    Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.

     

    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.

     

    Also, contact Sprint to confirm they are not having network issues.

    Well, I am not having issue connecting.   Although , Complete Coverage is a misgnomer here in Dallas.   My work is covered just fine but home has no LTE at all.   My issue is that when I leave and go back into an LTE covered area, the connection does not always succeed.  I often have to 'reboot' the phone to get the LTE to connect.   Although, once I do this, the connection is strong.
