Here is a thread that talks about RAT restrictions. It appears to have to do with restricting access to certain bands, but I am swimming in waters that are deeper than my skills will allow.

I gonna do a run for this later today to see if it will actually work for allowing band selection and sticking.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] larryka:
It seemed to work for me, but it's only been a couple of minutes so far after turning off LTE. BTW, the first menu is "UMTS", not "Units".
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Anonymously_Unknown:
Any suggestions on how to make these changes permanent without rooting?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] aybarrap1:
Since there is now a known code to lift restrictions until reboot, I hope some dev will figure out a way on stock based roms (both stock and mods), as well as AOSP based, to make it permanent. I have tried AOKP and CM10 in hopes the LTE and 2G toggles would work but no dice with AT&T SGS3.

Given the issue at hand, it is most likely a deeply embedded setting that will not be available to standard user base (non rooted), henceforth root access or even on a programming level will be needed to make the necessary changes. How the changes will be made available, if it is done, will depend on what was needed to make it permanent. This raises the question of where is this restriction coded into the AT&T SGS3. Is it firmware, ROM, SIM related, Radio? Seriously doubt it is hardware itself since there are ways to get around the restriction.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] norbarb:
Yes you are corect. I make correction in OP.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] aybarrap1:
Testing RAT unlock now.

Testing this method now. So far I am running on 2G. I will give it at least a couple of hours and will update this post accordingly.

Update: I was messing around and decided to save this USSD (the official name of these secret dialer codes) in my contacts. From dialer you can start pressing *#1 and when it appears just press it. This gives quick access should you need to change radios often. I also want to add that instead of going back into *#2263# you can also select the band from *#197328640#. If you want to change it immediately, then once you get the confirmation "Now RAT Free Supporting" press the menu key on the left of the Home button. Select back and repeat again to go back again. Then, instead of choosing Network Lock choose Network Control-->Band Selection. This takes you to the same menu that *#2263# does and you can select accordingly.

@norbarb...perhaps you can update your OP to reflect that you can stay within the original selection instead of *#2263# and just go back twice to access the band selection. It is just one more way of doing things.

I also did the test of rebooting my phone. As mentioned by norbarb, if you have rebooted the RAT restriction is back in place. Regardless of which option you take to the band selection it will show RAT restriction until you follow the OPs steps again to remove restriction. Have not found a way for permanent removal of the restriction yet (I am optimistic and really want this permanent so I will look very hard to find a solution.). Also when I rebooted I had GSM 2G only selected prior and I kept the option upon reboot so only the RAT restriction is reset...not the network band settings.

Update 2: After 4 hours I am still on 2G Edge. I am in a very good LTE location so this is definitely the most promising outlook. I have found that I despite my love for the look of AOSP roms, the inability to turn on 2G at all will keep me with TW for now. Thankfully I do not mind the look of TW and with root, I can kill the Bloatware. I will look at all of the options in the *#197328640# menus and see if there is anything that may can be applied for permanent access. I also wonder if the secret to overriding the lack of options for network choices in *#*#4636#*#* will be here as well as this would more preferable to shut down LTE only.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] shortydoggg:
Same here.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] geoldr:
Isn't the problem with doing this, say if you disable LTE and only select HSPA, it wont go to any 2G networks if you are out of coverage. Because its not on 'automatic', its on HSPA. So if you are out of a service zone of HSPA, then you dont have anything to fall back to.

If only there was a way to disable LTE, and use the other networks 'automatically'.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] aybarrap1:
That is the problem. However, AT&T in their infinite focus on trying to force users to their networks of choice has purposely had the ability to do network selections disabled. Under normal circumstances in android devices the option of network selection is under settings and mobile networks option. This is removed I am sure at AT&T's request. The other way to access this is to use USSD *#*#4636#*#* in dialer and select "Device Information" which will give you an option to choose a network preference. While the USSD works the option to select network preference does not work.

