I recently changed my mobile carrier to save some money. The new
carrier's signal here at the house isn't so good for data so my apps
with LVL can fail when trying to link up with Play. To me that answers
why some of my customers will get a failure (usually within the first
few days of installing since I don't check beyond that). I tell them it
may well be due to poor carrier signal and to try wifi if they can. I
use wifi instead at the house though the carrier is putting up a new
tower down the road so that problem will go away.
What I noticed this morning on a walk at a park where that carrier has a
tower or antenna (it's on a PG&E high transmission tower) is that I got
dropouts listening to streaming radio. Walking outdoors in this
neighborhood where that tower is over 2 miles away I don't get any drops
while listening. So to the mobile wonks here why would I get dropouts
right at the tower? The phone is an unlocked Galaxy Nexus and the
carrier is 4G or HSPA. Signal was 3 or 4 bars right there at the
tower. This could be useful to know if someone argues back that the
cell tower is right next door and not connecting.
