Hmmm. Don't know anything about it being made up. From what I know, lots of people have submitted logs etc to Google about this problem and Google was analyzing it and I "think" aware of where the problem is and there is/was supposed to be an update to fix it. Anyhow, yes, lets hope it gets fixed. Today, I had a definite drop on everything and nothing I could do to restore it. I actually had to reboot the phone to get a signal back. Typically my advice previously given would fix the scenario but not this time. It was definitely dead dead dead.

One thing I did note though was at the time I noticed, the last notification I got was from MIB3. So I uninstalled that because I HATE games that pop-up messages like, "you haven't played for so long", "where are you, so and so needs you to save them". A similar situation occurred a month or so ago with some stupid zombie game that would notify me I wasn't playing it. Man, don't know about you but that is an instant turn off, I don't care wtf the game is.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jiia:
I can definitely say that don't even try fixing the data drops yourself. Reverting back to 4.0.3 might help but nothing else will. You just have to wait for 4.0.5 and hope it will fix the problem.

I followed all the advice I could get and did the following:

- Change ROM

- Change kernel

- Upgrade radio

- Upgrade RIL to match radio

- Upgrade bootloader

With everything upgraded to Google adviced versions I'm still getting data drops and signal drops. Most of the people saying "I fixed it by doing X" haven't just tested their current ROM long enough to encounter a new data drop. The problem is in AOSP and it can currently be fixed only by reverting back.

I can't wait for the 4.05, having a phone and don't even be able to use it as is best is pretty lame :(

Signal drops

Hi,

I constant have signal drops. I bought Gnex with 4.0.4 and since first day I had signal drops.

I rooted my phone, tried AOKP and CM9, different kernels, radios and I don't know what else and have the same problem.

It doesn't matter if it's in deep sleep or awake. Signal drops for 5 seconds and go back to normal after that.

Can someone, please, tell me what to do?

Thanks

Then again, what works for some might not work for others.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fatttire:
I have a 100% stock Google play phone and I'm getting this issue right now.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Theshawty:
If it came with 4.0.4, then it doesn't surprise me. Random service drops are because of some bug in the AOSP code for 4.0.4.
[HTC EVO 3D] cas8180:
I love me EVO 3D and most importantly I get great Wimax coverage where I am located so I am having a hard time validating my upgrade. However I am getting the itch for a new device. And one of the things I am really looking forward too is a better camera. In my case LTE doesnt look like its going to be in my area (Vegas) any time soon. So sacrificing 4g for what will ultimately be a fancy 3g phone may or may not be worth it. I am torn between getting the Galaxy 3 and EVO LTE . What are your guy's thoughts on the 2 phones and if you are going to upgrade or considering upgrade which would you choose and why?
[HTC EVO 3D] E \V o T lR i X ™ 3lD:
go with the htc lte ;)

you will get the best experience i think :)

galaxy sIII isnt worth it because for NOW there are mostly SINGLE core games out there (nova 3, mc3 and stuff like that) and very rare dual core.. but MULTI core wont be there in this year i think...

i would go with the evo, it looks much nicer and i love the edges on the new screens and also on my evo 3d :)

soo.. hopefully you go with htc :D

greetz and sry for my bad english ^^
[HTC EVO 3D] knlmwq:
I went with the evo 4g lte over the sg3 because I personally prefer sense over touch wiz by a large margin. If you are the type to just put cm9 on your phone shortly after your purchase then that shouldnt matter to you.

- Also the screen of the sg2 looked fake to me.The colors were very bright but not realistic. I am not sure if that is still an issue with the sg3.

- the camera app on the evo lte is great with the ability to shoot video and take pictures simultaneously.
[HTC EVO 3D] sparhawk6:
I won't be choosing either. I don't see either as a significant enough upgrade over my 3D. Also, I want to wait until LTE comes to my neighborhood before upgrade. Finally, I am anxious to see what Google's next Nexus phone will be. There are rumors that they will introduce 5 different models in early fall. I am hoping one model will have a large screen (a la the Note). I am so tired of waiting for 3rd parties to upgrade their lame skins (TouchWiz, Sense) before releasing android OS updates.

