When your phone is showing “E” instead of “4G”, it means that your phone is currently connected to a 2G or 3G network. The “E” stands for EDGE (Enhanced Data rates for GSM Evolution), which is a type of 2G technology that provides data transfer rates up to 384 kbps (kilobits per second).
There are several reasons why your phone may display “E” instead of “4G”:
Network coverage: If you are in an area with poor 4G coverage, your phone may automatically switch to a slower 2G or 3G network to ensure that you can still make calls and access the internet, albeit at a slower speed.
Network congestion: If there are too many users connected to the 4G network in your area, your phone may switch to a 2G or 3G network to alleviate network congestion and provide a more stable connection.
Phone settings: It’s possible that your phone may be set to prioritize 2G or 3G connections over 4G, either by default or due to a setting that you have changed.
If you would like to switch back to 4G, you can try the following:
Check your phone’s settings to ensure that it is set to prioritize 4G connections.
Move to an area with better 4G coverage.
Contact your mobile service provider to ensure that your account is set up to access 4G networks.
