For Optimus G you can change values in etc/thermald-8064.conf, not sure if you need unlocked bootloader or if root is enough.

Can someone help me? A friend of mine bought the G2 and he can't figure out how to go GSM/WCDMA... the only options are WCDMA-ONLY and LTE-ONLY. If he selects WCDMA-ONLY is there a sub-menu or what? Because WCDMA-ONLY generally would mean that when UMTS/HSPA aren't available, you have no signal. He is just tired of the battery drain when he's at work because of at&t's fringe LTE signal there. I don't want to guide him on how to change things when he's in Louisiana and I'm here and don't have that phone. I know with older Samsungs you could use a RAT selection menu to force GSM or WCDMA or both... Hoping that's the case here as well.
Thanks!

He can try elixir2 from Google play. Open it, go to information > device > telephony > turn 4g on > select preferred network type. Here he can choose every possible combination of "or" or "only" 2g 3g 4g. Not all of the settings stick all the time but it might be worth a try.

Going to ##DATA#, and editing the EVDO profile to CDMA HDR Only, I find, gives me the best speeds. The default is CDMA LTE HDR Only. It pains me that LTE is still yet not available in the PDX, but it's what we have to live with for now. In this setting I'm averaging above 1.5mbps and my upload speed is always lower than my down, which is comforting haha

I second this post. I believe that with the integration of this phone more peoplewho had access to 4G and used it day to day is now in the same bus as everyone else is using 3G, hence the congestion.

Every phones password is different.
If you are rooted, you can use an MSL reader from the market.
If not, call sprint ask for your MSL code and (assuming you don't get a douche bag agent) they will give it to you.

I tried it and got improvement. Previously on CDMA HDR LTE I did a speed test and had D: 1128 U: 543. When changed to CDMA HDR I now get D: 1646 U: 841. It was connected to the same server for the test and in the exact same spot.
Quick heads up/fyi:
Going to settings/mobile networks/network mode then changing to "CDMA Only" is quicker/the same as doing the ##data## bit..that's kind of the long way 'round (specially if you're not rooted or don't have your MSL)

Yes it straightened out but it was more like 10 mins. Do you have to do the ##data# trick to get it on CDMA only or will just changing the mobile network setting do the trick? I've read on Sprint.com that if you do this you will save battery life if your not in a LTE area.

Hi everyone. Does anyone know how to disable the LTE radio so that the phone is only using HSPA+? I would like to do this to test its effects on battery life. I'm also considering the Nexus 4, so this would allow me to compare LTE vs HSPA+ webpage surfing experiences.
Given the battery issues I've seen, I'd love to see if this has a positive impact. LG was less than helpful when I asked them. The basically said that it wasn't possible.
But I am open to suggestions.

The build.prop does not need to be modified. That requires root permission to the phone. To shut off the LTE part of your radio simply go to settings > more (Under Wireless and Networks) > Mobile Networks > Network Mode and change it to GSM/WCDMA Only. This will shut the auto LTE off thus giving you HSPA+.
FYI, the battery life is significantly improved on 4G compared to LTE.

For your phone that is the case. For us at&t members with a e970, not a e971... we don't have this option in our menu. Build prop is what we have to work with. I find the battery life goes up from disabling data and killing apps with task manager. I can get impressive battery life via idle or talk time doing so.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=34766577
Go to WCDMA Only, Modem Settings, RAD options, and pick WCDMA only. I didn't notice much battery improvement though. In fact it may have been worse. It does run cooler though since LTE makes some heat, but you get about the same thing using WiFi.
To disable LTE on E970 go to phone and dial 3845#*970#. Select WCDMA-Only>Modem Settings>RAT Selection>WCDMA only. Automatic will restore LTE.

Actually, with the Base ROM 7.3 I have this menu.
I don't know about stock though.
I was wondering if anyone can confirm if there is a way to disable LTE? I just came from the OG Razr and I was able to use the app "Phone Info" to toggle the LTE and CDMA radios. Is this app specific to Moto devices and will it work with the Samsung Radio? Or is there a better way to turn off LTE?
I'm in a non LTE area at work and want a way to keep it from searching for LTE and draining my battery. Thanks!
Edit: I guess my question is, can someone in a LTE area confirm that it is in fact working? Not being in a LTE area, I do not know how to confirm that the radio is being shut off. Thanks!

