How to turn off 4G on your LG Esteem

[miamiparis]

I clicked on the link https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.appdroid.anycut on my phone and it didn't work.
Then I typed any cut in Google Play and I couldn't find this application.
So exact keywords should I type in Google Play ?

gotta thank you for the tut i was wrong about the method i used to turn off all data keeping it on 3g is really the way to go. its so helpful even when im being capped for going past my 2.5gig data limit atleast with 3g i get 300-490 kbps compared to 150max on 1x and capped 4g

Update my 3g has been getting stronger in the tampa bay area thanks to this tut i no longer have to worry about waiting for my new bill cycle to start again to get my 4g again, ill just switch to 3g and enjoy it in the mean while

I've tried this but the 3g randomly disappears. Switching back to hybrid automatic I get 4g/3g but they cut out after awhile. Just reflashed #2_2.1. Will try this again.

idk why but my any cut isnt working. I searched it on the play store and it didnt come up so i went into root explorer and went to app back ups then user apps and i had the apk for any cut there so i installed and when i try to make a shortcut it says "shortcut made" or whatever but when i go to my home screen theres not shortcut.. any thoughts on how to get the shortcut to show up?

When I pick activity on any cut it disentangle say a thing

it stinks that the phone has to reboot so what you save in internet usage you lose when rebooting i used this on my indulge before and it does help a little

i downloaded it, seems like just a battery saver. is there a setting i need to change 4g to 3g?

toke have u read this whole thread yet its all they talking about and i highly recommend it!

in terms of trying to get your anycut to work try long pressing on ur home screen and selecting shortcut then choose any cut now go make that shortcut like u was trying before and see if it works now.

actually no lol ive been busy/lazy but i will do it now.

 

[n4zty]

lol sorry i edited my post with extra tips

This is a nice tutorial but it reboots when ever you try to switch to either 3g or 4g...
I have another little tutorial if you want to switch to 3g fast without rebooting...
1. Download an app on the market called restart connections.

2. If you want to switch from 4g to 3g Without rebooting dile *#*#4636#*#* you will get a menu with 4 options click on phone information then go all the way down until you see SET PREFERRED NETWORK TYPE if you are on 4g it will say cdma/lte/evdo auto change it to cdma auto (PRL)

3. Now that you changed it press home and go to the app restart connections click it, it will restart your connection(it will not restart your phone but your connection) and you will be in 3g until you change it back...

Now to go back to 4g you do the same thing but instead of using the app restart connections you have to reboot...

lol sorry i edited my post with extra tips

i just did it using this but i just tried what u suggested in your edited post and it worked thanks

I'm using Any Cut. But there is a problem. After I'm using wifi at home and I go outside, then once in a while, I don't have internet connection so I have to restart the phone to get 3G. If I didn't use wifi, I'm sure that it would be fine. Is there another solution that would avoid this problem?

yea that happens with me too it eventually comes back on its own

 

[Transfusiionz]

My phone is constantly in 1x I used to have good service here, but something is broken I haven't seen the 4g symbol in months.
My wifi is a lot faster though 100 megabit down 5 megabit up (upload speed sucks, but it works )

i moved you over bro u can find some useful posts here thx...

I live in sacramento and get great service. Since prl3030, i get3.5mbps consistently now...

Back to 4g. I use power widget lite to toggle data on/off to save battery. But after reading this thread, i'm going to check out any cut. Sounds interesting.

Thanks!

That's decent for sure Trek:thumbup:
I still have spots here only say 4 miles from the home base where it goes from no service to 1x/3g/4g within a mile on the way to work.
Guess I'm fortunate I don't live in that mile "range" :rofl:

 

[n4zty]

yea trek thats what im doing now 3g saves our power dramasticly and keeps our data going.
