More power is needed to maintain connection to a 4G LTE network, it make battery drains much faster. Here the fact is that it drains more battery while you are talking. More battery power is needed in 4G than in 3G and 2G mode. Unfortunately there is no connectivity toggle to switch off LTE when we don’t need it. But there’s an application that overcome this problem.

1. Download the phone info app from the Google play store and install it.

2. Choose the phone information tab and can see the “set preferred network type” option at the bottom.

3. Tap on the preferred network listing currently in use, choose the “CDMA auto (PRL)” option from the drop down list.

4. Now the connection is maintained in the 3G mode, and whenever you need to use data you can switch back to LTE.
