Really? Because I read about all the carriers being over capacity on 3G all the time.

Thank you very much, so glad you guys posted this. Battery life is incredible now just from shutting off LTE! (and that phone doesn’t feel as hot lol)

Good post – I installed the Phone Info and will go through a couple of charge cycles (new phone) to see if my battery life improves. I am on the first cycle and battery is down to 35% in 9 hours. No calls. Just a lot of tinkering around. Wifi On, 4G on, etc.

This is great news. Thanks a LOT. I’m working late trying to listen to the Reds game and the building has an internal VZW 3G antenna but for some reason, my phone decides it want’s to stay on the faint 4G and kept cutting out…now I have a full 5 bars of 3G.

ShowServiceMode from the market (or get the free beta version from the dev web site)
https://github.com/jakenjarvis/ShowServiceMode-For-Galaxy-LTE/downloads

makes turning LTE on and off eaiser. and keeps it off until u enable it or reboot. unlike PhoneInfo where it gets re-activated as soon as u disconnect and reconnect mobile data.

The default one is “LTE/CDMA/EvDo”

What was the default “set preferred network type” before I switched it to CDMA auto (PRL). I read the above article but he says probably. Anyone have a more confident answer?
