kckid Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 You can use Elixir app which can be downloaded from the market, or as mentioned already you can get the msl code and do it that way. Sent from my EVO using Forum Runner You can also download the 4G Toggle app and then change the drop down to radio info. Scoll down and there is a down arrow on the right side of the screen. It will give you multiple radio options including LTE Only. If you don't want to download the app, you can enter *#*#4636#*#* in the dialer and then select phone info. It will do the same thing and you don't need MSL code. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WiWavelength Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 You have to go into the internal menus that require a numeric code to be entered in the dialer. Better yet, use Any Cut to create a home screen shortcut directly to the native Testing.apk. That obviates the need to use the dialer code each time. You can see that I have also done so for the FieldTrial.apk, as ready access to good engineering screens is my #1 requirement in any handset that I use.

digiblur Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 Any cut force closes on me. Quick shortcut maker works a bit better and lets you try the shortcut first. Sent from a little old Note 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been trying this since the OTA update and it has not worked for me at all. it will let you change the rdios on and off, but i have had no success with the LTE only mode in areas where it would work without issue.I have tried it with optimizer on and off, power saver on and off, so i'm not sure if it is my phone or if it is something that they have disallowed.

chicagoepicuser Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 So is there a real consensus out there as to whether the Evo is a solid phone for LTE use? Has the JB update fixed/improved the issues? My Epic is on its last legs, so I don't think I can hold out until the M7 comes in late spring/early summer. Thanks all for the information, much appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like my EVO LTE much better now that it has the radio updates that came with Jelly Bean. I was seriously considering trading it in on an S3 but glad I didn't. I works great for me. I have a stock ROM. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CAREND Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 (edited) I can't say there were radio updates, but the lte radio editing is something i had done on my own with similar numbers for lte timer and BSR timer and I would have to constantly switch airplane mode. I haven't had to touch airplane mode since the update and even the *#*#info#*#* hasn't had to be used to push the lte signal, so something had to have been done with the priority of the radios and the strength. As i'm not a CompE or EE, i can say it seems as though something was rewritten or at least reorganized to attain the functions of better lte connection. This is with and without optimizer on.

brucebarringer Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 Is that a serious question? Sure is. I have seen some say there was and some say there was not. So what is the verdict? Has anybody analyzed the new JB code? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gameaddict8 Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 Sure is. I have seen some say there was and some say there was not. So what is the verdict? Has anybody analyzed the new JB code? HTC probably probably lowered the lte timeout number from 30 seconds to something lower like 5 seconds. simple fix for them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poster said it was a simple fix and HTC just lowered a setting. I should have said, the change was much more than that. Changes were done in the modem code itself as well.

mellimel2212 Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 Lol all updates takes time its just up to the oem development staff to test and approve the updates and send them out.
