Turn off LTE 4G on GN?

[Spacemaker24]

I guess I forget that not everyone lives in a 4G area. Since I live in 4G area there's no way I'll be turning the 4G off to save the battery.

I wondered the same thing when I see people post about 4G and 3G switching back in forth on their phones (any 4G LTE phone). I had the same problem when I first got my 4G LTE Mifi and it drove me crazy!! Well on the Mifi you can make it 4G only and that solved the problem But my understanding with the phones is the voice data in CDMA only, so you can't turn the 3G off. Now I don't own a 4G LTE phone so I'm not 100% sure, but I did read that somewhere on here in another phone sec.

Well I am confused most of the time anyway....but. with my OG 3G droid when I am at home I use Wifi. The 3G data seems to never be used even for voice. I think the 3 and 4 G apply to data only. When I make a phone call it seems that I am using 1x or not even 3G but I am not sure.

For anyone who has turned off the 4G, are you able to connect to web with the 3G? I just bought daughter a phone (it was free as an upgrade, so "bought" is really the wrong word...) that has 4G. Works amazing in area that has it (the Radio Shack where I got it....about 2 miles from house...) but not in the house. We turned it off to connect to home wi-fi (she isn't on unlimited data...) so she could use You Tube.

Phone kept dropping connection. Wasn't the connection, ad my OG Droid was connected fine.

Any one seeing this or have suggestions?

3G stays on when you turn 4G off, but you have to make sure you don't turn all data off by accident. WiFi is totally separate from either and all mobile data should turn off when you're on WiFi.

Not as of yet. Its CDMA only or CDMA/LTE for existing devices.

Voice is accomplished over CDMA so if you turned it off... No voice or text.

I should have been using CDMA instead of saying 3G. Pretty sure the 3G and 1x is the same CDMA, will go to 1x when the signal is not good.
