Poor 4G coverage in my building

Hello,
         I am located at 60661 in Chicago and from past 1 year I have such a poor reception in my location. If I am basement of this building my speeds are sky rocketing, as soon as you come up to the 10th floor, everything drops down to less than 500KBps. My colleagues with AT&T and T-Mobile services have an amazing 4G coverage.
Please suggest something, if this can't be improved then I am thinking of moving to a different career.
Current Phone: LG G2

Hi Antonio,
You are suggesting I go buy a $249 extender that is only going to give me
3G. I'm not going to do that while I'm paying for 4G for my service.  I
will switch to AT&T before I do that.  They do provide 4G that works in my
house as I've seen from friends coming over with the AT&T service.  The
fact that this has gotten worse over the last 6 months is not an issue with
structural as you mention.  I'm in a populated area with residential
homes.  The neighbors and myself expect better from Verizon then just
telling us that it's because we are in our houses is why we can't get
service.  Seriously??  There are no large buildings or recent changes in
our area that would seem likely to affect the service.  How about sending
out a representative to do some testing and try to find out what the issue
is before telling me to go buy equipment.
Regards,
-Jon

  • 3G switching back to EDGE because of poor ATT coverage major battery drain?

    I have the orig iPhone, my friend cam to my office today with the 3G iPhone. We kinda marked off all the areas that the 3G would drop and EDGE pick up. The 3G phone basically had more areas that it did not have coverage than it did. Every time the phone would re-scan, and EDGE would pop back up. It probably dropped to EDGE 20 times as we walked different areas over lunch. After seeing that 3G does not have good coverage anywhere by my house or office I think I will wait for the 3G coverage to get better... I am in Orange County So Cal, was thinking the coverage would be perfect?? Also, it seems all the back & forth with the phone trying always to be on 3G when the coverage is poor drained the battery to 20% in a 2 hour period, with push off, screen down, wifi off local settings off.
    Anybody have any benchmarks on the amount of draining happens during the phone trying to always scan for a 3G connection?

    While I don't have any true benchmarks, I can say that I've tested the battery life with personal usage both with 3G on and 3G off for a day to see what was up with my extremely poor battery life. I can say that turning 3G off made a huge difference for me. It increased the battery life of my iPhone 3G to about what it was with my original iPhone. I can say that I'm probably getting roughly 1.5x - 2x the battery life I was with 3G enabled by just turning it off.
    With 3G on but little to no coverage, the phone is ramping up the work it's doing to try to obtain and keep that connection. If it's just not available, you'll definitely see the phone's battery draining faster than normal as it tries to acquire signal. Remember the days of poor phone coverage in general? Phones drained batteries in much the same way.
    Sure, it ***** to turn 3G off since it's something that I'm basically paying for but I'd much rather have a phone that makes it through an entire day of usage rather than one I'm finding I have to be careful about how much I use it just so I don't have to charge it twice in one day. It's more desirable to me to be able to use my phone for a longer period of time than to have a fast data connection. Besides, WiFi isn't as big of a battery drainer as the 3G connection is so I'm perfectly content with switching that on if I need fast web access. Also, there's nothing stopping me from turning 3G back on when I'm in a good coverage area (basically anywhere outside around here... I'm in Orange County, too) at which point the battery performance is better anyway.

  • Poor data coverage, Amherst MA town center

    Experiencing very poor data coverage, including regular texts, in downtown area of Amherst, MA.  Most of rest of town has good LTE coverage, but past couple of months signal drops to a 1G in the town center, and can rarely get any data to pass, sometimes even basic texts come back as undeliverable.  I have asked others and they say they have the same problem, so not just my phone (IPhone 5).  Being in public safety and working downtown this is a big issue.  It used to be much better coverage here.  I let it go for awhile thinking they were working on a  tower or something but it has now been a couple of months at least.  Looking for an official phone number or email to report it to Verizon but cannot find one.

