Why does my iphone 5 always have E?
Recently I've noticed my iphone 5 always has E. When igo to school I turn airplane mode on I've done that for like a year. And then when i leave and turn it off ill always have an E. Or when I'm home ill have 4G but when I go out Or don't receive Wi-Fi it says E but then if I stay in that location and just turn airplane mode on and off it goes back to 4G. It's not where I'm at or a bad connection because I've never had this problem in these locations. Idont wanna have to keep doing that. It's getting more frequent. I have at&t and I hate it because of horrible service but I didn't think this would happen. Is it my iphone 5 or AT&T?
The 'E' means Edge.
Edge is one of 2 networks used by AT&T. This network is what allows you to make phone calls and connect to the internet. The other network is called 3G, this network is what the iPhone's use (obviously), and can be considerably faster than edge when surfing the web, depending on your location.
If you are on Wi-Fi and for some reason get a weak signal, the phone will switch to edge until the Wi-Fi signal is stronger.
- Why does my iPhone-to-PC pics & vids transfers always cut out constantly? Every time I plug my iPhone X into my laptop and transfer all pics and vids, i'm lucky if it's done 10 items in 10 minutes before it loses connection. I have to unplug then plug in again for another go. Takes hours to do 200 (mix of pics and videos). My mom has the same phone & PC, but hers transfers hundreds in about 4 minutes no problem. I've changed to a new cable. Same problem. PC 1 year old and it's done this since day 1.
- Why does my iPhone always start on the same song? Every time I play my music on my iPhone it starts at a song. But when I stop the music to go on about my day and am ready to listen to music again it'll be on the same song it started on before instead of the last song I actually listened to. Why does my phone do this?

- Why does my iPhone always say No SIM Installed? At least 10 times a day, my iPhone service stops working and a message pops up that says "No SIM Installed". The only thing that gets the network going again is to restart my phone. It's an iPhone 5 and I've only had it since December. No drops, no damage. It's a minor defect, but it still really bugs me. What should I do? Thanks. As a matter of fact, it did it again while I was trying to post this question.
