I bought a cn version of gt 5g and im in philippines. We have 5g towers and sim but it still shows 4g. And the prefered network doesn't show up. Other phones are working fine. How do I fix this? Thank you.
Set Preferred Network Mode through Hidden Menu
Since the common hidden menu code does not work on our device ( *#*#4636#*#* ), there is another way we must use. 1. Download this app from the Play Store: Force LTE Only (4G/5G) 2. Launch app and choose "METHOD3: (Android 11)" 3. Under Set...

I'm trying to change to the LTE network which is not available in the Mobile Networks. My carrier is Freedom Mobile and I'm running Android 7.0, with the LG G5. Anyone know how to fix this, or if this something the Carrier did to the phone ?

Try this code *#546368#*phone model#
My phone model is RS988 so the code will look like this
*#546368#*988#
Use this menu to toggle the LTE network
1. Type *#546368#*model# ( *#LGMENU#*MODEL# )[MODEL eg. H850 - type 850]
2. Go to "Field test"
3. Go to "Modem Settings"
4. Go to "RAT selection"
5. Chose what You need:
- GSM / WCDMA / LTE auto
- LTE only
- LTE / WCDMA
- LTE / GSM
- GSM / WCDMA
- WCDMA only
- GSM only
After You chose option Your mobile data may turn off and on.
Sorry for my bad English.
I was able to force the phone on to LTE, but it won't switch back to LTE after making a call. It stays on 3G.
Hi, guys!
I'm trying to fox my LG G5, but seems nothing works... I bougth this refurbished device in USA last octuber. I used it in Venezuela with my venezuelan phone number perfectly until march 2019. Then, suddenly, my device stop working. Now, is unavailable to recognize any network, no matter what SIMcard I plugged in (My SIMCard works perfectly in other devices, BTW). So, I went to three differents suport services in Caracas, but anybody could did anything. Now, I'm trying with some codes that I find, but it didn't work either. Actually, my device couldn't recognize some of them... Can you help me, please? I'm desperate to fix my LG G5.
After getting into engineering mode by dialing *#*#4636#*#* And changing the preferred network to LTE only. It stays in 4g for a minute and changes itself back to 3g. Is there any way to force the LTE mode.
I guess it must be one of the ****ty work done by Oppo in the name of enhancing network experience.
There is a solution for you
1.Atfirst clear all your recent apps
2.Open the settings and mobile networks then tap on prefer network type.tapping on that it will show you the network types.keep that page and tap the home button
3.go to dialer and type *#*#4636#*#* and select lte only..
Some conditions works here... engineering mode doesn't work if the settings app not running in background....after selecting the lte only in engineering mode then go to settings in that page of network mode,you can see all the three options will be unselected..It is not so easy as you think...many t&c applied here
Its works like charm
I wanna tell you one thing.
Man you are a fcking legend.
Just got my Realme 5 pro and *#*#4636#*#* doesn't work even if the settings is running in the background. I just want to lock it on lte or lock the frequency band to lowest frequency available here in the Philippines so I can play without lag even inside our house (more like a cave). I was able to do it on my previous phones so I'm kinda starting to get disappointed with this phone.
Hello folks.
I have update my Xperia XZ1 to Android 9, but i don't like it.
Night Mode is out, navigation bar on white is disgusting but most importantly, I can not force the network into LTE, I need so much. Each time, it offers LTE preferred, but it remains mostly in H +, on Android 8 I could only operate in LTE.
Is there a way to force the LTE network on Android 9 ? If not, can we go back to Android 8 without losing its data / applications?
Thanks you.

Have you tried "*#*#4636#*#*" ?
Use your dialpad and dial the above number (no need to press call button), then "Testing" should appear, touch "Phone information", and then you can select "LTE only" in the "Set preferred network type" drop down list, however this only works with SIM card 1, you cannot change SIM card 2's network type using this method.
Hi , is there anyway to force 3g/4g only on this phone..? I've seemed to try every hidden menu code and nothing seems to work.
The reason I ask this is that I've downloaded a global firmware (171) for this phone and unfortunately my carrier no longer does 2G and when im getting poor 3g coverage it switches to 2g and lose service completely. This never happened on my old carrier firmware as it was setup not to switch to 2g.
I also think it's because I have a single SIM version and this new global firmware is setup for dual Sim.
Anyone got any solutions? Sounds like downgrading firmware isn't a option at the moment...
4G only on Huawei Mate 20 Pro works!

Hello,
yes, now we finally found a solution.
Do exactly as described:
1. Download Settings Database Editor from playstore and open it
2. Look for hw_networkmode_preference and edit the stock value "9,6,2,1" to "11"
3. Restart the device
4. Open Settings Database Editor
5. Click on + Add new setting at the top
6. Type "hw_add_4g_only" (without " ") and press save changes
7. Type in your country code, example "502" Malaysia or "262" Germany. Press save changes
8. Type "hw_add_4g_only" (without " ") and press save changes (YES, REPEAT STEP 6)
9. Type in your country code, example "502" Malaysia or "262" for Germany and press save changes (YES, REPEAT STEP 7)
10. Restart the device and VOILA!
Now you have access to ALL network modes. Select "LTE" or "4G" for 4G only functionality.
Like this, you have stable Internet nearly where ever you go, without dropping back to overcrowded 2G/3G Networks.
Best,
Stefan
i know this thread a month old but i tried this and 4g only option is there but it also removes all other options which for obv reasons is not good if in a non 4g area, is there a way to add the 4g/3g option .
ps: i found an old thread to add the 3g again but have to manually switch between the 2 options
Hey,
My device updated to the new firmware yesterday and I have lost the '3G Only' option. Is there a way to unlock this?
Apologies if this has been asked before but I can only seem to find the 4G solution. Thanks in advance
No texts
I can't send any text messages over any network mode, and to make or recieve calls I had to change modes.
I got this oppo and 5G not working (not even an option to select in sim options), i tried 3 different sims, no 5G.
I have the Vivo X Fold and 5G working great.
What can be the reason?
Look for Force LTE in the Play Store, open and select Method 2, then for your band selection scroll to the bands starting with NR.
I don't believe the changes stick after a reboot and I'm not sure we will get 5G speeds but since I have Mint (T-Mobile towers), I selected a band package with NR/LTE/GSM in it. So far I've learned NR=5G, LTE=4G, GSM=2G and I need GSM band for my calls to come through. There are many bands to choose from so play around with it but this was the ONLY way I was able to get 5G to show up in the notification bar on this phone.
Hope this helps!
I've noticed that 5ghz Wi-Fi networks are not detected on my find n no matter what I do. Only 2.4ghz networks show up. Is that normal?
