For about the 3rd time in 3 weeks LTE is out again. Of course each time when it goes I am assuming it is my phone and I do a complete wipe only to find out it is the service. I am about ready to go back to my droid x! Nationwide outage again according to VZ.
not just lte this time, 3g is out too. someone must've spilled coffee on the main server or something.
Yep no 3g or 4g in Toledo ohio
Out in Chicago also.
No 4g here in Olympia WA

Apparently this affects all phones differently. The samsung charge right next to me has rock solid 4g while I am getting 3g for about 5 out of every 10 mins on my bionic.

Seems like VZ should give some kind of refund for every day the service is down. This is beginning to get a bit absurd. I have unlimited data for $19.95 and it still ticks me off.

This must be why i lost 3g about 230 this morning and it has popped up working again around 8 but is rather jumpy...

Call them and ask. But be warned. If you pay $19.98 and you were down for a day, the refund is $0.66.
Yeah, I lost it early this AM in Los Angeles as well. I'm not pissed because I'm happy it wasn't my phone.....
No problems down here in southeast texas. 3g/4g works no problems...
4g/3g in Philly, when my phone gets around to it

So I just made the switch from T-Mobile from my beloveded Sensation today. I was in my 30 day trial still (coming from Sprint to T-Mobile) so im returning it. Both horrible service where I live. So that's why I have chosen Verizon. I have the LG revolution for now until Thursday when my Bionic comes in I will make the swap.
Coming from two HTC phones (sensation and evo) I'm excited to check out the Bionic. Especially on Verizons lte network. Anyone else getting one on launch day or making the switch from another carrier?

getting mine on friday probably!!!!!!!
What is the best option!? I've heard Amazon, Best Buy, Costco? Any SOLID suggestions on where I should get mine on Thursday!??!
I will be switching from ATT. I have dropped so many calls the last couple of weeks it has been unbearable. The only bad thing is that Verizon is not officially in my county, but they have better reception here than ATT. The best part is that we have a huge corporate account with Verizon and I still get unlimited data.
Im getting mine from one of my local Verizon stores. Can't wait. Although I'm an HTC fan I think I'm gonna like using something different.

I will most likely get it from Costco on Thursday, because the have it bundled with a bunch of accessories for $299.
Gonna try costo myself...if it holds to be true with the included acc pack...crossing my fingers

I didn't even think of that... but since I purchased the LG revolution today to get me started I get to return it without the re stocking fee Thursday and purchase my bionic. I'm just hoping I'm gonna like it coming from the evo and the sensation.

If I don't buy mine from a verizon store, can I still use my new every 2 discount..at let's say...costco??
My Bionic will be here in the morning. I had the D1,D2,DX,Fascinate, and currently the Thunderbolt. The cool thing is i have not come out of pocket for any of my phones since the D1 lol. I hope something can be done about the bootloader if not of well Ill give Bionic to the wife and take her Thunderbolt
Can anyone confirm this? My bionic will not pick up 4g.

Probably the worst place the ask this question. Drill down how many bionic owners live in Akron, then drill down how many actually know what xda-developers is...May want to try the vzw support forum, but since you already called, pull the battery, if it doesn't come back, see about bringing the handset in.
I live in akron but will not be home until tomorow.

I am home now and 4g is working great on my phone here in akron.

I live near canton and 4G works every day for me in Canton and worked fine in Akron this weekend.
They had to send me a new sim. Idk why but they turned my original sim off? Even tho it picked up 3g
Sent from my DROID BIONIC using xda premium
Hopefully the SIM card worked. I took my bionic into vzw with complaints about the phone losing data, and when changing from 4g to 3g, it would loose data connection also, and it wouldnt pick up 4g when it should have. first they gave me a new SIM and sent me on my way.
That didn't help, and two days later, went back into vzw. After a factory data wipe and telling the vzw rep that a wipe wouldnt help, luckily the phone wouldnt go into 4G in the store, and they finally realized that the phone had a problem.
The new phone seems to be much better, but occasionally it will take a while to switch from 4g to 3g or 1g.

The switch from 4g or 1x to 3g is a problem that all verizon 4g phones have. It is a problem with the 1st generation 4g chips. The only debate Is whether it is a hardware problem or a firmware problem. Unfortunately for all of us, verizon is skirting the issue and seriously procrastinating about fixing it.

In case you're wondering why 4G isn't working for you. Verizon has yet another outage on there hands.

Yeah I was wondering what was going on and that's what I figured ha. Don't know if you experienced this but my text messaging went out for like half a day last week I thought it was funny that they put it on their automated system that they were having problems
Yep it's out in Hawaii. Only 3G, 1X and Wifi for me!
I had absolutely no data from Verizon for about 4 hours this morning in Ohio. I found out about the outage when I called to complain.

Ok you guys are not going to believe this. Since my wife is a data hog doing 40 gigabytes a month they gave her a Droid 4. She was using a 3G LG Ally
They said they want to get the heavy users off of the 3G network. So as an incentive they are giving discounts to people that are heavy users with 3g phones to upgrade to 4G usually 100 off. My wife was an extreme case so they gave her the droid 4 for free. How backwards and awesome is that? So moral of the story.... be a data hog and get yourself a free 4G device. LOL
I am hearing rumors that they want to clear 3g for I phone users because Iphone will not be receiving 4g!! Yikes Stinks to be an apple lover!!
Ha! So that's why my account got flagged for $100 off with an early upgrade!
I got no such deal. I got mine for the $200

how is tmobile reception primarily on east coast? Looking to get rid of big red.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using xda premium
If Big Red is crappy don't go to another CDMA carrier - it is even crappier. Sprint has no coverage in some parts whatsoever.
I had T-Mobile last year and it was way better.

Not that its garbage. Look to spend less then I am for three lines. I am at around 150 for one line with an unlimited data smartphone and two regular lines.

Anyone else? Even if not on long island.

Ymmv with any carrier. I live in Jersey City, NJ. T-Mobile's coverage where I live rivals that of Verizon. (I should know, I have accounts, with both companies and a Rezound in my house) I also have a multi line account with T-Mobile. As far as I'm concerned, the only reason I even haz Verizon is Sparky wanted a Rezound.

Good feedback. Thanks! If I could just unload Verizon with nine months left on contract, it would be nice.

I'm in he same exact position as you. I wanna leave this ass backwards company. And around Philadelphia T-Mobile is strong. Constant 6-7 megs down. It usually smokes my lte on my thunderbolt unless I'm standing next to a tower

The only option barring a move to T-Mo is obvious....set up a tent under a Verizon tower.

Occupy VZW Tower!
I can't say much about the east coast, I live in Hawaii, on a rock in the middle of a huge pond. Service here is varied but all carriers here have equal amounts of coverage, but varies in different places based on who got priority on that tower location. Also, no HSPA+ or LTE here for anyone
TMobile.
