What was HTC/Verizon thinking???

---

Seriously, the best thing about the Evo was the ability to turn off 4G. Am I missing something here or did they omit this feature from the Thunderbolt? Cant find it anywhere. Without doing anything other than having email sync'd, a few texts and a few speed tests my battery is under 40% in under 4 hours from a full charge.

Open the dialer app :

1) *#*#4636#*#*
2) Phone Information
3) Scroll down to the 2nd drop down box and select the following :

CDMA+LTE/EvDO auto for auto switching between CDMA and LTE

CDMA auto (PRL) for CDMA only

If you want to turn data off entirely, that is in Settings, Wireless & Networks, Mobile Network checkbox.
Or do you want to have it on but slow?

it's not an option via the power widget?...oh no...hopefully custom roms will resolve this

i just checked in extended controls there is a toggle for 4g(wimax) would be worth downloading to see if it worked, if it doesn't you can always uninstall it and get your money back

I had warned you before OP lol. My test device have that option, so I'm slightly confused as to why the masses doesn't have it too.

Will definitely try this but WTF Verizon? I can only imagine what battery life is going to be like for people not in an LTE area.
