No option to toggle between networks?! [SOLVED BUT NEW PROBLEM!!] - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II

Unlocked SGH-I317M - Rooted - CleanRom 4.0.5
I've been pulling my hair out trying to figure out why I'm not picking up an LTE signal when a friend on a phone tells me to just toggle to LTE in mobile network settings. The only problem is, that doesn't exist on my phone for some reason. All that appears in my mobile network settings is "Mobile data", "Data roaming", "Access Point Names" and "Network operators"...nothing to switch between networks. Why isn't my device displaying this setting?

Did you used to have LTE? Have you added the proper APN settings for your carrier?

Re: No option to toggle between networks?!
Yeah im running the same rom and my LTE works fine. You probably need to flash the K7 modem. There are no settings to switch. Only aosp roms have that option.
Go here to get the modem you need.

No i had an iPhone 5 previous to my note 2 so no LTE (carrier didn't have LTE for them until just a couple days ago.) I have added the APN settings correctly. There is an option within the APN settings called "bearer" where i have the option to select LTE but when i set it to that, i get no data at all so I have to set it back to "unspecified"

If your carrier only got LTE a few days ago your sim card/plan might not have LTE enabled. That possible in your case?

You are lucky I saw this! I just fixed my settings to reenable LTE like 5 minutes ago.
Here you go.
1. Goto Settings-> More Settings -> Mobile Networks -> Access Point Names -> Enter these settings.

Thanks for the tip mate but I don't think this will work as I'm not on AT&T!!

Look up "phone information" app in the market. You can toggle networks within that app

Dang! I got all happy because I helped someone!
Then when you said that, I saw the M behind i317. Sorry =(
Yeah maybe you could try to find the carrier settings for your phone? Someone online must have posted them.

thanks anyways! I'm beginning to think that it's the ROM that's causing this issue so I'm going to try and go back to stock. Can somebody help me with this? I'm brand new to androids so I'm not very confident with everything yet. How do I go back to stock while staying rooted? and will doing this make my device carrier locked again or will it remain unlocked? I have already done a nandroid and titanium backup but I'm not sure what the next step is. If someone could help me out I'd appreciate it

so since my phone is from Rogers, would i download the Rogers modem even though I'm not using the phone with that carrier? and how do i flash it, with cwm?

In the"phone information" app, go to "device information" (first option) and from there you change the "set preferred network type" to LTE only or whatever you want. You can force lte, force Edge(gsm), basically any combo you want to do is available from this menu.

I download the app called "phone info" as the app "phone information" does't seem to exist. There is no first option called device information. As soon as i open the app, i'm on a page when its just a big list of my phones info

It was my ROM that wasn't giving me the option to chose a network mode. I went back to factory and viola it was there. BUT...no WCDMA/LTE option. Only GSM/HSPA. I've been told that there aren't enough towers to support all of the LTE devices, would this be the cause of LTE not showing up in the network mode? I would think that it would still let me chose LTE and just bump me down to HSPA if it couldn't connect. What're your thoughts guys?

Bump!

What CSC are you using? There are some CSC settings that could hide the "LTE" string in network settings, making it go from LTE/GSM/WCDMA, GSM only, WCDMA only to GSM/WCDA, GSM, WCDMA. That was only cosmetic in my case though. (Been a while since I've run the T889V ROM, I expect the I317M's to be similar in that respect.)

