Does anyone know how we get this message to all developers before they start developing roms?

Developers: Please add a GSM toggle under mobile networks which can allow us to disable or enable LTE.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] drksilenc:
matt its not as simple as that. this is a setting on your sim card thats why the sim eject method works. a toggle wont do squat people have tried on the gs3 to do it using qpst from qualcom and that wouldnt work its more a solid setting built into your sim.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] ap3604:
Eek! :eek:

Wow... that sucks... :(

In ATT we trust (our battery life)???
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] MattMJB0188:
Still experimenting. The Galaxy S3 APN trick doesn't seem to work. ): Pulling my battery out every time is beginning to become a pain.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] kufusoto:
I don't own this phone yet or an lte phone, I'm still running the og s2 but try typing this *#*#4636#*#* in the dailpad and change the network mode from there :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] MattMJB0188:
That won't work.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] drksilenc:
att changed that apn recently from what i understand so it now allows lte as well and if your phones sim is set for lte it will hunt for it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] kufusoto:
Just tested it and when i put it on gsm only I only get edge so yes it does work
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] SysAdmNj:
So its safe to say the "solution" in the op doesnt work?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] g33ked:
The only solution I know off, if you don't want to use LTE at all is the switch your data plan, they might ask you for the IMEI of your device, so if you a phone that works on AT&T H+, give them that IMEI. When I got my note 2, I still had my 4S data plan. So when using the note 2 I was on H+/4G . I had to call AT&T to switch me over to an LTE Data.

I know it sucks that AT&T has took that toggle off for us, I hope that feature comes with the multi window update at least.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] SysAdmNj:
No way they'll remove your lte plan from your lte phone to an H+ plan. Probably not even worth trying. I know the other way around would work obviously, if you went from an H+ device to an lte device.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Canadoc:
Tried this with my Galaxy rogers note 2 because for some reason I am having the opposite issue, which is I seem to be stuck on EDGE after unlocking it and using it on tmobile edge in the US. Using the network toggle that is present on the Rogers model, it stays on edge regarless of setting so figured maybe going more depely like this with a dialer code would work to correct something.

Thing is with the Simcard out, that dialer code doesn't do anything. Is there any other dialer code to try?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] lean6:
There's an aop for that

Thought that this was a Verizon tweak only. I had this problem on my Samsung Galaxy S3 and I had to download an app called "Phone Info" that gets you in to allow antenna toggling. Haven't played with it on my Note 2 yet.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] dbzgod:
The Canadian models seem to have *#2263# disabled, however their is a back way in through the main service menu.

use code *#197328640#

In there select UMTS > DEBUG SCREEN > PHONE CONTROL > NETWORK CONTROL > BAND SELECTION

Then you will find yourself in the menu that *#2263# loads up.

By careful what you select in the previous menus as you don't want to accidently do something else that could mess up your phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] MattMJB0188:
The solution in the original post works fine, its just a pain to toggle back and forth. If only we had the option listed under mobile networks for network mode.

All of AT&T phones are RAT locked. This means you cannot change which network you want to use. I guess you could flash a Rogers or Telus modem but that might be dangerous.

Why does AT&T do this? Because they don't want any person using an LTE device to selectively using their HSPA+ network unless they have to. AT&T is very, very selfish when it comes to bandwidth. They want to get the congestion off the 3G/HSPA+ network and load some of it onto the LTE network. Some even think that they want you to use a lot of data (which will happen when your on LTE) and pay overages. If the option was there to set your phone to GSM only (EDGE) then people wouldn't go over. Some say they are shutting down the 2G network?

I don't know, but it pisses me off. I want the option to choose whichever network I want/need. I don't need LTE all the time. I know the phone's battery life would be much better if it could sit on EDGE all day long.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] lean6:
Maybe not...

Scratch that...either have to wait for an update to this app or this isn't going to work on the AT&T G-Note II. It worked like a charm on the Verizon G-SIII. I'm going to inbox the developer to see what they say about it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] MattMJB0188:
Correct me if I'm wrong but you guys already have the option to switch easily. Canadians phones don't have RAT locked modems like AT&T phones. Just go into network mode and select your preferred network type.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] dbzgod:
Did you not read who I was quoting in my post?. Yes Canadian phones have those 3 options in the network settings but that doesn't matter, Canadoc asked for an alternative code because he have a specific issue. The Band select section offers more specific options then a generic "GSM Only" "WCDMA Only" and "LTE/GSM/WCDMA Auto Mode" . In that dialer code section you are able to selected which type of connection and what frequency you wish to use.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] MattMJB0188:
I get what your saying, but keep in mind that with the *#2263# you will only be allowed on that specific band. If you select WCDMA 1900 then that's it. No EDGE, NO WCDMA 850.

