Hey guys, I've had the droid for about 5 days and am loving it. I'm still working out some battery use issues but other than that it's great. One of the main problems I'm having is around singal strength/wifi.
The main issue I have is that I use my wifi at home and then cell signal away from home (of course). Wifi works great, but when I leave the house, it'll sit at 4 -5 bars with no wifi and no cell data signal for maybe a few minutes. Then it connects at 1X, and will usually sit there with about 3 bars. Every so often it'll flash up 3G with 1-3 bars and then flip back to 1X. I live in the Oakland/Berkeley, CA area, and swithced from ATT to Verizon because I heard of their great 3G coverage, I just don't seem to be experiencing it.
In general the singal doesn't seem too great, never have full bars, and almost always on 1X. Anyone else experienced this? I've installed a billion apps since the start and I'm not sure if any of those are affecting it, including Locale. Another issue I seem to notice is that every so often if an app turns off wifi, and then turns it back on, sometimes I'll go into wireless networks and it won't detect any networks whatsoever until I manually turn off and turn back on wifi.
Anyone experienced any of this or have any recommendations?
