Not quite, 4G is LTE. LTE is more similar to GSM than it is to CDMA, but it is not GSM.

Verizon uses 700, 850, 1700, and 2100MHz for LTE. ATT uses 700, 850, 1700, 1900, and 2100MHz for LTE. In the case of both carriers, there are generally not more than 1 or 2 of those frequencies in any given area and they are not always the same ones for both carries. Some areas have the lower frequencies which allows the signal to pass through buildings more easily, other areas have the higher frequencies which allows the signal to be bounced off of buildings which results in poorer building penetration, but can result in increased signal outside due to the signal being bounced off of surrounding surfaces. In your case you are almost definitely in a low frequency ATT and high frequency Verizon area. It is also possible that your work has a signal booster for ATT, but not for Verizon and that may be why you see dramatically better ATT signal there. No carrier is best everywhere, but Verizon is best in more places than any other US carrier. If you live/work in an area that ATT is better you should probably just go back to them.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] bwheelies:
Verizon used to be better for me. I notice a pattern now where upon arrival to my house my signal goes from 3 to 5 bars of LTE to two or 1 or drops to 3g. Not only at my current residence but my last one as well. Like throttled down at home. I live in a flat city that should not have dead zones.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] joshm.1219:
I live in a city with full coverage from all the carriers, but Verizon is the only carrier that keeps me connected from Philly to AC and back.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] nekrosoft13:
its funny that you mention signal boosters, actually its opposite, my work has no boosters for ATT and has couple for Verizon.... the problem is that they boosters they have bought go thought internet connection, the internet connection is a standard T1 line shared by about 500-700 workers some with workstations and smartphones on wifi and some with both.

When I was outside work, I was on LTE band 4.

inside work I have 3G with one-two bars that every 20+ minutes disconnect and drop to 1x, the sucky thing is that even when those 1-2 bars are present data doesn't work.

and WiFi is so saturated and its useless too....

Before someone says that the trouble is caused by Verizon boosters, before the boosters were put in place, there was zero Verizon signal inside the building, again outside was fine.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] billygoat32:
So this is what it's come to.... :'( In some remote way this makes me feel old.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] wingdo:
I'm not going to rehash all of what has been said, but there are two items you need to keep in mind.

First, you should check to see if you are in an XLTE area. XLTE makes use of the AWS spectrum and will do a better job of penetrating buildings.

Second, and most important .... If you have both a regular Verizon signal AND a Verizon Network Extender signal, the radios are designed to latch onto the Network Extender assuming that it will provide the best cell reception. The network extender is designed to make sure PHONE CALLS get through, and nothing more. The first and second generation Network Extenders provided only 1x data, while the latest generation Network Extenders provide 3G. There are no 4G LTE Network Extenders. As long as you are latching onto a network extender, you will NOT have good data. Period. You'll have great phone calls though. The "bars" reflect DATA coverage, not voice coverage. Phone calls will be fine even with zero bars. Data will be slow no matter what.

Again, the network extenders are meant to make certain people can make and receive PHONE CALLS (it is a cell phone after all) and not data.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] cstone1991:
Also, band 4 is the highest frequency that VZW uses for LTE and therefore the worst at penetrating buildings.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] nekrosoft13:
so basically Verizon sucks In the area where my work is. why would they use a band that is worse at penetrating buildings since this is mostly industrial park with warehouse like buildings and buildings with thick concrete walls.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] cstone1991:
Basically yeah. The boosters that your work uses aren't helping either when it comes to data, they actually probably make the problem even worse as another person pointed out. The carriers own licenses for different bands or spectrums in different areas. They can only use the ones that they own in the areas that they own them. There are many reasons why a carrier may purchase higher frequencies in some areas, but the main one is that they just have to buy what is available and that's probably what happened in that area. In some scenarios the higher frequencies do perform better, building penetration just isn't one of the things that they do well.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] xdadevnube:
I thought that VZW had band 13 everywhere they have LTE. I thought they just started adding Band 4, so if you connect to Band 4 then 13 is present. Otherwise, all the old VZW phones would not get LTE at all.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] nekrosoft13:
there are other people in the office that have verizon and same ****ty service.

we are looking into purchasing this for work, http://www.wilsonamplifiers.com/wilson-ag-pro-4g-70db-amplifier-kit-461104/

just not sure how this will play with current 3G repeaters that are in the building.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] madjinx:
If ATT is so on par with Verizon outside of work, but Verizon is so unusable at work, why not just return the phone and get out of the contract? Pretty sure you have 2 weeks to do so.

