Toggle 4G LTE on/off?

[olsonn]

Will the EVO 4G LTE allow 4G to be turned off?

There seems to be some confusion about this in the AT&T One X review. I'm hoping Sprint is smart enough to allow for a 4G toggle (they did for the original EVO), especially considering many folks won't have a LTE signal in their area for a while.

Also the EVO 3D, so they should have it for the EVO LTE.

On the viper and the gnex there is an option under network to choose between lte/cdma or cdma so I don't see the evo lte being any different.

IIRC I read Sprint was shipping these with LTE toggled off (unlike att)...

Considering the reports that the Galaxy Nexus on Sprint will have its 4G toggled off by default due to lack of 4G LTE coverage in most areas, I think it's very likely that the Evo 4G LTE will be similar, and would therefore have an on/off toggle for the 4G LTE antenna.

I would hope there is an on/off toggle. Having that radio running all of the time, even if it is very efficient in its search for LTE, had got to be a drain on the battery.
