Since the ##3282 field test menu does not work on AT&T lumia 920 firmware past 1249, I have not updated my phone. Well actually I did, but then flashed back because I wanted the field test menu back more than anything else the update may have improved. I would like to update my phone to future ROM's but am unwilling to give up the ability to switch network speed. Has anyone flashed another ROM past 1249 meant for a different phone and/or carrier and still had full network functionality on AT&T (mainly LTE and internet sharing working) and also been able to access ##3282 field test or select network speed from cellular settings?
Bump
I would like to know this as well if anyone finds a solution to disable Lte on the latest firmware.
Hey!
I've had my Honor 5X for about a month and I haven't yet been able to connect to my carrier's LTE Network.
I know the bands match and my phone even shows my carrier's LTE network when I turn off automatic network selection, but I can't seem to connect to it. It defaults to 3G and the highest I've gotten is HSPA+. I've tried different carriers as well but it doesn't connect to ANY 4G network.
I have 4G enabled in the settings. There's no way to force LTE as Huawei has disabled the hidden network selection menu.
Any ideas?

There is a way to edit build.prop to force it to choose but I read it somewhere and now can not find it. May be someone can explain how to do it.
editing build.prop may help
search for this line in build.prop
ro.telephony.default_network=9
change it from 9 to 10
disclaimer: always do a backup before proceeding , and do not blame me if you did something wrong of if something wrong happens..
Reset APN.
I can't edit the build.prop file because I'm not rooted. Once I do root, I'll probably install CM13 so that won't be an issue.
What I wanted to know is why this is happening. It should connect to LTE whenever it's available without me having to force it.
Anyone else having this issue?

no one is probably have this issue, no one complained before, but just flash the firmware once and see.. gud luck
I bought a note 8 a few weeks ago. It is an unlocked tmobile note 8. I called metro pcs, gave them the imei and new sim and voila, it worked fine on 7.0. All features worked. tmobile let me know that the newest software was available. I installed and unfortunately now wifi calling doesnt work (doesn't give me an option to use it) in the connection settings > more connection settings. option. Anyone else having this issue?
(Update) 4/11 . I am seeing that many features are not working. Is there a way to reinstall a clean version of oreo? I have tried a factory data reset but it seems it may be corrupt (video calling not working) (wifi calling not working or showing up in settings)
I shifted to miui 11 from stock because stock Android didn't have the 'only lte/4g' option as we have very poor internet signals in our area.
But the problem arises when I updated my A3 to latest miui 12 port rom. Xiaomi removed the only lte option.
As I'm a rooted user is there any way to add only lte option in my setting?
I tried *#*#46..#*#* but it's not an efficient way I guess. Advanced Thanks
I know the code and the way to do this. I asked to know that is there any way to add that only lte option direct in my setting
The phone is relatively new and since it's not mainstream most carriers don't support it yet. Some people say they have VoLTE enabled and it works but I personally switched to Singapore EX and it seems VoLTE isn't detected at all so I started digging and it seems this issue is present in most Chinese phones. (https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/guide-activate-volte-and-vowifi-simple-and-clear.4116051/) In this thread they used the Qualcomm tool and exploit the bug in EngineerMode on OnePlus phones which we don't have an access to and since we can't root or unlock the bootloader we can't modify build.prop or change any system files.
-----Maybe it's my carrier, maybe it's the Singapore ROM so please if VoLTE and VoWifi works for you could you post here which country you're on, which ROM version and if you changed region before or not.------
First a warning: If you aren't tech-savvy, experiencing issues or want to potentially turn your phone in a paper weight do NOT try this at the moment. We do not have the tool to restore your phone back (wiping data might work but idk). You can send your phone to Oppo for repair but you might have to wait for a month or two.
I don't know if you need to unlock your phone from the other thread to have access to this mode(I did have it all decrypted during this test) but in addition to the *#808# engineer mode and *#*#4636#*#*(Where you can check if you have VoLTE enabled) I found we have access to *#36446337#.
In *#36446337# I managed to enter "Protocol test switch" -> "MBN TEST" and switch my profile from Common-Commercial(I think it was this one) to Commercial-DT-VOLTE. The phone rebooted and everything is fine but "MBN Validate" is giving me an error when I run it and I can't test if it works because I'm currently out of the country and my temporary SIM provider doesn't support VoLTE.
It's probably nothing and the error is because of the lack of developer files on the ROM but I need people who can test if these profiles act like the flashing from the Qualcomm tool in the thread mentioned above.
So once again if you don't have VoLTE enabled and are feeling a bit courageous - give it a try.
I think the problem maybe for those that changed to Pakistan build on Android 10 and then switched to Singapore ex to get ColorOS 11 and dual SIM meant that things like VoLTE do not work on those builds.
I did it a different way as wasn't bothered about dual SIM. I was on A.46 UK , waited for EU to get ColorOS11 , then switched to EUEX on sec5 and downloaded ColorOS11 c.57 through Belgium VPN.
VoLTE is working for me. it's not present in SIM settings( WiFi calling is) however when I look at my call log there is a VoLTE HD icon next to all my calls, so is working.
Since being on ColorOS11, I have tried several different regions on SEC tool, EUEX dual SIM, Singapore EX, back to GB CPW to check still works and now back to EUEX. Build number always changes to different region in about phone when I have made any changes and check however VoLTE has always remained working for me and is showing as provisioned in engineer mode.
I am from Germany and have a phone with Vodafone FW originally. I switched region to Singapore EX, than installed the Pakistan FW and got C.5 and C.6 via OTA. I switched the region to EUEX (DUAL SIM) and didn't receive the update to C.57, so I switched back to Singapore EX and got the update to C.57 when using VPN Hongkong, which was quite funny.
VoLTE and Wi-Fi calling is working fine with Vodafone, but you can't toggle it in the hidden service menu, it's just active! You can activate or deactivate Wi-Fi calling in the regular settings, but VoLTE is just there, you can't deactivate it.
Both Wi-Fi calling and VoLTE are shown in the bar on the top. With the former Vodafone FW, VoLTE was not shown with an icon, but it was nevertheless working.
Hy here T-Mobile shown volte and Vodafone don't shows but on the status bar there is the volte symbol

