Switched from iphone and LOVE the S4... but I'm very sad that I might simply have to drop it.
The performance of the phone seems to be ok everywhere but where I am the most and need it the most... work. The signal switches constantly between 4G, 3G, and Roaming, each with NO BARS... LOL... I can walk outside the building and the bars go to half. Also, the WIFI is strong, but it doesn't make a difference because it drops out and reconnects perpetually every three to 10 seconds or so. That should be perfectly fine inside. Cannot send emails; they fail. Sprint's service and performance have always been described as inferior, but I didn't think it would be to the point of being unusable.
My iphone with At&t stayed at least half bars and steady WIFI at work. Half to full bars inside or out.
Is it most likely the S4, or the carrier that is the problem here? I know I definitely don't want to go back to the iphone, and I really don't want to go back to At&t who is sky high and lacks unlimited data. However, I would go back to At&t if it would solve the problem, but if the S4 is the problem, then switching carriers won't matter. Also, if the S4 is the problem, then some updates or something down the road may improve the situation and I can stay with Sprint.
But I only have two more days to decide... don't know what to do.
