Can You Develop 4G LTE Only Option On Sprint Nexus?

---

I am posting here because it seams no one knows why some phones have LTE only options and some do not.

I was wondering if someone can develop this feature somehow if the user is rooted and has there MSL code that doesn't have the LTE only option by Default.

Is this possible via development and if not why?

The only problem with going to LTE only is, on Sprint, LTE only supports data service. So if you went to LTE only you would lose voice service.

I want to lose my voice services. I just want to use my phone as a Data access point.

So do you know if someone can develop this feature?

It's possible to have LTE only, yet not many people can develop radios that shut out normal service. Good idea
Though!

Ya what if some one developed a ROM feature to where you can at least disable 3G so the phone could only connect to LTE. This could bypass the possible hardware limitations.

Probably won't work but use efrants return to stock guide and instead of flashing both radios try flashing the LTE radio only and see what that gets you

I wonder why this is not more popular and why more people are not working on this possibility.

Search in the Play Store for "Network" by Philipp Mangelow. It is actually a shortcut to the phone's built in diagnostics mode. It doesn't work for stock or ROMs with stock kernels, but I have used it to put the phone into LTE-only mode for testing. You will see both GSM and CDMA settings, regardless of which one your phone is. Try them all, sometimes the setting is mislabeled (its a bug with the ROM, not the app).

So in short, even if your ROM doesn't support LTE-only, you have a good chance of this feature with this app.

because most people require voice service.
