But actually its not, the CDMA radio is connected to 1xRTT, that's what those signal bars are for and that is the reason it shows 1x. The lte radio is connected (if you're in a coverage area) but it is not reflected on those bars at all,its happening as a background process,as far as the os knows its connected to 1x for voice and text and the lte connection is just a normal network connection.
This is for sprint but the same applies here,its an android issue not a carrier issue.
On most phones the os at least correctly shows that it is connected to lte,but those signal bars still show 1x signal strength. Ours doesn't show the lte logo because of how pieced together our ril implementation is.
This might explain why I can no longer get data and talk at the same time
