Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
My iPhone5, iOS 7.0.4, is periodically dropping LTE connection (and reverting to 3G). LTE is apparently available, because other devices in my hand at the time are showing LTE. When i do a hard reset it usually gets the LTE connection, but i have had to do it several times and its getting on my nerves :c
any ideas?

Tried everything up to step 5. So far, so good. We will see how it goes.
If a local tower does not have sufficient capacity for all of the nearby phones that "want" LTE at any given time the network will fall back to 3G for some phones. As LTE rollout is still in progress this problem will become less common as time goes on. In the US Verizon's LTE is so popular that fallback to EVDO is pretty common. And AT&T and T-Mobile started later than Verizon, so they are likely to have this problem also. Sprint is way behind, because they started with a different 4G technology, and had to switch rather late in the game to LTE.
Hello,
Im live in Italy, I buy 5S 2 day ago, before I have 5. after that my new iPhone drop 4G very often, before in same place i have stable iPhone 5 on 4G network.
Now often I found it in 3G network, I have 2 bars in 4G meanwhile I have 3 bars in 3G, seems it prefer 3G becouse it has better signal.
Have you some info about it ?
Thanks

I have done several hard resets and removed and re-inserted the SIM card. The issue seems to have gone away for now. It may have been fixed by the actions i took, or it may have just been an issue with the cellular network that resolved itself. hard to tell.
best of luck