At least with the option to unlock RAT and using USSD *#2263#, it gives some sort of ability to choose a network. For me this is perfect since I want the 2G only due to poor 3G and LTE signals at work. However you are right that it is not convenient if you just want LTE off. For the moment there is no known way to obtain this option on the AT&T SGS3.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] geoldr:
Yep. I also think it's something to do with AT&T network setup. Because on AOSP ROM's we can't toggle LTE either. But the same ROM on a Canadian model phone will work just fine.

Even though the iphone has an LTE toggle. At least I read somewhere that it does.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] aybarrap1:
It has nothing to do with the network setup...it is the carrier forcing restrictions on their customers. I have had three other android phones (including my wifes) in the last three years. All of them were restricted from choosing the network from stock rom. The moment I uploaded a ROM such as CM or other AOSP Roms I was magically able to do a network select. I even had to Windows phones (6.1 and 6.5) and both of them were stripped but with some registry edits I was able to add the option back to select between 3G/2G and 2g only. It is AT&T's way and they are notorious for it.

On a side note, I would not be surprised if AT&T is the primary corporate network that pushed for this network SIM lock ruling by the Congressional Librarian. Of all the carriers they have the most to lose.

I have been testing this for the last 4 hours and it does seem to work. Went to 2g only area and it switched perfectly to 2G and reverted back to 3g when I left the area. However I am not able to do GSM ONLY (2G only) using this method. You will have to follow the instructions on this thread for that.

Click back button and try setting radio by pressing *#2263#.

How to set radio by pressing *#2263#?

And what is RTA will lock back after restarting?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] OKAstro:
So what is the benefit of the ability to change bands?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] aybarrap1:
It could result in battery savings and reduced dropped calls. For instance, I am often in and out of areas with little to no bandwidths under LTE. At default, my phone would always looking for an LTE signal which means my battery takes a pounding. By having my phone only look for 2G/3G, I do not take as large of a battery hit. Besides that, LTE does consume more power. For the most part I leave my phone with LTE off because the data speed is not crucial for me. At home I have a really fast WiFi network so it is better to be on it anyway while at home.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] OKAstro:
OK Thanks. But under Settings/More Networks/Mobile Networks/Network Mode there are 13 "band" combination choices. Do those choices not provide what you''re looking for (i.e.2G/3G)?

I've never changed mine, so I'm curious
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] aybarrap1:
{RANT} I like the ability to select the network. However, AT&T has notoriously been deleting or disabling the option on pretty much all of the stock ROMS on the android variants. Network Mode is not even an option under Mobile Networks. This has been true with all the AT&T branded android phones my wife and I have owned, which includes the HTC Aria, HTC Inspire 4G, Motorola Atrix 2, Galaxy SIII, Galaxy S5, and LG G3. On stock ROMs, even if rooted, the only option that sometimes worked was the usage of dialer codes but if you look on other carrier branded or international versions, the option of Network Mode exists. I have installed custom AOSP ROMS on the HTC phones and both the Galaxy phones and the Network Mode is available (and I use quite often). In my opinion, this indicates that AT&T purposely disables this functionality. In fact on my LG G3, I have the option in the stock rooted ROM. I did not have it originally, but once I changed a text line in the build.prop file from "AT&T" to "OPEN" I suddenly had the Network Mode option available, which supports my case that it is something AT&T deliberately does. {END RANT}.

So short of it is that if I have a custom ROM on an AT&T variant or some other means in which to make Network Mode show up under the stock rom, then yes I use it. Otherwise I find work arounds if available, such as discussed in this forum.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] SlapdashJohnson:
So did anyone figure how to disable this permanently?

I'm tired of having to reset my bands whenever have to restart my phone.
[General Questions and Answers] Neurotica:
This is a very confusing question but I will try my best to explain. There are 2 phones in question here :

1. Motorola RAZR MAXX

2. Motorola RAZR MAXX HD.

Is it possible for a 4G SIM to change your device info within Verizon's records? As of now and hands on experience, YES! Beware. You could be in for a nightmare.