In my area ATT and Sprint have poor coverage and speeds. Most people at my job work only get a signal if they use Verizon phones.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] nekrosoft13:
my Verizon bill for two people is 150, with ATT it will be 176....

oh and we do like to go for road trips, and verizon is supposelly better when you are a bit farther from civilizations. but if it doesn't work well where I am 8-10 hours a 5 days a week.... then....
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] fury683:
I guess I don't see the point of saving $25/mo and spending over $750 on an amplifier that may not work, or may interfere with the amplifiers already in the building. The savings of $25/mo would take almost 3 years to offset the cost of the amp. Just my thoughts...
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] madjinx:
15$ a month extra to be able to get good reception somewhere you spend half your waking hours at seems worth it.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] nekrosoft13:
that $750 would be covered by the company
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] SFG:
Sounds you are sacrificing quality of service for the phone. That will get you through a couple months at most before you start regretting the switch as you are constantly having to walk outside to get MMS and phone calls.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] cstone1991:
I have experience with Wilson products (although not that particular kit). They definitely make a big difference when installed correctly as long as they have an amplifier like that kit does. That kit should provide much better signal in the building. You're in the perfect situation for a kit like that to excel since you have adequate service outside.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Xelios029:
That's just the way it is, it's the composition of the building. I get absolutely no signal, not even 3g in half of the buildings in my university. Other ones have full 4G with no issues. Nothing you can really do about it. My buddy has T-Mobile and he gets signal. But half the times on a road trip his signal drops to nothing and we rely on my phone because of the general coverage.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] nekrosoft13:
been reading more and more, isn't that pretty much ATT and Verizon differ?

ATT works better in urban areas, with buildings, inside buildings because somehow can get though walls better

Verizon works better in country, with cows and trees.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] wingdo:
He is on a network extender at work. Phone calls and SMS/MMS will work fine. It's data which sucks on network extenders.

The biggest question would be a test where your IT department would power down the extenders and see how things go inside the building.

Remember, the phone is designed to latch on to the network extender if one is in range. The data bars you see are from the extender, and not Verizon's towers.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] nekrosoft13:
so if our department ends up buying this http://www.wilsonamplifiers.com/wilson-ag-pro-4g-70db-amplifier-kit-461104/

that supposed to amplify outside signal and bring it inside, will the extenders still screw things up?

according to IT, extenders where put in place because there was no Verizon signal in the building in first place.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] nekrosoft13:
another thing I just noticed.... why can't I go on the web when I'm calling?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] fury683:
Because the phone is not capable of it yet.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] nekrosoft13:
wait... so other Verizon phones can? will this phone ever be able to do it? or is it a hardware limitations?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] fury683:
It will be available in a software update, no date yet.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] wingdo:
The Droid Turbo is made for VoLTE. As with first generation LTE phones, there is only one antenna in the body. The antenna can only deal with one set of frequencies at a time. If you are on a CDMA phone call, LTE shuts down. Verizon has already stated the next software update will enable VoLTE (voice over LTE) which will render the need for the CDMA chipset unnecessary and since voice calls will be over LTE data, you will be able to do voice and data at the same time.

I am quite certain that the extenders were put into place because there was no Verizon signal in place at the time. The question isn't was there signal years ago when they were installed, but would there be signal now. Verizon has opened up new spectrums since network extenders were installed. Down the road, no Verizon phone will have a CDMA radio and that will render the need for the current type Network Extender unnecessary.

The antenna system you show is a proven system. It works quite well, and I had several installed at a company I used to work for (but for AT&T not Verizon as Verizon was stellar in the buildings but AT&T had no GSM signal). The thing to remember though as I have mentioned, your phone is meant to latch on to a Network Extender over a regular signal. Signal bars are 100% irrelevant when on a Network Extender.

