a few times when I flash a new ROM I can't send text or get data. I fixed it before but I can't get it to work anymore and I'm not sure exactly why, except that it is related to some sort of problem with the APN and SMSC (I think). I am with Cincinnati Bell wireless (CBW) and I'm running CM7
I set the APN data similar to what they have on their website:
http://cbwportal.wdsglobal.com/wap?...&manufacturerId=35&phoneId=3531&mobileNumber=
But when I dail *#*#4636#*#* to get to the phone info and enter the Hex value for the CBW SMSC # (+15132400140) 07915131420041F0 and change the network type to GSM/CDMA auto (PRL) neither will stay. The SMSC won't update and the network type just keeps reverting to WCDMA.
Anybody know how I can get this to work??? Many thanks
Hey guys,
I recently noticed that the default network mode on the Google Edition 4.2 dump is set to 0, or "WCDMA Prefered". Thus not enabling LTE on our devices by default.
It can easily be changed by using *#*#INFO#*#* on dial pad.
Im wondering if anyone knows where the default network mode is set or how we can modify the default network mode.
Im assuming its somewhere in Phone.apk or Settings.apk or some bool god knows where, if anyone can shed some light would be appreciated.
didnt work for me is there a diff code to enable lte or have i got to reflash a diff rom
I always used *#2263# to modify network mode

You guys are off topic..
I would also like to know how to change preferred network mode on my GE rom. None of the suggestions above work for me. If I enter the code *#2263# it tries to start something, but then it FC.
*#*#4636#*#* set it in there.
Set your default network mode in your build.prop too.

What are you using to set in build.prop ? The CM10.1/2 methods of doing this does not work.

ro.telephony.default_network=(8 for me because I work with CDMA)
With that I also add a lot of prop lines for the Verizon network specifically. You'll have to add your own network's information
No matter what you set it at though, if you go into network settings it will auto-switch back to WCDMA. I haven't fixed the link and switching yet but I did change that menu link to automatically open up *#*#4636#*#* instead of the menu that switches it to WCDMA. Kind of a work around for the time being.

The point is to hard code whatever property that menu is changing right into the rom.

I agree, and I haven't been able to get it defaulted to my network by the any decompile/recompile system edits I've tried that i found through researching/reading. I'd welcome the direct answer as to where that specific bit of code lies but given this thread and the lack of answers I'm going to guess that help isn't coming.
I've been slowly working through each core app and framework editing everything relating to GSM, baseband, and radio. But I've not found or fixed that menu setting that defaults to wcdma. I've found the menu but nothing that would initiate it automatically changing to WCDMA without even clicking the dropdown menu.

Hi, I am currently using the VZW Google Edition ROM 5.9 and have service and WiFi. My problem is it only connects to 3G, and not 4G. As advised, I have not gone into network settings, but I did open Phone Info and see that it is set to LTE/CDMA auto. Any reason I am not getting LTE?
Just a thought, but maybe you could check the APN settings and see if they are different than what you should have.

Thanks for the response. I am kind of new to this, where do I check the APN settings and how do I know what I should have? Thank you.
Do you have LTE coverage in your area? If so, can you use another phone/friend to double check if LTE is working? I only ask because we had LTE go out where we live.
Gir brings up a good point, I don't have 4G where I am (and probably won't for years!), but that may be simplest as long as they use the same network (although many carriers piggyback off the same network).
The APN settings should be under "Settings > More networks > Mobile networks > Access Point Names". On a stock ROM you have to get to the actual file through ADB, you should be able to see it if you have an aftermarket ROM. The settings for the APN will depend upon Verizon. Here is a good post with APN settings for Verizon, the first part is for Android.
Coverage could always be the issue as that has plagued me more times than not.
From the ROM thread:
Go into mobile network settings.
Verify that your CDMA subscription is set to RUIM and not NV.
For good measure go into the rest of the options and set it to CDMA/LTE, automatic, and allow data roaming.
Back out to your home screen.
Then go into Phone Info app.
Scroll to bottom and tap radio off.
Open the drop down list and select CDMA/LTE auto (PRL).
Turn the radio back on.
Reboot.
Upon reboot open Phone Info again.
Verify it is set to CDMA/LTE auto (PRL)
** you should have full service now * *
** if not * *
In Phone_Info(*#*#4636#*#*):
Try CDMA auto (PRL)
Then try CDMA/GSM/LTE
If those still don't work then your nv_data needs reset. The only way to do that is in the hidden menu dialer codes in a touchwiz-stocktype rom
If you destroy your nv_data and cannot get data back via the above you need to (stop screwing with your network settings)flash back to a TW ROM, enable hidden menu, and do a NV data reset via dialer code. After doing that make sure your phone is not in modem mode under diag dialer code. Until I update this section Google is your friend. And it is available information, verified. Your lack of searching skills doesn't mean pester my inbox...
I do have LTE in my area, as I had 4G before I loaded the rom. I do not have an APN menu under mobile networks. Do you think it could help to dial *228 option 2 to update roaming? Or possibly a new 4G sim card?
Anything about updating I would research first and be wary of... A new SIM card could help, but I'm assuming it is not the problem. Did you make a NANDROID before you changed ROMs? You could then go back and see it you still got 4G to make it evident if your SIM card is the problem.
FIXED
Just needed a new sim card. Thanks guys. I appear to be receiving signal bars with my LTE on the GPE rom as well.
