Evo 4G As Replacement?

Even though I love my Nexus, I am thinking of calling the Sprint people for a replacement. Here's why I think it is defective hardware:
- Poor 3G Connection Speed (50-150 Kbps)
- NO 4G connection in "In Building" region of Chicago (I'm outside)
- VERY poor voice calls, drops out about 1/2 of calls
- 1 bar of WiFi about 5ft from router.
Do I have a case/ any hope?

OH, I have also reset the phone 3x, "activated" 2x, and updated profile 4x. All to no avail.

Sounds like you have a bad device. Mine doesn't have any of these issues.

Although not all ns4g have these problems, it is common. I had 2 different ns4g's and they both had these problems; though it could be a mixture of hardware design and my local network. I would be really surprised if sprint would exchange phones based on that argument though.
Its a breath of fresh air coming to a GSM ns; minus the data cap of course!

All the points except two are "normal" for me. This is true with other 4g phones I've had too. The wifi, I can look now 90° to my left, and through the clear of any obstructions sliding glass door I can see my router maybe 10 to 15 feet from me and I'm only getting 75% signal. Dropped calls I haven't experienced except for one place. On my way home, there was always one spot that the phone would drop when one tower is handing me over to the next one. It stopped doing that recently so I guess the problem was fixed on their end. If you're getting those speeds during the weekdays, that's not bad considering that's usually when the network is busy.

Maybe try another radio, some have bad signal.

I have both. They are good at different things. I carried the Evo for 9 months and the nexus for about 2 months so far. Probably won't go back to the Evo anytime soon.

I am in the same boat except that I jsut bought my NS4G last weekend so I am still in grace period. I am working with a rep. from sprint to figure out why I get no 3G coverage in my house when I am in the second tier of excellent, good, fair, and poor coverage. I really love my NS4G and don't want to let it go.

The Evo definitely has better signal, more features, bigger screen, maybe better support/Development. I like my ns4g because it's fast and simple. Easy to root, beautiful screen. Plus personally I don't need or use most of the features on the Evo.
Hell, I would consider selling it if the price were right, but I will never sell this Nexus. Unless it is toward upgrading to the next Nexus.

Comparison of cell phones by antenna strength?

I've searched all over the place for an actual comparison of cell phones and the antenna strength they have. Not how much reception they have, or if they lose signal depending on how you hold them, but how strong their internal antenna is.
Example, the Motorola Milestone, from what I understand has two antennas. Blackberry Torch has two as well. At least that is what I've picked up from bits and pieces around the internet. Not sure if accurate.
But, I know for a fact that the Motorola Milestone will have superior coverage compared to my Galaxy S Fascinate. At least -10dbm, and 5asu better. Which equals almost 2 bars. The Blackberry Torch as well. 3 bars better consistently. So, in this day and age of buying unlocked phones, surely there has to be a comparison somewhere to show which phones have stronger antennas, which ones have the two antennas, etc, etc.
And I just can't find it anywhere. Anyone have ideas?

Bravo!
That's a good wake up call
it's true a lot of people are forgetting the phone main function should be "to be a phone"
yet now in days when people talk or compare a phone, is more into competing power, and how entertaining it's
from personal experience i can say as a PHONE, the Moto Milestone XT720 has absolutely the best reception, vs Nexus S, I9000 and SGS2 i9100, HTC devices, etc
on 2nd place i'll put SGS2 T989 as good reception
3rd place goes for all the others phones

Any other response to this, on the spot, question?
Cheers !

Few months later, and I still say the Motorola Milestone has the best reception I've ever seen.
Still looking for an answer to the original question though. Seems like no one has done any research on it and put together some information.

Virtually the same....
Mobile customers planning to do a cell comparison of phone reception strength are pretty much wasting their time.
The majority of cell phones today are so well designed and competitive that they virtually all deliver the same level of service. Users may notice a difference between carriers due to cell site positioning compared to their homes or offices. The closer the cell site is, the better your phone reception is going to be regardless of which cell phone you utilize. Doing a cell comparison phone reception strength of carriers can be a good idea...

Yes, MOST cell phones are more or less the same within a general 'bar' or two. But there are a few that stand out, like the Motorola Milestone and the Blackberry Torch. I was just wondering if there are others that have similar exceptional antenna strength and reception.

I'd like a list like this to, The Nexus S is terrible.

I've noticed that out of all the phones I have had, Nokia's have the best reception. I still like Symbian over Android, but eh
Sent from my GT-S5830 using xda premium

Nokia and Motorola seem to have the best signal strength based on my experience regardless of the "antenna strength " indicator.

