Mark the Spot app delivering results for low-coverage iPhone users

My house was in a dead zone in Los Angeles and about 2-3 weeks after submitting We have full coverage. Verizon/Sprint/Tmobile still have poor coverage there. I never got a text though.

I got this app when it first came out. About a month later, I started having serious connection problems at home (where I previously didn't have any). It took me a week or two of using the app before I saw results. Apparently, they were "tweaking" their network and the result of their tweak put my home in a problem area.

Only after sending a note through the app that I would quit the service if they didn't get the thing sorted out quickly did they fix the problem.

I got one too. It'll be interesting to see if they actually install them and when...

any feedback is awesome especially from such a big and pressured company I really like the direction AT&T has seemed to have taken lately they have made lots of good steps in the right direction.

I have submitted four areas, three of them consistently have dropped calls and data drops all related to 3G. I switch to Edge and no problems.

I can honestly say that since I have been submitting to Mark the Spot, three of these areas have improved dramatically. Don't know know it is luck, coincidence or what, but wth do I care, it's better!

I got one of those messages the other day mentioning a Mark The Spot submission from 5/27/2010, and that a new tower was going up in 60-90 days, I think someone at AT&T is a fan of FlashForward...

They should just plot all of the complaints on a map (the "Inverse Coverage Map") and just systematically eliminate the densest clusters one by one. If they've ever played a strategy game, they'll be all over this.

this one is much better since it was filed from the future.

I used the app in my home which has had zero coverage for the 8 years I have lived there. A block in all directions around me is fine, but we are apparently in a shadow area from a mountain top in the way. Anyway, since I started regularly submitting feedback from the app, I have now begun getting coverage. Sometimes even 5 bars. Not consistent enough to really use it as a phone, but I do get text messages and am at least aware of missed calls. While not ideal, it is so much better than before and I see it as a definite result of them taking this app seriously. I don't often say it, but good job ATT.

I keep sending these mark the spot location issues in... I live on between a 3G tower and an Edge tower, and the phone is constantly fighting to keep signal...

3G no bars, no data, then 5 bars no data, then 1 bar and Edge, then 5 bars and edge, then no bars and 3G, then it'll say 4 bars and 3G a lot, but no actual data transfer occurs...

still better than the verizon people around me -- they get the shaft worse than my coverage.