Untick "Date"
seeing as you had a nice screeny i thought i'd reply in a screenshot too because i'm in a screenshot kinda mood untick the highlighted box
but yet you worked out how to flash a rom and change the background of the today screen but you couldnt work out how to remove the date! lol
That doesnt remove the time. Un-checking the date removes the date
C'mon guys...you all are incorrect.
The way to do this is as follows (sorry I dont have time for screen shots)
1) Goto Settings>>Advanced Config
2) Select 'Appearance' tab
3) Select the appropriate drop down from 'Shoe on title bar' label. I selected 'battery'...
After a soft reset, you will get want you want...

whew, it was starting to feel like howardforums there with all the misinformation and bad advice.
Guys! Stop bickering!
To remove the time from the very top bar of the Today screen, lookin the WIKI for registry edits (here's the page):
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_Registry
and look for a section called "Show Time,Date,both or Battery on top bar at Today screen". This is the same edit that the Advanced Config mohitb272 mentioned, but this is the manual version if you haven't got theprogram installed.
To hide the date in the today plug-in (the one next to the clock under Start in your screenshot), follow GilesThaAlmighty's instructions earlier.
Sorted!

what rom are you using? I have AT&T but mine never says 3G AT&T. I have the 3G sim card. I am referring to the screenshot from the first post how it says 3G AT&T. Is it because you have the PDA plan or something. I have the Media Net unlimited plan whatever that is. It allows me to access the internet and stuff.

You need to have 3G coverage in your area to display 3G. Check at&t coverage map to see if you can get 3G coverage.

Pretty sure he's referring to the carrier name in HTC Home. Without the reg change it'll say UMTS AT&T.

[Q] International HTC One X on AT&T US 3G problems

I'm running ARHD 5.1.0 on my international unlocked HTC One X.
I'm having a problem with my phone on AT&T. It is switching between H and 3G pretty often, and only H actually functions for data. This is pretty painful, especially when trying to stream Pandora.
I'm looking for help on how to analyse what is happening.
1. How can I see what band it is trying to use on 3G?
2. Is there a way to force it to always use H or EDGE, never 3G?
3. Is there a way to tune the 3G radio for AT&T USA?
4. Is it possible that now that the kernel source is released, the frequency issues can be fixed with kernel drivers?
According to Omega.net, here are the frequencies in my area:

Thanks!
Quick additional questions:
Is AT&T screwing with my signal? Would it make sense to modify the /system/build.prop to masquerade as a different phone?
Would modifying the /system/build.prop allow me to disable all but UTMS-II and UTMS-V?
ro.ril.imc.band=900,1800,1900,850
ro.ril.imc.uband="UMTS_BAND_I","UMTS_BAND_II","UMTS_BAND_V","UMTS_BAND_VIII"
I'm going to try disabling fast dormancy and see how that goes ala this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1111581
So far this change has had no effect. I still can't run speedtest.net for example, because it drops from H to 3G, then renegatiates to H again.
All I did was change the build.prop and reboot. Any idea if I have to do something more?
What APN are you using? the default one?
Mine changes to 3G, but only when not using data.......I've had this with every phone besides the Galaxy Nexus which stayed on H most of the time.
But I haven't tried streaming music, as I dont haha...I have it all on my phone.
Try using the Phone APN.
Create a new apn and type in phone for "Name" and phone for "APN" leave the rest blank and save, then click it to enable

You are the MAN! The APN was set to wap.cingular. Using phone as the APN I'm finally getting some Speedtest.net results! I'm going to do more tests, but this looks good so far.

Unlock / UMTS Menu hidden

The available menus are determined by the modem. On my S4, when I upgraded the phone to 4.3, it required a 4.3-compatible modem, which didn't have the menu you're talking about. So pretty much it's "gone" as far as I know.

Two answers:
The mode preference menu: *#2263#
The information menu: *#197328640#
Both of these also work on the S4 (I know because I still have mine that I'm about to sell). I can't figure out how to get to the old "band/frequency preference" menu though.
I actually saved these in my phone as contacts so I can launch them whenever I want. Hope that's what you were looking for.

No problem! Unfortunately, that method won't work since the Note 3 shipped with 4.3 I believe. BUT I can get you close to free:

Ive had this problem for a long time. through 4.2.2, 4.3, and 4.4 roms (various ROMs, including CM, Beanstalk and Slim). I can only enable LTE by going to more>mobile network>at&t before i can select LTE. it always default on WCDMA and it will revert back to WCDMA after reboot. any one have a fix for this?

