Just a toss up question. I'm out near the L.A area and the LTE is lacking and I have only noticed it in one spot where I don't usually hang out. Is switching the phone into CDMA rather than LTE/CDMA going to save battery?
My experience, and the anecdotes I've heard, contradict that. I have noticed no appreciable loss of battery life by keeping it on LTE/CDMA/EVDO mode, and neither have other people either on here or XDA. I'd say to keep it in LTE mode since LTE is being rolled out in LA. It will probably reach the areas you frequent a lot sooner than you expect.

I have not noticed any difference in battery life either. I do wish people with issues like that would note of they are rooted and which ROM they are using if they are. It may be an issue with the specific ROM not set right leaving the LTE radio on all the time.
I am not rooted.
Damn auto correct. You always end up posting some thong you didn't Nintendo.
The bars on the display have no relation to 3g/4g signal strength. Only for voice/phone calls signals. So seeing the bars and relating it to data is a mistake.
