I traded my Galaxy Nexus 32GB for a Note2 and it was rooted. The phone works fine but I am unable to get a 4G LTE signal.
Network Mode was set to Global, I changed to LTE and made no difference. I have also made the changes through the hidden menus.
Any ideas?

What does it say in the "About Phone" section of Settings?
Also, you reference not being able to get 4G LTE signal only. Do you get a data connection at all? (3G, 2G, 1X, etc.)

Ok, that's the current baseband and the latest version of that particular ROM. By your screenshot, I am inferring that your phone has the bootloader unlocked with a custom recovery installed. Have you tried installing another 4.1.2 ROM to see if that fixes the issue?
Also, I know you mentioned that you had already tried the hidden settings menu. When you reached it, did you select LTE/CDMA and see if your setting stayed? Can you post a screenshot of your "Status" screen in Settings? I'm interested in seeing what it lists for "Mobile Network Type".
Under Mobile Netorms
Network Mode
Preferred network mode: cdma/LTE/EVDO
I did a fresh install of this rom
★☞ [Rom] Jelly'Beans' - Build 20 [07/24/13][Aroma][Fully Customizable][I605VRAMC3] ☜★
Same issue
I restored back to stock. Same issue. I wonder if its a hardware issue.

Honestly, it looks like you have a bad radio. If that phone is still under warranty, then ask Samsung for a replacement.
If someone traded a Galaxy Nexus for a Note 2 than something must have been wrong with the Note 2.
Resolved now. It was a bad Sim card. It wasn't a straight trade. I added 90. He said he could not use the phone one handed.

I was wondering where the toggle to only use 2G networks has been moved since i can't find it on the usual location of Settings-> Wireless and network -> Mobile Networks
In my last phone (and to my knowledge, on all android phones) there is an option there to only use 2G networks. But on my Galaxy S2 it's nowhere to be found.
Has this been moved to another location? Has it been disabled?
This is a screenshot of what i see:

}
Hold the power button and select data connection.
There is no option called "Data connection". There is an option called Data Network mode but that simply turns off mobile data connections. This is the screenshot:
From settings select "Only GSM". That corresponds to 2G.

Another way to do is use the code *#*#4636#*#* >> Phone Information >> choose the network mode you prefer.
You can set it in Settings > Wireless & Networks > Mobile Network > Network Type > GSM Only
Or just download Extended Controls and use the widget
EDIT: At least it's there on mine
Hmm so it appears that my phone doesn't have that option. Maybe because it's carrier locked our something? It's a 3 phone.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
I think "3" is only 3G, nothing to switch
I meant my phone is from the carrier 3 in the UK. Maybe they put their customized ROM or something on the device and I am missing the option to switch to GSM only.
The *#*#4636#*#* option works but is not a viable solution. It takes too long to go to the option. Plus I will surely forget the number. Any other suggestions?
Get unbranded firmware?
Well I don't want to change my entire firmware just for that. If the need arises (could be very soon) I will but for now I was hoping for another solution
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
All Three network phones tend to have this function removed as by default they are a 3G network. Anytime you roam onto 2G it is using another network (I believe it's Orange) and costs Three money.
The 3 network in the UK only operates on 3G, so there is not GSM/GPRS/Edge option available on their network.
Same problem, semi-solution
I also have a samsung mini bought from 3 uk which I unlocked to use another sim and a sim in Africa (where I have to get a full day's battery).
I put the *#*# etc. number as a contact. I can't call directly from the contact, but typing *#*# is enough to bring the number up so I can copy.
I understand why three did it, but it is annoying.
I hope that helps, but if you found a better way, please share!
Use this
thanks,also looking for this
Also for Note ?

Will this also work for a Galaxy Note ?
Well with ICS on droid, GSM works like charm for voice & sms.
But i dont know why it is not accessing data
APN also defined well, SIM type = commercial in LTE settings
*#*#INFO#*#* also says "WCDMA Preferred".
No Clue about data
Without seeing what network carrier your on not much info can be provided generally carrier web sites have apn and there are also guides how to set up apn on android hand sets.

Hey thanks stylez, I am currently on Indian GSM operator Reliance and the APN settings are vvery well defined, infact correctly.
But the data does not seem to work. Do not know what can be the issue.

