4g is a joke in my area and now that my phone thinks it can work using 5g the battery lasts for no more then 4 hrs. Time to say goodbye to Verizon

Getting the 5G in your area is a nice feature, keeping apps running in the background does cause the battery to fade faster, and not closing out app when you are done as well. The 5G does use more battery on your devices. Doing a health check through the Verizon pp, to ensure there is no other device issues, or to turn off unused app is important. *Rhonda

You can disable it. Download "Force LTE". Open it and it will be set to NR/LTE/GSM/WCDMA. Just set it to LTE/GSM/WCDMA and it will turn it off      https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.xsquarestudio.forcelte&hl=en_US&gl=US
