Anyone know how to toggle 3g now? I would like to use it as default and only enable LTE when needed because the battery drain is crazy for LTE. However, as we all known, the dropdown 3g toggle is not there. I see an access point menu but whenever I select EHRPD the phone remains on 4G. Is there a way to get the EHRPD selection to "stick" or is there another way to solve this?

depends on what your running, and what provider you have. Most cases can be fixed with a LTE toggle app from the market. This doesn't work with Verizon on stock rom (last time I checked). However, I have Verizon with Note II running liquidsmooth android 4.2.2, and for me it's as simple as setting CDMA/EVDO under settings > wireless & networks > More... > mobile networks > network mode

Okay. I am using Jelly'Beans' rom for Verizon's Note II. But the toggle for CDMA is removed in there. So should I ask for it in that thread?

I am using the same rom, and would love to have this functionality as 3G works better at my work than 4G.

Found the old phone info app online and that took care of the issue. The new phone info app on the market does not have the capability to set network modes.

Phone is stock from at&t
android version 2.3.6
baseband version I777UCKK6
kernel version 2.6.35.7
Need to know what firmware you running and what else you have done to your phone.
Do you mean UMTS/HSPA vs. 2G?
AT&T has been a big fan of removing the ability to control that lately.
Phone is stock i just got it. I am looking for option to see GSM/3G (auto mode) etc

If you want 2g just use 3gb worth of data.

From my understanding the NFC chip is build in the battery and not the phone motherboard? ...this is sux if you buy an after market battery with no NFC chip.
The box said is 4G capable but I don't see any toggle for it.
Yes the battery is the NFC antenna, hopefully some third party manufactures will take the hint and go forward with some options for that.
To check 4g options on Sprint you have to go to settings, more settings, mobile networks, network mode. I'm sure other carriers are something similar.

I have a question... is there a switecher or something between 2g, 3g, 4g etc? I mean is there possibility to turn on only 2g mode to less battery consumption or sth like that?
Sent from the future
there is an unofficial way.
Dial ##3282# and it will open up a field test mode. Click on the three dots at the bottom and then go to settings. You can then set your Network type to what you prefer from automatic. To make it stick, turn Toggle ENS (reboot required) to Off. Back out of Field Test and then turn off/turn on your phone.
PROTIP: Add ##3282# as a contact and pin it to the screen for easy access.
I thought that it's little easier, i mean without phone restarts etc, but ok, thanks for advice.

Supposedly the carriers required that the switch be removed.

Under Settings->Cellular, there is an option to set "Highest Connection Speed". Options are LTE, 3G and 2G. Would that not work for you?

I can't check this because i dont have this phone right now. Im going to buy it but i read that battery consumption is quite big so i decided to ask you about network switcher, because it can save a lot of energy

I tried posting an answer in the beanstalk thread but got denied as I am a new member.
I had issues connecting to 4G using the Beanstalk 4.4.285 Uber kernel where I could not get LTE and when I went into mobile settings and clicked network type the only option I would see is 3G or 2G. If you have this issue as well (I noticed others have) I have posted a simple solution below.
I did two things to fix this issue in the phone settings.
1. Get into phone settings by typing "*#*#4636#*#*".
2. Click phone settings and change the network type near the bottom (mine was set to WCDMA Only) to the network type you prefer (I changed mine to LTE/GSM/CDMA AUTO).
3. I doubt this last thing is necessary but I changed it anyways which is click the menu items in the top right corner. Click select band and change it from auto to your band type (in my case it is USA).
Hope this helps!

Galaxy S 4G doesn't support LTE, it basically has HSDPA and HSDPA+ the best setting is to have it set on auto gsm/wcdma. You may want to update the apn since i think the default runs on metropcs apn. Beanstalk 4.4.4 will be out within the next few days. Check this url to look for roms from me:
thinkotbs dot com slash tombell
I compiled slimkat, which is also on that site.... which credits go to DJL for whipping that up. any suggestions i may be making carbon rom too.
err my bad i thought this was sgh-t959v forum

Hello,
I want to turn off the 4.5G network, but want to i use a 4G network.
4G+ consumes too much power and battery draining so fast.
How do I turn off the 4.5G network?
I searched a lot but I couldn't find the answer.
Thanks in advance.

Maybe this working,, download "set edit(settings database editor)" from market then open it,, look for this line " hw_networkmode_preference" then click on this line then choose "edit value" clear all then put 11 and reboot,, after that from settings > mobile data > preferred network mode and you will see more options, maybe this help..
Important :
Before you edit anything or that line take screen shot first from the old values ,, In case you like to go back to it.. and don't edit anythings else,,
I think you cannot turn it off 4G+ and maintain 4G only. It is related to the network.
You can't disable 4G+ but you can choose and lock a specific 4G band. You need to root your device for that. In Qualcomm smartphones you can download "Network Signal Guru" app from Play Store then give root permission to lock a band and get rid of 4G Plus.
Please turn off my 4G Plus
There is a app Samsung Band Selection. I was able to block LTE+. But only for Samsung I think, try. I'm probably EM lte+ sensitive. I feel like burning in fingers when lte+ is on...

Bro the drawback is that the app should be kept running is not there any permanent solution or other setting without keeping the app running in background

You don't need to keep that app, you can uninstall it after the locking procedure.

There's no solution for non rooted Qualcomm based smartphones. Some smartphones based on MediaTek & old Samsung smartphones used to support band lock without root.
