iPhone 5 wifi/4g issues

[Loves2spoon]

I don't have LTE in my area and some weird things happen to my signal bars.

When I have LTE off and WiFi on I only get 3 bars of 4G. When WiFi is off I get 5 bars of 4G.

When I'm in an area with LTE I always have 5 bars with or without WiFi. Anyone have any ideas? I live and work by 2 cell towers, I've restored as new and reset network settings. Even got a new nano sim card, still had a few dropped calls - never happened before in my area with any iPhone I've had.

Maybe you're over analyzing it? Not maybe, you are
I dont check all the time if I get 3 bars or 5 bars. Those will vary.
Walk a few feet away and they will flunctuate. Also where you are, building type, basement, walls, other structures will cause things like that.
