Reaching the end of my rope
This phone had so much potential. I've tried my best to love it, but it continues to give me reasons not to. I've had it since July, and every day that goes by that I'm unable to perform basic functions is one day I'm closer to getting rid of it.
The reception issues are abysmal. Now I will admit that I live/work in an already bad reception area. So yes, I'm already at a disadvantage in that department - however even with this being the case, I was still always able to do simple things like text, group text, and use typical apps such as facebook, reddit, and groupme with my old galaxy.
Every time I take this phone out my pocket, you can roll the dice on whether or not I have service. And if I don't I either need to turn on/off airplane mode, or even reboot the phone entirely. It completely interrupts the flow of my day, and often interrupts the flow of conversations. Sometimes i get group texts way late, and people receive mine way too late, which leads to a lot of miscommunication, and has even led to arguments/misunderstandings at times.
Now like I said, I'm in a bad area, and I completely acknowledge this. There are two major dead zones that I travel through every day, where i fully expect to lose service. Unfortunately with this phone, the recovery is a joke. With my galaxy I used to pass through these dead zones and once i was out I'd be right back to 4G....with my KeyOne often times I will pass through a deadzone, and will not have data again until 15minutes later when I'm home and on WiFi. And as I said before, sometimes i will never get it back without resetting my phone.
Right now I'm at work. I've been on groupme throughout the morning. I lost data service at one point for over an hour - I then reset that my phone, and all was back to normal. Honestly wtf, I've been in the same building all day. This is clearly an internal issue. Almost 5 months of this, and I'm absolutely sick of it. Had to get this off my chest.
