Unexpected Mode Preference when using --nas-set-system-selection-preference

OK... I got RAT selection working at the office by using 'uqmi --set-network-modes'.

Looks like you are correct about GSM/UMTS Dan, albeit the VZmanager does not approve it. Neither did any other QMI client so I guess it has some obscure network / operator lock since it is not SIM locked.

Btw I used fw 1.48 on my device FWIW.

I noticed that if I run the command with the verbose tag, the Mode Preference sent to the modem is ‘gsm, lte, td-scdma’. I think this causes problems since my modem doesn’t support td-scdma (--dms-get-capabilities shows only cdma20001x, evdo, gsm, umts, lte). I also noticed that whatever input I give to --nas-set-system-selection-preference, it seems to OR it with gsm, lte, and td-scdma. Is there a way to get --nas-set-system-selection-preference to only send ‘lte’ for the Mode Preference? I’ve copy/pasted results from my machine below.
