Next to no signal in 4G LTE area, 3g/1x only if at all. can't hold calls or data.

I am visiting for a few weeks in a new area that I haven't been to before with Verizon and for the most part all I have seen is 3G/1x in what the Verizon map says is a 4G LTE area. Only 2 times I have seen 4G LTE but it was very slow and weak. Though this area is not that small of a town and AT&T for the most part works good here. ( The ones I am visiting both have AT&T, guess this is why.)
Is this not a working 4G LTE area yet that will be soon?
I never realized just how bad the 3G radio seems to be in this phone till now, can't hardly make call's. 3G to 1x then nothing, then 3G over and over. Guess I should have have tested in a non 4G LTE area more before coming here or keeping this phone.
I have tried, soft reboot, hard reboot and air plane mode. I may try a factory reset, but I think it looks to be a network issue. Or also a hardware issue. I could be wrong though and any input would be helpful. 
Thanks

Alliance Ohio, most of the state is 4G LTE or at lest that's what there map shows. The address I am staying at is clearly a 4G LTE zone. Yet I can only get 3G in the house on the top floor and not even that will hold as it filps from 3G, 1x then zip. Also it won't hold a signal in my pocket most of the time in the area as the most I have gotten is 3 bar's out of 5 in the town. The DBM sits at 107 at best nothing at all at it's worst.
I know calls go over 1x, but some times it drop's everything= no service.

    The little 'E' that was next to my signal bars has dissapeared and now i can't send texts, make calls or go on the internet. WHY? HELP!

    As suggested make sure "cellular data" is ON and you have valid cellular data plan.
    That "E" sign only shows the network (Edge) or 3G (if you are in the 3G network), but it has no relation to you not been able to make regular calls or sending regular texts with network signal (in the form of bars) being present.
    Double check if you have credit in your phone (in case of pre-paid) or if you have reached your limit (in case of post-paid)

    Theoretically yes. It will really depend on your situation. Please review the following Apple Support article to understand what is possible with the AirPort base stations and post back with any questions or help in setting up your extended network.

  • I have just downloaded itunes 10.6 and  in the process my "podcast" option under library has disappeared! The files are still on my laptop. I can also see some of my recorded music in my itunes library but can play them - there is an exclamation mark next

    I have just downloaded itunes 10.6 and in the process my "podcast" option under library has disappeared! THe files are still on my laptop. I can also see some of my recorded music in the itunes library but can't play them - there is an exclamation mark next to each track. Basically I can't use itunes - is the only option remove and replace? Thanks in advance

    Visibility of the Podcasts section is controlled from within the Edit > Preferences dialog.
    Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
    Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
    See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
    Missing tracks
    Typically this can happen because a file or folder is accidentally shunted to the wrong location. iTunes can also get confused if it expects to be talking to an external drive which isn't there. If will often reset the default media folder location and may have trouble finding files in the old folders.
    Select one of your tracks that is missing in action. Press CTRL-I to Get Info. Cancel when asked to try to locate the file, then look at the location given on the summary tab. This where iTunes thinks the file ought to be? Now find out where it actually is. Post back the two locations for comparison. I should be able to give you some steps to reconnect everything once I can determine which of the things that might have gone wrong is most likely in your case.
    When you get it all working make a backup!

  • Just bought Apple Extreme. Can I use my old Linksys extender to boost signal in a closed area?

    Can anyone tell me if I can still use an existing Linksys Wireless Range Extender (WRE 54G) with my new Apple Extreme Routher please?

    Apple uses proprietary settings for their "extend a wireless network" feature, which are designed to only allow other Apple device to extend the network. Therefore, it is extremely unlikely that a Linksys product would be able to wirelessly extend an Apple network.
    If you plan to connect the Linksys 54G to the Apple AirPort Extreme using a wired Ethernet connection, then you could set up the Linksys router to provide more wireless signal coverage that way. Configure the Linksys router in bridge mode to provide a wireless network using the same wireless network name, same wireless security setting and same password as the Apple network.

    There has been no signal in Springdale, UT for hours today. there is no way to contact Verizon (Calling or Web Chat). Service has been deteriorating for the past two years in the area. Worse fact is no one at the company seems to care. Right now the immediate issue is no service. I cannot do business this way.

    You used the data.  Verizon can not see what it was sued for.  However your phone can see whats apps used the data.  go to settings-data usage- there will be a place that says data usage cycle.  line the dates up with your cycle.  then there will be a bar graph below that   extend bother white bars one all the way to the left and one all the way to the right.  after those are extended below that will be a list of apps,  there should be one that used over 2 gb and that will show you what app used that data in her purse

    Try rebooting your router and or cable modem. Unplug it/them for about 30 seconds and then plug back in. See if it works then.
    Reboot your iPad as well.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • Bad or No signal in Denver/Thornton area

    Is anyone else having signal problems with their new iphone? I am dropping calls or unable to make calls from my office or home. I didn't have this problem with the original iphone.

