Help 3g - 1x?

[EKG]

My phone will often display having 3 or 4 bars of 3G service...then when I try to get on the internet, it will drop to 2 bars of 1x...then a little after I get off the internet, it will go back up to the 3g! Any ideas what the problem might be?

You're holding it wrong!

J/K... I would like to know this as well. What works for me is turning airplane mode on then back off.
