Automatic switching to LTE
Hi folks, I am using an iPhone 15 pro max. For those that know Vancouver, I ride the West Coast Express and find that through Burnaby and into East Vancouver, my phone has pretty mediocre service in...
5G through Burnaby and East Van can be spotty, especially since your 15 Pro Max isn't auto-switching like it should. To fix this for your commute, go to Settings > Cellular > Cellular Data Options > Voice & Data and select LTE. This will lock your phone to the LTE network, preventing it from constantly dropping your connection while hunting for a weak 5G signal.
Thanks. I’ll likely do that. I was curious if there was an issue with the auto switching. Appreciate it.

It can be the device as it depends on Apple's handling of low/weak signal. Sometimes phones will stick to a low signal over bumping down to a slower, stronger signal.
Let us know if that works!
Seemed to! Still a couple of dead areas by Barnet Marine Park in Port Moody/Burnaby, but otherwise LTE seemed to do it. Just a shame it won't automatically switch. Thanks!
