On your device go to settings>about phone>status scroll down to signal strength you'll see a number that begins with -xx db. This measure of your signal strengh is more accurate than those bars.
-45 dB is extremely good (the tower is very close possibly across the street while -75 to -85 is good and -95 is week but usable and -105 is dead.
Fellow members feel free to correct me if im wrong.

It is bouncing between -75 and -80 dbm. So I am guessing that is not a Verizon tower out there?

Try this application to get both signal strengths.

Switches back to 3g as soon as I step into the building. I thought 4g was built to better penetrate building?

Are you using the LTE OnOff app? Can you please try to change your phone to LTE only in the building? Just to see if the signal type changes.
I wonder if the building has 3G repeaters that are overriding the 4G LTE signal.
And yes the 700 mhz bands that Verizon is using for LTE is supposed to get through building construction better than the other bands.

I switched to LTE only and get -77dbm CDMA and -120 dbm EVDO. Only get the 1x symbol now up top. Isnt that the voice network?
