Turn off LTE? Battery drain.

[Tami Harris1]

Can anyone tell me if there is a way to turn off the LTE signal on the S6? I live in a rural area where constant back and forth of 3g to 4G LTE drains my battery. As in lost 30% of battery on standby on the night stand over night. This is the first Android phone I have owned. I flipped a simple toggle switch on iphones in the past which fixed the problem. Any advice would be appreciated. Service provided by AT&T. Thanks.

1. what carrier are you with? where is rural?
2. did you try - Settings-->More-->Cellular Networks-->Preferred Network Type

AT&T - Arkansas. It's all rural here. Lol
The settings options aren't as you describe on my phone. I feel like maybe that is the layout of the older galaxy phones, but something that changed with the S6 as i have read that suggestion elsewhere. The closest thing I have is "mobile networks" but when I click in that the options don't help. I have screens shots but can't figure out how to post them here.

You can turn it off by looking under Data Usage and you can find a switch in there to turn Mobile Data on or off.

Settings-->Data Usage-->Mobile data (on or off)