Ditto... same problem I'm facing since the upgrade from leaked ICS to final build.. same APN (rcomnet) is not working after update
mysteriously, rcomwap is working totally fine! i'm not getting good speeds though, but it works with what's app so its somewhat okey for me.

here are the settings if you are having any problem to configure
For the 912XT there is this program:
Restore Connectivity Settings
Motorola Mobility, Inc
Once again it's for LTE - the only reason I say, is that maybe I can't "See" a Restore program for the 910, because of my network/model/country.
Flashed ics again...data working fine now.

I think the problem might be the reception on your phone. Sometimes the 3G signal may be weak so your phone chooses the stronger 2G option. This happens to me often, especially at home where cellphone signal is weak.
Indeed, it is I.

Also, if you choose 3G only and end up in a place with 2G only, then your phone will essentially be "off". Obvious inconvenience were it in your pocket at the time.
Indeed, it is I.

:good:
I bought a pre-owned T-mobile S5 to use on AT&T. I've sim-unlocked it, rooted it, installed CM12 on it. However I keep losing service. This is NOT an AT&T issue, as the tablet sitting next to it is on AT&T and works flawlessly. Do I need to flash a new modem? Or do something else to make this work closer to flawlessly? I already searched the forums and couldn't find anyone with my problem.
Thanks in advance.
Possibly you have to edit the APN settings. I did a small thread on what you need to do to use a Tmobile s5 on AT&T:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-galaxy-s5/help/tips-using-g900t-att-t2975336
Thanks, I assume when I inserted the sim card, the APN info was loaded, as I've not touched that part, and it's already on my phone. That doesn't seem to be my issue. Any other suggestions?
I've been having the same issue for months. I went back to a stock rom and recently came back to AOSP, but I forgot I was having constant signal drop.

I am having the same issue. Can you tell me what modem/rom are working the best for you? Thanks!
Solution!
My particular solution does require xposed and gravity box module.
I noticed that the cell signal issues only happen when I'm connected to WiFi.
I created a tasker profile that toggles mobile data off when wifi is on and changes the data mode to 3G only. I used the toggle data 5.0 plugin (see for details) in tasker to toggle to change to 3G.

}
I then used the gravity box "change network type" action (see for details) to change network back to LTE and I used the toggle data 5.0 plugin to turn data back on when WiFi is disconnected. I guess this would be the end task?
I took a screenshot a couple hours ago of the result. Not one signal drop in 3 or so hours. I'm no expert in tasker, and these are the exact steps I followed.
I was having a similar issue with CM12.1 on AT&T using the G900T I actually posted on their forums about it: http://forum.cyanogenmod.org/topic/106617-lte-issues-cm12-tmobile/ however it looks like they're has been any resolution..I had no issues running stock, and when I installed BlissPop (CM Based) I had no issues at all.
Thanks for the suggestions. I will try them out.

No you have to edit the Apn often times.

Since the common hidden menu code does not work on our device ( *#*#4636#*#* ), there is another way we must use.
1. Download this app from the Play Store: Force LTE Only (4G/5G)
2. Launch app and choose "METHOD3: (Android 11)"
3. Under Set Preferred Network Type dropdown, select the network type you want.
-- to get 4G/LTE and below, set to "LTE/TDSCDMA/CDMA/EvDo/GSM/WCDMA"
-- to get 5G, set to "NR/LTE/TDSCDMA/CDMA/EvDo/GSM/WCDMA"
This was the only way to enable 5G for me since I am in Canada.
Only issue with this is that it may not stick once you reboot. You would have to follow these steps again.
Thanks man. This helped me with my Global variant. It got 5g to kick on when I couldn't see it in the menus.
Update - Found the shortcut keys to get directly to it
*#*#4636#*#*

It didn't work on mine. When I punch in the final *, it just goes to my contact list.
Although the app ForceLTE mentioned earlier by TikiThePug did work perfectly.
I finally get 5G all day long on a T-Mo SIM.
It's such a fast, beautiful phone and now it has all its functionality.

Hey I just started using Verizon coming from Fi. I have an unlocked.pixel 6 from the Google store what should my settings be? I know I need NR but what else or what would work best. I'm on new York it that matters at all.
And I can get to the menu via *#*#4636#*#* I just need to know what would work best for me .
I keep trying to set to NR/LTE/TDSCDMA/GSM/WCDMA ( Only way to get full speed on 5G
for some reason my setting keep resetting to NL/LTE/GSM/WCDMA (Very slow as if running 3G but says 5G)
How do I get my setting to stick Oh I'm on T-Mobile Network

It's always going to set to what your network tells
This menu isn't actually real control
