wah..sad..now cannot go back edge..my batt cannot tahan  lo.

lol ya..too excited bout lte..now fully on 3g..my area here no lte coverage also

Bro, need to start to stop worrying bout the battery performance to enjoy our phone full/max features...

Low batt, just charge. I'm a happier person after started to neglect my batt performance...

Can't force it to be on 2G and reception is bad at my office.

So now its by default on 3G always right ? 10 hours of battery life will be a misleading statement alrd.

Apparently this can be configured by the telco. However it seems that Maxis is setting it (for the time being) that toggle LTE off meaning disabling 4G only but the phone will run 3G/2G mode. Would appreciate it if Maxis could configure the toggle off LTE to be using only 2G while enabling it will run 3G/4G.

How to update the cArrier setting?

Speedtest achieve 52mbps at PJ ss19 area..ip5 show 3g logo...consider LTE speed or 3g speed ?

previous Maxis 3G before LTE enable only managed to get 7Mbps..

I will Drive to TTDI later see if Real "LTE logo show at my iphone5...will update again.

Nope !!!

I am still in 6.1.2 and getting LTE speed at about 50Mbps download speed but when disable LTE, it will go down to 3G with about 5Mbps download speed.

So, I think it is not related to iOS version.

Top bar is showing LTE when I enabled LTE in the settings. 

whao, maxis got so fast? Digi is less than 1mbps man in Kuching area. 

 
Maxis LTE won't be so fast reach kuching, heard from a source it will only hit Borneo on June

What? Really?
Anyone else having this issue?

yep...
but than those already upgrade to LTE, need to off the LTE if no LTE coverage or else u will have problem with the speed..
my iphone 5 with LTE enable speed less than 1mbps 
with LTE off, easily hit 10mbps 

Mine... Desa Hartamas area

What about the battery life? Because 3G network consumes, like, 5x more than when the phone is on 2G network.
As long as it doesn't affect battery life, I'm fine with it.

Hrm... Let me try.

1. Ip5 for msia set is using LTE band 1, 3 and 5. Band 3 is 1800 MHz. In Msia, current LTE frequency available was 2600 MHz. Band 1 and 5 isn't 2600 MHz

2. Recently Maxis got the green light from MCMC on the LTE spectrum on 1800 MHz, which is band 3.

3. So Maxis can now launch LTE for iP5.

4. To enable LTE, there is an carrier update needed. After update, you will get carrier Maxis 14.1 version. This update will change your previous setting, which is "Enable 3G" to "Enable LTE" for iP5, and ipad lte i suppose.

5. LTE is basically a data network. It will mainly stay in LTE, until someone calls you, it will quickly switch back to 3G to use back on the voice network.

Cheers.

I just found out...My Xperia Z LTE device is always strong LTE signal VS iPhone5 LTE..My Area is Taman Pusat Kepong ..

Just wondering...Any Dif Between both Maxis LTE Band7 (2600Mhz) with iPhone5 Band 3(1800Mhz)

I believe that the sequence is as follow:

LTE > 3G > Edge > GPRS ?

Basically, if no strong LTE signal is detected, it will fall back to 3G. And similarly, if 3G signal is weaker than Edge, it will fall back to Edge.

Just that for now, we no longer can control if we want 3G or Edge as that Enable 3G button is no longer available.
So far, I have no problems with the auto switching of 3G to LTE and from LTE to 3G. One easy way you can test is when making calls. When you are making a call, your phone will seamlessly change from LTE to 3G. Once done, it will again seamlessly switch back to LTE from 3G. Did that a few times for testing.

with this update.. we can never change to Edge anymore.... it will constantly on 3G.. unless when there is no coverage.. it will automatically switch to Edge...

and now.. thanks to this update... with the 3G on all the time.. battery would consume very fast...

Then this is really sad lor... Time to google how US or EU force change to certain network mode.. And from your report, could be they programmed such that to stay on 3G, then if no 3G only switch back to 2G. But can you imagine the battery life being drained? Since the 3G signal is weaker, it keeps trying to search more? 

something to share with you guys...

the situation is like this... my house area is with low 3G coverage (happy garden, kuchai lama) and previously i tend to toggle off 3G and Data toggle remain on. Yes, it saves battery...

but when the 3G toggle and Data toggle is ON, the network automatically switch back to Edge doesn't help you to save any battery because your phone will keep on searching for a 3G network (even 1bar like christcwl9 said)

to my conclusion, with the latest carrier update... u can't stop battery drainage already even thou it drops automatically from 3G to Edge... maybe there is a jbtweak that can force the phone permanently on Edge only? LOL...

by the way, no LTE connection around Happy Garden.. (although maxis claimed there is a coverage... zzz)

yeap .. before this people complain about the phone swithcing to other data and some even complain the phone very hard to get 3G line... with this update, it might please some of the maxis user here..

however,, i am more on the average user... will only switch to 3G when want to reply iimportant mail , sending mail.. download huge attachments for working purposes or assignment and FB of coruse..

the rest, i will switch up to Edge.. for whatsapp..

it would be nice if we can toggle between 2G and 3G.. so that we can have an option to choose.. 

apple won't listen our request for this as only Malaysia users facing this problem... while other countries have brilliant LTE or at least 3G infrastructure...
Apple not likely will release another extra toggle for the 2G connection... u can pray for a jbtweak IMO
