Let me first start by saying hello, and thanks for the forum. I have found it helpful.
I have been an android user now going on 3 years. I am recently leaving AT&T after 10 years because I am fed up with the contracts and their bull. So I decided to go no contract after a friend raved about it after leaving Verizon. They said Boost is the best, so I decided to go with Boost. This past Black Friday, they ran a special on the Warp for $64. I thought it was a good deal, and the guys at Best Buy pretty much said this phone is one of the better ones on Boost. Thus far, I really like this phone, and is potentially my best Android to date (I have had a Galaxy and a Motorola). I have already rooted the phone, and plan on trying some of the mods here soon. Fast speed, (faster than the Galaxy I had actually) although the display and camera lacks.
Well, phone aside, I am now having trouble with Boost's service where I work. It is a brick building, inside a brick room. I get NO bars there. I was told to turn on wi-fi to get some more, while I was able to go from 0 to like a half a bar, still not enough to keep from missing calls. I kind of like this phone, so I am wondering has anyone tried this phone on Cricket. I am thinking of flashing it to their network because everyone on Cricket is able to get reception in the building. Other Boost (and Sprint) customers claimed they get no reception either. Naturally, AT&T and Verizon is getting service, but I do not want to bark up ATT's tree again.
Please tell what is a good option, or how can I boost signal to get it in the building.
