I live in downtown Minneapolis but travel around the metro a bit. Beginning last summer signal and dropped calls are bad, but over the last couple months my phone is almost unusable. I have the galaxy s4 with root and stock(ish)v06 rom baseband L720VPUFNAE.
I can't ever get a call and not have it drop. Lots of times I get wierd beeps when I make a call before it starts ringing. Lots of times during a call I get a dialtone noise. Lots of times calling a number that has prompts for '1' or '2' for this or that, it does not recognize when I hit a number. If I try calling a bunch of times then eventually it works. 4G LTE comes in sometimes and sometimes is very good, but when in transition between 4g and 3g I get no data lots of times, and lots of times no data with 3g signal. My wife has iphone 4s and doesn't seem to have many problems. Is it the 4g phones or mine in particular? I'm ready to bail and go with Verizon, I feel like I'm paying for a plan when all I really have is a good wifi smallish tablet.
Can anyone offer insight? Is there something in particular with my phone? I can go back to stock if needed. I'll pay premium or whatever if that gets me more info.
Thanks
