Should Your Cell Phone Network Be Set To Automatic Or Cdma/lte

1. 

   I have ever been told all my Verizon devices should exist set to LTE/CDMA rather than Global network type. Does it make a departure and does anyone know why? The reason I ask is that I was in a VZW corporate shop today and looked at another Turbo and noticed it was getting 5 bars of 4G and a bespeak of -62dBm. Mine was just getting 3 bars at -100 something. I checked the settings further and the display phone was on Global. I inverse mine to Global and afterwards a couple of flashes mine also went to 5 bars and -62 dBm.

   At my business firm I always accept 3 to 4 confined, but at present when I got home I merely had one. Set information technology back to LTE/CDMA and it went back to my usual signal forcefulness. How does this work? Is it because Global uses a unlike band that is not available on the tower nearly my firm?

   I am having the aforementioned problem.

   Every bit far equally I know, when yous are in the U.s. at that place is no difference - your phone uses LTE/CDMA anyway. When you travel out of the state, though, that's when global kicks in - it lets the phone connect to GSM/UMTS networks too.

   i have never seen an absolutely definitive answer to this question.
   some people say its meliorate on battery life to have it set to lte/cdma.
   i've heard if you accept good verizon coverage to set it to lte/cdma.
   when i'grand in the bomb shelter hither it gives me a popup asking if i want to turn on global mode.
   every verizon phone i take ever had has used global every bit default, why would they do it if information technology was merely for out of the country?
   are unlike phones affected differently by this setting?
   maybe a verizon tech can enlighten united states.

   They brand global the default and then that non-technical people who travel don't have to monkey with the settings.

   It won't injure the phone to switch it. Yous did find the ane time yous see a deviation in the states - when y'all have no signal information technology will offer to effort to connect to a GSM network. If you find yourself in those conditions often, by all ways switch. If y'all'll never travel, past all means switch. I've been out of the country twice in the concluding four months so I just go out it global.

   I had service issues from my house in SE WI. Had global turned on. Contacted tech back up and was told to switch off the global network. Solved issue. Not certain why it would have caused an issue in the first place.

   I noticed a better indicate in NYC expanse by switching to LTE/CDMA. Perhaps it helped battery as well. I was ever nether the impression that they both use difference bands, but I have never received an official answer. I'd have to phone call Verizon corporate and hope that I become a level ii tech that actually knows this respond. Regular Verizon store reps will double talk until they're blue in the face.

    Have a Note 3, just changed from GLOBAL to LTE/CMDA - no change. two to three bars & 100 to 105 db. Bespeak strength seemed to change for the better with the upgrade to 4.4.four (from 120-125db to 100-105 db).

    I flipped it back and forth a few times sitting in my living room, no change in signal dbm reading.

    I usually don't see a change either when I switch....EXCEPT when I was in the Verizon store and it fabricated a huge divergence equally Global mode had a much stronger betoken. Perhaps they have some blazon of repeater or mini tower in there that broadcasts on a frequency that merely Global picks upwards? All the devices I checked in the store were set to Global.

    I actually take a slightly meliorate 4G betoken @ dwelling on Global.

    That makes my tin foil hat tingle...

    Global just means that the phone volition wait for GSM / UMTS signals where they accept roaming agreements when a CDMA / LTE bespeak doesn't exist. As far equally I know, Verizon doesn't roam to any GSM carrier in the US (AT&T, T-Mobile). The betoken will non be unlike - there is only ane radio, one mobile antenna. Battery life may be slightly worse merely in the case when you take a weak CDMA betoken - the phone will offset looking for GSM signals, which it will not be able to connect to anyway.

How does this piece of work? Is it because Global uses a different band that is not available on the tower almost my house?

    I have used Boost for years and just got a nice new phone and have had the worst service ever. I noticed my connection settings are on automatic I don't have a global setting and was doing some research myself trying to figure it out. I believe only in theory that the reason for not having a strong consistent signal recently is because my phone is more ofttimes searching for a better one and disables the current signal while doing that. I'chiliad going to try switching back to LTE/CDMA mode and see if it makes a difference. Not a tech wiz but it makes sense to me.
