Unable to open hidden setting under *#*#4636#*#* on my J1 4G SM-J120G. I have tried these with no results:
Using different phone app, Truecaller, apps like force LTE only which directly open the menu, most of the other codes like*#06#, etc are working but this *#*#4636#*#*. I need it to set my device to 4G/LTE only as it many times automatically goes to 2g even though i have set LTE/3G/2G from settings → Mobile networks. Can anyone help me with this issue.

I have unlocked my US Cellular SM-N900R4 on Lilipop, and am now trying to get it working on T-mobile. After the local USC store unlocked it, I added an APN editor from the Playstore, and now have the data working for the LTE connection. The problem that i am having is that it gives a 'no Sim or Sim Error' when trying to place calls, probably due to the network setting not allowing me to select GSM / LTE network option. The only 2 options for network selection LET / CDMA or CDMA.
The following thread was for unlocking a Sprint G2 for Tmobile, but gave some good info but the apps just wornt work on my Note 3 on lilipop.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2729370
The radio switcher app crashes, as well as the other ones that i saw on the PlayStore, so i cant select a GSM option
I was able to install an APN app to get the data working, so now i just need to get the voice / calls working. I was able to install the Rom Toolbox Lite app from the store, but there is no
ro.carrier=???
ro.build.target_operator=???
available from the build properties. Instead there are CDMA operator values for US Cellular and the 310??? value for US Celllar. Should i change this value to 'None'? IF so, what is the decimal value for the 'None' carrier option?
Can anyone give me some suggestions? are these apps specific to the Sprint G2 or to the android version? Is there a custom rom that might enable these settings?
Thanks in advance for any assistance or re-direction to information on the subject.
Suggestion would be to use the Sprint forums .
Hi All,
I have made significant progress with my Aussy RAZR M (XT905). Onto it I have installed TWRP (v2.8.6.0) and [ROM][OFFICIAL][KitKat 4.4.4][moto_msm8960 & moto_msm8960_jbbl] PAC-man 4.4.4.RC-1.
Whilst it looks like the phone understands that a SIM card is installed I am unable to get a signal from my network provider (Telstra); further more I cannot see an option in settings to search for or manually choose a provider in order to connect.
Here is the information that I see on the 'About phone' screen -
Model Number: RAZR M
PAC Version: KK RC-3 dev
Android/Ver: 4.4.4
Baseband/Ver: SM_BP_101031.042.32.86P
Kernel/Ver: 3.4.104-g5d09cd0
I am wondering if I need a different baseband version, or to manually install a different radio file.
If anybody can offer any suggestions on how to get this going it will be greatly appreciated.
Kind Regards,
Davo

Do you have the "Mobile Networks" (after "Bluetooth" and before "more...") in your settings? Actually, on my other phone, the "Mobile Network" is under "more..." Have you tried using the search functionality within the settings app? try "Mobile Network"
Hi DiamondJohn,
Thanks for taking an interest in my post; and with the other posts that have lead to this one!
I have discovered how to tinker with the 'Mobile Network Settings'; instead of being available under the 'More' item it is simply a matter of clicking on the 'Mobile Networks' heading itself (something that I didn't think to do because this heading also has a toggle switch to the right).
At the bottom of the 'Mobile network settings' page there is a menu item called 'Network Operators', which when selected presents -
Search Networks > ERROR WHILE SEARCHING FOR NETWORKS
Choose automatically > YOUR SIM CARD DOESN'T ALLOW A CONNECTION TO THIS NETWORK
Above, after the arrow, I have written what is shown when I click on each of the respective options.
Any other ideas?
Thanks
Davo
I have performed further investigations and discovered the instructions, below, for looking closer at signal settings -
From phone dialler type *#*#4636#*#*
Select Phone Information
Then attempted to change the radio band, by selecting 'Select radio band' from the 'three dot' menu (at the top right).
Whilst there are multiple radio band settings presented (Automatic, JAPAN BAND, USA Band, Cellular and PCS) none of these can be chosen. If I attempt to choose any of the options I am presented with the message Set [...] Unsuccessful (where ... represents the band choice, e.g.: JAPAN BAND).
Furthermore when I look at the list of preferred network type (towards the bottom of the 'Phone info' page) I am unable to select a match which I believe suits the Telstra network!
On my working phone, HTC One M9 (from which I am using the SIM) I see the option 'GSM / WCDMA / LTE auto', but this is not available on the Motorola.
The more I investigate the more I think that I may need to use a different radio file...
With your KKBL ROM being such an unknown (eg is the radio really meant for Australia or is it an XT907 radio ) I really think you should downgrade back to JBBL using the telstra specific firmware.
hi,
trying to use my unlocked ls993 in Verizon. voice and text work, but no data. the apn setting is missing all together, so can not add apn.
when putting in a tmobile sim, the apn appears and I can add t apn and data works.
any suggestions to make the v apn appears?
thanks.
I can help, go to your dialer and from there type *#546368#*993#
Then navigate to field test then navigate and there should be the second option. Go to pdp and then apn then you can add it from there.

Code not working on my LS993, but thank you for trying to help Still looking for the code for this model.
So just found out the code that worked in my LS993 is:
5689#*993#
(credit: https://idealkaynak.net/lg-g6-hidden-menu-kodlari/)
With that I added xfinity mobile apn. Once saved I had data, but was connected with 3G only, with DL speed of 0.8MPS. I was not happy, thought reboot the phone might make it better. Rebooted, then I lost data connection altogether; call and text still work, no apn in control but with the hidden menu access I see my apn is still there.
So I am stuck again. Any suggestions? Is there anyway I can force the g6 to load "carrier settings" of some sort?
Hi, did you find a way to add the APN. I have the same issue.
same problem
i have the same problem and checking on other post a guy says that you have to enter on hidden menu and apn settings and there are two options edit and view. chose edit and erase all apn including otasn after that have to appear in the normal mobile network menu the three dots to add the apn of your cellphone company. but you need the msl code or service code.
any suggestions of how to get the msl code and try this ?

You need to configure the proper APN settings for the network. click settings, mobile networks, then whatever is under "SIM card information." It should be the name of the network and phone number. Click on that. The next menu will present you with the ability to set and change APN's.

Thanks, it works now.
It's troublesome to use EDGE only when turning on Mobile Data, and whenever I manually select networks, a 4G/3G option is always there, but it still uses EDGE for some reason.
This may be due to the signal strengh in your area...
However you can specify many options for which type of network you wish to connect to by opening the TESTING MENU and selecting Phone Info
Open your dialler as if you were going to make a phone call and dial
*#*#4636#*#* then after selecting Phone Info and " Set preferred network type" chose which network type you want from the long drop down list.
[This will reset to your normal selection when you reboot your phone.]

I've tried this but this never works. Even when I set to (W)CDMA only, it's still on GSM/EDGE, and whenever I exit and reopen the menu, it goes back to the original setting, which is the 4G/3G/2G auto option.
I am having this exact problem, I need to be able to put my ZTE on wcdma only, any pointer will be helpful.
Thanks

Found one that finally worked, using *#*#4636#*#*. TD-SCDMA/WCDMA give 3g only. I hope someone finds this useful.
