Is there a way to switch off 4g on the verizon SGIII and leave on the 3g to save some battery?
I don't want to turn off mobile data completely but i can't find how to turn off 4g like on the galaxy nexus.
I'm looking for the same feature as well. I haven't been able to find it yet. I've been having issues with the phone not having a data connection while on 4g. 3g works fine and i'd like to force it to drop from 4g to 3g.
I called VZW and their technicians were stumped that there was no way to disable the 4g radio in the settings. They were also confused as to why I get wifi notifications when the wifi is turned off (thanks verizon. I pay for unlimited data and i get nagged to use wifi).
if verizons is like sprints it eould be under settings-> more settings-> mobile networks and switch it from cdma/lte to cdma

yeah, i looked there, but the only options are LTE- verizon internet and EHRPD- verizon internet
does anyone know if the EHRPD is cdma only?

Use the app called Phone Info (free in the market) Open it and choose device settings. Scroll down and click in the box with the arrow in the lower right corner and select whatever reception you want.

so is it just "cdma only" that we want using the phone info program or something else? there's a ton of option in the drop down.

Switching back to 4G
Quick Question....I've used this app to bump my phone into 3G and it works great, but now I can't get it back to 4G. I'm with Verizon, and I've tried all of the LTE settings in the drop-down menu. How can I get my 4G back?

Argh....I flashed back to stock, and still no 4G. I even took the SIM card out for a few minutes and reseated it. This is frustrating. I checked my other phone, the trusty old Thunderbolt and it has 4G. I thought that there may have been an issue since we had heavy storms, but if that old clunker gets it, then the SG3 should. Also, mom came over with her Nexus and her 4G is working as well.

Called Verizon Tech Support (besides being upgraded to the 20GB Data Share plan), and there's something wonky with my SIM card. Need to go get a new one tomorrow. Oh well....I won't use that tool again.

Toggle to cdma prl in York LTE settings and reboot. If I have LTE set on I get 1x all the time. Not sure if its the real problem or fix but seems to work for me. I'm also in a 3g area.

Same issue here.
This morning I wake up, and my thunderbolt is stock on 1x. If I switch to 4G, it will do 4g, but back to CDMA only, and stuck on 1x. I have 4G at home, but leave it on 3G because I normally am at work with no 4G coverage.
I flashed the stock mr 2 rom just to confirm and used the official radio just to be safe. No change.
Googled around a bit and here is a fix that worked for me...
Dialer -> ##778# ->Call -> Edit -> 000000 -> modem settings ->Rev A
Switch to enable from eHRPD and then hit back once. Menu->Commit.
Solved for me, but I don't know if it has adverse effects...

This makes your phone use the "old" version of EvDO. Basically what all 3g phones that don't have 4g radios use. If your area doesn't have 4g, doing this change shouldn't effect you at all and might get you 3g if you are stuck in 1x.

You can in 3G with the Thunderbolt. I did it yesterday. I work in 4G but live in 3G, but this feature is what finally made me pick the TB over the Charge.
I started this morning with the 3G/4G toggle on 3G only, to save battery, and around lunch I switched 4G back on and it has been there since... I haven't had issues with 1X. Must be a regional thing.

Would be even cooler if it was a widget to do this.
But still, how does this save money? If you use the data you're gonna use it. Downloading an e-mail uses the same amount of data no matter how fast you get it.
I am curious though that if this helps save battery if you know you're in an area with spotty coverage...Maybe it won't be hunting for LTE when you know there is no LTE, which could save battery maybe?
I sill have poor performance inside my apartment. So weird. It says 4G and even 4G LTE sometimes but I don't have internet. I just turned on the WiFi ... but still, calls with static (though they work) and my wife never had these issues on her iPhone. Really disappointed but fortunately the issue goes away when I'm actually mobile. I wonder if I switch to a different setting if it will improve indoors or not. --edit-- THIS indoor setting, not all "indoors"
This does not work, guys. It didn't work on the GS2 either. It defaults back to an LTE option every single time. If you are in an HSPA area, you may THINK it is working because your connection remains HSPA, but I assure you that it is not working.
In an LTE area, I stay in LTE, no matter how many times I try to switch to HSPA using this method.
Just set up a HSPA APN and make that the default. Then you will only be on HSPA untill you change it back to the LTE APN

Those sneaky bastards. They are found a way to auto change it back to AT&T default for the GSM/WCDMA/LTE auto selection. No matter what I select it defaults back.
AT&T Got creative on restricting this phone those a**holes.
From my understanding the S4 chipset on the One X is integrated with LTE so there is a lot less power drain that other chipsets with LTE. It might not be possible to turn it off if they're both working on the same radio. Or even if you do manage to turn it off, there might not be as big of a battery performance boost as with other LTE devices.

that doesn't really help too much. what's your screen on time? i got around 3hrs yesterday. still calibrating my battery though. seems to be lasting me about a day (12hrs +/-) with LTE always on which is great imo.
Thanks to Shadrach in #verizons3 for helping put the final piece in this together.
So it's well known that after your first reboot you will lose your phone number and therefore lose your ability to send MMS. Here is how to solve it.
Update
http://review.cyanogenmod.com/#/c/21023/
When this update gets merged, you will be able to skip the part with phone info to get 4g back. I've tested and confirmed. I will be updating the post today with quicker steps. (and you can get it in invisiblek's newest build http://goo.im/devs/invisiblek/i535/r...tlies/testing/ (That's as of today, August 11th. Probably tomorrow you'll want to check http://goo.im/devs/invisiblek/i535/r...cial.nightlies )

