There is an app in /system/app that implicates there is a hidden menu in the phone. Well I did some digging and here is what I have come up with.
Dialing 3845#*970# brings up the menu for us with tons of diagnostic tools and radio controllers. I believe for the ones who have wanted to turn off LTE, this is where it will be done at!

Just thought I would share this with you all. There is a post a little bit about it on the Sprint forum, but thought i'd post it here too.
For those wanting to try to log it into 4G only try
Service Menu > WCDMA-Only > Modem Settings > RAT Selection > then select one of those, if one doesn't work try the other.

Our official ICS version has removed the usual method to access the hidden 4636 menu via the dialer.
HZutils provides access to the hidden 4636 menu along with a few other functions.

This was developed on a HTC rezound and might not work on other phones.
It is not really free, as it has an advertisement on the bottom of the screen. When someone clicks on an add the developer gets a few cents.
If you use an add-blocker, this app will not function.

I am thinking of adding a fix-permissions button.
Anyone know of a fix-permissions.sh script that is free or open source?
Hi, I'm a noob when it comes to smart phone setup, but saw the success of people here getting setup on t mobile with the Sonys Z5's so thought I'd give it a try (got an Z5c E5823 from HK).
Anyway, setup went smoothly, except for some reason under settings/wireless & networks/more/mobile networks/ I don't have the option to enable/disable mobile network traffic. It isn't that the row is grayed out, it isn't there at all. There are only four choices in this menu (Data Roaming, Preferred Network Type, Access Point Names, and Service Providers).
Anyone know how to get this selection available? Or, is it in a different place maybe?
Thanks!
Try Settings/"Data usage", it shall be in first row.
Wow, thanks! We are now rocking on t-mobile. No idea why I was so hung up on it being in the other menu.
You can add it to the quick settings buttons (pull down buttons)
When the buttons are shown there is a little (looks like a pencil, with some dots under it), this is the editor for the quick settings panel.
Just drag the Mobile Data button down.
How to change LTE band on Samsung S20/+/Ultra
Works on both chipsets.. I saw this tip on the board so I decided to make a clear instruction note on how to use it.
Download QuickShortCutMaker from the Play Store:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...shortcut&hl=en
Run the app:
Go to Call Settings
Then select the LAST:
Call Screening option should right after Call Screen Emergency and one up CAMERA
Click on TRY
Click on Top left menu ≡
Select Band Selection
Take a screenshot to make sure you can come back to factory settings in case you have issues.
Pick the band or bands you want, toggle the SELECTION button on the right up corner.
Go back.
You are all set.
I suggest rebooting the phone but this is totally optional.
REMEMBER: YOU ARE DOING THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK.

Reporting that it works
Thanks
Thanks a lot for a tip
After the last Android update I did app lost its permissions and I can no longer access the settings menu. Would appreciate it if anyone has any work around as I live on the US Mexico border and I cross everyday any now my data intermittently works because it's constantly switching bands.
so the hidden menu on lg v60 has like a million options and weird abbreviations. I even saw one option that was "fake language" and when you click it it just to another page that says enable or disable. What does that do?
also has anyone gone through all the options and explained what they all do???
or what is a way to get better service ??which is my main interest. I know I can do RAT selection and force 5g but what about carrier aggregation and the other options. I would like to figure out a way around deprioritization. if thats possible
