LinkBack URL
About LinkBacksI have had a Motorola Droid Bionic for almost 2 weeks now - have about 4 more days before I decide whether I want to return it for a different droid model. I need it to be able to download emails wherever I am. I live in the country and usually only get 1-3 bars of 1x signal, although sometimes it switches over to 3g. My old Blackberry storm was fine with this, never a problem accessing email. But my new phone needs a 3g signal to work at all on email, which perplexes me.
Is this normal?
I know there is a fix the manufacturer is working on for email issues. If this is to fix this problem, amongst others, I'll stick out and keep this phone. If this fix is not in teh works, I'd rather get another phone.
Thanks,
Trisha Stall

11-01-2011 03:07 PMMy Bionic pop 3 works on wifi
Droid does some cool and amazing things. Yet it does not do some basic stuff that has been stock on most phones for years. It makes me think the Google developers were marooned in some kind of a 1977 LOST flashback/flashforward/sideways combo reality gameshow -

11-01-2011 08:03 PMPlus, gmail (which I don't use, but have set up on phone) won't update/check mail without a 3g signal. This can't be right? Anyone have this problem besides me, or is this a problem with my phone that I have to go to Verizon store to get them to fix or issue me a new phone?

11-02-2011 08:14 AMIt doesn't sound normal, but that may be how the new 4G generation technology operates. Originally Posted by tstall

11-02-2011 08:43 AMHere's what I suggest as a first step any time you are having any problems with Gmail: settings/applications/manage applications/all/gmail/clear data. That solves a lot of issues, but I've never encountered you exact issue. Good luck. Originally Posted by tstall

11-02-2011 09:04 AMOP, your issue is not normal. I don't have help for you, but my Bionic does Pop3 and Gmail on wifi, 4g, 3g, and 1x. Call VZW first. If they can't help, go to the store and get a replacement
