so i have htc vivid from att. currently i am using it on straight talk 45 unlimited plane.
i was unable to switch to wcdma only or gsm only by using *#*$4636#*#* so its staying on gsm auto.
the worst thing is that i am only getting around 3 hours of talk time on full charge.
according to spec i should be getting around 7.
stand by time is execellent i can let it sit on desk with days without any problem. i can get around 4.5 hours of non stop web browsing on wifi.
so any of you guys have any input on this matter ?

My T-mobile service is completely down as of 8:30pm central 11/03/09. I read an article that says that T-mobile reports only 5% of users have had their service down but from my facebook and twitter blowing up with a lot of status/tweets about T-mo's outage it seems more are affected. Just wanted to see if you guys were getting no service as well...
succs for yall...
what rom are you using? because that happened to me and i was runnin cyanogens latest, so i thought it was the roms fault, so i switched over to sensHERO 1.1.1 and everything is fine now...
T-mo's always down for me.. been roaming 100% of the time for the past 5 months lol. Luckily there's no roaming fees for both voice and data
Doubt t-mo outages do anything to roaming services...I haven't had any issues anyway
damn fa real ^^^^ needa get a new phone!.. lol...or take ya 3g off!
lol tell me about it. T-mo says Edge/Gprs is the main cost to the G1 data plan, 3g is just a "freebie" lol ya right w/e. Anyway I tether the heck out of my edge connection way out here in the boonies. and Cellular One, Alltel and Verizon are my only other options... ~$60 for a dedicated data plan OR smartphone add on.. and no 3g on any of those either.. dam I need to get back to civilization ..
You can find me on "Androids Around 2", I'm the only one in the entire state of montana LOL
yeah, i reflashed xrom thinking it was the rom...then my friend showed me on her iphone all these facebook and twitter updates about t-mo being down...
my service is completely down. no 3g, no phone, nothing. can't even call 911. only wifi.
maybe try switching to roaming and seeing if it works. enable roaming then goto network operators and select one that's not t-mo (so long as you have an international calling plan)..
just got service back...we'll see if T-mo's got some rebates lined up for us..if not...no biggie...hope it doesn't happen again...
Good to hear.
It'll probably happen again, it's happened about three times in the five or so years I've been with em usually only a couple hours or so long tho.. But I figure that's probably about average for most large networks.
My phone(XV6900 Verizon) recently decided it wanted nothing to do with 3G towers or connections. It also started burning through batteries twice as fast. The radio seems to be malfunctioning, 3G will show every once in a while....but just for a moment before it switched back to 1X or E. This all started randomly while running Myn's rls 5. Although it is pervasive and I get the exact same results even after flashing back to stock Verizon ROM and upgrading to 3.77.78 radio from 3.77.77 I was running. I have driven from Washington D.C. to Florida while streaming Pandora and never lost 3G signal. My town is fully covered and my house never used to have anything less than 3 bars of 3G signal.
What could be causing this sudden refusal to work with 3G?? I've been trying everything I could think of for a few weeks now. All sorts of flashing of ROMs and all have the same problem. Here's to hoping you guys have some insight....
I am near the DC area and have found that lately (past couple of weeks) I get more dead spots and/or Extended area coverage than I used to. My buddy that I carpool with has an Incredible and his overall coverage problems are not much better than mine (he just switched from an Eris, which also had these issues lately). That battery drain may most likely be from searching for 3G signal. I also recently drove from this area to southern VA and back using Pandora without problem. Hate to say it may be just Verizon mucking things up around here.

My 3G isn't spotty, it's non-existent. When the phone finds a 3G tower and I force a data connection it will try and fail. Then it will eventually make a 1X connection.
For the last three days (since Monday really), I'm experiencing random data drop outs on my Nexus One running CM6. for reference, I'm using the 4.06 radio
This is a new issue, just started Monday. I'm in an 3G area - normally when I fire up a data connection, the indicator goes from 3G to 'H'. But when the issue presents itself, it alternates between H and 3G.
But nowadays, randomly, data just *stops* working..normally for a few minutes at a time. If I enter and exit Airplane mode, it seems to go back to working.
Anyone experiencing something similar? Also, the issue is appearing at different parts around Portland Oregon - in locales miles away form each other (like 20 miles away).
I'm on T-Mobile. This issue has never happened before Monday - for me, T-Mobile's data network has been rock solid in the areas I frequent.
I'm on T-Mo in Washington, and was seeing similar probs.
I think T-Mo may be doing some maintenance?

well, it's nice to know I'm not alone. ..it keeps happening with more frequency today and is starting to tick me off.

Been happening the last few weeks for me too (CM6 and MIUI), luckily I had my regular GPS.
Restarting, flight mode, 2G, alternate APN...nothing brings back data. Probably a network issue like the above poster mentioned.
After 2-3 days of not messing with the phone anymore (flashing, putting root apps, etc) my somewhat alright LTE signal has now turned into 3G with no circle around it meaning it's connected to the network, but not actually getting data. It happened while I had the phone in standby for a few minutes, so I can't think of any one app that caused it. Reinstalled rom even after a full wipe.
The strange thing is I will sometimes get a faint signal of 3G which then dissapears within a minute. I did the latest OTA before I flashed my rom so I should have the newest radios and everything. I can't update profile either. My family is getting good signal so I know it's something with my phone. Any ideas?
Happened to me too..I re activated with Hands Free activation to reset the data connection to Sprints network..Only worked twice for me through out the day then the phone was just stuck in the same spot as yours (3G with circle around it). Nothing we did reset the data link to sprints network(cust. svs rep).I brought the phone back to where I bough it and they didn't allow an exchange unless they held the phone over night to test it..I didn't have time for it and everything i hear about the Triband set up Sprint is doing not allowing data while in a call and the growing pains of the network rebuild have worn down on me after 10 years so i had to return the phone and buy it on a network that allowed the phone to operate the way it was meant to..
When I first got the phone, it would hold an LTE signal much better than my m7. Then last night I notice LTE cutting in & out where it was pretty stable before. I check it was trying to connect to Band 26 which is 800 LTE. It might have been from a further away tower. This was the first time I have ever seen Band 26 in my area which is currently being deployed. The constant cutting in & out also drains my battery down. This has nothing to do with my phone but the towers which my home tower has been having issues since last July. For now I set my phone to CDMA only since I have wi-fi at home & work anyway I don't need the phone on LTE. Even when LTE was working on 1900 which was stable, the signal was still pretty week and would drain more batter than a strong 1X signal. Since LTE is data only right now, there is no reason to have the phone prefer LTE when wi-fi is on. With CDMA only it's not bouncing around all over the place.
Has anyone had issues with Verizon and getting this watch connected on their network? I have litterly spent over 6 hours with them and they still can't get it working. I've been in the store twice and on the phone with them for hours and nobody can get it working.
