Help lock 4G LTE Mode?

[Thechidz]

Is there a setting to lock the phone in 4G LTE and not fall back to 3G like on the Thunderbolt?

The LTE phones aren't even out yet. But, if they are carrier branded, they probably won't let you access those network settings.

My thunderbolt is carrier branded?

I personally liked being able to turn on/off 4G and 3G on my bolt. There were times when I just did not need 4G and wanted to save battery time and used 3G. I hope the S3 has that option.

Not sure about the Verizon version of Samsung products but I do know that AT& T branded Samsung phones have that function blocked. You're pretty much stuck in GSM/WCDMA mode all the time.

yep heres hoping. I think that was HTC that had that feature I love it. Way too many times the phone would drop to 3G unless I force lock it into 4G. I also like being able to choose 3G if I want to save on data (when I let my friends tether). Maybe there will be an app that can do this somehow?
