3G/4G Menu

---

Where is the hidden menu for the 4g preferred setting? Isn't there a hidden setting menu. My phone tried to stay on edge. My little brother has a blaze and is right next to me and his is on 4g and mine is on edge....

I still have IMEI so that isnt the issue.

go to the play market and download phone info

Should it be set to gsm/cdma auto(Prl)?

It was on gsm auto (Prl).

It seems since I flashed a Rom and then did my Nan restore to stock rooted it preferred edge over 4g.

no if you want it to prefer 4g ovr edge then you have to have it set to wcdma preferred. that's tmobile's 4g! and then when it isn't available it will simply go to edge. that's definitely your best bet.

I did that now. It still was sticking on edge. I then switched it to wcdma only and it switched right to 4g. Thing is on edge it had full bars. 4g only two. I wonder if that's why it stayed on edge. Anyone know?

So I'm visiting family in Toms River NJ and I have full bars of Edge service, but no 4G service. Should I try switching network settings or what ??

try wcdma preferred. It helps stay on 4g. There may not be 4g where you are. Might want to check on that.

So I did this same thing and it's telling me I'm on 3G.

When I was on completely stock ROM out of the box, I was on "4G" all the time.

Now, every ROM I've flashed to test out which one I like, it displays 3G BUT whenever I click on a link it switches to H+. Then when that link is done loading it switches back to displaying 3G. Am I correct in assuming that it is supposed to do this?

Edit - After reading the NEXT post while I was doing my search, it seems that I was correct. :]
