Hi all,
New forum member here after lurking for quite a while. I traded my DInc for an X on the 15th (I was not happy with the audio quality) and am going to really like the phone if this glitch gets resolved.
My signal reception has been extremely poor on this new phone. I know others have reported similar findings, and I'm really hoping the upcoming baseband update fixes the problem. The problem I am having is that where my wife's original Droid will have a -70 signal, I will have somewhere in the -90's. Sometimes I will watch the signal meter go from full bars to none to a no signal indicator. Sometimes I will have a very poor signal (-105 or worse) and will still have 3 bars which seems odd to me.
At work where the office VZW cell phones can makes calls, I am unable to. Here's something strange--when I go to make a phone call, the signal bars go from full bars to no bars and the 3g indicator goes away. At the same exact location I can get a download speed of 1.7mbs which is nice....but no voice calls. I have poor reception at my home as well which is about 15 miles away, and talking to my wife on the way home last night I dropped the call about 4 or 5 times, almost like is was having a hard time switching towers or something. Never experienced this before with other devices.
Anyone having similar issues? I have already performed a hard reset and *228 using option 1 and 2. This has made no difference. I'm waiting for the OTA update, and if that does not resolve the issue I will see about getting a replacement.
Thanks,
Brent
