[Verizon LG G3] JesseMT4G:
It's a new phone and I would have to already take put the SIM. I mean I will as I dont get why I am constantly on 3G. Thought Verizon was good at penetrating buildings for 4G.

Not to mention even when I am on 4G it's no where near the speeds my tmobile phone gets.

Might have to chalk it up to so many people on big red....I guess as long as I get signal in the boonies I'll be okay. Just a little disappointed.

Thanks for the help.
[Verizon LG G3] Mistertac:
I had this same issue and switching it from Global to CDMA/LTE fixed it for me. I've read that it shouldn't matter if it's on Global.... But I clearly saw the difference.

This G3 gets the same or better reception that my S4 does. I'm happy with it

[Verizon LG G3] scottysize:
You should be on 4G, if it is available in your area. Signal strength is the main reason it'll drop to 3G, but that's only when your 4G signal drops above -100 dBm. Somewhere around the -115 is where mine decides it's better to switch to 3G. I even get some 1X's here at my desk, but I've got a crappy signal at my desk. If you're on 3G most of the time, then there's a problem. As stated earlier, take the following steps:

FDR (Factory Data Reset.) You'll lose everything, so back it up.

Go into the VZW store and tell them you want another SIM card. (Try not to handle it with your fingers and tell them not to handle it with theirs either.)

Replacement phone is the only other alternative.

If none of the above works, then you probably do need to switch back to T-Mobile. Just remember, you only have 14 days to figure this out!
[Verizon LG G3] jreed2560:
Have you looked at a coverage map? Verizon does have excellent coverage but all carriers have holes
[Verizon LG G3] jreed2560:
Looks like Verizon has spotty service in the area you described. Vzw May not be the best choice for you in that area. Especially if you travel.
[Verizon LG G3] scy1192:
T-Mobile's version comes factory unlocked. It already has the TWRP recovery.

OTOH, T-Mobile's version is SIM locked and Verizon's isn't, so Verizon's version is more free if you ever need to travel internationally.

I got faith in the devs as far at unlocking this phone for a custom recovery!

[Verizon LG G3] JesseMT4G:
Actually where I go it's fully covered in red. Anymore south in West Virgina and I don't know what I would do.

I don't know what the deal is where I live [Youngstown Ohio) as I am out in the boonies of PA today and under 3g sometimes, but mostly 4G lte. When I get home abd in the house it's mostly 3G....it's strange, but I am happy as out and about it works great!

Thanks
[Verizon LG G3] jreed2560:
Also keep in mind coverage maps are estimates and don't take into account things that could potentially block signal ie...trees, hills, buildings, etc.
[Verizon LG G3] JesseMT4G:
Actually Verizon has higher mhtz to do just that, especially penetrating buildings. Least that is what I have read and been told. I at times have gotten better building penetration with tmobile, lol!

Like I mentioned a post up. Works great in areas I am traveling, which is why I got this phone.

My phone for entertainment most of the time will still be the flex.
[Verizon LG G3] WheresTrent:
I'm having (what I think are) problems on Verizon, too. I'm in Bergen County, NJ - very close to NYC. In my house, I'm getting 1-2 bars of 4G LTE, generally topping out around 6-8Mb/s down. Even outside, with full bars, on a major highway, it took at least 30 seconds to load Engadget in Chrome. I've switched to LTE/CDMA and also turned off/pulled SIM/reinsterted SIM/powered on, but no improvement.

I paid off the remainder of my G2 on Tmobile so I could switch, but I may end up going back. Tmo would randomly drop service in the middle of midtown Manhattan, but at least the network was fast when it worked.
[Verizon LG G3] timjp692:
I'm in the Philly area and I always have 4g, even 60mpbs download speeds on the g3. I've been all around southeast PA and have had nothing but good coverage
[Verizon LG G3] tech_head:
Actually the reverse it true.

Lower frequency is better for building penetration.

700MHz spectrum is better for inside buildings.
[Verizon LG G3] JesseMT4G:
Whatever it is, Verizon is supposed to hold true for better building penetration. I honestly get way better 4G LTE in good areas over Verizon.... Like day and night. If not for getting coverage in areas where tmobile don't, I would never had switched.... Sucks I work in the boonies...
[Verizon LG G3] WheresTrent:
I work in NYC, where I'm sure the signal is nice and strong. I'll know more about that on Monday. At home I can use WiFi, but I'm shocked that the best I can manage using VZW is 7.95/1.26. Outside their store, of course, it was closer to 50/25. I'm thinking about whether it will be worth it to stick out with Verizon (perhaps more coverage), or go back to Tmobile.
[Verizon LG G3] RHChan84:
The only time I have had an issue was at the airport. Not just the g3 but droid RAZR and iPhone all struggled at the airport to get a stable connection. Once outside of that. I never had an issue.

[Verizon LG G3] jfriend33:
So.. Today at fams house in boonies... Phone went to 1x in pocket and took forever to go back to 4g.

