Is there any menu that allows us to force band 12 LTE connectivity?
On the Samsung devices *#2263# allowed selecting of the band.
Also, I assume the Z4 does not have VoLTE? When making a call it drops to hspa wcdma etc. Same as when it receives a call. Or it's not provisioned by T mobile due to e911 etc that I've read.
On T mobile.
Cheers.

From what I've read, it's possible to to disable the high speed connection and leave only EDGE and other slow connection by change network mode to GSM only. However when I tried that on mine, I lost all connections altogether include voice call, and left with "unregistered sim, emergency call only". My carrier is CDMA, so not sure if that has anything with it.
What am I missing here?
Hspa 3g only on gsm system.
For cdma you have 1x and evdo..don't know if you can disable evdo or not. Please see setting/wireless & networks

Does anybody know how to turn off HSDPA but leave 3G enabled in this device? I used to have a samsung galaxy mini with this option of selection band and saves battery sooooo far
go to
settings>wireless&networksettings>Mobile Networks
depending on your ROM you will get Use Only 2G networks and Use Only 3G networks

thanks but this isn't exactly what I'm looking for. Is an option that allows you to enable only UMTS and not HSDPA. You could use 3G but without the "H" icon, which means less speed, but more battery life because the device is not switching between UMTS and HSDPA constantly. I know that there's an option to switch only to GPRS, but that's not what I mean... thanks anyway!
Hmmm. When I enable '2g only' I can still use EDGE networks and so forth, it only seems to disable HSDPA - which is how I want it. What do you get when you disable 2g then?

He's talking about UTMS which is one step ahead of EDGE and one step short of HSDPA. I don't believe that there is any way to disable HSDPA only, however like the post above says, you can disable UTMS & HSDPA under settings>wireless and networks>mobile networks>Use 2g networks only.
Was just curious about network settings. Under the hidden menu my prefered network is set to wcdma prefered. Is this the best setting to use? This will still allow lte network correct? Thats what mine is set to default and if I try to change it it goes back to wcdma automatically. If im thinking correctly wont this automatically pick the fastest network available to me? Including lte? I camebto this conclusion because I do get the 4g symbol when Im in the signal area for lte. Also what kind of speeds is everyone getting with LTE? THANKS for the help! Just want to check and make sure this setting isn't preventing me from getting lte speeds.
The menu setting that you see is to only use one of the the technology's and the bands those the technology's uses to connect to the network (e.g. gsm,wcdma)
BTW. None of the l9s have LTE the l9 2 might

Honor 9N is a latest budget phone from Huawei Honor.
For Indian customers, it comes with network settings as 4 options ( LTE/WCDMA/GSM Auto), (WCDMA, GSM Auto), (WCDMA only) and (GSM only).
While the network signal is weak we don't get LTE band as it jumps down to the lower signal WCDMA or GSM.
Here I will explain how to enable LTE only option in settings.
Steps:
Download the app : Settings database editor
Scroll down and look for "hw_networkmode_preference" and change its value from "9,3,2,1" to "9,3,2,1,11". save it.
Then restart your device.
Now the LTE only option will be available in Settings > Mobile Network.
Remember one thing : You will no longer receive or make a call when you are in LTE only signal. It's because only Jio supports 4G calls (VoLTE).
If you are using any other Network Service like Vodafone In, Idea... Etc, use LTE only option only when it's needed and change into ( LTE/WCDMA/GSM Auto) later to receive calls.
Thanks.:victory:

I bought Honor 9N in India. To my disappointment, I cannot use it with T-Mobile in the U.S. Is there any way to change it? (Full confession: My knowledge of software/hardware is pretty poor)

You need to install this app for FREE
at Google Play
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.teknokia.force4glteonly
pro version : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.teknokia.force4glteonlypro

UPDATE: Use the app to select "LTE/CDMA/UMTS auto (PRL)" which starts as LTE but will switch to 3G to make voice calls. if you force LTE alone then voice calls won't work.
This is simple once you know how but otherwise most would probably assume a 3G only area or forget the device is actually 4G capable. So this another eccentricity of this model. I was told that I should definitely be getting 4G/LTE at my address when the phone would only connect to 3G. But various guides recommend changing "Network Mode" to force 4G. However this model does not have this setting. I had to install "4G LTE Switcher" and switch to "LTE/WCDMA" and now get 20.7 Mbps according to Google Speed Test, when on 3G I was at 11 Mbps.