+1 for Nokia phones on sym.

the best signal phone are those with antenna in exterior, and those are safer for healthy.

The original Motorola Droid and my current Droid Razr Maxx have the best signal out of all the phones I've ever had. And I'm talking measuring the signal strength with programs not just by bars, as I found them to be inaccurate.
My HTC phones would have to be held a certain way or the signal strength would drop.

Motorola is best for me .

In my experience most Motorola phones have great antenna/signal strength.

For me Nokia always had best signal but nowdays what to do with their usless phones.

If I remember right when the Galaxy Nexus came out people were showing horrible signal strength across the board. So Samsung issued a 'fix' that changed what was previously 2 bars or something to show as 4-5 bars.

To bump this old thread again.
Consistently getting 2 bars would be fine. Probably good enough to call, and for sure good enough to text.
My problem is I get 1 bar maybe inside my home with the Galaxy S, while the Motorola Milestone gets 4 bars.
Is the Galaxy S2 better in terms of reception than the original Galaxy S? I want to upgrade phones anyways. It is a bigger phone than the original Galaxy S, so perhaps it has better reception.

Try switching modems for galaxy S, I get 1-2 bars using JVU modem and 2-4 bars using JW4.

Mostly all Hi-End Motorola phones have the best antennas but if your a modder, stay away

Nexus to Rezound, considering GSIII

My first Android was a DInc, loved that phone. Waited patiently through all the hype for the Galaxy Nexus, and was disappointed, mostly due to poor reception and poor battery life. So I ended up getting a Rezound. I really like my Rezound, but I'm considering a GSIII for the SAMOLED screen and better developer backing.
How is the reception and battery life on the GSIII? How is the screen? Anyone else coming from a Rezound or another HTC phone?

I mean no offense by this.. But there's a lot of threads already covering this.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda premium

Came from the Rezound myself, which I absolutely loved, except battery life of course. Sold it to buddy needing a smartphone and used another lines upgrade, kept unlimited. The SIII is a great phone in all aspects. The battery is good, mileage may vary as always, but I personally do "moderate" usage and get 14ish hours on average depending on what I do. I wouldn't say the radio is as good as the Rezound, my 4G speeds always seemed a bit slower, but could be because more people are using it, but overall reception for me is stellar. The screen is great, both on battery, in sunlight, and just plain how it looks. You will be happy. But also note the upcoming HTC DLX/DNA coming to Verizon.

the only two phones i can recommend currently is the note2 "coming soon" or the gs3. it really is a great phone, at least for me.

Sounds like the GSIII turned out better than the Nexus. My Nexus was about 10dBm worse in signal compared to my DInc. I was also disappointed the contrast on the display with the Nexus was worse than my DInc. I get about 36 hours average usage from my Rezound, stock battery. If I get a GSIII, it's off contract, so I don't want another dud.
I think the Note II would be too big to use as a phone all the time. I was thinking of setting one up as a media device in my vehicle though.

Hope this helps... but samsung has not fixed their cdma radios. Where i am at my rezound gets 15db better signal. Reception is still a huge concern if ur in an area where nexus had an issue. As much as i love this as a pda it sucks as a phone. Im patiently waiting for HTC DNA

HTC DNA. Wait for it.

From what I can find on the DNA, it looks nice.
I like Samsung, all of my TVs/Monitors are from them. But in the phone market, I feel HTC does a better job. There's a lot of great devs working with the Rezound, but the phone has been out for a year, and there still isn't an official CM9 yet.

I was about to say the exact same thing.....its troubling people don't do their own research or at least look up previous threads.

If you had an issue with reception on the Nexus, you'll probably run into the same with the S3, must be a fringe thing ..probably your area because where I'm at I don't have any issues at all with signal on either of mine, LTE I consistently see 85dbm or lower and data is solid. Have had my Nexus since launch (Dec) and the S3 since August.

At home service was alright. I used to get about -85dBm on the Nexus. At work, signal is worse. The Nexus would show about -105dBm where as both of my HTC phones show -93dBm average. If the radio is the same for the GSIII, that could be the deal breaker.

There is nothing "sensible" about HTC...stick with Samsung!

The S3 radio is indeed pretty bad in my experience. Currently in my apartment with -106dBm. Just had -114. It's great. It's fine on campus, but in some places here in Gainesville, FL.. . The rest of the phone is good though.

