I'm in Pittsburgh and we're getting pounded with wind and rain. They've already cancelled school for the next 2 days and the stores are a mad house.

I'm from Florida. Cat 1 barely rates bringing in the lawnchairs, plastic pink flamingos and putting on a rain jacket. Life doesn't get sporty until you get to Cat 3 or higher!

Just north of Baltimore. Lots of wind and moderate rain. Not getting slammed as bad as we did last year this time. The blizzard put 2.5 feet of snow on my kitchen roof and caved it in. The best is yet to come according to the news.

Im in brooklyn NY and the wind here has been crazy so far on my block 3 cars and one house porch smashed in by huge tree branches. But just 15 min ago the best (or worst ) one, a whole tree with the concrete block surrounding it gets knocked over across the whole street and into the yard across it just missing the house by a few feet.
As a side note low light pictures with my SG3 are not bad .....

North East MD here..just wanted to give a shout out to verizon for letting a sprint customer roam on their service...sprint service stayed working but was so bad with 1 bar ..luckily my note and gs3 would jump on the verizon network and my speeds would increase by 10 (3g)...i know some folks might be tired of hearing me say it but sprint should be ashamed of themselves for calling what i have "premium data"..and charging me accordingly...

I read about it online today and didn't realize how bad it was along the coast! Prayers go out to those affected by this storm

That's not funny.. OK its funny..
Battery life is easily the worst part of this phone. Better batteries can't come soon enough.
I typically get 16 hours of normal usage (phone, text, email). I don't constantly stream Pandora or Netflix over 3G though...
Light usage gets me 24-26 on average. Of course, I start getting nervous once the battery gets below 40%. I'm used to it dropping like a rock after that from my days on the Moment with Froyo.

Don't even say that! And I couldn't imagine samsung letting them do that. They know it would crush them. This service will never come in time for this phone but it doesn't later cause this phone had the best battery life of any phone I have used our seen hands down. With multi core processors and more energy efficient phones and this new battery technology coming it is going to be so nice. I'll want me a electric crotch rocker that will go 10x father than the beastly ones that they have now. Pros for posting this for us sir. I appreciate it

[Q] Abysmal Signal Strength, hardware or software

I've got the Nexus on Verizon and I am getting terrible cell reception. From where I am my other family members iPhone 4 is getting 3 bars while mine is either 1-2 bars or struggling to find a signal. To me this is a huge dealbreaker and I wanted to know if this is an unfixable hardware issue or a software issue that will be fixed in a later update because if it is hardware then I might use my exchange to get the HTC Rezound. Any help would be great, thanks!

Good luck with this thread. The fan boys will dominate you soon saying there are no problems. I have a thread on here highlighting the issues "sgn bad reception" and its clear as day there is an issue. But everyone will defend it.
However the adr mod with the xxkk6 radio seems to be a bit better for me anyways.

Well being a fan boy dosent help anything because there is definetly something wrong here. Standing in the same spot as me, the iPhone is getting several bars while mine cannot even find a signal.

Mine has terrible signal. My 4g is useless. It seems even on 3g my battery is eaten by my phone looking for solid signal.I can't listen to Pandora on 3g without buffering. I had a rent a razor. It had amazing 4g Always. Tier 2 cs offered to send me a new gnex. I didn't take it. I don't think it will fix anything. Thinking about trading back for a Razr. I

I have fantastic 4G signal almost everywhere in Atlanta GA. Had a bit of a glitch inside a large high rise building though on the 19th. no 4G at all there and it seems hand-off to 3g isn't that great. Been solid since though.
Nevermind. I'm just cranky.

Yeah if it doesn't improve by the time I reach the end of my exchange window, I am going to exchange for another phone and just put ICS on it. Its a shame because I really like the os :/

I'm a professional claims adjuster for an insurance company. I currently do homeowners daily claims and CAT(catastrophic storm damage), but I'm licensed to do automobile and commercial property as well. I live in Florida so we get a lot of CAT claims during storm season when the hurricanes and tropical storms come thru. Got a hurricane headed this way this weekend and if it stays on its projected path it's going to come right over our house
ETA: technically I'm self employed since I'm independent, I work on contract and don't have to go into and office and choose my own hours. I work out of my home office but have to go to peoples homes to do inspections(survey and photograph damage, and measure and sketch the dwelling). Prior to this I worked as a HVAC tech, and before that I worked as a sub contractor doing all kinds of things from new construction to home repairs/remodels, and before that I did graphic design(mostly contract art for websites and advertising)

Getting frustrated

I have no idea why but the past day my phone has been acting stupid. It will send some time texts perfectly fine, but after so many it keeps saying they failed. Like right now I got 3 texts out before it did it. Then I reboot, a couple more and does it again, but apparently the person on the other end is still getting them. I have good signal (I should considering I have a damn airave right below me) I've been running Blu Kuban 1.0.5.0 since it came out so I don't think it has anything to do with the ROM. Please someone help me.

Are you serious? A tropical storm hits the east coast and your profile says that you're in Pennsylvania, and you're complaining about terrible service?
Of course you are experiencing terrible cellular reception. There is a major storm!

Sprint sucks sometimes sending messages. It's not your location and it's not Sandy. It happens all the time it's just Sprint's network. I always hit resend even tho I know they go thru just so I won't see the failed symbol and get complains of double texting lol

Looks like Sprint may be, at the very least, testing LTE on the Space Coast. I am in Cocoa across from Brevard Community College and I saw this little gem today. (see attached)

He means Florida, near Kennedy Space center. Called the space coast because of the space shuttles.
Interesting added fact: Area code for the location is 321.
As in, blastoff.
Correct.
