If you are here is how to fix it:
Sprint had recently rolled out the Airnirvanna which is a signal booster you can get for free!

Have an Airrave at the house where we are. It's nice but going from Sprint to the Airrave and back again is annoying at times. It does work damn good however.

According to this post, it's been around for a few years.
got one a while back. it's hit or miss whether it works well depending on it's mood and depending on your location.
In addition, if you're on a call, and you leave it's range, it doesn't seamlessly switch over, it drops your call.
So mine just sits nicely in the corner, protecting a spot on my floor from dust.
This operates on all bands including are jew 800Mhz band. Also the product is not new but the number is.

I'm not sure. I never heard of it, but the reviews are throwing me off. Maybe if I see more people saying good things about it, I'll try it.
Thanks for posting this! I'll keep this in mind if my reception gets bad again. I think Sprint was working on towers in my area for several months but seems to have gotten fixed in the last couple weeks.
I've had mine for close to 2 years. Happy with it.
I live in a 2 story home and it works flawlessly everywhere.
Sent From The Galaxy Via Subspace
I've had mine for 4 years in four different locations and it is definitely better than the naked Sprint signal, but also quite hit or miss and dependent on your Internet service. It worked flawlessly in my loft in Denver and very well in my first two places in Albuquerque, but barely noticeable in my house in Rio Rancho. Incidentally, my Internet absolutely sucks here so I'm positive this has much to do with the current poor performance of the Airvana.
In any case, I've been using the Airave for 4 years completely free so no complaints here. If you have poor service in your home or business, you should definitely call the number in the OP and see about picking one up. If you get denied but really need one, keep calling. Eventually they will agree to set you up.

I want make a direct comment on this, but you're honestly not making much sense. That being said, I'll try my best:
People who bought the original Nexus 4 aren't also buying the new updated Nexus 4, it's more for the people who are on Verizon or Sprint, who are unable to use the Nexus 4 on that network. It's like releasing a European version of the car so that people in Europe can buy it, too, you know, with the steering wheel on the opposite side and fun stuff like that, keeping in line with the metaphor.
Not sure what you're referring to as the "weaker transmission" here either, but with regards to the "trunk space," no one was forced to buy the initial 16GB Nexus 4, as there was almost every other phone option out there with SD cards, etc. if you really cared about space. Plus, I feel most people like myself did know that a 32 GB Nexus was coming out months later during the I/O possibly, prior to buying the Nexus 4 as they did do this with the Galaxy Nexus as well.
I was under the impression that n4 already has lte you just have to activate it in the hidden menu or something like that.

Honestly, even with the features on the Moto X, the HTC One is the better phone. If I had my upgrade today instead of two months ago, I would still go with the One. Just my opinion though. Go to a store and try out the Moto X. See which one you like more!

My wifi speeds are slower on my One than my S2. It's probably the metal but I don't think the iPhone has this problem. My speed test shows that I have 16 Mbps but the pages load as if I am getting 1 Mbps. Weird. Hopefully this is addressed in the 4.3 update if it's fixable

I switched from the moto from the One today. I switched because of the purple camera issue. 4.3 didn't fix it. I have to say I like it a lot more.
720p screen isn't bad at all, can't really tell. Its thinner than it seems in pictures. Runs really smooth. Cam is alright but havent taken any outdoor pics, just indoor so it may look better outside. The touchless controls and notifications aren't gimmicky, you'll use and like them. Moto assist is pretty good. The only thing I miss is the speakers in front.

Don't know why you would do this without trying to fix your ONE first... It's obviously a hardware issue, not software. You can do all those things on the ONE so technically it is a gimmick. You basically just downgraded.
Its the second one I've had with the issue. Just got tired of it. Doesn't feel like a downgrade at all. Only on a spec sheet comparison. Its not aluminum but built very nice, feels great.

No, actually. Active notifications alone are a god damned good reason to never go back to my One. It's life changing. Touch less controls are fantastic. AOSP + those two things, boot loader unlockable, rom interchangeability with all carrier, equally if not more smooth experience than the one plus better battery life, higher resolution camera, and the phone is repairable. My one will stay in my backpack as a backup phone, thanks.

Yeah, I hear ya bro. I initially was very happy with this phone and I mostly still am. But little things are starting to wear on me and I've been having thoughts of jumping ship.
The community for this phone is surprisingly the least active of any phone that I've ever owned. It's kind of a downer. I understand the whole locked bootloader thing, but it seems like interest is low in this phone but I'm not sure why other than the locked bootloader.
Another reason is the wifi issues. I frequently get the unstable connection message and lately my wifi performance has been terrible. I can't even watch a YouTube video without it constantly buffering.
And it seems like there is no fix in sight from Samsung. Not sure when or if there will ever be a fix.
I got in on that $150 promo code for the Moto X and I'm heavily considering getting one as an extra phone worst case scenario. But if I somehow like it, I might dump this phone and make a little profit in the process. Not sure yet.

I'm not having any issues with WiFi? I.m currently using a Belkin router on 2.4 and 5.0 GHz. You don't have a metal case on do you? Or anything near your router that could be interfering?
I personally wouldn't get rid of your phone either ...You have to remember this phone is still newer, Wait till after Christmas and watch how many more at&t note 3 users come...Development is still young I've seen this stage in almost all my experiences with prior phones. Soon as we get the boot-loader fix,,,Watch how many roms, And ported material fly this way.

Don't get rid of it bro. This phone is a beast! The screen is sick, the camera, the s pen, all the features. Ya bro this phone is no slouch! I was having bad wifi quality too. And sometimes my data was spotty. But ever since the update. ... my videos haven't buffered once and haven't had a data drop.
Plus this right here is great news!

You talking about the mj5 update? If so, I'm afraid to take it since there is no way to odin back to stock if something happens. What do you think?

Ya mj5. I think it's totally up to u. Mine auto updated, so I didn't have a choice. I wish it would have fixed the power button lag, and I wish they would have left the keyboard white. But ya we have a way to get roms on mj5 and I'm sure a Odin will b out sooner rather than later.
Up to u my man.

Does anyone know if they will have stock on-hand in corporate stores on launch day? I'm assuming so but figured there may be a store rep here who can confirm?
Thanks
We currently do not have stock for stores and we have heard nothing about getting a guaranteed shipment. But I work in Alaska, so YMMV. We are assuming we will get some in by thrle 11th.

Well.. i didn't pre-order my S4 from AT&T because they was already sold out. But the corporate store near me had 10+ in stock on launch day.. No crazy line like the iPhone releases, it was a popular city also. Not a hick town somewhere.
Your best bet is to call your local store Thursday or Friday to see if they will have any coming in.

Dude, WTF???!!! Where in Alaska? The store I went to in South Anchorage the guy said they would have plenty in stock. He did sound like an IBoy though, cause he was acting like the S5 was nothing compared to an Iphone 3G. I almost slapped him.

Fairbanks. There hasn't been a lick of communication from corporate or inventory if we are getting any. Shipments just come in as they come in.

Just kidding. We have a lot of devices. 70 of one color, 40 of another. We are ready for Friday.
