I'm having a lot of signal strength issues as of this morning. Losing data signal and going in out of service. This is in a high data strength area, downtown. I never had this issue on my S3.
I love the phone but I might have to sell it.
Any help would appreciated

Could be an issue with the network?

Are you using stock rom?
I'll keep an eye on it. Thanks.
But even places were my S3 would get good signal like 3 or 4 bars the motox is getting 1 and 2 bars.

my signal hasn't been worse with my moto x. It could just be service being done for your network in that area. I know a lot of things started changing across networks recently. Just a few months ago I believe att and vzw sold different bands to each other in different areas in the US that changed things drastically. Also, vzw has been having trouble with 4g in certain major cities recently (or i saw reports recently). And other carriers are doing new upgrades to their system that are slowing things down. Get someone with an s3 on your service and bring look at direct comparison at work, should solve your problem, or let you know if there is one i mean.
I don't think I get LTE as often with the motox as I did with my S3

There's already a speed test. Post your results in there instead.

You're not on lte if you're only getting 3mbps, does it show 4g near the signal bars?

The signal and speed can drop pretty badly if you're indoors, but I've had a few speed tests at around 60/20 downtown and in East York when I was pulling full bars (Fido/Rogers). It's not the best in my house, but I have Wi-Fi for that.
Edit: I also end up falling back to 3G fairly often, which may be due to either the lack of a signal amplifier or the network which I'm not too familiar with.

Anyone able to share GTA speeds? Mississauga Brampton area?
I hit 50down and 18up in mississauga, but this was outside with perfect signal. In the deepest darkest pits of my basement i only hit 7down 1up.
Got this in Brampton

Has there ever been a radio update to change this a little higher on any other phone? Dropping to 3G from LTE is killer.. I usually leave my phone in CDMA only in my home town area but I went to a launched area this passed week where the roll out is in the 90% complete zone and it still drops from 4G to 3G a lot..
Just wondering if a radio update has ever fixed an issue like this on any other devices in the past.

There have been radio updates on the past on other phones that helped but thus far not for the ONE yet

Yup, I think we r over 80% here in austin Texas and it happens to me all day long. My bud just got his T-Mobile One and he hits 20-25 mbps no matter where and when he does a speed test. I could kick myself in the ass for staying with sprint.

I don't think the phone is the problem buddy. I think it's a network issue. So unless u are planning on actually leaving sprint it shouldn't be a deal breaker.

I don't think it's a phone issue but my Note II holds LTE like a champ but damn I don't want to lug that thing around anymore after having the One for this long.. dbm levels are the same on the Note it just doesn't drop to 3G until the -130 range where as the One drops it around -117dbm... I'm holding out on a possible radio update before I do anything drastic like going back to the Note II.

It's network and phones that are the issue. First off, it shoildnt be that much of a problem to drop to 3g, as long as the data still works. Buut 3g is worthless usually with no throughput.
Then these HTC phones can't hold on (or wont) to lte for ****, for whatever reason. The iPhone 5, gs3, and 4 all held 4g, and when they dropped it, it quickly moved back up to 4g. This phone, on the other hand, will drop 4g, sit with NO data connection for a while, then connect to worthless 3g while still in a 4g blanketed area.
Then on the LTE topic...I've been waiting and waiting but this crap seems to get slower and slower as time passes. Plenty of times I will get less than 1mbps. Ive been waiting almost 2 years for them to get it together but it seems that it won't be happening. Back to tmobole (<10 mbps always) I go
Sent from my HTCONE using xda app-developers app
Well I keep telling myself I need to try a galaxy but the build of the HTC phones keep luring me in. Maybe with this phone being a more popular model because it is across different carriers unlike the Evo line the devs can find away to adjust the settings of the hardware. It is very annoying when my T-Mobile buddy constantly pulls 15-25 mbps on his speed tests and I look at mine and see 3g icon on top. I know there is lte out there we r 80% complete here

Switched to Note 3 from Lumia 920 (phone upgrade, had my SIM replaced as well). Now on all places where I previously had stable LTE signal my Note has couple bars of HSPA or from time to time HSPA+. I still can catch LTE signal from time to time but not in the area I live (and had stable LTE for a year on Lumia).
What may be the reason? Is it a phone problem or just Nokia modem has better sensitivity?
Don't want to initiate replacement procedure, the phone seems perfect in all other aspects...
I've also been disappointed with the reception vs the S4. I'm also having trouble installing apps from the play store >.< even on wifi.
I have bad reception also
I am thinking of returning, I have had to switch to airplane mode twice in the past hour to get it to reconnect to LTE. It sometimes drops out all together when accessing the play store. I am in Baton Rouge, and didn't have any issues on my iphone 5.

That's crazy, I'm in Baton Rouge too.Just got my Note 3 from the Best Buy Mobile on Bluebonnet. Maybe its borked because of the impending hurricane doom.
Yes, switching airplane mode on and off helps to establish LTE link everywhere... But it switches back to HSPA in 20-30 min and never return back by itself. Definitely software bug
I'm getting much better signal than I ever got with my 920 or S3. I'm in Houston FWIW.