        KindaUnhappy , I'm sorry you're having issues with your signal. I understand how frustrating it can be to have a phone and cant use the internet which is very important. I recommend power cycling periodically, performing a battery pull, clear the cache and browser history periodically, and close apps your not using daily. I will list steps below. Are your issues occuring inside or outside? Have you every performed a  hard reset on your phone?
    1) Steps to clear cache/browser history http://tiny.cc/k6jwkw
    2) Steps to clear temporary internet files http://tiny.cc/p7jwkw
    3) Steps to perform a factory rest http://tiny.cc/b9jwkw
    Please let me know if the above steps help resolve your issue.

  • Report poor data coverage

    Where can I report poor data coverage for my verizon 4G LTE hotspot?
    Salem Oregon, 97305.
    Specifically the Corner of Cordon Rd and Hazelgreen Rd NE.  A little place called EZ Orchards has very poor data coverage. DOesn't matter inside, outside or upside down they unit get only 1 bar of data and cycle between 4G LTE AND 3G, it even show 1x evdo and basically useless.

        We're here to do a service checkup nglayton! May I ask have you contacted our customer service dept yet? If not then let's look into this together. May I ask what model hotspot/jetpack do you have? Any liquid/physical damage on the device? Do you have any issues in another area outside of the zip code that you provided? As you share the details then we can investigate.
    Thank you…

  • Very Poor CDMA coverage - Downtown Sterling, MA

    Hoping a VZW rep can help, I'm fed up with VZW even as it is an otherwise flawless carrier.
    My home in Sterling, MA is located between two towers and nothing I do seems to help with calls.  They're dropping, spotty, and my phone is utterly unreliable. Checking the signal strength of the network, it's always ~ -90 to -100 dBm, which results in 0-2 bars, and the phone constantly switching towers and looking for service.  I've tried PRL updates, different areas of the apartment, and even going outside; but the problems persist.  Once I get out of the downtown area, the problems go away.
    3G doesn't seem to be an issue, as I get 3-4 bars with that service.  4G hasn't been rolled out here yet.
    It's becoming more and more a pain, as I'm currently working from home and use VZW to conduct business.  I had issues with two phones now, my Droid A885, and now the Droid 3.  I've tried troubleshooting the phones, but it's obvious it's a coverage issue, and not a phone issue.  Family in the area, which I ended up reccomending VZW service too, have also been having these issues.
    Is there anything VZW can do rectify the problem?  Are there any options for me, besides switching carriers / using my land line?

    @Trantll
    That is horrible to have poor service in and around your home I understand how you would need your device there most of all! Thank you for the troubleshooting that you have already done you've helped narrow down what could be causing this issue.
    Have you ever had good service in or around your apartment? Since other devices are also having a issue there has a trouble ticket ever been opened for your home location?
    What a trouble ticket is we send a engineer out to your location they test the signal outside and at the tower to see if any improvements can be made. To open a trouble ticket please PM me and I'll get your account information or call Technical Support at 800-922-0204.
    Another way to boost signal in your apartment would be a Network Extender. Here's a link for that device. It's a great help in signal challenged locations.
    Thank you

  • "Poor Signal", "Coverage hole pre alarm for client" after changing from Autonomous to Lightweight infrastruture

    Dears,
    I use to have wireless infrastructure based on autonomous APs 1142n, auth w/ 802.1x and everything was fine.
    My Company decided to implement WLC 5508, and I changed only 2nd floor (2 APs) as lightweight and implement WLC over there as pilot testing...
    Now All persons here (around 35 clients) are complaining about disconnections, poor signal...
    Both APs are distant each other maximim of 15 meters... Our office has a medium open spaced room, with (20 X 15 meters) only 2 "Pilaster" in the middle of the room.

