Verizon iPhone 5s only showing 3G?

Happened a couple weeks ago. My iphone just wouldn't go back to 4g. It seems like it's 4g speeds though the internet and stuff still loads really fast it just doesn't show lte like it usually does just 3G. Is this a SIM card problem or what?

Try turning on Airplane mode, count to 20 then turn it off. If that doesn't solve your problem Go to Settings-Cellular-(Make sure LTE is on)

A soft reset (retains all user data) can also help if none of the above worked.

Hold the Sleep/Wake button along with the home button down until the phone shuts off, turn the phone back on and it should be on LTE.

Resetting the Network Settings in Settings-General-Reset-Reset Network Settings is also an alternative

Hope one of these works!

  • Why does my Verizon iphone 5 only say 3G at the top? My iphone 5 has verizon and i can connect to LTE but when i turn it off it still has the "3G" icon at the top and i thought the iphone 5 was 4g. How do i turn the 4G on? My friends phone said the actual words "4g"on her 4s, but with AT&T. Can i get my phone to actually say 4G?
  • Verizon iPhone 4 stuck on shutter after screen replacement? Only rear camera works? After replacing a cracked screen on a verizon iphone 4 the frontfacing camera is stuck on shutter, while the rear camera only works sometimes… I have tried checking the connections, as well resetting everything and even restoring. I have heard about possibly jumping something on the logic board but can't find where, a picture would be great.
  • Verizon iphone 4 only works when plugged in? My girlfriends verizon iphone 4 only works when it is plugged in. The battery is new because we had it replaced recently… The only thing is that it only comes on when it is plugged in. Can it be something loose? Because it was taken apart before?
  • Twitter updates only showing on e-mail? So when I turn on my iPhone, twitter updates show up saying so and so favortied my tweet or retweeted my tweet and things like that. But when I go into twitter, it doesn't show up. I'll try to see who favorited my tweet, and it will only show the first person who favorited it. When I go to my e-mail, it will say people favorited and retweeted as well. But on both my iPhone and computer they don't show up. Any way to fix this?
