Has anyone experienced this today? I am stuck in 1X for almost the entire day. No matter what I do, rebooting, setting to airplane mode and back, it won't kick back to 3G or 4G. By night time, it did got back to 4G/3G, but only for a few minutes and then back to 1X again. I am still new with the 4G service. Is this a common Verizon service thing or there is something wrong with my phone?
 
What I hate is this. I was still having an issue being stuck in 1x mode. Even tho I got a text message saying the issue had been resolved. Both my other phones had 3G. The HTC would go from wi-fi to 1x to 4G. Completely skipping 3G, which is nuts.

Called the dummies at vzw again. More battery pulls, more reboots. Idiots....

After I called again yesterday, I just said screw it. I got home, did a battery pull, rebooted, just because that's what they are gonna have you do anyway.

Seems to be ok so far. And to be clear, before this network issue the HTC was doing it's thing just fine. Hopefully this 4G network isn't all show and no go.

is it me or does VZW always have issues for a few days when they turn on a new group of cities?


New group of cities, new devices, when one of the top executives has a tummy ache....etc etc. They're like gas prices. "Oh look this country is in turmoil, lets raise gas prices!", "What, you say one of our tankers crashed? Lets raise gas prices!", "What a barrel of crude is down due to low consumer consumption? Lets....leave gas prices where they are."


What's weird is that it only tends to affect devices that are 4G. It always makes you think it's something wrong with your phone when the person next to you isn't having any 3G issues, but you're having 3G AND 4G issues.
