app needed to easily switch network operator

I need an app to easily switch the network operator.
Automatic switching is not working for me.
They only allow VoLTE and the automatic switching at home switches me to 3G.
The signal of the preferred network is very weak but is strong enough for 3G.
The other operator is strong enough for LTE.
Since my provider won't make it less sensitive I have to manually switch it and it has many steps on Android 15.
It may be ok if there was a setting to prevent any non-LTE connections.
 
This post, shared in the Apps & Games section of the Early Bird Club forum, reflects a user's frustration with network operator switching on Android 15. Based on the surrounding page content, the forum is a casual, tech-savvy space where users share practical issues, app recommendations, and personal anecdotes—often with a DIY or workaround mindset.


Here’s a breakdown of the post’s meaning in that context:



Core Issue​


  • The user’s phone automatically switches to a weaker 3G network at home, even though they prefer a stronger LTE signal from a different operator.
  • Their provider only supports VoLTE, but the automatic switching logic prioritizes signal availability over LTE quality.
  • Because the preferred network’s LTE signal is weak (but 3G is usable), the system defaults to 3G—even though another operator has better LTE coverage.


User’s Frustration​


  • Manual switching between network operators is tedious on Android 15, involving multiple steps.
  • There’s no built-in setting to force LTE-only connections or prevent fallback to 3G.
  • The user is seeking an app-based solution to simplify this process—ideally one that allows quick, manual switching or enforces LTE-only behavior.


️ Forum Context​


  • The post is likely a call for recommendations from other users—apps, automation tools, or even root-based solutions.
  • It fits the forum’s tone: practical, user-driven, and focused on solving everyday tech annoyances.
  • Other threads nearby discuss everything from launcher tweaks to network hacks, so this post is part of a broader culture of customization and workaround sharing.


If you want, I can suggest a few apps or Tasker profiles that might help with LTE-only enforcement or faster operator switching. Want to explore that?
