Signal strength randomally dropping
FaintlyThere
Newbie

     I currently own a Moto X (2nd Gen) in and around the Walhalla, SC area (29691 zip). Lately I have noticed that my phone has been losing signal strength in areas where it originally had great signal strength. I thought it was just my phone personally until my girlfriend pointed out that she is having the same problem, she owns an Apple 6 plus. With that said I was wondering if there was work being done on a tower near our area (I believe our town signal comes from the Seneca, SC Location, 29672 zip) or if it's an internal problem possible with our sim cards that we need to replace?

We always strive for our customers to have the best service experience. I appreciate you reaching out in regards to this coverage concern. Let's dive in to see what's going on. How long has this been happening? Are those the only two locations that you have service issues at? Does this happen indoors/outdoors? We look forward to hearing from you.

Good morning,

Unfortunately no, I have been experiencing it both indoor and outdoor

(mainly outdoors since I use WiFi inside). I have recently travelled to

Florida and didn't seem to experience much trouble with signal strength but

at the same time I was near the beach and don't know how strong the

coverage is there. Other than that trip I've stayed locally (within a 15

Mile radius) and noticed the service randomly dropping from 3g to 4g. Even

currently as I reply to this email on my device it's showing two bars of 4G

service but no indicator arrows that data is being sent or received (arrows

under the 4G icon). I'm not sure what other information I can give but let

me know if there is any suggestions

My phone is currently running Android 5.1 which is the latest I think

that's been released for my phone. I would do a sim card pull but my phone

requires a special toppling to pop open the slot (moto x 2nd gen)

I live in an older mountain town, as far as I know there hasn't been any

new development in our area, within the limits of Walhalla or neighboring

town of West Union with the exception of the widening of main street but

there wasn't any movements in the line work that I'm aware of. The roadwork

probably spans a mile or two at best but really only involves the removal

of an extended pavement to be used as an additional lane. There was also

some wooded area taken down for a municipal complex in between the town

limits of Walhalla & Seneca but once again no line work has been down

there, just land clearing. other than that there hasn't been anything

happening in our area, at least nothing that I can think of that would

cause a drop in signal strength.

If you need to review my account then my account number is: 324734987-00001.

Let me know if there is any further information I can provide

Thank you
