I had the 4x to 3x to 1x issue the day I bought the phone, but I haven't had that issue since then. People are still having this today?
This seems to be the case. At home, without my network extender, I get about -98dBm. I recently activated my old Droid 1 on an unused family plan line ($30/mo, why not?) and had it sit next to my Thunderbolt. My Thunderbolt showed -80-92dBm but had 1 bar. My Droid 1 showed -90-110dBm and had 3-4 bars when I unplugged the network extender.
This is probably why people are complaining of worse reception when in fact they're getting better. Signal bars are an inaccurate way of gauging reception imo. Because on my Thunderbolt, even with 0 bars I was able to make a really clear phone call a few days ago.
If u take it back and explain that u were having problems and ur phone is defective the might extend the return dateWell i thought these would be resolved, but i no longer get a usable sign at my apartment. Its gotten worse, not better. Dropped a call with my gf like three times in 15 minutes. even after restting, reseating sim, etc, etc, it still is not reliable. It was fi.e a few days ago, so idk what has changed. Very dissapointed. I guess my only option now is to either exchange it, or
Return it and buy a d1 from telesales.
