I think it was after the most recent update that I noticed the signal dropping completely and coming back often which I didn't notice before. Not a huge deal because it comes back so quickly but in NYC there should be a pretty solid signal everywhere above ground. Anyone else notice this and anything I can do? Updating the PRL does not fix it.
Have you tried disabling connections optimizer? Haven't turned it off on our L4s, but hated it on my S3. Froze it in TB, ended up running a couple of roms that had it removed....

Recently I've notice my mobile data will disconnect sporadically. I'm not sure if it related to the phone or service. Is there a way to tell?
BTW, I'm in the Los Angeles area.
I've been having this problem too. I haven't been able to find a fix yet.
Have you tried updating PRL and Profile?

I had the same problem when sprint was doing NV deployment in my area!
My problem went away after sprint was done in my area!

Do you have sleep mode on or data connection checked in your power saver menu?

I've noticed the same here in VA. It'll drop for a few seconds then come back.
I still have a connection, but I am noticing 3G/4G flickers in northern Virginia. Hopefully our markets go live soon (officially, anywhoo).
I've updated the prl and profile and have had sprint reprovision data twice. I'm not using battery saver or anything either. The only thing that seems to keep data stable is if I set mobile data to 'CDMA only'.
LTE phone in a non LTE area has caused me grief. Could this be the problem for you also?
I've been having the same issue. However it didn't start till after I unlocked my bootloader and flashed a new ROM. I think it may just be bad timing but I've called Sprint to see if they are doing any work and I've been told no. (For what that's worth)
I also have a GS 3 & 4 and neither of them are having the issue.

I'm thinking that is the cause of this issue. About 60% of San Francisco has LTE now and I'm thinking the phone just has trouble staying to one tower or another. Still it's a frustrating issue.I didn't have any of these problems on my iphone 5 before or after switching back and forth.

I've noticed that yes the one switches between wifi/3g/4g much more smoothly, but also noticing it dropping those signals much more frequently too and struggling to reconnect if it drops it. As in, I can have a data connection, then none at all out of nowhere without moving, and a couple of minutes later it reconnects.
I was even just sitting here at home where I have full signal on wifi and saw it drop wifi too. This never happened on the previous base... Sigh... Nothing is ever perfect...

I've noticed that my phone is holding onto lte better inside today since the update. It was usually dropping to 3g once I started doing anything.
but it's ok to eat fish cause they don't have feelings.....
I'm dropping calls like crazy lately, but it really started before the update, so I can't say it's because of that.... Sprint really sucks lately, dropping calls left and right, signal dropping out all the time, and slower than slow 3g

Mine got better with the update. I can hold a call for over an hour in my house with 1 bar just like my old phone. before the update it would drop after 5-15 min. Also I am running into far less places where I simply can't use data despite having signal. I think there is still room for improvement.
When I first flashed the update everything seemed to working smoother and seemed to hold a better 4G signal. By the second day my WiFi would drop in and out, my 4G won't hold when I know have full 4G coverage. Sometimes I don't have a signal at all. Like that is my only pet peeve about this phone. What's the use of having the best phone if one of its primary functions doesn't work properly? I'm definitely looking to get something new at this point.

I was having similar issues, I think it had to do with the fact that it was an in-place upgrade. I did a factory wipe, and the One is behaving much better.

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.
It seems that every so often, maybe once a minute sometimes, my phone will briefly drop 1X and 3G and then pick it back up. It's fairly quick but it's maddeningly annoying when I'm browsing. My phone has been doing this for a while I think, but it seems to occur more often after the 4.3 update and new radio. I have no idea if it's rom related, my phone, or sprints network. I'm using bad boyz. Anyone else experience this?

I had the same experiences when i was running BadBoyz. Thought it was just me, but after flashing Elegancia and now InsertCoin...my connection have been steady at eHRPD with some flashes of 4gLTE here and there depending on my location. But yeah, my connection has never dropped since switching rom.

I have not seen a unified discussion on this issue yet, only fragments in other forums. I know it is a known issue but it is hardly discussed. I've noticed that the cell signal on stock LG roms are MUCH better than on AOSP/CM11. This is causing issues with my phone constantly refreshing. I dont get very good signal in my office already, but I can make calls and text still. When im on an AOSP or CM11 based rom, it all fails. Also when im on AOSP or CM11 it will connect to the network then instantly disconnect and go into roaming mode then repeat this over and over again. I just want to know if this is a known issue or if there is some kind of fix.

It's related to multisim merges from cyanogenmod. Seems to affect Verizon mostly and 3g. As of right now no fix that I'm aware of. LS doesn't have this bug. It helps to allow roaming. As far as signal bars alone don't tell the whole story. The phone usually gets the same signal check it out with an app called advanced signal status. But aosp has always been slower with data handoffs from 3g to 4g or from WiFi to mobile. But not to say you aren't seeing these issues where aosp can't make calls where stock can but for me I can make calls and use data in all the same places. And I live in a low signal area.

Very helpful info. Nice to finally have solid evidence to my issue. I don't mind the roaming bit. Its the constant switching from low signal to no service that I get that bothers me. It refreshes every app I'm in every time it does it. Its bearable but annoying as hell.

Are you basing this off of bars or db? Aosp Roms typically show less bars for me then stock but the db only varies about -5
The 3g roaming issue is because of cm screwing some files for the vs. It also caused no apn found issue too. Until cm fixes the issue it shall remain.
Turn on allow data while roaming (because the roaming is only cosmetic) and data should work as it normally would.

Try turning on data while roaming, and see if that stops it from refreshing.

Seeing how its CM source related and almost all the current AOSP kitkat roms are based on that source, I went back to stock for now. Much more stability with no cell signal issue. Seems like ill have to be patient before we get any kind of stability improvements.
