Welcome to the forum. Would you be able to shed any insight into this issue (link below):
Did the update fix your 3G->1x swtiching and reception issues?
...basically, the Droid seems to suffer from constant signal status change. Understandably its different for everyone based on location however some people drop signal in fairly decent reception areas, or just have weaker signal, than other phones on VZ in the same area.
More importantly, would this be something that software or configuration changes could fix, or is it strictly hardware?
