Help Network Select/Hidden Menu Premia 4G

[Kiibz29]

I just recently replaced my Motion with the Premia 4g...On the motion i was able to get into the network select menu..where i could pick from the networks listed...go from 4g to 3g, to 1x...or LTE to EVDO or whatnot...I can't seem to find any way of getting into this "hidden menu" here on the Premia using such similar methods. I did find a code thats ##626* Where i'm then prompted to enter a code i found on whiterabbit.org by putting in my IMEI#...

Does anyone know how to access this "hidden menu" on the Huawei phones? I've looked high and low and can't seem to find any to get into it.

Reason for this is with the Motion i had 4g full service never an issue. With the Premia I'm noticing that i'm going from a weak 2-3 bars of 4g and then quickly reverting to 1x. If i'm not able to maintain a 4g signal i'd like to at least try to connect to 3g...if possible.

If anyone can help me with this i'd appreciate it.

Thanks all

Edit: I've been maintaining a weak 4g signal in my home where with the LG Motion 4G i had a strong 4G connection in my home and out of it, I'm now returning this device tomorrow to the store for a replacement to see if another Premia does the same thing. If it does i will just simply return it and get another Motion as i really don't want to lean toward the Avid over the Motion, however the service with the Premia is just bad.

Another reason for doing so also is the fact that the Premia will go from a weak 4G signal to a quickly and weak 1x data connection. The Motion would go from 4G, 3G, 1x respectively depending on coverage.

Thanks anyway guys.

I will report my changes and findings tomorrow after leaving the store.

U can do it using apex launcher long press home screen select shortcuts then activity scroll down to Hidden Settings .the network mode settings .I switch to evdo when I go over my data limit the speeds are just as fast

Can this phone be switched to GSM 900/1800 mode (like some motorola 4g phones) using hidden menu? Also, will it work in 3g CDMA networks? Thanks!

This a CDMA phone so I don't think it be would work on gsm networks

Since it's a CDMA phone, will it work in native 2G/3G CDMA networks? I plan to use it in a country where there is no 4G LTE, yet there are couple of CDMA providers. Currently I use Motorola Droid X and Droid 2 in those networks and they work perfectly.

i was having the same problem...what you need to do is take the back cover off and copy the sim card number then call your phone company and tell them you need to update/refresh your simcard number to your account

i can't post links yet but i wanted to show everyone how you can view it, maybe someone can find another way by accessing how I did

Requirements:
An Android phone.
Launcher Pro


Step 1
Go to your homescreen (using a custom launcher) and Long-Press on an empty spot.

This also works with ADW launcher, but the process is changed to Custom Shortcut > Pick your activity > Activities


Step 2
From the next menu, Select Activities.* Now you should be at a black screen with a list of phone activities. Slide-down to whatever activity you can find with
