Those times you are driving and you get into a weak LTE zone, it will switch to 3G and take a while to return back to LTE. Can be annoying.
Got a tip for us?

No matter really. LTE is everywhere, so you shouldn't really ever see 3G. Thats why I use it, so it keeps LTE up.
I have good news to report. I'm getting 1-2 more bars at home and probably 25% faster data. Also, this is very interesting. While on the phone I was still connected LTE. I was getting 28 mbs down while on the phone. How about them apples.

It would be great if there was an article describing how this hack makes the improvements.
on my 5S (ATT), my signal strength went from -101 to -86! (my signal is usually pretty bad at home). having tried dl'ing yet, but..impressive...
EDIT:-79 tonite; so much better #s than i've ever gotten here.

I'm trying to download the IPCC Hack but I get the following message:
There was a problem connecting to the server "bellevuewa.asuscomm.com".
The file server will not allow any additional users to log on. try to connect again later.
I guess the server is full at the moment :c

How do I log into http://bellevuewa.asuscomm.com/?
I used itweak and ios as the username and password, but that didn't seem to work

I'm skeptical. How does one know the patch even applied? Last time I tried a carrier hack where the creator claimed to improve weak coverage, my phone still said AT&T 18.0 before, and AT&T 18.0 after.
My guess is the carrier file is designed for optimal balance between performance of speed, and performance of battery. If you increase the speed\transmission power, it'll use more battery.
Let me know how one tells if they have successfully installed it.
If it works, maybe I can peel off the 1998 antennae booster sticker from the back of my iPhone 6... LOL

So this allows the Personal Hotspot for Unlimited users? Seems like ATT would s*** bricks if they discovered it lol
But I'm tempted for a better signal

Two questions:
When it says "press shift and click RESTORE" is that RESTORE BACKUP... or RESTORE IPHONE... ???
Also, is it true I have to turn off find my iPhone to do this task?

Okay, so this has like destroyed my LTE and made it below 1mbps.. Not sure if I missed something.
When you restored did you click RESTORE IPHONE or RESTORE BACKUP to import the ipcc file?
And did it make you disable Find my iPhone to do it?
bear in mind it's OPTION-click if you're on a mac.
you turn off 'find my phone' (the app itself). the rest is as the directions say...

But OPTION click on "RESTORE IPHONE" or OPTION click on "RESTORE BACKUP" ??????