  • Acer Iconia A200, poor network coverage error, won't update

    I have the Acer Iconia A200 tablet and I'm trying to make sure that it is updated. It has become very slow. When I go to check for software updates I receive the error: "Network Coverage - Network coverage is currently poor. Please move to a location with better coverage to continue." When I first started receiving this error, I only had 2 signal bars on my WIFI so I moved to the room that my WIFI is located in. I had full signal and still received the same error. I did a factory restore on it and went through the setup process and still received the same error. I can get online, download games, etc. Granted watching things like Netflix or anything it is extremely slow and takes a very long time to load. I brought the tablet with me to work today to see if maybe it is just something with my WIFI. I logged into our network here and I am still receiving the same network coverage error. Please help! Thank you in advance!

    it's an error message about Acer server not reachable.simply Acer shutted down the old update servers, so now the only way to update or check the latest version, is using the Acer support website: http://us.acer.com/ac/en/US/content/drivers/4005;-;A200

  • Very poor mobile coverage in the house

    Despite apparently reasonable network coverage for this area, we struggle with making and receiving calls.
    A local friend was issued with some form of booster box by EE. How do we go on about getting one?
    It seems crazy that we recently took out new contacts with 4G coverage and bought new handsets to benefit, but can't get good phone calls!
    Thanks for any advice.

    No network can guarantee that you can get a signal inside a building of any kind, only outside your home. There are a few phones, that have wifi calling, but you will have to ring EE to see if they can supply you with a booster, unfortunately. What phone do you have?
     

  • Very poor cell coverage, and the tower is reported a few miles down the road

    Voice calls, even with 3 bars, whether it shows 1x or 3G, on the iPhone4S are worthless. The calls will drop out, not might. Other parties can't hear me when they do connect. I contacted VZ while at work, but they want me to t-shoot from home (ho hum...and do what? I can't update roaming, although I question I'm trying to hit a roaming tower from home), the call will fail. What does it take to have VZ do a signal strength test in my area and determine what can be done? I certainly can't call from home, and there is no live chat available, even though it's during the reported available times. I can't say AT&T is much better, but if any friends ever show up with an AT&T phone, I'll sure closely examine their service.

    ZIP = 95060
    x-street closest to my residence = Empire Grade Road and Conifer Lane.
    Info I find on line about cell tower placement puts one at about 12600 Empire Grade Rd, which is only a few miles from me.
    I updated roaming capability this morning while in an area of acceptable signal, but I don't know that roaming matters when I am hitting (albeit poorly) a VZ tower nearby.
    I am in the mountains, but on the top ridge line, not in a canyon.
    All I ask is a signal strength assessment in this immediate area; I'm sure other users cannot use their phones, either.

  • Poor data coverage in Wadsworth, IL What are Verizon standards, what are Verizon's plans.

    Verizon customer since about 1988, ready to blow my top because I am paying for a data plan for years and years and get very spotty coverage at home. I have had big problems since 4gLTE was introduced, been patient for over 2 1/2 years and now just really want to stop hearing the 4G hype, and start actually seeing some bars of signal when I am at home, enough already. I did a speed test today after about 90 minutes of not being able to use LTE or CDMA for data and it's time for some answers. Speed test results:  Download speed:  0.51 Mbps  (yes thats a zero in from of a decimal)  Upload is 0.17 (another 0  leads that number as well).  I ordered a Samsung Galaxy Note 3 to arrive in a few days, and by god I just read in these forums that the phone does not pick up signal well. That is all I need. How about getting real about infrastructure in the Gurnee, IL area and north. I live less than 2 miles from Highway 41, why does nothing work here?

    I have put phone to safe mode and no difference in signal. I am out of safe mode now and at -110dBm 4g. At least it is connected to LTE. Could customer service please open a ticket to check tower (s)  affecting 1 mile south of Wadsworth,IL and I will check back in a day or two, when I also have the Note 3.  I get so mad going to the Verizon store exactly 7.4 miles away, full signal there, just banging.  Bet there isn't another tower any closer to me than that one the store uses to light up all their stuff.But this has been going on for over 2.5 years, just to re-iterate.

  • Poor data coverage in Bellevue, WA, dowtown area.

    I'm getting full/almost full signal outside, but almost to internet. Internet speed is below 5kb/s, very unstable, drops every few minutes.
    106-112 streets, around 8th ave, downtown Bellevue
    Anybody experiencing same problems? Any way to resolve this with Verizon?

