Phone repeatedly dropping 4G LTE connection

[willzzz99]

ALL 4G devices are essentially ETSI GSM/LTE devices. Even your 3G CDMA credentials are on the SIM card. Think of it as a AT&T/T-Mobile phone.

Thanks everyone ...had the phone replaced last night and the inconsistent data connection continues. Hopefully it will resolve itself sometime soon

The issue appears to have resolved itself as of yesterday afternoon/evening. I'm now maintaining a stable 4G connection. Anyone else seeing the problems cleared up?

its been about 14 hours since activating my replacement and it continues to cut in and out. spoke with vzw and they are now saying it is a known issue, no ET on resolution but expect a OTA update sometime soon. hopefully soon because i have only 10 days left to return this before being stuck with it.

Changing the subject. Did you guys paid full price for this phone?. How much does it cost when an upgrade is available in a plan?.  And as a final question.  Does the ultimited Data,cost more by owning a LTE Phone, or it still 30 dollars?. I assume verizon charges more,because obveously it cost more to them.. to have this Network .. right?

Phone is $249 on a 2 yr contract and $319 on a 1 yr contract for those who are eligible or new customers.  If you're a previous verizon customer and eligible for a NE2, that would then be subtracted from the $249 if you sign a 2 yr contract.  Some people also have work discounts that reduce the amount further.  As for the data, it's a flat $29.99 for unlimited 3G/4G data.  The mobile hotspot is also included for free until May 15th when I'll likely go to the normal $20 for 2GB.

i paid about $270 for mine ...which was $270 too much if anyone is considering the TB, hold off! as of now, the DINC is much more stable by comparison! i am still not over how the TB is advertised as 8GB internal storage and actually only has 2.49GB! its not worth it ...right now. once they fix the bugs it may be a decent phone but i think i am going to wait for the Bionic now.

I don't have an Incredible to compare to but mine is perfectly stable and performs better than a slightly modified fascinate which has better hardware.    As for memory, there's speculation that it's actually only 4 because of the way it's formatted.  But even that should be more than enough since you also have a 32GB sd card.  And meh to the Bionic.  Blur is the worst UI overlay on the market.
