Enable the Right Network Mode
of your phone is set to one that doesn't offer optimal coverage. Go to “Settings -> Mobile data -> Network mode,” then switch to the one that best suits your phone. As my phone is a 4G, I go for 2G/3G/4G Auto so that it always tries to connect to the best signal available.4G/LTE is faster than 3G, making it much easier to watch videos, play games, tweet and browse on your Apple iPhone 8.
On your iPhone, go to Settings > Cellular > Cellular Data Options and tap Enable LTE or Settings > Mobile Data and tap Enable LTE.
Re: Why does my 4G LTE drops to 3G
Usually because you've moved to an area that isn't covered by LTE service or your wireless device last lost connection with the LTE signal. Sometimes you can force your phone to search for an LTE signal if you're certain that you're in a covered area.Select Settings

- To enable 3G, select 3G.

Important information about choosing the No Data plan:
Android smartphone - group texts and picture/video messaging will not be available. If you do not have cellular data (and are not connected to WiFi) and have iMessage turned on, normal text messages will not be able to send or receive.It's absolutely OK to turn off Cellular Data if you have a minuscule data plan or you don't need internet when you're not at home. When Cellular Data is off and you're not connected to Wi-Fi, you can only use your iPhone to make phone calls and send text messages (but not iMessages, which use data).
First, swipe up on the home screen and tap on the Settings icon, and then tap on the Network & Internet selection. You should then tap on the Mobile Network menu, and then tap on the Advanced option. Finally, tap on the LTE selection for 4G access.

Mobile data is what allows your phone to get online when you're away from Wi-Fi. Mobile-enabled devices can send and receive information over a wireless cellular connection. We'll also go over some tips for using less data on your iPhone or Android device.

Hi, In iPhone, it's just an option to enable 4G and not an instruction for the mobile to work only with 4G. When there's no enough signal strength for 4G, the mobile automatically switches to the next lower radio signal network (3G or even 2G). Also, the network settings are always pushed by the network operator.
Lock your cellular data use settings

- Tap Don't Allow Changes.
There sure is. Go to "More" in the lower right corner and select Settings - There should be an option called "Offline Mode" or "Force Offline" at the top. Here, you can toggle online and offline mode.
Of course its safe to keep the mobile data on, but you should realise that some apps will be continuously using your data in the background, downloading updates or configuration changes, or just pinging a server to keep a network connection open. Because of this there will be a small drain on your data continuously.
Select Apps
- Select Apps.
- Scroll to and select Settings.
- Select More.
- Select Mobile networks.
- Select Preferred network mode.
- Select WCDMA/GSM (auto) to enable 3G and LTE/WCDMA/GSM (auto) to enable 4G.
To do this, go to settings and tap on “Wireless Networks” or “Connections.” From there, switch on Airplane mode and turn off your phone. Wait for half a minute and then turn your mobile phone back on. Go to the same settings section and turn off Airplane mode. After that, check if your mobile data is working again.
Turn mobile data on or off. You can limit your data usage by turning off mobile data. You'll then not be able to access the internet using the mobile network. You can still use Wi-Fi even though mobile data is turned off.
Android phones
Go to Settings > Mobile Networks > Network Mode. Here you will see if your phone has the option of selecting a 4G/LTE mode. If the mode is listed, your phone is 4G enabled.VoLTE stands for voice over LTE and it's more or less exactly what it says on the tin. It's voice calls over a 4G LTE network, rather than the 2G or 3G connections which are usually used.
To answer your question, no, the iPhone 8 will not support 5G networks. In fact, it doesn't even support the best version of LTE(Gigabit LTE)! I think we cannot day if it will or will not support 5G, until it's launched.
Switch between 3G/4G - Apple iPhone 8
- Select Settings.
- Select Mobile Data.
- Select Mobile Data Options.
- Select Voice & Data.
- To enable 3G, select 3G.
- To enable 4G, select 4G.
Answer: A: Yes, the phone will continue to work when 5G is released. But iPhone 8 will not be able to use 5G as it does not have a 5G modem in the phone and one cannot be installed. Still, the phone will continue to work on 4G networks just as it does today.
The iPhone 8 is the fastest iPhone ever, although it doesn't quite match up to gigabit LTE phones—and you have to be careful about which model you get. Our testing shows that the iPhone 8 supports 600Mbps speeds on US and Canadian networks, much like the Essential Phone PH-1 does.
