I finally got my Padfone X unlocked, and have been trying to get it set up on a different network.
According to the spec on the AT&T website, the Padfone X should support LTE Band 4 (1700/2100) and from my research, my network is the same. However, when I take a look at mobile networks from "Settings > More... > Mobile Networks > Network Operators", my network doesn't appear in the list (though others do).
If I enter the service code "*#*#4636#*#*" to get to the service menu, I don't see any option to change the band. I do see an options to "Set preferred network type" (which I set to "LTE/GSM/CDMA auto (PRL)") but the result is the same in that my network does not appear.
Any ideas how I can check what band the Padfone X operates on (or how to change it)?
Note: I've rooted the device, so I can poke around in the terminal, I just don't know where to look :/
After looking a bit more, I found out that I can pull up the `Band Settings` page if I run the following adb command.
Code:
am start -n com.android.settings/.BandMode
Bu it just brings me to a page with no settings :/

I was wondering if there is a way to permanently select a operator?
My network operator (Play) allows free roaming on other carriers inside the country (Orange, Plus, T-Mobile)
I get horrible signal in my work and at home with my "home" carrier and I always roam on one of the others. But I have to manually select that network and every so often I get a "refreshing SIM" message and it switches back to my home carrier (Play) which then gives me 0 bars. I then have to go into settings and select a roaming partner all over again (and this happens at least 2x/day)
Is there a way (either by editing a file/deleting a file or some app) that I can force my phone to only and always roam and not connect to my home network?
pssss.... there is top secret solution... when you will be in the roaming range, go to mysterious hidden menu, called: Settings.
Then, in the section called Network, go to the Mobile networks sub section.
When you'll be there, you possibly would find the most hidden secret feature: Network operators selection mode.
when you will enter this one, you can choose between manual and automatic operator selection.
Please do not populate this advice, is for highly advanced users only, and because of that it is hidden so deeply... in the secret document called: Owner Manual.
haha funny. But if you read my post you'll see I do manually select the network, but it still kicks it over to the home network every day.
if you unticked auto mode, it should not switch back...

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I did but it clicks back when there is some "refreshing sim data"
I looked more about the operator and it seems others have this issue with their android phones. It seems the operator forces a network update (I guess to cut down on their fees they pay to the other providers)
So my option would be somehow removing the home operator from the list of operators that the phone can connect to (if there is such a list) or some app that forces to only go on certain networks that I pre select. Nothing is set in the network providers as auto, everything is on manual.
Or of course change providers (but I'll have to see what the canx policy is)
While messing with the setting in the hidden Menu.
I unlock the T-Mobile LTE Network on My US Cellular GS3
Internet: T-Mobile US LTE
Band: LTE:14
Data Speeds 20mbps down 3.6 mbps up
Mms: Works Flawless
Now My Problem. i cant make a phone call or receive a phone call
My Setting
Hidden Menu: *#22745927
enable hidden menu

Now i have succesfully unlock The Verison GS3 to Tmobile on Edge is there a way to port that radio. to get cell connectivity.
or if anyone want to try to tweak these settings to get more than just LTE connection. or get Voice over LTE working!
Hi.
I am using a virtual network operator which relies on 3 different networks:
1st is his own now-in-deployment network
2nd that has no 2G
3rd that has 2G and 3G.
all three networks uses the same network name.
I usually manually select the third network through Settings->Mobile Network->Network Operators.
unfortunately, after every reboot of the phone (Nexus 4), it doesn't register on the network I selected, and I have to search it again and select it (it CAN find it when I search for networks).
my ultimate goal is to use tasker to switch between networks relying on the MCC which is different between all three.
is it possible to make the phone use a specific network operator based on MCC, and initiate a network refresh so it would "catch" that network?
I'm talking about a command I could issue through terminal emulator (shell).
my needs are somewhat related to this thread: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/...n-network-provider-as-soon-as-it-is-available
which is unanswered fully.
I'm rooted and willing to make the appropriate changes to system apps and recompile my OmniROM if needed.
thanks :good:
I have been trying to figure out why my Nexus 6 can roam Verizon towers (via Sprint roaming agreement) on Project Fi, but my wife's Nexus 5X cannot. Unfortunately, the only tower near our home is a Verizon tower so it's pretty noticeable once you step outside the house.
After some digging and help from some others, we've figured out that this is because the Nexus 6 is configured for "Automatic" under Settings -> More -> Cellular Networks -> System Select, and the 5X is configured for "Home". Unfortunately the Project Fi app hides these settings, so the only way to access them is to disable the Project Fi app, and use adb to apply settings put global hide_carrier_network_settings 0, at this point you can access the settings, and make a call using the Verizon tower. As soon as you re-enable the Project Fi app, the setting is changed back to "Home" and the settings are locked up again.
So what I'm looking for is either a way to override Project Fi changing this setting, a way to launch this menu even while Project Fi is hiding it, or some other way to force the 5X to stay in Automatic. Ideally would be able to do this without root, but I'm currently rooted in an attempt to find some way to do this...
Any ideas?
Quick update...
Found the setting: global roaming_settings
... 0 = home
... 2 = automatic
Appears that I can set them via ADB, but doesn't seem like they "take" the same way selecting the menu option does. I.e. Setting them and then querying via ADB settings makes it appear as though the setting was changed, but the network isn't picked up...? If I change via the menu, the setting changes correspondingly... What am I missing?
Edit: I'm guessing this is because these are "Secure" settings that are just mapped (not sure if that's correct term) to Global settings? So I can change them, but it doesn't actually change the stored setting?
If I go in connection settings, under preferred networks I only get 4G/3G/2g options. How do I enable 5G? I am running Oxygen 11.3 in Europe
In settings go to "SIM Card and Mobile Data" / click on your network operator / here you'll see a lot of informations about your operator and somewhere in the bottom , you have Network Preferred Type , click on and then you have 5G or 4G or else preferred ...
