any app that does location awareness to shut off LTE?

[ViviTheMage]

My work is a black hole for LTE, but 4G works great... any way of flipping LTE off based on location? I am here for 7-8 hours, so if I can have LTE off for when I am here so it's not searching I can save a bit of battery.

Not that I'm aware of. Kinda sorta niche app idea you have there ;o)

But really, how hard is it to flip the LTE switch to Off under Settings | General | Cellular when you roll up to work?

loads That's why I want it automated based on location!

If you had a phone with NFC I'm sure you could program a tag to do that. Not that this helps...but it's something to consider for a future phone.

iBeacons with BT LE might be able to accomplish the same thing.

yeah I read about those, how does that work exactly?

Use Wifi.

 

[ViviTheMage]

yes but I still want to disable LTE so it stops seeking.

I agree with OP, but I don't think any app has access to this without jailbreaking.

What is so hard about implementing switches triggered by geofences or at the very least by a schedule? I need my phone to automatically enable/disable features and radios based on where I am, or even based on the time of day.

The battery savings would be HUGE.

 

[ViviTheMage]

yeah, that would be awesome ... even a schedule would be OK as I am onsite from x to x anyway.