I am in the same boat as you. I rebranded to Singapore to get ColorOS 11 update, to use 2 SIM and Call Recording, along with Theme Store, etc.
While on my previous phone (Xiaomi Mi9) I had VoLTE and VoWiFi and my carrier supports them and my SIM has that activated by my carrier, on Oppo Find X2 Pro it seems for them to work is needed special Modem Profile for the concrete carrier you use.
My Carrier is not listed at MBN Test Menu, I tried all the profiles available there, all Commercial ones and all Volte Branded ones and they are not giving me VoLTE and VoWiFi options available in Menu or VoLTE or VoWiFi functionality.
This method used to work on Xioami and Commercial EU Carriers profiles gave me the VoLTE and VoWiFi functionality with just Activity Shortcut access to this menu on Mi9 and simple dialer code to activate VoLTE and VoWiFi switch in Settings.
Oppo Find X2 Pro is not sold officially in my country and by all carriers here and that is why there is no Carrier Volte Profile for carriers from my country and thus it is not possible to activate VoLTE and VoWiFi with other Carrier Profile from MBN Test Menu.
Maybe if we find a way with a Dialer Code or some menu to activate the VoLTE and VoWiFi switch in Settings first this profiles from MBN Test menu will work...
I am out of ideas for now.

I'm pretty sure they force disable most of this stuff with region profiles (/etc/oppoRegion* folders)
At this point I honestly care more about GDPR protection,VoLTE and removing tencent/heytap crap than call recording and theme store which I don't use anyway.
So my plan atm is to wait for Oppo to release android 11 .57 .ozips so that I can flash back to european firmware then I'll see if changing region to EUEX Dual-SIM works and it's limitations.
This method might help people on EU roms with VoLTE, and I'll test it myself in the future, but at least for now *#36446337# lets us adjust MTU, 4G bands and some other smaller network optimizations.
Okay I don't know where to post this but I found *#649010# and this is where it gets into the spooky territory. I never tried toggling any of the options but I think "Full-port switch" option lets us connect our phone to the qualcomm diagnose tool just like the OnePlus phones from the Carrier profiles thread. I'm just documenting this code here so we know we have an alternative to the OnePlus LogKit.apk option in our Oppo phones.

Interesting to find out what these options do.
For some reason, non of these codes work for me now after doing the region change a couple of times.

We keep telling people - you gotta unlock every time you change region and even then the unlock lasts a fixed amount of time ex. 24 hours before it locks itself again

Unfortunately, the tool no longer works for me to unlock, the codes don't work. I'm stuck.

Works for me no issue. Try adding cloudflare dns to your setup, tether your phones connection to your pc while disabling your main connection and adding the number values from the original thread, fiddle with the loopback driver, disable firewall in windows or your router. Everyones connection and setup is different you just gotta find a way to make it work on yours.
Tl;dr it works you just got to tinker with it

Did you have the call recording option right after you switched region? I changed to Singapore Ex right after I got the phone, didn't see that option. Then I upgraded to ColorOS11, still did not find that option.

You have to give permissions to 'Recording' app, then open enable it in 'Call Settings'

Do you mean recorder App?
Already given all permission but still no call recording option, and the recorder only has cloud sync on its setting
