I live in the San DIego area and have never had reliable 4G reception in my home or at work with my T-bolt. I have 2 friends who have the Samsung 4G mobile hotspot, which receives a good 4G signal without any problems in my workspace. Has anyone ever compared the 4G signal reception of your T-bolt to other 4G devices? I've had this phone for 5 months now and figured that I was just relegated to 3G only service until the 4G service was brought fully up to speed here in SD. Now I'm wondering if it's my phone that is not up to speed.
I have received a 4G signal with my phone in other areas, but I do notice that I have to restart my phone to receive the signal without intermittent drops. Does any of this sound familiar to anyone? Thanks.

Hi dtbiv,
I haven't tried to compare my TBolt to a stand alone 4G modem, but I have had this problem ever since the last MR2 update. There are several posts about this and Verizon is aware of the problem and is hopefully trying to fix it in the next update. I've tried the different suggested fixes, but what has helped most are two different approaches.

Hi Batherto,
I know it is frustrating for your device to drop to 3G in a 4G area, or 1X. Please try the following steps if you have no internet connection.
Dial ##778
Call
Hit edit
Enter 000000
Choose modem settings
Choose Rev A and change to enable
Press Commit
At this point the internet should work correctly
I assure you that this issue has been raised to HTC and we are waiting on a fix from the manufacturer. Please use the steps above for a temporary work around.
Thank you!

Thanks Pat3332. I'll give #1 a try and see if things improve. I do have the LTE On/Off app and use it a lot. Thanks again.
