I picked up my Verizon iPhone 5 today. When it's on 3G ill have full signal (5 bars) and the Internet works great. When I go into settings & change to LTE my signal will drop down to 2 bars. And this consistently happens in different cities. Why is this? Does anyone else notice this on their iphone 5? I tried resetting and turning the phone off and on and still same problem. It even goes as bad as 1 bar of reception on lte.
Thanks
iPhone 5, iOS 6
I actually disagree; you can and should compare AT&T and VZW's LTE services - this will help you dictate which work better for you. I'm completely aware of the differences in their networks, however, the end result, as a user, should be on par with one another. The determining factor of which I will keep is a directly result of this.
It depends what you are trying to determine. If you are trying to determine which service to sign up for, I agree whole heartedly.
What I'm trying to figure out is what is wrong with my actual device, ie how is my iphone 5 working compared to S2 on Verizon LTE.
BTW, does anyone know does the S3 on verizon require a SIM card too or is that just the iPhone?
Central park west and 65. ATT 25Mb, VZW iPhone 1.4Mbs
Broadway and 82w near VZW Store. AT&T GS3 43Mb vs VZW iPhone 5 7Mbs
At home outside of Wilmington, DE I have 4 solid LTE bars and get between 5-9 down. At work in Wilmington I have 2 bars LTE and get between 1-5 down. Poor LTE either way. For what its worth, Galaxy SIII on Att LTE screams in wilmington at about 30 down.
Also in Wilmington with the weak signal I lose LTE, go to "o" and 3G etc, etc , etc.
Anyway, finally decided to replace the HW. I will let you know. Arrives Friday.
