Hidden menu?

Is there a hidden menu for the glide? I want to try to disable 4g cuz its killin my battery

Are you running the Inc3ption rom?
To turn it off, you have to go to Settings > Wireless and Networks > Mobile Network > Uncheck use packet data. But you can get an app which allows you to control when the data is on or off and put a widget on the homescreen so you can turn it off/on asap instead of going through the method I gave you.

Runnin stock... i just wanna turn 4g off but have 3g on.. im on straight talk and ithink ots killin my battery cuz its sayin 97% without signal

Captivate glide doesn't have 4g.. It only has 3.5g. You can't go down to 3g manually.

3.9G or 3G++ if you want to be accurate. But it doesn't matter, and I imagine he would want Edge to save more battery.
But I remember reading that it was not possible on the AT&T ROM. I think disabling sync when you don't need it could help a little.

you can try:
- open dialer
- dial *#*#4636#*#*
- tap Phone Information
- scroll down to "Set preferred network type" (or similar)
- tap drop down and select "GSM only" or "GSM auto" if you want EDGE
oh one more thing, I have no idea if this persist upon reboot....sorry

I have the Rogers stock and I select 2G from the Settings -> Wireless and Network -> Mobile Networks -> Network Mode -> GSM only
This allows me at work to only use Edge as I have crappy reception at work and it keeps alternating from 2G to 4g (what the phone shows on top middle) Now I simply see an E and battery life is much better. I switch it when I leave work back to (GSM/HSPA(Auto mode)
You mentioned a widget that can do this from the home screen??? This I would like.

Samsung website says it a 4g phone???

^^^^^^
It is just 3.75G and NOT real 4G... Further in AT&T stock ROM, there is NO way to disable 3G/HSPA or set 2G only... Even the *#*#4636#*#* method is NOT working, as I have tried that too...
Just flash the ROGER's ROM or any other Custom ROM here (Rooted_Rogers_stock, Osimood, inc3ption, etc) and you can select HSPA only (for fast data on good 3G coverage) or GSM only (to save battery in spotty 3G coverage area) and Auto mode also...
Further I use one app which stays in Notification bar showing current network and on clicking it, the above-said option will be shown (otherwise you have to goto Settings-->Wireless & Network-->Mobile Networks) and you can also enable/disable data on that same page... The app is called "Show and Switch 2G/3G" and its available in Google Play Store --> here....

It's actually 3.623G if you want to be precise.
;-)
Actually compared to LTE speeds it's downright slow. But it's more than enough for most people.
Faster speeds just means you hit your data cap sooner....

Turn off 3G but keep 4G/LTE enabled?

I'm running stock ICS on a VZW Galaxy Nexus. Is there any way to keep 4G/LTE enabled but turn off 3G?
I ask because I often tether my computer at work, but there is a weak LTE signal at my workplace, and a strong 3G signal (they may even have VZW 3G repeaters in the building) and I always end up getting 3G speeds. I've tried a few app from the market "LTE onoff", "3g/4g on/off" and some others but none seem to have an LTE only option. I haven't rooted my phone yet, but would be open to rooting if there is a root only option for this. Would be awesome if someone could help!

There's app called switch pro widgets ($1) and it didn't allow you to toggle the 4g and anything else you want to adjust.

no. the 3g signal is your voice service.

*#*#4636#*#*
Then phone info > LTE Only.
Do note LTE is data only, no voice.

Where did my 4G go!

GS3 doent have a 4g "toggle" as you say...but you can make sure its enabled
settings-->more settings-->Mobile Network-->Network mode.
Preferred network mode should be set to "CDMA/LTE/EVDO"
If you have "CDMA/LTE/EVDO" enabled, anytime your in a Sprint LTE area your phone icon will switch from 3g to 4g.

doesn't it chew up more battery?

it shouldnt chew up ure bttery at all, as all it does is search the network for 4gLTE and if it doesnt find it, it will automaticly go to sleep and try again like 2 or 3 hours later or periodically as it tells u. .however u do need to have sprint automatic connention left on in order for that work. atleast thats what i got from reading the sprint connection optimizer information it gave me.

