Is there a way to disable 3g coverage ..reason why im asking is because im in a spot where 4g signal is low and i can get good speeds with 4g with low signal. Because of this it switch's over alot but i wish i can disable 3g so it will force it to stay on 4g. Is there an app or anything that will let me do this, I have tried LTE toggle but i see all connections except 4g lte only i see a unknown but i dont know if that means lte. I tried hitting unknown but the app switch back to CDMA auto. thanks for your help

There used to be dial codes that allowed you to force to 1X. I don't know if the same practice works on LTE devices.

Dial ##PROGRAM (7764726)

Enter Code # 6 ZEROS ( 0 x6)

Choose "Test Mode" from menu.

Press NEXT button til Field Test Screen appears.

Choose Network Mode drop down box.

Select LTE ONLY.

Press BACK arrow softkey.

Phone will reboot.

>>

To Return to CDMA & LTE. Just follow SAME steps as before and choose CDMA, EVDO and LTE From pull down menu instead of LTE ONLY. Or use CDMA & EVDO if LTE is not very strong over the EVDO signal.

You can ALSO use this same option to disable all data or lock to 1xRTT. If you so desired. The 1xRTT lock is good if you are in a 1X area but 3G keeps coming in and out.

PLEASE NOTE: WHEN LTE ONLY IS USED "ALL OTHER RADIOS (CDMA, 1xRTT / Voice and NON-LTE Data)" is DISABLED! MEANING NO PHONE CALLS (using VZW 1xRTT VOICE)

Wifi and Bluetooth remain as normal.

(Legend: CDMA = 1xRTT 2G Data and Voice), EVDO = 3G Data NO voice, LTE = 4G .. 4G Data NO Voice)

That's correct, No voice. So you can't make or receive calls or texts. This is because LTE/4G is currently Data only while 3G is both voice and data.
