LTE/3G toggle widget

Any recommendation for a good LTE/3G toggle widget for the T-mobile Nexus 5?

The LTE absolutely kills the battery

Thank you
 
It would probably be better (certainly so for battery life) if you just found a toggle to switch data on and off as needed.

I personally didnt see any significant battery drain with LTE, but it could be local network conditions.
 
It's a good point, in my region, there is a big drain with LTE, yet only minimal speed reduction when compared to 3G (which is much easier on the battery).

So ideally I don't want to turn the data off, but rather keep it on 3G most of the time, but be able to switch back and forth b/w that and LTE with one button, if possible - ?
 
On my phone you can select to stay on 3g.

Go to settings; Under wireless & networks go to More; then go to Mobile Networks; go to Preferred Network Type; it is there you can select LTE, 3g or 2g.

Does that help?
 
Yes that is how I do it, but ideally a one click widget for the Homescreen that would allow me to toggle back and forth b/w LTE and 3G is what I am looking for - ?

Click to expand...

Don't have any recommendations since I don't use any, but searching on "Toggle LTE 3g" in the play store brings up a lot of them.