Canadoc should take his phone to his carrier if all he is getting is EDGE. His might even have some hardware issue.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] kamranwpi:
I want to be able to force it to stay on LTE, tried *#2263# and *#197328640#

tried to force it stay on LTE, but it still goes back to 4G
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] kebran:
I trimed my sim card and a little on the plastic edge of the battery and the sim still will not

come out far enough. Can't get that method to work. Tried phone info and it won't let you

change it either.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Mwinggg:
its funny ppl with lte phone want to turn off lte, while n4 ppl wanna do the opposite thing

is lte really consume that much power?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] k.babymamma:
Looks like it doesn't work for Att phones... according to the reviews anyhow. Too bad.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] lude219:
1) Turn off your phone

2) Remove battery

3) Remove sim

4) power phone back on without SIM

5) Go into dialer *#2263# blah blah blah select your mode

6) Power down your phone

7) Insert SIM and power on phone

8) check settings > about device > phone status...(since i selected WCDMA) mine shows up as HSDPA under network type. No more LTE.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] rzracer2:
Well after confirming phone info couldn't change it I picked up a new SIM from AT&T last night. I called them and asked for them to activate it with and old iphone 4s I had laying around. Sure enough they had to change my data plan from 3gb LTE to 3gb 3G. I turned the note2 back on with the new SIM and went into phone info and sure enough now its WCDMA prefered. Phone still lost 3% power overnight which is the same as the LTE enable but I did notice the sigal strengh at my house increased from -102db to -82bd. Seems easy enough to change back when I want to.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] romulusram:
Are there no automated solutions to turn LTE off?

Having to take out my simcard is getting crazy..

It has an apn just for hspa
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] crawlgsx:
That doesn't seem realistic to be honest. AT&T only has LTE in ~20-25 cities, the rest of the country is still on the 3g/"4g" congestion no matter what they try to do to the phone until they actually get out and upgrade the towers.

Personally I used this method to turn LTE off since the nearest LTE tower is 2 states over, thanks for the tip!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] mandog202:
is this *#2263# code a touchwiz thing? if I try it on AOKP without a SIM it just says "mobile network not available"
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] nivek_k2020:
Thanks going to test this out.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] alexnoalex:
As long as it's AT&T, using wap.cingular APN would block you from LTE.

Not sure what the point is, though.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] erick161:
For people who are IN LTE areas...using 4g would, in theory, not drain as much battery (even tho I believe they are a combined radio) versus LTE. Or being in a weak LTE area and your phone switching between 4g and LTE would drain the battery faster.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] prepaidguy9081:
All thes solutions

All these solutions, with taking out the sim, and rebootinf.

Bahh

Just use the dialer code *#2263#

Chose automatic for lte or wcdma/gsm for hsdpa+

Press back.

Done.

No reebot, no sim card jurry rigging.

Why add extra steps?

Why run juice defender? Add a process to save battery?

Well I guess of you dont want to know how to flip the light switch yourself.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] rangercaptain:
No, it's a network thing. Without a sim it won't work.
[Asus Transformer TF700] arminneman:
What can we stock users expect from a custom rom like cleanrom?

Is it really that much faster?

Will the input lag be solved ? Because now my tablet takes a few seconds to catch up with what i wrote.

I get a lot freezes where applications hang. Especially the stock browser, every few minutes i get "program is not responding" wait or close

Overal the tablet feels laggy and slow and i wonder if cleanrom will fix all these issues or that i have to accept it as it is
[Asus Transformer TF700] buhohitr:
Yes, it worth to run cleanrom 2.4. It makes everything works the way it suppose too and it makes the device worth $500. Without cleanrom, I would return my tablet. Seriously, I was once afraid to unlock because I don't know if it really better, and now people whom are not happy with their devices should unlock and flash this rom, then kick yourself in the bud for not doing it sooner.
[Asus Transformer TF700] SGPMan:
YES!! Unlock it and use the CleanROM & Data2SD mods. I was previously on CleanRom 2.3 only but it was still lagging, especially when I'm updating an app and trying to surf. Ofcourse, this is caused by the inherently poor memory Asus installed in this device. With the Data2SD mod, I'm able to multitask without the lags. TF700 + Jellybean + CleanROM + Data2SD = iPad killer
[Asus Transformer TF700] Thats OK:
[A]

Kind of depends on how desperate you are.

