There is no official way to do so on stock ROMs and no ROM dev has managed to get the network preferences working for the AT&T variant (that I know of). However, there are some work arounds. Read here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=37334232&postcount=49 as this is most likely the closest thing to what you want. However the caveat is that if you reboot or toggle airplane mode, you will have to do the settings over again.

There is another alternative here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1826409. This will achieve similar results but will lock you into one band only (2g only, 3G only, or LTE only). You will have to unlock RAT after every reboot but otherwise the setting will stick. I can confirm that both methods mentioned above work on stock rooted but not on AOSP. These methods may work on stock variants but I have never tried. It is really up to you and the GF to determine what is the optimal solution

There is an APN that will give you what you desire but at the expense of network drops so I would personally recommend against it. Here is the link with the APN mentioned: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2113033&highlight=apn+wap+cingular.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] sputnik767:
Thanks for the info. I figured there was something going on when I couldn't really come across a truly workable solution. I guess AT&T is really trying to push people into their LTE network. I don't think any of those solutions will suffice only because my GF isn't going to want to deal with these sorts of things. And I can't really blame her, because nobody should have to. I have tried Juice Defender, which worked really well. Problem is, it eventually stopped working for some reason. I have also noticed that her phone had trouble with various setting sticking, widgets disappearing, etc. I guess I'll try a different ROM (like this one) and JuiceDefender again, hopefully it'll work.

Re: [ROM] Dandroidv2.6 LL1 (newest I747 base)- ddexed-Full AOSP look or Stock TW 02/2

AT&T has been notorious about disabling network choice on their phones for years... even before LTE.

Just a question but has the Samsung and AT&T apps been disabled, frozen, or uninstalled? If not try that first. Made a huge difference for many people in regards to battery life. There is a lot of info on this and along with other battery saving methods for this phone.

If it is an LTE signal strength issue I doubt another ROM will help much in this area. If she doesn't reboot often or switch airplane mode then try the first method and see if it helps. If it something she doesn't have to do very often and it is the signal problem she may be willing. I would try it regardless just to see if it can be confirmed as the problem for battery life.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] sputnik767:
I removed as much Samsung and AT&T bloat as I felt was safe. So roughly 50 or so apps, widgets, live wallpapers, etc.

My biggest issue with the stock ROM is that sometimes her setting don't stick, and Juice Defender stopped working after about a week. Literally the difference when it worked was 70% battery left vs 10% or less. I think that if I can get Juice Defender to stick, her problems will be solved. That's why I think there is something wrong with her current ROM, and this ROM seems to be based on a different version DLK4 vs DLK3. I don't know if there are significant differences, but I don't believe that it was ever released as an OTA. So honestly, I'm not even sure where this base is coming from. Still, can't hurt to try.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Idyar:
Not to confuse things further but this ROM is based on LL1. I second the recommendation of forcing H+ as many people here in Canada do that because LTE is so bad on battery. Can't wait till we can switch to LTE for voice which people keep saying will be this year and can stop using so many bands on multiple chips multiple radios!

Re: [ROM] Dandroidv2.6 LL1 (newest I747 base)- ddexed-Full AOSP look or Stock TW 02/2

I don't think there is newer version other than DLK3. You can ODIN DLK3 rooted, remove bloat, factory wipe and see where that takes you.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Idyar:
LL1 Is newer then LK3 OR LK4

LK4

L = 2012

K = November

4 = Revision 4

LL1

L= 2012

L = December

1 = Revision 1
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] sputnik767:
So please correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems that LL1 has been released just on the Canadian carriers. I believe AT&T is still stuck on LK3. Still, I am assuming that this ROM will work fine on the AT&T device. In any case, I would love to disable LTE on the phone, but AT&T blocks it. The only way to do it has been with the methods described on the previous page, none of which are preferable or as easy as it is on the Canadian models. I have no problem disabling LTE on my Sprint Galaxy S3, it's just the AT&T models that have the problem. As long as LL1 works fine and I can use Juice Defender to automatically kill the data connection when the screen is off, I don't think my GF will complain about battery life. Juice Defender settings have been a problem on LK3, at least for me. I'll give this ROM a try this weekend.

