Do I want to be in Global mode, or CDMA/LTE mode? I'm in Orlando Fl if it matters.
My speedtest.net app indicates Global is faster, but I'm not sure about battery efficiency yet.
Thanks

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

Standby is energy used simply being connected to tower. This percentage sounds reasonable, depending on usage and signal strength.

Is there a way speed up my 3g I have full bars but very slow speed help please

It's 3G. Don't expect great speeds.
But there is an app called "Network Signal Booster" and if you are rooted there are some build.prop tweak available.
Use Google before you post please.

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.

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?
