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.

What about non root phones is there any solution for them?

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.

Is there any 2G 3G switcher app for g3 .... Most of the apps in maket just take you to the setting menu where non Samsung / galaxy phones can choose between 2g and 3g.. but since we dont have that option is there a work arnd, ??? i baiscally want to be in 2g mode till i unlock the phone.... no point paying for data and losing battery at the same time....
You could use tasker to automate this. It is not free, but worth every cent. I for example use tasker to switch to 2g when screen is off and to 3g when its on. Due to some problems with cm7 on sgs it takes some seconds, but i am pretty sure it works well on g3

You can also install extended controls from the market. It's an app to make a widget with much toggles. Wifi on/off, 3g/2g switcher, gps,...

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.

phone setup:
i9100
android ver 4.0.3
baseband i9100mugld3
cf rooted
This may sound like a crazy question but there are 2 locations i'm at a lot that have 0 to 1 bars of 3g and an edge tower right on top of them. Anyway for some reason the phone almost always wants to grab onto the 3g and it is a horrible connection for both voice and data. I have wireless there so i really don't care about data but dropping calls sucks. Is there an app, solution, workaround to forcing the phone onto the cel tower i want to use instead of letting it decide to do the wrong thing?
thanks
Have you tried just turning off mobile data in settings?

Settings > Wireless & Network > More > Mobile Network > Network mode > select GSM only and it will only use the gprs connection. If you dont want to use the GPRS connection then uncheck the " Use Packet Data Option ".
I've actually tried that while it disables data it doesn't force a switch on the tower. I guess my title & original question isn't quite right.
so now i guess how do i force my phone onto a different tower so i can actually get good service when i need it.
I just use the switchpro widget, since then i can turn on and off a lot of stuff from my homescreen.

Under mobile network settings, change it from auto mode to gsm only. I guess this is what you are looking for

actually i was just about to post the gsm/wcdma/auto to get it to switch over. However it does not always work sadly. I remember on an old moto (forget model) that i could actually choose a network tower, man i wish i could do that now

It perfectly works for me. If i set gsm only, it stays on edge and if i set wcdma only, it stays on H+ for me.
sorry should have been more specific again. it will go to edge but will often decide to pick a tower far away instead of a close one
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

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.
