Need Feedback on wireless reception

I noticed the reception of the evo 3d is not that good. I can barely ride my bicycle with internet radio playing. Also bluetooth range is less then my motorola droid when connecting to the same devices. Did HTC make a good phone with poor reception capability, or is it sprint that has bad coverage?
I am considering trying a Nexus S since I'm still within the first 30 days of service. Does that phone have better reception?
Thank for your feedback
I would ask in the Nexus S forums...
My EVO 3D gets very poor signal and reception. Much worse than my regular EVO 4G. I noticed this right away as soon as I activated it and wasnt able to get as good of signal in good coverage areas like I could with previous EVO 4G. Its a combination of poor radio performance as well as poor Sprint service. The EVO 3D is definetely not a good "phone" and that's the most important thing to me.
I had to get rid of my Samsung Galaxy S due to poor reception. I then switched to the Optimus P500 and it was great for reception. I recently got the EVO3D and have had no complaints so far on Rogers in Canada, even in the remote Milton areas where it was questionable with the Galaxy.

[Q] Any phone signal problems using GSM with the Evo 3D?

Hi folks,
I don't own an Evo 3D at the moment but I am considering getting one, however one thing I'd like to find out, is if the Evo suffers from a weak phone signal at all? I'm asking as I've gone through 3 Incredible S phones that had issues here at home on the UK O2 network, I don't really want to find myself in the same situation.
Thanks in advance.

From experience, can only speak for the CDMA version of the EVO 3D.
There are many times occasions where I'm in weak signal areas for Sprint and this device, much quicker than my Nexus S, will roam onto another carrier's signal which is stronger. Personally, I think this has been overall positive as I'd rather have a strong roaming signal than a weak native signal.
Some might find this a disadvantage if their cell plan doesn't support roaming or simply prefer not to roam.
The only significant difference I've notice is this device seems to switch signals/networks much quicker than my previous EVO or Nexus S.
Hopefully somebody with the GSM version can also post up. Hope this helps!
I'm using GSM EVO 3D in low signal area. My first phone (Handspring) loosing signal in this are totally, with the second one (Nokia) I can talk in some home areas, with EVO 3D I can talk in most home areas - so at least the GSM EVO 3D sensitivity slightly better than Nokia premium phone (N900).
Thanks for the info so far. I'd very much appreciate some replies from UK users if there are any?

So how is the radio compared to the ET4G (SGII)?

Hi,
I have an Epic touch rooted with CM9 which I love, I really hate that the reception is so terrible on this phone. Much worse than my OG evo.
Any idea if it will do better in fringe areas?
I find I have to toggle airplane mode frequently due to LOS.
Thanks,
RIch
Interesting it says you are in NY, do you have good 3G there or is it just your phone/texting that is a problem? Our OGs were great phone service but 3G was slow. Now we have 3G internet much faster but calls are dropped, even texts are dropped
I am in NY (50 minutes outside of NYC), but my area is not known for good coverage on any carrier. I may try to use the Evo again just to see if it is a bit better in terms of service or if it is as bad as the Epic.
For me is better then the gS2 or galaxy nexus, but personally experience some people said the evo 4g was better

[Q] Which has the stronger radio?

Like the title says, I wanted to know which had the better radio, the LTEvo 4G or the Galaxy S3? Same Question for the One and the Galaxy S4? My discount is coming up and I'm starting to think about what the One+ (or One 2 or M8, whatever they call it) and the S5
Generally speaking, I've preferred HTC's phones, but if Samsung radios are significantly better, I may have to leave
My brother has a one and he will have 4G sittin in the house and I wont. I'd get the M8 though lol. Don't leave HTC!

For voice, they are about even. For data, the S3 tends to pull a stronger signal. My wife has the S3, and she is constantly on 4g while at home, while my phone would either stay on 3g, move slower than molasses, or not move at all while connected. The LTE chip is literally my only real complaint about this phone. However, Sense runs better than TouchWiz, in my opinion.
The choice to stay or leave is up to you, but don't make data the reason for you to leave, unless you must.

Sorry, wasn't specific, I was asking about the voice signal, my parents live in the boonies, and I work boonies adjacent
I hate TouchWiz where as Sense has always been my favorite and generally prefer the hardware and form that HTC has, but voice reception is going to be my key purchase point in the next phone

Do you know if they fixed the LTE chip in the One?
From what I have heard, yes. The LTE chip is much better. Still not as good as the S4, but that's what you get for aluminum vs plastic. About the voice...I never had any issues with signal, and neither does my wife with her S3. It seems about equal, but I will check a few signal apps on both and compare them.

How's The Signal Strength?

I really want to get this phone, but my main concern would be the signal strength. I have very poor cell signal where I work. Only the iPhone 4s and Galaxy S4 maintained an acceptable signal at work. Other phones seem to constantly switch between 4G-LTE, 4G, G, and even E. Anything below 4G being unusable.
So how is this phone when it comes to the signal strength? Anyone else out there have a similar issue as me, and found the HTC One (M8) to show great reception?

I live in a dead spot for ATT coverage. My GS4 would only show 1-3 bars but the G4 LTE worked all the time. So far (one day) the One M8 shows about the same number of bars, and I've had no trouble with the connection. So bottom line (at least so far) I'd say it is equal in performance to the GS4.
HTH
Imo about the same as gs4, better than m7, WAY better than nexus 5. M8 WiFi better than any phone I have ever had.
