You heard me right. Let me lay out some geography for a better understanding of my situation.
We have towns A, B, and C.
Town A and C are about 15mi apart. Town B is right in between them.
I live in town B. I work in town C.
Town A got 4g coverage last week. Town B is close enough that it got coverage, too.
So, since I live in town B, that means I have a 4g connection at home. This is neat, but doesn't really do me much good since I'm on WiFi when I'm at home. What I want most is to have it while I'm at work. Unfortunately, the day it was enabled, I was watching my phone as I drove to work as the the bars slowly dropped one by one. The last bar dropped and it switched back to 3g less than a quarter mile away from where I work. While sitting at work, the phone will try to latch onto it once it a while, but it never actually gets a connection.
Now here's where it gets weird. The other night, I was talking to a friend over the phone. When I looked down at my Bionic, I noticed that I suddenly had a 4g connection and it was 4 bars. I was thinking, "Sweet! They must have recently rigged some towers nearby." I opened up my browser and sure enough, I had an active 4g connection. However, as soon as I got off the phone, the signal dropped and it switched back to 3g again.
This is where I stand now. I don't know why, but for some reason, whenever I am on a call, I have a strong 4g connection in a place where I would otherwise not have one at all. I don't know what is going on in the phone that is making this possible, but it's happening.
Does anyone have an explanation for this?
