Anyone in the Miami (or near), Florida Area Getting Bad 4G?

*I posted this over on Androidcentral to get more input.. I wanted to see a broad idea of the people getting good/bag 4g.
(Don't know if this falls in question or general discussion, seeing as it is discussing)
Hello everyone. Anyone in the Miami area or near Miami, Florida, getting good or bad 4G.?
Well on my 2nd GNexus here with bad 4g (no 4g or flakey 4g) Tried 4.0.2 -> 4.0.4. radios.
I get 1 bar for 5 minutes and boom it's gone till I reboot or sim card pull, tried a new sim card as well.
Just seeing what kind of 4g people are getting in my area.
Thanks.

yea it really sucks down here. theirs only a few places were ive gotten full 4G bars

Welcome to the club.
It is pathetic in East Phoenix-Metro, AZ. As I type this, my nexus has NO data whatsoever and it has been going in and out frequently. Today was quite embarrassing as well, for when I was in school, I needed to pull up a Google Doc on my phone, BUT what was my connection? GREY BAR NO DATA! Verizon, I pay you in excess of $100 dollars a month and this is what I get? What was that again, Most reliable 3G and 4G networks?????
Phoenix was one of the first cities in the US to get LTE on Verizon, and now I am wondering why the first has to be the last in reliability.

I've been using my GSM Nexus in Miami for over two weeks and everything's been fine so far. T-Mobile doesn't have great signal strength indoors, but I've had that issue with every phone I've had with them. I'm about to switch to StraightTalk using AT&T's network so I'll let you know how it goes, but no problems to speak of so far!

similar issues in Chicago area....no data, greyed out 4g, etc. i also have mifi and that had issues connecting as well

Verizon....the new ATT.

4g is out in Washington DC also.

Same here in Minneapolis

No 4G in NYC this morning. Besides not having data, service been terrible here in the city since I switch from at&t last week , I usually get 40mbs here in my house on At&t, I get 5mbs on Verizon LTE sucks plus I have not seen full bars on the phone yet. Is it the phone or just how the service is? I still got a week until my 14 days return period. What to do

I used my LTE Toggle to turn 4g off and I picked up a 3g signal after about 30 seconds. 3g now holding fine.

No 4G in Pittsburgh, PA. Oh Verizon, you silly people and your "improving the network".

I can't even get 3g.

San diego. 4g is out. Intermittent 3g

Experiencing some issues downloading those expense reports via your Verizon LTE device this morning? You're not alone. We've received reports of data outages in Indianapolis, Milwaukee, Phoenix, Pennsylvania and Ohio. We've reached out to VZW to find out what the issue is, and as soon as and we know more we'll post it right here. For now, let us know if your LTE is letting you down in the comments below.
Update: Via Twitter, Verizon states "VZW is investigating customer issues in connecting to the 4GLTE data network. 3G data, voice and text services are operating reliably." However, we're hearing reports that 3G is down for customers as well in some areas.

It's a mix of both. For example, I come from a Droid Razr Maxx and that thing had amazing signal and held 4G just fine. But sometimes Verizon could be derpy, atleast not for me though.
So after reading all these replies (thanks guys) seems like its a widespread problem.
edit: Oh what a coincidence, my 4G problems lined up with this outage, but no guys my issues of no 4g, are seperate outage or not sadly

Sprint Network Down?

I'm in So Cal (The Valley to be exact) and my phone has had NO service for a few hours now. When I say no service, I mean NO service, I get the circle indicating my device is searching for a network. When I reboot the phone, it connects to Sprint but I don't have any signal. Then soon after that, I COMPLETELY lose service. Hopefully maybe nearby towers are being worked on. Though, seems unlikely at this time of night, AND i'd still be able to connect to another nearby tower. Anyone else having any service issues?

Sprint is going their network vision updates throughout all of la county right now. Trust me, the blackouts are worth it. They're doing work on the towers near me and my speeds are easily topping the 1mb download and upload. So far I've maxed out at a little over 2mb download and 1500kbps upload! I average around 1500kbps down and 1000kbps up. Your signal will be a bit iffy for the next few weeks though.
Edit: there's a new prl update it and at first u had crippling speeds but as I began to use my 3G more, my speeds are increasing. I was freaking out for a bit but just another heads up.

Keep using data on 3G. Mine was like that too but it gradually got better to the point I can stream YouTube videos in HQ easily. I was freaking out too

Lock into roaming until the upgrades are done. Problem solved.

Yea, I used "Road Control", and im roaming (Im assuming on Verizon) right now. Glad I can text and make calls atleast!

Or just get the .002 PRL and use roam control

Yup. I don't have 4G in my area

It wasn't down. that's just sprint's normal speed. Seriously though, I'm in the valley and have not noticed a down network, just incredibly slow 3g with random data loss that requires me to turn off data and turn it back on.

I live in Norco/Corona area and I haven't experienced any of these issues :/

You have to do manual. Those zips are not CWM flashable.

.....My post had NOTHING to do with bandwidth received through 3G or 4G, my phone couldn't find the Sprint network, Period. No voice/text for that matter. Though, it was definitely the tower near me, because im in a different location now and all is good.

Yup expect that for the next month or two. When they worked on the towers near me, it was usually in the early morning. I usually had voice but no data. I say be patient, the speed is worth it. I love being able to clearly stream YouTube videos and Pandora now.

