Manual switching between LTE and 4G
Hi everyone, There are times where the cellular signal on my iPhone 11 shows only 1 or 2 bars with LTE showing, but data won't work. I can't open a website, use iMessage, or use applications like ESPN or Reddit. Normally happens when I am in the back of department store, visiting a small town, or up in the mountains. However, I found that if I manually switch Cellular Data options from LTE to 4G, suddenly data works. Signal may still show 2 bars or it may jump up to 3 or 4, but data flows regardless.
The option to switch is nice, but having to do it manually and then later switch it back is annoying. Many users probably don't even know they can do it.
It seems to automatically use a lesser service if that is all that is available, but if there is even a hint of LTE signal it focuses on that. Does anyone know a solution to make it automatically switch to the best functioning service, not just try to force the fastest available service even when its unusable.
iPhone 11, iOS 14
