If you think the network is poor or goes unavailable when traveling, etc, you can switch between the automatic and manual mode. To simplify it, the automatic mode is the default and instructs the system to automatically search for available network and register while the manual mode needs manual search and registration. The automatic mode is helpful when in cities, towns with strength-y networks but when you are talking about traveling or going to villages or far-off places, you need a manual mode for better network reception.

Tweak ‘Preferred Networks’

Another set of features that your phone supports is the ‘Preferred Networks’ section which essentially allows users to switch between 2G, 3G, and 4G. By default, the phone will search for networks in the highest band support such as 4G (in 4G-enabled devices). If the 4G network is not available at the moment, you can freely instruct the phone to search for 3G or even 2G network which enables calling and texting if not fastest internet access. You can set it via “Settings >> Networks (SIM) >> Preferred Networks >> 4G/3G/2G (auto)”.
