From this morning till now, my TB gets 2 bars, never goes up or down and I get no data. Says 3G but nothing. Tried rebooting a few times with no success. I am 100% stock. Went to work this morning and had 4G down in Somerset. Anyone else having issues?
Was in Jersey over the weekend, got no 3G data in north Jersey even though phone was connected to the network. No problems in mid state though.
I am in center jersey and no problems so must just be north

No Problems in Trenton
I was in Trenton all day and had a strong 4G signal.
This week my signal in a formerly decent area has become atrocious.
(I'm in Brooklyn NY)
Has anyone else experience this?

I've seemed to notice that my 3G signal has been dropping to 1G often on my drive home (from Queens NY to Suffolk County)... maybe Sprints doing some work?

Its a trend. 1-2 years ago I got 1.5-2 Mbps on average since then its been getting progressively worse on any phone I try.

I was having similar issues in Fairfield County. The Guy at the Sprint store told me they were doing a ton of tower work in the area and it has been causing issues. He said it was suppose to be done by the end of April. We will see.

I have been experiencing this with whatever phone I've had (Palm Pre, Epic, Nexus) here. It was just FLAKY with the Pre, but the Epic and Nexus recently my 3G has been the pits. It will show I have full bars and my phone will crawl. Called Sprint and they said there is a "outage" in my area and that they were working on it.
My company gives discounts for people on AT&T, and if this keeps up it might be time for a change...........I hate the idea of having tiered data but what's the point of having unlimited usage that I CAN'T USE?

If you switch, take a look at TMo. They are great here and their pricing/data plans are good.
ATT speeds are good here too, I have them but am grand fathered into unlimited data. Don't know if I'd recommend them to a new customer.

Yeah I'm in NY as well and have been facing atrocious signal issues. Manhattan works fine including some parts of Queens, but once I head out into Long Island, forget about it, I see my bars drop to one, to none, and sometimes 1x.
Sprint is pushing out the update, just confirmed the release date to be the 25th. Hopefully, this will solve the signal issue that so many of us wishes to be finally resolved.

North NJ here and my signal is horrible..... sprint 3g is the worst...i had Verizon b4 i came over to sprint 2 months ago and boy do i regret it...
Same here in Stockton, CA. Been getting weak signal and when I use data it actually looks like my signal drops a bit.
I average speeds of .5 megs. Which is just terrible compared to other carriers.
BTW dont use the speedtest app from the market. Its borked, use a test through the web browser.

thanks....but the problem is T-Mobile is going to get gobbled up by AT&T soon so I'd lose that battle either way......
i also hate AT&T because they are against net neutrality (last time I checked), but that's a whole different subject
Not for me Been getting around 2mbps like forever besides outages from towers Going down

I agree... I live in Clifton, NJ and work in Woodcliff Lake, NJ. At work, I no longer get reception at all unless I'm roaming, when last year I had full signal.
At home, I had to get an Airave because I never have more than half my bars, this also used to be full.
i'm not getting reception at all right now and i normally have full bars inside my house.
On top of that when i do get reception, the white bars never turn green so i can't even call my voicemail WTF
Same for me in san. Diego CA. I hope they get this fixed soon. If not they better refund us the amount of money we paid for they're "premium data plan" that we can't even use.

To add to it,
In CT I'm in an area with "Good/Fair" coverage, or whatever. I hardly get enough of a data connection at home to load the facebook app.
The past few days, however, I've seen my phone on 1X a lot, and even no service at all for extended periods. But I'm wondering if it's from Sprint or from the latest nightly I just flashed. >_>

I'm at USC in LA, and since yesterday my phone has been having issues connecting to LTE. I haven't heard any news of outages,though, so I'm wondering if something is borked with my phone. I was on CM7, but I tried going completely back to stock and still no dice. Is anyone else having LTE issues?
haven't heard of anything but gaving the same issues since yesterday. In the Burbank area.
Oh, good — then maybe there's a chance that it's not just my phone. Even 3G sometimes drops out, and nothing comes up for LTE Only except 1X.
Weird that nobody is reporting anything, though.

if you are using the radio from chingys leak that is the problem,best one I found for la is the original ota update radio

I think it was an outage because 4G kept flickering all day yesterday and now it seems steadily on today without me changing anything. Thanks for the suggestion though.
there's no LTE yet where i am, but every now and then the 3G will cut in & out for about a day or so(and get stuck at 1X). whenever i call Verizon about it they'll either say there's work being done in my area or an area nearby and just said they could transfer me to a tech to see if there's something on my phone not set correctly or will just give the b.s. "pull your battery for 30 seconds" bit.
good luck if you call them
I'm at USC as well and didn't notice any issues. I was on MR2.5 and flashed the new 802 radio last night which seems even better connection and speed-wise. What radio are you using?
I'm in West LA, on the latest leak, no issues at all yesterday or today.
Currently running on 1x like a boss. Wait a minute that ain't good 4g down on the east side of the city.

same here, it hit about a hour ago. I been reflashing radios and different roms. I think its due to the new cities being added to the 4g network
3G and LTE is out for me too in LA. I'm using 1.48.00.0726w and 0.01.78.0802w_3
currently only 1x and 3G in Vancouver, WA for the past few hours.

you're right, as soon as i posted it came back up for me.
Is anyone else getting 1X only? Barely getting 1X if that, a lot of data drops and even losing voice completely. Just started out of nowhere. Is anyone else in Chicago having problems?
Edit: wouldn't you know it, as soon as I post this everything came back up.
I've been having issues in NC since Friday.

I live in Chicago (Rogers Park area) and work in Deerfield, IL and I have been having on and off problems for a couple of weeks now but generally they go away fast.
I'm out in Aurora the signal has been off and on but I'm on 4g now

i am also in aurora same here on and off
My data connection has been in and out in what were perfect 4G areas in Chicago, Detroit and DC. Often I'll have full bars but no data. I've been stuck on 1x and intermittent 3G for about 2 weeks.
Last night my phone suddenly switched off from 4G to 3G and ever since it has been stuck in 3G. My house usually gets a very strong 4G coverage. Does anyone else in the Hartford, CT area have this problem? Or is this how Verizon throttles heavy data usage?
Verizon doesn't throttle 4G because..well..unless they wanna visit from the FCC, they can't.
But in Toledo, Ohio, I got full service.

While you are technically correct we all know the fcc ain't gonna do ****. When do they ever take people to task over their offenses. Last time I checked, never.

I thought they could throttle the unlimited users but not the tiered data plans. Is this wrong?
I just attempted to activate a GS3 with verizon yesterday, but was unable to get a 4g signal. After a long conversation with customer service, I finally got on the phone with a technician who informed me that Samsung has a batch of GS3s out that are having trouble getting a 4g signal and that they are working on pushing out a patch to fix the problem. Kind of sounded a little fishy, but that's what he told me.
Anyway, after digging around online for a fix I found a suggestion that turning the phone on without the sim card, turning it back off, inserting the sim card and turning it back on would fix the problem. Surprisingly it seems to have worked, although I will still be exchanging the phone to be sure. It couldn't hurt to try it in your case though.
I never had a problem getting 4G before. Whatever it was it seems to be fixed now.
My 4g is working in Greensboro n.c.

Strong 4G signal here in Detroit, MI. May have been an isolated outage in your area??? Tower issues???
Next time reboot or toggle airplane mode off/on.
