Stop me from jumping....

I just sold my HTC Rezound and got my Razr Maxx from someone locally only about 5 days ago. In short, I miss my Rezound.

Before anyone jumps down my throat, let me explain. I am basing this solely off my experience at work where I spend 40+ hours of my week. Other than that, I really like this phone and want it to work out for me.

In my office here at work, I have always had bad reception with Verizon, regardless of the phone. It's just the way that this building is and the fact that there isn't a Verizon tower close enough to get good reception. Supposedly they are going to install a Verizon tower in our parking lot, but who knows when or if that will really happen.

With that being said, my Rezound held 4G for most of the day, albeit barely. But it did for most of my day and when it dropped 4G, the transition to 3G was pretty seamless.

With my Maxx, I am having major problems holding 4G or connectivity at all several times throughout my work day. If I open the Play Store or apps like Facebook, it will say no connection even when the 4G icon is visible. Then it will turn white at times too.

To its credit, I get good reception outside of work and at home which is true for every Verizon phone that I have owned (Incredible, Thunderbolt, Charge, Rezound).

So what gives? Without going back to a Rezound, what are my other options? The Nexus is much worse in this department correct?

Any advice would help, thanks!
 
Probably not the solution you want to here, but put your phone on 3g only while at work. The signal will hold much better. Im in the same situation, it makes my battery last 10x longer and it isn't continually trying to search for a signal. Also apps perform normally without failed connections. You could probably set up a smart action for when you go into work put in 3g mode automatically and when you leave switch back to 4g.
