Will I gain battery by disabling 4G on my phone? I'm in a 3G only area, and I'm not sure if its constantly polling for LTE. I'm using the logic of phones smoking a battery in a spotty coverage area. Thoughts?

So far I think there have only been positive reports for battery life for people who only have 3G coverage.
Some people on the 4G fringe needed to be able to turn 4G off because their phones were trying to pull the 4G signal, destroying their battery life. I am in a 4G area and don't notice any difference forcing 3G.
How can I turn off 4G

Hey quick question why can't i get HSPA + in a area i know has it? I get UMTS with 1.5mb down. That's pathetic. I am on cognition 4 with entropy kernel.
It shows a h+ icon but settings say UMTS

Umts max out around 300kbps.
So, you are already at HSDPA speed.
Whether or not you see higher speed depends on a lot of factors that are out of your control.

So the setting menu that says UMTS is on crack ?

Settings > mobile networks > roaming > sprint only
Thanks didn't realize that was a menu also. I thought it was only a switch. On or off.

For the uninitiated why would turning roaming to sprint only be beneficial? All roaming data costs me the same, right?

If you are rooted you can buy roam control and get a widget to do this.... It's not on the android market.
Sometimes I like to force sprint only even though the roam signal is stronger sprint data is faster than roaming data. I'm done playing with prls. They already killed one of my lines. This one was supposed to be shut off but I keep paying them and they keep me turned on. Even upgraded me to the LTE! Hahaha.

Is there a way to modify the wifi and mobile network polling rates? My phone dies like a dog at work due to no reception.
Thanks

Wi-Fi scan is a tweak in build.prop. There is a app called .prop tweaker or editor I believe.
Idk about network though

Whenever I'm in a poor signal area I just turn off mobile data and wifi. That way you don't have to worry about your radio constantly searching for better signals when your not even using it.

Yea just turn off data and WiFi. I saved HUGE amounts of battery doing that in bad signal area

I just turn my phone off completely. Great battery life, and I never have to worry about it searching for signal. Bonus: with all the new kernels popping up, when my phone is turned off it sleeps like a sloth.
Try it out!
Appreciate the replies but i use offline apps all day so i can't power down.
Anyone else know?

Is there a way to fix the LTE connect and drop issue. Like the qpst dialer settings

No idea but. Does it do it on aosp roms also? Thought it might be the sprint connection DE-optimizer.
I hardly ever see LTE on aosp. I seen it a good bit on sense though.

Sense or aosp. Doesn't matter it connects for 1 min the boots me off

yikes
Htc's crappy evo lte radios combined with sprints turdish network. Throw in sprints connection de-optimizer. What a trio!
I don't know if this will help but I am running a cm 10.1 rom and if I set my data to LTE only i transfer data fine. However I can not receive phone calls.
My phone goes from gsm G, gsm 2G, and wcdma umts 4g, where and why is 3g gone

This is a serious questIon...I'm a truck driver and traveled all 48states with this phone and I have never seen 3g service...2g isn't fast enough on tmobile between cities to listen to Google radio unfortunately

go to mobile networks & select WCDMA preferred

I have T-Mobile pre paid in Virginia. The first 500 mg are 4g. Then it continues after the 500 to say 4g but when I checked an app it said "T-Mobile 2g". They really do **** us
