Open the phone app, dial *#*#4636#*#*, then go to phone information, then scroll down and change CDMA Auto (PRL) to EvDo only, then you are done

Now is this good for when you want to do say a DL and don't want an interruption? I think evdo only should do it. You know how some browsers don't do calls and DLs well. Boat is good though.

I was looking.g for this as an app a while back. So I could tether in peace lol not data stopping due to calls and texts
Sent from my DROID X2 using Xparent Blue Tapatalk
Try it yet? I mean the change of settings.
I use it all the time no texts or calls come in while on evdo only. Makes tethering much more pleasant. Texts come in right after changing back to dual cdma/evdo only.
Now if I could figure out a shortcut to changing.

Wonder if something like adw launcher ex that allows custom shortcut creation would let u create a shortcut to that somehow....
Doubt a launcher would allow to make a shortcut into those settings but then again I've never used that one before

I use a battery widget called Quick Battery for this. I've used it for a long time without any ill effects on the phone. Anyway, when you first add the widget to the home screen, it prompts you as to what activity you want it to launch when you press on the widget. Select testing and the widget becomes your shortcut to the Testing thing.
If you don't want to install a widget like that, there's an app called Any Cut that you can use to make a shortcut to it. Open Any Cut, select activity and then testing and you'll have your shortcut. If you use Any Cut, when you select activity, it will appear to not load anything in the list (does on mine anyway). The list is there. Just scroll down and the list will appear.
I'm sure you can do it with Launcher Pro too. I've never tried to find the command needed as it was easier to just go the route I did. If you use Launcher Pro, you might try long pressing the desktop and choosing shortcut/activities in the list. There's a lot of system stuff in there that you can select to create a shortcut for. I looked in there for this particular one but I didn't find it. There's a lot to look at though so I suppose I could have missed it in there.

Im so sick of not being able to control the radio on my phones!!! I should NOT have to load cm7 just to gain this function.
If I want to force 2g then I should be able to. I can't stand that my phone constantly bounces from 2g to 3g all day at work.
I have resorted to using airplane mode all day. All I want to do is force 2g. Does anyone know of a way to do this without completely disabling the wireless signal?
Also, I am not very interested in apps that screw up the apns on the phone to force the internet to not work. I want a simple toggle just like the phones used to come with. Even when I disbale mobile network in settings I can still hear my phone trying to text over 3g one minute and then 2g the next. This constant switching is very hard on the battery. ESPECIALLY in limited service areas such as my work.
Please help.

There is a app that you can get in the market that's called samservmode. Its kinda tricky to get to but start up the app and on the main screen you'll get some options. Ill just tell you where to go
Main menu: choose option 1, debug screen
Page 2: choose option 8, phone control
Page 3: choose option 4, ue state control.
Page 4: Then you select GSM for 2g or wcdma for forcing 3g.
This is the only way I know how to do it on this phone, once you get the hang if it,, it will only take a few seconds to force either 2g or 3g. And to go back to automatic setting I would just reset my phone or the airplane mode on/off.

This is the same thing as accessing the debug menu through the dialer am I correct?
This means that with every reboot I would have to redo all of this.
It shouldt be this difficult! Thank you for the info though.

Try this...
Open up dialer and type *#*#4636#*#*
Select phone information.
Press menu and choose select radio bands.
Choose AUS.
For me this locks the phone to only 3g/"4G". I use this all day long due to the fact that my phone will constantly switch between the two while I'm at home. I can't guarantee that it will work for you but it's been a lifesaver for me. If it works the same for you, be aware that you will not have service in a strictly 2g area and would have to set it back to Auto to regain service. It also doesn't stick on a reboot.

This will put 2G at a higher priority than 3g, or you can switch to automatic to let whichever one has the best signal at that moment. Stock is 3g has a higher priority no matter what which is why you get disconnected.

This won't help me for 2 reasons but I thank you for the input.
1.) Im looking for an option that sticks after reboot.
2.) Im in an area at work that is bad for both 2g and 3g. So no matter what the priority it will always bounce between the 2 looking for better signal.
I need to force 2g.

