    D2 Radio update?

    Is there one? I seem to have issues with the radio dropping 3g to 1x, and then returning a few minutes. This happens every 5 minutes or so. I know there is no issue with coverage as I can lay it next to a droid1 and DX (even running the same rom) and they have no signal issues at all. I've tried sbfing, and it doesn't really change anything...

    Suggestions? Or should I call verizon and / or asurian and get it replaced?

    And, on that note, I am under my 1 year manuf. Warentee for defects. Anyone know how I can go about getting it replaced?

    This started happened to me about 2-3 months ago, it'll drop to 1x or it will go to the white 3g icons and never come back. A reboot or cutting on airplane mode usually fixes it for me.

    this has ALWAYS happened to me when tethering airplane mode toggling fixes it every time, is this a defect? I just assumed it was moto engineering at its finest

    Not sure... I am currently flashing rom to rom to rom to see if I can find one that doesn't do it.

    I never had any radio probs with any of those ROMS except Apex (which I have yet to flash) and I ran them for at least a couple of weeks at a time. Id have to say that's quite a strange thing to happen.

    Ive had the same problem since moving to GB. Before GB, I never had the problem, and I also noticed when upgrading to GB for the first time, a radio update was installed.

    I assume its the leaked GB radio update causing these problems. Hopefully with the legit release of GB the radio will be more reliable.

    That is true. I forgot about the gb update. That's likely my issue. Is there a way you flash back the old radio? I did an sbf and still have the issue.

    Again I had no radio issue so I doubt it GB. Must be a hardware prob. I've flashed many different roms that are GB based and have never had an issue. If you return the phone to verizon don't forget to sbf back to stock.
