eh I only notice it because when I try to send like a photo on iMessage when I'm in a crowded area but with good signal it just heats up the phone get stuck on the last bit of 'sending'

so I check the band out of curiosity and it shows band 13, and toggling the airplane mode lets the phone get onto band 4 and everything goes through again but the phone only shows one to two bars of signal

eventually it automatically switches back to band 13 with great signal but everything are timing out again


every loving time

sounds like your phone and carrier are pieces of poo poo

i literally hate phone calls ityool2016 primarily because call quality is 10% of what it was ityool1996

HDVoice is 80% of the reason I'm switching to AT&T. gently caress linear prediction 4kbps signals, gently caress 64kbps pots signals, it's HDVoice time with the warmest soundstage this side of Bonaroo :smugmrgw:

when i take a walk on the embarcadero in sf my phone (Google nexus four, the good phone) goes from having full LTE or 3G signal to either nothing or an EDGE signal that can't actually be used for anything despite supposedly good reception

what heck, tmob???

i'm honestly surprised anyone cares about call drops/quality any more because virtually nobody uses smartphones to make actual phone calls

a lot of people actively discourage others from calling in favor of texting

calling someone is rude, imo, expecting to talk RIGHT NOW

i have at&t and i live across the street from a 3000 capacity music venue and yeah sometimes i get dropped calls when there's a show going on

yeah, at my university they were introducing these micro hotspots at the football stadium that only covered like 100 sq ft but they had like 10,000 of them so the overall load per node was minimal

i think the NFL was looking at integrating them into new stadiums as well

nah, new construction use DASes

a bunch of small cells would make more sense for a retrofit i guess, but a bunch in a small space introduces a large amount of complexity

The three different tiers of 4g are all the same price, it just depends what you get the closer you are to a major city.
