Sprint service has been terrible the last few weeks

Is it me, my phone, or is it really network issues. I use to have a full signal at work and home. Now I'm lucky to have a single bar. It's been this way for a few weeks now. "No connection" messages in my gmail account is becoming annoying. Same with text messages not going through, or very slow to.

I've had problems for months. Mainly with 3g (internet) usage. They claimed they had 3g issues here and where working on them. That was over a month ago....

Re: Sprint service has been terrible the last few weeks

So yesterday after posting this, the phone got so hot from the combination of analog and charging that it decided to flash green orange and then not boot anymore. Had to take it to Sprint Repair and get it fixed. Sitting here at work with one bar and roaming....we'll see if it happens again.

Re: Sprint service has been terrible the last few weeks

I have the same issue. Also, data speeds (both 4G and 3G) are terrible when I can actually find a decent connection and not roaming. Frustrating!

Re: Sprint service has been terrible the last few weeks

I just got 1.69Mb/s down and .6 Mb/s up from 3G, that's not cool.

4G just got 1.08 down and .75 up.

My clear just got 1.5Mb/s a sec down. Somethings up with the network for sure. I hit 11.5Mb/s down yesterday.

Re: Sprint service has been terrible the last few weeks

Today shows some improvement...no 3G signal, but I do have 5 bars on my EVO. Up until this point it has been one to none. No roaming symbol. Phone is a little warm, but not hot like it has been.

Lucky you. I still have terrible service. Hopefully they get it fixed soon out here.

Re: Sprint service has been terrible the last few weeks

Same story everywhere I guess, I've been having crappy signal and speed for some time, been hearing it will be fixed soon story too. I was told by sprint that there was an outage going on since May, hell when I last called they told me that the techs would have it fixed and that was a month ago. The funniest part was when a tech told me to put my phone back to factory that it would fix everything, I told him that's bullshit and I'm not doing it.

@CripledCyclone
