Unlimited Data Users

Bsmith0731 · May 30, 2014

I am a heavy data user on Verizon.

Either my Note 3 just has a horrible connection which I dont doubt that it deserves some of the blame or Verizon Throttles me.

I'm talking about 50-70 gig a month usually.

Does any other unlimited data users see their speeds below 1 mbps while connected 4G?

Its horrible.

Not on download, I did see it on upload the first few days of xlte.

But, my typical usage is 8 or so GB/month

Doubt it's the Note but since I've been on the nc2 I notice I lose connection and speed. Look at the pic and see the red bars. Some days I have a bunch of them.

I have not had a single problem with cell service since I switched to VZ years ago until just lately.

Lately, half the time I try to text I get a "no network connection" error (I have UL Data)

Today, I got cut off on a call smack in my home area and the phone said "you are out of your coverage area" WTF??

I have had more dropping 4G in the middle of my coverage area than ever with the note . My Rezound never dropped data .

It's gotta be a Samsung Verizon combo. I had the same horrible coverage with my Galaxy Nexus. I had a Note 2 on ATT and it was perfect.

I'm currently using a note 2 with unlimited data and not seeing any problems .. I'm going to add a second line with a note 3 it's priced at $200 with 2/yr contract, could it be the nc2 build you guys are using? Has anybody tried the nc4 KK and had problems?

When I mean nc4 I mean this rom with nc4 modifed for note 3

my signal in and around my area has been below par for the last few months. My real problem has been when I leave the area (usually the county for some strange reason) everything was fine except for making calls. When i would push send it would tell me my number is either inactive or invalid. Battled for over a month with Verizon on the issue and called them out on several occasions about them "doing something funny" to my line because I have unlimited data. went through a few replacement devices and nothing changed. Finally told them it didnt matter any more because I was gonna go to AT&T and now I can call anywhere when I travel! On the other hand my service at home is below par now but still works.

I average around 40-45gb of data a month now without tethering and have never noticed any throttling or significant drop in speeds.

For what its worth I had to go all the way back to the MJ7 radio. Both NC2 and MJE caused terrible drops and no service.

So with MJ7 everything is fine, data and calls? How's battery life?

Yea so far so good. Data and calls have been much more reliable. I have normal spots where I lose service around where I work, which has always been the case. However on MJE and NC2 it would last wayyyyy longer and be way worse as far as service coming back.

Battery life has been just as good as well. Haven't noticed any change to be honest.

Xlte is not available in my area so I'm not too sure if it does at all.

I just know the service was so horrendous on the new radios I had almost no choice but to go back.

Besides modems can we flash new or old PRLS at the same time or separate on note 3 for Verizon? I got new PRL in different town and where I live it makes service suck ass. Need my old PRL back and want to do it myself!

That is tricky you can try booting without the SIM then rebooting after putting it back there are tools to do it manually too but getting the prl image is another matter. Another method is to get a new SIM but Verizon pushes the prl to it so you don't get to pick. You can also try going to an official store they can manually flag you for prl push.

I had a Note 2 on verizon and it was flawless...then Note 3 is a downgrade in signal strength. However Verizon all together has gone downhill over the last year. I went from 15-25mb down here at home to 2-6mb depending how congested the network is. Need a tower update around here.
