A friend of mine just got the revolution. He is brand new to any smartphones. I searched on here but came up with endless threads that didn't answer my question. His battery life isn't that great. We both work 12hr days without being able to charge the phone all the time. So I had him turn off various functions like Bluetooth and gps. Is there a way to turn off 4G? I can on my EVO but didn't see an option on his phone. Thanks

That should do it...

Maybe i'm just a bit off topic but I use a combination of apps to get great battery life.
1. (Watchdog) keeps track of data hogging apps and allows you to decide how it alerts you and what to do with those apps.
2. (AutomateIt Pro) lets you set rules to decide what apps and services are active and when along with countless other options.

Both can be found in Android Market with far better explanations on how they work...

Good, thanks!
Does anyone recall the setup codes like ###956### etc in order to enter a menu to change network settings like constantly lock on 4g etc
I believe the code you're looking for is *#*#4636#*#*

Not sure that works in ICS -- this app does it very well, however --
*#*#4636#*#* still works on ICS

To create new APN go into settings, and under wireless settings/mobile networks you shall see the option for mobile networks. then you shall see the access point names. open that tab and then press menu key to enter apn settings. which you need to find out from your carrier.
but it usually is ppinternet under option APN and everything else left default.
OF course different carriers have different set up. if all else fails you could always call up customer support. that works well.

Replacing the efs folder is for restoring EMEI. If you've lost your APN, it's easier to just go in and enter it again. Use google to find the correct input for your carrier.
I actually got it restored by going back to ics

Back up your apns with apn back up and restore or just simply screenshots of it then you can enter them manually in case you lose them while flashing roms .

Download the app Phone Info from the Play Store, it works as a replacement to it. Works 100%

its only shows the info not change anything in radio settings though
So, you can't force the phone to go into WCDMA only mode with the app?
Update: I tried forcing it and it is working so it is certainly more than just an info app. Or did you mean something else?
Of course you can tinker with the settings, I used it to disable 4G LTE

How did you disable LTE? I try switching to 3G or EDGE and it goes back to automatic
It works fine for me, the 4G logo remains but 4G stays disabled. I set it to WCDMA only and it stays that way.

If you have ATT, you need to switch it to GSM only

That trick (*#*#4636#*#* ) is still in some official support notes but may no longer work, perhaps due to a JB update or provider chicanery, and on my phone Power Toggles only invokes a native configuration screen in which network settings is greyed out .
I've been using "LTE Setting" by Ryo Ueshima to force 4G without LTE. In spite of having been designed for the Sony Xperia, on my AT&T Atrix HD the "LTE Setting" app successfully forces the setting until phone is next powered off (not sleep, actually powered off) like so:
Within the app under "Set prefered network type"
- Select "WCDMA only" to use 4G (HSDPA) without LTE. Phone shows 4G icon without the LTE icon.
or
- Select "GSM only" to use Edge (LOL and to hear some nostalgic interference in nearby speakers). Phone shows E icon for Edge.
- The default for this setting on my phone/provider combination is LTE/GSM/WCDMA. Phone shows 4G and LTE icons. This state is restored if the phone is powered off/on and I wont mess with any other settings in this app.
I don't know of this will work for providers other than AT&T but has worked like a charm for me while AT&T updates software for Lucent switches in their towers in an attempt to fix an LTE specific issue where phones are not properly being switched to the phone-call state by a service called Modem FastDormancy Monitor Service (the service resides on the phone but problem invoking it is in the towers). Coincidentally the aforementioned update to the towers was applied just days ago and today is the first day that I haven't needed to force 4G without LTE in order to prevent missed calls. This settings force also has battery conservation application and may help maintain more reliable service when when mobile in some instances.

Tweak the build.prop to use WCDMA only. Don't have the value off hand...you're a 3 year xda member...longer than me...you should be able to find it. Might have to do a factory reset to make that setting stick. Titanium Backup Pro batch comes in handy for doing build.prop mods.
Cleaning up old threads and found this. Late though it is, why not add; If you use Nova Launcher you can create a shortcut to an "Activity" named "Phone Info" which invokes the same settings panel.
On my S5 Active it seemed to have auto-chosen GPS location for "My Places- Home", but I want it to use WiFi rather than GPS. I cannot seem to change this... Any ideas?
Thanks in advance,

Anyone have any ideas?

You can change this in Settings > Location > My Places > Home. Select Wi-Fi, and choose your home's network SSID
I can set it there, but not change it