Have you tried the "Factory Reset" regimen.

Think twice before walking away from that Asus warranty.
[Asus Transformer TF700] arminneman:
I keep looking for new updates and fixes, so i guess pretty desperate. I have tried lots of resets but i can't really say that it was helping. I have been experiencing some weird problems lately, the screen will sometimes not respond on my finger, it looks like the device is stuck but when i use the dock to navigate it works normally. With a restart it goes away but i do fear it might be some hardware issue, altough it's probably very unlikely. Problems like these make me wonder if i should give up my warranty. On the other hand i feel that i'm not productive on this tablet the way it runs at moment. I have downgraded to ICS, i have done a few factory resets, nothing helps, at the moment i'm running JB which seems just as bad. Ever since i got this device i have been resetting and updating, hoping to get rid of some problems, i would like to use my device and stop worrying about these kind of problems. It gives me some hope that cleanrom users report some improvement, thanks for the feedback.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Thats OK:
The echo of desperation there it seems :(

Is it possible to return the Asus for a different brand or perhaps another TF700?

If not a new ROM would be the next step.

There are a few pre-unlock tricks, although the ultimate fix for some would be the custom ROM route.
[Asus Transformer TF700] duarian:
Do custom ROMs fix the lag transitioning between apps?

Really the only lag I notice on mine is when I use dolphin to browse the web, and during Netflix. That's really it. Not sure if a custom ROM will fix those issues :-/
[Asus Transformer TF700] Nothijngrad:
My Infinity spontaneously crapped out, so I'd say don't ditch the warranty unless you have e.g. SquareTrade aftermarket warranty as a backup. Asus's QC is just too poor to trust these devices to last.
[Asus Transformer TF700] mr.wizard:
Yes it is

I had the warranty officially for 5 days. The improvements with using CleanROM are astounding over plain stock. Plus, you will be able to make this tablet a beast for many moons after Asus stops updating the software. And the modifications are almost endless
[Asus Transformer TF700] nearlydigital:
No, it is not.

I unlocked mine and 2 days later I am faced with non-functional, bricked unit, without any warranty (this is completely hardware related, not software). It was a $500 mistake. It was very very good, for two days.
[Asus Transformer TF700] waltnich:
Go ahead and roll those dice, you riverboat gambler . . .

You might regret it. but take your chances, That's why you are here at XDA in the first place, right?

You will Really regret it if you put up with what you describe and do nothing about it except wait for a warranty issue, L0L
[Asus Transformer TF700] MartyHulskemper:
Without any more relevant information, I'd strongly hesitate in establishing a cause/effect relationship here. I'm sorry for the fact that you are out of warranty (seemingly), but I'd still take it up with ASUS. Unlocking the 700 probably didn't have anything to do with -- unless yo udid something stupid -- which we all do sometimes.
[Asus Transformer TF700] nearlydigital:
Uhh, I did anything but establish a cause and effect relationship. That's why I said my issue was hardware related. It had nothing whatsover to do with unlocking. My point is that with a [seemingly] very high defect ratio on these machines, the consequence of completely removing all warranty (even for unrelated issues), is severe.
[Asus Transformer TF700] AM Radio:
yes!

i never had it that bad before, so hard to say.

ASUS's stock ROM sucks compared to cleanROM. haven't had one ANR, tablet is FAST, no lags at all. no waiting.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Thats OK:
I will triple second this!

This man speaks the truth!!!
[Asus Transformer TF700] arminneman:
I unlucked my device and so far I'm very happy with it, it's unbelievable how much of a difference it made, at first i was skeptical about what other users reported but i can confirm that it's true. ASUS is doing a terrible job with their software, taking away warranty because users want normal use out of their device...they should be sued, anyway this will be my last ASUS product ever, I'm content with my infinity now thanks to the custom roms on xda, but i feel ASUS should see the consequences of their policies, the only thing i can do is stop supporting them with my wallet.

I don't know how it works in the US or other places, but here in europe there is a law that states that customers should have two years of warranty, i doubt ASUS can overrule that law by a simple " I AGREE " statement.

[Asus Transformer TF700] Thats OK:
Excellent!

Now you know!

Very happy for you...

