The Zenfone V loses network connection multiple times a day, requiring restarts, because the "preferred network type" is set to "GSM/WCDMA/LTE" but must be changed to "LTE".
How I changed to "Preferred network mode: LTE" without issue:
1. Get "SHORTCUT MASTER LITE" from apkmirror.com
2. open the app
3. Press the (...) button on the top right > App Explorer
4. Scroll down and press: "com.qualcomm.qti.networksetting"
--(It has a picture of a phone next to it)
5. Press MobileNetworkSettings > Launch > Preferred network type > LTE
6. done (may need reboot)
This is a classic network issue but not clearly fixed for the Zenfone V because the setting is absent in the usual Settings > Wireless & Networks... More > Mobile Networks. There Are lengthy threads at Verizon and Asus about this connection problem.
