    Unusable signal in congested areas.

    Following up on this, I continue to have problems at any place where there's more than, say... a 100 people around me. However, I found that if I set my phone from "Automatic" to "2g", disable data, disable roaming data I can text and make phone calls as normal. I tested this in a heavily...

    Unusable signal in congested areas.

    I'm again having problems, but I think I've isolated the problem. When network type is set to automatic (4g), I couldn't receive texts today. But when I switched to 2g, after a few minutes the texts poured in. There's a thread on reddit with another person who has the same problem, and other...

    If I was trolling, I wouldn't have taken the time to detail out my experience. One of the nice things about forums in general is that people are able to share experiences. Thus, someone could come along and say "Hey, I had a similar experience and it was because of xyz... maybe you should try...

    So if I change the title of the thread, will that get me closer to figuring out if it's a phone issue or tower issue?
