I'm having trouble getting my 3g to run like it says... If I choose cdma only I am able to get 1x only but I still haven't even seen the 3g icon and I would like to use 3g when the speeds sent necessary
Has anyone else come across this problem? Or have any ideas for me to try
Thanks in advance

Im in a good 4g area and it randomly switches to 3G. Is there a way to make it stay?
You may not be in as good an area as you think. The signal strength meter is actually for 3g, even when using 4g.
Open the dialed and use *#*#4636#*#* and you can set to LTE only instead of LTE+CDMA auto + EvDo (can't remember exactly how it's worded.
You want to use the dropdown preferred network setting. Remember after switching, give it about 30 seconds to make the swap between changes.
That's a very handy dialer string everyone should know from memory.
If you want to disable the 4G radio so it's not searching for a signal if it doesn't exist in your area, go down to the preferred network and choose cdma auto prl.

There is a program in that market that will take you to the same place as that dialer string.
LTE ONOFF
I could never remember the string, and since I was going to need to switch to GSM networks in Europe I just used this. It works well. And the LTE only option is labeled is just LTE Only
(FYI: Roam Control does not work with the Galaxy S3.)
I need to be able to force my phone to roam while at work. How can I do this without using Roam Control?
EDIT: Nevermind - I need to change my PRL to Verizon.
Hopefully it will be built into some upcoming roms. I need the feature from time to time

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?

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.
I finally got around to modifying my PRL on my Sprint Note 3. I'm using PRL Helper to switch PRL's out. I first started with 65002 and it worked as VZW voice and 3G evdo data no problem. Ran some video with no buffering so speed was good and verified it was VZW in settings and the rome control app. Then I switched to the 53137 corporate PRL and it still works but it doesn't seem to roam to VZW at all, not evdo or 1X...nothing. I flashed the 65002 back and now I can't get any data on VZW and I don't see any 3G icon, not data at all. Am I doing something wrong or am I using outdated PRLs? Did VZW notice that I don't suppose to be on a corporate PRL or noticed that I was getting 3G evdo data then suspended my ESN? I use Rome Control too so now when I force into rome only mode I get no data.
