for my experience running LTE all night, with wifi off, the battery consumption is the same as the phone with wifi turned on. Most probably the areas im in (PJS 10 and Section 19,PJ) has strong LTE signals, hence why the antennas need not work hard to locate a stable connection

QUOTE(geek8585 @ Apr 10 2013, 10:08 AM) something to share with you guys... the situation is like this... my house area is with low 3G coverage (happy garden, kuchai lama) and previously i tend to toggle off 3G and Data toggle remain on. Yes, it saves battery... but when the 3G toggle and Data toggle is ON, the network automatically switch back to Edge doesn't help you to save any battery because your phone will keep on searching for a 3G network (even 1bar like christcwl9 said) to my conclusion, with the latest carrier update... u can't stop battery drainage already even thou it drops automatically from 3G to Edge... maybe there is a jbtweak that can force the phone permanently on Edge only? LOL... by the way, no LTE connection around Happy Garden.. (although maxis claimed there is a coverage... zzz) QUOTE(hovercraft97 @ Apr 10 2013, 10:10 AM) yeap .. before this people complain about the phone swithcing to other data and some even complain the phone very hard to get 3G line... with this update, it might please some of the maxis user here.. however,, i am more on the average user... will only switch to 3G when want to reply iimportant mail , sending mail.. download huge attachments for working purposes or assignment and FB of coruse.. the rest, i will switch up to Edge.. for whatsapp.. it would be nice if we can toggle between 2G and 3G.. so that we can have an option to choose..

Guys, this is our Carrier issue. What we can do now is to email Maxis and have them listen to us. I have already sent Maxis an email regarding this in hope that they will change the toggle LTE button priority to both 3G and 4G, meaning that if you toggle on LTE, it means it will auto be in 3G when LTE is not widely available.Apple not likely will release another extra toggle for the 2G connection... u can pray for a jbtweak IMO When the LTE toggle is off, Maxis will auto assign 2G network for our iphone just like the previous carrier setting does. I really hope Maxis customer service will reply me soon and im eager to know how they will react towards this issue. |

For people who wants to switch back to 2G, here's how (only can work if your device is jailbroken)
1. Download the Cydia tweak "NCSettings" 2. Go to Settings > NCSettings > Data and select 3G 3. Now go to Settings > General > Cellular and turn of LTE. Your phone will enter 3G mode now 4. Now slide down you notification center to reveal NCSettings. And tap on the 3G toggle to turn 3G off. Now you phone will enter 2G mode and you will see the "E" sign beside your Carrier logo.

I might jailbreak my iphone if this is really 100% work. Anyway, thanks for the suggestion @Heero Yuy  |

christcwl9 do you mind to give me the maxis email?
from my understanding, the carrier setting is actually pushed by Apple and not Maxis... most likely Maxis can't do anything unless they do a revamp on their network which i don't know how ... LOL |

You will find a way there to lodge a complain or general enquiries. From what i read online, Maxis aka Carrier, is able to do setting on the phone, but limited to connectivity of the phone only. I am sure that Maxis can do something about the toggling of 2G and 3G, but im not sure whether can Maxis set a Toggle switch for 3G and a Toggle switch for LTE or not. Im sure Maxis can change the function of the Toggle LTE switch to both 3G and 4G onlyfrom my understanding, the carrier setting is actually pushed by Apple and not Maxis... most likely Maxis can't do anything unless they do a revamp on their network which i don't know how ...

Anyone from Desa ParkCity (included in the list of areas that are supposedly LTE covered) have any luck with getting LTE? All I get in my room is E and there's no data connection. I can't surf with it. It's really quite pathetic.
