Switching to 3G

My Droid Turbo keeps switching to 3G. My coworker who sits next to me has full bars of 4G, yet my phone seems to switch to 3G and then stay there. If I restart, it will go to 4G for an hour or two but then switch again. I did a factory reset, tried global, LTE/CDMA and LTE/GSM/UMTS cellular networks. I don't want to go to the Verizon store and have service hand me another phone, I would prefer to fix mine.

Perhaps try a new free SIM replacement from a corporate store, or order one from Verizon in Live Chat or over the phone.

I noticed it about 3 weeks ago. I slowly started uninstalling apps (I only download from Google Play) but I could not get it to stop.

For the factory reset, I followed the steps provided on the Verizon Wireless website found at Perform a Factory Data Reset (Device Powered Off) - DROID TURBO by Motorola | Verizon Wireless

The only apps I have re downloaded from the Google Play store are:

1. Android Wear (for my smartwatch).

2. Bills Reminder

3. CVS Pharmacy

4. Drone Mobile

5. Yahoo Fantasy Sports

6. Keeper

7. Map My Walk

8. Our Groceries

9. Outlook

10. Simple Volume

11. Sleep

12. TD Bank

13. The Score

14. Yahoo news

All other apps were pre-loaded.

Thanks,

Kyle

That seems to work. Is there any way to diagnose which app? Or do I need to uninstall / reinstall until I find it?

Thanks,

Kyle
