Anyone on Virgin Mobile been having the worst reception lately? I get no 3G, pure 1x. This occurred to me almost a week ago now. Reception goes from 3 to 0. And sometimes no data at all.
I'm on the east coast at PA Philadelphia, and I don't know if Virgin Mobile is doing something, or if its that Hurricane that's hitting.

Also, MMS keeps doing this when downloaded, and some other error when sending after 10 minutes.

I had these said issues few days back on stock or custom Rom. Virgins network sucks right now. I'm thinking of getting unlocked nexus from Google. Freedom of choice that way

You had them, did they go away, or do you still have them?
I think it's Sprint. Releasing phones with LTE, while they don't have LTE yet. Maybe Sprint is doing something. They said something about LTE in December.
Yea they persisted for a few days. But now back to average speeds and connection times. Slow still

You need to exchange it asap. It's as simple as that, you have a bad unit. A software patch or anything else isn't really going to help you. So save yourself some headache and just call up Verizon. Tests have been done (on working units) that show the nexus gets similar or even better connections compared to Verizon's other offerings.
I tested this myself vs my fiance's Droid 3. She showed more bars than I but I had a better download speed and slightly lower db. Both on 3G. To be more conclusive, she had four bars while I had NONE and similar db.
The only thing Verizon is going to do is make our bars show like the Droid 3 and other phones such as the RAZR. So exchange until you get a working unit, we really can't help you. That is all.

You just verified that Verizon is doing the right thing. It's not the bars that matter it's the db. If you are getting similar db then you are getting the same signal strength regardless of whether it shows 1 or 4 bars.
I think this is what I'm going to do. I only have until next Thursday to return the phone since I bought my Gnex from a non-corporate store so tomorrow I'm going to take my re-locked nexus back and exchange for another. If that one still sucks in the reception department, I guess I'm getting a Razr.
Added pictures of what a working device should be getting for more evidence that this isn't everyone's problem.

Already switched out my device once and it is having the exact same problem. So I have 2 brand new phones and the first one worked great for a couple days and then they had their nationwide outage. I kind of doubt Verizon will keep switching phones until they find a working one...if indeed that is the problem. I figured if it was a phone defect that new sites would be all over this.
What is considered a good signal strength reading? Mine has varied from -80 to -110 at times.
Between -85 and -75 is considered excellent.

I've got the T-Mobile SGS3, and am getting horrible reception.. time without a signal hovers around 30% at home on this phone, where as both my Nexus One and Sensation had no problems whatsoever with signal. Going for WCDMA preferred instead of GSM auto (default out of the box setting) didn't help.. fwiw, I'm getting 3-4 bars of signal on the statusbar.
is anyone else having this issue, or is my phone just a lemon?
Thanks!
bump.. no one else is seeing bad reception?

Im on sprint, and my signal is piss poor also. Take forever to logon to pandora and forget about watching any videos, impossible. I'm thinking the modern needs an update. What's the sense in having this bad ass phone if we can't even listen to internet radio in peace. I'm going back to my SSG2, and getting my HBO back for lunch
I'm still getting 25-30% time without a signal, just sitting at home.. why is the signal strength for the SGS3 so bad?! Is it a Samsung issue? I've only had HTC android phones before this one.
just decided to test out my normal data speeds when home and not using wifi and im shocked to find out im only getting in the 20-40 kb/s a second download while the upload is a normal 1500-2000 kb/s most of the time. my internet/play store/etc were working fine while i was at work yesterday over the tmobile network, not sure of exact speeds though. i cant remember the last time i used the mobile network at my house and not wifi so i cant tell if its my house as a problem or just some flukey network problem but ive been trying to find everything that would cause this with no luck so far. any ideas?
Are you rooted and do you have your IMEI? What's your signal strength? Go to settings / about phone/ status and signal
I personally average between 73-85dBm and I gt good speeds

There appears to be a problem with the T-Mobile network today. Started earlier this morning on all my phones and friends phones. I'm in southern California

yes i am rooter but i still have my imei, i was just out for a bit and did a speedtest near the store and it came out decent enough. just got back home and getting around 7.2 mb/s down and 1.4 up with a 340 ping, not great but workable. im guessing it was just on tmobiles end, and a coincidence it worked itself just in time for me to test it again out of the house thanks for the help!
I've been using a Sprint Galaxy Note 2 in Chicago since Thursday.
Last night I was in an area where I thought there should be 4G but was only getting 3G. I did an airplane mode toggle and when it came back on I connected to 4G. There have been other times that I was on 3G and did switch to 4G automatically but there have been a lot of times that I seem stuck on 3G for awhile.
Is this likely b/c I'm still getting a weak 4G signal and as it gets stronger the automatic switchover should be more frequent (or else I would just always be on 4G) or could this be signs of a similar bug that's plagued the EVO LTE?
Anybody else finding they need to toggle airplane mode to connect to LTE?
No LTE in my area so I unfortunately cant confirm or deny this issue.
I have a few LTE spots in my market and my phone picked up the signal each time I drive by them.

99% of the time I stay locked on to 4g in my area. Nothing like my Evo 4g LTE which I had to trick into locking onto LTE with *#*#4636#*#* or whatever it was. This thing is much more LTE reliable.
Op try switching roam mode to home (sprint only). This have worked real well for me.

Thanks, I'll give this a try.
--Edit--
Just to confirm you are telling me to change Roaming Network from Automatic to Home Only. Is that correct?

Hey folks what firmware did your sim free UK only please lte note 2 come with and three UK customers also.
Having some troubles here if I'm browsing the Web and my signal icon is H+ everything fine but if it drops to H/3G my data just crashes, tried a few different radios so far but still same thing happening wanna try all possibilities before having to send back really, this is what I got so far and you can see my speeds are insane but it's just annoying now.

The phone will drop to 3G to conserve battery when data is not in use. I believe there's a way to force HSPA only, you're going to have to search for it. Your phone and its radio firmware are fine though.

Currently on giffgaff and was thinking about switching to Three to take advantage of DC-HSDPA and eventually 4G, but it's worrying if the data connection is that flakey.
Sorry I can't offer any help but will be keeping a close eye on this thread and hopefully will give some insight about the Three network. The lack of 2G fallback for calls also bothers me.

I understand it will drop when not in use but this is when I'm on a website browsing it will drop and If I click a link it won't do anything it's weird

4.1.1 7105 on t-mobile does not do that, works fine.
I'm having okay data connection using the modem in your screenshot. N7105 on Three.
3G H H+ all working fine but there are some dark spots where I can't get data even with H+ on full strength.
