Ok so I've seen a lot of people having 4g connection issues. I just figured I'd share my specific problem. When I first got my phone in May the 4g connection was fine. I was amazed at how fast it was. A couple weeks later I started noticing the occasional 4g drop and the phone would switch to 3g. But this would only happen for less than a minute and I figured maybe I was just passing by a bad location. Maybe a week later in June I started noticing I was losing 4g more and more often and it would stay on 3g longer and longer. In my phone's current state, I have 4g connection for maybe 20 to 30 seconds when I reboot my phone. Other than that, my phone is almost always on 3g except for the occasional 30 seconds of 4g connection. As I understand it, 4g capable phones run 3g and 4g through SIM cards. So I don't believe it's a SIM card issue since I at least have 3g connection. I'm wondering if this is a flaw in the firmware or the hardware. Has anyone had this issue of your 4g phone slowly degrading and turning into a 3g phone? I see some people get total loss of data connection. I don't have that, thankfully.
