Trouble connecting to 4G. Only wants to be on 3G.

[FutureRoscoe]

Everything about this phone blows me away except this little issue I'm having.

My Original Droid and my GNex never had any problem with 4G. I got very good reception at my apartment. Always. I'd be pulling 25-30Mbps down and about 12-15Mbps up.

Now that I have the LG G2 it seems to refuse to connect to 4G. Literally the only way I can get it to do so is by having Data turned on and restarting the phone. When it finished booting up it will be connected to 4G for about 5 minutes. Then it will bump down to 3G where it gives me about 2Mbps download. Uhg! This isn't even just in my apartment too. Anywhere I've been in the city over the last week.

Anyone else experiencing this? I've always had good 4G reception until this phone.

Meh

Had the same issue with my new g2. Seems as though some of the new pre-installed sims have this issue. Once I got it replaced at the Verizon store i haven't had the issue since.

Hmmm. Mine isn't a pre-installed sim. We just moved the sim over from my GNex.

That's weird. I had the exact problem you had only with the pre-installed sim. Still might be worth trying a new. It would be easier than the other thing the Verizon rep had mentioned(master reset)

I went and got a new sim card. It does seem to have done the trick. I'll let it go for a day or two before I claim indisputable victory. I think it's going to be fine though!

Thanks for the tip!!!!!
