In Wireless settings / mobile settings unclick Use Packet Data

The above post seems to make more sense than my suggestion below.
You could just install a custom ROM that doesn't support 3g. Like Task 14. I've seen people use it and it work fine, just losing 3g. But I wouldn't expect much, if any support running it on a 3g device and it being it's a WI-FI ONLY ROM.
Edit: no idea for sure if this would definitely solve the battery problem though either.

Or you could simply enable flight mode, which deactivates the 3g and wifi. After the tab goes in flight mode, reenable wifi only. This works for me, i use it in areas where 3g reception is bad to save battery

The last few days I have been running Tasker with a script that enables flight mode whenever its locked and disables i whenever its unlocked. My batterylife has quadrupled that way, not exactly sure why. I dont need mail sync etc, so this was a good solution for me.

It's even really handy, when you enter pin and enter flight mode, to simply use power button menu to quickly start 3G

Improve your 3g network

Hello, everyone!
Have you ever think galaxy s3 3g connection sometimes unstable?
especially 3g switch between H+,sometimes get stuck,
often stay in 3g,can not switch to H+,
no matter how i to modify(build.prop 3g tweak , init.d tweak)it does not improve!
one day i accidentally saw a discussion forum,
try the following settings ,3G stuck,and finally be resolved
suppose you have this network problem,you can try
setting/more settings/mobile network/network operators
search and select operators,confirm,registration your operators!

+1 or its lost in translation

It most likely applies to an area conjested with multiple networks. If your phone is bouncing from one telcos tower to the next then locking in one makes sense.

[How to] Disable LTE or 4G

This is useful if you have a weak LTE signal or just don't need it always on. I found this tutorial on a different website for another galaxy phone and it works on the Note 3.
1. Turn off your phone and take out your sim card.
2. Turn on your phone with no sim card and wait a minute or two for it to turn on and settle down.
3. Go to the dialer and dial *#2263#
You should see a menu with band selections. The current setting is "Automatic".
(You have to use the menu key to select your options by using "Key Input" to type the number you want)
If you switch to "GSM All", you will be EDGE (2G).
If you switch to "WCDMA All", you will be on HSPA+ (3G, though AT&T and others call it 4G).
4) Power off the phone again and put your sim card back. Upon reboot you should see your new setting in effect.

I get a service mode that says rat selection is restricted...
However *#*#4636#*#* will allow you to select whatever band you so choose. Although lte only doesn't allow voice calls

If your sim card is out when trying to access the menu it shouldn't say restricted.

I tried the above on my S4 and couldn't get LTE back was stuck on wcdma preferred. Google resulted in a ton of information. Ultimately hard reset needed.

Yeah that code doesn't work for me. It never worked for my note 2 or note 1 so I wouldn't recommend doing it.

Sorry about your luck with it, I've never had a problem using it to switch between lte, wcdma, or gsm on my s4 or this note 3. Weird...

Thank you inmotion! This code actually worked better for me on my Samsung Galaxy Note 3. I didn't even have to pull out my SIM card or reboot. Just dial in the code, go to Device Info and change the preferred radio network type. It changes the radio on the fly in real time, and can be seen at the top.

Since Android 4.3 and on the option to disable LTE/4G has been removed from all AT&T Android devices.

Actually it was before that. Could not do it on my note 1. Would always get RAT restricted. This was on at&t. Other networks were able to use those codes and make the switch.

1. Download the free Phone info app from the Google Play Store and install it
2. Choose the Phone Information tab and notice the "Set preferred network type" option at the bottom, marked with an arrow at the right of the drop-down menu
3. Tap on the preferred network listing currently in use, and choose the "CDMA auto (PRL)" option from the drop-down list
4. You should be now maintaining connection to only Verizon's 3G network, and whenever you need to use data, you can switch back to LTE for the duration of it
There are numerous other apps and widgets at the Play Store that claim to do the 2G/3G/4G switch, but many users on Verizon have confirmed the Phone info app to be the only method allowing them to reliably turn off the 4G LTE on their Samsung Galaxy S IIIs.

why would people want to disable LTE? (real question)

Does anyone know how to do a network reset? Because I connect to any Data at all no 4G LTE or 3G none of those. I can't send or receive pictures and go on the internet. I tired taking out Sim card for awhile and still didn't work. Does anyone know what to do? And how to reset network?

I have lg g6 h870ds

I live in NYC and have TMobile account. When I got the phone and connected it was only connecting to 3g . I switch the setting to allow LTE and it now connects to 4g with good speeds. But for some reason whenever I reboot my phone or change setting where LTE is not enabled ,phone doesn't connect to 3g anymore but only to 2g . Does anyone know what happened ?
BTW I already tried to reset the phone
Thanks for any information

I thought I read that this model will lose the network setting every time the phone is restarted. You have to go into network settings and re-select 4G LTE. I'm thinking of getting this model for use on AT&T. Try resetting the network preference and let us know what happens.

It does loose it's connection after reboot but at first it would switch to 3g and stay there, about few weeks after owning device it only switches to 2g as if no 3g available

That's odd. And nothing has changed since you bought it? When you reboot the phone and it defaults to 2G, if you then change it to 4G LTE manually, will it stay on 4G LTE until the next reboot?

It stays on 4g without issues but stopped connecting to 3g after reboot. I know it's not much but now when I make a call 4g switches to 2g and it takes longer the usual for call to go through .

i suspect this has something to do with your simcard/network. i have the H870DS, and i got 4G+/LTE out of the box with a Koodo (in Canada) sim. nothing changes with reboot.
