Help Is anyone from Upstate NY Here? And How is Ur Service?

I'm from Rochester as well, more specifically the henrietta area. I haven't had any issues with my phone signal or dropping calls since I bought it other than the known occassions with national outages. I constantly have 3-4 bars and lte is always between 14-20mbps. I know inside a lot of the MCC buildings are dead zones though since I work there. Current signal fluctuates between -75 and -83dbm. I'm running the 4.0.4 Imm30B leak with those newer radios incase that makes a difference.

Between Rochester and Syracuse in the Finger Lakes. 4g comes and goes. 3g is pretty solid. No lost calls. My Droid X and my wife's Tbolt have better signal though (measured in dbm, not bars). Don't pay attention to the bars-- they aren't comparable. That said the radio in the GNex isnt the best.

I'm in Latham and I had my GN for about a day before I send it back for service (I bought off Craigslist so Verizon is out of the picture). I couldn't hold a 4g signal and it would go from 3 bars of 4g to no mobile connection at all. I'll let you know when I get it back but so far I think it's the phone and not the area.
