I leave my phone on 4g all the time and get ~13 hours. I tried only 3g and my battery life was significantly less. IMO there isn't a built in switch for a reason.

That's where you're wrong, there is a built in switch in the settings, people are just looking for a widget. You're probably the only person who says they get better battery with 4G, honestly it doesn't even make sense. If I disable 4G and only use 3G (like I did yesterday because 4G was down) my battery was significantly better, it didn't hit the charger all day, on 4G I would've had to charge my phone at least once probably twice

I use AnyCut to create a shortcut to LTE settings. Works fine.

"4G Toggle" works great for creating a shortcut to the Settings/Mobile network settings. Its free and available in the Android Market - link here.

How did you do that? Is there a script/code you can post? I didn't see an option for "LTE Settings" in the AnyCut Activity list...

Sorry I should clarify. I have it set to go to Network Settings then I select LTE settings.

unzip the file and then just install the apk via root explorer or something like that. Worked for me. But now I just switched to CM9 Kang Rom and it is already built in. Cool rom.

Just to let you guys know, if anyone wants to try the CM9 Kang, it has the LTE pull down widget and it seems to work. Switches network modes. Will try tomorrow when I'm in an LTE area.

Using Winner00's CM9 Kang, with integrated LTE pull down switch, and it works great. It's integrated into the Notification Power Widget...
