Download Any Cut from the market and make a shortcut. Choose "Activity" and scroll down to Phone Info, pick that. Voilà!
"GSM Only" is 2g, "GSM Auto (PRL)" will prefer 3g where available. You don't need 3g unless you're using the data connection, it eats the battery away.

That does randomly happen, I think if you try to use data after longer inactivity (after you were using Wifi for example), it might revert to 3g. Certainly after a reboot though, the standard option seems to be Auto.
Easy enough to change with the shortcut though!

I have the same problem, I am not on AT&T though, I am on bell
Edit: It's actually working now... I have reset my phone since I last tried, as I was having a different issue... however I don't think bell offers 2G???... at least not on my phone, because I get no service... There is a feature built into the phone that allows me to choose if I want "auto", "2G", or "3G"... and when I change it to "2G" same thing happens, no service... not able to call/text (not just no data as would be expected)
Woa, guys! I read somewhere (here on XDA) that there's basically no 2g anymore in Canada, that would be the reason..?

Yeah, that's most likely it, oh well, I guess I am going to have to suffer through always having data hahaha... My battery life is good enough for me anyways!
It isn't that much of an issue if you always get a full 3g signal, you need to be changing to 2g when you're in areas with bad reception. Either way though, I never use 3g unless I need a fast data connection.

Ooow, I'm afraid I don't know the answer to that. Did you try to do a factory reset?

I bought it in unlocked condition. But I got 'accident' while using the "AnyCut" application. I touched the "USA Band" (the only option) while selecting radio band. And now I can't get any of indonesia band.

Strange, mine does. Try rebooting and setting it on GSM again after that.
I have read people saying to use the minimalistic text trick to access these menus but not familiar with the app or trick well enough to do it and threads are blowing up too fast for me to keep up with. Anyone kind enough to share how to? Thanks

Have you figured out how to access roam settings?
I got power settings, but unless I can figure out how to get my phone to give me data while roaming, this is going to suck. lol
I found the booster port by chubbzlou has access to roaming
Roaming is actually under phone instead of settings

Maybe I'm looking over something, but I'm pretty sure I've gone through every menu in settings, and the limited settings under the phone "app" and I still don't see roam settings... You were able to find them in the phone app?
EDIT: For clarification, I'm not running the Booster ROM.
I didnt see anything regarding this and i have been searching and searching how to get this done. Some might say turning 4g off on this phone ruins it. Personally I only use 4G when i need it. Otherwise i want to be on 3G to save battery and data usage.
Download:
"Phone info"
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=myc.phone.PhoneInfo
Once app is installed, open app.
-Select device info
-For select cdma auto (PRL)
-For 4g select LTE/cdma/EvDo
(Doing this from phone so please let me know if link doesnt work)
I know that juice defender app does that.

I searched and i asked a couple times in the forum with no answers or guidance to answers. So if the other options work for you then by all means go for it. This app is very much like the lte onoff i was using on my tbolt so im familiar with the process. Easy and simply IMO. Hope it helps anyone else that may have been looking for this option.

togle between 3g 4g in i530?
in the whole XDA network there is nobody knowing anything about a simple an efficient way to title between 3g 4g IN i530? The way discribed on first post kind of leashes...
I never saw 4G option in the international version of galaxy s3!!!!!!!
btw it doesn't support 4G/LTE as far as I remember.
@OP are you sure your in the right section??
Your signature shows ' SCH-I535' which is the verizon s3.

You can't toggle between 2g/3g/4g on any of the U.S. versions as far as I know.
I have a note 2 rooted and unlocked running beans. I have it on global mode using an att sim. But when I put in a Verizon 4g sim I don't get cdma lte just signal bars. Would I just need to do this?

Go into the hidden menu and do ##rtn# should be the last one. If I remember right this may cause a factory reset as well so be sure to back up.

You *might* have to go back to stock if the SIM can't be activated for Verizon. The debloating process might have removed something needed.
Would a factory reset delete beans plus root/relock bootloader ? Thanks ! I will try both of your suggestions and keep you posted !
I'm just curious have any if you powered the phone on without the sim. Then powered down, put the sim back and powered on?
It is such an easy thing?, but maybe someone overlooked it.

the same thing happened to my phone when i tried an att rom. i have a replacement on the way now but i thought of an idea. could you go back to stock and when you put the sim card in go to settings> more settings>mobile networks> Access point names> and select the verizon one? if you could report back i think it might help me too but i dont want to try it because i dont want to go through the hassle of replacing the sim card again from my loaner stratosphere right now. mucho appreciated.
I've gone through this multiple times now. ##Rtn# will fix it, and you just need to make sure you didn't accidentally get a 3g only prl somehow

I'm looking to change the LTE settings as well.
sprint tells me I'm in a saturated LTE area, so im assuming that its there, just slightly too weak cuz it only drops in certain areas... if someone could figure this out my life at work would be so much better
anyone figure this out yet?

Call Sprint Tech support 888-211-4727 and tell them you need your MSL for your Note 3 and if they question you just tell them you are a developer.
Dial ##3282#
Choose "Edit" and enter your MSL
Go to Edit and to LTE
You can make changes if they are available to change but I am currently on the 4.4.2 KitKat leak and there are no options other than LTE on or off
Not sure if there were options on 4.3 cause I never needed to edit them.
This is what I found and messed with
