how do i turn off lte and force 3g only? - Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II

hello,
inside my work building the lte reception is extremely weak but the phone does not switch to 3g because there's still a little signal. on my old phone i was able to force 3g and the reception is pretty good. how do i turn off the lte on the note 2 and force 3g? i have stock factory rom... is there a way to do this without rooting? i've read there's an app 'phone info' but the one in the app store is no longer the correct one.
any help would be greatly appreciated!
thank you

im on sprint, but for me you go to settings>wireless and network>more settings>mobile networks>and you can turn lte off there.
im not sure if tis the same on vzw. hope it helps.

thanks but that option is not available on the verizon version :crying:

Does #*#*4636*#*# not work?

The hidden menu doesn't work either to turn it off. The option is there but it doesn't work.

Thats how mine is, but you gotta goto acces points then theres 2 options lte and then like ehrpd and it swirltches u from 3g to 4g

Yes this is definitely a needed option. Maybe someone will develop an app like 4GLte on/off like they had for the Thunderbolt

That wasn't really a complex app. It simply launched the built-in radio settings.
I have an app that does similar for us, but the hidden menu doesn't work right for it.

Why did HTC or VZW remove the hidden test menu from ICS? (accessed via *#*#4636#*#8)

Why did HTC or Verizon remove the hidden test menu
from the upcoming official ICS update for the Rezound?
(the one that's accessed via *#*#4636#*#8)
Or did they just hide it better?
Just use LTE On/Off.

A second time: just use LTE On/Off. It does the same thing.
As far as I know they didn't remove the menu, the just removed the shortcut through the dialer.
It's still there its *#*#3646#*#* just used it for a bootloop

my guess is that verizon has yet to get the whole kink work out on the gsm roaming charge. they said they will have it on a few of their phones and I think once they got it all worked out they may unlock them and start charging customers. Stupid carriers.

You can switch between CDMA, LTE, CDMA/LTE, and various GSM bands. For most people (like me!), its not super important...but don't take away my options!

I'm not sure if this has been mentioned yet, but LTE on/off lets you access the hidden menu.

[Q] How to get Rezound's WiFi Hotpost working

I used wifi tether that was included on CleanRom 1.75 GBE.
Once I started ththering then it stopped right after that.
I also tried a app called wifi sharing.
I click starting tethering and it shows a msg "start tethering" on notification bar, but never get started.
Tried [MOD] Hotspot AP mode fix for GB/ICS too, not working either.
There's a thread about it in the development section. There is a search button for a reason

Is that really a ridiculous question for him to ask? You have a Verizon phone, why would he NOT assume you have a Verizon sim. In any case, as said before, search. Start by searching through the rom thread and move on from there.

Planning upgrade my rom to ICS, will report later.
BTW, I don't live in America, so I can't get a Verizon sim and I don't need one.
If there's some misunderstanding, I apologize.

Should have mentioned that in the OP lol. Since you don't have a Verizon sim, that's probably why setting profile to nexus lte doesn't work. I take it you are a gsm user then? Have you tried setting it to galaxy nexus gsm? Or other gsm profiles?

Can some please try Roam Control version 2.10.0 and select "Nexus 5" as the phone under the options menu?
This thread indicates that this setup is working on the Note 2, and I'm interested to see if it works on the Note 3 as well.

Looks like it does not. I switched to Nexus 5 then selected "Roam Only", it went to no signal for a few seconds and then hopped right back on the Sprint tower. If there's anything I can do to help get it going, I'd be glad to!

CM11 working for Developer Edition

This is the discussion thread for Hashcode's release of CM11 for the Note 3 Developer Edition. Do not flash on a Verizon Retail device. It will brick your device.

I take absolutely no credit for any of this. I did a little research and flashed the international N3 version of CM11 on my DE this morning. It's working fine so far. FWIW, I've not tested everything, but after one hour I've not found any notable bugs other that speaker phone (mic doesn't work).

This could be a daily driver, except for SMS not being able to send. We are going to need help to be able to use CM11 on our devices. I am going to flash this again, in a day or two and get a logcat. I'll post it here in hopes that someone can help us figure out what the problem is.

The data dropping is also an issue for their phones, and the devs seem to be getting a handle on it. The SMS issue is ours, alone. As such we will need help from someone with a DE to solve, I suspect.

not that i am aware of. not many roms to speak of for verizon if any. i am running viper beta and it is very smooth and very minor issues. great daily for me
I am running tams latest build and it's fantastic! 4g works, 3g works, camera works, text doesn't. I can receive but not send. Phone is running cool and fast. Very impressive considering the state of things last week. vzw dev edition. On a side note does anyone have any idea why I'm receiving but can't send text?

In the OP I posted a link on how to access APN. Quoted here > "OK so I was messing around in settings under mobile networks when I pressed carrier settings it immediately FC's settings but when I went back in mobile networks I got two notifications (just ringtone) and I now have access to my APN settings. Weird huh anyone else done this?
Edit: I have to hit ok on the fc prompt and go back into mobile networks before the notification sounds. If I'm fast enough the access point names won't be greyed out anymore"
Be sure to click "save" before exiting editing APN.
This does work. But after changing APN to VZWinternet, we still have the same two problems, i.e. can't send SMS and can't hang up from a phone call.
The problem is not with APN settings. These affect data, LTE, 4g, mms, etc. And we can edit APN for VZW.
I suspect the root of the problem lies in build.prop commands. I made a few changes to build.prop related to network, radio and ril. Result was either no effect or would not boot. This is too complicated for me....

Try doing this. http://almost-a-technocrat.blogspot...orce-only-4g-or-lte-network.html#.VlQ7ukast30
Or there was an app in the playstore that did the same but redirected you the one where there was a button or something. Used to use it on my Note 3 just forgot the name.
