G2 seems to have worse LTE reception compared to few other devices I had, is there anyway to disable LTE and go down to HSPA or HSPA+?
I know my area has terrible LTE coverage, but for some reason it sticks to LTE even if it means I am forced to 0.3mbps speeds! Ouch.

You can disable LTE from the service menu,use the code 5457#*(your phone model here)# And you will find an option there with the bands to do so.You can enable only the ones you want and dissable all others.Dont change anything else tho.I cant tell you exactly where you will find it cause the menu is slightly different for every variant it seems.

Thank you so much, I remember now people were running this trick on Nexus 4, but sadly it did not work. When you say Model here, I just put numbers only right? I got the D800 from AT&T, in dialer I just hit 5457#*800# and hit call, nothing happens, I get invalid MMI error. I tried 5457#800# no luck.
However, using your suggestion, I found the code to access service menu, but it wasn't as clear as I hoped it would be so I did not touch anything.
Code:
AT&T LG G2 D800 Service Menu: 3845#*800#
T-Mobile LG G2 D801 Service Menu: 3845#*801#
Verizon LG G2 VS980 Service Menu: 3845#*980#
Sprint LG G2 LS980 Service Menu: 3845#*980#
I expected on/off switches, but there is WDCMA-Only, LTE-Only, and nothing else. There is no HSPA or HSPA+ only or any switch, and I don't want to hit LTE only assuming that will limit the reception to LTE and I will get stuck with no coverage when there is no LTE.
On Sprint, I can go into data settings via dialer (##3282#), and edit LTE screen (requires service code). From there, I can disable LTE and force CDMA/EvDo. Of course, this is on Sprint variant, not sure how AT&T/T-Mobile does it or whichever carrier you're on.

I am on ATT and I can't find this setting anywhere.
Sent from my LG-D800
I also tried *#*#4636#*#* which does not let me go into OEM-Info or any Radio selection.
Why does AT&T do this!?
I believe if you go into settings and go into the mobile networks menu, there is a menu that allows you to choose whether the phone will go into LTE if available or just stay on 4G HSPA+. I'm getting my G2 tomorrow, so I don't remember exactly how I did it when I played with it in the store. If you can't find it, I'll let you know what it is once I get my phone. This is with the T-Mobile G2.

In order of Nice to Naughty,
Sprint
T-Mobile
AT&T
Verizon (wayyyyy low in the list, naughtiest)
So, considering above, I am pretty sure A&T disabled that menu you are referring to (In Mobile Networks) some confirmed it working on Sprint, but I don't think it is available on AT&T. I am stuck with LTE.

Sorry, missed it earlier when you said you were on AT&T. Are you able to go to Settings > Tethering & networks > Mobile networks > Network mode? With the T-Mobile version, there's gsm/wcdma/lte auto, gsm/cdma auto, wcdma only, and gsm only selections under the Network Mode menu. That would really suck if they diabled that setting. I'm assuming you're on stock unrooted.

Service code for the d800 is 3845#*800#
Go to LTE settings, modem setting, then select RAT then you can force what ever mode you want.

Hi,
I can't seem to figure this out, I have the N9005 and currently reside in the US. Anyone knows how to turn on the 4G/LTE on the phone? My provider has 4g/LTE here and want to be able to use 4G/LTE instead of H/H+ that shows on the phone.
Would really appreciate any help. :crying:

1. Change with a root explorer of your choice (e.g. Root Explorer, Solid Explorer or EF File Explorer) the value“false”*in file*persist.radio.lteon*into*“true”*by way of build-in text editor of the root explorer. The file is located in root/data/property. Be sure permissions of*persist.radio.lteon*are set to rw, after altering the file save the file and make it read-only. Reboot your phone, now you will see and be able to pick the option* “LTE/WCDMA/GSM *(auto connect)” in Network Mode menu.*Important: before altering ANY file on your phone be sure you have a copy of the original, unaltered file!!!*Advantage of this solution: even after a phone reboot the option* “LTE/WCDMA/GSM *(auto connect)” will remain visible/activated.
2. When you are afraid or not tech-savvy enough to alter phone files you can download*“Advanced Signal Status” on Google Play. Start the app, go into*Advanced Info*located on bottom of the app and subsequent choose *LTE/GSM/CDMA auto (PRL) in the first sub-menu of Advanced Info. In phone Network Mode menu option* “LTE/WCDMA/GSM *(auto connect)” will still not be visible but nevertheless you will be able to use LTE/4G. Disadvantage of this solution will be that after every phone reboot you have to start “Advanced Signal Status app” and reactivate LTE/GSM/CDMA option.
Please remember that LTE/4G will only work in area’s with LTE and your phone data-plan includes the use of LTE. Good luck and have fun!