Needed: Phone Info (Get it from the market). (Needed only if you're getting 3g instead of 4g when you do this)
1. Go into system settings->More...-> Mobile Networks -> CDMA Subscription. Change to NV.
2. Hit back button and then click airplane mode button on the menu. Wait for the connection disappear. Then uncheck airplane mode and wait for it to come back and give you an empty triangle for a connection
3. Go back to system settings->More...-> Mobile Networks -> CDMA Subscription. and change to RUIM. Repeat step 2 except you should actually have 3g or 4g now, depending on the build. If you have 3g then see below.
Using this method I can do the whole process in under a minute.
You may have lost data which is where phone info comes in. If you lost data:
1. Go to system settings->More...-> Mobile Networks. Change network mode to LTE/CDMA
2. exit out that menu and 3g should come back but either way go into phone info.
3. In phone info go to phone information then scroll down and change set preferred network type to either LTE/CDMA auto (PROL) or LTE/GSM/CDMA auto (PRL).
Data + MMS is now restored. Enjoy.
Addendum: For some people the reactivation screen comes on after they switch to NV. You can ignore it and hit the home button.
Can somebody confirm that is working, also thanks for this

okay... so i guess my first attempt at a reply to eaten by the webnarnians...
anyway, question is this:
in the cm10 thread it was suggested by many that 3g totally sucked in cm10 and that if you weren't in a 4g area you'd have major issues with data connection on 3g networks. does this fix resolve that problem as well then?
i've been holding off on cm10 because of the concern over lack of 3g. i'm not in a 4g region so it's 3g or nothing for me at the moment. i'd love to give cm10 a whirl but don't want to lose data.
thanks for the info!

The same thing happened on my non-rooted Verizon S3 after using Phone Info app. Verizon tech said my phone was defective. When I went into Best Buy, they started switching my phone to a new S3 and it still did it...found it was the sim card. After I got a new one, it's been working ever since.

Id say delete the phone info app or wait until it's updated to be compatible with jellybean. 3g is almost then same as lte anyways at least with my phone I almost always have a strong lte signal. The s4 chip in the gs3 was designed to be a power saver on lte compared to older chips

Ok, so if I delete the app is my phone still stuck in 3g mode somewhere in else in the phone then? I guess what I mean is does deleting app force the phone to run off the APN settings? And if this still doesn't work can I use the re-provision code ( *2767*3855#) that I saw earlier in the thread? Finally is there a way to simply check if my SIM card is screwed?
Update: 4/13
I was just able to figure it out and for the most part. The basic problem is that my network mode was stuck on GSM/WCDMA. Here is the solution:
1. go to settings/more.../mobile networks/network operators.
2. Once you click network operators, it should start searching automatically. If nothing comes up, then hit "search networks". FYI, sometimes, it decides to act wonky, so you'll have to exit out and come back in to get it to work. Eventually, it'll show you carriers in the area. Being an AT&T customer in Philadelphia. I saw three results. The first two were AT&T. The last one was T-Mobile. I don't think there is a difference in the AT&T options, but I just clicked the first one.
3. Once that's finished. Go back to the "mobile networks" menu and click on "network mode" and change your preferred network mode to LTE/GSM/CDMA.
4. The last step is change your APN. In the "mobile networks" menu, click on Access Point Names. Click on ATT LTE pta. Scroll to the bottom and click on APN Type. Change that to default,admin,fota,mms,supl,hip. Then hit okay. Hit File and Save. Then just select the circle next to ATT LTE pta. To be honest, just selecting ATT LTE PTA might be all that's necessary. You might not have to edit it.
Now, here's the catch. All of this stuff resets (with the exception of the edited APN) when you restart your phone. But it does work everytime.[/COLOR]
So, I just got the skyrocket (AT&T in Philadelphia) and have the 03-24 nightly on it. But for some reason, I can't get LTE to turn on. I've played with the different APN's. I've flashed the at&t radio on Chopstick's webpage, but no dice. I'm only getting H+.
I even called AT&T to make sure my data plan was LTE provisioned.
The only thing I can think of is that the ROM currently cannot change preferred network mode and mine is stuck on GSM/WCDMA preferred?
Please help.

What modem and APN are you using?
Re: LTE not working for me.
Use the latest one, I think the one on the chopsticks web page is old.

Which radio or baseband version is it?

How old is your SIM card?
When I got my Skyrocket, all network modes except LTE worked.
It ended up being an older version of a sim card that didn't support LTE.
Swapped out for a new one...no issues since.

I doubt that's the problem. I actually flashed back to Stock this morning and LTE worked great. I had speeds around 35mbps. However when I restored the backup of the CM10.1 rom, same issue. Only gettings H+ and speeds around 2mpbs.
THIS IS SO FRUSTRATING!!!! I don't get it. Am I really the only person with CM10.1 not getting LTE? It doesn't make any sense.

Yes you are the only one leading me to the conclusion of user error.

Would you kindly answer these questions so that I may ascertain whatever is it I'm doing wrong?
1. Are you using an AT&T Skyrocket? or is one from Rogers/others?
2. Are you using the official CM10.1? Which build?
3. What your baseband version?
4. What APN are you using?
5. In the mobile network settings/preferred network mode dialog in settings, what option is checked?
The only thing I can think of is that the preferred network mode for me is stuck on GSM/WCDMA preferred?

Good to know I'm not the only one. I think the issue comes down to preferred network mode.

Would you kindly just check your preferred network mode for me? In case you don't know, it's on settings/more/mobilenetworks/networkmode.
And just to confirm, you are getting LTE with the 4G Signal notifier, correct?

I sincerely apologize if any way my request came out rude. That was not my intention. I'm simply trying figure out why my ROM cannot get LTE?

Is that CM 10.1? Looks like AOKP. Also did you so something special to get the 2nd option? On my ROM, it won't allow me to change it from GSM/WCDMA
