If u use this it will brick ur phone just like my old one...
[HTC Rezound] icy1899:
Hey Everyone,

I woke up this morning and had no 4G LTE connection, I tried battery pull, sim pull, waiting 15 minutes and then putting it all back. It would connect to 4g for about 20 seconds before jumping back to 3g. Being that I paid 300 bucks for this phone and it worked great since I got it, I called VZW. The rep I got confirmed that the 4G LTE network is having some outages but they know about it and are working quickly to restore service.

Looking thru some other forums, it seems to be an East Coast thing, I would like to know if any of you are having this problem as well, and if so where are you located. Please respond with your general location (or specific city if you want) and what networks are down for you. Ill start

Central Massachusetts has no 4G LTE currently. 3g an 1x are unaffected.
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
Albany NY area

Spotty 4g for the last few days and they told me the same thing. Seems OK today so far.
[HTC Rezound] jbh00jh:
No problems here, 4G strong as ever. :)

I'm in Erie, PA and I can only connect to 4G for like a minute before it switches to 3G :(. I hope they fix it soon, I'm going through withdrawal! I NEED MY EXTRA G!
[HTC Rezound] Argent36:
I've got the 4G's here in Michigan
[HTC Rezound] Cares:
Fine here in California although I'm far away and probably irrelevant.
[HTC Rezound] jmorton10:
Looks like I'm even having 3g problems now.

I listen to iheart streaming radio all morning at work & it may buffer occasionally but in general it works perfectly. A minute ago it cut out for about the 4th time this morning & now it's refusing to connect at all.

~John
[HTC Rezound] jasonpantuliano:

Albany, NY - same problem, no 4g
[HTC Rezound] jmorton10:
I actually live in Penfield & work in Victor.

I always have rock solid 4g at my house and usually 4g works in Victor.

This morning, my phone was in 3g coming off the charger which was odd. I put it in airplane mode & back & 4g started working.

It skipped back & forth between 4g & 3g all morning however. Now, it seems to be working again (it is in 4g now) but we'll see what happens the rest of the day.......

[HTC Rezound] Superguy:
Baltimore area here. Haven't had 4G since last night. Rebooted my phone a few times. It would attach for a minute or two then drop right back to 3G.

Was still on 3G before I came into work a little bit ago.
[HTC Rezound] con247:
4G is working fine in A2
[HTC Rezound] icy1899:
Yea, the rep was telling me its only really affecting the East Coast and from what I see he it seems pretty accurate.

Does it really bug anyone else that VZW does not have a website with outages listed, like google does with the AppStatus Dashboard. It would probably save their reps a ton of phone time.
[HTC Rezound] flexor224:
No 4G issues in Phoenix
[HTC Rezound] eallan:
In california on business, 4g has been completely awful. I can do the same; connect for a minute or so then it drops to nothing.

4g back down in the chi... Not complaining, just informing
[HTC Rezound] nosit1:
4G down for East Valley, AZ.

3G wasn't working this early morning but is back up.

Not like I got a good 4G signal in my house anyways. Lol.
[HTC Rezound] brisdaddy1207:
Didn't notice it down in Youngstown/Warren Ohio area.
[HTC Rezound] Cares:
Unlike you...I feel entitled for something I paid for. I got reimbursed for the 2 days of downtime the last outage. 2 days is a long time when a source of your income relies on having a stable internet connection. I should even push the envelop further and ask for a month credit since my potential earnings would far outweigh the couple of dollars they are giving me.
[HTC Rezound] nosympathy:
When they stop being douches and let us have an unlocked bootloader a few data outages won't bother me.
[HTC Rezound] Taebom:
4g out again in northern Virginia
[HTC Rezound] PhantomApollyon:
I don't mean this in a personally offensive way but that **** happens. If your potential monthly earnings are in jeopardy based on a 2 day wireless connection outage, then not only do you need to rework your business/job model because it's sincerely flawed but you also need to give some serious thought and consideration to using a landline connection to support your lively hood instead of a wireless one.
[HTC Rezound] Cares:
I can't carry a land line with me to the airport or in the car now can I?
[HTC Rezound] str1der_D:
well for me it's not so much as a complaint but more of a confirmation that my phone isn't screwed up again. I used to have the thunderbolt and had to RMA it twice because the phone would refuse to connect to the 4g network for whatever odd reasons. so im a little paranoid because of that.
[HTC Rezound] PhantomApollyon:
No, but you can carry a 3G only device that doesn't run on the LTE backbone to ensure the least downtime possible whilst LTE is built out. All I'm getting at is that it's unreasonable, at this point, to carry a 4G device and expect no downtime and the same reliability as 3G devices. To carry a 4G device and expect those things is purely setting yourself up to be let down.
[HTC Rezound] A62335:
I called into VZW today and talked with a CSR. He was pretty cool about the issue and credited me $15 to my next bill for the outage today and the one from a few weeks ago.
[HTC Rezound] triton302:
Damn, I don't think I could pull that off. I have unlimited data, lol.
[HTC Rezound] znc62511:
Its always up then down, up then down. I am in a good 4g aread and always it toggles back and forth 3g and 4g.

KORM via the beast known as the Rezound.
[HTC Rezound] AtLemacks:
It has been out here all day. I didn't notice it at first because I had LTE off, but when I turned it on and it never came on I went through procedure and sure enough it never came on.
[HTC Rezound] mc_365:
been out all afternoon in NY, NY

and it's out now at home 10:23 EST Jersey City, NJ

is this what I'm paying big $$ for.

Phone with audio issues, boot looping, over heating, Network Outages.

This phone cost me 300 and I'm locked in for 2 Yrs. my new every 2 was only $30 (NY Sales tax is 8.5%) and now discontinued.

This has been the worst 2.5 months I've ever experienced with a mobile carrier.

