I think there is some arguement that LTE isn't true 4G either (though I will defer to Jabba's better judgement on that one).
You are correct as well that LTE isn't "true 4G". Even though it is classed as 4G haha. LTE-Advanced would be known as "true 4G". Also WiMAX as well but who the hell cares about WiMAX. |

You won't notice the difference even between 2G to 3G battery wise on a S5 whilst idle unless one has a poorer signal. Rubbish about 4G calls.. As you can't make 4G calls yet in UK and the signal makes no difference to the volume level.

In practice most operators worldwide didn't follow T-Mobile USA's lead. Looking outside of the USA market and you will find DC-HSPA classed as a 3G technology.

Get an O2 phone and install TuGo.. Calls in and out over 4G if you want! Works great!
That's not the same as VoLTE. |

I thought it was AT&T who did this as they were able to claim their HSPA+ / DC-HSPA network was similar in throughput to the prototype LTE network from Verizon. T-mobile had no choice but to copy AT&T's branding as the much smaller network, when they were also rolling out DC-HSPA+.
T-Mobile USA is the only operator in North America that still terms DC-HSPA as 4G. I know operators in the Canadian market certainly didn't follow suit. |

Disabling data altogether will give you the biggest boost.

AT&T as I understand did start to use the term, however this changed when they started rolling out LTE to its major markets. T-Mobile USA is the only operator in North America that still terms DC-HSPA as 4G. I know operators in the Canadian market certainly didn't follow suit.
viz: Quote:
With the introduction of 4G LTE, AT&T offers two layers of network technology that deliver 4G speeds for smartphone customers: LTE and HSPA+.
Quote:
While our 4G (HSPA+) network is faster than 3G speeds, 4G LTE enables you to stream video, download apps, send and receive email, and more, even faster.
