Either you have hands of lead or there is a problem with your network.

I refuse to believe it's the phone's fault since you said you had the same issues with the S4.
Really ? You're going to call and complain to the operator about it ? What are they gonna do ? Come demagnetize your body or something ? lol

Check actual signal numbers in status, not bars. They are finicky.

Thanks.. its good for the XDA Reputation..why we should donate btw?
Now,ontopic.. no case on the phone.
Settings/signal:
In my hands (or someone els his hands) i get -85 dBm 16asu (in the bad areas it go's to -105 dBm)
Not in hands i get -78 dBm 16asu
Nobody knows a answer
The best thing would be to get more than one phone and test it a bit. I really can't give any better advice :/

Please do post your findings
@DRACONIANDRAGON
I agree. Not all answers u get are helpful.
But your reaction is uncalled for, abusive and unnecessary.
It tells me more about you.
In this case there is no clear fix. Since it has been said, that 2 phones have this problem with 1 person.
Maybe its bad luck with phones.
Maybe he is too statically charged or something.
But in anyway, there is no need for this. Its especially annoying to me when it includes people who are in this community longer then u and contributed so much more.

Actually, i had the same thing at first. And it started getting worse after i flashed cm based roms and i had no idea what was causing it.
Then i took of the back cover with a removing tool and noticed how the antennas where set up.
Tip, dont hold your hand or fingers near the top right corner. If i'm not mistaken that is where the gsm antenna is located.
At least the signal doesn't drop completely anymore for me now.
Oh and i get better reception with stock LG rom.
Ps: if i'm wrong about the antenna placement then I'm truly sorry, just trying to help.
bro you have superpowers
Do you wear a lot of statically charging materials? Wool, certain synthetics etc? Just guessing really

It probably just didn't have time to properly update the signal display. I'd be willing to bet that if you actually tried to make a call, it wouldn't have gone through.

ok this is an easy fix but 2 things to this..
#1 that video is only for FLOOR MODELS.. so you either got a stolen phone or a floor model
#2 goto applications.. find mytouch demo, force stop.
it will start up again after you reboot/turn phone off you'll have to do it all over again..
i suggest you root it and flash to eugene's mrslide final or myroot 4
I had this same problem..
good way to detect if it was stolen, when you press on either side of the battery door where you hold it in your palm it squeeks they ripped it outta the display
Paid 180 + my fked up BlackBerry 8520f or it..
sooo yeah i knew it was stolen when i took it to a ROOTER and he said its not a STOCK applications for fresh outta box

Really? Battery case squeaking means its stolen? My phone is less than 2 months old and has done this from day one, got it brand new in the box.

I'm not reffering to the normal Squeak I'm refering to a LOUD ass squeek as if someone pulled it off almost the to point that the battery case seems to not the fit phone at all..
Please keep your flaming rude posts to a minimum and consider the fact that what one person may be posting isn't always what you are thinking.. they are talking about
Video = floor model
The demo video is only for floor demo models, so it could be stolen but the first batch of store demo's shipped to stores were not labeled demo like normal. Because of this, it is possible for a demo to have been legitimately sold if the rep did not boot up the phone.

Don't plug anything in them. The last time I did that it stopped the antenna from working unless something was in there.

also interested in this... looking to extend wimax range.
Best guess would be radio shack or best buy. I had a quasimo(sp?) Laptop for a few weeks that had a port like this, came with an external antenna...clipped right on. Didn't help -much- with wifi, id assume the same for other bands. Sold the laptop or id try my self.
Also someone said in this or another thread about the ports that they tried an antenna and they couldn't get signal back after disconnecting.

are you referring to the 2nd post in this thread.. or did someone else besides that person claim the signal didnt work?
not sure why the signal wouldnt work unless they used the wrong adaptor.. or broke the fitting.
id assume id need a special 2.6ghz antenna since id want this for wimax? and i guess just try each port to see which gives me better signal? is there a diagram anywhere thatd say what each port was for?
My guess is that they are voltage testing points for q/c.

Nah aparently there's a switch in some of those that disables the internal antenna to use th external one. It was on an exclaim tho so I might be wrong.

