    4G > 3G based on location

    Not handset or network specific, but FYI - I've got a Google Nexus 5 (Rooted) on EE in the UK. My 4G signal's shocking at home, so I can't keep a phone call going, and struggle sending / receiving texts. I know I can manually disable 4G, and I do that if I'm making a lot of calls etc, but...
