Something about this phone is getting on my nerves?

LTE/3G are going back and forth if not altogether dropping, constantly.

For some reason, the entire display sometimes just locks up for me whenever I click a button that uses the internet. For example when logging into iCloud, it locked up for a solid minute. When triggering a dropbox sync, it locked up again.

Plus the screen seems to be missing finger press registrations. While I am typing I continually keep missing keys. :confused:

Anybody having similar issues? I'm not trying to be a dick about everything, just genuinely would like to know if anybody is having a similar fate.
 
When I go to my basement (which really is the first story, its a Ranch), LTE totally dies out and I have absolutely no Internet connection. 3G doesn't go back on, it just shows the little circle.

You live on a ranch in the basement? No wonder LTE isn't working. :p

The means is roaming, Idk but my screen froze twice and my lte speeds are slow at the moment, I hope Google updates their YouTube app cause those black bar kills it too

This is what happens when people buy before they try it out in the store first!!! People always assume since it is new it will work the way they want it to.

Assume it should work? God forbid I'm sorry, I thought the point of this being a consumer item is that it does work...
 
You have TWO threads on this issue.

LTE uses a different spectrum than 3G. It does not penetrate buildings as well as 3G. Second, you are in your basement. It's going to be weak to begin with. I never have been able to maintain 4G in my basement.

You are wrong, Verizon's LTE spectrum penetrates buildings better than their CDMA spectrum. Look up the facts before you spread ********.

Alright, come on. Enough, let's just stick to the point of this thread. No reason to troll.

OP: Did you try a hard reset?