Sorry for shouting, but I'm getting no answers.
Does everyone here also get an idle 4G icon after a short amount of time ?
What does it mean ?
I was under the impression that it's a phone design to conserve battery life, as explained here
http://www.deepeshpradhan.com/nexus-s4g-is-just-better-and-faster-and-its-is-google-phone
But, when mine does idle, it doesn't fall back to 3G, it just remains off, effectively turning this into a dumb unit. No connection.Nothing.
I'm looking for people to prove me wrong and to tell me that when they are idle on 4G, they receive notification INSTANTLY on apps like google talk.
I'm not talking 3 minutes delayed until 4G kicks back in again, I'm talking instant messaging , as it should be.
If I'm proved wrong, I must have a defective unit, but if this is software related, then somethings amiss ????
I have not noticed this myself... but I have seen at least one other thread saying the same thing.
I'd rather take the battery drain.

Because I don't believe you. I believe you must be getting a connection forced when you're having something polled. Or you get them when the icon goes back to green with bars. Not when it's grey with 3 dots. You cannot be. I've checked *#*#4636#*#* when it's idle, and there is simply NO connection.
Chec this for my evidence.

If you have proof otherwise, then please share.
And also because there are multiple threads on many topics. I'm hoping that I catch someone's attention.
I have tested this many many times, and it simply does not work.
I'm sorry dude, but you cannot be getting anything when it's idle.

Appreciate the video, but I think you may have more stuff polling than just gmail. If you revert totally to stock, I promise you will find that idle does not come off for push notifications. I see you have a lot of stiff loaded on your phone. It could be that.

Ok, do you think I may have a defective handset ? Could it be hardware related ?
I have literally just sent myself another email (at 08:22am) and my phone is sitting idle on my table at 08:29 with no email notification...
It's driving me mad. I literally cannot work like this (I rely on gtalk and gmail for my business)
If this is handset related, I can live with it if it fixes itself when I swap it out. If it's software related, I guess I'm screwed.
I just think that you guys have something that's polling regularly ??
Yet another example.

thats because the evo leaves the connection on. this is the whole point of "idle", so everybody doesnt complain of battery on 4g. now we are faced with a different problem. the video is hard to argue with. lets bug sammy to come up with a solution. until then, those who are affected by this just go back to 3g?

2. no one is going to bother cuz of "oh its that guy again with his same problem" factor.
stop wasting time and go get a replacement before its to late.

Dude, stop being a dufus.
It's supposed to kick back in in a matter of seconds.
It isn't, clearly as my video shows.
You have a weather widget which probably polls, plus god knows how many other widgets and apps pulling in stuff every few seconds.
I have stock, with no apps apart from a clock on the home screen.
I will be swapp[ing the phone out tomorrow. I will then do the same tests with stock software out of the box,and see what happens when it idles.
I will come back here and let you know what happens. I will humbly apologise for wasting time if it's seen to be a hardware thing, but for now I will hold judgment.

You're covering the antenna. It's not "the problem the iphone 4 has", it's the problem all phones have when you cover the antenna. They lose signal. It's just easier to notice when you have a lower than usual signal to begin with. (or in the case of the iphone 4 its easier to cover an exposed antenna.)

Uhh, if hes asking what we mean by different radio version, perhaps it wouldnt be wise to get him to flash a new radio. Could potentially brick his phone if hes not careful.

First of all i love this phone to death
But theres only 1 problem
When im in low signal areas and i hold the phone on the bottom left with my left hand, it loses signal, kinda like the problem with the iphone 4
But when i release my hand from there it gets signal again

Most phones do that if you cover the antenna. If you slide out the keyboard and hold it normally, you'll also lose your wi-fi signal.

Just an fyi flashing radios is one of the safest things you can do. Since it goes through the bootloader there a few failsafes built in. People have tried purposely to brick there phone that way so they can send it to tmobile and no one was ever able to. Flashing things through fastboot is safer than crossing a street.

Lol yeah i dont even know how to root :/
But does changing the radio give a stronger signal?
I could find someone through classifieds to do it

dont worry about it. Changing your radio will not in any way make up for the fact that when you physically cover the antenna your signal deteriorates.

Think of your antenna like a flashlight. Cover the bulb and you get no light. Same concept, cover the antenna and you get no signal. Changing the radio MIGHT do something, but no software can overcome a hardware handicap. Since you dont know how to root either, id recommend staying away from anything related to modding your phone until you're ready.

Yes i know covering it will result in a weaker signal, but i had a htc snap before, and i tried covering it on purpose, it would never lose signal
But this phone -_- grrrrrrr

Different phones have different antenna positions, and they also report signal strength in bars differently.
