3G is 5 bars 4G is zilch even though Sprint says I should have strong 4G-inside my home

2 Bars, lots of droped calls Email push is slow

I almost always can make calls, but I miss quite a few. I also only get about 1 or 2 bars in my house, yet my parents who have AT&T get great service all over the house. My girlfriend with Verizon gets great service and 5 bars. There are also some certain spots in Five Canyons and on Fairview, where if I am on the phone I am guaranteed to lose service. I don't think I ever get 5 bars unless I am on the freeway with nextel.

I have tried working with Sprint PCS for a number of years to encourage them to install a cell tower in the area. I had even located a commercial tower for the antenna location. But all to deaf ears. There are 600 more homes planned for the area with 250 in a previous near area completed. No signal until a mile down Hayward Bivd. The cellular companies are asleep. Now shopping for a new carrier.

We're halfway up the hill on Pine Wood. Service inside the house is almost zero, but a few feet away on the back deck, the service becomes normal. Whenever someone comes to our area (friends, workmen, etc.), they have signal problems. I switched to Verizon from AT&T, and it's the best I've experienced.

once you enter you loose 1 bar the farther you are from the entrance door the more bars you loose as your at the back of the store you have no reception at all I have to either go towards the front or outside to get reception and make a call also its the same crap when you go into subway not as much you stay with 2 bars most of the times if you sit close to a window you get 1bar more but its always 2 bars then back to 3 then back to 2 back and fourth. Its always the sames for all the shops around alberstons sometimes I have to go on the roof since theres a parking lot there and get full bars. This is not the only place I have trouble with also my house and mostly all hayward hayward needs a new cell site to improve the reception because most of hayward has bad reception especially at cal state thats a dead spot for all carriers.

i get 3 bars most of the times in this area sometimes I get all 5bars but its mostly 3 and somedays its 4 bars

bad reception is this city its a miracle wen it get all 5 but other wise it get low reception in this city I think they need to put another service tower to improve the reception in this city the only place were I get all my bars is in the mall and other places but other than that bad reception in this city and I lived here too!

Usually no problems either inside my house or out of the house in the greater Hayward (North East) neighborhoods and down Grove into Castro Valley on my regular walks. My service is through Working Assets, which contracts with Sprint for service.

reception is mostly 3 bars all the time here but inside my house is mostly 1 - 3 bars sometimes I get no reception I have to go outside to get more bars and have better reception I think the reception should be improve around this area

My apartment is at the intersection where Mission St. and Jackson meet. I have complete reception in and around this area and have yet to have any dropped calls in the Hayward area. Have been with T-Mobile for 2 years.

very poor reception! I had a Nokia that was never a problem here and now this one can not get 2 bars most of the time..

When at home, my cell reception is very spotty. 90% of incoming calls go straight to voicemail.

Every time I head up the hill, the signal bars die and my call is dropped just before the Cal State Hayward (East Bay) campus. All my friends know where exactly I am by virtue of when the call drops. My Nextel phone is the same. My friends with Cingular and T-Mobile experience the same as well. Can't someone place a tower in the Hayward Hills?

TDMA phone worked here 6 months ago at Walmart in San Leando. No reception. Others using cell phones but not me. Service was AT&T

The connection here for voice / data is five bars pretty much everywhere.

Signal strength comes in and out. Sometime all 5 bars, then it dies for no reason. I wonder if it has to do with the high tension power line that's running on Eden Greenway.

Before ATT merged with Cingular, I was extremely pleased with the reception in and around my home. I live in a home with aluminum siding and this was never a reception problem until the last 18 months. In fact, I had a friend staying with me using MetroPCS. He had to go outside to use his phone; while I always had 4-5 bars. Saw the earlier post about the new homes (which were built concurrent with the Cingular buyout) and am now wondering if they might be the source of my reduced service. At this time, I rarely get more than 1 bar in my home and even then 75% of calls I attempt do not go through. Really not happy, but not on contract and certainly not willing to sign a new contract for the same poor reception.

Weak sugnal at varied places?

New housing development built in the area. Barely any reception in that area and on Hesperian heading south... which eventually turns into Union City Blvd. All along UC Blvd you're lucky to get a bar at all.
