Thought it was interesting to find out today that when I put my Thunderbolt near my weather radio the radio started buzzing loudly.
To see if it was the phone itself or 4G I switched to 3G only and the buzzing stopped. It also stopped on WiFi. So, looks like 4G and weather radios don't mix....at least at a distance of 2 feet or less.
Any idea what could cause the interference?

Happens with pretty much all phones that have a sim card.

Probably unrelated, but I read on here when the phone first came out that the LTE wasn't dead-on the exact frequency intended by Verizon -- that it had to be changed at the last minute due to interference with the FAA.

I've used both the MR2 and 2.5 radios and both have the same issue. Whenever it's loading something 4G drops in and out constantly. The icon disappears and then reappears. Does anyone else have this problem? I'm in the Chicago area so getting a 4G signal.isn't an issue.

well, i had consistant 3G signal in a known 4G area. started out all good, with solid 4G, then slowly started to loose 4G all together. drop data completely ect. then i could just not pick up 4G unless i had full bars, and even then, it was slow (around 5mbps downloads)
tried a new SIM card, nothing
got a new phone yesterday and everything is perfect now. we'll see how it is after a couple weeks though.
Is it possible that it could be the antenna on the extended battery cover?

Could be. I know that without a battery cover on my phone, I can only get 1x. So you may be on to something. Check the contacts on the cover to make sure they are not bent and getting good contact inside.
I am not in 4g area but I am having same issues on 3g, it will just cut out randomly, it will stop downloads, it will disconnect me from gtalk. I am on mr2.5 radio. Think its Verizon/ LTE issues, but its getting old.

I"m in chicago and have this ****ing issue as well. it's really pissing me off. happens when i tether and load too many pages at once on the computer. 4g disappears for a second or two then reappears, but i can't connect to internet on the tethered computer. speedtest app on phone will work just fine. running the test and tethering--4g disappears. running test alone- a ok. Are you tethering when the 4g disappears?
I was running the mr2, mr2.5 radios on gb roms (synergy, das bamf, 2.1, 3.0 , gingeritis) all have issues. an hour ago i switched to the froyo radio and das bamf 1.8 and so far so good.
still don't know if it's ****ty connection here in chicago, bad ****ing radio (gb ones) or verizon trying to block my tethering. i will get back after more tethering to see if it disappears.
i did also try to overclock, undervolt, change the speeds to no avail.
posted my solution on another thread, here it is again
well i solved all of my tethering problems by going back to froyo. am now on bamf 1.8 remix and loving it. tether works like it should and even works with the screen off. something is off inthe gb kernal that forces tether to close when screen is off. slight remedy is to up the processor speed, until you lose the 4g signal lol.
i think i'll just wait for the official gb, need the internet and all.
My brother inspire is unable to send text while plugged into the charger why is that?
Sent from my MB860 using XDA Premium App
mine does the same thing I have three bars on my couch but when i plug in to charge it drops to nothing. one bar will flicker in and out. I can manage to send a text if i hold it perfectly still and wait for the bar to pop up. wish I could answer your question, but I dont know, just wanted you to know you are not alone. It hasnt annoyed me enough yet to search for a fix
Mine works great, even at work where I have extremely poor signal. Might be a hardware issue.

About twice a month, it seems like 4g data goes down in phoenix. Anyone experiencing this? I change to LTE mode in dad bamf settings and get nothing.
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App
Negative, I work in PHX live in Gilbert... it's never gone down for me... I have had the phone occasionally lock itself in 3G when I know I'm in a 4G zone, but a reboot or LTE on/off usually fixes that.
Mine was out last night but thought it was mostly due to storm, back up again as I am using it now. Queen Creek is my location.
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App
Thanks guys, I am guessing it is a radio issue. Will try reseting.

i have lost my 4G service in Phoenix before but then i switch set dns to the google dns option and it works.
Other than sporadic issues lasting a few minutes, have not had any outages in the past few months. Out in the Queen Creek area.