My droid maxx never did this. I always had 4g or at least 3g...o boy here we go this better not make me regret leaving my moto lol
[Verizon LG G3] TonikJDK:
You need to do the sim pull boot without a sim that was suggested earlier in this thread.
[Verizon LG G3] zakkyzombie:
I haven't used vzw since the droid bionic. I've read stories about them putting safe guards to prevent root and if it gets rooted they will drop your sevace.. Is this true? I want to root and remove some vzw bloat and check out the g3 toolbox..
[Verizon LG G3] TCPDump:
That is not true. VZW does keep track of who is rooted, but they dont cancel service. They simply patch root via OTA's. Its basically a game of cat and mouse.

NetworkingPro, thanks for pointing out the LTE discovery app ! Much interesting info for curious folks like me. It tells me that the nearby Verizon tower is connecting my device sometimes on band 4, other times on band 13 ! Sometimes that changes within a single minute. Fun !
[Verizon LG G3] joshm.1219:
Nice to hear, might be picking this up soon.
[Verizon LG G3] timjp692:
For anyone that doesn't know LTE band 4 is AWS aka XLTE, and Band 13 is the orginal LTE. They should be rolling out VoLTE soon too which should be cool, finally moving away from crappy CDMA

[Verizon LG G3] WheresTrent:
Thanks for sharing this, I just downloaded it and upgraded to the premium version. I'm still a little miffed about it, my 4G strength at home usually hovers around -90 to -100 dBm. The app wasn't showing me any of the towers in my area, but perhaps it's still trying to piece that info together.

Overall, is there a radio issue with this phone and Verizon? Some users on Android Central were wondering about it, with user experience a bit mixed (and also covering various carriers). I'm not up on the logic of this, but someone next to me on the train, on her Verizon iPhone, had four bubbles of LTE, while I was struggling to keep 3G. This was on the train a few miles from Manhattan.
[Verizon LG G3] TCPDump:
VoLTE -- Meh... Until about 2 dev updates ago (the last 2 weeks) it was terrible. Its still spotty at best, and sounds crackly and distorted. Also, its kinda problematic because as the name implies it requires LTE. If you're in fringe LTE, etc., you will have terrible voice service. So far not impressed...

---------- Post added at 04:03 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:00 AM ----------

Im not aware of any radio issues specifically. Are you sure she had Verizon. Traditionally in Manhattan they have TERRIBLE AT&T over-saturation. Ive seen devices go up and down 1000 times a day on AT&T, and yet maintain solid connections with VZW. Have you tried to make a call when the LTE signal is low? If so, does it go through, and does it sound good? By default the phones use CDMA for voice, and LTE for data.
[Verizon LG G3] WheresTrent:
I'll have to try this. She did have Verizon, I was close enough to her to see Verizon on the top left of her iPhone screen. I dropped a voice call on 34th Street in Manhattan the other day while on the bus, which I thought was a little odd. I thought about switching to AT&T, but I have heard about the over-saturation. And my employer discount is only 8%. The only other legitimate option for me is T-Mobile, who I left because my network was randomly disconnecting, despite having full bars. Verizon at least gives me some coverage in the tunnels when I'm going to and from Manhattan.
[Verizon LG G3] timjp692:
I didn't even know you could turn on Volte on the g3 already? But I would figure it would suck on lte band 13 because the bandwidth is usually kinda low anyway
[Verizon LG G3] TCPDump:
You can't normally, I am not getting public release OTAs. Its not really sucking because of bandwidth, its just really not ready. It gets better with every build, but still a mess a bit. Its the same on Band 13 or 4.
[Verizon LG G3] timjp692:
Gotcha, well since your on a different build then the majority of us does the G3 seem to run better? I think the current stock verizon rom is absolutely horrible.

On to my second question, If I go and get a Replacement from the Sprint Store, do they give me options to what device I want to replace for the G2, or do they give you a better performing G2? I'm also not the Primary Account Holder on Sprint, I'm on a plan called "The Sprint Advantage Program" and with me asking for a replacement phone, with me not being the Primary Account Holder, will this hinder me from proceeding to make a replacement?

Guys I have a galaxy s3 from boost mobile. I never did the OTA update for 4.3 because I didn't want to get KNOX. I have flashed 4.3 roms with CWM recovery and KNOX removed but never like 4.3 so I would always restore my nandroid backup of "The Peoples Rom" which is running 4.1.2. I have read that if you did the OTA for 4.3 you'll have KNOX the device will brick if you try and do something like that. Now heres my question......

I want to try out a 4.4 kitkat rom for the galaxy s3 sph-L710 variant but read that you NEED the ND8 modem or kitkat wont work. The problem is I read ND8 will put KNOX in your bootloader. Does that mean I wont be able to restore my nandroid of "The Peoples Rom" on 4.1.2 without bricking? The actual 4.4 roms dont have anything KNOX related but the modem does? I have asked around and people arent really answering my question.
