Re: [Troubleshooting] Tower upgrade or bad hardware or just a fl
The best way to determine if the problem is yours, the local tower, or something else is the put the card in a laptop and drive closer to the tower. If your signal picks up and stays good, you are having terrestrial interference most likely. I would then suggest a booster amp and external antenna.
If it does not resolve the issue, then I would drive to ANOTHER tower and see what happens. If it gets better, and stays connected, you have a local tower issue and most likely none of the people you talk to even know about it, but the service group certainly does.
If you still have an issue, then swap out the data card.
Either way, the store and most people in customer service have NO idea about the current tower status or have anyway to test ANYTHING. EVDO is a great thing, but it still sold by the same kids who sell cell phones for a living so always keep that in perspective. Most of them have no idea what EVDO is.