The optimizer isn't for the LTE. I hate that garbage so I always leave it off. As long as your preferred network is set as stated above, it will automatically switch between them. Side note though, it may switch back to 3g if you don't have a very strong 4 g signal. It likes to be weird.

Sounds like your thinking of a wimax phone. I I had a Motorola Photon and you had to physically turn 4g on and off on it.... I think most wimax 4g phones are that way.
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app

Do any of the custom ROMS have a toggle for 4g/3g? I live in a 4g area but sometimes the signal isn't strong enough so it goes to 3g. Quite annoying. It would be great to toggle 3g off and force 4g.

So I had s2 before s3, so I assume the s2 was a 4 -g wimax? It had a toggle widget.

Have you tried updating to the new radio? I believe they boosted the power to give slightly better LTE connectivity in those kinds of environments.

There is a way to force LTE on the GS3. I did it with mine so that I could map out the LTE zones with sensorly a bit easier while I was driving over the weekend. The way I was able to do this is you need to have Nova Launcher downloaded and installed.
Once you do this, long press on the home screen and go to "Shortcuts".
Next click on "Activities"
Next scroll down to "IOTHiddenMenu"
Then scroll down and click on "IOTHiddenMenu : HDR1X_Selection"
Doing this will allow you to force LTE only mode. Keep in mind you WILL NOT be able to make any phone calls while doing this. For some reason the GS3 requires the phone to be in LTE + CDMA + EVDO Mode to make calls even if you have a very strong LTE signal.
Another app I would recommend downloading is called OpenSignalMaps. Once you have the LTE only mode turned on or even the normal LTE + CDMA mode, you can use this app to refresh your network by clicking the little refresh button at the bottom left of the app in the Overview tab. What this does is pretty much turn your phones mobile networks on and off and then scan for LTE first before scanning for EVDO. I have been able to connect to many more LTE sites by doing this. Even ones that are fairly far away.
Hope this all helps. Let me know if you have any extra questions.

No data connection at all
I have the settings on GSM/HSPA/LTE, but lost data connection completely. Tried to restart and turned on/off flight mode - still no data. Voice in and out is OK. I finally managed to reconnect by repeating the process. Is there a better way to reconnect?
Thanks.

Check out "Network"

with the latest l13 radio my phone will not stay on 4g it is heavily biased to 3g and I do not know how to fix it. I am right next to the 4g towers.. ... any thoughts? Thanks

Thanks
Thanks. Unfortunately, the "Network" app would not run. So I followed a similar line, and found "3G Reconnect". It does not fix the connection issue. Any other thoughts?

No data with 3G?

Anyone else have this problem with T-Mo Note2? I get no data with 3G and lower! 4G runs great... but 3G, 2G, Edge, ect acts as if no data is flowing. Normally I wouldn't care since 4G is super fast, but the towers are rare around here so I'm connected to a 3G tower more often.

Yeah that sucks lol!! Thats happend to me too and i don find a soluyion yet

Make sure your cell is set to auto in the *#2263# menu or whatever that code is. Youll have to ask around. I don't remember where to find that setting.
Guys where is that setting to set the cell mode?

Just go to settings > wireless and network > more settings > mobile networks > network mode ... auto

Network is set to auto. The phone connects to 3G towers (the statusbar 3G icon shows up with bars), and it does often, but there is no data flow. As soon as 4G (H+ icon) is available, the data sends/receives super fast.

3G/4G Toggle?

Hey Guys,
Wondering if there's a toggle available for the phone that will allow me to go from 4G-->3G-->4G.
Thanks!

I use the 'lte onoff for thunderbolt". Even though it says it's for thunderbolt it Works like a charm for the One. I select "CDMA auto prl" to use strictly 3g and then "LTE, CDMA" to go back to 4G/3G
Don't mess with any of the other settings and you're golden

I can see using this if you're in a bad 4G area, but if you have good 4G signal this will not help your battery life... I've found the newer phones out now work a lot better at battery consumption compared to the older 1st gen 4G phones.

Yes the lte onoff app is in the play store. Just search "lte onoff" and it should be the first option by "cunning logic"
