Difference between Global and LTE/CDMA?

It seems Global mode was causing significant issues with my DNA. For the past 6 months or so I have been getting terrible 4G signals and frequent shut downs of the phone. The shut downs were happening at least twice a day. I just happened to poking around in the network settings and noticed my Preferred network was set at Global. I changed it to LTE/CDMA and my phone has come back to life. No more shut downs going on three weeks now and I swear it is running faster than it did before. I have no idea how it got put on Global. Why in the Hell would Global mode cause my phone to randomly shut down. Very odd. Granted its only been three weeks but it was happening at least twice a day up until I changed that setting. Very weird.

For 2 week my S5 when in an area of no service would never recover service without a reboot. Today I decided to switch from Global to LTE/CDMA mode and so far I recovered service with no issues after testing it in the known dead spot where I work that was giving me problems. It also seems like I have more bars now for voice too. From what others are experiencing here I will leave it on this mode from now on.

My phone is doing the same thing! Gonna have to switch to LTE/CDMA and give it a shot... very frustrating!
