    Poll for people who have VZW 4G Phones

    I believe that VZW pushed out all 4G phones before the network was really ready. So now they are trying to catch up by tweaking the towers and the software. So I thought it would be interesting to see out of all those who have a 4G phone what problems they are having. This is mainly focused on the data issues.

    Please post your phone type if you wish with the specific problem.

    I have the Bionic and I'm not convinced that the leaked .893 update has solved my data connection issues. I live in Covington Kentucky which is right across the bridge from Cincinnati and according to the Verizon map 4G is pretty heavy in all areas I travel and I still see 3G. I'm thinking about unrooting and returning to stock then re-rooting with forever root and waiting on Verizon's official OTA. Just not sold on the leaked version. It's very annoying seeing 3G on a 4G phone.

    Charge here. Data has been excellent here in Cleveland, Oh, even getting a 4G signal in areas I didn't plan on. In the beginning, however, it wasn't so great. The handoff was questionable, but seamless lately. Couldn't be happier, well until a new Droid4 or Razor and a GNex soon.

    My wife's Charge works great, never loses connection here in Seattle. Can't say the same for my Bionic tho.
    Rooted OG D1 running Liquid Gingerbread 2.6, Project Elite v6.5, Droid Concepts 12 and many more!

    A Droid Bionic evolved into a Rezound which then evolved into a Nexus! Running whatever Rom I'm feeling for the day.

    My thunderbolt works great here in Detroit. The 4G speeds have defiantly slowed down a ton(coming from a person who got the thunderbolt the day it released). If they want to keep their fast speeds here they will have to start upgrading their tower's bandwidth.

    Yea I was just trying to narrow it down as to whether it was a hardware/software issue or a combination of both. To me now it's just in certain areas I'm losing data, which leads me to believe even more that it's the towers, but the software could also be playing a part in this.

    I have had the 4g data loss issues so I just stick with 3g for now. I haven't tried the cheesecake update but if its another month or two before the OTA update comes out, I think I might go for it.

    Bionic is perfect on 4G/wifi when in the 4G area. (90% of my time). When I get in a fringe zone or 3G only zone, it is a bit of a fight to get data, but the phone seems to keep it once I get it.
    I was just at the beach condo for the first time with the Bionic (14th floor of a 18 floor building, 3G area). My OG had a great data connection, with no pixel Netflix etc. My Bionic could not keep 3G inside the condo. It cycled back and forth to 1x, I haven't seen 1x in years. Netflix was unwatchable. I had to step outside on the balcony to keep 3G. I couldn't even make a phone call inside the condo on the Bionic, had to step out on the deck. The OG was no issue on calls either.
    Droid does some cool and amazing things. Yet it does not do some basic stuff that has been stock on most phones for years. It makes me think the Google developers were marooned in some kind of a 1977 LOST flashback/flashforward/sideways combo reality gameshow
