This is confirmed working on Honor 8S. Not sure if all Honor phones allow this. 1) First of all you need to install an app called Settings Database Editor which is freely available in Google Play store. It's only 300k filesize.

2) Open up the app when installed and go to system table menu which is the first one available.

3) If you scroll down the list you will see an option called hw_networkmode_preference. Click on it and edit value to 11 as shown in screenshot and save. Restart your phone by holding down power button and restart.

4) Go to settings, wireless & network and then choose network. You will see in list preferred network mode. By default it will be 4G/3G/2G meaning your network can use any of these depending on network signal. Click on network mode and instead of default list of 4G/3G/2G, 3G, 2G you will have a completely new list as shown in screenshot. Now you can choose LTE only or if you prefer LTE/WDMA.

This will help you keep stable 4G connection at all times.

Hope this helps!
