Update on the north Centralia tower. I called a friend who pulled some strings and got the tower issue figured out. Back to full 4G here (and on my Galaxy Nexus even!)

The big problem I have isn't that LTE isn't working (I understand this thing is still rolling out) but that it connects but transfers no data. I don't even realize it until I've missed a bunch of communications. So I just have to turn my LTE radio off until it's all figured out.

Really? This is your idea of help? Beat this dead horse of a topic and bash the handset. Of course. Never mind the fact that it's been working for well over a month with no problems and happened to start having an issue that is being discussed here (reminder, the current discussion is about issues with signal in areas, not what device people are using and your opinion as to what is wrong with them). And thanks for pointing out my "bad choice" by the way. I just wish you had been there to correct me before I purchased this phone and saved me from all this hassle! Oh, but this is actually an issue with the tower, so maybe where I live is the bad choice? Should I have bought a house across town? Please, enlighten me. Then again, please don't. There we go. Thanks for getting back on topic. This is actually what we were discussing. Still having issues with the Blaksey Junction tower. Not sure who to contact about the issue though. I'm in Gresham area today and the LTE signal is strong and working great (yes, even on my Galaxy Nexus!!! Imagine that!) so this is definitely an issue with the towers and the new LTE rollout.

I'm having this issue too! It's been driving me crazy. 3G works fine but LTE shows connected, yet little or no data is getting through. sent from my Galaxy Nexus with Tapatalk

I'm seeing one in Centralia right now. A quick check shows about 6Mbps. Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2

Yup. No issues with clarity here. Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2

I found out this is not the tower NGeorge was talking about. This is a microwave tower linking the fiber run down I-5 while they're doing construction on the freeway here. I'll try and get over and take a pic of the tower he's talking about soon.

This is a pic of the tower at the Exit 82 in Centralia. I'm sorry it's not the best pic and the actual radio part is on the other side, but maybe it can help in identifying the tower?
