Network changes back to 3G on Samsung S5

[Anonymous]

The Network mode on my Samsung Galaxy s5 keeps  switching back from 4g/3g/2g (auto connect) to 3g/2g.

I'm in a 4G reception area and I've had a 4G signal.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Your phone will always seek out the strongest signal where you are, which may not be an area where 4G is strong. It can be affected by many things, i.e. weather conditions, or if you're indoors or out.

I've noticed the same glitch on occasion too.
Set it to 4g then power off and back on again - it seems to stick if done this way.

Thanks. I've tried that. I'll let you know how I get on.

I don't think the issue is specific to Samsung either, as I've noticed it on other phones, so I guess it must be a glitch in Lollipop.

Unfortunately not. It stuck after the phone was restarted, but changed back to 3G/2G after coming out of Ultra Power Saving mode.

I've not had any problems recently so maybe an update has fixed my issue.
Make sure all your apps and firmware are up to date too.
