why does the atrix have such a hard time switching from H+ to EDGE?

[dvigue]

i have spotty 3g in my area, so my phone is switching between EDGE and 3g allot. for what ever reason, it completely looses signal to switch over. i have had many cell/smart phones and all the other ones switch over without loosing signal. it is really getting annoying, but i love my atrix. what is the issue? i STILL have not found a way to disable 3g and just use EDGE...4636 does not stay.

the other thing i have not called and switched my plan to the 4g plan yet, i have a BB also and i am still on a BB data plan. i DO get h+ on my phone, so by getting the 4g plan, will this stop this signal loss from happening? as i said, i could care if i had 3g, im fine with EDGE since im on wifi.

any help/advice would be greatly appreciated..

thanks!

There is no 4g plan since its not 4g. Its still a 3g network so if u have a 3g plan then you are on the fastest that att has to offer. Their 4g claims are a farce

try a new sim card if your card is over 6months old. when i select gms only in that service menu it disconnects from the network for a few seconds then locks on edge and stays on edge

I have this same problem too on a regular 3g data plan so I don't think it's bb related. it bothers the crap out of me

Really....humming....I am using my micro sim from my iPhone with the sim adapter....maybe a trip to AT&T for a new sim is in order

My iPhone 3GS had this problem, my Atrix does too, but it's not nearly as bad about it.
