How to turn on and off LTE

Read number 8

8. 1XRTT CDMA will not simultaneously transmit with LTE in any configuration(s) or mode(s) via software, set at the factory. This is a requirement of our buyer.

This is from the paperwork samsung filed with the FCC for the indulge. samsung ships the phone with voice and data not able to happen simultaneously. It even says that this has been disabled via software, so the phone is able to do it but the android OS samsung ships prevents it because that is what metropcs required them to do.

Yeah but they kept telling me at every corporate meeting not to "refer" to it as one. Claimed it was called a IMEI card or some shit. But ya I knew it was one, and this proves it lol.

The only time my 4g turns on (after i shut it off obv) is when/after i make phone calls. Im almost programmed to shut it off each time after.

a MikesToolz your signature thats werewards isint that i belive you earned some of my last reward LOL

Nope do as many as you want and they all just wait in the pending list until they get approved.



another cool app thats like this one i saw while at a local restaurant called SCVNGR. That one gives you discounts at the restaurants by completing chalenges like taking a picture of your food, checking in, posting a message.
they had a paper about it at my local Buffalo Wild Wings. Just for checking the first time in at the restaurant with the app It gave me enough points to get $5 off of our meals.

thats cool on the scvnger app

but on the wereward i did one and it wouldnt let me do a second one everytime i claim it and take the pic it saves and goes right back to camera and not the post page LOL

and most of all will it let you do the same one of course on different days but still the same one more then once

 

[MikesTooLz]

There is a time limit between each one you do. I think you have to wait a couple minutes.

and I have done the same place more than once, but dont know if you can do it again while you already have one pending for the same location.

Awesome thank you

I have another idea: if you're tired of fighting LTE coming back on, why not just pull the SIM card out of the phone, lol!

It stays off for me, Im not having any issues with it coming back on unless I tell it to.

Also i think the phone shuts off all communication if the simcard is pulled(if i remember correctly from the last time i pulled mine).

hm, that's interesting. Apparently, a lot of things are different in Florida

it's a bummer if it shuts off EVERYTHING, when you eject the sim card... sonsofb$tches the are

Anyone know what any of these other commands do in the LTE Test menu? Like attach, detach, system_loss, rmpc, ati, api check, default interface...etc. I've probably tapped all of them once or twice now unintentionally but haven't notice any problems a reboot couldn't solve

Thanks to Nickrussel I found this out.

First download the app any cut. Go to your home screen and make a short cut. Obviously choose any cut, and then choose activity. Then look for LTE Functionality test. Then click it when its on the home screen. Notice at the top the two options OMG this is amazing! I tested it to in an LTE area, and it stayed on x1 instead of going to LTE. I'll do more testing, but so far we have a way to turn it on and off!! Again great find thanks to Nickrussel, awesome app find man!

saved my ass, thanks

So, if you shut off LTE it's on 1x? Is that the old(slow) 1x? Or is it 2g or 3g.

It's SLOWg. (1x)

 

[pl0323]

It's SLOWg. (1x)

Thanks for the info, I'm debating on the Indulge or switching to Boost, I have a touch pro 2 on Metro for about a year, it's just to slow at 1x.

Thanks for your input, greatly appreciated. The Boost 3g sound a little better.

hey first of all, turning off the LTE really helps a lot. charges faster and last longer.
however i noticed that after lets say 3 days of using it, now it keeps going back to 1x even if i turn on the LTE, not sure if this is because i was messing with the on/off thing or is because the service has been irregular the past 2 days, but it didn't happen before.

any ideas? thanks

Service has been shitty here the past few days here as well. We're guinea pigs for Metro's LTE so we can expect crap like this to occur every now and then. Today I couldn't even download higher than 2mbps when I normally was getting speeds in the 4 - 5 mbps range

Note to mods: Methinks this topic should probably be stickied? It has fallen down to the second page, yet is still a common problem for new users (and will continue to be until we get a custom ROM, which is a bit off still). Just today, I had to find it so I could post a link to it for someone who wanted to know how to turn off LTE.

 

[Mejinomaru]

i know but i think for all the beginners it would be safer not to give access to critical files that can brick the phone

and for me personally i rather have a app on my screen that just turns off and on rather then going in deeper into it with all the other options

By the way its now been alittle over eight hours total since my full charge and i have only done about 2 hours worth of mixed usuage on the phone the battery is currently at 52% so i lost 48% in the last eight hours

Im glad I joined this site finaaly some ppl to talk to about this issue I actually love my 4g when Im at work especially on my lunch breaks when i watch droid streamer with a 4g connection but here is my delemma My 4g just goes out sometimes when im in a 4g area so i tried any cut and I saw the LTE functions I seen on youtube you can turn it off then back on but when i want to turn it on it doesnt come on unless I reboot my phone I even entered the code where you can have it on LTE mode only then it says something like restart please Im not sure if its asking me to reboot my phone or what? Id like just a little switch just like the wifi button to toggle the function on or off sorry for my ramblings But Im just looking for a solution to this I've downloaded so many apps for this and none have worked for me I really dont want to brick my phone or anything so any advice anyone?

If you use the Anycut toggle app, when you tap on LTE ON, just be patient and it'll reconnect. It seems to take a while as if it cycles through some background 4g waking program, kinda like when wifi is looking for new APs to connect to (only scans once in a while...)
If you want to force it, you can open the dialer, hit 1, let the voicemail run for like 2 or 3 seconds, and then end the call. This should "reset" the timer on whatever program checks the 4g and you'll have it back sooner!
If you use **583385##, then yes, you must restart for the new settings to take effect...

I've even tried to kill the radio and turn it back on using LTE On Off, but it only killed the CDMA radio, not the LTE

Did you disable the data connection first? As stated before I get great results with this app.

 

[Oakland79]

I always turn my 4G LTE off when not using the internet on the phone.
Really helps with battery life.
