I have the same problem in downtown Houston... but I've had it with all 4 carriers.
Outside of Downtown I haven't had any issues.

I see, but I never had slow connection here at my house.

Others have said there is a bug in the radio... maybe I skated by and missed out on that issue. I honestly don't know. All I can tell you is that I haven't had any problems outside the expected issues DT.

Im not a dev, but can a dev see this.problem over logcat?

No issues here works near perfectly!

The radio isn't as good as my G1 (with the latest radio update), but its not bad either.
I suggest trying a replacement from T-mobile. With the way electronics are made these days, you're more likely to have flawed hardware...

[Q] Extrernal Antenna to Boost Vibrant 3G/Phone Signals

Is there an external antenna I can connect to the Vibrant to boost its signal? In my new apartment I only get Edge and want to get 3G, especially since I plan to tether it to my laptop to use as internet. Is there anything that can boost the signal?
Yeah.

No, I don't know of anything to boost signal.

Not as of yet. I've been told by three tmo reps that tmo will be releasing one of those signal boosters that you stick on your window sometime this year. Of course we all know how reliable tmo reps are so I wouldn't hold your breath or anything. I need something for my apartment to. Maybe we'll get lucky.

Sprint 3G down

I live in Maryland and as of 11:30 I have no 3g. Does anyone know if there is a way to check on 3g outages? Thankfully I have roam control and am able to at least use verizon's 1x. I need 3g!

New Jersey here and my 3G is working on sprint.
Try rebooting?
I'm in arlington and 3g is working here, sorry if that doesn't help but its close to maryland

Rebooted, switched radio on and off no luck. My radio is good because when I switch to verizon's tower using roam control I get 1x data. Slow but it something.

You're telling me. Its really annoying to know that there is 4g just 20 minutes down the road.

Was a known issue, though I was told it was only supposed to affect EVO's 3g. I'll inquire tomorrow, but I doubt I'll get anywhere.

I have a Evo. Unfortunately 4G is acting like a "B" also :-(
r0cky.Da.3v0.SU
Mine went down to here in Cincinnati OH, right in the middle of streaming the game. (4g picked it right back up though)
I had full bars, and without moving I had nothing for a good 10 minutes before deciding to switch to the battery-draining 4g.

thanks. I called sprint yesterday and first tier support tried to insist I hard reset my Epic,even though i told them I have three Epics and an Evo and were all seeing same problem. I called second tier directly and they told me there were network issues and not to reset.

For future reference - do you have a direct number for them, or is it the usual "I want to speak to level two"?
Even Sprint employees don't have a direct line for them, they got rid of that last year. That being said, the EVOs were having data connectivity issues, and somehow it expanded into the Epic, Moment and Hero as well, but in a more limited scope.

Network reception...

Anyone know how to increase network reception within the phone? My messaging is always shotty and it drives me nuts! Messages wont send on first attempt. I have to retry them and the person gets them twice. I always reboot or jump into airplane mode but its annoying as ****. Apparently the service on amy home isn't too good since it happens to my sisters intercept and her boyfriends evo but not like it hits me. Help!!! O usuallu undermind it thinking its sprint but im starting to suspect the radio now.. my old nokia candy bar pos had better reception 10 fold compared to these devices nowadays.

There is a thread on here for how to make 4g reception better. If I recall it had tips for 3g too. Your nokia was a gsm phone most likely. Way different from your sprint cdma phone in penitration of buildings
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
Call up Sprint and complain about coverage and tell them you are going to cancel. They will send you a free Airave that you hook up to your router. Basically a small cell tower that covers the inside of your house and some outside. I've had one for over 2 years and it wouldn't go without it.
I will tell you one thing about the Airave that you have to get used to. There is a small (but noticable) delay when you are using it. You say hello, and it takes a second to a second and a half for the other party to hear you. Sometimes I say "hello?" twice just as they answer me once.
If you're rooted you can purchase roam control from the market. That'll put your phone on constant roaming and hopefully give you better reception

[Tutorial] Reconnect to 4G much faster!!!
- Ron
Its definitely thhe radio. On my hero I got 3g speeds of 3-5mb/s and always hadservice. Now I get 2 bars where I had 5. And sometimes I'll have allvmy bars until I make a call or send a text, then suddenly I'll have no service and everything fails, but when I hang up or back out the message app I get all my service back -_- sprints really annoying me. Everyone gets servicein my house but me.
My friend has an iphone andhe gets 3g full bars att
My friend with a MT3G (yes the original non 3.5mm having one) gets HSPA with full bars! As well as my friend with his HD2 and another with a droid x. I'm always told how great the service is in my house until they see MY signal

Try an app called telinfo in the app store. Go to the options and select LTE only. Hopefully that will solve the issue for you.

I had the same problem with dropping 4g.. This app works beautifully. Thanks for this.
4G is the same for me as with the Note 2. We live in a rural area, so an occasional switch to 3G is not unheard of. But 99% of the time, my 4G is solid.

Noticed when i use the app to set for LTE only that phone calls dont come thru. Calls goes straight to voice mail. Anybody else?
Quick bump... I'm having same issue as OP and the program doesn't work for me either.
A little update... I took my phone to verizon to swap out for a new phone because of constant 4g drops to 3g and 1x, Rep advised he had seen my problem fixed with a new sim card before. I hesitantly accepted to try it not thinking it would fix my problem but considered oh well if it does I wont have to setup a new phone so whats the worse that could happen. 5 days later im happy to report my 4g drops have been non existant. My 4g is as reliable as it was on my note 2.
Mine drops out on me on train ride where Verizon says it's supposed to have 4g. I'm not sure if it's supposed to since I never had Verizon until this phone release.
Is there an equivalent to At&t's Mark the Spot app that reports to Verizon dead zones and such?

No need to bump after only half an hour.
Tell us more about your dataplan, is it 3G, 4G? It may possibly be a misconfiguration. I know I've dealt with them, too; it may be similar for you. Maybe your ISP/Carrier has a manual on how to properly configure your specific model. Most carriers have them online.
the att variant i get 40+mb/s on speedtest. and downloading is quick.
may be the tmobile variant that is slow. i was with them before and only got 8mb/s.
It's regular 3g nothing special about it,btw the device midel is d802.
Sent from my LG-D802 using xda app-developers app
The speed is usually 1mbps but it should be 5mbps.

Weird, my d802 works fine on 3G, I have a 14,4Mbps plan and I usually get around those speeds, unless I have a bad signal. So it can't be the model. It might be just yours, or a misconfiguration as I said earlier.
I'd definitely at least take it to a carrier shop or servicepoint where they might be able to help you diagnose the problem further, if their internet site doesn't have any configuration pointers.
I will do it thanks.
