after upgrading to LTE short battery life
After upgrading to LTE/4G, my phone is permanently on 3G, draining rapidly its battery; is there a way to disable 3G and run on edge, so battery lasts longer as before?

Hello antonioskatakis,
Thank you for providing the details about the issue you are experiencing with your iPhone. There isn't an option to disable 3G on the iPhone, but I found an article with some steps to take if you experience a short battery life:
Battery life seems short
- Click ( www.apple.com/batteries/iphone.html) for tips on how to prolong iPhone's battery life.
- Try turning iPhone off and then on again.
- Connect iPhone to iTunes and restore iPhone.
- If the screen shows a low-battery image, the battery is low on power and needs to charge for up to ten minutes before you can use it.
- When charging iPhone, make sure to leave it charging until it is fully charged. You'll know the battery is fully charged when the battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen looks like this
.
Note: When charging using a computer, don't connect iPhone to a keyboard. Also, the computer must be turned on and not in sleep or standby mode. If iPhone is connected to a computer that's not turned on or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPhone battery may drain.My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?
