hey guys, I dont know if there is a way to make my LG G2 to use LTE as a preffer network, it seems to switch to HSPA+ even though there is LTE connection. If I switch to LTE only via *#*#info#*#* I will get 2 bar of LTE but cant make phone calls, if I switch to LTE/WDCMA it will use LTE then wheen i make a call it would not switch back to LTE.

I really like this phone but want to make sure that the LTE connection issues are able to be fixed with a software update. I hope Sprint isn't BS'ing on this. I have a couple of days to return the phone and want to make sure this is fixable before deciding to keep it.
Anyone know if the Sprint rep who said it's a software issue is telling the truth or BS?
At heart it is a good radio. No reason it shouldn't work as it's supposed to. So, the majority of the issue is software. And it is fixable. Maybe just as good as S3 and iPhone 5 LTE reception?
The big question here is if Sprint will actually fix it this time. Know that there were fixes for LTE in 2 previous ota's. To what extent they worked on it before, idk. Thinking that this time is make or break it.
So, the answer is wait and see. U can get out of contract if LTE doesn't work for u though. It's apart of your service plan. Gonna require persistence on your part to get out after the 14 days is up, but u can do it.
If I were u and needed a good LTE capable phone, I'd go with the S3. Because at this point, it is up in the air if it will receive LTE like it should in the near future.
Correction first update was wifi, second was lte lol
Hope so. Has to be software related since both this and the s3 have the same radio. And, since the airplane mode on/off trick gets it working, I'm lead to believe its software.

Airplane mode trick???
I really hope they can fix this. I decided to keep the phone after looking at the S3 screen and build quality I just couldn't switch. I really love the screen on this!! It is just as good as my wife's iPhone 5 in color reproduction. The S3 is nice but don't like PenTile as I can notice it and I don't like it when whites have a blue color to it.
The Evo LTE has the same SoC as the S3. If the Evo was having hardware problems with LTE so would the S3, but that is not the case (according to what I have been able to look up). Therefore it can be concluded that the LTE issues are software and not hardware.

AKA Airplane Mode Dance
If you are in an LTE area and your phone is stuck on 3G, or if your phone is on LTE and it drops back down to 3G, then toggling Airplane Mode ON and back OFF will make the radio scan and re-latch to LTE.
That's the problem with our EVOs, it's an LTE threshold and handoff problem.
I live right on the edge of LTE coverage, so my phone will handoff to 3G because it decides the LTE signal is too weak. The problem is, in my area a "weak" LTE signal is MUCH faster than a strong 3G signal. If I go into my radio options and choose "LTE only" it will hold LTE signal all day long. So the signal is there, albeit weak.
What we need is a software fix that will change our radio's signal threshold so that it will prioritize a weaker LTE signal over 3G.
I'm tired of doing the airplane mode dance. If LTE is available, I want my EVO to latch on and stay on it even if it's weak.

I use to get spotty LTE here in san Antonio so I thought it was the radio. But now I've been getting it pretty consistantly everywhere. So now I'm starting to think its there towers or something

Using a Sense ROM, open your phone dialer and type *#*#4636#*#*
Select "Phone Information" then scroll down to "Preferred Network Type" and that should give you the option you're looking for

Or download the app "network" from playstore. Let's u do the same thing while less obtrusive and gives u more options.

Can you link it? I'm finding various apps named "network" something or another but none with just that solely as the title
The icon changed so I had a bit of trouble finding it but here you go Network app

Thanks guys! Installing app now and have the data code saved for a rainy day as well
Edit : after switching to lte only, I get no data (voice or sms) but im able to run a speed test using 4g. I live in L.A. but I connect to an Albuquerque, New Mexico server I'm not sure what else I'm to do to enable lte only and keep data
It's NOT true for me that switching it to LTE only will keep it connected. I still only keep the connection for about 10 seconds and then it goes back to 3G. My understanding is that option in both *#*#4634#*#* and ##DATA# is "preferred mode." It will drop back to 3G.
And I know for sure that Sprint and HTC have an open ticket on this issue of aquiring and keeping an LTE signal. They will eventually get a fix out for it.
I used the network tool post earlier and set mine to cdma/lte... So I get 4g and voice/text.. no evdo. Which is fine by me because evdo sucks anyway lol.
Works great I now can keep 4g in my house like my gfs gs3 and not switch back to crap-do

Someone try the 10/21 build of cm10 from deck.
I'm holding lte and seeing it places I couldn't get it before even when set to lte only.
This has completely corrected the issue for me.

Pretty sure 4g is LTE from what I've read. You can also try dialing *#*#4636#*#* go into phone information, (make sure you turn WiFi off) change the settings to one with LTE. Sometimes you need to turn the radio off then on again and see if that helps. Sometimes you have to toggle between them a few times. When LTE catches you should reboot. Also unless you're in an LTE area it won't show

I went into that menu but i don't have a button or setting for LTE. I did however do the *#2263# and selected LTE and thatvseems ti work but its goes back to Edge even if there's LTE. Im on a stock Rom. I attached the screen shot of the menu you gave me..
Did you change/add an APN setting?

I just switched back over to TMO today. I flashed the UVLG3 modem as that seems to provide the best signal in my area. I usually don't get LTE at home, but when I return to work next week, I'll report back with my results.

Is there any way to force LTE only mode. I know it mostly depend on my carrier but I live in a fringe area where my phone keeps switching between modes. I used to be able to use *#*#4636#*#* but that does not seem to work anymore.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
I already had a thread with the same question one the day I bought this phone .
Anyhow , if u have better 4g signal reception in your area .just drag down notification bar , drag the toggles up and u will find some more toggles there .
At the bottom u will see 4g and click on it .
Now your mobile will be on 4g till u leave your area
Thanks a lot for your reply, that's my problem that I live in an area with poor 4g coverage and my phone keeps going from 4g to 2g as my carrier does not have 3g.
You cannot keep your phone in 4g network only . (I know u want to Force LTE only ) ,if so u won't be able to receive msgs and calls on that particular sim.
Soo everyone recommends 3g/4g as a mode for network selection.
And LTE only can't be forced on honor 5x
so ive had the v30 for a week and a half now and i noticed the reception on it is horrible especially when im at work i only get 2 bars, some spots 1 bar then other spots it drops to 3g at 1 bar.. is there a way to get better reception? ive already messed with the network settings its the same. i didnt have this problem when i had the iphone 7 or samsung s8. both of those phones always stayed on 4g at work. so is there a possible fix to improve this?
Which network?

It has to temporarily switch to HSPA for phone calls if your carrier is not letting you use VoLTE.
It will switch back to LTE after the phone call.

When i had the iphone 7 i had volte activated so shouldnt it be already activated? Or do i need it to be activated for Android too? My carrier said for me to get volte i have to buy one of their phones but i bought mine off ebay

Do you have the VoLTE toggle enabled in Settings?
I don't, because my carrier plan doesn't allow VoLTE -- but I have no problem temporarily dropping to HSPA for a phone call.

Hi,
I want to turn off LTE when I'm home since the 4G LTE speeds are really bad here. I've been searching online but all the solutions point to Mobile Network--> Network Mode settings but I only have 3 settings available in there and none is for 4G without LTE:
LTE/3G/2G
LTE/3G
2G Only
Is there another way to turn off LTE and connect to 4G? I used to have an old Galaxy S7 and it was possible to use just 4G.
Model Number: SM-G960U
Android Version:10
Thanks in advance
