CDMA/LTE. I'm in Phoenix and have solid LTE signal all day.
That's strange. All the .893's had that issue fixed according to my ears.

It isn't all that uncommon for a fix to cause a bug.

I hope Motorola keeps in mind why customers installed the leaked OTA update. I paid $300 for a phone that had significant data connectivity problems. It was frustrating to know that Motorola had a fix available but I could not take advantage of it. I totally understand the need for Motorola to go through a careful quality assurance process, and I agree with it.
As an experience IT professional I read up on how to install the leaked update. I was confident I could do it without bricking my phone. I also read that it may take me off the update path, although I am optimistic this will not be the case. I knew I was installing the update at my own risk. Had I bricked the phone then I would accept the responsibility. I did not.
The leaked update significantly improved my data connectivity. I am thrilled with the phone. I also am looking forward to continuing down the upgrade path. I will be very upset if Motorola deliberately prevents this because I installed there, albeit leaked, update to resolve the known issues that existed with their phone.
I was not trying to get something I did not deserve. I was trying to get what I paid for, a working phone with reliable data connectivity. I use the phone for business and I absolutely require a smart phone with data. Had I not applied the leaked update I would have been forced to revert to my OG Droid. I did not apply the leaked update to get anything more then what I paid for.
The decision is Motorola’s. Although I think it is wrong, Motorola can lock us out from future upgrades. There is not much we can do about it, except not buy Motorola in the future.
I believe Motorola is an awsome company and will make what I believe is the correct decision. If they don’t I suspect there will be a developer that will come up with a work around. Of course this will further push me off the upgrade path.
I would prefer to be completely stock. I do not need to be rooted. I do not want what I did not pay for. However, the only way I could use the phone’s data capability, a requirement for getting email, was to install the update.

Sgre I agree with you 100%. I am rooted in a strong 4G area so data isnt a proiblem for me unless I leave 4G Im around Ohara Airport in IL. Ihave to travel at least 20 miles in any direction to get into a real 3G area. So I havent done the 894 yet. Did it fix your data problem completly or just make it better? I think the reason why Moto has not come up with the OTA is because they dont have one that is 100% and never will. I root not to get stuff for nothing the only thing you really got that verizon cared about was tethering and thats not working yet on the Bionic. In about a week I will have ICS on my phone thats why I root get evereything ahead of time plus the fact I get off on Flashing Roms. Its kinda like people who are into Facebook Im into Roms and customization its hard to do all that stock

I say it fixed about 90% of my data problems. Much better then it was.
As for wireless tethering, i have read that the new beta version of wireless tethering works fine.
