Lte Onoff Htc Thunderbolt
Just wondering. I've noticed substantial extended battery life, when I remember to turn LTE off when I'm not going to need it.Frankly, for MY typical type of use, making calls, sending text messages, the occasional five minutes of game play, I don't need LTE.Now, when I want to browse the web, or download and read the news, or update my apps, I LOVE how fast LTE is!But again, most of the time, it's simply not needed.I REALLY wish some developer would release an app that turns OFF LTE, and only when I launch, say, the browser, or Market app, launches it!Anyone else turn LTE off when not needed? I have the LTE OnOff app, and when I first got the phone, I'd use it to turn it down to 3G only, except for downloading things. Now that I have the 2750 mAH battery, though, I leave 4G on. Admittedly, it seemed like going 3G-only helped preserve the battery life, but recently, I've noticed that the battery seems to drain about the same whether I keep 4G on, or go down to 3G.Anyway, the only time I go to 3G now is when my phone starts up and won't catch the 4G signal, and defaults down to 1X. This happens about once or twice a week.
Kind of annoying. It'll usually fix itself if I restart the phone, but the restart option automatically drains 15-20% of my battery, for whatever reason, so it usually just makes more sense to use the LTE OnOff app to switch to 3G-only. I was hoping the OTA would've fixed this 1X silliness, but I guess it didn't. I know how to turn 4G off but I leave it on for reasons of convenience. I realize that 4G uses more power but I use WiFi at work and at home. So most of the time my Thunderbolt draws power like a typical phone.I have an 8A external battery for when on the street with no opportunity to recharge with a car or wall charger.I want the HTC 2750mA battery and have it on order with Amazon. If anyone knows a good place to get one, please start a new thread and tell us where that is.Posted with my Thunderbolt.

Click to expand.Yeah, it's weird, because when I get stuck on 1X, if I use the LTE OnOff app to switch to 3G-only, it picks up the 3G signal right away, but if I switch it back to the 4G option, it immediately drops back down to 1X. Sometimes if I leave it on the 3G-only option for a few hours, and then switch it back to the 4G option, it'll jump to 4G, but having to wait a few hours and then change the setting is kind of inconvenient.

I never tried switching to wi-fi (as when I'm away from home, I'm not around many wi-fi networks, that I know of), but I have tried going into settings and turning 'mobile network' off, waiting a little while, and then turning it back on, but it still sticks with 1X.
