The signal is ever so slightly higher outside as would be expected, but still not high enough, often enough to be depended on. In fact it is more prone to roam when stepping out of the house than inside. I have to drive several miles Northwest (approximately 7 miles) towards the intersection of Interstate 10 and SR 71 in the panhandle of Florida, just south of the town, Marianna. When heading east on SR 286 from SR69, through the Ochessee area to I-10 and then heading east for about 10 miles from the Apalachicola River are several dropout areas of low to no signal, but since we're moving it is for a very brief period of time. Getting back to my house though, the service that I had as late as last summer, both inside and out, has significantly declined.  Just based on my driving from my house, it seems that a tower North of me has dropped. You can find these roads on Google maps, in fact you can find them by zooming in on the Verizon Coverage map, find Tallahassee in North Florida and follow Interstate 10 to the west for about 50 miles. The problem seems to be from SR 286 to SR 69 then to SR71. Along a stretch about 17 miles south of Interstate 10 in between these 3 intersections is where the problem seem most prevalent. I'm not sure what you meant by follow and send a private message. The only option I see for me is "Reply". Please excuse my ignorance.

.   My zip code is 32421 in NW Florida, Just about the middle of the map, just below Interstate 10. I have been with Verizon since it took a portion of ALLTEL, was with Alltel since they took over another company and was with that company when they took over one. I have not personally changed providers in at least 15 years or more. My problem now is that my signal strength has become almost nonexistent where I have always been all these years. It seems like the fall of 2013 I had good signal but it started dropping. I finally change from a Motorola Maxx (I think it was) and now my wife has a Samsung Galaxy S3 and I have the S4. The other 2 phones on our contract (grandkids) both Apple 4's have the same problem. My son and his wife, who live next door and with Verizon also have the same problem and timeline. It is like a tower(s) have been out of commission for a while. My phone roams at times while in the house. If I have my phone set to announce when it loses the network or regains the network, it became to irritating to have to hear it. At one point we could almost use our cell phones exclusively at home. Now we are bound to landlines. I've never had any problem with Verizon but have become quite upset during the last 6 months to the point of trying something different when our contract expires. We are no longer getting the service we were getting with earlier contracts. Please help. Tell us what we can do or what Verizon is going to do to check this out.

Wow, I was about to ask this question about my SD card and once on site I see that I asked the question I was going to tonight back in October and have had a lot of good responses, none of which I've tried yet. I totally forgot and don't know where my mind has been the last few months. I fixed the second question about the the IP settings I had to set up in each of my laptops to connect, but since I could not find a place in the phone to setup IP address settings for Internet, they would not work. I ended up setting the IP addresses up in my Wi-Fi for Internet setup and now all the phones work along with the PC's by having a common point to go through for this setting. I'm still getting the message about the SD card removed expectantly daily. It seems this mainly happens overnight while the phone is charging. I very seldom turn the phone off. I'll try some of the good suggestions left on this forum and get back with you guys later. The card in question is a 16GB SanDisc. Thanks for all of the help.

1. I have been having problems getting a message that my SD card was unexpectedly removed. (Not the exact wording but close enough) I can tell by looking at the Gallery that it isn't lying because I can tell instantly that half of the photos are missing.I have to turn off the phone, remove it from its case and then pull the strip weather strip on the left side open to give me access to system SD and the additional storage SD. The SD is tightly in place, but I still have to pop it out by pushing in a little and raising the end and letting go. I completely remove the SD and replace it pushing it in and down making sure the spring has locked. I turn the phone back on and all is well but it will happen again. There does not seem to be a pattern to when this happens. 2. This is probably the hard question or problem. I had started having problems with my home Internet provider (Fairpoint). My two desktops and two laptops would no longer connect to the Internet. I have a Wi-Fi home network setup using NETGEAR wireless. My DSL router is connected directly to  my  wireless router. The two laptops are wireless, a new desktop is both Ethernet and wireless and my older desktop is Ethernet. I have wireless printers, a ROKU live streaming box, Blu-Ray DVD player all hooked connected wireless. One day, all the PC's stopped connecting to the internet. They were all connected and confirmed to the wireless router. The DSL indicators showed the internet was up and all the other devices worked. ROKU would connect to both Netflix and Amazon Prime. After talking to Fairpoint internet support for a while, they had me log into the each PC and go to my wireless network connection properties. There I had to go to the Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) properties and change one setting. I had to deselect  "Obtain DNS server address automatically" by selecting "Use the following DNS server addresses". The Preferred DNS server was set to 66.243.238.22 and the Alternate DNS server set to 137.118.1.32. Everything was rebooted and everything connected to the wireless as usual, including mine and my wifes phone (Droid Incredible). Everything including all of the PC's connected to the Internet, but now none of the phones connect. The phones are on the wireless network but they will NOT work with any software requiring Internet connectivity like Chrome or the Facebook app and the weather apps. I cannot find anywhere on the phone where you can set Internet Protocol properties or setting DNS server addresses. I live way out in the woods and have a weak phone signal. Sometimes 3g, sometimes 1g but mostly no g, but I can still get a very slow connection to the internet with the phone set to Mobile Data, but that costs money. Can any networking guru help me out here? I can sure use it. For those that took the time to read through all of this, thank you.