    That's a known dead spot. I called in in several times but they told me it's between towers and given that there's quite a lot of buildings and the position of the towers, there's no easy way of resolving it without building additional towers in the area and the added expense to build the towers. I'm at the Transit center (108th and 6th)  and I can barely get internet access and phone service from time to time. It could be that it's over-loaded/over-subscribed. i know I had difficulties yesterday around 106th and 4th which caused my phone to become unregistered and I had to call customer support to have my phone re-associated.

  • How to make Verizon aware of poor coverage area

    I live in a relatively densely populated suburban community and yet we have very POOR service coverage in our neighborhood.  I remember the days of frequently dropped calls.  But now I am accustomed to never dropping a call.  But lately, and it does seem like a recent phenomenon, I drop every call upon entering my neighborhood.  So, how can I make Verizon aware of this service frustration?  I am certain that others are equally frustrated with this experience and will be considering other carriers if something doesn't change. 

        Thanks for the details, @walanlove. I checked out the 28105 area and don't see any recent changes have been made or a slew of customers reporting trouble, but it is a fairly big zipcode. You mentioned this only happens when entering your neighborhood. What's a nearby cross street we can take a closer look at? I do see customers in the 28105 area have activated Network Extenders http://vz.to/IHRT6h to improve indoor coverage. This can help with dropped calls at your home.

  • Needed: Programmer font with great Unicode coverage

    Subject line says it all: I need a font that:
    1) is excellent for source code files (especially Java, obviously)
    2) has glyphs for most Unicode characters (specifically, the first 65,536 ones, that is the [Basic Multilingual Plane|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basic_Multilingual_Plane#Basic_Multilingual_Plane])
    It would be most excellent if the font is truly free and available on all major platforms.
    Here are the minimal requirements for a good programming font:
    1) monospaced
    2) extremely readable, even at small font sizes
    3) all unique characters are readily distinguishable, especially in the Basic Latin subset usually used in source code. In particular:
         a) o, O, and 0 (with zero preferably having a slash thru it, or at least a dot inside it)
         b) l, 1, I, | (ells, ones, capital eyes and vertical bar; and | shouldn't look like ! with a signle white pixel but must be more distinguishable)
         c) clear punctuation characters, especially braces, parenthesis and brackets
    4) proper sizing and alignment. In particular:
         a) operator symbols: * should not be raised relative to +/-; the same is true of ~; all these should align with =
         b) % should be cap height
         c) ", &, and ' should be straight, not angled or curved
         d) & must not become gray when antialiased at small ppm
         e) - must not be too short; en-dashes aren't typically used in programming
         f) bracketing chars have to align reasonably with both lower case and capitals.
         g) glyphs should not draw outside their metric bounds
         h) underscore must be at the baseline instead of hanging beneath, which most fonts wrongly choose and make words jarringly ugly
    I did some web searching before doing this posting, and was frustrated by what I found.
    There are many alleged programmer fonts
    [http://keithdevens.com/wiki/ProgrammerFonts]
    [http://www.advogato.org/article/867.html]

    but all look like they have poor unicode coverage.

    [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unicode_fonts#List_of_Unicode_fonts]
    [http://www.math.utah.edu/~beebe/fonts/unicode.html#fonts]
    but most are not monospaced or have poor coverage or are not free. For instance, these monospaced fonts lack Chinese unicode coverage:
    [http://www.gnu.org/software/freefont/]
    [http://www.evertype.com/emono/]
    and these monospaced fonts (which appear to have even Chinese unicode coverage) are not free:
    [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andale_Mono#Andale_Mono_WT]
    [Ascender UniDuo|http://www.ascendercorp.com/fonts/multilingual/ascender-uni/ ]
    [This posting|http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg17127.html] alleges
    "There is no free monospaced font covering Unicode"
    Please prove him wrong by showing me a font that has what we all need!

    [This stackoverflow.com question|http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4689/recommended-fonts-for-programming] has some pretty good points.
    Regarding the Unicode coverage: I doubt that you'll find a good bitmap font there, as it's simply too much.
    But then again, a reasonable font rendering framework will substitute the font for a similar one if some glyph can't be rendered in the chosen font (at least fontconfig/GTK+ on Linux does that).

