One of the most annoying thing I’ve ever witness is network switching
from 4G to 2G and you know what that means when its on 2G… I know some of you
are having this issue, despite the facts that you have strong 3G in your
location and your device supports 3G but you are constantly on 2G which is can
be so annoying.

But there is a way you can force 3G WCDMA or 4G LTE only
permanently on your smartphone. The only downside is that if you are in a
location where 4G or 3G isn’t supported, you may not have network coverage.

Is dere any diff btw dis and go to network settings on phone where u can chose the preferred network without using any code? Just asking d diff thou
A very big difference bro. The network setting directly on phones in most cases doesn't set it to 3G only as it still returns back to 2G depending on network flunctuation
Sir yomi what of we using iOS devices
U can try *#*#3646633#*#*
Thanks Prof, the first code worked for me.
prof, plz I'm using a doov s2y phone and sim 1 doesn't support Nigeria sim cards. how do I force sim 2 to work on HSPA?
which network is it locked to?
Bro…how about iphone users
Good tutorial. Or u can go to Googleplay and download 4G lte switch ot 4G only network mode. Open it scroll down and select lte only or wcdma only. Or select lte/wcdma. That's what am using.
Thanks for Your informative update
thank you for the info boss
@Prof do u make and receive calls on the 4 mode..?
Yes, I do
a China sim
If you don't know the network its locked to, there is no way you can unlock it.
His problem might not be a sim lock
the phone might not support our 3G frequencies
TO EVERYONE THAT WANT TO FORCED THE PHONE TO BE ON 3G OR 4GLTE REMEMBER IF THE 3G OR 4GLTE SIGNAL IS LOST IN YOUR AREA YOUR PHONE WILL NOT PICK ANY SIGNAL UNTIL THE LOST SIGNAL IS FOUND
Prof am having the same issue with my Samsung Prime which is locked to AT & T sim. How can unlock it to make it work with My mtn sim
