Wow. Well done!
I'll need this for my area (AT&T hates the NW)
I'm not thinking straight.... I'm not in an LTE area, which should I select?

The option without LTE
Will shutting down LTE make a difference if its not even available in my area?
idk with wifi on still, i still have 4g lte option, with data offline, i still have 4g icon but no data lol..
i dont think it even drains your battery regardless if your in lte or not
Mine won't let ne change it

There's like 1048204. But I figured it out.
Shame on all of you for discovering this !!! AT&T DOES not want LTE folks selecting HSPA+ when in an LTE area. They want to be able charge you more for data!!!
mine wont let me change it either to any option without LTE

This..........
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

Is there a HowTo on this?
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.
Whats the best app for resetting my network connection? Sometimes I have my 3G (white) which for whatever reason doesn't allow me to connect to the play store, google, internet, etc and the only way to fix it (turn it blue) is rebooting my phone. I've tried the fresh network app, it doesn't work. I am using Juice Defender Ultimate so maybe I have a setting screwed up but I read and reread the manual it seems like I have it configured the way I want.

Can't you just turn on airplane mode for a few seconds and then turn it off?

Afaik if ur 3g symbol is white, it means ur not fully connected to
the network. I have that somtimes too, but it only takes 1-5s, depending on signal strengh.

It seems when I'm in a different area and I get h/h+/3g that my battery drains more than when I'm at home using 4g? Why is that? Or am I just crazy...
It's probably because when you're out and about the phone is searching for a signal. That uses a lot of juice.

+1, when the phone is not on 4G (LTE) it is constantly looking for 4G, if you are able to change your radio mode to WCDMA via the CM settings (if you are on CM10) theoretically, it should not continue to search for 4G. I don't have the experience to see that this is the case (battery savings)
Oh so the culprit is searching not the signal itself! Ah well thanks guys! I appreciate it!
I've been trying these steps from another post but it won't work with slim bean

That depends on the radio. ATT radios are RAT locked so that doesn't work. Also USSD codes don't seem to work on AOSP based ROMs.
Thanks to csschmit I spelled it wrong but can't find the post.
I do the toggle from Settings > More > Mobile Networks > Network Mode and change it to GSM/WCDMA and it will force HSPA.
If that doesn't stick, and immediately switches back to LTE, click Network Operators and it may take a long time for the search to complete, if it completes and you don't see AT&T try again over and over until it does. Once you finally see AT&T, click it and it will say "Registered on Network" and the toggle will now work. Even the "use 2g to save battery" will work.
It takes a long time for me to get AT&T to show but you only have to do it once per reboot provided you don't toggle Airplane mode.

Thanks for info too! When you check 2G only, is that only edge? Do you get 3g,hspa,hspa+?
In other words what I'm asking is, should I even check the box for 2G? Where i live constantly changes from H toH+ to 4G. Rather just stick with H+ and lower and conserve that battery

2g is only edge, you will not get higher speeds when it is checked, and supposedly has the best power savings, you can always have data off until needed which would be the best battery saver
Hi guys I'm new here & I need some help here my problem is I have a Motorola RAZR HD
Sent from my XT925 using xda app-developers app
the problem is the WiFi icon is grey & is very difficult to put it on
Not sure if this will fix the problem since I have a slightly different phone (XT926) and I don't remember if my phone behaved as you described when it was having problems with wifi connectivity, but...
Try going into the wifi settings, click the menu (three vertical dots), select "advanced", then "WiFi frequency band" and select 2.4 GHz only.

What do you mean by WIFI ICON? Wifi switch in quick settings or Wifi signal icon?
Because there are problems with both these things.
Do you have internet access?
Please be more precise and then we can help you
So here is another one for you guys. I haven't seen anybody else talk about it on this forum yet. But every time I flash a ROM, even when it's meant for boost Mobile, I always get a roaming indicator off. It seams like I still have a data connection cause it shows 3g and such. But I'd it safe to keep doing it? Anyone have any idea what it could be?

what does it say under settings->wireless & networks More..->Mobile network settings
specifically:
->Network Mode?
I have mine on home only
->CDMA settings?
mine are all grayed out
->Roaming Guards?
none selected in mine
hope that helps.
Also adding on to this I just started using the official nightly from cyanogen and still got the indicator.
Preferred Network mode is global
System select is set to home only.
Cdma subscription is set to NV.
It's weird cause in not losing data connection but now I can't seam to download pics from MMS messages. Idk. Every build seams to do this.