Damn what an awesome and smooth rom blandroid is after setting up I see that asop clock is in place of Tw. Why is that? TW clock is light years better than the steaming pile of crap asop clock. I saw where Dan posted a zip to flash to install the TW but it's not working...

Re: [ROM] Dandroidv2.6 LL1 (newest I747 base)- ddexed-Full AOSP look or Stock TW 02/2

Ive been running this for a few hours now.

I went and got the latest TW KT kernel and so far no complaints.easily the closest to stock experience thats been the smoothest for me.can any suggest a good undervolting config for this ROM & Kernel?my CPU settings Are default min/man but my Governor is ktoonservative and I/O Scheduler is SIO.i have yet to fiddle with undetvolting on this rom.any suggestions?

AT&T Galaxy S3-Device

Dandroid V2.6-ROM

Ktoonesz Latest TW 4.1 JB-Kernel
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] MercilessLTD:
I can personally attest to Dandroid regarding battery life and working on an AT&T device. While I'm no stranger to flashing ROMs, I was hesitant simply due to warranty. My tipping point, after dealing with charging twice daily, was the running apps: 13 of 20 was AT&T bloatware crap that could not be removed. (I also missed having Google Wallet.) ;)

Using Dandroid with the bundled KT kernel, with light use, I can go almost 36 hours without having to charge. Even with heavy use, I still don't have to charge until I go to bed at night. This, I might add, is having my phone on AT&T LTE all day when I'm at work. Of course squeezing that extra few minutes of battery takes tweaking of the kernel settings, but I ran default for a week and it was amazing. I've found that once a device runs as lean as this one does, battery apps like Juice Defender take more juice monitoring than helping. (But, of course, that's my opinion.)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Idyar:
Again the LL1 in this case is a Mexican variant not Canadian. The confusion comes because of the revision number (the 1 in LL1) Because 747 and 999 are technically different phones Samsung released 2 firmwares in December, one in early December and one in late December both with the same revision number. It will work more then fine, I guarantee it will work great based on the couple thousand people that are using this ROM =)

I also noticed this when I forced myself to use Blandroid over the last few days and its fixed in the new version. Now to be completely fair to Google the aosp clock I really like. Sounds like you have your solution let me know if you need me to cook up a flash for you as I can do that if you are still having trouble.

I would head over to the KT thread to discuss the specifics of Kernel tweaking. However using Ktoonservative/Row with everything else default is the most common suggestion I see on his thread. Dan swears by intellidemand and noop, and that seems to have given the best results that have been demonstrated in our threads. (Someone had 5:30 of screen time with that combo)

I have mentioned it before and will say again that task killer and battery apps I personally have found are more trouble then help. I know a tonne of people swear by them but I have personally never found them to be helpful or positive to battery life.

---------------------

Here is what is going on with Blandroid so far:

- Removed AOSP clock app replaced with TW

- Note2 Gallery/Camera

- Many bug fixes (10+ merges)

- Updated Kernel

- 23 Toggles (Technically 24 minus multiwindow)

- Added flash for browser

- Enabled OTA updater

- Made statusbar black

- Restored correct signal reporting. Telcel had it LIE and never report below H+.

- Re-add my files and samsung video player thing to fix some issues (Thanks to our testers for this)

Stay tuned!