It should work...I know it didnt play nice on some of the gs3 roms. Try it and report back.
I'm in LTE coverage and I've disabled LTE with the Phone Info app. Worked like a charm.
Yep, use the Phone Info app from the Play Store. Once installed, open it up and select "Device information." Scroll down a bit to a the box labeled "Set preferred network type." In the box, select CDMA auto (PRL). That will turn off the LTE radio.
Each time you reboot your phone, it will reset, so you'll have to go back into the app to change things.

I can change back and forth without any problems. After changing back, it sometimes takes a little bit for the 4G to pick back up. Are you trying to change it back in the phone's settings or through the Phone Info app?
You really dont need phone info. This phone you can change between lte and cdma. Go to settings *more settings and then mobile network. You can change between both there. If I remember correctly you can even put it in global.

Not true anymore. You can't switch it CDMA in the phone's stock settings . Verizon stopped having this option in the settings for any LTE device around the time that the ICS update went out for the RAZR and RAZR MAXX in the spring. It's not in the settings for the Galaxy S3, the DNA, or the Note 2. Verizon wants to move people off the 3G network and onto the 4G network. The only options in the stock settings for the Note 2 are Global, LTE/CDMA, and GSM/UMTS.
Since it can't be changed in the stock settings, that's why people are asking how to put the phone into 3G-only mode. There's a menu that can be accessed through the dialer, but an app like Phone Info makes things a little easier.
Yea, this option works great. I know each one is different, but with mine I had to go into the settings to get it to move back to LTE. Now that I am sure I can get LTE back then I will have qualms about using this. Thanks to the OP for this. Great IDEA!
I've always had luck setting it to "3G Only" in Phone Info, but have found you have to switch back to LTE in the actual Phone Menu.
I'm just disappointed this phone won't do "LTE Only". Was really hoping it would.

If you put the phone into LTE-only mode, you wouldn't be able to make or receive phone calls and texts. You'd only have data (and only when in LTE areas).

Not true. The Phone Info app changes the entire network connection, not just data. Going into LTE only disables the CDMA radio, which is used for both voice and 3G data. It doesn't separate the two. This is well documented across forums online from people who have tried it. I've also previously tried it on other devices.
On the Note 2, if you select LTE only in the Phone Info app, it doesn't seem to actually put the phone into LTE only mode. If you exit the app and then open it back up, you'll see that it's reverted back to the previous mode (either Global or LTE/CDMA/EvDo). So that would explain still being able to make/receive calls and texts if you tried going into LTE only mode on the Note 2.
But if the phone was truly in LTE only mode, you couldn't make/receive calls or texts.

On this phone you can't choose 3G only by default without an app or other manual commands. Options are for GSM/UMTS, LTE/CDMA, and Global.

Nonrooted, completely stock.
So, I got phone info, and chose cdma (PRL) only as discussed above.
And, I'm seeing NO improvement in battery life.
Measured anecdotally, over the last several days and from battery monitor widget.
I'm always at approximately 40% by 6pm (after unplugging at 650am) with average usage.
Isn't LTE a power hog? If it's disabled, shouldn't we see a measurable difference in battery life?
Any input greatly appreciated.