I have a Rezound and got the GS3 a month or so ago because of issues with battery life. The radios in the Samsung are indeed worse than the HTC. On the way to pick up the Samsung, I used my Rezound for navigation and streaming radio over 4G/3G with the TuneIn app. It didn't miss a beat the whole way (about an hour's trip from a 4G area to a 3G area). On the way home, the GS3 wouldn't get a GPS lock for a considerable amount of time ("Searching for GPS..." message on screen) and my streaming radio cut out three or four times.
I love almost everything about the S3, but the radios are undoubtedly weaker. I am fortunate to live in an area that this doesn't affect me very often, so it's not really an issue. If you do live in such an area, it might be something to consider.

I also just got an S3, and came from a Rezound with the extended battery. I loved the rezound, but after 8 replacements and each one with a serious problem, I got fed up and bought an S3. So far, I love it. I'm using the standard battery and I find it acceptable. It's alot faster, thinner, and reception has not been an issue yet.

I came from a Thunderbolt, and had a brief stint with the Nexus. The radios are DEFINITELY better in the GS3. Are they as good as the Rezound? Maybe not...but they aren't such a far cry as the Nexus was.

M8 Terrible Signal vs DNA

I gotta vent. It's driving me nuts! My girl has my Droid DNA - and just like me when I had it, she gets at least 3 bars of LTE at home. I'm lucky to get ONE BAR of 1X on my M8!!! It's ridiculous! I can barely send text messages from home. They sit there for several minutes with the 'sending' icon. It's so choppy, people are even receiving double or triple text messages. How can one HTC phone have such incredible signal and a newer one have such terrible signal!?
When I get a chance, I'll take a look at the actual signal dB numbers. Regardless of the numbers, though, this phone's service sucks. Other than that, I absolutely love this phone.

It's much better than my GNex, but that's not saying much (it had notoriously bad reception). I've only noticed going down to 3G once, which is great for me.

I think the signal on M8 is much worse than on the DNA (I have access to both), but only at certain angles of the M8.
M8 has a complete solid metal back, which is completely opaque to microwave and radio waves. When you turn the M8 correctly, it gets a better signal. Not by very much but better.

I get the same service I've always had. Full LTE and AWS. Something is wrong with either something that you may have flashed or your phone is defective. Send it back.

Im with you man. I also came from a GNex, and it seems like a lot of other have too.
Its crazy how much better the reception has been with the M8. I had trouble getting any 3G or 4G in my new house with my GNex, even outside. With my m8, I get an average of 3 bars of 4G. And the difference is like that everywhere I go including work. I don't know how I lasted that long on the GNex. I guess I just got used to the crazy bad reception.
That being said, I have always heard that most Motorola phones have some of the best reception. And this was always the case with my older motorola flip phones (E815) also. But I stopped buying motorola phones after the original Droid X bootloader was locked down like Fort Knox, and they said all their newer phones were gonna be like that.
EDIT:
To the person that just sold the NOTE 3. That phone is just like the GNex was. Awful reception. My dad had the phone for two days and returned it. We looked up reviews and saw tons of people complaining about the reception. Which is funny because the Note 2 had a solid reception. My brother uses it and gets great service, as well as all the reviews. Samsung must have dropped the ball on the Note 3 antenna.

I agree with the OP. This handset has noticeably lower signal strength than my old HTC Rezound, and the one my wife currently uses as her personal phone. My M8 is only slightly better than the GNEX she has as a company-provided work phone. Disappointing, actually, as the M8 is a phenomenal device in most other regards.
To be honest though, I've not experienced a single dropped call, as of yet. But, I see data switching to 3G quite regularly. I'm still on the stock ROM, only S-OFF and rooted.

Just to add that coming from the DNA to the M8, I have been extremely happy with reception.
My DNA would consistently drop out at certain points in the city (minneapolis) but my M8 has been solid.
To be honest, I really don't pay a lot of attention to bars, so I couldn't say if I have the same, more or less bars with the M8, but I haven't had any issues with connectivity.

If your M8 is only slightly better than a gnex, you have a defective M8. G-nex has the worst reception of any phone I've ever owned, by FAR.

For me in New Jersey, where LTE practically covers the entire state, the M8 gets good reception but my DNA definitely got better reception.
At work in Newark..And I work in a glass building...DNA would be between 96-98 dBm and my M8 is between 102-105.
I'm assuming that's the aluminum casing. Don't get me wrong, reception is great but in marginal signal areas like at home in my basement, dna would hold LTE where M8 will drop to 3g and sometimes 1x

Yeah, my mom's GS3 had similarly crappy reception to my GNex, and Samsung's radios have never had the best reputation, but I heard they've gotten somewhat better. But I guess maybe they reverted back to their old ways with the Note 3...
Don't forget though, while the DX had a locked bootloader (I had a DX as well, it was actually my Android gateway device), it also had a great development community. So with some awesome dev's, even a locked bootloader doesn't mean the device won't be awesome.