If I had to choose, I would select the SGIII. The non-removable battery of the EVO 4G LTE is a deal killer. I must be able to swap batteries.
[HTC EVO 3D] Riff76:
The lag argument on sense is moot with the LTE. that said, if you like sense the decision should be very easy. AOSP development on the LTE will be way better than on the 3D too.

SGS3 will probably have more accessories if you're into that.

If you're undecided then wait to you get a chance to play with both

HTC EVO LTE:

Best reasons:

The Camera (This I like)

Kickstand

The Screen

HD Voice

HTC Sense 4

Beats Audio

SGS3:

Best reasons:

Storage (Internal)

(v) 2GB Ram?

Smart detection features

All Share Cast (This I like)

Both are great, just don't be the fool who's hunting for the greener grass or the next best thing, if you like it, buy it.

I bought the EVO LTE & I'm not looking back, hopefully I'll be holding this for 2 years (22 Months really). :D
[HTC EVO 3D] flonker:
Probably not going to get either and wait for something better (see: Eclipse), but if I had to choose one it would definitely be the S3.

Two reasons:

1. The S3 has 2GB RAM

2. The S3 won't have a locked BL.

As far as Sense and Pee go, don't really care, heard about these newfangled things called custom ROMS.
[HTC EVO 3D] Cuppeerr:
evo 4g lte>sg3 that is all.
[HTC EVO 3D] Smac7:
supposedly the camera is better on the s III, but i think the sense camera software is supposed to be better.

I am really torn myself with this decision. Most people on this forum will say choose htc cause your on the htc evo 3d page. I suggest asking the same question in android general or something.

---------- Post added at 04:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:37 PM ----------

this has me kinda leaning towards the s3 as well, especially the development factor. Should have hundreds of roms especially since it seems like there is really only 2 versions of the S III. There is the lte and the quad-core version. They all have the same body though.
[HTC EVO 3D] kenneu:
I'm considering the same...

I love Sense and Sense can't be had unless on an HTC phone. I also enjoy the CM experience and go back and forth, but since I can't put Sense on a non-HTC device, I'm probably going to get the LTE. I've played with it and it really is a great little phone.
[HTC EVO 3D] Jfree3000:
I was going to make a similar thread, I have an upgrade in June and I'm torn between the S3 and the Evo LTE. In regard to Samsung, what I have been reading is that the US versions will all be one style so the only hurdle there as far as development would be CDMA vs GSM roms.
[HTC EVO 3D] bagelicious:
Nexus or bust. With up to 5 possible Nexus phones coming out this year, I wouldn't even consider an upgrade right now. Sense and TouchWiz are nothing but bloatware that will hold you back.

But since you are asking for these two, I'd recommend playing with them side by side in a store and getting the one you prefer.
[HTC EVO 3D] cas8180:
A lot of good arguments have been made. I.E