THe only thing i can say for this is on the SGS3 I would agree.. however, on older phones I do think they helped.. back in the day when i had my craptivate, Juice defender/baterry defender DID help increase the life of my battery when i had that.. but as technology has improved,, i believe i read that samsung basically implemented their type of solution which does what JD/BD does already.. so it was pointless to add it again as now you just have another app running and doing what the phone does naturally.. i did not see any benefits when i first got my sgs3 and tried them... so again, agree, now it is pointless, but for those that may run older smartphones, they did/can possibly still help
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] niabi:
hahaha I find it funny, since I live in Mexico and that is my carrier (unlucky for me) and what you say its true! even when there is NO signal, it still reports as H+ :(

but glad you guys are fixing it for this awesome ROM :D
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] sputnik767:
The only real benefit to JuiceDefender in my opinion is when you are in a low signal area or LTE fringe area. The phone wastes a lot of battery just to keep the connection alive while still syncing whatever stuff is configured to sync. JuiceDefender will kill the mobile data connection on screen off, and just turn it on every 15 mins just to let the phone sync data. I have seen tremendous battery life improvements in that scenario only. If you don't have signal issues, I agree that Juice Defender isn't very useful.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Idyar:
Thanks for the kind words. And yes I am next to speechless that Samsung would let a carrier do something so blatantly fraudulent. Complete horse**** IMO.

Re: [ROM] Dandroidv2.6 LL1 (newest I747 base)- ddexed-Full AOSP look or Stock TW 02/2

I would suggest to add back in video player because of the popup feature and voice recorder which imo is not really bloatware it actually works very nicely.

I have found the note 2 gallery to be extremely sluggish especially when you try to add a contact photo thru contacts. It might be that way because I have Picasa photos synced but it's not that way with the basic photo app. At least make a revert flash to the original gallery for people who don't want the note 2 gallery.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Idyar:
Hmmm note2 gallery is just soooo pretty. The next version of the ROM does indeed have video player back. There is a link in the OP with a guide to install the old GS3 gallery if you want.

Perhaps I haven't tried correctly, but I've noticed DLNA is no longer showing up on the Samsung Video Player.

Is this still available in Dandroid or is there something else I need to do?

My GPS acts funny under almost every rom other then those made specifically for Canadian carriers. Basically my GPS will lock within 5 seconds of opening Maps, however after ten seconds or so the GPS will lose the lock (but it still has the icon in the taskbar indicated it is locked) and then it will re-lock after another 10 seconds.

Do you know why my GPS would work perfectly on this rom (and i747z rom) and not on AOKP roms or roms made for ATT S3's?

This ROM is based on telcel a Mexican carrier not Canadian.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] pberge:
I have been running AOKP/CM10 based roms since the day I rooted my phone and finally decided to give TW another try and heard some really good things about Dandroid. Between the AOSP look and having Nova Launcher and the KT747 kernel built in, it felt a lot more familiar than most of the TW roms out there.

I have only been running it for a day and a half, but I'm really impressed so far. Using pegasusq/zen setup tuned for battery life without sacrificing too much performance, I just passed 2 1/2 hours of screen on time with 8 hours total and I still have 48% battery left. On AOKP I would have been lucky to get anywhere near 4 hours screen on time and I'm heading towards 5 hours on my 2nd day on this rom.

There might be things I miss about the more custom roms, but things like the popup browser are making me wonder why I waited so long to give TW another shot. What I know I won't miss is the constant need to try the next nightly build or switch to a different ROM every other day. This is the first rom I have installed in quite a while that had a build date that was more than 3 days old and I think I will be sticking with it for a while and just using my phone instead of constantly tweaking things. :D

Uncheck report your location from this device and automatically update your location from this device. But basically, as far as I know, any app that requests your location on a regular basis may show up as a Maps wakelock. I think social networking apps are notorious for this.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] MercilessLTD:
I know a lot of people are suggesting JB. While that may work for some, it did not work for me. I had to Odin back to stock, unrooted ICS and use the dialer code (*2767*3855#). This supposedly will not wipe your internal storage, but remember if you use the stock recovery to wipe (if you get bootloops and need to factory reset) it WILL wipe your internal storage. Completely.

For some reason flashing a rom that is based from another carrier's base then flashing back to a 747 rom causes the gps to stop working. The only fix I know of is to do a factory reset from android's settings menu (NOT from cwm or twrp). Give that a shot and see if it works.
