I would also be interested in this
Yeah, I think it's essential. Call quality sucks on advanced calling, and for important calls, I want an option to quickly switch to 1x calling

This would be great. I am also looking to get tasker to toggle it for me when I am connected to my home wifi (and others) Since you only need it when you have no wifi.
Sounds like a tasker problem

I suppose it's not available in tasker after all. Weird BC I thought nothing was off limits in the app http://forums.androidcentral.com/android-apps/538920-how-can-tasker-programed-toggle-hd-voice-lg4-widget.html
So unless you're a developer, I suppose there is nothing you can do to get a volte widget.
I know this is an old thread, but I came across it because I was looking for the same feature. I have Verizon, and I have a Network Extender in my house to get normal service. Well, one of the downsides of using an Extender is that you have to have your Advanced Calling turned off to connect to it. Because I want to toggle it on and off frequently, I wanted a widget on my desktop. So I found a solution after trying a few apps.
Solution:
1) download app called "Quick ShortcutMaker"
2) on top, change search from "incremental search" to "normal search"
- this is easier, because you would think you could access it through settings, but you can't because its not there
3) type in "advanced calling" and search, you'll get two matches
4) choose the 2nd one which is labeled "Phone -> Advanced Calling -> com.android.phone/com.android.phone.VzwAdvancedCallingSettings
5) put that shortcut on your desktop and now you have a quick toggle to jump to that page and turn it on and off. Its not an official toggle, but it does save you several screens
PS: you can do the same for WiFi calling. Just make sure when you search that you search for "Wi-Fi calling", the hyphen is important. It's also under the phone category.

I just upgraded my Vz network extender to the new 4G model. It supports advanced calling. It also fixed a problem that I had sending DTMF to an IVR system.
I sold my old 3G network extender on eBay.

I wasn't aware of a 4G model. I would like to look into this. Could you share with me the manufacturer and model # of it? I can't seem to find on google.

Awesome!!!! Been looking for this a long time. Still having trouble with my junk advanced calling. Works great even though says for older operating system. Now You have to add the widget to home screen first and then select it to add shortcut. So happy!!!!!!!!!!

So I've been testing stuff out and I notice that when I have 3g turned off I get like twice the battery life. Is there an app anyone knows of that keeps 3g off unless specifically using data without having to manually use a 3g/2g toggle?

Widgetsoid is awesome, but it still only throws you into "Network settings" menu, not toggling the "Use only 2G networks" button.
Is it even possible tho? On my older phones (Desire, Desire Z) I remember it was impossible to do a button to instantly toggle between 2G and 3G.
Control Bar?

Try xda superpower. Maybe not exactly what you're looking for but it is useful. You can set it to disable data when the screen is off, set exemptions for specific apps, and a whole bunch of other options. Its free so you might want to give it a try.

LTE OnOff in the market, dials into the support menu (or whatever it's called) where you can change the radio. A bit of a pain, but better then having a dead battery 6 hours into your day.
This doesn't work on the Droid 4, the only option is to turn off the radio entirely.

Works for me just fine. It's not a widget, just a short cut. Select the drop down arrow about half the way down to see the different bands.

Thx for this thread I've been trying to figure out how to disable 4g. I downloaded the 4g toggle but it just links me back to my original choices of global gsm or lte/cdma. Any further ideas?

You need lte onoff as I stated earlier. Motorola has seen fit to remove the option in settngs to run on cdma only. the app I listed takes you into a support menu allowing you to select the bands through a drop down.
Widgets will most likely not work as the setting is in the framework and is not easily changed.

Works perfectly! Many thanks:good:
So I have been playing around with the LTEOnOff and was wondering if there was any information on the different types of radio's we can choose from.
EDIT:Since I poster this I found a neat webpage with a lot of information about the different radio signals.

I've updated my Droid 4's OS to ICS. I like it so far, but it seems to have gotten rid of the 3G option in the settings menu.
Has anyone figured out how to turn off 4G? A popular method for other phones like below doesn't work on Droid 4.

This has been answered multiple times now. The easiest way (in my opinion) is to download a free app called LTE On/Off from the Google Play Store. It will take you right to a menu where you can enable and disable LTE. The setting to use to turn it off is "CDMA auto (PRL)".

Thanks. That worked like magic.
i miss the quick access to disable my mobile data/LTE/4G connection on the S5. S4 had it right at the top. Best i can find is a widget called 'Data ON-OFF'. Couple other apps/widgets would turn it off, but not back on. i would have to go into the settings, more networks, mobile networks, and check the box by mobile data.
anyone know of a way to get this in the drop down menu in the top? On the S4 it was just a swipe and touch on the 'mobile data' button.

And it will add the disable/enable data to your notification panel and quick toggles. Some carriers have removed that quick toggle from the panel.
Note that this will just disable/reenable all data, if you need to specifically disable like LTE only and fall back to 4G, you will need a app like phone info from the app store.

But with our AT&T phones not able to root would we be able to do that? In the tutorial it mentions needing root. Thats why I am asking
Yeah, I forgot that you are all locked sown on AT&T variants. You'll need to wait for a root method and then this will work.

Sorry, but did you click enhanced LTE services? It should bring up a icon to your desktop. Click it then it should take you to a additional page where you can check/uncheck the option.

Nice trick. I wonder why this isn't available in the regular menu anymore. Any other hidden settings like this we should be aware of?
Does VoLTE make any difference in call quality? HD Voice with T-Mobile users seems exactly the same, and calls with other carriers sound terrible with VoLTE to begin with. It does not seem worth leaving VoLTE enabled, since you lose out on conference call management features.
Edit: I just tested a call with someone on a different carrier with VoLTE turned off, and the call quality was significantly better than when VoLTE was enabled. Seems like there is no advantage to VoLTE except maybe signal availability in areas where there is no GSM signal?

HD voice is volte man.... Hence the HD part. It's using your data network to make the call. If you call someone that doesn't have volte capability, it's going to sound a lot worse, but they use to have it baked in to not use volte if the other person didn't have it. I guess now they just re convert the signal instead
HD Voice and VoLTE are not the same thing. VoLTE is merely the carriage of voice over LTE. It's use is mandated by the GSM Association, and it uses the HD Voice codec to turn your words into a digital signal. HD Voice is what has become the trade name of a particular voice codec, AMR Wideband (AMR-WB). HD Voice operates over UMTS and GSM, it is not unique to LTE.
Even with VoLTE turned off, we still get HD voice calls between T-Mobile users and it sounds generations better than other calls.

Turning off volte also turns off HD voice in tmobile phones.
Volte can be disabled from Settings, Connections, Mobile Networks, 4G Call. (if T-Mobile let it there)

Not all, and even then for the ones that behave that way, if you drop down to 3G (HSPA+) you still retain HD-Voice (AMR-WB)

No I know that. But while I was in the settings menu for it, whenever I turned off VOLTE, it auto turned off HD voice and grayed it out
Thanks for this, for whatever reason my VoLTE was disabled by default. Was wondering why my outgoing calls dropped to 4G all the time.
