i was in Vegas in May and the 4G service was horrendous. There was coverage everywhere and I always had 2 bars at least, but the data connection wouldnt pass any data. I spent the whole weekened on 3G because of the horrendous spotty 4G service.
We met up with a buddy who lives in Vegas who had recently got a TB. He could not stand the phone. He kept talking about crying to Verizon so he could get a Iphone4... I was like, "BUT BUT 4G!!!" and then I realized the 4G barely works for him.
I dunno, maybe its better now.
4G is developed and fast in Las Vegas. 10 - 17Mbps down and 7 - 10Mbps up is my experience. Keep in mind that this is in North Las Vegas.

Thanks for the info, we are south of the strip hopefully the service will be decent. Thanks again everyone!
I was in Downtown Vegas for a week and the 4G was great, I used it to tether while in the room.
I live in Las Vegas and Verizon has the best coverage. I have had T-mobile, Att and Sprint. 4G is ok. Best around the freeways. I live in the (South of the 215) Southwest and the coverage for 4g is spotty but better than anything else I have had. Most major areas have good 4g Coverage.

Same exact thing I thought it was the rom I was using....like may 19th or so around then....how funny it drove me nuts
i was there for edc and 4g sucked on the strip and sucked at the motorspeedway (but to be fair with 100,000 people all the services sucked).
Was also there last week and once again it sucked all along the strip..
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. >_>

Active in Bloomington / Normal too, occurred overnight!
Meanwhile.....
Thriving metropolises like Fostoria, OH have had it most of the year now. Technology doesn't seem to reach IL very fast. Huge portions of that state still don't have EVDO.
so what gives?... how do we know when 4G is going to be available if Verizon says they don't have that information?....
I'm in San Diego county and have been waiting 7 months now for 4G. Ill occasionally hear that some 4G update is coming soon & people here making posts when they have it.. but still.. ghetto 3G for me.
is there even a way to find out or just wait around until we either suddenly notice our phone says 4G or get an announcement email from Verizon?
oh and speaking of thriving metrpolis'... how come I have a cousin that lives in a tiny town of like 20,000 people and has 4G, and I live in a place 500,000 people and no 4G....
damn you Verizon and your false advertising!....
I'm sorry t-mobile and my galaxy s....

What did you expect? 4G everywhere as soon as the Tbolt went on sale? They're basically building a new network from the ground up. Verizon doesn't send out emails welcoming people to 4Gland. It usually just happens overnight. Here in Ohio, its almost impossible to avoid LTE inside a city. Even a small one like fostoria, OH. Some places won't see it for years yet. It's not false advertising. I didn't expect to see it where I'm at anytime soon, then they started doing nightly testing and it was live in a month. You just have to relax your expectations.
I live near downtown san diego. I get great 4G service typically but when I go to places like escondido, other does suck. Ive been told by multiple reps that 4G will be nationwide by end of 2012.

I'm in the Quad Cities which is one of the areas that was supposed to get it on the 15th of this month. I've seen my phone connect a couple/few times but not for very long at all. I've done a couple speed tests too and it would only come back as like 5 or 6 meg down which can't be right. Anyone else in this area having similar issues? I've tried different radios on my phone and still the same thing...
I just got 4g in Mansfield,Ohio today and my thunderbolt still says 3g what's up with that

I seem to be able to connect in certain areas, but not at work or home, even though home is in the downtown area... I thought all of the city was supposed to have coverage or does it take a little time for that to happen?

Thanks scrub maybe next time make a comment on here that relates to the topic at hand. It is the people like you ruining xda. On a lighter note it seems Verizon has acknowledged the 4g issue but says data otherwise shouldn't be affected

I am just curious of other people experience with T-Mobile's reception in Scottsdale or Phoenix Arizona. I have been with T-Mobile for many years with many phones and I always have had this problem, I know this is the G2x forum, but I am using a G2x so guess it is ok to ask here. Almost any department store I go into I lose my T-Mobile signal. I see many other people on their phones talking with no trouble at all. As soon as I leave the store my signal goes right back up to full.
See my sig for my phone info.
Thanks !
I'm in Arizona North Scottsdale to be more specific and I have little to no issues

never had problems anywhere across the valley and i go virtually everywhere reffing soccer...
keep in mind, tmobile uses high frequency bands which do not penetrate buildings well... you should at least get an edge signal though....
Maybe you should try out a different sim? I heard there were problems a while back with certain cards.
I live in Peoria near the lake I get spotty 4g h whatever you want to call it but I get edge at least and inside buildings.

Signal is ok for me. In Tucson now. But I lose signal in my apartment very disappointing but it's not as terrible as when I had it in NJ.
When I was in milwaukee WS, best signal ever. I miss my time there but weather and warmness in Arizona is something I look forward to.
I live in Gilbert and used to work in N. Phoenix. I have only noticed one truly dead spot on I-10 where I consistently lose a signal.
Buildings I tend to lose signal as I move further inward.
U can try diff basebands
