First experience w/ the phone in the rain, and it sucks

[nikeairs23]

I couldn't even complete a google search this morning. On 3g or 4g. What gives?

Maybe network problems 2 friends & I were unable to send / receive mms early this morning

Dunno what to tell you. The rain may be wreaking havoc on your nearest cell tower. It's raining here this morning as well and my data is fine. Then again, when it rains here in San Diego its practically apocalypse so I'm used to the rain causing problems (mostly nutso drivers).

I'm in Long Beach. It was really frustrating. I just turned it off.

I live in Oregon and have never had extreme problems with rain. It might seem like it slows my 3G connection, but it has never killed my connection completely.

I was in Florida a couple of weeks ago and it rained quite a bit. I didn't have any issues with my phone. I didn't look at the signal strength. Maybe I was closer to a tower.

I'm in Seattle with plenty of rain in the forecast today and the data had no issues.

The problem with you phone is that it has a very poorly built antenna..Anyone that is having problems with connectivity is having those problems because the phone is not connecting to towers right away..Its a poor and slow phone when dealing with anything having to use the internet.

For some. Not for me, and many others.

E4GT + Sprint in certain areas = win

E4GT + Sprint in certain areas = fail

Understand?

I respect your campaign to get Samsung and Sprint to do something about the problem this phone is having with voice and data signals in SOME areas, but please stop making it sound like this is a problem for everyone. I know that hurts your campaign, but let's be fair here.

Seriously it's not that bad, for you to post signal everytime! Otherwise you'd be dating "photon" Lol You really like the phone & are disappointed that your having a few signal issues, however the phones other qualities including signal are so powerful, sexy, untouchable, & unmatched by any other device right now that you can't bring yourself to use that unattractive Photon even if it doesn't ever drop under full bars! Lol you know you love Sgs2 so much you'll sacrifice that signall. Again your in love with sgs2, but you can't figure out how? & it hasn't even been 30 day yet?

Long story short" you love this phone", it's got you sprung, so stop complaining about your marriage partner "sgs2" & wait for some counseling "update"!!!

The antenna is built fine, it is on the bottom of the phone. Your holding it wrong.

I have to strongly disagree. Where I live in M A, Sprints internet speeds are up and down but the ET4G has the same speeds / signal strength on 3G, 4G and WIFI as an Epic 4G and an EVO 4G which are all in our family. The phone dBm levels are a bit lower but I haven't lost any calls, run into any issues with any static, etc.
