There is a list of the reasons that could be the culprit: Why is LTE/4G/Volte not showing or working?

Let’s do this in FixItKunal’s Way.

To fix the VoLTE or LTE not working, Firstly, Toggle the Airplane mode, then Reselecting the preferred network connection can also be helpful. Moreover, Enable VoLTE from settings. In the end, If nothing works, reset the network settings to it.

If that’s the scenario, you should try all the steps below. 

4 Fixes to Apply in LTE/4G/VoLTE errors

Turn on and off airplane mode

1. Turn On and Off Airplane Mode 

Yup! That’s a small task, but if you implement this on your phone, then this could quickly fix LTE or volte not showing. 

  1. Turn On the Airplane Mode and wait until the network stops showing (wait until the network bars switch into the airplane icon).
  2. Now turn it off after 2-5 Minutes. This might fix this problem.

2. Reselecting Preferred Network Connection

Change preferred network type

Every smartphone has different bands which control network stability. If your device Initially shows 4G, now it stops showing it. Then the main culprit is the Preferred Network Connection because it changes it whenever there’s a low or poor signal strength of 4G to GSM or WCDMA. 

  1. Open Settings 
  2. Find & Select SIM Card & Mobile Data 
  3. Then Tap on the Default Mobile Data SIM card.
  4. Here you will see Preferred Network Type > Tap on it. 
  5. Now select 5G/4G/3G/2G to get 4G. 

I don’t recommend selecting only 4G because this may cause voice call errors and interrupted calls. Also read: How to fix No SIM Card error on any device.

If VoLTE (Voice over LTE) is not showing on your phone, there are a few possible reasons:

  1. Your phone may not be compatible with VoLTE: Not all phones are VoLTE compatible. Check with your phone manufacturer or carrier to see if your phone supports VoLTE.
  2. Your carrier may not support VoLTE: VoLTE requires carrier support, so if your carrier doesn’t offer VoLTE service in your area or for your specific phone, you won’t be able to use it.
  3. Your phone may not have the latest software update: Make sure your phone has the latest software update, as some older software versions may not have VoLTE functionality.
  4. VoLTE may be disabled in your phone’s settings: Check your phone’s settings to see if VoLTE is enabled. Depending on your phone and carrier, you may need to turn on VoLTE in your phone’s settings to use it.

You may be in an area with poor network coverage: VoLTE requires a strong LTE signal to work correctly. If you’re in an area with poor network coverage, VoLTE may not be available.

Try these steps one by one until you identify and fix the issue. If none of the above steps work, you may need to contact your carrier or take your device to a professional technician for further assistance.

This could fix almost all network-related issues. It won’t delete data.
