Sprint has bad signal where I live. Im dropping calls a lot. On automatic mode my phone will rather choose a VERY CRAPPY sprint signal over the verizon 5 bar signal that is available here at my house. I wish I could change my phone so it will automatically pick the roaming tower if the home tower is starting to get week. Sprint tryes so hard to stay connected to its home tower that its givving sprint a bad reputation for having bad reception and dropped calls in much of Hawaii. This bad reputation is not necessary because where sprint fades out verizon is there.
Its not just at home I have this problem its any where sprint signal is week. Here In the Big Island Of Hawaii Verizon has better further reaching signal then sprint in out lying areas. I get none evdo when roaming that some times causes me to change to home only because a crappy evdo signal is faster then a strong none evdo (roam) signal at my house.
