3G showing???

[thatoneguy82]

I exchanged my AT&T with a VZW yesterday and promptly turned them on. Out of the box after I turned, it already started showing the signal bars "AT&T"/"Verizon" 4G/LTE (for AT&T) and just LTE for the VZW version.


To clarify this is for talking about 2 different devices: AT&T new iPad & Verizon new iPad

Did you test it outside of your house? If you look at the Verizon terms of service, you'll see that they don't guarantee service inside home.

Yes it was outside our house.

The Verizon iPad doesn't work on AT&T's LTE frequencies (and vice versa). But the AT&T iPad will say "4G" when it's connected to HPSA+ networks.

I know. I was saying that it showing that it only because that's what displayed on the screen of my previous iPad. Not the same iPad all in one.

Update: I turned off cellular data last night bc I was at am and just needed wifi, why waste data plan? So today I wake up and LTE is showing!

That's good but I didn't turn it back on.lol when I'm at home I only have wifi on and turn off LTE and cellular data off in settings.

Why you need to turn Data off? Once you connect to a wifi, you data won't be use.

I had to do it to get the wifi on. I am at home w wifi and the iPad will try to connect w LTE.

As I suspected, my neighborhood is in an LTE dead zone. I drove a few miles down the road and LTE lit up with 56/19 on the speed test. Coming back home it rolled back over to 3G about 1/2 mile from my house.
