settings →mobile networks →network mode→LTE only.
I don't know if there is the choice on your phone. My device is also G9250,5.1.1,tomato rom,not stock rom.

Try doing this. http://almost-a-technocrat.blogspot...orce-only-4g-or-lte-network.html#.VlQ7ukast30
Or there was an app in the playstore that did the same but redirected you the one where there was a button or something. Used to use it on my Note 3 just forgot the name.

Hi, i want to do that, but for a baseband that belongs to the Galaxy SII I9100.
The thing is that i want to use 3G connection but with my current provider only works with 2G for this cellphone...
Don't do that. If you have t mobile it's going to happen

This...and if the OP has an at&t phone unlocked to use on t-mobile's network (guessin, since no info given by the op), he will only get the 2g --- that is, unless t mobile converts their 1900 mhz frequency in his area to be a 3g/4g freq instead of edge...as they have done this in other areas.
More info provided by google, if interested. :thumbup:

hello,
inside my work building the lte reception is extremely weak but the phone does not switch to 3g because there's still a little signal. on my old phone i was able to force 3g and the reception is pretty good. how do i turn off the lte on the note 2 and force 3g? i have stock factory rom... is there a way to do this without rooting? i've read there's an app 'phone info' but the one in the app store is no longer the correct one.
any help would be greatly appreciated!
thank you
im on sprint, but for me you go to settings>wireless and network>more settings>mobile networks>and you can turn lte off there.
im not sure if tis the same on vzw. hope it helps.
thanks but that option is not available on the verizon version :crying:

Thats how mine is, but you gotta goto acces points then theres 2 options lte and then like ehrpd and it swirltches u from 3g to 4g
Yes this is definitely a needed option. Maybe someone will develop an app like 4GLte on/off like they had for the Thunderbolt

That wasn't really a complex app. It simply launched the built-in radio settings.
I have an app that does similar for us, but the hidden menu doesn't work right for it.

Hi guys, did some digging last night, couldn't find anything... Asking now because time is a factor as I currently have no phone coverage...
I purchased a Note 3 with SlimKat on it last night. Had sprint check the ESN and it's fine, we tried to activate it but only the internet (Data) portion of the phone will activate. I can't get the actual phone service to activate. (Your account can not be validated. <--error message over the phone when trying to make any call)
Here are my questions:
1. Is there a way to force a refresh on slimkat so I can activate it? Or to manual go in and change the settings?
Sprints ## codes don't work with this OS.
2. Where can I find a factory Sprint rom (or one that is known good and will activate?)
I have TWRP and used it to clear the phone and re-instal SlimKat and the small app package they have with it.
Please help as I am running out of touch and need to contact some people for work today.... Thanks in advance.

You will be better off wiping the phone then install stock Unrooted kit kat then activate. Once you activated root and then flash what you want.

That would be great, how? I would be happy to do so.
1. Can I use the loader I already have on the phone to instal it?
2. Where can I find it?
I looked all over last night trying to find a "Factory Rom" and all I came up with were spam sites and fake down loads....
Sorry, kind of new at this and just want the phone to work...

Turns out this had it integrated in the zip as part of the one click. It's not Odin by itself but with the rom built it (it seems)
Thanks again!!!!

Yes I thought you were looking for odin so you can flash a new rom after the one click

Did you ever try Changing your "network mode" within Settings?
( 1 )Settings
( 2 )More Networks
( 3 )Mobile Networks
( 4 )Network Mode
By default the SlimKat network mode is set to some incorrect setting. Being as SlimKat is an unified build you need to select the correct network type or "mode" select the LTE/CDMA/EVDO
hey guys im a newbie with this so if anyone can help me out i would gratefully appreciate it. I just got a verizon s4 and im trying to get 4g lte . its complete stock factory settings . when i first put it on i saw the 4g lte sign then i messed with it and switched it to gsm mode and all i can get is h+ and the h icon.

What baseband and modem revision are you running?
It sounds like the area that you're in just doesn't have good coverage in the bands that the Verizon GS4 covers. If you have an AWS-capable modem, it might get you better coverage (if T-mobile has AWS, that is.). But in the end, you bought a Verizon phone. Using it on other carriers is always going to be spotty.

Well follow this to the T of you want to root and rom and also read read read as I don't have safe strap and doesn't apply to me. I have the first bootloader is why I don't really have to to much info on it. Also if you don't care maybe just update to the newest and have the newest radios to test. They are better imo.

Hi Guys,
I was looking to purchase this phone off of ebay for my mom. We are on the t-mobile network but since VZN Note 2s are supposed to be unlocked I was looking at them too. However, I'm looking at them and there are quite a few Verizon Note 2s around/under $200 on Ebay. Is that where the phones value is now? I thought they would be around $250 at least. The one thing all of these have in common are that they are the Verizon models. The tmobile models are still pretty high. Is there something wrong with this model? Are these like those fake chinese clones? Or is the value just at that and I should buy it ASAP? I don't want to throw money down for some random clone

Sorry, I'm still a bit of a noob, Does that just mean that custom software can't be installed on it? Like I said my mom is going to be using it so it will probably stay on stock.
Correct, no custom roms or root...depending on what version the phone comes with. What did you mean in your op when you said 'unlocked'?

aren't they unlocked to use sim cards since they are world phones? I know i have to change up the APN to get tmobile data but I don't need to put in random codes or anything right? I'm getting my info from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2044449

Step one in that guide says 'ensure your phone has root' That is game over if the note 2 has the latest update. You can't root it.

What about Method 1? Or is that not possible at all cause its a custom rom?
Method 1:
See Adrynalyne's post below (Post #2) for a flashable mod (via custom recovery) that will enable the Add APN menu by removing Verizon's block. (For deodexed roms only)

That requires a deoxed rom, so the note would have to be bootloader unlocked and had a deoxed rom flashed.

Yes they are sim unlocked all you have to do is pop the sim in and add the correct apn's although you'll only get 3g and H+ (no 4G lte)

No offense to that guy but he's wrong bc I and many other put their Verizon note 2 on other carriers with no issues (see forums like note 2 on other carriers there plenty of them)
Now as far as the whole bootloader deal goes for custom rom and root depending on the android version but just to use it stock on another carrier it's sim card unlocked out of the box no root or custom rom needed
I had my Verizon note 2 with a locked bootloader android 4.3 on straight talk (att sim) for months no problems
