Help How do I disable 4G?

[DILands]

Although I'm not 100% sure - I strongly suspect that my TBolt is having issues with the 3G->4G handshake. Like all technology - it's still awesome when it works. My issue stems from having a 35+ commute daily, and wanting to use my TBolt for streaming music - and GPS! I can not tell you how many times I'll drop data. I KNOW that there's a way to disable 4G - and it's probably simple.

Anyway - how do I do it? Will be reporting back.

TIA!

I would check out the LTE onoff app

I could have sworn that I heard that there was actually already on the phone from HTC - maybe not. .

Thanks - this is what I was looking for. I went out locally today - will give it a real test tomorrow.

There's a widget switch, but it's for the EVO only I believe. Sad.

if you are rooted, i believe the latest SkyRaider Zues ROM has a widget now.

Just called Verizon this week because I got sick of losing functionality as I traveled in and out of 4g areas throughout the day. "CDMA Only" is their solution. I said "you're telling me that if want reliable service from my 4g phone then I need to disable 4g, is that correct?" and they said "Yes".

Wasn't the gist of the ThunderBolt Marketing - the first *4G* phone??

I'm definitely not thrilled with their answer. The last few weeks have been the worst.

in their defense, 4G still isn't rolled out everywhere, and the LTE signal isn't the strongest, either.
