3G/4G Toggle Widget

Has anyone found a 3G/4G toggle widget yet, so you don't have to go through the various menus to switch between the network modes?
 
I use LTE OnOff from the market. You can put the icon on one of your homepages and when you open it theres only one pop up screen you have to click to switch it from 3g to 4g. Works well for me. Hope this helps you out
 
I am pretty positive they still don't let you do this. Although, you can just set up a shortcut to settings then change it in mobile networks.
 
I use LTE switch by Geoffrey Buttercombs from the market. I like it better than LTE OnOff it's alot easier & quicker to use this app instead of going into settings all the time.One click & your done.Just add the icon to any homepage.
 
Maybe I'm wrong, but I've use both and as far as I can tell, LTE onOff and LTE Switch both do the same thing. They are both a shortcut to bypass using your phone's keypad to dial *#*#4636#*#*/Phone information.

I can't tell that one works any better or faster than the other, so just pick the one with the icon you prefer.

Verizon says to delete all third party switching apps and use the one they now have built into the last update because they cause a conflict, but theirs only gives you the choices of LTE/CDMA and CDMA only. It doesn't give you the option to use LTE mode and LTE mode is the only way I can get and keep a somewhat stable 4G connection when using the TBolt as a hotspot.

Deleting apps that work is not the answer. Verizon needs to fix theirs so that it works as well as the third party apps. Or maybe they tried to simplify it because they think the users are too dumb to figure out how to use it.
 
Thanks for the suggestions guys. I agree that I'm not seeing any difference between LTE OnOff and LTE Switch, other than the icon. While I guess a bit faster than going through the menu system, neither are still ideal.

Seems like such a simple widget; I wonder why one hasn't been made?