I have n9005 note 3 I had to do this to get lte option.
If you have it goto network settings and change mode to LTE.
Sent from Galaxy Note 3 SM-N9005
So you have LTE mode selected in settings, but it still doesn't go past H+, and you're sure you're in a 4G area?
Firmwares and secret codes aren't going to solve this.
Your provider likely uses a different frequency than the phone supports.
You could simply look up your provider frequencies and check them against the phone specs. If they don't match, game over.

The LTE frequencies for the N9005 are 800/850/900/1800/2100/2600.
T-Mobile US uses 700/1700/1900/(2100)
The 2100 overlaps, but unfortunately T-Mobile US only uses it as a support network. Meaning it's not active by default. 1900Mhz is the main network.

Follow this topic to add required bands to your phone.
Wait a moment is your SIM is LTE/4G supported?
Some providers only allow you to connect to the 4G, if you have such contract. For example, I am customer of Tele2 in Estonia and I can not use 4G either, because I currently have such contract, which only permits me to use speeds upto HSPA+.

Thanks for link, I tried doing it but something is not working, I'm not sure if its cause I need to change the modem or maybe the rom is not working or maybe something else.
Hi All,
I stumbled across this as I am currently not in the US to test this out. Could someone see if this actually works? It supposedly enables the LTE band 4 on this phone even though specs say that there's not LTE on it. I was hoping it would be there as it has the same hardware as the N9005.
According to the Service Mode on the N9002, you can enable VZW LTE Band 4. I believe T-Mobile also uses this band for their LTE. I enabled it for me, but I am currently in an area that I can't test it. I posted screenshots of the Service Mode, and a video capture going into the menu.
How to enter service mode:
1. At phone dialer, dial *#0011#.
2. At the service mode, hit the menu key, and select back. It looks like it did nothing, but go to the next step.
3. Hit the menu key again and select "Key Input" and type "Q". It looks like it did nothing, but go to the next step.
4. Hit the menu key again and select "Key Input" and type "0000" (zeros).
5. Wait until you see "Main Menu"
6. Select [3] LTE
7. Select [2] LTE RF
8. Select [1] VZW LTE B4 on/off
9. Select B4 Enable(). It should now have an asterik in the parenthesis.
10. Reboot phone.
Here's a screen capture on how to enable it.

If you have a different version, this might be better for you as I didn't have a custom kernel for mine.

I don't have a way to try it right now(my n9002 is at a repair shop atm), but would you mind trying this? the article says to modify the /data/property/ persist.radio.lteon file to "true" and “LTE/WCDMA/GSM (auto connect)” should show up as a selection of network preference. Can you let me know what your results are when you try it?

Sorry for the long wait, wife had phone. The file was already set to true. No lte option in Network Mode menu.
Thanks for trying. I realized that my bootloader is locked so I can't flash a permissive kernel. I think that would've been able to do it I think... oh well

I did all your steps. But in RRC (Service mode, main page) i'm still see "RRC: IDLE, Band5" and i don't connect to band4. I checked and that band is activated.
Why?
Compiled from FCC information and Wikipedia for two of the Moto E LTE models:
FCC ID IHDT56QC8 (XT1528) -
This LTE transceiver supports high-speed wireless data communications within LTE Bands 2, 4, 5, and 13, with channels up to 20 MHz in bandwidth.
FCC ID IHDT56QC7 (XT1527) -
This LTE transceiver supports high-speed wireless data communications within LTE Bands 2, 4, 5, 12, 17, 25, 26, and 41, with channels up to 20 MHz in bandwidth.
From Wikipedia:
2 = 1900Mhz (PCS)
4 = 1700Mhz (AWS)
5 = 850 (Cellular?)
12 = 700 a
13 = 700 c
17 = 700 b
25 = 1900 g
26 = 850 (SMR?)
41 = 2500 (old WiMax)
So, the Verizon model (1528) will technically support LTE on AT&T and T-Mobile bands 2 & 4. It has all three Verizon LTE bands (obviously) - 2, 4, 13. You would be missing LTE on AT&T band 17 and LTE on T-Mobile band 12.
The other model (1527) will support LTE on AT&T in 2, 4, and 17. Will support Sprint on 2, 25, 26, and 41. Will support T-Mobile on 2, 4, and 12. Technically it might also support Verizon on 2 and 4. (Verizon is currently using 4 as part of XLTE in certain markets, and I don't know if think are running LTE on 2 at all. )
It appears that the 1527 model is the better one to get for band coverage, unless you want Verizon LTE on band 13.
Found a third model. From FCC docs:
FCC ID: IHDT56QC1.
This mobile device is also equipped with an LTE transceiver. This LTE transceiver supports high-speed wireless data communications within LTE Bands 2, 4, 5, 7, 12, and 17, with channels up to 20 MHz in bandwidth.
This particular variant will work on LTE on AT&T in bands 2, 4, and 17. It will work on LTE on T-Mobile in 2, 4, and 12. It will work on Verizon's LTE on 2 and 4, but is missing Verizon's core band 13 (700c). Not sure which provider is using it with on band 5 (850). This model apparently (compared to QC7) is missing the Sprint LTE bands completely (25, 26, 41).