-removable Battery VS Embedded battery

-Cores

-Sense VS Touch Wiz

-Developer support

-1 GB RAM VS 2GB

I am still wondering how the camera quality is side by side though. Yes I think its cool you can take snap shots while recording but I dont think this is the end all be all. I would much rather prefer low light quality for that feature. However I have heard rave things about the EVO LTE camera in general. Also like some I dont know if a like the glossy vs matte finish on the back. I think I would have to see this in person. I have had glossy backs before on different phones and they are scratch magnets and I am not a huge fan of putting a case on my phone. I dont like the extra bulk I would rather just baby it. I am also a pretty big fan of sense. Although I have not really done a test drive on a touch wiz based UI. Its tough I would really like to see the bench marks and these two phones side to side. I would also be nice to maybe get sprint rep in here who has played with both and get there opinion.
[HTC EVO 3D] pathtologos:
2gb of ram on s3...that is all.
[HTC EVO 3D] aznmode:
I'm in the same exact boat. Itching for new device but not excited that either device I chose I wont get LTE till later this year (SF bay area). I just have to have the latest device out and between the 2 I think I may this time around try out the Galaxy 3. I've been an HTC follower for a long time since the window days but I think its time to try new things. I do love the features of sense but I also like the features of the new S3. I just have to try it before I knock it as I can always exchange for the Evo LTE in 14 days. One thing I really not liking about the EVO lTE is non removable battery. I know Im going to use my phone to tether a lot with my tablet and between that and using the phone I've run into times when I've almost run out of battery on my Evo 3d and was so glad I had a spare battery and didnt have to go looking for a wall outlet.
[HTC EVO 3D] ElJimmy:
I'm leaning more towards the EVO cuz I've had more HTC phones than any other but I did want to try Samsung out. But more than likely it will be the EVO because I'm used to most of the devs work if ain't broke then don't try to fix it.
[HTC EVO 3D] swaze:
Welp last I checked my evo lte was super simple to root, unlock the boot loader and install viperrom. And the development is awesome already after only one week. Sgs3 is a nice phone and the evo lte is equally as nice.
[HTC EVO 3D] jamexman:
Voiding your warranty with HTC. Samsung is light years ahead on being more open with rooting and modding theirs.
[HTC EVO 3D] swaze:
I have had a smart phone for over the last 10 years and have yet to need to take a phone back. Not an issue.

Btw....if I had an issue sprint would be the one fixing it not HTC.
[HTC EVO 3D] chROMed:
You should wait til lte is in your area since you have strong wimax and your satisfied with your phone, I wouldn't drive a Corvette on low octane. ;) when lte comes, then make the switch, you might have a better phone selection then too
[HTC EVO 3D] Smac7:
A ton of people never actually ended up getting wimax in their area.
[HTC EVO 3D] chROMed:
Correct, was directing for the op. Sorry about that for not being more clear
[HTC EVO 3D] cas8180:
And that's exactly what I have been thinking. It's ironic you mention that cause today my refurbed EVO's screen went tits up ...yet again.... Called assurion and they offered to give me the epic touch so that might be a nice little swap . At least get my feet wet with touchwiz and Samsung products. I still have a other 3d on cricket as a play device/backup phone. But I will be using thr g2 as my main device for a bit and then possibly switch to the lte or g3 depending on how things go.
[HTC EVO 3D] gilbydakid:
Screw both. :D

Im going to keep my fingers and toes crossed and hope a note2 is released and sprint gets it. MOOOOAR SCREEN!!!!
[HTC EVO 3D] cas8180:
It's guys like you that are literally killing our form factor and our pockets!! Do you know how gay it looks when you are in the club and you go to bust out your phone to get a chicks number and you pull out this massive device that looks like it could instantly give net cancer....its not a good look bro...
[HTC EVO 3D] alexnaoumi:
You couldn't go wrong either way. Sense and touchwiz are awesome, especially now with their ics updates

I'm getting this oh yeah
[HTC EVO 3D] swaze:
Still not worth switching.......
[HTC EVO 3D] myn:
Both are some of the best Android devices ever made. It's like comparing a Ferrari to a Lamborghini.

From my perspective I've always chosen devices based upon the size of development community. Yesterday, when they announced that the SGSIII would be available on all 4 major US carriers on the same day, the decision was pretty much made for me.

Don't get me wrong, I think the HTC EVO 4G LTE is one of the best phones ever made and I'd even argue it feels more solid then anything Samsung has ever produced, but I can't ignore the fact, that development wise, there will be more activity in the SGSIII arena.
[HTC EVO 3D] woody296:
All of a sudden this place turns into a ghost town, S3 anyone?
[HTC EVO 3D] Trina9:
I'm leaning towards the Galaxy S3 right now. There's many features I like about this phone better than the EVO 4G LTE. But, mainly disappointed with very limited 3D content available and the Sense 3.0 crashing issues.
[HTC EVO 3D] gilbydakid:
Word playa? Actually it's a great look big car, big rims, big house, big phone all equal money in a club tramps eyes. What's not a good look is busting out a phone thats over 2 years old.