The LTE versions of the Note 2 are getting battery life that's on par with the international 3G-only version, even when LTE is in use. So I'm not surprised that you're not finding there to really be a difference. Significant strides have been made over the past year that have made LTE much more energy efficient than it has a reputation for being.
The only time that I'd really think anyone would see a major difference is if you're in a fringe LTE area where the phone is constantly jumping back and forth between LTE and 3G. In a situation like that, disabling LTE will probably lead to a noticeable increase in battery life. Outside of that, the battery drain will probably be pretty similar.
Interesting - thanks for the info!
Seems counterintuitive that turning off a radio and denergizing it would seem to have almost nill effect over several hours - especially in light of the article the other day about how VoLTE was such a huge drain (approx 140%) of regular CDMA voice traffic - due to the peculiar nature of CDMA+LTE with simultaneous voice and lte data.
Odd, another data point, on mine, disabling wifi as well seems to have no substantial affect either.
Maybe this is due to the Qualcomm ?gobi? chip? Supposed to be pretty badass iirc.
Hate to necro-bump this thread, but is there a way to do this still? For whatever reason, LTE at my desk at work gets almost zero data while 3g works fine (albeit a little slow). The app mentioned previously doesn't seem to have any way to change settings.

I actually noticed quite the opposite... However it's only been a little over a day of owning this device. I'm also coming from a note 2.
Yup i mostly get 1-3 bars no higher than tha on LTE. on H i get 5.
This is my first phone on the At&t network and my bars are between 1&2 sometimes 3. I figured this was just normal since I have no other phone compared with. But regardless of what my signal says, I have no problems with dropped calls and my data is the fastest I've ever seen on any network so I'm not complaining.

In settings -> mobile data, you can change the Network mode. I can't do, anything that is there is greyed out and I can't change what type of network I am on. The HTC One X I was able to , this one , no.

Mine is a Rogers one, not an AT&T one, probably that's why.
Noticed for the last couple of days that the phone will switch to 3G when I know there is an LTE connection. Switching it into Airplane Mode and back kicks in LTE again. This happens frequently. I know there aren't many Verizon G3 users yet but I'm curious if anyone else is having this problem.
Could you post a picture of your back cover? I know people are wondering if it has Qi charging or not.

In regards to the 3G issue, you can try updating the PRL and see if that fixes the problem. I have similar issues with other devices. It deals with the SNR on the device. Most of the time the LTE signal is far lower than the 3G so it will switch.

What is that white looking thing under the two NFC contacts? is that metal or just something on the case?
Basically, does QI work out of the box?

I have two QI Nokia Chargers are home and it won't charge on either. No idea what the white thing is.
So 4G LTE is not good on this device Alla note 3

Let's stay positive here lol..
This has been discussed with other phones. When the phone is performing actual phone operations (calls, texts, and other such communications), it is using 3G. Some manufacturers actually make it indicate this is happening with the switch back and forth. I've seen phones updated so it no longer does this because people assume it's a problem with the phone's reception.

Are you using VZW or AT&T? (your user info states AT&T). Most AT&T areas other than major cities and suburbs is not a 4g LTE connection, its HSPA, so your spectrum for your area may not be as strong. Secondly going to your local brick and mortar store and getting a new SIM is always a good starting point and one of the easiest possible fixes.
I'm using Verizon. My profile hasn't been updated.

Oh Boy
I have noticed this happening very often Im in the same office where I used all my LTE Verizon phones in the same office and never had this problem of signal switching to 3G. Not good.
Update: I've noticed that if I switch from Global to CDMA LTE the 4G lte signal stays.. I'll keep my fingers crossed and update.

I did that also, ended up doing it again. I returned my LG G3 and return to the HTC One M8. I'll miss the G3 camera but the lag really bothered me.

What do you mean by lag?

Status bar drop down lag, swiping lag, recents lag. I don't mean data connection, LTE speed, just talking about how slow the UI feels.
I'm too impatient to wait for the bootloader unlock. Once it gets unlocked I might come back, but i'm used to the lag free HTC One m8.

There must be an issue with a certain batch or something, I really have zero lag.
I have this issue as well, phone just randomly drops to 3g when I pull it out of my pocket. S5 right beside it, stays on 4g

This is happening to me too and is incredibly frustrating. I only got the G3 because my Moto X was destroyed by a roller coaster, but in areas where my Moto X easily kept 4G my G3 keeps dropping down to 3G, forcing me to fix it by activating airplane mode. I'm wondering if I should return it for a new one, or if this is a software issue that is affecting all phones. I have 13 days left to decide, but if this is affecting a wide range of users I may pick a different phone.