Coming from multiple devices such as the Gnex, DNA, Note 3 and now the M8, I think there's more to it than just moving from one phone to another. Yes, HTC is known for better radios than Samsung and having the Note 3 before the M8 I personally witnessed the M8 produce better reception. But I think the issue also stems from the added LTE frequencies that have been added to newer handsets. For example my Note 3 before the AWS roll out performed very good, but once the roll out hit NYC and I started to check if I was connected to band 4 in my handset I began to notice my service between LTE, 3G and 1X fluctuate a lot. At work where I was constantly connected to LTE band 13 before and don't ever remember having 3G, the phone began to connect only to 3G.
Purchasing a new phone such as the M8 that has support for AWS but is weaker may be the result. The Droid DNA only supported Verizon LTE Band 13.

When I'm at work where my DNA had great LTE reception, my M8 seems to be OK - only slightly less signal. I think the problem is worse when the LTE signal is marginal like at my home. It seems that's when the difference is very noticeable. At home, I'd be lucky to get LTE on my older phones (Thunderbolt and Rezound) but the DNA was awesome. LTE all the time at home. I think I was spoiled.

You probably got a defective device, because mine gets signal everywhere I couldn't before.

I went from a GNex to an X, and noticed a great signal reception different. I thought the X had great reception, and held with Motorola's reputation for good radios. My M8 has a lot better reception than the X did, far none. Spots where I would have ~1 to 2 bars of 3G, I now have at least 3 at all times. The 4G radio boundary seems to be a lot better than the X had as well. I would agree with what was previously stated, and say you have a defective unit.

Coming from a g2 I consistantly see -5 db better with this device in the same locations.

The M8 appears to have similar signal reception to the S4. My son loves the M8, so no chance of an objective view there. The new device pixie dust is too strong
I find the following based on comparing:
DNA > i5s > M8/S4 Both the DNA and iPhone 4s have better reception than than the equal M8 & S4. Still not tested the S5 and will not unless they get a 32gb model. That would be my phone.
The worst phone recpetion device I ever owned was the Nokie N600. It was AWFUL and made the GNEX seem like a DNA on steroids. I grew to really "hate" Nokia after that device. Their Windows Phone love solidifies the "hate".

Something quite a few people here are not taking into account is that the M8 is utilizing Verizon's AWS band, whereas the Rezound/DNA are not. Your M8's signal bars are more than likely displaying AWS signal(assuming your area has AWS this will be the case). On a Rezound, your signal bars reflect your 1X signal...which will always be extremely high in most areas. On a DNA you will be seeing the normal LTE band.
If you're trying to compare to older devices like the Rezound, you need to launch a voice call on your M8 before even giving a second thought to the signal bars. To address the DNA...you won't really be able to compare the two devices since the DNA doesn't support the AWS band at all...unless you live in a non-AWS area.
If you do the appropriate comparisons, the M8's signal is great. I hope this helps clear up a lot of the misunderstanding going on in this thread. :good:

[Q] Oneplus One Tmobile

So does the factory unlocked oneplus one work good with tmobiles 4G lte bands, I currently have the att note 4 and has terrible connectivity and signal strength with tmobiles network never had issues with tmobiles phones them selves had great signal till I bought a factory unlocked att note 4 it works but the signal is bad, I want the one plus one but anyone use it with tmobile and how is the signal compared to a tmobile phone?

It does work well. Not as well as the TMO S5, it doesn't have all the bands. That being said, my LTE speeds have dropped to around 20mbs in certian places were they once might have been 35mbs., you'll have to do a speed test to even notice. I live in middle of nowhere AL, this is a rest i just ran. tl/dr OPO works great on TMO

Cool seems good, another thing is the signal strength I use my phone a lot and this att note 4 hardly ever gets signal at the border I work by the Otay border. my other tmobile phones had excellent signal.
So signal wise is it almost the same as tmo s5 ? Let's say in certain areas where you used to get very low signal with the s5 does the oneplus one still get signal? I almost never get full bars unless I'm outside with my tmobile phones I would literally almost have full bars or close to full bars anywhere and that's what I'm looking for.