Luckily for me I don't give a oven baked **** about what some skeezer thinks of my phone.
[HTC EVO 3D] Tilde88:
i beg to differ ;) hehe
[HTC EVO 3D] aznmode:
Just pre-ordered the SG3.
[HTC EVO 3D] aseercte:
Now forsure I'm getting
[HTC EVO 3D] ragingredbull:
I would have to say the SG3. Quite like the look of it, it has good features. Actually I am looking forward to getting a Windows Phone 8 mobile when my contract expires at the end of the year. I like Windows 8 on my laptop so far so might give one a try. Who knows, maybe something nice by then. Of course if there is another 3D phone out then, I might have to consider that too.
[HTC EVO 3D] gottria:
What about the screen and all the drop tests I have seen. SGS3 has been dropped and screen shattered after the 2nd drop, is it using gorilla glass 2 like the Evo LTE? Haven't loomed for any videos on dropping the Evo LTE, just some dude hammering in a nail with it.

The Wirefy pre order mess actually works out for me.

As i still dont have my pre order, ill go into best buy of the 8th- get an EVO and pre order a GSIII. on the 21st- ill return the EVO and get the GSIII. Ill decide what i want by my 14th day with the GSIII.

I am not a fan of Samsung- but 4.8 HD, 32GB and 2GB of RAM cannot be ignored.
[HTC EVO 3D] laneyofdeath:
Waiting for my s3 should be any day. Not sure if u guys looked but dev thread for sgs3 is buzzing atm. Ps: I wish I lived in Vegas!
[HTC EVO 3D] Smac7:
I like that analogy. I may just just get the SIII since that's what your getting, lol. I think i've had the same device as you since the HTC touch.
[HTC EVO 3D] Jfree3000:
Meh, I have had phones fall from 6 feet with no damage to phones that fall 2 feet and explode. Its the nature of the beast, that is why I buy a case for my phone.

The galaxy nexus is one cent at verizon for new customers. If they ever bring this pricing to sprint it would be hard not to jump on it....http://www.bgr.com/2012/06/05/samsung-galaxy-nexus-sale-0-01-amazon/
[HTC EVO 3D] swaze:
Just a food for thought for all you fanboys blowing up the 2 GB of RAM thing.........Have any of you looked at the size of the S/W stack of the new touchjizz?? It's huge, and couple that with Android 4.0 ICS and you have one HUGE ROM. So its no wonder the SGS3 has 2 GB of RAM, because if they tried to use 1 GB the thing would lag like hell. So for all those talking 2 GB of RAM is a game changer......you might want to wait till you get the phone and see how much is usuable after touchjizz and apps and everything else gets their share. You might not be so happy with what you find.
[HTC EVO 3D] Chevyboxer:
I'm tired of sense and not having 4G when I want to try an AOSP ROM. The specs are a push so I'm going where I think the most dev support will be.
[HTC EVO 3D] stopeject:
EVO3D has a great camera shutter button complete with focusing half-push. Looking at images of SIII I don't see any button at all. Does it have one? What about the EVO?
[HTC EVO 3D] swaze:
Evo = Yes

SGS3 = No
[HTC EVO 3D] Jfree3000:
I keep seeing the term "fanboy" getting thrown all over the place about this subject in different threads, sites, etc..

Not trying to start anything with you swaze but I have never owned a Samsung phone, my first smartphone was the Evo, then I got the 3d. I like specs the phone has but to be honest with you the one major decision that is going to sway me one way or the other is the actual weight and feel of the S3. Yes the feel, I can say that when I went to a Sprint store and held the S2 it felt way too light and cheap in my hands and if the S3 feels the same way I won't bother.

