4G and 3G

How reliable are the connections? I had issues with my old Fascinate and I was wondering if the newer devices had the same issue?

I came from a Fascinate too with alot of date connection issues and since the EE4 update I have not had any on my Charge, it just works which is something I couldnt say about the Fascinate!!

i have already had a few incidents where my data isn't working even though it says i have connection. a reboot fixes that.

To put it simply, in many areas (even those where Verizon maps claim there is 4G coverage), 3G only phones work and 4G phones frequently don't. Just today I had 3 different instances of not being able to connect to any service because of a total lack of data. My wife's 3G phone right next to me? Not a single problem. Yeah, you can reboot, you can go in & out of airplane mode, but that doesn't fix it for very long. More importantly WHY do we need to do this for a $300 phone. Absurd.

There is no way I could, in good conscience, recommend a 4G phone on VZW. No way, no how.

I should clarify that I am in a 3g only area so maybe thats why I have avoided this data connection bug

Well, I thought maybe it was leftover from the LTE problems they were having earlier in the month, but as it turns out it was a hardware issue with the phone. LTE has worked like a champ since getting my charge.