Can't you hook your phone up to the WiFi at work to get data while on the Network Extender? We always could.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] cstone1991:
You wouldn't want to have both the extenders and the amplifier, you would replace the extenders with the amplifier. From the product page, that extender will enhance 1x, 3g, and LTE for Verizon so there would be no need for the extenders.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] lukester01:
Serious issue with extender

I bought a business class Verizon extender for $400 because the Turbo has less reception than my LG G2 did, but there seems to be a serious flaw in the Turbos programing (or maybe it's the antenna). I can be right next to the extender with only a couple bars, if I go to make a phone call it suddenly jumps to full bars. The issue could be battery saving? Because if I walk 30 feet from the extender I will lose the extender connection all together. I can then walk back to the extender and have no connection even when right next to it. Basically the extender is useless at 30ft because it will always lose connection.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] icem237:
@OP. It's towers in your area. Not the phone . may be in one of the rare areas that Verizon may not cover well. Rf is a picky thing. Metal buildings or large concrete structures will significantly attenuate a signal . so it's my thinking that att had better coverage where you work.

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] wdickers:
So through trying to re-root my M8, I caused it to boot loop and decided to flash a new ROM. I have S-OFF and TWRP installed. Unfortunately, I tried installed it by naming the ROM 0P6IMG.zip and putting it on my sd card. That didn't work, but now I can't get into recovery because at the bootloader it instantly reads the zip and tries to install (and then makes me shut down). Is there a way to bypass the system trying to read/install 0P6IMG.zip so I can go into recovery and delete the file?

So far I've only found that holding power causes a shut down
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] santod040:
Take the SD card out.

Use an SD card reader to rename it.

Or use another SD card until you have a ROM booted.

If you have a backup, you can restore that while SD card is out.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] wdickers:
I JUST remembered the external sd card can be removed. Woohoo!

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Imperialfire:
Tmobile likely will find you.

Attempting to use T-Mobiles unlimited data plans to wifi hot spot or tether your PC is limited to 5gb. Additionally using Apps to attempt to disguise a PC tethered through your phone will increase the risk of being either detected or suspected of doing so with every Gb you burn beyond 5. Once either positively detected or highly suspected of tether abuse you will discover an unannounced throttle which persists for several billing periods beyond the last detected/suspecte tether abuse cycle.

Hi,

I just bought the Moto X from At&t (contract). I hear that the PE is already getting Android 5.0 Updates! Is there any chance the I can get those updates? I do not mind purchasing unlock codes etc.

If not, any idea how long At&t will take to infect the 5.0 update with their stuff and send out the updates? Or should I just return this and purchase the Pure Edition.

Thanks :)
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shamelin73:
Supposibly the XT1095 (Pure) is getting a soak test from what I am reading. If you have the money I would recomend getting that over the AT&T version. I currently have the XT1095 and using it on AT&T.

Either are great phones, however with the AT&T version your locked to AT&T and locked boot loader.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _MetalHead_:
If money isn't an issue, return it and get the Pure Edition. No bloatware, and it has an unlockable bootloader and is very easily rooted. Otherwise, just sit tight, your X will get official lollipop VERY soon.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sanjsrik:
So, with all the pre-orders and people finding that it's going to be hard to get one any time soon, when will stock be available? To me, this just sounds like a ploy to build up a buzz about "who can get the N6 first" and then release it in normal numbers after the hype has been promoted.

So, if I come back in a month or two, will normal stock numbers make the device easier to get?

Benefits of waiting:

* By waiting, any issues with hardware/software will be brought out by the numerous early adopters.

* By waiting, if there are updates to the software or hardware that need to be released, they will be by the time late-market adopters get in on the action

* By waiting, more accessories may be introduced into the market as some accessory makers wait to see what the reception of a device is into the market before releasing accessories

* By waiting, more stock and therefore, better pricing may occur (although this one is a stretch even on a good day)

Cons of waiting:

* You don't get the device before anyone else (not really a big deal if you've got a perfectly good working device, after all for a lot of us, smartphones are a luxury not a necessity, YMMV)

* You don't get the latest and greatest tech immediately (see previous point)

I just see more benefits to waiting than in running out and getting this just because it's "new"

Of course, this is my opinion, yours may be different.
