How to lock Note 3 to LTE/4g signal?

[zef05]

It has the WCDMA only and GSM only option. But no LTE only option. Help!

I don't think any phone right now has a LTE only mode. Reason being incase you aren't in a LTE area you can still get service.

Too bad.
The constant change from 4g to 3g is draining my batter.

That's why I usually just keep my phone in 3G mode until I need to browse or use navigation. Then it's 4G all the way.

Thankfully, Verizon has my area on 4g lockdown, so I'm happy to avoid that 3g/ 4g issue. I could see how it would effect your battery because when I had the HTC Thunderbolt, 4g was in its infancy and not widespread. My battery was gobbled up quickly.

Can't do voice over LTE.

Yep. Pretty much what everyone else here has said. It's going to bounce back and forth if the 4G LTE signal is weak. Bummer for now, but hopefully they turn up the juice to your area.

That's a carrier issue than not your phone. If it's bouncing back and forth that's due to a weak 4g signal. If you could lock onto the 4g signal only your battery would plummet more since it sounds like a super weak signal already.

Yeah. Usually 1 bar. But still. It's faster. Haha. I usually download big files while at work. But guess I'm stuck with 3g for now.

Brian how do you actually use the app to lock to LTE? Thanks!

 

[mod777]

The app works.. go into advanced info then device lte only

 

[brian7751]

yes go to advanced info at bottom then phone info and on the drop box in the middle of the page it will say lte only but if i recall when you are on lte you cant make or receive calls but you can text and receive texts im not 100% sure though

I'm on AT&T and when I dial *#*#4636#*#* it will open a hidden menu testing. Click on device information there you can change to LTE only.

The app posted above will work, though you may need root as Samsung blocked access to that menu on some of their phones after update