What recourse do we have, is there no way to get out of the contract.
[HTC Rezound] mc_365:
You want to pay my bill?

What if they never work out the Kinks?

It's fools like you who are willing to bend the f over and take what ever they give you like a bit ch that make these companies think they can do whatever they want and still nickle and dime the consumer. I really thought this forum attracted people of character and principle, but I guess there are always a few. No disrespect to the majority of folks here.

They didn't even send a text msg to tell people that there were problems.
[HTC Rezound] AtLemacks:
So how many times did you have 3G issues? How long have you had a 4G phone? EXACTLY! You aren't paying for 4G service anyways. Prices didn't go up, they stayed the same. So quit crying that you have the best provider in the US and that isn't good enough for you. They don't do whatever they want to me, and more often than not I rip THEM off! And it is moronic fools like you that go around *****ing and complaining about asinine **** like this that creates the hostility around here, so again STFU and get over it, or change providers.

Also, go find the clause in your contract that says they have to warn millions of customers every time 4G data is down. I will wait.

Lastly, if they don't work out the kinks no one will stay with them. I am sure you would probably be one of the last standing still complaining about it when everyone else is on Sprint or something, lol.
[HTC Rezound] mc_365:
4G devices have a premium price.

What turnip truck did you fall off that you think your getting something for free?

I probably would change providers but now I have to fight a battle because I'm contractually obligated to remain a customer for 2 yr or pay an $300 ETF.

Even if I owned shares in V I couldn't justify crap like this.

You want a clause in the contract, that has to say the service provider should inform the purchaser of the service, that said purchased service is unavailable. And your argument is that: if such a clause does not exist, it is therefore ethically acceptable to just not say anything to anyone whom may be dependent on that purchased service, hmmm sounds like a good business practice.

So say they don't ever get to a reliable level of service and everyone bolts, I bet they'd still hold you to the ETF.

Your a effin idiot.

You think they're doing you a favor?

You probably pay your bill online too so they can take an extra $2 fee for taking your money.
[HTC Rezound] AtLemacks:
:rolleyes: I can already tell you are a big winner here, lol. Again, they are not going to send a massive text to MILLIONS of people just to say, "Hey the network may or may not be down where you live, and it may or may not be back up anytime soon. We may or may not even have a fix for this." Sounds like a plan! You should call them and pitch it to someone high up. You pay for every device on every provider unless it is a promo. 4G phones typically cost more because, well they are BETTER. Not sure if you knew that. Let me know if you find a 3G phone with these specs, again, I will wait. They don't owe you **** except what you pay for, and you are NOT paying for 4G service, you are paying for service that can include 4G if you live where it is deployed.

You can continue your dumbass assumptions, and we can keep playing this game. Realistically, you are a troll and acting like an asshat. I don't pay the fee because I have USAA, on top of that I have a 15% Military discount so why would I care? lol

Oh, and my favorite part, "You're a ****ing idiot". I don't posses an effing idiot :) Pot calling the kettle black?
[HTC Rezound] mc_365:
I can do this all day, all night, and as much as I want.

Trolling??? I can voice my displeasure with the level of service provided and encourage others to not sheepishly accept it either.

You really are stupid you think they can't put the same specs in a 3G phone? the 4G is what your paying extra for dumb ass. It's call product line differentiation. Incremental advances in tech exist in all products, the main differing factor is 4G. Think about Droid X2.

What I don't get is if You don't care? and your fine with the outage, why do you care to comment on my comment?

The only logical answer is because your an insignificant, small person, of below average intelligence, and feelings of inadequacy.
[HTC Rezound] AtLemacks:
Nope, but you know what is funny? People like you who try to pretend they know anything about a person online because they told you to shut up. Someone got butthurt :rolleyes:

The DX2 is a POS, and I know this because I owned it, and it doesn't have NEARLY the specs of this phone, so while you continue to sound like a moron, the rest of us will enjoy 4G data coverage.

Resolution: DX2<Rezound

PPI: DX2<Rezound

Ram: DX2<Rezound

Processor: DX2<Rezound

UI: DX2<Rezound

Front Camera: DX2 non-existent

Rear Camera: DX2<Rezound

4G: DX2 non-existent

Dev Support: DX2<Rezound

And only $100 difference when both were brand new, $50 different for me. Some people even got the Rezound on the $0.01 deal on Amazon.

You have been here since 2009 and not a single person has thanked a single post you have created. Clearly you can do this all day and all night because you have nothing significant to do with your life, AKA trolling.
[HTC Rezound] mc_365:
Your comparing a relatively new phone with one that is significantly older? The specs on the DX2 were quite good relative to it's PEERS. The point, your unable to grasp, even though you mention it is the phones from the same product segment now cost $100 dollars more, that's the 4G premium. I don't care if you agree or not, if you choose to go back and forth you should at least have some sort of grasp of the basics of the debate. You seem to not understand, technology, business, ethics, or debate. I've been around a long time, just didn't need make a lot of garbage, post, seeking approval or validation from strangers on the internet.
[HTC Rezound] AtLemacks:
I read your first sentence, and I won't waste my time reading the rest. Obviously you are that stupid that you don't remember referencing the DX2 the post JUST ABOVE THAT! Sorry, I don't have time to talk to walls anymore. You are a waste of time.

Unluckily for you I caught the last sentence in your post. Go find somewhere where I asked for a thanks jackass. I will wait.

[HTC Rezound] icy1899:
Yea at first I thought it was my phone because the other morning I woke up and it was dead, but plugged into the charger...I couldnt get it to boot or charge in the phone so I went to VZW store and got the standalone battery charger for the thunderbolt (2 of them for 8 bucks) and now it works, except for 4g.

Thanks everyone for being so helpful!!
