Iphone 5 dropping from LTE to 4G every time i make a call.

[sd13]

Every time i place a phone call, my iphone 5 drops from LTE to 4G. Regardless of which area im located at. LTE returns a few minutes after i end the call. Is anyone else having this issue? I did a complete restore and the problem still exists.

No lte data and voice at the same time, att will switch to 4g for voice+data.

This is normal because currently no US cellular company supports voice over LTE and the iPhone lacks the ability to have an LTE and a non-LTE signal at the same time.

It's supposed to. LTE is for data. 4G is for voice.

It's normal for the iPhone to drop from LTE to 4G (hspa+). Be fortunate that you still get 4G speeds while on a call because on Verizon and sprint you will not get any data while on a call.

Ok great, i did not know this. Is it normal for it to take up to 1-2 minutes to go back to LTE?

 

[Intell]

Yes.

I just tested this and mine switches back to LTE in slightly under 30 seconds every time and I tried 5 times.

The delay is probably to prevent needless switching if you make several calls on a row.

My iPhone 5 on Bell also drops to 3G ("4G") when making a call. Normal.

The real kicker is att secretly throttles data while on a call. The nest data speed u will get is around 500 mpbs to 800 Kbps. You will not even get 1-2mpbs data on a voice call.

Att is sneaky. Try a speed test while on a data call

Anybody with an iPhone 4 try it, you'll get much faster speeds while on a phone call then with a 4S or a 5.

It's not phone specific. It's all smartphones att secretly throttles while on voice call. They figure most people won't notice the difference cause most are talking.

im having an issue where my att i5 drops LTE when i make a call but doesnt switch to anything else..thus im left with no cellular data while making a call...stopped by the att store and they said there is something wrong with the phone and made an appointment for me with apple to get a replacement...this sucks as my black i5 was flawless other wise..

I would have to go with this.

It's normal like everyone else said- but it will be a couple seconds. Maybe longer if LTE not strong in your are?
