ForceLTE is a network diagnostic and utility launcher designed to help you access and monitor hidden system cellular configurations. With ForceLTE, you can view advanced signal metrics, test socket connection latency, and select network preferences.
Key Features:
• Hidden Settings Launcher: Access Android's built-in hidden radio setting console (Methods for Android 11+, Legacy, and manufacturer-specific shortcuts) to switch network modes such as LTE Only or NR Only (5G).
• Real-time Telemetry Dashboard: Monitor essential cellular statistics including dBm signal strength, Cell Identity (CI), Physical Cell ID (PCI), Tracking Area Code (TAC), Base Station (eNB/gNB) identifiers, MCC, MNC, and active technology types.
• Native Diagnostics Engine: Perform low-level socket ping tests to measure real-time latency, DNS resolution speed, and packet loss rate.
• Dual-SIM Support: View separate diagnostic data and compare signal quality for SIM 1 and SIM 2.
Important Safety & Compatibility Disclaimer:
• Not a Signal Booster: ForceLTE is a utility tool to access settings already built into your Android device. It cannot boost network signals, extend coverage, or modify physical hardware limits.
• Carrier & Device Lock Limitations: Forcing network modes (like LTE Only) depends entirely on your device manufacturer (such as Samsung, Xiaomi, or OnePlus) and your mobile carrier. Some operators restrict access to band configuration.
• Auto Reset/Restore: If you lock your device to a network mode not supported in your current area, you may temporarily lose call and text services. Use the "Restore Default" option inside the app to return to automatic mode.
Permissions Explained:
• Location Permission (ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION): Required by the Android OS API to query cellular tower data, PCI, and real-time dBm signal levels. Location data is processed ephemerally on-device and is never uploaded or shared.
• Phone Permission (READ_PHONE_STATE): Required to determine the carrier name, SIM active status, and connection quality.