I'm from just south of Baton Rouge, reception has either been great or next to none for me. I can manually put the note 3 on lte but the speed at that point is slower than the 4g. Sadly my s4 active was nearly the same way...

I'm east of Baton Rouge, in Hammond, and I've seen the same thing! lose LTE and sticks to HSPDA! Airplane mod does fix it as well. I hope it's the storm, but I don't thinks so!
For you guys with a Google play issue...
If you connect to a VPN like privateinternetaccess.com (also avaliable on the play store) and select a country other than the US it will more than likely work.

I live in SF Bay area and this definitely not storm, it's some software/modem firmware fault. It seems not trying to switch to LTE once kicked to HSPA. If I do airplane mode switch on a place I have good LTE signal it would jump to LTE and keep connected for a long time until I move and it loses it. After that it jumps down to HSPA and not trying to return back on LTE even if I go back to same place where it had full bars of LTE before
Well good to know it isn't just Southeast Louisiana. Also, just plain nuts to me that we're all posting in the same thread miles apart, go figure.
I haven't had time to switch my Sim back to my S4 to do some testing. But I feel like my speeds are definitely suffering.
Post your speed tests for comparison. BTW one of my favorite features about the s pen are the easy screen captures and edits.
Maybe it's just an APN issue? Has anyone tried playing with that? I tried a few from rootzwiki but don't really know what I'm doing in the APN neighborhood.

For what it's worth, FL is having issues as well. Play store has been wonky and the reception has been less than stellar. With all these reports I'm willing to bet it's something on their end.
I am going to try and swap it out at the local store tomorrow even though I ordered it online. I should be able to according to the terms. I am willing to give it another shot, although at work today I had absolutely zero signal just a circle with a line through it. I normally get at least phone and text functionality at work.
All your phones are perfectly fine - they just need a firmware update or two.
I've seen mine even drop off to edge just sitting here at my desk.
The service is amazing over here at Verizon.. Data speeds are significantly better in every way.. Having LTE in the middle of a lake in Idaho is a plus.. But damn the locked bootloader and all the bs rootblocking updates. They put a huge setback on erytang.. Even with the $154,8658,000,000 bounty. Just thought I'd let you guys know I was thinking about ya

I'm happy with my data speeds and coverage on Sprint. 40-60mbs is nothing to laugh at. Not many places I find don't have LTE anymore. Fast updates and no locked anything is a huge plus. Spring will be seeing many more Verizon customers in the coming months. S4/Note 3/S5 all locked from here out will bring more over.

Then you're lucky, because there are still TONS of places that don't have LTE, including major cities. I was in Denver a few weeks ago and still had to make do with 3G just like I do at home. Also, 40-60 mbs is unheard of, even on Verizon and AT&T. My home wifi isn't even that fast. If that figure is even remotely accurate, you're definitely a (very) rare exception rather than the rule.

My wife has vzw note 2. Here in indiana we have equal lte coverage but vzw speeds is usually 3-4 down. My sprint phone always whips vzw here. Dont dog Sprint. I avg 10-20 down and hit 30-40 down alot. This is all from our single band only phones. The only edge vzw has is lte building Penetration. All will be solved with tri band lte devices.

Idk OP, my service and bandwidth on Sprint's LTE is pretty solid, speaking as a recent convert from Verizon.
Ohh, I remember the good ol' days before Verizon lost their way. I was a Verizon customer during the release of the OG Motorola Droid, and that phone was like a development catalyst. I discovered xda thanks to that phone's development following. Everything I came to love about customizing kernels and roms came from that phone. ****, I remember what now seems like an ancient version of CyanogenMod for that OG Droid. I remember that phone out of the box was underclocked of all things, from 550Mhz down to 450 which made overclocking that thing to a meaty 1ish Ghz seem so beastly at the time lol!
Ahhhh good times :good:
Decent Sprint LTE speeds in College Park, MD
I get decent speeds (15-23 Mb down, 7-10 Mb up) on Sprint in College Park MD according to Speedtest.
Won't the speeds for the Sprint LTE towers drop for an individual once more people start utilizing it? I suspect some people are getting very high speeds because not a lot of Sprint users are tapping into the LTE bandwidth yet?

Close - it was a 600 mhz CPU underclocked to 550 mhz. I remember there were kernels that could overclock the thing all the way to 1.3 ghz. I've still never used another phone that could be overclocked that far past the native clock speed (by percentage, at least). Good times.

I'm in austin, had the galaxy note 2 before the 3, and I've noticed that the 3 just doesn't want to stay on LTE. The note 2 would always connect to lte immediately but with the 3 it likes to stay on 4g. Has anyone else experienced this? I already exchanged my first one thinking it was just defective but the new one is doing the same...

yeah mine is less likely to say LTE when i wake it up for whatever reason.
but if i cycle airplane mode on/off, i'll come back into lte.
but i don't normally have a problem in general.
I know that AT&T's LTE in the Tulsa area is messed up currently. Speeds are crazy slow in spots. I do not know how he knows but I know a guy who works at AT&T and he told me that AT&T knows of the issue and is working on it. Of course. I guess it could also be a Note III issue.
I'm just curious if they are truly working on it, don't get me wrong, I love the power of this phone!
