Is there a way to use tasker to disable searching for cell service on AT&T version? - AT&T LG G3

Is there a way to use tasker to disable searching for cell service on AT&T version?
See title.
I have zero service at my work office and the battery drain searching for a signal is not terrible but noticeable compared to battery when I'm home.
So far I can only find options on tasker to disable data but not actual cell signal.
Thanks in advance.

Airplane mode? You can have it on and still use the WiFi. That's what I would do.

OK I have another option.

Click on phone information and then turn off radio. Dial the numbers again to enable it once needed. ☺

Wifi tethering issue on sprint (and possibily also other network)?

I seem to have wifi tethering issue with my nexus 5 on sprint. It's detecting LTE and 3G signal fine and I can use the phone browser, etc. But with hotspot enabled, my tablet can connect to the nexus 5 fine. Just that the tablet doesn't detect that there is internet at all. Wondering if sprint pushed something into my phone when i have it connected to sprint initially.
Anyone has this issue and on sprint?
Search the forum, there is a fix. You'll have to be rooted.

Droid MAXX on T-Mobile?

I want to buy the Droid MAXX off-contract to use on T-Mobile (my Nexus 4 just broke). But I'm having trouble figuring out how to do that? Verizon wants me to pay month-to-month and with a plan? How do I just buy the darn phone?
I had a terrible time trying to just buy the phone outright through them. I was at the Verizon store for about 3 hours. Finally got it, went home, then saw the dev edition was out. So if I were you I would just get the dev model if its not sold out straight from Moto's website.

I'd just tell em straight up I don't want service I want the damn phone or I'll go elsewhere. Works for me all the time.

Droid maxx on T-Mobile
I switched my XT1080m to T-Mobile today and everything is working perfectly... Just switch preferred network to LTE/GSM/UMTS and I haven't had anymore problems...
And my Droid Maxx is not a developer edition either, just swap out Sims
Mind if I ask where you are located? I'm debating on switching my Maxx to T-Mobile as well.

U are having issues. Trust me. See that your MDN is unknown? Issue number one? Now try make a call. Will take two attempts as the first always fails. There is a bad LTE HSPA handoff issue right now on 4.4 that according to another thread, moto knows about

Thats really odd? Couple questions.
What baseband do you have listed?
When you place or receive a call, do you drop LTE?
Have you been able to send and receive text?

Does it hold LTE while on a call? Mine is setup just like yours and mine kills LTE, fails first call attempt, picks up HSPA+ then calls.

Thats what I was trying to get to. I was under the impression that you were on constant LTE with no issues. Now that you say you leave it on H+ that makes sense. Not to worry, H+ pulls about 9Mb/s where as when im on VZW LTE I pull about 8.

I had a maxx running 4.4 kitkat using the phone info app and settings tweak on HSPA with WCDMA preferred as the setting. I am in a refarmed area in N.C cant tell any big difference between speed when I had the Iphone 5 on Tmobile LTE and the Maxx with HSPA. Seems just as fast.
Then i broke the screen on the maxx -_- instead of replacing the screen just got a new phone since Im not with verizon and it would have been 345 to replace the screen.
Just got a new one but its running 4.2.2 and am using the same settings with same results. :good:

Can you see if you activate LTE how it functions? Curious to know if this bug was introduced in 4.4

When I first got the phone I thought the same, I actually was under the impression the LTE wouldnt even pick up with my Tmobile sim on 4.2.2 Before I made the settings changes, I had my wifi on, LTE showed active on the status bar, I shut my wifi off, and it reverted to HSPA but did not have any active data, or any active cellular functions. I re activated the wifi, the LTE status came back but still had no cellular functions, the data I did have was obviously coming from my wifi and not cell data. For some reason I though 4.2.2 I didnt have to make any changes and HSPA would work automatically, but I guess not. Im not picky though as long as it works somehow, I am happy.

Maybe a reboot and retry? Do this for me. Turn off wifi and set pref mode to LTE/Gsm/umts. Leave the pref network to auto and try that
Maxx'd out Kit Kat
Gave that a shot with no luck. Was there a specific network mode I was supposed to select in the phone info app? I had in the phone settings LTE/GSM/UMTS and network on auto, i scrolled through a bunch of the selections in the phone info app with no luck, just HSPA and no connection.
Just got me the Dev Edition ordered. Says in stock but shipping may take 7days. Going to use mine on at&t for now

It goes into the normal call screen, but doesn't ring or anything. It just says "Called Ended" It will end the calls even before they are connected. Also when people call me they tell me that it just goes immediately to voice mail, it doesn't even ring on their end. :silly:
Do you see signal on your side at all? What's the provider?

Try going to the app drawer, go to the phone app, tap and hold, and drag it up to "App Info" then try clearing app data and cache and see if that works.

This is usually caused by someone forcing LTE ONLY on their device. You cant make calls over LTE so it is looking to switch to 3g/H and it cant. You need to check your settings:
open dialer
*#*#4636#*#*
Phone Information
LTE/GSM Auto (PRL)

Toggle 3g and LTE automatically

I have stock rooted (xposed and Gravity box) with 4.4.4
Since lte signal is terrible at my home I would like to toggle automatically to 3g when home and LTE otherwise.
I do use tasker for some automation. However I could not find a way to toggle lte and 3g automatically.
Any help is appreciated

You could use a recycled NFC Tag.

I was just recently using this feature. Pulled out a Lumia running WP10 I don't have activated. No service yet I was still going and listening to different radio stations. It's a nice feature to have.
