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.

  • 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…

  • 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.

  • Data objects in a Unicode program are not convertible?what does this mean?

    hello,everyone,
    when I execute a smartform directly in the transaction smartforms.,the result can be seen just no data.
    when I execute program to transfer two internal tables from interface with data to the smartforms,and I use tcode st22,
    the error is : Data objects in a Unicode program are not convertible.
    the error analysis; The statement
       "MOVE src TO dst"
    requires the operands "dst" and "src" to be comvertible.
    the source code that error occurs is :LOOP AT I_SHIP_DETAIL INTO WA_DETAIL .
    and I know that the internal table have errors ,I defined the internal table refer to a structure created myself,and I set break-point in the smartforms ,can see the data in the internal table ,so why occurs such errors ,pls help me if you know .thank you in advance.

  • 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.

  • Why is the signal at my home so much weaker than when I moved here in February 2013?  I only get one or two bars and very poor data service if any at all.

    Why is the signal at my home so much weaker than it was when I moved here in February 2013?  I get only one or two bars and very poor data service if any at all.  Calling to ask the question results in a vortex of questions that have little to do with the problem and no  resolution or answer.

    I have a Droid Ultra phone.  The signal reduction seems to only be in the general area of my home.  If I go downtown, the signal improves to what it once was at home.  Everything at my home is as it was when the signal was good, including cable TV service.  There has been no new construction in the area that I know of.
    Thanks for trying to resolve the issue.  Just this morning while trying to view web pages, I found that I could not load any.

  • Outdoor High-Density/Mixed Environment Cisco AP/Antenna Choices for Data Coverage

    We are looking to upgrade our non production use wireless network, which is for providing users typical internet data services. We don't have any wireless engineers on our team, we are primary wired networking guys. We are upgrading our wireless network, because we have a lot more user joining and our AP's in place have too high a client count which has diminsed throughput speeds for our customers. We have two seperate areas that provide this coverage, and both of them are under 1sq mile in size (one is 417,000 sq ft in size/280 estimate users and the other is 590,000 sq ft in size/700-800 users estimate). The environment is rugged (hot/humid/sandy), but flat. The users occupy pods/trailers/tents, so no structure is higher than 15ft.
    Within the last year, more users are bringing in smart devices for data services, so our our network is a hybrid network now with a higher-density of users, and 802.11n AP's appear better equipped to handle this kind of load. We currently have a mixture of 1142AP's in side and 1252/1262 AP's outside place in NEMA enclosures, which are tied to two 3560/3750 PoE switches at each location. We don't have enough AP's in place to handle the additional client load to provide suitable data throughput speeds for typical internet data services, and are looking at possibly revamping the whole wireless network with different gear.
    We are looking at possibly removing all previous AP's, and putting in place Cisco 1552e AP's (AIR-CAP1552E-A-K9) in both areas, using 3 Cisco dual antennas (AIR-ANT2547V-N) per AP's. We've seen an excel doc floating around on the web to help plan for how many AP's we might need, but the minimum area size for the excel spreasheet calculator is 1sq mile, which is a lot more than what we are looking at for each area. We've attempted to use the WCS in planning mode to map out how many 1552e AP's we need for each area (with our maps we created using Google Maps, and fairly accurate), and reviewed the heat signatures created and it appears the AP count is too high. We got around 20 AP's for one area and 33-35 AP's in the other area, which seems very high. We are looking at mounting the 1552e AP's to poles in each area at a height of around 12-15ft.
    We don't know what the client load a 1552e AP can handle, for providing throughput speeds of 1.5Mbps to 5Mbps, to gauge how many AP's we really need, and whether going for using strictly 1552e AP's is the way too go. The 1552e AP's are geared for MESH networks, which is very different from what we have now. Can we set-up the 1552e AP's as stand alones? Do we have to use a different antenna for whatever AP is going to be the RAP? We are looking at using Power Injectors to provide power to the AP's.
    Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

    That setup is your best bet. What you have to look at is the number of hops. I would typically don't have more than two hops. That is map to map to rap. Remember that the 5ghz is your backhaul and you are basically daisy chaining your mesh. What you need is to make sure your 5ghz can link IP with a good backhaul speed. The 2.4ghz will of course cover more area so when you place these mesh AP's, make sure your backhaul has coverage to meet your backhaul requirements. Antennas will be the same for a map or rap. You will need a WLC to actually do mesh and it would be better that way. Even though you can get an autonomous version, it would be a dumb ap per say. Stick with mesh and a WLC and you should be fine.

  • Itunes was unable to load provider data from sync services. What is this?

    When I sync my iphone 3G with itunes, I get message as follows.
    itunes was unable to load provider data from sync services.
    What is this?

    I had nearly the same problem. I am also a user of UltraEdit from IDM Computer Solutions. Are you? My problem was fixed by adjusting to remove a conflict between the two. (both use same-named DLL but different versions.) If this sounds like your issue, post here and I'll reply with more detail.

    No, I get my mail on my computer, not on a website. I used to be able to see the information but in sorting another issue I must have changed a setting or something. I have gone to View. Under Message Attributes most things are ticked but many of them are not bold print i.e. they are pale grey. I don't know how to activate them again.

    It took me some time to figure what you are trying to do but I think I have it now.
    The SR is still required.
    What is happening is your "Bundle By Name" is replacing all of the fields of the cluster, not just the value coming out of the case structure. So to maintain the cluster stuff you do in earlier iterations you can either...
    1) Put the "Index array, Bundle by name, and Replace array" inside the case structure and ONLY bundle the value you are setting in that iteration. (as you will see Tim post shortly)
    OR
    2) Move the Index array before the Case, unbundle all of the fields and feed teh case structure and run them across the case so that ALL of your output tunnels come from the coresponding input tunnel EXCEPT for the filed you are trying to set.

  • GR document and posting date issue for initial stock upload are overidden

    Hi all
    Loading initial stock into the system using standard idoc message type MBGMCR and basic type MBGMCR02.
    We are trying to post the intial stock upload with posting and document dates in past with this idoc. The Idoc is accepted with these dates but while posting the system is overiding these dates and posting the document with system date. Any clue as to what is happening?
    Regards,
    Amit

    Hi Jurgen
    I am aware about the posting being possible till the last period.
    But the system over-riding the posting and document dates in the IDoc even if I chose previos day's date in the current period. The dates in the IDoc are correct to be in the past. The IDoc is accepted by the system with the document and posting dates in the past.
    But dates in the document after posting are system dates. Very unsual. Please let me know the reasons.
    Thanks for the reply.
    Cheers,
