Not note 3 centric but verizon's network around Charleston sc is pretty messed up. Everyone I know with Verizon has data and and but we can't connect to any actual phone calls. Is this happening anywhere else?

Couple people over in the SIII forum also saying data is down for them. Probably a temporary outage

Right by Feasterville, dropping service like crazy..
Same noticed that both cellular n data went roaming, thought it was my location...but when I left I was dropping calls n 0 bars in places I normally had stable service. Was worried it was my Rom, radio, prl, etc. Things went back to normal around 11pm tonite. Glad to know it wasn't just me

In bergen co. It sucks everywhere since dec. 152kbps. Monday i was able to get 542kbps at my house. They said the towers in my area will be fixed by the 29th of this month. Lets see

I had some problems yesterday for the first time - it was about an hour where I couldnt get a signal and kept roaming (also force roaming with roam control app) but then back to normal here in Somerset /New Brunswick.
Yeah im also forcing roam here haha
Terrible speeds in Atlantic City but that has been the case for a while.

I've notice that the past 2 weeks my internet speed has been very slow in my apt. I called Tmobile today and they say I've been flagged? I have 5gig internet and ive only used 3gigs...so how am I flagged? She said that in my area I use another carriers tower and that I only get 100mb a month on that tower? After that I'm screwed. I never had the issue because I was never home, but recently I have....but Wft is tmobile talking about? I have 4g in my area! And I pay Tmobile not Att...etc this doesn't make any sense. My internet works fine everywhere... except here at my apt! And that's the excuse she gave me. I can't even get a page to pull up or use an app unless I'm on 2g/Edge.

Escalate it to tier two tech support and ask them to check the towers you are connecting too. It may be a screw up. I had this happen awhile back
Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 2
100MB sounds like a roaming limit. They made a mistake somewhere and need to fix it. If the person refuses, speak to a manager, or Google how to get to their retentions department (it is saying something when you dial 611).
They are still telling me the same crap. This is ridiculous. Im in a 4G area, but all towers are not tmobile, so even if I'm not roaming I'm roaming?!?! Wow!!! So what's the point of me paying for internet?

File a report with the FCC and demand they allow you out of your contract without an ETF. If the towers in your area no longer belong to T-Mobile (they did say awhile back they were looking into selling towers...IIRC) and you are always roaming and therefore throttled after 100mb than you shouldn't have to pay for more data than that and if they can't provide you the unthrottled speeds after 100mb (that you pay for) they should allow you out of your contract.
(It's what I would do)

If you have a certain rom it will tell you how much you have transfered. Tmobile tried to this with me and while my wife was on the phone with them I took the phone and told the guy he was full of **** and he said that he could tell the areas where I downloaded it from I told him my ROM monitors in and out traffic and it was only at 900MB and I asked him to tell me and he choked and got all mummbly. It is a scam I think because they have this new unlimited plan they want everyone to switch to. Cell companies hate with I call then because I call them out.

I asked the store rep if Sprint is working on a fix, but we all know the Sprint reps are usually useless answering these questions (by this I mean at the store they are only trying to make a sell). Her answer was that Sprint is working on a fix that will fix all phones with an OTA. My next question was is this a hardware or software problem which she responded that it is a tower problem. I looked online for an answer but all I could find is that Sprint responded with a weird kinda lame answer that didn't really say if they are working on a fix or not. On Sprint's Forum a rep says they are, but they say a lot of things on the forum that aren't correct also. This seems to be a very frustrating situation actually.
Does it matter to you?
It does to me, but at the same time it isn't a function I use all the time. My only reason that it has helped me, is that it has greatly helped me with work a few or more times.
I am kinda forced to buy a new phone for framily / billing reasons... huge bill without it. I am sorta thinking that I will upgrade the phone but at the same time keep my S4 handy in case I hate the S5. I went to the store today and I have to say it actually surprised me with it's new version of Touchwiz- even though I usually hate Touchwiz.
The only real reason I can see me upgrading is the camera and battery algorithms for power saving.
I call crap!
I've had none of these issues personally, and you can just turn off Spark.
I spoke with sprint today and they said it would be fixed when spark opens up nation wide.
Sent from my SM-G900P using xda app-developers app
Spark is crap!!!
The reason you can only use one at a time is the triband antenna in the phone it can only use one signal at a time. It may be fixed once sprint starts using voice over LTE. Plus spark is just a unborn baby right now, not even full deployed. The sprint map says spark coverage is in certain areas on the sprint coverage map on the website. This is not true, the sprak network is 2.5Ghz radio head on the the already existing towers(have not be built or not on-air yet). According to sprint Alcatel-Lucent and Samsung towers are the only companies that are contracted to work on spark networks. Ericsson is looking like they will not be apart of the upgrade. This means there will be 1/3 of the sprint market that will not have spark. Sprint has the the companies split by markets and only two of them have contracts to build in their area.
Here is an article that will cover a good about of that info.

NSN will be the contractor for the Areas served by Ericsson for NV 1.0. The reason you can not get SVLTE is because they do not have multiple pathways for 1x and LTE. Here it talks about it. The S5 was not the first phone to have this happen, All tri-Band Phones will most likely be without SVLTE from now on.
S4gru has a few pages explaining it better.

Yes, I forgot to mention it is not only the S5, but all Triband phones. I mostly wanted to put this out here in the open for feedback and other peoples knowledge when contemplating the S5 as an update. I would have been absolutely pissed if I found out after the fact.

Now that Sprint has wifi calling it seems like it would be easy to use the same service over LTE. Then 1X voice wouldn't be needed and you could use data+voice simultaneously.

Having sprint spark doesn't mean your going to have best speeds unless your connected to band 41 or band 26 which is the newest bands. With those speeds you have there i wouldn't be surprise if your connected to band 25 which is the 1900mhz which yea its loaded with majority of sprint customers which is going to give you real slow speeds.
Here some speed test on band 41 i took yesterday morning when i was heading to go play some basketball.
