    902: Changes for the worse; Battery Life and 4G speeds

    I notice that my 4G speeds are WAY down and battery life is slightly worse with 902.


    I can gain a little network speed back by restarting the handset, but not as much as I had before 902 on 901.


    Anyone else?

    Not me, just did a speed test and my speeds are much faster actually, especially my upload speed, 10+.

    Haven't been running it long through to gauge battery life yet.

    So far connection reliability had been good but again, its only been a day. I recently had my phone replaced because of the horrible data connection reliability and my new bionic has actually been much better even before 902, I guess something actually was wrong with my first one!

    My bionic has a better signal and better 4g reliability since updating to 902. Battery life seems to about the same.

    Just speedtested mine on 902 and got 15 down 7 up in my Faraday cage of an apartment at the bottom of a valley, with only one bar of signal strength. Comparable to the 4g speeds I was getting on 901 I guess, but I have indeed seen faster.

    Well my battery life as it relates to the tower connection has become insanely good. I am on a repeater here at home, and with it on (on 886/893) my phone with standard battery would be pretty much dead overnight. I tested it over the weekend mostly with the phone on in standby, and it took from Saturday mid day to Sunday evening to shut down from low battery. So whatever they did to fix the data/call handoff or searching really helped me a lot.

    Glad it is working well for you guys. My issue may well be the local tower (1/2 mile line-of-sight). I'm seeing high latency and low D/L speeds but decent up.

    I'll watch it and check it when I'm out and about.

    Thanks,

    I've noticed my battery doesn't last as long with the new update.

    Better 4G connection, but less battery life.
    Maybe they go hand-in-hand?