  • WCS - coverage hole alert

    Hi forum,
    I am constantly getting the below coverage hole alert, the AP is used to cover a warehouse area, sometimes the users will carry their notebook out of the warehouse and back in. The radio frequency is set to auto. What could be the cause of this issue?
    Thank you,
    PN
    ======================================
    An Alert of Category Coverage Hole is generated with severity 3 by Radio KM3_Ship_AP01/1 .
    The message of the alert is AP 'KM3_Ship_AP01', interface '802.11b/g' on Controller '10.16.14.3'. Coverage threshold of '12' violated. Total no of clients is '3' and no of failed clients is '2'. Worst signal quality experienced by client='00:19:7d:1e:41:f3' RSSI='-65' dBm SNR='-116', client='00:19:7d:18:12:d6' RSSI='-68' dBm SNR='-65'..

    Hi Paul,
    If you have users walking out of the Warehouse I would expect you to see these alerts. Here is some info on what causes the "Coverage Hole" alerts;
    Coverage Hole Detection and Correction
    If clients on a lightweight access point are detected at signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) levels that are lower than the thresholds specified in the Auto RF configuration, the access point sends a "coverage hole" alert to the controller. The alert indicates the existence of an area where clients are continually experiencing poor signal coverage, without having a viable access point to which to roam.
    The Coverage Hole Detection and Correction algorithm is primarily aimed at the determination of coverage holes based on the quality of client signal levels.
    The algorithm determines if a coverage hole exists when the clients' SNR levels pass below a given SNR threshold. The SNR threshold is considered on an individual AP basis and is based primarily on each AP's transmit power level. The higher the AP power levels, the more noise the APs tolerate as compared to the client signal strength, which means a lower tolerated SNR value.
    This SNR threshold varies based on two values: the AP transmit power and the controller Coverage profile value. The threshold is defined by the transmit power (represented in dBm) of each AP, minus the constant value of 17dBm, minus the user-configurable Coverage profile value. The Coverage value is defaulted to 12 dB. The client SNR threshold value is the absolute value, or the positive number, that results from this equation:
    Coverage Hole SNR Threshold Equation:
    Client SNR Cutoff Value (|dB|) = [AP Transmit Power (dBm) ? Constant (17 dBm) ? Coverage Profile (dB)]
    Once the average SNR of a single client dips below this SNR threshold for at least 60 seconds, the AP transmit power of that client is increased to the appropriate level in order to mitigate the SNR violation, and correct the coverage hole. Only one client need violate this threshold in order to trigger a correction.
    Each controller runs the Coverage Hole Detection and Correction algorithm for each radio on each of its APs every three minutes. The default value of 180 seconds can be changed, as described in the Monitor Intervals (60 to 3600 secs) section of this document.
    From this doc;
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk722/tk809/technologies_tech_note09186a008072c759.shtml#coverage_correction
    The Coverage Hole SNR Threshold Equation:
    Client SNR Cutoff Value (|dB|) = [AP Transmit Power (dBm) ? Constant (17 dBm) ? Coverage Profile (dB)]
    Note: This equation represents a situation where a client experience signal issues in a poorly covered area of a floor.
    In such a scenario, these items can be true:
    A client has an SNR of 13dB.
    The AP to which it is connected is configured to transmit at 11 dBm (power level 4).
    This AP WLC has a Coverage profile threshold set to the default of 12 dB.
    In order to determine if the client AP must be powered up, the numbers detailed are plugged into the Coverage Hole Threshold Equation. This is the result:
    Client SNR cutoff = 11dBm (AP transmit power) ? 17dBm (constant value) ? 12dB (Coverage threshold) = |-18dB|.
    Because a client SNR of 13dB is in violation of the present SNR cutoff of 18dB, the Coverage Hole Detection and Correction algorithm increase the AP transmit power to 17dBm.
    When you use the Coverage Hole SNR Threshold Equation, it is evident that the new transmit power of 17dBm yields a Client SNR cutoff value of 12dB, which satisfies the client SNR level of 13 dBm.
    This is the math for Step 3:
    Client SNR cutoff = 17dBm (AP transmit power) ? 17dBm (constant value) ? 12dB (Coverage threshold) = |-12dB|.