Both phones are power houses and sure enough they will be replaced by something bigger and better within a year (as always). Neither phone has quad core due to the networks here in the states, 2 GB of ram mean absolutely nothing to me honestly. A good point was made by Myn though, all the US carriers will get the same phone so I foresee a hell of a lot of development with it, anyway that's my measly .02.

Lets the keep the apple guys labeled "fanboy" :D
[HTC EVO 3D] PoorCollegeGuy:
Okay there's something that hasn't been discussed yet that really should.

Development.

The only real development that goes on with phones is:

1. Porting

2. AOSP

3. Various system tweaks/mods

4. kernels

5. Hardware

So, let's explore each one:

Porting

It has always been more fun to port versions of Sense across to one another. Look at the OG EVO, it never made it passed sense 1 but had ports for sense 2.0, 2.1, 3.0 and I think even a 3.5, 3.6 and 4.0. HTC wins the porting battle outright because there's like 2 good versions of Touchwiz anyway and the SGS2 came with one, the SGS3 came with the other...so you can't expect to see any unique or fun ports with the SGS3. As newer HTC phones come out, their newer versions of Sense will be ported to the EVO LTE, just as was done with its predecessors.

AOSP

both phones are gonna get AOKP, CM9, etc etc. it's a wash

Various system tweaks and mods

both phones are gonna get these. again, it's a wash.

kernels

both phones are going to get these, but in my experience kernel devs for HTC phones put a lot more variance into their kernels than Samsung kernel devs do. In the 3vo and OG Evo, there was wild differences between Tiamat and Netarchy (OG EVO) and a wild different between chad.goodman's kernel (don't ban me) and tiamat. The only difference between kernels in the Galaxy s II forums for Sprint? Which recovery it came with. Otherwise they all acted more or less the same. Advantage = htc

hardware mods

this one is a rarity but with the SGS3, i can't see many hardware mods coming at all except maybe a tear down tutorial users can use to replace pieces that break. With the Evo LTE, you can be sure someone will crack that so-called "non replaceable" battery as they've done it for the Droid Razr (even a tutorial on replacing it with the battery from the Droid Razr Maxx).

Then there's the warranties. Both phones make attempts to keep track of who voids their warranties. HTC makes you enter your phone into their website, Samsung uses binary counters. Both serve the same purpose and both can be hacked around given enough time. Both = wash.

Plus you have to remember that all the development on the SGS3 so far has been for the quad core version, meaning the dual core versions will have to re-development all that stuff over again. the Evo LTE stuff is here to stay so you can't say that the EVO LTE is behind the SGS3 in terms of development because there is NO development on the dual core SGS3 yet. Advantage = HTC.

While it'd be nice to develop with our GSM brothers and sisters, the fact of the matter is that there's only 3 kinds of ROMs, a stock-based, AOSP and a port. So you'll get the AOSP across all 4 devices, there's nothing to port so you'll never get a port and then 500 stock based ROMs that are more or less the same but themed differently. That doesn't sound like bomb development, it sounds like a zip wizards dream come true.

I'm going EVO LTE, it enjoys the legacy of the EVO tradition and the development is going to be more fun (even if there's less of it).
[HTC EVO 3D] myn:
Very cool. I like hearing the path of Phones people go with over the years. Don't let my decision influence you. I was just expressing my reasoning. Both are amazing devices. You'd be hard pressed to have a bad experience on either.

Very well put.
[HTC EVO 3D] Jfree3000:
Bah a logical argument, curse you!!!!

J/K good post.
[HTC EVO 3D] woody296:
But what about the complaints with the evo radio being poor? I thought that was supposed to be a samsung weakness. Which one will work better as a "phone" on sprints network once its up and running?
[HTC EVO 3D] Trina9:
That's going to take time to see. Another reason to wait a bit before buying.
