Default [Q] signal strength problem? switching between 3G & 4G

I have noticed that someone had suffered the same weak signal problem. After several days' observation, I have found my A2 had always full bars when the network is in 'G' but much fewer bars when it is in '4G' !! And it switches between 'G' and '4G' network automatically and I found no way to somehow fix it to only 'G' type !!!

Anyone have any idea how to fix the network type ??

Thanks in advance !!!

I constantly switch from 2 bars of edge to 1 of 4g and it is very annoying >.>

While it may be annoying to look at, are you actually loosing any data? Mine does the same thing but I usually don't ever see a drop in speed. Some times it does drop to G and then I will see a loss. Its usually not from 3 or 4G though.

You shouldn't notice any difference in a drop from 4g to 3g at all unless you live in one of the six major cities its launched in... Hahaha. I don't pay attention to signal type because of that very reason (unless of course its edge).

The annoyance for me isn't really the icon change, its the no signal for a moment while it switches over aspect.
