iPhone 5::No Data on 4G only LTE

LTE is basically 4G. Depending on the carrier, some call it 4G and some LTE. If you are getting LTE, then you probably won't be getting 4G it will go from 3G to LTE. But its basically the same thing. in Fact LTE is generally a little faster than 4G.

under Settings > Cellkular ...

it says that LTE loads data faster (my 5s/32 says that any way).

I turned off LTE .. and just use Cellular.

Some learned people have pointed out that the system is not up and running for LTE yet ... I don't know.

My 5s/32 keeps losing finger prints and keeps shutting off phone calls now;

That just started about 8 days ago .. when I saw the signal strength buttons on the upper left of the screen start to travel up and down the scale.

I also could not use any of the Apps for a while with just 1 of the 5 dots filled up.

I turn on Airplane Mode and then back on to regular .. that apparently resets the system and the iPhone starts to search for a cellular tower to hook up with.

Finds the Verizon source .. and only 1 out of 5 buttons filled up .. or 2 .. in a big city it is 5 out 5.

I live out in the country.

I am at a loss and Apple Care nor the Genius can sort it out either ...

The iPhone is not on fire or smoking ... nothing permanent is broken .. it just a failure to operate from time to time.

Seems to be completely software related ...

Anyhow .. for me .. a turn off of the LTE helps it work better.

AT&T calls their HSPA+ "4G" and differentiates it from 4G LTE.

Any suggestions before I start a support ticket with Apple?

Contact AT&T. They've been having some network issues in the last couple of days.
