If you’ve ever tried to use hidden dialer codes to unlock secret network settings on your Android phone, you probably know the struggle — some phones support them, many don’t. And when those codes fail, accessing advanced network controls feels impossible.
The good news? There’s a simple workaround.
A powerful app called Force LTE Only (4G/5G) allows you to open hidden phone information settings, lock your device to a preferred network mode, and even enable mobile internet during Airplane Mode. If your device doesn’t support secret codes, this app becomes the next best solution.
In this guide, I’ll explain how the app works, why it’s useful, and how to use it safely — in simple, beginner-friendly steps.
Force LTE Only (4G/5G) App — What It Actually Does
Force LTE Only (4G/5G) is designed to give Android users direct access to hidden network settings that phone manufacturers don’t always make easy to find.
Whether your goal is to check signal strength, switch to 5G-only mode, or troubleshoot poor connectivity, this app acts like an advanced shortcut to those hidden system controls.
Key Features (Why People Use It)
- Unlock hidden network settings
- Enable mobile data even in Airplane Mode (device-dependent)
- Open phone information settings easily
- Check mobile usage statistics
- View Wi-Fi information
- Multiple access methods for different Android models
- dBm signal strength meter
- Dark Mode support
These features are especially useful for users with budget phones or custom UI skins that block secret dialer codes.
How to Use the Force LTE Only (4G/5G) App
Before starting, make sure the app is installed — without it, the settings won’t open.
Step 1: Install the App
- Open Google Play Store
- Search for Force LTE Only (4G/5G)
- Download and install it
Once installed, open the app, tap Next, and allow the requested permissions.
Step 2: Choose the Right Method for Your Phone
After permissions are granted, the app will show multiple access methods.
Pick the method that works best for your device.

Select Method 1
Then tap 4G Method 1
This will open the hidden Phone Information screen.
Step 3: Enable Mobile Data in Airplane Mode (If Supported)
Inside the Phone Information screen:
- Look for Mobile Radio Power

Once enabled, many devices allow mobile internet even in Airplane Mode.
Note: Some phones or carriers may block this function — results vary.
