thunderbolt and 4g extended area

---

I am in a "4g extended area" where it constantly drops to 3g and constantly goes in and out. My battery is draining by increments of like 10% per hour while I am not using my phone. I am currently using the tesla 1.5 rom. Is there a possibility there is an issue with my sim card for this issue or just straight up a problem in verizons network? When I leave wifi on the battery doesnt constantly drain on standby any tips would be appreciated thanks

Try the LTE OnOff app on the market. Setting it to CDMA auto (prl) might help in spotty 4G coverage.

If you're not in a good 4G area your battery will die very fast because the radio's are constantly searching and switching back and forth between 3G and 4G, you should either use LTE mode to try and lock on LTE only or turn LTE off completely and use CDMA Auto.

Same problem here as you. stuck in the grey area at home.

I would rather be in s grey area like you than nothing where I am.

I know your pain... I'm exactly 1/2 a mile from the 4G coverage area... im in the "Extended 4G area" and i'll be lucky if I get 3G on this phone let alone 4G... I have to use wifi to get data out there. Which is kinda annoying beacuse if I go to the local grocery store ( 1/2 a mile away ) I get blazing 4G ...

This NEVER happened with my DX or Fascinate... they were both on perfect 3G data.

Hopefully Big Red will "Turn up the volume" and get better signal to those of us on the outskirts of the Main 4G areas.