[Asus Transformer TF700] MartyHulskemper:
Agreed -- apparently, my red flag went up before I had actually read and consumed your reply. My sincere apologies. You're right, but there are loads of people that have been unlocked and flashing away since the beginning, myself included. My guess is that, from a statistical point of view -- which is worthless in your case, where a 100% of TF700s are sucky devices ;) -- most of the 700s are actually fine.

I've had an ANR twice. Once with Chrome, 86 tabs open (picture leeching off website). The other one was my fault also, but cannot reconstruct it as well from my mind. ;)

As a consumer, that's the only vote you have.

You're right, obviously, as EU consumer law is pretty strict. However, you'd need to bring a lawyer into play, as ASUS will just keep its stance when you contact them telling them so. There's a minimum of two years' warranty against factory defects or "inability to use for intended purpose" -- the last term is pretty broad, actually. ;)
[Asus Transformer TF700] Unibrow:
Unlocking and flashing any of these roms is not a magic bullet, thought it will perform better. I'm currently playing around with Paranoid Android and really digging it.

My biggest gripe with unlocking is that I can't view play store movies and tv shows in HD anymore, I wouldn't really use it that often but it's lost functionality and it kinda pisses me off. For instance, took the family away on vacation this past summer and being able to hook up my tablet to the flat screen where we stayed was pretty nice. Now, I'll have to either have movies already installed and ripped from a bluray or just watch movies in, what appears to be, 480i.

Both cleanrom and Paranoid are pretty awesome roms and I highly recommend you check out both and some of the others, if you decide to unlock.

*edit*

for what it's worth, my TF700 boots up in a staggering 35 seconds on Paranoid android as opposed to the 1min 40+ seconds on stock and stock based roms. wicked fast

Hi,

I'm 18, and I'm looking to purchase the Nexus 4, but I do not have a credit card. I don't want to ask my parents for their credit card so I was wondering whether or not I can purchase the phone using the Play Store gift cards?

-Thanks
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mesaman2012:

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adulel08:
lol go buy $350 worth of Google credit!! Never heard of anyone doing that before!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ipfreelytech:
From the google play gift card site:

"*Google Play gift cards cannot be redeemed for Android app subscriptions, magazine subscriptions, or hardware and accessory purchases. Refer to the Google Play Gift Card Terms and Conditions for more details. Content subject to availability by country."

You could go the prepaid visa or master-card route.

Better advice is for you to go to a bank or credit union and open a savings and a checking account. Get a debit card off your checking account and you can buy the phone with that. Look into a secured credit card as a possible way to build credit, at 18 you most likely have no credit history.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] techmatlock:
^ Yeah, Checkings and Savings accounts can be setup quickly. I opened up an account at Wells Fargo in 15-20 minutes with an employee and having a debit card is really nice for Amazon, Paypal, Google Play, and other online services. I'm 19.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] partylikeaninjastar:
Just give your parents cash and use their card. Or open a bank account.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] USSENTERNCC1701E:
Buy a green dot card at walmart. Most banks also offer something similar, a prepaid debit card to be used as a universal gift card. You could give your parents the money and have them buy the card from their bank for you. Or just set up a bank account, they're damn near necessary now days.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vindikleuk:
Are you guys sure it'll work with a prepaid credit card? Aren't they considered a "virtual credit card" as well?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ImmenseGT:
Thanks for the replies, I'll stop by Wells Fargo or CitiBank today.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ipfreelytech:
Didn't see that bit. I'm going to guess that no they are not considered virtual credit cards. One of my banks does the virtual credit card, the way it works is if your about to make a purchase from a merchant you don't trust you can generate a one time use credit card number that only allows the amount you specify. They typically expire in 24hrs.

Sounds like you don't have a custom recovery installed. Through ROM Manager, flash Clockwork Recovery and you should be good to go.
[General Questions and Answers] jormapaappa1235:
Are you able to go to recovery?
[General Questions and Answers] neim81094:
Ok so galaxy checks if all the sectors are working boot sector recovery sector etc all you have to do is most likely flash a new recovery.

if you can't do that now to access your phone boot into download mode by pressing volume down+home+power(or volume up up lol one goes to recovery and one goes to download mode)

then that's where you can flash a new recovery, Rom, etc through Odin

but to get to your OS just choose to restart the phone when it asks you and it will take you straight to the Android booting screen :)

if that didn't work you just need to reflash your entire Rom

To reflash your recovery all you have to do is download clockwork recovery for your phone and flash it, it will then boot normally again I had the same problem but I accidentally removed my recovery partition reflashed a new cwm on.mine and it booted like a charm
