One thing I have noticed in the last day or two my phone is having issues holding onto my Wifi when the router is even in the same room. It will lock onto it (im inside my house) then it will loose it and say networks available which then throws me back onto 4G. My 2 laptops have no issue with this so its not my router. I thought settings first but I haven't changed any and I have it set to night time saver and as of posting this it isn't night time. Even then Wifi shouldn't matter with that signal for 4G. Only thing I have had so far were the data drops and the once in a blue moon reset on its own (none of which I would find a deal breaker because the patches have been helping) but this is a new one for me and I have already done a few battery pulls to see if it would clear it up. I have no clue what else to do with this but I hate the fact that I am home and its not staying locked on my WiFi, I have unlimited data but still I am on 30GB firberoptic on my home internet and its stable in comparison sometimes to 4G.

*Update* Now to top it all off I have lost 4G and it is sitting on 3G......Salt on the proverbial wound?

I just toggled Wifi and it changed back to 4G. I am totally at a loss as to what is going on. This is a day 1 phone and up to this point haven't had anything major to complain about and have enjoyed it but this is a new one and its got me puzzled. Any ideas before I call the folks at VZ to be told to do what I already have done (batt pull/airplane mode toggle/wifi toggle)?

Welp I got routed all the way up to Tier 2 Motorola tech support and its hardware is what they are looking at. Tier 1 and 2 VZW said it was a moto issue and above their heads so they sent me to moto. Moto Tier 1 said it was above his head so Tier 2 told me to take it in and see if I can connect to VZW wireless. More than likely she said I will have to swap out my unit. GRRRRRR she even had me do a factory wipe (hate those cause I don't like risking the loss of something important). SO! I have to go in store to get a replacement :'(

There goes having a Day 1 bionic.
 
Welp got replacement Bionic today. Holding Wifi, getting everything re-downloaded and noticed something.....no light leak from the bottom of the screen LOL! I didn't care about it being on my origional phone but this one doesn't have it lol. Looks like a clean "Certified New" phone and I get to keep using the $250 worth of accessories I bought for this phone LOL.
