Help 3G connectivity issues, I'm not alone am I?

glad I could help! I'm not this is the exact fix I'm needing as I still lose 3g often... But it's definitely better than it was. Thinking my speeds just increased rather than lessening my time outs. Back to the drawing board!

Hook it up Saps. Thanks in advance!

wow shame on me.... its this thread
Jbuch84's advice was what I did. I didnt change anything I just backed out. Phone did reset and now since this move Im averaging 1600kbps down from home whereas for the 1st month I had this SF I was averaging 400kpbs from home. Not a big deal, because at home Im on WiFi anyway. I cannot tell if its overall faster because at work I was 1800kpbs+ there too before this maneuver and Im still there.

This thread introduced most of us to the string codes:http://androidforums.com/fascinate-tips-tricks/188072-android_secret_code-string-revealed.html. So when I put in the codes I started with **772 since I have already enabled the hidden menu but yeah then 000000 scrolled down found CDMA home and without making changed merely backed out. Phone reset and I ran both Speedtest and FCC Test and was hitting 1800kbps+/-

Well I cannot prove it for sure but Im getting better 3G speeds than I was a week ago...unless VZW added a tower closer to my home. Its been awhile since I *228. But I am thinking it might have been resetting my string code for CDMA home. Who knows? Im just pleased

I'd hate to be a downer for those who went through the code string, rebooted and got better speeds.

I called Verizon yesterday cause I was having fluctuating signal, the rep took me through all the steps and we didn't change anything. Since then my connection is worse, before I rarely had 1 or 2% in "time without signal". Now I'm always 20% or more without signal.
