Re: Are you having trouble staying in 3G (getting stuck in 1X), VZW TP2 folks?

What they said ( whether its true or not ) is that voice doesn't use the 3G network because it doesn't need to waste that bandwith and the phone is PROPERLY showing you the 1X. I of course don't believe this because my voice calls right now sound like crap and my TP1 is working much better in the same house. As well as my fiance's Omnia and our sons Moto Q.
I had a girl try to convince me of the same thing. She insisted that 1X was only a hair slower than 3G and that it doesn't really matter..... okay lady.

It is true that voice and text messages only use 1X, so that is normal when that happens. Constantly staying in 1X when you're in a 3G area, surfing the web, etc... is NOT normal.
