I wish I could figure that out. It has frozen more than half of the time immediately after I connected on a phone call, but a number of times just with random usage... I started to think it was related to Bluetooth. Today after it froze on a phone call, I forced it to power cycle and it would...

Unfortunately, this doesn't seem to help. I tried multiple times to reload the software, with full wipe and reinstall apps manually. This is a very bad software defect with Moto Z Nougat, that not everyone has triggered yet depending on your apps, usage, etc...

There is definitely a problem with the Moto Z Nougat release. Never had a freeze before the update. After the update had 4-5 freezes a day, where I had to hold power button down to restart. I bit the bullet and completely wiped the phone and reloaded Nougat using the Verizon software update...

I have an S3 and have been anxiously waiting to change over to the Note 2. Ironically, it is a feature on the S3 that I didn't even know about initially that is probably going to have me pass on the N2. I didn't even know about SVDO (Simultaneous voice and EVDO data) before I bought the S3...

MX has been my favorite.

I'll take a screen shot when I am in range of LTE next time. When I look at the signal strength it just shows dBm and a value for asu (not sure what asu stands for). It does also indicate mobile network type in a separate field.

So when you go into settings and see the dBm reading is it pertaining to voice or data? Thanks

Good article. Thanks for the link. On the web page they showed a screen shot from a phone which specifies that the measurement is RSRP. On the Sprint GS3 it is only showing dBm generically. So maybe I am getting concerned over nothing... I am still confused as to voice vs data. Since they...

I am not sure that the dBm reading in the settings menu is specific to LTE or 3G EVDO as opposed to the general signal for voice. Do you know if this is the case? When I am in my house running on Wifi and a femto cell for voice the system reports a dBm measurement that seems to pertain to the...

That is possible. I was perhaps mistakenly assuming that the LTE data connectivity and the link to the tower for voice were independent. This means that the system may connect you to a more distant tower for LTE service at the expense of your voice signal and battery. I really wish they had a...

Almeuit, Thanks for your response, but I think you misunderstood my post. I am taking the measurements in the same exact spot. I am taking the readings with LTE enabled and LTE disabled. With LTE enabled I am seeing much lower signal readings (bars and reported dBm) from the same exact location.

I am in the Atlanta area where Sprint has started to provide sporadic LTE service. Over the past few days I have noticed something strange. When I am in LTE/CDMA mode instead of CDMA only I seem to be getting weaker voice signal. I have noticed this more outdoors. This is not conclusive, but...

Opera has been my favorite browser and it happens to support the reflowing of text

Everyone thanks for your posts. I have overcome my fear and put the Epic 4G out to pasture. ;-) I picked up the SGS3 today and the display is very nice. I am manually toggling control of the brightness with a widget. I will definitely be looking into a ROM that has the automatic brightness...

Thanks. At 50% can you see outdoors well?
