Hello guys.

I need another tip as I am not running AT&T network in Europe I wanted to ask you if you are able to switch manually between network types 2G/3G/4G. The phone connects me to 4G regardless to how bad the reception is, and in that areas I want to be able to swotch from 4G to 3G.

Does any of you have a solution for this item?

Your responses will be appreciated.

As far as I've ever known, the only way to really impact that without root would be to change APN settings. I can't really provide specifics on this device, but there definitely isn't a quick and easy way to toggle between them.

I 've found myself this solution after google it. Thank you! I wonder if there is a solution for a toggle in the notification bar.

There isn't any other solution and there is no root available for this thing it's very lockdown so unless someone comes up with something you will just have to do the method I showed you

You saved me from selling my beloved S7 Active! After searching (camo green, unlocked) from about 2 months, I bought it a week ago. I'm using "MINT SIM". So on default network settings, I'm fine outdoor, but indoor situation is horrible, it keeps me in LTE (barely 1 bar). So calls were getting disconnected. I don't care about data in my house, as I'm on WIFI all the time. Now, from your provided code, I selected 'Global Auto' and I'm getting ALL bars of network! It is connecting me to UMTS automatically! Data speed good enough for me! I don't have to sell it anymore! Thanks a lot!!
