lukefow_2033993 Sounds obvious but maybe a few pointers (normally your phone will automatically connect to the strongest signal possible so toggling isn't strictly necessary):
- Is your Huawei device 4G compatible
- Are you in an area with 4G coverage, or is it weak? (you can check this using signal apps)
- Could there be congestion in your area, in which case the 3G maybe works better than the 4G
As mentioned by Strandloper perhaps it has been inadvertently set to '3G' in which case you should toggle this by going to Settings > Wifi & Network > Sim & Network > Preferred network type

my phone will stay on 3g until i restart it, then it immediately goes to 4g, it is not congestion or a network fault because it happens in every area
