Anyone else having reception/signal issues?

---

I just got my phone yesterday and noticed it today at work. With my og EVO I would consistantly get 3 bars at work and with the EVO 4g LTE I am getting 0-1 bar and roaming a lot which is killing my battery as well. Is the antenna is this EVO not as strong as the og EVO? This is a pretty big problem because I use my phone all the time at work. Iv tried updating my profile and prl and have done a couple resets. I don't want to return this phone but I may have to

No idea how it compares to og Evo, I have since had 2 other phones plus this one.
But I wouldn't call the reception weak.

You can try and do what I do - force roaming with an app like Roam Control. This way you may have a better signal and good battery life.

For me, the signal strength is pretty much exactly like my Original Evo. The wireless actually working on the other hand is not.

My signal is aweful compared to my og EVO. Right now my signal is -105dbm

Strange. My signal is 2-3 bars better than my OG...

I'm having issues with 3g staying connected. I'll lose it turn the radios off and turn back on. It days connecting that's it. I have to reboot to get data working. Updated profile and prl but wats odd is that it always updates and never tells me that I have the recent prl. Any ideas? It's really pissing me off!

I thought it was the weather but yea. My og seems to pick up signal in remote places better.

Yes it is a known fact that the antennas in the new EVO are less efficient than the original EVO. Someone compared the FCC docs but I don't remember the difference. I think it was 2db difference.

Thanks for the info. Looks like ill be returning my EVO today sprints coverage where I work isnt the greatest to begin with and with a weaker antenna makes the phone almost unusable. Come on HTC and sprint, if your going to charge 200 for this phone at least put a decent antenna in it so I can do the basics like calling and emails.

I'll be sitting in one spot and my 3g will drop and the. Come back . It's kind of annoying
