- I had it happen to me today for the first time, at least as far as I've noticed. I was in a large supermarket when I noticed it. I was using my ViP to access the Internet and I had no trouble getting on and getting to the site I wanted. The signal returned to 3G when I turned around toward the windows, so I might have just been standing in a bad spot.
Otherwise, no complaints about the signal from my jailbroken ViP. In fact, I'm finding the signal to be much better than my VZW BB Bold 9650.02-21-2011 09:27 PMLike 0 - Hmm. Sounds like to me that the nation's most reliable network isn't so reliable if it drops from their 3G to 1xRTT frequently like that for some. Either that or maybe the issue isn't really anyone's network, but a poor stack from Apple. Several co-workers had either Blackberry or Windows mobile phones before they switched to the ViPhone. I can easily say that their voice quality has gone south.
YMMV.02-21-2011 10:28 PMLike 0 - I think it all depends on your specific location. I know that in my area I am getting a consistently good signal, much better than I ever got on my Verizon BB. In fact, people have said that I sound much better on the iPhone than I did on the BB.
I did have the "o" incident today, but it went back to 3G pretty quickly.
Where I live, which is northern NJ, Verizon has the best signal of all the carriers; I don't know anyone who isn't on Verizon. Around here, Verizon does have the most reliable network.
As you said, YMMV, and that really depends on where you live and/or spend the most time. It's less carrier vs carrier as it is location vs location, at least IMHO.02-21-2011 10:52 PMLike 0 - I have this problem at work... Always "o" and my two coworkers have the same phone, OS, etc and they are fine all day and have "3G" ALL DAY!!!!... My battery is gone by the end of the day and theirs aren't... WTF!!! what is up with this?????02-24-2011 04:12 AMLike 0
- Go under Settings,General,Network and make sure you have Data Roaming turned on. See if that changes things for you at work.02-24-2011 07:54 AMLike 0

I'm not sure what impact turning data roaming on/off will have in good coverage areas - I know it's good to turn it off in instances where you might be near a national boarder, and might lock onto an expensive data signal without knowing it until you get an outrageous bill.02-24-2011 02:10 PMLike 0 -
