If you’re wondering why AT&T LTE isn’t functioning, keep reading to learn how to repair it. Have you recently been disappointed by your LTE connection, or has it completely stopped working? This can be a frustrating situation, but don’t be concerned.

There are a few things you can do to help yourself, such as calling your carrier’s customer service number. 

TURN THE AIRPLANE MODE ON AND OFF

Even though it’s easy, it’s one of the most effective ways to solve this problem. If you discover that your mobile data isn’t working as it should, try turning off and on the airplane mode.

You may accomplish this by carefully sliding the notification bar and then touching the aircraft symbol. This can also be accomplished through the use of settings.

It may also vary based on the Android phone you are using.

Navigate to Wireless & networks »> Airplane mode from the settings menu.

It can be turned on for a few seconds before being turned off. Most of the time, this is all that is required to resolve the issue.

RESTART THE DEVICE

Restart your device if the first approach indicated above did not work. To do so, press and hold the power button for a few seconds before restarting. Wait a few seconds for it to restart.

Check your status icon after it’s turned back on, and also test the LTE connection’s speed by downloading and accessing some websites.

MAKE SURE YOU’VE GOT THE RIGHT NETWORK TURNED ON

There should be at least three distinct types of connections depending on your provider and mobile phone: 2G, 3G, and 4G LTE, or simply LTE in certain devices.

In most cases, your mobile device will attempt to connect to the quickest and most accessible network. However, if you continue to fiddle with your settings or have just installed an update, it will need to be modified manually.

Take the following steps:

Select Mobile Network from the drop-down menu in Settings. Select Network as your operating system. The desired modes will be listed in a pop-up menu. Choose between LTE and auto.  

READJUST THE SIM

If the above mentioned procedures do not work, the next step is to remove your SIM card and carefully adjust it.

This is critical because the SIM card may get misaligned when you use or throw your phone. To do so, carefully expel it from its tray and reposition it.

You must, however, be cautious when replacing it. Your LTE service should now be operational.

MAKE SURE YOU’RE USING THE RIGHT SIM SLOT

Some phones that have several SIM slots only support LTE in one of them. Your LTE will not operate if you don’t know this and put the SIM in the wrong slot. As a result, you must remove it and replace it in the proper position.

RESET YOUR NETWORK

If none of the previous methods work, reboot your network.

Take the following steps to get started:

Go to Settings, then Reset/Backup then Reset. Tap it softly. Tap the network settings reset option from the outline that appears. It’s vital to know that this will wipe out any network settings, Bluetooth pairings, stored Wi-Fi networks, and so on. If you’re not sure, just tap Reset Settings. If you have a PIN, you will be asked to enter it. You must do so, then confirm before resetting.

After you’ve performed all of these steps, wait a few minutes for a new network configuration to appear.

If nothing happens, restart the phone. Another alternative you could consider is a factory reset, however, this should only be used as a last resort if nothing else has worked.

CONTACT AT&T

After you’ve exhausted all other options, you’ll need to contact your carrier. This is easier to achieve on social media since you may more directly address your issue.

You may also contact their toll-free number at 800-331-0500 or enter 611 if you’re on an AT&T phone.

CONCLUSION

Hardware difficulties are the most common cause of the LTE connection disappearing. If you throw your gadget in the trash, the inside hardware may be damaged.

You may need to take it to an approved repair shop at this point to get it fixed. If this is happening on a brand-new gadget, it suggests the device is malfunctioning and needs to be investigated.

Return it to the store where you purchased it. If it’s a manufacturing defect, you should obtain a replacement.
