[GUIDE] How to turn off 4g/3g on VERIZON S3

I didnt see anything regarding this and i have been searching and searching how to get this done. Some might say turning 4g off on this phone ruins it. Personally I only use 4G when i need it. Otherwise i want to be on 3G to save battery and data usage.
Download:
Phone info
http://market.android.com/details?id=myc.phone.PhoneInfo
Share Apps http://goo.gl/8BGU3
Once app is installed, open app.
Select device info
For select cdma auto (PRL)
For 4g select LTE/cdma/EvDo
(Im om verizon btw. Not sure if this is only compatible with certain carriers))

I'm getting force closes when I choose one of the four options in the application.

Im on verizon. Maybe its only compatible with certain carriers? I havent had one FC

Did this let you force the phone to stay in 4g ?

This is a standard feature on US SGS3 - Settings/More Settings/Mobile Networks/Network Mode - then you can choose CDMA or LTE/CDMA.

This works on at&t as well?

For me, this app is less steps. I'm using nova launcher, so I just put the app on my screen and then edited the icon with the LTE onoff icon. now it is as if I never lost my LTEonoff, so I prefer this method.

if you are using nova launcher follow these steps:
open up google and seach for any icon you want.
Example
:keyword search: LTEonoff icon
-open in full view
-long press and save image
Open app drawer and long press on "phone info" app to get on screen you want.
-long press on the phone info app and "edit"
-tap on the icon that is shown. this will open up your images in your gallery. go to the downloaded LTEonoff icon. It will then promt you to size the icon. Just pull the boxes out to surround the image and press done. this will bring you back to the edit icon but with the new icon. press done and there you go! you can do this with ANY icon on your screen.

I am embarrassed to say I can't figure out how to turn off 4G on verizon's s3 yet. I can turn off internet but I don't see a place to just disable 4G but leave internet (3G) enabled.

Same. I think the option was removed. I really wish there was a way but I don't think there is.

Called verizon and was told to bring phone to store so they can flash back the option to turn off 4g only sinve jb update disabled it.
Its verizons way of probably gettin ppl off the 3g network....bastards

I use phone info all the time to switch to 3g. The option is still there in phone info. To turn 4g back on though you have to do it thru the phones settings, system settings > more settings > mobile networks > network mode. And pick global or lte/cdma
in phone info > device info....

[Xposed] - Enable Network Activity Indicators

I've made a small Xposed module that enables the network activity indicators on the wifi and mobile data icons in the status bar for the Motorola Moto X. Even though GravityBox provides this feature, it doesn't work for the Moto X due to differences in the SystemUI code.

It has been tested on the Moto X for T-Mobile, Verizon, and Republic Wireless. I don't see any reason why it wouldn't work on other model, but you never know. If anyone tests it on a different model, please report your results back to me.

Phone model? ROM? Other Xposed modules installed?
If you are running the AOSP Signal Icons Xposed module, this one will not work because they conflict. Although I don't think that would cause it not to install. Unfortunately I am not fluent in en espanol to easily find the source of your error.

Yea the error was before installing so I think is packet error or something. XT1053 KANGAKAT stock based t mobile 4.4.2 and yes I have aosp signal icons, gb, and a few more.

No need to post a screenshot. If GravityBox works for you, then there is no sense in using this mod. I don't have a Republic Wireless model to test on, but for the T-Mobile/GSM unlocked version GravityBox definitely does not work for this feature.

Just installed it but I didn't see any changes in the icon

Thanks for the clarification and for you contribution! I was not aware it didn't work on XT1053...

It probably won't work on anything but the stock rom, because it overrides specific things in the stock SystemUI. But if you are on a 3rd party rom, the feature in GravityBox probably will work.

It works, but not being able to use SignalIconsAOSP is a deal breaker.

You said you're running Kangkat, so you don't even need this mod. The option to enable network activity indicators in GravityBox should already work for you.

GravityBox indicators technically work for me on stock 4.4.4. but they are commonly laid over other status bar icons or have other icons cover them up making visibility poor, looking forward to testing this out. Thanks

I read they removed it from the status bar to save a bit of juice on the additional polling required to display connection state.
And yes, changing a Boolean value can have just about any effect depending on what that value drives.

Apparently not. And there are already many threads covering this topic, so performing a search is advised.

With Xposed and the latest version of Flat Style Indicators it is now possible to remove the carrier text from statusbar.

Just gave it a spin, nice app! Though I don't mind the way the status bar looks with the EMUI skin.
Interesting, it seems Huawei's skinned status bar can be disabled after all. When I uninstalled the module and saw that the status bar didn't revert to default automatically, I restarted System UI and got the stock Android status bar design. So I wonder where in the system this part of the EMUI skin can be turned off. The same should also be possible with the navigation bar and other things.
Hm, any developers around here that would like to give a shot at making EMUI 3.0 look and feel more like stock Android, both in terms of looks and functionality?

Doesn't seem to be working at all for me. Any tips?

Which ROM do you use? Did you unchecked the "Show Carrier" option in "Carrier" or did you try to remove it by editing a custom carrier text?

Did you activate the module in Xposed (check the box in "Modules") and reboot after you installed it? The module doesn't do anything per se to the Huawei notification bar, but instead completely re-skins it.

When I had honor 6 I was able to turn carrier off an on.. try ask ppl in Honor 6 thread if there is chance to implement it in mate 7...

small detail I'm surprised that they decided miss as little features such as carrier on/off or custom text is liked by many & really help sales & builds brand loyalty. bit more ROM polishing Huawei

Try the module shown in the image (flat style bar...)

Moto X Style Android 6.0 bugs

Firmware Indian
Build MPH24.49-18
Bugs so far
1. Play music in vlc. Let the phone lock, moto active display indicates vlc interactive icon.
Close and stop vlc. Let the phone lock and vlc icon still is displayed on active display lock screen. It even overrides default lock button.
Need to reboot
2. In storage and usb number of photos under internal storage is shown as 2.4GB. But in actual I had only free megs of space occupied. When I moved and deleted some pics, the calculation was correct.
Been using it for few hours, more updates later

The equaliser option seems to be missing or removed..

It's there is there if you go through the Google play music app. But it's probably a oversight for them to not have it in the normal settings

Moving status bar icons

I've a question about the interface. Unfortunately, I purchased after the bootloader unlock website was shut down, so installing a custom ROM, mod, or anything else that requires root will not be possible. I understand this may mean I'm SOL, but I want to make sure before giving up.
I've tried installing a couple different themes to no avail. I'm not sure if there's a setting I'm missing, or if this simply isn't possible, but any advice would be welcome regardless.
I'm specifically looking for two things:
Move the mobile/wifi signal icons to the right, next to the battery/clock
Remove the NFC icon without disabling NFC
Here is a screenshot to give an idea what I want to do:

That looks similar to Honor 10... Does it behave as if phone had a notch?
NFC icon can be hidden. I think I did that using SystemUI Tuner. You have to grant this app some permissions using ADB (see description on store) and then go to app - Status Bar - Auto Detect... Disable what you want. Some of the options don't work but NFC does. You might need to reboot.

Any solution yet?