SMH....no
SENSE is not just a launcher, Touchwiz is not just a launcher and BLUR is not just a launcher.....
there are specific drivers, and frameworks needed for each one, hell they even need specific KERNELS to run....
there is more than JUST the launcher. yes, it is a UI, but it is embedded in the dialer, the contacts, the accounts, even the framework....
ever wonder why you cant take the rosie.apk from a sense rom and drop it into another non-HTC device and have it work? probably not, because you dont know about the integration the UIs have....
its not JUST a launcher....its an entire UI....wake up
That I agree with you. But I'm almost positive that's not what he was talking about.
I'm not sure why it seems you have a chip on your shoulder about this.
Most people's view of a rom is the launcher. That's all I was addressing.
I know stock ui runs deep in a phone, but the main difference of what stock has that cyanogenmod or miui doesn't, is the launcher.

Radio is now 1.12.11.1119 and 4G is working inside my office building...no more having to go outside it seems.....
Updates to the Gallery. Now when you open it up you can pick the source
Update to the music app. Same with gallery...you can pick the source.
Update to how it handles 4G and WiFi..basically promising to turn them off when it knows it won't need them as opposed to always scanning.
Update to message app. There are more settings for personalization such as changing bubble colors and background
Low res contact fix which is common for all 4.1 I think
Color scheme change from green to blue to match JB
Pin enabled lock screen change
You can open up the maps to see where your pictures were taken
Stock browser has new look and is JB updated
Power saver
Keyboard has been changed up as well. Now can turn off arrows. Can't turn off prediction (well idk how to)
And more stuff...so far what I pointed out is just what I found to be important to me. I just now got to install this >.< I unrooted and updated.
Edit:
The HTC music app widget in the notification area now has the option to go back as well as pause and go forward
Wallpapers no longer scroll (figuring out of this is on purpose or if there's something i need to mess with)

I have literally had my phone for less than a few hours. But I thought it would be a great idea to share likes and dislikes.
Little bit of background, I am coming from a Note 2, so most of my likes/dislikes will be catered toward the upgrade from the Note 2.
Likes -
Mostly Everything LOL,
the screen resolution
the vibrant colors,
super fast,
the plethora of options,
blocking mode finally works,
no wifi nag notification,
wifi toggle works.
Dislikes -
The internet browser no longer sync with google,
can not use multiple lock screen widgets w/password or pattern lock,
4x4 grid on touchwiz (will be switching to nova).
I will update my list once I get to fully dive in. But so far 9.9999999999/10
I had mine for about an half hour. The best thing so far to me is the settings screen is 1 menu instead of 4 tabs . Sometimes its just the little things
Loving mostly everything, but again have only messed with it for a short time.
Only gripes so far is font sizes and in general DPI is just way too big and obnoxious. And lag when typing on the keyboard.

Agree with pretty much all of the likes so far, which is mostly everything about the device. My 4G speeds seem to have improved too.
Some nitpicks:
-new S-Pen feels much cheaply made than Note 2's
-Flipbook keeps getting activated when I hit the home button and accidentally brush by the screen
-Screen brightness range is WAY TOO SMALL (minimum brightness is too bright)
Several complains: desktop view does not stay on. I do not see the Note 2 developers options. I cannot remove the Verizon bookmarks as I was able to do before and restore from a save.

We should compile a list of differences we find from other carriers.
A few I've noticed are:
-not being able to "Swype" with the stock LG keyboard
-brightness slider not in pull down notification shade
-hovering text message? Maybe I'm missing how to initiate it
-special menu to disable the cpu temp limits like others (Verizon also has this issue)
Any others? I'll add them to this as they are found.

Hi all,
Just got a V10, loving it so far. Second screen takes a little getting used to, especially cause I'm one of those who grew dependent on customized led's. Is it possible to prioritize which notifications show up on the second screen when phone is off? IE I'd like to have my mail, kik, FB etc notification icons show up ahead of/have priority over any others? Is it possible to do that on stock? I've done searches and nothing's come up.
Thanks for any insight you can provide.