Friend of mine(not very savvy), was trying to transfer her pictures from her MAXX to her MAXX HD through a MicroSD swap. Since she didn't know the difference between the SIM and the MicroSD she swapped both from the MAXX to the MAXX HD with no warning/error messages whatsoever. She uses it for about 4 weeks and loses her MAXX HD. Files a claim with Asurion, who rejects the claim since the ESN/IMEI of the HD which she got on the box doesn't match what Verizon has on file. She logs into her My Verizon account to find a picture of a Droid RAZR MAXX and the wrong info.

It seems that just by switching the 4G SIM from the MAXX to the MAXX HD completely switched the device info online. Please note that it doesn't work the other way around. The RAZR MAXX didn't work with the RAZR MAXX HD's 4G SIM.

Has anyone ever had this issue? Does anyone(working at VZW or Asurion) know of a way to get the HD replaced? Please note this is not a scam :

- There is proof of the device being bought from AmazonWireless.

- The Box, Charger and SIM Clips including the original SIM that came with the HD is in her possession.

- She already flagged the HD's ESN as lost/stolen.

- She has the MAXX in her possession.

- The Verizon system does show the MAXX HD being on her account at some point.

Amazon Wireless has the instant discount policy that warns you that the phone has to be on the account for 181 consecutive days otherwise they charge you the full retail of the phone which is currently at $729 + Tax. So she is obviously not trying to run a scam. Just saying. Honest mistake and honest claim here.

Please advise.

Sorry if this is a noob question, but is it possible to convert the ICS port bin file to kdz format so that we can flash/recover it more easily??

AW: [Q] ICS ROM .kdz format port

Its the same thing, its very easy to flash bin, when you have installed the drivers right. This is 2 clicks when you have everything prepered.

If you have problems with flashing you can ask i will try to help :)
[LG Optimus 3D] ipapun4545:
Yeah I already did it, I am just being curios. BTW there is one help I want, When I flashed ICS bin file and v18A baseband [my phone is P925] ...my phone work. Good network, everything is good. But got a very weird problem, every-time I try connected 3G , its appear for about 10-15 sec [I can access to internet in this time] then disappear, then re-appear again and disappear, I thought may be a problem in base-band so tried a lot base-band and even tried v30B...the network complete gone. Will be great if you could help. Again, I tried every baseband available so please dont say me to try a new baseband.

Thanks

Can anyone provide a flashable zip? I know how to do it manual but I`d rather have a flashable zip It was once posted in a thread but I dont remember. for it to show 4G instead of H+ and LTE instead of 4G
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] twanskys204:
I dont mean to be rude but, whats the point?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] gridlock489:
This is easy to do, but the only way I know how to do it requires the SystemUI.apk to be replaced. This would remove any themes you have applied to the status bar. Theoretically you can use any icon you want to, but Touchwiz only has a few icons included (so you can make your own or switch to generic Android icons). If you are okay with these things, I can make a flashable zip file for you.

You're in the wrong forum to make posts like that. XDA is for people trying to tweak their devices.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] mocsab:
I totally understand the point for the OP's request - personally, we recently got LTE in the area I live in - it was big deal to me - seeing the 4G LTE show up in the status bar was always very satisfying for me - I had waited so long to get it - the other symbols, while meaning the same thing - just don't have the same sort of "panache".... it may sound silly to you - but I get it. Unfortunately, I personally would not want to lose theming just to have the 4G lte show up the way the OP requested - better to have it baked into what ever theme you are using or if you know how, to manually do it -

I really just wanted to respond to the lack of tolerance I saw in response to the op request - each of us has a right to appreciate whatever special little tweak might be possible on our phones and it really should not be discouraged - it is what XDA is all about. Every theme or ap or rom is not for everyone - each chooses what is most important to them - so if you don't happen to agree with what one person likes - so what? you wouldn't have to flash it would you?
