Terrible 3g coverage

[miamifin33]

Im pretty sure this is a known issue but this is ridiculous now. No matter where i go i have either extremely poor or no 3g service at all. What in gods name is wrong with this phone. Add that to my battery only lasting 6 hours a day with NO use. Should i take it back? I updated the cell towers by the way.

How do you update the cell towers?

 

[rblake84]

Well I am on number 4 and 3g has sucked on all of them. All have signal fluctuation. Also I have had one with unresponsive screen, locking up and restarting on its own. This phone is just very buggy.

 

[rblake84]

*228 but it won't help

All I can add is that my 3G signal is great. I've only seen it go down to 1X once or twice.

 

[miamifin33]

Maybe i will give the incredible a try. My blackberry was so much better than this phone.

 

[Toxa]

From my experience incredible was much worse. It dropped calls where i usually had full bars, it's a known issue.

 

[miamifin33]

My screen has also just recently began to lock up. Phone is also laggy.

You are one out of few with such bad luck dude, sorry but droid must hate you. Good luck (I am a happy blackberry convert just from droid x btw)

I will go to verizon and get a new one. No reason my phone should be this buggy.

 

[Bond32]

Strange indeed. You did *228 option 1 and 2 right? Explain it to verizon, I bet they will work with you for a different phone.

I would try that out since it sounds like you're having some of the known problems that call for the need for a replacement. Plus, you're still within your 30 day window so you SHOULD get a brand new device instead of a refurb (if they're even doing refurbs yet).

Yes return it. Had a BB Storm 1 and Tour. Both had excellent cell service. Incredible was so so. X is every bit as good as BB. No problems with X.

Unfortunately they are, so OP, make sure they send you one in original packaging.

Yeah LOTS of bugs with the X, the continued lag and freeze ups is extremely frustrating...

I have a Storm 1 and a DX sitting side by side right now on my desk. The Storm 1 shows 1XEV (3G) with NO BARS... very weak signal... and the DX shows 3G (1XEV) with 2 bars. It has been my experience that the DX has just as good, and in most cases better, service than the BlackBerry.

your crazy this thing pisses all over my BB's.

 

[TootNBerry]

Yes it does when it works mine has began to hang up, I've even had the loss of data for minutes at a time..

How are you able to tell me which phone gave me better voice and data coverage? My BB was solid as a rock as far as coverage was concerned. If this droid didn't have wifi id barely ever be able to go online or receive emails. I've also been dropping calls lately.
