Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think there is yet a widget that will toggle LTE on and off with one click. I'm not asking for one, I'm curious about what makes this difficult to do. I'm sure if it were a simple thing someone would have done it already.
There is one already. Don't know where it's at.

I don't know what u guys r talk n bout it absolutely is a toggle u can choose to: turn off radio completely or set to auto or 3g only or 3g/4g or 4g only or even 1x. It's pretty great. Much more than JUST info.

You are missing the keyword, WIDGET, as you can place it on your homescreen and toggle it without going into the settings.

There is one included on power widget add-on 4 virusROM but its only 4g on-off not 3g/4g n I couldn't get it to turn back on but must be a way. Definately turned off tho. Or do u mean for 3g/4g?
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App
I meant one that will toggle between 4G and 3G, I haven't seen a widget that will do a one touch switch between 4G and 3G.
I was wondering this too. Is there some limitation to it? Did htc not include an api to switch 4G on and off? I believe there's WIMAX 4G widgets and tasker can turn WIMAX 4G on and off, what's different about LTE? The fact that WIMAX is a wifi standard while LTE is is GSM and verizon 3G is cdma?

No they did not because there is no reason to.
Sprint uses 4G more like a hotspot. You enable it, it searches for a 4G signal then connects you to one. If it doesn't find one it gets re disabled.
On our phones, the phone is constantly searching for a 4G signal so when you go to a 3G zone from 4G it automatically switches. I understand you guys are probably worried about battery life which does take a hit from using this in that case you are kind of SOL until someone finds something.
Set your phone to CDMA Auto (PRL) seems to use less battery, and connects to LTE when available with no issues. Found that tip here in one of the forum posts. I'm rooted, but still running stock. Waiting for Inherits from Chingy.

I'm working on a widget for it. I found the file/java class it calls to you when switch between lte/auto (inside settings.apk after you decompile it). Just need to code a simple widget interface button for it and toggle between LTE and EVDO. I have finals this week, but at worse, I'll have time this weekend.
I've never made a widget before, but it gives me a chance to learn by making one that's useful. Learn by experience is the best kind of learning imho

Actually the Verizon Thunderbolt can do it currently. Its been something that has been making me think about jumping ship, though at those prices, I should buy a flip phone for when my Evo is online...
The thunderbolt can only do it on LTE and the phone has no toggle to turn LTE off unless its rooted

Don't think so. the way sprint is doing their voice+data will require a certain chipset on the phones that supports SVDO, which last I checked is NOT in the EVO3D nor the shift. The MDM9600 is the only one ive seen and confirmed to have this built in.
Also a lil note for people that are interested This post lays out some things for the future in sprint and are pretty reliable sources for those that do not know them.

Well people, after reading this thread I just had to put in my 2 cents about it. I live in a 3G area of upstate New York with NO 4G around me and can talk and surf on my Thunderbolt. That was the only reason I dropped the call dropping iPhone with at&t and swithed. I drive a truck "18 wheeler" and everywhere I have gone in the New England area that doesn't have 4G I have been able to do this.

No he's most definitely wrong. The Thunderbolt can do simultaneous voice and data on 3g in svdo enabled areas.
Talk and Surf on EVO and EVO 3D
The solution is not at all elegant and drain the battery pretty quickly.
What else is new here?
In any event, be it in 3G or 4G (irrelevant for 4G I guess):
1) activate the built-in hotspot (password protect it to prevent others taking
advantage of FREE Wifi draining your battery faster than Concord)
2) Activate the phone Wifi and connect to the newly created Wifi in Step 1
At this point, you should be able to talk and surf; an added bonus (already available thru the hotspot feature), is you're able to connect other devices to the Hotspot connection created in Step 1.
The new problem you will have now is to find yourself a lasting battery.
Does the EVO 3d and sense 3.0 have the same issue as the evo 4g where it doesn't display 1x and it always displays 3g?
Sometimes I notice that I have 5 bars of signal and it displays 3g but my speeds are like 1x speed.

Yes. It shows only 3G icon. I think the problem is in AndroidPolicy.jar, but could be wrong. A custom ROM will fix this issue.
I was wondering why I've never seen 1x. Saw it for 2 years on my Pre in crappy signal areas.
Yeah I remember using a custom ROM on the EVO 4G like cyanogen but you would think HTC would fix this by now in their sense launcher.

Haha, that might be true, but wouldnt that be like...not sure how to put it into proper terms....lieing to our faces.....basically saying regardless where you go, you are always on 3g.
The only time that I've seen it say 1x or something other than 3g is when it was roaming.
If course its a blatent move by Sprint to trick us. The irony is that 3G in most areas isn't much faster than 1x at the moment.

Use a signal widget to display your true mode at the given time.
There is a mod for the EVO that you can edit the phones file and make it display 1x when you do have 1x. Not sure if it will work with the 3vo but I know it works for other HTC phones besides the EVO, might be worth a try. I'll probably try it tomorrow and let you know. Heres the link

There already was in Froyo. Settings>Wireless and Network>Mobile Network>Select Network
If you want it more accessible, you can download Extended Controls from the Market and use a widget. One of the possible toggles is 2g>3g>4g toggle.

Just found this, figured it would help
1)Go to dialer
2)Dial *#*#4636#*#*
3)Select Phone Information
4)Scroll down and change preferred network type from "GSM auto (PRL)" to "GSM only"
To change back, just change the setting back to the GSM Audo. Bit of a PITA compared to Froyo, but it works as far as I can tell.

For some reason i could connect to LTE for about 30 seconds before my phone would revert to 3G. no matter how many times i updated prl or profile.
Solution: used Network from app store to switch from CDMA+LTE AUTO to LTE,CDMA. now getting lightning fast LTE all the time.
Nice.

Enhanced High Rate Packet Data (eHRPD). eHRPD is an enhancement of 1xEV-DO (AKA HRPD) that enables LTE to CDMA handover.
00mred00, do you know a way around this problem? I'm just not getting LTE if I don't change my network like this. Seems odd that we should have to do this at all. Is this a problem of the freshROM or a coverage problem or what?
Thanks for the intel.
It happens because sprint has flipped the switch early and less than half of lte towers are on and are still not fully powered up. The 3g signal is stronger (although slower) than the 4g.. Sprint has said that there lte isn't fully functional and that it's currently mostly for outdoor use

Weird thing that I have noticed is,
I have perfect LTE (25MBps up) when I run Stock Android 4.2. CyanogeMod 10.1
Any Sense Rom I run it has no LTE. When I select CDMA/LTE it won't connect to Data at all. When I select CDMA it will connect to 3G.
I hate it and have never found a fix for it. So I am stuck on 10.1 with not a lot of updates. Which is fine, but I like to switch back to Sense everyone once in a while and when I do I am forced to use only 3G.

No. Your 2G network which controls voice is roaming. However your phone has an established 4G network connection. Sort of like being on wifi and roaming. Your calls go through the 2G network while the data is being handled by your wifi/4G. Those signal bars are strictly for your 2G connection. 3G and 4G have their own connection which is not viewable unless you dig into ## settings from dial pad. Sprint don't have any 4G roaming agreements with any other carrier.
