Very strange. I do the *228 tower update at least once a month, and have had no issues with reception since the 2.2 update. I was even pleseantly surprised that during my week-long vacation to eastern Tennessee, I was the only person out of my friends to have cell service (2 AT&T users, 1 T-Mobile user, and me on Verizon). Anytime we were at the cabin, everyone kept wanting to borrow my phone to get hold of people.
Not for sure if this was directed to me or not. However, that is the baseband that is listed on my phone.
I am in an area (just outside of Lincoln, NE) that Verizon took over from Alltel little better than a year ago if I remember correctly. My wifes Eris works fine here though. I have a co-worker with the same baseband on his droid and it works fine?
I also have the same baseband version. I've been having problems with reception at home, but not really anywhere else (Omaha, NE). Just terrible, dropping calls all the time. It all started about the time I manually updated to Froyo (The first update). I thought it might be from that problem, but my wife has the Devour and it has had the same issues. I stumbled upon this forum:
Free Verizon Wireless Extender, Improve Cell Phone Reception in your house. (High Speed Connection Required) - SlickDeals.net Forums
It talks about a process to obtain a free network extender for my home. This is the only place I really have reception issues and I haven't really noticed 3G issues. I was contacted by my local rep and they mentioned the work that was being done with Alltel towers switchover. She mentioned that my area (Millard) was especially terrible and had noticed issues. They said it would be fixed by today (8/31), and so its not and I'll contact them again. But she was willing to credit half of my bill ($65) which is the most they can credit. Hopefully the tower issue is resolved or I at least get a free network extender (Normally $150 after rebate). We'll see I guess. You should try this process too.
Go Huskers!
My DX has not been updated and it has only worked 5% of the time since I got it on the 23rd. Verizon credited my bill and is sending out new phone. Wifey got hers the same day....no problems at all!!!!! They are sending me a new phone hope to get it by the 10th. Feeling very dejected at the moment:angry:
My replacement arrived yesterday. it was a refurbished Droid 1. It fixed my connection problems. However, the headphone jack has a horrible short in it so tthey're sending yet another one.
