I have never been able to connect automatically, as I have a tri band phone. I can force connect for about 10 seconds using my app LTE Discovery, by starting the network app. It shuts down all signals, restarts, and if LTE is there it tells you so with band width. I can see Lte and a different voice program (sorry can't remember which one) for about 10 seconds, then it reverts back to ehrpd. the signals are strong along Hamden from I25 to Kennedy Golf Course... What band do you think I am picking up? Thanks
