Lol. It amazes me how peoples experiences differ so greatly.. my Incredible has been nothing shy of its name. From lighting fast internet to flawless text/email entry to the free voice activated turn by turn navigation.. just the whole experience has been great. Now with 2.2 & Flash I'm able to enjoy tons of new websites.. I'm totally satisfied.
 
After all this time, people still havent realized that the bars mean NOTHING when the advanced powers of the phone will meter down radio power until needed. My Dinc that I have had since the day before release day has NEVER dropped a call. Hell, right now I have SIX bars!!!

Bars or not, I was setting at work next to a buddy, he on his Ally and me on my DInc. It is inside a building, a Toyota assembly plant here in KY. But it is about 100 ft from two big doors...

Anyway, ATT phones get great signal, the Ally was getting decent, but my signal was between -97 and -102. I could not get any you tube videos to load... web pages would stop loading or take FOREVER....

Once outside, the signal picked up and everything works great. Just gets very frustrating.... the thing eats the battery in no time because it is working so hard to get a signal.

My complaint on taking 5 minutes to type and post above was not due to me not being able to figure the phone out you doofs, it was because the page just set there trying to load. Also the typing was very slow.... very laggy.

I don't drop calls either. It is the 3G signal I am referring to. Talking and texting are fine. Sorry for the confusion....
 
I love the phone and I agree bars don't mean anything full signal and I drop calls however its the same spot so I think its network

Sounds like a hater to me.... There is nothing wrong with the iphone. They sell so many for a reason!

Actually there is nothing wrong with the Dinc either ,mine works great almost the same signal everywhere I go as my DX .

I dont know whats wrong with yours if you are having signal issues but that doesnt mean they are all like yours.:rolleyes:
How you logically resolve the matter shows your true intelligence.;)

However that being said :

If you want to sling it against the wall "go for it" I didnt pay for your phone , lol :p . Buy a model of everyphone made and sling it against the wall if thats what you wana do.

post a pic if you do

When is the last time you updated the towers on your phone? Dial *228, choose option 2, and then wait. IT could just be that your towers are out of date.
 
Go and get any of the Motorola phones, you think the Dinc sucks wait till your droid pro starts bogging down. Motorola uses cheap components, htc has always been known for Making good quality phones. SwiftKey may solve your typing issues and sometimes turning your phone off then on helps with issues due to cache needing cleared of other various things.
 
Sorry you are having a terrible experience. It is not representative of what most people are experiencing.

Do a full reset and start over. The cleanest, full reset I know of would be to manually download the froyo zip file. Rename it to update.zip and install it though recovery while doing a factory wipe. See link. This will wipe everything, but it's not a bigger pain than if you were to switch phones. Backup whatever you need, if possible.
