I've had my bionic for 2 or 3 weeks now and have been having lots of data drops. Usually lasting 1-5 min. It mainly showed up with streaming media. But even if not streaming sometimes I'd need to airplane mode or switch 3/4g. I had a big problem just getting it setup needing 3 calls, an overnight wait, multiple battery and sim resets. While streaming sometimes I could stream for 1 or 2 hours straight then without moving suddenly loose connection then take many tries to get back online then possibly lose then fiddle to regain connection every few min till I give up caring. I've been looking at these different threads on connection losses but have not jumped in because I knew I had a few apps installed that I suspected. Well I finally uninstalled a few of these and my problem seems fixed. I uninstalled battery defender, battery dr saver and, my main suspect, mobo task killer.
I still have android booster mini info and they seem to be fine. I know I was crazy about how many of these I had installed. Its why I didnt comment. I did just want to post that for some people the phone may be fine. The bad news is that there may be many phones out there that are just defective. I also see the os update people are hoping to be the cure all but I suspect it isn't going to help much. I can tell you that at least my bionic is running well so far and if you completely re-flashed yours and its fresh and still not working they should give you a new phone. And if you havent tried your apps, check that first.
Just wanted to update. Still working very well here in san diego. I had 3g sort of go dead for an evening but a full reset fixed it. It could be a bit smoother switching between wifi and 3/4g when streaming but it usually kicks over in 5-15 sec. So i just want to let you all know there is hope and a bionic can work. If yours doesnt make them give you a NEW one. If they give you a referb give it a test and if its bad make them give you a new one then another if needed.
So my phone locked up and I had to pull the battery to get it back to working but i have no data.. I've pulled the battery 4 more times and still NOTHING..... am i screwed?

After making my post above, I recived an automated phone call from VZW asking about my customer support experience. I replied that the CSR was very courtious, but my problem was not solved, and that on a scale of 0-10, I would reccomend VZW 0 times. There was a prerecorded message that said someone may get in contact with me to see why I gave the answers I did..... About an hour later I got a call back from the same VZW rep, following up on my customer service experience. I told him that I was a lil pissed that I was forced to go backwards into an older Samsung product. He told me that I wasnt forced into it, but the Razr was too new. After somew discussion, he told me they were sending out a razr come Monday, because it had now been out for 30 days :/
BUT WAIT!! Friday I was out, and I looked and my phone said there was an update needed.....so I downloaded the update. Took about 10 minutes. Phone restarted, and all was good. Fri night I had good service, and all of Sat I had good service. I thought hey, maybe the update DID fix it.......until this AM.....yup same problem.
