dude stop complaining, either Dial *228, choose option 2, and then wait to update your signal or call verizon and get your device replaced. this is defiantly one of the best phones I have ever had, yet you make it sound like your using an iphone.

um... do you and your buddy have the same cell provider?

Ok so your complaining about signal issues inside a massive metal and concrete building....

I have issues with service when I go in a bomb shelter, does that mean my phone sucks?

I have to laugh.... first off, some of you need to be able to recognize someone who is frustrated and venting... others need to learn to read and comprehend a it better.

I NEVER complained about having a problem typing on my Inc. When I stated the five minute thing, it took that long to POST what I had typed....

2 VZW Android smartphones next to each other. Both on latest PRL, both with latest *18 bump. Both with over 90% battery left. Yet the Ally was constantly seeing -67 to -80 signal strength while my DInc never got better than -97 signal strength.

JUST for comparison, another guy with iphone 3G had full set of bars (no idea about his actual signal strength number...) and both those guys had no problem with 3G service. My DInc, for example, would not play youtube videos (kept getting errors trying to play) while the other guys' played perfectly.

Once outside the doors (less than 100 ft away) I get full bars (I know, I know...). At home I use wifi so no problems there.

Just frustrating, that's all. Aside from that (and typical crappy battery life) I am happy with the phone.

You are still trying to compare the Incredible to a different device, made by a different manufacturer, with different hardware components. Doesnt matter if they are both Android devices on VZW. Find someone else with an Incredible in the same location and see what the comparison looks like. If the other Incredible gets a better signal, then it would look like its your device and may be able to get a replacement.

No one else I know has one. I realize they are different phones, that is my point. many other smartphones seem to get better 3G reception than the Inc. I wish I could compare with another Inc....anyone got an extra to send? LOL

More than Anything, I was just venting.... sorry if it got some undies in a bunch here n there.

I think it may be your hardware or something because I haven't really had much of a problem with my 3G. It does suck at times, but so does everyone else's when that happens. Also, sometimes I have 3G and no one else does. I guess it's just the difference in the phones...

I tend to get a pretty weak signal inside metal buildings where other with different phones have better signals. It bothered me a little but when I'm in these building I'm not using the phone that much so no real problem I guess. I still wouldn't trade my Dinc for any of these other phones.
