Battery level vs connection type

[kckid]

Does Sprint change the connections type at certain battery levels to conserve the battery?

Are you referring to connections optimizer?

[kckid]

I don't know what the connection optimizer is? I was traveling through St. Joesph, NO yesterday and should have had an LTE signal, but all I got on I-29 was EVDO Rev A.D.

 

Yes my connection was set to LTE/CDMA.

 

Wondering if it was because the battery was under 50%?

AJ had to cycle his connections repeatedly on his EVO LTE to connect in St. Joe.

I appreciate this new postal abbreviation for the state of Misery...er, I mean...Missouri.

Correct. If I know or suspect that LTE is live in a certain area and wish to connect, I cycle airplane mode. Otherwise, the EVO LTE may connect to LTE right away or may require several minutes to do so -- during which time I may have already exited the area. If you are unwilling to cycle airplane mode to ensure LTE connection where available, then the EVO LTE -- as it stands right now -- may not be a good handset for you.

I was also wondering why it was connecting EVDO instead of eHRPD?
