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.

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.

No need for another site visit. At the bottom of the panels are an automated downtilt adjustment mechanism for the internal antennas that can adjust up to 10 degrees. So they are starting out 10 degr

I will say that the LTE connectivity issues don't seem to be a problem on the EVO LTE until you use LTE side by side on it with other Sprint LTE devices (as both you and I have done, and many others i

Maybe the Evo is just a little shy and when it is around other devices it doesn't like to show off. I'm going with that.

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.

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.

I set it and connected all the way home from the bar! :D

You may need to take themuffinman advice and start from scratch.

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.

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.

What makes you think that there were any radio updates that came with Jelly Bean?

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.

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

Exactly how I feel. Two thumbs up from me.

Yes, there was a new radio update that also came with the JB update.

Its not lower than 5 its set to 5 now.... Though that's not the only change...

Taken the wrong way. 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.

Any new version is gonna have a new baseband aka radio install with the update. The ics radio is different from jb

Maybe that's why it took so long for the update to come out vs the gs3. i'd rather have a new baseband and have to deal with the powersaver mode for now. lol

      Dish Network/Boost Mobile cell/5G buildout thread

      Yes! That does keep it from wandering off Dish and most importantly, reconnecting immediately (at least where there is n70). Thanks!

      Dish Network/Boost Mobile cell/5G buildout thread

      By Trip · Posted

      I have my Dish phone locked to NR-only.  That keeps it on Dish and only occasionally will it see T-Mobile NR SA for brief periods before going to no service. I also don't have mine band locked beyond that, except that I have some of the unused bands turned off just to try to reduce scan time.  Fortunately, my Dish phone is the one with the MediaTek chipset, so it has NR neighbor cells, and I can usually see n71, n70, n66, and sometimes n29 (market-dependent) through those regardless of which band it's connected to as primary. - Trip

      Dish Network/Boost Mobile cell/5G buildout thread

      By dkyeager · Posted

      Excuse my rookie comments here, but after enabling *#73#, it seems that the rainbow sim V2? requires n70 (I turned it off along with n71 - was hoping to track n66) to be available else it switches to T-Mobile.  So this confirms my suspicion that you need to be close to a site to get on Dish.  Have no idea why they don't just use plmn. To test, I put it into a s21 ultra, rebooted twice, came up on T-Mobile (no n70 on s21).  Tried to manually register on 313340, but it did not connect (tried twice). I am on factory unlocked firmware but used a s22 hack to get *#73# working.  Tried what you were suggesting with a T-Mobile sim partially installed, but that was very unstable with Dish ( I think they had figured that one out).  [edit: and now I see Boost sent me a successful device swap notice which says I can now begin to use my new device.  Sigh.  Will try again later and wait for this message - too impatient.]

      Hopefully this indicates T-Mobile hasn't completely abandoned mmwave and/or small cells? But then again this is the loop, so take that as you will. Hopefully now that most macro activity is done (besides rural colo/builds), they will start working on small cells.
