I like to turn off 4g. Because I want longer battery life?
Is there any 4g switch app available?
Thanks
Yes, dial *#*#4636#*#* and select Phone Info, then Select CDMA Auto PRL.
*#*#(INFO)#*#*
LTE wont look for a signal anymore.
To Re-Enable LTE, Dial *#*#4636#*#*, Phone Info, CDMA + LTE
*#*#(INFO)#*#*
i cant believe it's not a built-in toggle widget like gps and wifi...i swear I saw one on the Evo..

Thats cuz there is one on the Evo. Maybe we'll get one in a future update. No worries, someone will make an app.
beautiful widgets has a 4g toggle widget, but it pops up with a warning that it's only for 4g wimax phones...not sure if it'll work or not for us, and i'm not in a 4g area.
Download Any Cut from the market. Create new shortcut, scroll down to Phone Info and it will make shortcut to the screen where you can go to cdma auto, which will stop LTE from running

download app in market called "network mangelow"
3G - CDMA auto (PRL)
4G - CDMA + LTE/EvDo auto
I switched LTE off, looking forward to see battery improvements tomorrow since 4G isn't in my area yet.
tell me how much of an improvement it is
There is absolutely no question of the improvement. If the 4G radio doesnt have to keep searching for a signal that is not even there, of course its going to save your battery.

im using this app and it works great. what i did was make a widget with minimalistic text and have it open this app.
Yup, Im using this too. Works perfectly. Its called "Network" in your apps list. No 4G at work yet so I make the switch at least twice a day, this helps.
What I find is that I have to switch to airplane mode to get it back into 4G though, anyone else..
Tried the app. Just bootlooped :/. Not sure if i'll try it agian. I might wait for a more direct app

whats the difference on these three?
3G CDMA auto
3G CDMA only
3G Evdo only
I use Phone Info by [email protected] Can't post links yet, but it's in the market. Small app, saves a lot of typing to get to the menu.

You may also use any app to manage the APN
i use this one https://market.android.com/details?id=com.curvefish.widgets.apnonoff&feature=search_result
...or if you just wanna turn the data off you can go into settings, wireless and network, mobile network, and uncheck mobile data

thx..everyone..i got it now
When I goto *#*#4636#*#* I have cs/ps. Which just means calls and data. Which disables 3g. Seems my thrill doesnt have the option
After trying searching today countless apps and signal booster apps i finally found one that worked. I tried Viaero Toggle app from the play store and now have a constant 4g signal. I have tested 2 methods on the app. Tried a method setting my preferred network to just LTE and CDMA/LTE. Setting it to just LTE works except you have an X over your signal bars, CDMA/LTE doesnt.
1. Download the Viaero toggle app
2. Select phone information
3. Scroll down where it says preferred network
4. Select LTE or LTE/CDMA
This is for people who KNOW their supposed to have an LTE connection. I used to own a GS3 and had a constant LTE signal. Switching to the ONE my LTE constantly jumps from LTE to 3G which was my biggest gripe. Now I'm in love with my ONE all over again. So if you know you have this issue. This will help trust me.
Let me know your results. I really want to work for everyone because this has been pissing me off for the longest. I had even switched out for a second HTC one and they both had signal issues. If it doesnt help let me know and we can try other methods for different people.
The 2 pics i attached is one with just LTE and the other is LTE/CDMA
You know that X over the signal bars mean you no longer have a voice connection right? Kind of defeats the purpose of a phone

The better way of doing this would be to use the ##DATA# shortcut (provided you have your MSL), but you certainly can do this.

Not if you only use VOiP, but I don't disagree.

If you just want to use WiFi tether purposes. You can. That's also why I gave the cdma/ltd option as well.

Thanks for the shortcut since I keep forgetting it. I just gave it a try. I was able to switch to CDMA LTE only and my LTE switched back on from 3G almost instantly. Sweet! Looks like I'll be using this feature quite often. :thumbup:

I got nothin'
Neither the App nor the menu has provided 4G / LTE. Funny thing is that on 4.3 ROM's I don't get LTE, but 4.2 and lower it's a non-issue. Any ideas?
Funny thing is I have no APN's. When I try to manually add them they don't save.

I normally set it to WCDMA only but after a while it automatically switches to WCDMA preferred which results in a loss of data and the Roaming symbol. Any way i can set it permanently to WCDMA only? I'm in India btw...

Who uses their phone for talking? What is this 2005?
Yup, i set it to WCDMA only but for some weird reason it switches back to WCDMA preferred after a while. I do it using the same method you've described.
If I set my phone to lte cdma it goes to gsm as my days connection. Am I missing something here? Thanks

The forum you're posting in right now is the Sprint HTC One M7 forum. You have the M8, therefore go to the Sprint HTC One M8 forum.
With the 4636 menu what setting should I be choosing to stay in 4G? I'm in Chicago and I have terrible 4G to 3G handoffs all the time.

I would like my phone to be connected to 3g all the time in order to save battery... Is there any way to do this? Changing to gsm, CDMA in network settings still gives me hspa.
Thnx

HSPA is still 3G. If you want you can select to use GSM only and you will only get EDGE connectivity.
Dial *#*#4636#*#* , go to phone information, and there's a dropdown which by default says WCDMA preferred. Switch that to whatever else you need. Also, remember that this setting does not stick after reboot so you need to reset it to your preference each time after you reboot your phone.
Misread, sorry.
I have a nexus 6 running pure nexus on the T-Mobile network.. I have severe data connection issues where I have moved. I can get LTE but if not careful it will drop to Edge or G.
Once it drops I have to reboot and fight with it to get LTE back.
Anyone know of a root app or way to force LTE only? Edge and G are worthless and will not load anything at all.

Not on T-Mo- if I try "LTE only", I cant make/receive calls. Is that normal?
I'm on tmobile, and use lte only often. and can make/receive calls. you can't only if tmobile doest have volte in your area or if you didn't enable enhanced 4G lte mode in main settings, more, cellular networks..
