How come the thunderbolt on my third line has full lte signal and only drops when traveling through 3g areas.. What about my roommates razor who gets full lte signal? Side by side where all 3 replacement BIONCS FAILED TO GET MORE THAN A BAR FOR SECONDS AT A TIME OF LTE AND .5MB DOWN. Explain why all four bionics in same spot get full bars of lte in a call, but when I hang up nothing.. Not even 1x it takes 30 seconds or longer for it to build up one bar at a time from 1x to 3g

Driving directly into 4G from 3G transitions well. when driving tangentially along a 4G cell at weak signal distance, that's when the problem starts, bad switching between radios. I recall for voice the towers did the hand off, not the phone. Is it the same for data?

radio issues HELP

I see all the 3g/4g issues and I have had those too going to the big city and then back to 3g but not really that bad. Just either airplane mode a few times or pull the bat/sim card and it goes back to normal. The huge issue I have is 1X data. I go to "extended areas" quite a bit in the midwest or in very rural FL where all I can get is 1X and the Bionic will not go there 90% of the time. My first phone just flipped back in forth from 3G to 1X and then would go to no data period just bars showing. V has replaced it twice and the new update worked for a short time but now it will not go back to 1X at all. 3g/4g work but not 1X. Can you force 1X somehow? My first two phones were rooted with custom roms and such but this current phone is stock and plain. Does not seem to matter just radio issues. Anyone can help me here? V will not let me go RZR and I know my local guy very well and I have tried cus service on the phone and well that is def not going to work. So can anyone shed some light on this and help? Just gonna have to sell this phone and buy a RZR otherwise as I have to have data when I go to extended areas. Thanks

You said your Bionic is stock, so do we take that to mean you haven't loaded the "901" update? If you don't have "901" I'd wait for it to see if it fixes things - before you do anything drastic. Also, word has it that the firmware update only helps work around the real problem which is within the tower code. They are working to fix the problem and in some areas folks claim that all is now well.

No I have not loaded up 901 yet as it is not OTA just yet I do not think .. I will apply it today and be patient. I really like the phone especially with a custom roms.

It's interesting... if this same issue was happening with the iPhone, it would be mainstream news (just like the death grip issue). Not that I expect the Bionic to garner the same type of attention as iPhone. However, if consumers couldn't get and maintain a reliable data connection, four month after the phone's release, we'd probably have the FCC and Congress investigating Motorola and VZW.
