[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thenetvines:
Hey guys, I do not want faster LTE speeds, but better management to preserve as much as possible.

Here's the dilemma:

In a Family Plan on T-mobile in Florida US, with 5 people total, comes to roughly 140$ a month, unlimited talk, text, and 1G of LTE a month, and only 2G NONEXISTANT data speeds after the 1G of LTE (which we consume fast), even though we're not power users at all (maybe after 10 days we consume all of that 1G of LTE).

What would be better ways to disable and know of background services that consume data even though we're not browsing or using data at all?

One of the girls in the Family Plan has a Sprint HTC One, that I unlocked software wise, so she can't get LTE (no frequency match), so she -seems- to get the H (hspa?) symbol with a stable 4 to 8 Mb of downloads speeds that seem to consume her LTE limit slower than the rest.

Coud it be possible to get into a secret programming menu inside the Nexus 5 to disable LTE completely, and only use 3G speeds?

I remember having to disable LTE on another LG phone under MetroPCS, but only to save battery, and the 3G speeds were fine and stable.

How do you guys manage your LTE limits?

Btw, we get around 35Mb of download speed under LTE with T-Mobile, which is insane, but rather useless if the only data intensive task we use rarely is Youtube, and Youtube seems to load more than fine with just 4Mb of download speed.

Example: I wonder if dialing *#*#4636#*#*, and changing this to Evdo only, will only give me 3G speeds constantly?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
you share 1gb high speed data between 5ppl??? thats insane!!! i use about 1gb data per day(tmobole unlimited high speed data plan). id go crazy :D

---------- Post added at 07:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:00 PM ----------

you can disable lte on your device no problem. first way, dial *#*#4636#*#*, phone options, then select wcdma only. or, go to main settings, mobile networks, prefered network type
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thenetvines:
No my friend... everyone has 1G of LTE limit separately.

One person has a Sprint HTC One unlocked that can't run LTE because of the frequencies, so it only runs on H/3G, but has pretty good speeds and seems to waste that LTE slowly which is what we want.

I'm playing around with that programming menu and using GSM Auto seems to get rid of LTE and give me around 4Mb speeds under H/3G, which is good, but I wonder what are the best ways to manage that LTE limit :)

We have around 36Mb download speeds with LTE, but it's useless to be honest since Youtube works flawlessly with just around 4Mb stable. Same applies to other data intensive tasks.

We just want to disable or know of services that use our LTE in the background unnecessarily , so that we can disable them. Obviously we disable Location, and GPS when we don't use it, but I wonder if there are more advanced options.

The goal is to use less LTE to get the most out of it :)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frigidazzi:
Settings, data usage, then hit the menu. Check restrict background usage. I highly doubt it will make much of a difference whether you use 3h or lte if you're doing the same activities on both. It will just take them much longer go load up YouTube. It won't use more data to do it.

LTE doesn't use up data any faster than HSPA, it just has a faster transfer rate lol.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Letitride:
When my line was on VZW, I used 300 to 500 MB worth of data each month on old grandfathered 3G unlimited data plan. Now that we've switched to T-Mo's plan, DW used 100 to 200 MB worth of 4G data each month and I used 500 to 1.2GB worth of data each month (averaging about 750 MB) We are on Fios WiFi at home and at work/offices - whenever possible (and, if traveling - when hotel's WiFi is slow, we tried to balance it out) We only download attachments & update Apps (by default settings) when on WiFi - and turned off many Google Apps (if not uninstalled) including Google + and Photos & Auto Backups, as those can madly burn data.

Go thru each of your devices and see what's running in the background, Apps like Facebook are always pinging whereas push email don't necessary use a lot of data or bandwidth, nor does Twitter feeds. Turnoff some of those news/weather PUSH & photo/graphics pre-fetch, and you should see less data use in the background.

