I could go from five bars to roaming on my S3 in the same area

Does anyone else just suddenly start to roam in a place they usually have a strong signal

I actually would like clarification on a related issue. I seem to remember reading that CMDA had better clarity as an overall system than GSM. But as more cell phones jumped on a CMDA tower, the radius of its usable signal would decrease. Is that true?

Granted lots of work is going on but I think its just heavy traffic in the area on a maxed out system. These towers systems were constructed when 40MB hard drives were standard in PC's. Think of how much we get in emails with a hefty attachment.

"Cell breathing" does affect CDMA1X but not EV-DO Rev A. So, data usage is basically irrelevant.

I've been roaming off and on and frequently the past couple of weeks. Half the time I can't even get a data connection here in Huntsville, Alabama. I used to have great 3G. I wish they'd hurry up with whatever they're doing here. I use data nightly to stream music at work. I had to set my phone by the door for it to get a strong enough signal to barely get internet.

    • Got the latest update. On my S24 ultra the NR-ARFCN display remains constant (which is inaccurate according to diags) while n41 and 38 toggle back and forth.  I updated then rebooted before testing. Two sims active. My security patch level updated automatically to April 1 before this update. Diags sent while n38 was displaying.
    • Was able to install the March 1 Android security patch. Seems slightly more accurate with 5g ca band id, but can not swear by it. Updated google play system update through the software information screen to March 1. *#73# still works. Froze updates waiting on SCP update beta to fix n41 showing as n38.
    • Just installed it. Thanks for the info.  71 mb mar 1st date.
    • There's a permit for a new 47 story building at 205 Montague St in Downtown Brooklyn. The problem is that  T-Mobile eNB 48352 is on the building next door and this new building will block two out of 3 sectors of the site. For reference, the new building will be roughly as tall as 16 Court St which is right across the street. This site is the primary site covering Cadman Plaza so I wonder what the plan is. Will they just try to change sector placement, move to a different building, or will this just speed up the conversion of the Sprint site at 25 Monroe Place?
    • At least not recently.  I think I might have seen this a year ago.  Not Sure.
