I as well as a few others have noted that the signal strength reading on our DNA's is much less than before the update. For me, in areas where I consistently had 5 bars, it now shows 2 or 3. In other areas, it fluctuates between 1 and 3 bars. I have not had any dropped calls or loss of call quality thus far. I noticed something today - I had 2 bars and placed a call, and the reading immediately jumped up to 4 bars when I pressed send. I could repeat this behavior every time, where the signal strength reading would jump up 2 or 3 bars immediately when the call was placed. Since I am not having any issues related to poor signal quality (dropped calls. missed calls, etc.), I'm wondering if this is intentional as a power saving feature to extend battery life. Maybe, throttle back the radio power to a minimum that is required to keep connection with the towers, then increase the power during a call. I could be totally wrong on this.
Does anyone else see this same behavior?
