Sprint and Pixel 3a
« on: January 17, 2020, 01:18:13 PM »
Since I got the 3a some 8-9 months ago, data drops regularly.  Some 40%-50% of my efforts to go online fail, and I see the x on the data symbol regularly.  Getting LTE on four bars is a rarity.   I reboot, update PRL, etc. with no lasting help.  Sprint does not know what to do and Google says its not the phone.  This is in the NYC area.  I have no time or energy to find a Sprint repair center, have them fatz around for an hour doing what I did, and tell me I am good. Prior to the 3a, my Samsung 7 was fine (reasonably), so I am thinking its the phone.  Any suggestions?  Thanks.

Have you tried swapping the sim? I've had similar problem with Verizon, swapping the sim worked wonders.

I'm just curious where did you buy your phone from? Was it new?

From Google, new.  And VM takes a day to comeup.


I should try a new sim.  Someone mentioned that.  Will Sprint give me a new one for the ask.

Don't think my wife has had any issues here in Chicago.