I use to work for sprint. Climbing towers. When I was there we tried to get the work done with least impact but a lot of it is driven by sprint's request and how many people are using the tower. If you have consistant LoS call sprint and ask them to check the tower or ask for them to open a ticket for a line sweep. Some of the times we had bent cables, which will block a lot of the signal.

New bell SGSIII drops signal all the time

Just got the phone today and rooted it right away In the last 7 hours its dropped about 7 times. Im not sure if its because of root or what. I have not installed any other rom.

Its not the root... Its the carrier

Foot shouldn't affect cellular signal at all, all that rooting does is give superuser

Could it be because im inside and its trying to switch between H+ and LTE all the time? Is there a toggle i can just keep it at H+?

I would find that unlikely but you can try being on HSPA only and see what happens

You can go to settings, more, mobile networks and switch from gsm/lte or just gsm. But I have not dropped data other than H to 3G every once and a while in weird areas but not a whole lot, but talk to bell online chat and see what they say.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Tapatalk 2

what do you mean it loses signals?
does it get disconnected to the network completely? and you get the emergency calls only message?
because that happens to me as well. I am also thinking its because the phone tries to switch from LTE to H+ over and over.

I think I'm getting the same problem, a fee times a day i get zero signal, then all of a sudden it pops to full signal, without moving the phone. When i lost the signal, it says emergency calls only...

I had the same issue downtown Ottawa. I switched to HSPA+ only and the problem went away. Turned out, Bell was working on their LTE stuff and that was going up and down and so did the phone. Now, it is all good.

Try having Bell reset your connection from their system....then get them to give you a different SIM card.

I had the exact same thing happen to me when I was in a zone not completly covered by LTE, whenever my phone lost LTE connection I would lose all signal for a bit to eventually drop back to HSPA+, I simply disabled LTE until the coverage reaches where I am completly.

Yep, disabled LTE for now. Problem has gone away and battery life fixed

me and my brother have had the issue in dowtown ottawa on rogers. seems fine in my apt in the market but on a patio and at a restaurant it just wouldnt work!! couldnt send texts, or receive, couldnt call, sometimes it showed i had full bars and lte but couldnt do anything. my brother complained about this the day before. i will try disabling lte next time

LTE Speed in NYC

Hello my fellow Note 2 users,
I know LTE hasn't come to NYC yet, so I went on the Web today looking for a location that had LTE in NYC, and found a overlay map (on singlar?) over google of 4G LTE signals available in NYC. It gave a location, so I took the 1.5 hour trip to it to see if it was true. And it WAS!
I went to the corner of 45th Street of Avenue of the Americas (6th Ave) and waited for a few mins. After a while my phone found the LTE signal and connected to it. It was the first time since I got this phone a week ago that it connected to a 4G signal and I was mega excited.
I did a few speed tests and here are the results in the pics I'm uploading.
Honestly, when they flip the switch on this network city wide, you guys are gonna LOVE it. Blazing fast, in the middle of the afternoon might I add!

Those speeds look better than what I've been seeing in nyc. Hopefully Sprint turns this on in Staten Island too.

I did the same thing last week. For some reason my phone could not find the LTE signal. I have to try again.

@ Bojackr1 Yeah bro, head back out there and stand there for a while. It might take a min. or two, but it should connect. If it doesn't, go to Settings->more settings ->mobile networks ->network mode. And make sure your preferred network mode is: LTE/CDMA
If not, you might want to switch out to a diff one, reboot, and then go back in, switch it back to LTE/CDMA and then reboot. Hopefully by now it should connect. Post up screen shots if you do go and run some tests please.
@Bxreppa Holy crap dude. What are you doing on a station in the Bronx at 5:40AM? Your a brave man for whipping or your SGN2 on a likely empty station. Lol

According the to Sprint Rep. that activated my phone (so take it with a grain of salt), these are LTE test towers. The one on the Bronx has (supposedly) been up for a while, and others might show up in NYC before they throw the switch.

Sprint needs to show some love for Shaolin. I can get good wimax in my area but horrible 3G.

@Airbruce its actually safe and crowded with commuters during the week at that time. Their some areas in the bronx you have to be alert but thats with anywhere.

On Aldine Bender, dead in the middle of 45/59...

How are phone calls working for you?
Hastily spouted for your befuddlement

Made one call this morning through my car just fine and just called voicemail as well...

OK got something...went into network and disabled LTE and it's working...maybe the LTE towers are being worked on...
Still kinda goofy because the LTE/4G/3G is set to "auto" like it should try to find the 4G but it wasn't...

Yeah, I've been keeping LTE off for now until they work everything out. I noticed LTE was draining my battery even though it wasn't connecting to the LTE network.

Ouch...that's like NOT slamming the throttle down in my Mustang, gonna be rough, LOL...
I'm connected almost always with WIFI anyway, i'll check every now and then to see if they're getting it worked out...Thanks for the help!

Well I still connect to the 4G HSPA network so I'm just getting the speeds I'm used to. I would love to get LTE but it doesn't bother me too much. Plus in my office I BARELY connect to 4G if I keep my phone in one square foot of space on my desk...other than that I get EDGE only...

Yeah i'm usually UMTS at home but had great LTE at work for the first couple weeks of it (mid 20 down, mid teen up)...it is what it is for now, just want to make sure that when i get on the road tonight for NOLA that my phone isn't screwed, finding fixes like that suck, lol...