How'd you like that storm? I live in the outskirts of Queen Creek where the microburst hit. Kinda weird seeing twenty powerlines turned into splinters, looks like something snapped them at the base like twigs.

no 4G in my area yet, although since yesterday the 3G has been going up & down regularly and is still doing it today. a friend of mine has a Droid Charge and has said the same thing is happening with her phone.
the "3G" logo will suddenly disappear & the bars will go off, then it'll either come right back up(or after a few seconds) and sometimes will show "1X".
i'm in Carlsbad, CA btw. i wonder what the hell Verizon is doing....
Mine cut out for a minute or so but nothing major.
i live in the tempe/scottsdale area and have never gotten 4g outages
Works for me as well. Scottsdale/Phoenix border.
Its been intermittent for a day or two in Dallas/Fort Worth when ever they do the network upgrade nationwide for the new networks to come online.
My replacement HOX's wifi is fluctuating a lot. Do our phones suffer from the same wifi problems as the international version?
Sent from my HTC One XL using xda app-developers app
No. The international version has antennas in a different spot than the evita.

It can, but you basically have to use the back casing as a punching bag, and I suspect that you will probably crack the case before you cause the same issue.
When I turn vibration on under settings>sounds whenever the phone vibrates, it rattles pretty loudly. Maybe there is stuff loose back there and that's why my wifi fluctuates a lot.

There's something wrong with my wifi too (Rogers HTC One X) -- wifi signal strength is typically about 20dB worse (that's 100 times less signal power for those of you who aren't familiar with decibels) compared to my laptop or blackberry in the same location, and I get "not in range" on the phone when my laptop has 3-4 out of 5 bars. It doesn't seem like exactly the same problem as the international version, since I can't make it better by pressing the case by the camera and volume up, but it does seem like some kind of hardware/antenna issue.
(FWIW, I'm on version 1.94 software (Rogers OTA update), and I've selected "2.4GHz only", and "best wifi" in the settings)
I've noticed that mine fluctuates when I hold it in different ways. It's like the iPhone 4 grip problem when it first came out but this seems worse. I barely have to touch the bottom of the phone for the signal to drop. Also, I noticed that sometimes I can't connect to the same wifi hot spots as other phones / other devices I've had. It's like it doesn't have the same range.

Yeah, there was something wrong with the motor so I exchanged it. My current one had a LOUD motor when I first got it that sorta sounded like a rattle but it has settled in it seems. It's perfect now.

Same here. As I type this I am watching the Wifi oscillate between one and four 'bars'. The other day the hox was dropping the connection altogether and I was constantly switching between 3g and wifi
When I first got my phone it would get into a cycle of losing Wi-Fi connection, switching to data, then back to Wi-Fi repeatedly. It kept doing this until I turned Wi-Fi off for about 5 minutes. It seems to not happen as much on a different ROM than stock.
This happened even with good signal. Also I don't have any signal issues, signal strength is always as strong as it should be.
Sent from my HTC One XL using xda app-developers app
I had Wifi issues when I first got my One X where I would get weak signal or it would constantly drop. Also, when i would go in to or out of a Wifi hot spot I would lose data for a few minutes unless I toggled airplane mode. Once I unlocked my phone and out on CleanRom, some of the issues seemed to be resolved. Now I am on CR 4.5 Dev and AT&T 2.20 radio and I don't have the issues anymore.

My wifi doesn't fluctuate, I just have bad signal all the time ;_;
Has anyone had any cell service issues equivalent to that of an old iPhone?
It seems that if I hold my phone like a normal person I loose all service. Its better if I take the back cover off. I have also noticed NFC does not work with my back cover on. Has anyone else had these issues?

I have noticed simular issues in areas where signal is weak. Im thinking weak samsung radio or bad antenna design.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
Im having poor signal myself. Hopefully another baseband update will help
My signal drops in and out every few minutes or so while I am at home in mediocre 3G. Super frustrating. However, when I am in a good 4G zone no worries.
This has been accentuated by moving to CM, I really hope the RIL fixes will help...