I'm experiencing the same issues. I'm on Straight Talk. My LTE will not stick for long, regardless of all the methods I have tried. My text msgs were delayed sending and receiving. Straight Talk claimed that ATT had been experiencing outages in my area (Los Angeles), but I never called ATT direct to confirm this. WCDMA is the only thing that will stick, although I haven't tried LTE anymore in the last two days....

i am in the los angeles area as well, but this is not a recent issue for me...ive always had this issue....i know how to get LTE to work, just quite annoying to do it after every reboot, especially since searching for network provider can take some time...ive seen quite of few people with the same issue, but never a fix for it.

I'm on metro PCs...can get LTE with a t-mobile sim but otherwise just H+. Do not have the build prop line mentioned earlier in thread but willing to try.
My build prop has no such entry:
ro.telephony.default_network=9
Where do I place this in the build.prop?

Anywhere. Just look for other settings like that and enter the line in there

LG G3 D855 Euro Model on Rogers Wireless - does LTE work ?

Hi all,
Just picked up the D855 euro version LG G3 and do not see any LTE options in the data section.
I only see GSM/WCDMA.
I entered the LTE mobile settings for rogers and only see "H", not even 4G...
Is there a menu where I can switch this ?
And will I be able to use LTE in Montreal on Rogers Wireless using the 700 / 2100 / 2600 bands ?
I notice it doesnt have AWS with 1700 /2100
I dont mind if it says 4G as long as I can get LTE speeds...
Any help would be much appreciated
Thanks
I'm seeing the same on mine (Starhub Singapore D855). I think 4G is some countries is considered a value added service. You may need to call it in and have it activated on your SIM. I plan to call them later today after work to confirm.
I got mine to work on Fido. I flashed the HKG firmware through the TOT/DLL method. Then I either choose band 4 or 7(can't remember) in developer settings (3845#*885#)
Flash method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2799647 (Go say thanks to wolfgart!) There should also be a link to a guide to flashing. Also here are some screen shots if they help.

I actually got mine working by installing the app "LTE On Off" from the Google Play Store and selecting LTE/GSM/WCDMA
And entering Rogers LTE APN settings
Am getting 80MBPS download and 20MBPS upload
Works perfectly
Im trying to make mine work on US T-Mobile.

Go to your dialer and type 3845#*855# go to LTE only, then band selection. Chose band 4. Then in your regular settings enter the APN for T-Mobile, and change network selection GSM/WSPDA/LTE auto. Restart your phone.

I did that. I also deleted lte configurations. In System/ apps/. Didn't do the trick. I flashed multiple KDZs and it didn't Work. It just doesnt have the right bands for it to work on Tmobile. So i ordered a G3 cat6.

OMG, can you please tell me how you did that? I've been trying to figure out step by step and I can't do anything! I downloaded Flashtool and when I tried to turn off the phone and put it in download mode, after plugging it in and opening up device manager, I can't see "ports" thus I can't change port to COM41. I've been stuck at literally the second step of this complicated process. I really would hate to see my G3 go to waste. Please help as I'm on the Rogers network.

Hmmm, try re-downloading and re-patching the flash toolkit, maybe something got screwed up there? Also try another USB port. if no try using another KDZ like Germany. Also go through Wolfgarts thread maybe someone had the same problem there.
I'd be interested in seeing how this is done for Rogers too..

Very simply download the LTE On/Off app from the Google Play store, it allows you to set your network to include LTE, which the LG G3 855 does not do by default. Once you have set it to LTE/GSM/WCDMA you should be good to rock and roll. It worked great for me!
I needed Intelli3G to force LTE availability at all times else after a reboot (for example) it will drop to GSM/WCDMA only.

Thanks for the update. I ended up with a D852 and its been good. Haven't missed the FM radio yet. Wireless charging is a nice to have but I can live without it.
