Install an optimus 3D rom is the only way to disable 4G and keep 3G. You can't disable 4G without disabling 3G on an att rom.
To disable 4G & 3G go to the dialer and type *#*#4636#*#* and go to phone information. You may or may not have the ability to switch off 3G. Some have it and some don't.

Can anyone tell me if there is a way to force my phone to stay on EDGE. I have good EDGE signal but it keeps jumping to GPRS.
Thanks
I don't have my note yet, but in SGSII. If you go to settings>>wirelsss and network>>Mobile Networks>>Network Mode, Choose GSM only, it should always stay in Edge.
It worked for me.

hmm I'm running a AOSP ICS rom so don't see Network Mode anywhere under Mobile networks
this will prevent you to join 3g, if u select gsm only, it will disable 3g.
but i dont know you can select between edge n gprs

well I'm using a unlocked GNote on Tmobile so for now no way getting 3g anyway but in a area where I have full bars on Edge sometimes it switches to GPRS which I'm trying to prevent.
I think it depends on network, n even i dont believe it have relation with nwtwork bar. You will get edge or gprs according you are connected with network. So it is metwork dependent. I dont think you can change it manually, as both are comes under 2g. We can chose 2g/3g, but afaik we cant select subtype.

sucks for me
you can try with this hidden menu, in the phone dialer input:
*#*#4636#*#*
first option, about phone, slide to the bottom and you will see network connection options, choose CDMA only to force EDGE, also you can choose more options than in the normal menu, don't modify anything else in this menu

Codes won't work on aosp roms.
After trying searching today countless apps and signal booster apps i finally found one that worked. I tried Viaero Toggle app from the play store and now have a constant 4g signal. I have tested 2 methods on the app. Tried a method setting my preferred network to just LTE and CDMA/LTE. Setting it to just LTE works except you have an X over your signal bars, CDMA/LTE doesnt.
1. Download the Viaero toggle app
2. Select phone information
3. Scroll down where it says preferred network
4. Select LTE or LTE/CDMA
This is for people who KNOW their supposed to have an LTE connection. I used to own a GS3 and had a constant LTE signal. Switching to the ONE my LTE constantly jumps from LTE to 3G which was my biggest gripe. Now I'm in love with my ONE all over again. So if you know you have this issue. This will help trust me.
Let me know your results. I really want to work for everyone because this has been pissing me off for the longest. I had even switched out for a second HTC one and they both had signal issues. If it doesnt help let me know and we can try other methods for different people.
The 2 pics i attached is one with just LTE and the other is LTE/CDMA
You know that X over the signal bars mean you no longer have a voice connection right? Kind of defeats the purpose of a phone

The better way of doing this would be to use the ##DATA# shortcut (provided you have your MSL), but you certainly can do this.

Not if you only use VOiP, but I don't disagree.

If you just want to use WiFi tether purposes. You can. That's also why I gave the cdma/ltd option as well.

Thanks for the shortcut since I keep forgetting it. I just gave it a try. I was able to switch to CDMA LTE only and my LTE switched back on from 3G almost instantly. Sweet! Looks like I'll be using this feature quite often. :thumbup:

I got nothin'
Neither the App nor the menu has provided 4G / LTE. Funny thing is that on 4.3 ROM's I don't get LTE, but 4.2 and lower it's a non-issue. Any ideas?
Funny thing is I have no APN's. When I try to manually add them they don't save.

I normally set it to WCDMA only but after a while it automatically switches to WCDMA preferred which results in a loss of data and the Roaming symbol. Any way i can set it permanently to WCDMA only? I'm in India btw...

Who uses their phone for talking? What is this 2005?
Yup, i set it to WCDMA only but for some weird reason it switches back to WCDMA preferred after a while. I do it using the same method you've described.
If I set my phone to lte cdma it goes to gsm as my days connection. Am I missing something here? Thanks

The forum you're posting in right now is the Sprint HTC One M7 forum. You have the M8, therefore go to the Sprint HTC One M8 forum.
With the 4636 menu what setting should I be choosing to stay in 4G? I'm in Chicago and I have terrible 4G to 3G handoffs all the time.

I would like my phone to be connected to 3g all the time in order to save battery... Is there any way to do this? Changing to gsm, CDMA in network settings still gives me hspa.
Thnx

HSPA is still 3G. If you want you can select to use GSM only and you will only get EDGE connectivity.
Dial *#*#4636#*#* , go to phone information, and there's a dropdown which by default says WCDMA preferred. Switch that to whatever else you need. Also, remember that this setting does not stick after reboot so you need to reset it to your preference each time after you reboot your phone.
Misread, sorry.
I have a nexus 6 running pure nexus on the T-Mobile network.. I have severe data connection issues where I have moved. I can get LTE but if not careful it will drop to Edge or G.
Once it drops I have to reboot and fight with it to get LTE back.
Anyone know of a root app or way to force LTE only? Edge and G are worthless and will not load anything at all.

dial *#*#4636#*#*, then press phone information, then scroll down and select lte only. it has to be done after every reboot.

Not on T-Mo- if I try "LTE only", I cant make/receive calls. Is that normal?
I'm on tmobile, and use lte only often. and can make/receive calls. you can't only if tmobile doest have volte in your area or if you didn't enable enhanced 4G lte mode in main settings, more, cellular networks..
