Hi all,
This should allow to force the use of the particular cellular technology:
https://git.merproject.org/mer-core/ofono/merge_requests/112
Obviously, there's no UI for this option and there won't be any time
soon, but once this patch is merged, you will be able to enable it from
the command line like this:
dbus-send --system --print-reply --type=method_call --dest=org.ofono
/ril_0 org.nemomobile.ofono.SimSettings.SetStrictTechnologySelection
boolean:true
The option survives the reboot and the value is stored on a per-SIM
basis. It would be nice if somebody could give it a try and let me know
(preferably by commenting on the merge request) if it does indeed help.
Cheers,
-Slava
Prefer 4g used to be 'lteumts' so with 3g, maybe 'lte' worked to restrict to 4G
as callback switching didn't work and now it no longer works as before, so
you'll have to be happy with 3g because they fixed it (jk, but wouldn't be
surprised, edge cases get forgotten once they figure out the popular case)

On my JP1 "Prefer 4G" in the network settings means that when 4G is
available and I'm not making a call/sending an sms I am on 4G.
I never thether WiFi though so don't know if that would work, usually use
USB tethering so that it's charging and not finishing the battery so fast.

check https://git.merproject.org/mer-core/ofono/blob/master/
ofono/doc/radio-settings-api.txt
it still says lte is for lte only, maybe a bug, or maybe a feature with
callback switching, on j1 it used to block any call functionality, might've
been undesired behaviour, no idea (I had a similar situation like you and
wanted 4g only and it used to block any 2-3g connections, maybe it was
dropped)

Hi,
thank you for your replies but the command you provided doesn't work.
I do know that I won't be able to receive calls, but on 3G I barely get 5
megabits whereas on 4G I get always 10 megabits or more, not to talk about the
amazingly low latency on 4G compared to 3G.
I want to force JP01 on 4G as once I start wifi tethering it won't
automatically go to 4G, and I do know that there is 4G coverage in that place
(as I wrote, better walls penetration on 800Mhz)..

Yeah, ppl calling you would get busy signal (and no text from your provider to
tell you about it), it doesn't work on jollac,and since radio switcher was
mentioned as no longer working no idea if it still does