Look under Settings > Battery > to see the Apps that are running, and know how much data is being pulled - turn them OFF unless you & other users really need it. Google Now is cool but it's now OFF by default, switch on when needed - side effects included better & longer battery life.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrObvious:
If you want 3g only just do *#"#4636#*#* and turn it to WCDMA Preferred.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] salvorhardin80:
On stock rom to disable lte and only use 3g I go under settings /more... /mobile networks/preferred network type and then i choose 3g. helps save on battery when I have low lte signal. If you restrict background data under data usage it won't use data unless you manually request it (manually syncing or opening browser, etc.). On the other phones you might try to see if there are similar settings.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thenetvines:
Very useful info guys, thanks!... maybe disabling LTE is not the best approach after all. I will keep researching on this.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bblzd:
Sounds like you all are pretty heavy data users (1gig/week or so), is using WiFi an option?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wideasleep1:
This is the key. Try to attain wifi credentials in locations where your peeps spend most of their time. If you have a Comcast cable account, and in a urban environment, you can often piggyback on XFinity wireless hotspots by signing in with your Comcast creds. Transferring the workload off LTE will extend your LTE mileage big time. Have your peeps turn on wifi in their frequented locations, and see what can be done.

I have noticed that on several ROMs switch between 2G and 3G usually does not work as it should ...

In my case I realized this steps:

Disable data

Wait 5-10 secs

Switch 2G/3G

Enable data

But to this all the time is annoying...

For have a Automatic Switch.. follow this Steps:

Install Tasker App from Market

Download this file https://ww w.dro pbox.com/s/myps1lvzzb0h5n9/backup.xml

Rename the file to userbackup.xml

Copy the file to SD on Tasker folder

Open Tasker

Press menu button

Select Data

Now go to your Launcher and add the Widget called Task and select 2G/3G Task

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] fletch33:
not generally a fan of these threads since i appreciate all the devs and the different stuff they create but since the rom isnt mentioned here and has been the most updated rom i have ever used on a locked bootloader device then i have to make sure that [MENTION=5868929]hsbadr[/MENTION] with his Jasmine rom gets listed.

he is also about to launch a FULL S5 port with the Note 3 specific features injected.

thanks to all the devs listed and not :)

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] arvindsn:
I have a Samsung Galaxy S4 which is 3 months old. I was able to fully charge my phone last night as usual with no problems.

However, earlier today I was trying to transfer files from my phone to my laptop using the USB cable, and it came up with a message saying that the USB is not recognized and/or malfunctioning. This was weird because this is the same cable I've been using for months with no problems.

Later, my phone was running low on battery and I tried charging it, but I got the following message:

"The connected charger is incompatible with this phone. To prevent damage to your phone, charging has been stopped. To continue charging, use the original charger and cable that were provided with the phone."

Again, same charger that I've been using for months. My phone is now dead and if I try to turn it on the Samsung Galaxy S4 logo flashes once before the screen goes blank. Also, if I try to charge my phone either with USB or with a wall socket, my phone doesn't seem to be charging but instead vibrates once every three seconds. I have tried my friends' chargers and I have the same vibrating problem. Does anyone have any advice?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] joshm.1219:
Do you know anyone else with an s4? Make sure you can turn your phone on with their charged battery. Sounds like the USB port on your phone got something in it or got damaged somehow. Apparently the USB assembly is pretty easy to replace if it is damage, but no guarantees on that being the issue. As a temporary solution you can get an aftermarket battery and external charger. Anker is cheap and reliable

The casing is alot softer than any other plastic phones I've EVER had. Check out my sig if had my fair share. Id almost compare it to the softness of the iPhone 5 but thats softer. You definitely will not be able to dent it or put a line through it by running your finger nail so it will hold up but just not as good as my Q10's stainless steel band. The whole plastic vs Metal and whatnot

You may need a case to protect it. And on mine the ring around the camera lens wore out within a month because of it being on tables.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tangosierra_:
I highly recommend a case. I'm using a N5 with shattered glass here, due to dropping it from 1m onto the asphalt in Sydney. I recommend the Spigen hybrid case - they provide great drop protection (protected my N5 many times, wasn't in the case when the glass cracked), I've literally thrown my phone down from 2m onto the floor with the case and it survived. Also I heard great stories about tempered glass protectors as well.
