It seems these services are enabled and connected when i look at the phone network info (*#*#4636#*#*) . I would like to disable these services, so is there any build.prop edits or anything to disable them, I am on Sprint and do not need this? Thank you
Does setting the phone to "CDMA only" work?
Yes. This enforces 1xRTT(which i actually prefer for my daily messaging use with IM/text). GSM (auto) actually disables it. And CDMA only CDMA auto enable it.
Are you saying when you choose CDMA auto PRL that GSM is enabled? Just want to make sure I read that correctly.

Yes, that's what it looks like according to the reading on Phone Info(*#*#4636#*#*), GSM/GPRS services are enabled when I switch to CDMA prl auto/ only . GSM Auto PRL disables it which I think might be weird.
I see what you are saying now.

I use automatic A to get EVDO service on Alltel's network b/c Sprint doesn't have EVDO where i'm at. Hell, I don't even know the difference b/w auto A and auto B. Anybody?
Anyways, Is there a mortscript or toggler that anybody has to do this easily? I've seen something like this on the titan forum before on XDA. The reason I ask is b/c I installed Iconsoft's Phonex and I lost the settings to change roaming. Pretty wack.
Thanks in advance.
So there is a setting burried down in Settings, More settings...Mobile Network. There are two options. CDMA and CDMA/LTE/EVDO. The CDMA option was selected stock. I have changed to the CDMA/LTE/EVDO option. Does this mean I will see/connect to LTE towers as they start lighting up in Atlanta-metro next week?
Or will I have to wait for some push update from Spring/Samsung that adds another connection type (e.g. Wifi, Bluetooth, etc...) to the mix?
The reason I care is that I don't want to root my phone until after I know it will work with LTE so I can ignore the sprint updates after that.
Help?
Would it be possible to create an app/widget in order to get to these settings more quickly? I know I shouldn't have to, but I'm finding that in order to stay on LTE, I need to toggle having just LTE turned on and not LTE/evdo. With WiMax phones, there was built in functionality to turn on only that radio since it was a separate radio from the 3g. It would be nice to be able to quickly toggle between only LTE and full mobile network.
I'm no programmer, so I wouldn't even know where to begin with this, but this would be some much appreciated functionality - not sure if anyone has even thought about doing anything like this or not.
Are you stock or running a custom ROM? Some roms (like viper4g) have a toggle in quick settings called Network Mode that lets you switch between cdma only and lte/cdma...is that what you're looking for?
Sent from my EVO LTE
I'm rooted running Mean 4.8. I know that I can switch between CDMA and CDMA/LTE, but if i go into dialer and hit *#*#4636#*#* and then go to Phone Information, you actually have the ability to turn on LTE only (no 3g).
I thought maybe setting this number with speed dial would be a quick fix that would cut out some of the steps, but it actually dials and then places the call, and I need something that just dials but does not place the call.
There's an app called network in playstore. It allows u to switch between whatever u want, LTE only, cdma only, cdma gsm LTE, cdma LTE, gsm & wcdma.
Has every combo/isolation u can ever want.

This is perfect! EXACTLY what I was looking for! I knew I couldn't have been the first person to think of it. It doesn't show anything like the images on Google Play show, but it opens directly into the Phone Information screen that I get to from dialing the code, with the ability to change my network on the fly.
Thanks a ton!
It's built into Viper Tweaks

Will this app work on non-routed phones?

Most likely. Nothing in the playstore says anything about needing to be rooted, and the *#*#4636#*#* command has nothing to do with root. You can go to the dialer and type that in to get to the Phone Info screen from stock.

Yes but i need shortest way to reach it...not go to tweaks>>Misc>>hidden phone info>>network info
i need one widget to reach in one click.
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.
I have never used google voice before. I know that Sprint has a google voice integration. Is there a way to use the google voice integration to avoid being disconected from lte when a call comes in?
If not possible is there a setting in the dialer code that would enable lte to stay on and avoid calls temporarily?
If anyone is interested I found the way to have uninterupted data while on lte. I used an app in the play store named "lte settings". I use it to set the radio to lte only. The only drawback is that no calls or sms or able to get through while it is in this mode. it is easy to switch back and forth. I use it if I am downloading or using tether and do not want a call to disconnect me.

This application looks pointless. You can just as easily access this menu by going into your phone and pressing *#*#4636#*#*. This allows you to change the phone to LTE Only, CDMA + LTE/EVDO, etc. It also lets you force your phone to search on a given frequency, such as Cellular, PCS, or Secondary 800 MHz.
Just for the record, the Sprint version will NEVER be able to do SVLTE or SVDO. Don't ask. It simply cannot be done unless you use VoIP software. The hardware on the Sprint version cannot do more than one type of connection, as in either it has LTE, CDMA or EVDO.

No secret codes work for verizon stock so that app is far from pointless...
Those of us in a new aws area would want to change to lte only to test it out or if we needed it data only.

How do you change to LTE Only, CDMA + LTE/EVDO in the ##4636 settings? Also how do you force it to search on a certain frequency?