    I'm having the same problem. I'm in Aurora and have driven all over now. I just got the phone yesterday but if 3G is on I can't make or receive calls, although data generally works. However sometimes its slower than edge. I love the iphone but have spent all day talking to ATT and Apple. I'm seriously considering taking it back because Apple just blames ATTs network and ATT blames the phone. I took the phone to the AT&T store and they held it up side by side with other 3G phones they had full signal in 3G but the iphone 3g had 1 bar. This seems like strong evidence its the phone to me. If I turn 3G off its fine but what is the point in having a 3G phone. Apple support finally told me to take it to an Apple store but there is more than a 24hr wait to get an appointment. Of course I tried to just go in and the person I talked to turned 3G back on(since I left it off so I could actually get calls) and of course in the apple store in Cherry creek there is full signal. Unfortunately I don't live or work there.

  • HT4528 About 30 minutes ago, my iphone 4 screen just went white. It still shows the time, signal and battery at the top, but everything else is white. I can't receive calls/text messages. My phone will not lock or turnoff,  but it will charge. HELP!!

    I don't know what to do. My iPhone 4 just all of a sudden had a blank white screen. It still shows the bar at the top with the signal, time, and battery life. But the rest of the screen is white. If I touch the screen it acts like it's selecting something and gives me the choice to "Copy". It will still charge when I plug it up, but i cannot turn it off or lock the screen. I tried leaving it alone for awhile to see if it will lock on its own, like it normally would, and all it does is dim the screen. I guess im going to try to just let it die, and then see what happens, but if anyone else has any suggestions (other than taking it in to be looked at or getting a new phone) I would greatly appreciate it!

    Any number of things could have caused the phone to do this. If after the reset you are experiencing additional problems, the next step in the troubleshooting process is a restore from a backup. Make sure you have one before you start the restore process. If that does not improve things, then you may have to restore as a new device. Remember, restoring as a new device will delete all data off the phone. Make sure all of your pictures are imported to the computer and all other data is synced to supported applications on the computer before restoring as new. See this support document about backups http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4946, and this about restoring the phone. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414

  • How can I get Firefox to "grab onto" and then "hold onto" the data signal until I tell Firefox to release it at the end of my session of internet browsing?

    ok, I hope that my description of this problem does not come out in such a disorganized fashion that it makes the description difficult to follow. here goes: every 30 seconds to 1 minute (or thereabouts, I'm estimating) my mobile phone's browser (whether Firefox or any other) loses the data signal, so that tje next time that. I click on something, I get an error message that the "data connection timed out, retry" or "network unavailable" or "check that you are connected to that internet", etc. etc. etc. I have downloaded many apps that are supposed to boost data connectivity and/or improve internet speed, blah, blah, blah, till I discovered that was a problem with the server being able to keep up with staying locked onto my browser. in one of these apps diagnostic screens, I found a notation that therr was something wrong with my cell's relative position. well, how could that be, I wondered, since I had "GPS tracking" "GPS reporting" and "location sharing" all enabled? but, then I noticed, on the image of my cell's location as represented by this particular app, that every half minute, or so, the blue dot which represented my cell's location would slip to the left about one quarter of an inch, or so, and in the longitude and latitude part of this app's diagnostic screen I saw that the numerical designations of my cell's longitude and latitude were zero and zero. it suddenly occurred to me that the server had lost sight of my cell because my cell had moved too far out of the range of that server's sight due to the rotation of the earth. well, blow me down, what am I supposed to do to fix that? how can I tell my cell phone's OS to send out some kind of identifying info on a constant basis, so that the server could keep track of it (and I would not lose the signal)? or, conversely, how could I get my cell phone's browser to grab onto the signal and not let go of it until I was done with that internet session, at which time I would then manually release the signal myself? I hope that my explanation of the problem made enough sense that you could follow it and that you can come up with a workable solution for me. oh yeah, my phone is an LG OPTIMUS ELITE 696. thanx, from the enragedkangaroo.

    Hello,
    I'm afraid I don't think there is going to be much we can do to help you here. The description sounds like an issue with the phone rather than with Firefox specifically.
    I don't think the problem can be caused by you moving out of range of the cell, due to the rotation of the earth. The cell towers (that provide phone signal) are sitting on the earth, just like you, and so move at the same speed as you. This might be a concern with satellite phones using Low Earth Obit satellites but this isn't the case here.
    I think the best thing to do would be to get in touch with your Phone Operator or Device Manufacturer for support. If you are out of the support period or can't get support from them for some other reason then a standard 'cure-all' for mobile phones is to do a Factory Reset. This will return your phone to its default factory settings and wipe all of your data / modifications off the phone. This tends to solve most problems and is probably what the official support team would tell you to do. I can't guarantee that it will help but it has a good chance.
    There are instructions on resetting your phone here:
    http://www.hard-reset.com/lg-optimus-elite-hard-reset.html
    I hope that helps.
