I'm a UK o2 user, I get this where I have to go into the network settings and manually switch from 4G/3G/2G auto to something different then back to actually get 4G
Anyone else experience this?
I'm in a 4G area but I leaving my house and coming off of WiFi doesn't seem to pick up the 4G network straight away without me having to step in
I am with O2 and in a 4G area. I found my coverage was very poor with the p9 when i first got it a few weeks back.
This was actually down to the cover i had bought. Since removing it it all seems normal.

I don't have a cover, it seems to be switching from 3G to 4G it takes forever to switch

Hoping for a way to force the P9 to connect to 4G and 4G only.

anyone able to pickup lte on tmobile? im in strong coverage area and usually any att phone i use with my tmobile sim picks up lte but not getting it with the first. only 4g. ??
only ONCE did I pick up a 4g LTE signal and it was in a T-Mobile store using the apn epc.T-Mobile.com but a little while after more specifically the after I went out LTE was lost and the speeds I saw were definitely LTE like. I don't know if it was just a fluke on the phone that displayed the signal wrong or that tmobiles refaring is getting allot more drastic allowing LTE

Does anyone know how to change the db in which our phones will connect to lte? I'd like mine to connect more often as lte is available now because the 3g upgrade means we list 3g where I live so it's either 4g or nothing. Before the upgrade I used to get 700 down and 200 up. Note I get 100 down and 10 up. One he'll of an upgrade. Thanks sprint.

The -xxx dBm is the signal strength for your voice and data, there isn't any way to enhance your strength without upgrading either you're towers, protrusions or even your own location
I steered away from this for a while after someone told me that AT&T doesn't use band 4 LTE. But I'm hearing isolated reports of people with LTE on straight talk getting 8 to 10 Mbps. I'm all stock right now and just got a new ST sim that works with "tfdata". Anyone care to share how they got it working?

You said you're all stock now. For LTE to work, you need to flash an LTE-capable radio. There are lots of threads that can help you with that, but here's one to start with: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2358931 [NOTE: I'm not sure all parts of that guide work with KitKat, so ask someone to make sure.]
Also, are you sure you're in one of the areas where AT&T has band 4 LTE? The easiest way to check is to go here: http://reboot.fcc.gov/spectrumdashboard/searchMap.seam
Click on your state, then filter by name (AT&T) and by license category (AWS-1). If your area doesn't show up there, you're out of luck. If it does, there's a chance, but no guarantee, that you can get LTE service.
I'm on Net10, which is functionally identical to Straight Talk for this kind of thing, and mine instantly worked once I activated a SIM card after LTE service went live. I got speeds as high as 18mbps down, but ping times were around 150 ms, not any better than HSPA. Also, I had issues where the radio would fail to switch back to HSPA sometimes after I left an LTE area, and I would have to go into the phone settings menu to disable LTE data to get it working again. Because of those issues, I haven't had LTE enabled lately, but I'll probably go back because there are areas I go where the HSPA network is too congested to get a usable connection.
Okay Thanx. I just confirmed AT&T doesn't have AWS (frq 1730 - 2135) in my area. However, MetroPCS, Verizon and T-Mobile did. How would you go about going with MetroPCS or Verizon?? I thought they were CDMA carriers.

So in the first floor of my office I usually connect to 3g and it's very slow, one day I decided to force the phone to stay on lte and I discovered my building has lte signal on the first floor as well. Why is my phone choosing to connect to 3g when there is 4g available?

What do you have your preferred network set to? LTE (recommended) or Global?

General speaking phones choose which one to use based on the signal strength(by dBm not by bars). So if you are in an area with a strong 3g signal but it also has a weak 4g signal, it will try to hold on to that 3g signal. Now I dont have sprint but I've had a few of the other carriers and that's how they worked.

Every android device I've had will choose the "best" network connection type, regardless of signal strength.
For example, my phone will always choose LTE over HSPA+ even when LTE signal is really poor and HSPA+ is good.
Hello,
Just switched from a nexus 5x to an honor 9 lite bought from Argos.
I have noticed the 4G signal reception being very poor compared to my previous phone.
I have also installed a tool called network discovery and it shows connected to band 3.
Is there a way to switch to band 20? I'm on EE network.
Has anyone experienced same issues?
Thank you all.
I'm on virgin that use EE not noticed this solid signal and 4G in strong areas