Does the Verizon XT1528 support GSM bands?
All postpaid Verizon 4g lte have UNLOCKED GSM bind if I am correct. Has Verizon been able to block GSM bands in the Moto E 2015?
I have been trying to figure this for last couple of days.

I got the VZW Moto E working on a AT&T GoPhone SIM. The phone complains that it isn’t a VZW sim and there isn’t an option to switch to GSM is the settings menu. Though you can definitely adjust that setting elsewhere (no rooting involved). Just install this app "4G LTE Switch" . All the app does is spawn an activity that is actually in the Android Settings app that normally is only accessible by a special code in the dialer. Motorola has removed that special code, so you have to get at it this way. This app is hardly the only one to do the same thing. You could do the same thing from APEX launcher by selecting the right activity to spawn in the Android Settings app.
Once you’re into the Phone Info menu, just scroll down to “Set preferred network type” and choose LTE/GSM. Once I did that, the phone connected to AT&T LTE. I was able to place a call as well. I also saw it drop to H+, so I know UMTS was working as well. If you reboot the phone though, it will revert to “LTE/CDMA” mode and you will again have to change it back to “LTE/GSM”.
A STRONG WORD OF CAUTION... There is a menu in the upper right hand corner of the phone info screen. In that menu is an option to "Set Radio Band". In there, you will be presented with two options. Choosing either option will limit the bands your phone will use at a given time. It will not open up more bands for you to use. By default, your phone's baseband (the processor that controls the radio) will select bands automatically without restrictions. Once you make a selection from this menu, YOU CAN NEVER GO BACK TO AUTOMATIC MODE. (Never say never... you can just reflash the baseband to reset it... but you don't want to have to do this) A factory reset doesn't fix this because this setting is made in the phone's baseband and not within Android OS. Bottom line, don't get curious and use the "Set Radio Band" option. I made this mistake with a Moto X and was finally able to fix it by reflashing the baseband.

This intrigues me as well. Airtel, the most popular carrier in India, runs GSM 1800,900 UMTS 2100 LTE 40 (2300). The VZW Moto E according to the RF Exposure Report on the FCC for IHDT56QC8 says that the Moto E only supports CDMA 1900,850 GSM 1900,850 UMTS 1900,1700,850 LTE 2 (1900), 4 (1700), 5 (850), 13 (750). That would mean that there is no way that a VZW Moto E would run on Airtel. Does the phone support more bands than are listed in the FCC filing or did you do something else like flash a different baseband?

LTE/CDMA to GSM/WCDMA Sim card
Thanks for the advice, It worked with app "4G LTE Switch", BUT the sim card is still not recognizable, I mean it says Sim card is not from Verizon. Luckily the phone and the SIM card are working now. Thanks again my friend

Appreciate the warning, but there is a simple workaround I just accidentally did this and the radio was disabled, but if you set 'LTE/GSM' in the app, and then go into normal 'settings -> Wireless & Networks -> More -> Cellular networks -> Network Operators -> Choose Automatically' will bring back auto selection.

i just got this phone from visible, of course it comes unlocked but it only has some of the bands needed for lte service on att. i was curious if anyone has tried this phone on att and tell me how good lte is with just a few of the bands
Google camera for zte blade a7 prime
Even I got this phone through visible, but was wondering if gcam can be installed in this?
It is lacking almost all of At&t bands. Most likely you are on band 2.
quote from sd
To whomever is trying to configure the ZTE Blade A7 to work voice/text, use a network app like "Mobile Network Mode" to force it to select different type of network.
1. Go to the app, select "Force Mode"
2. Set Preferred Network Type: either "GSM Auto" or "LTE/UMTS auto"
This should enable you to make voice call or text both incoming & outgoing.
I had success doing this for my CricketWireless. When doing voice call, it switches to 3G mode.
You must setup your regular APN to have 4G LTE enabled.

I have mine on T-Mobile and it works perfectly after popping in a different SIM to add the TMOB APN.
But it wouldn't make a great DD, because while TMOB Band 4 support is fine where I am, I know from experience that it's pretty spotty elsewhere.
