    Swipe down from the top click network settings and the drop down menu will allow you to switch off LTE to hspa/gsm

    HSPA/GSM bands aren't compatible with the Verizon version... just the CDMA 1900 (for voice)

    yes, but you guys are missing the point as to why it would not work... look at the 100-4 version and you will understand

    Very interesting Info. Now more than ever we have to be careful if purchasing unlocked phones to work of different networks.

    Verizon needs to fix this problem! I remember this on the original LTE droids.

    I think it's quite likely to be intentional, ie for traffic management purposes they don't want customers overloading their legacy 3G network.

    On the other hand, if you had an active WiFi connection and the device automatically turned-off LTE in that case, that would be an OK compromise for some people.

    (There is a "data services" on/off toggle which would presumably do manually what I just described.) (Edit: confirmed.)
