Another Bionic that can't get a data connection... no 4G/3G/1X signal.. only wifi...

[Crazybry79]

I have been fussing with VZW via email regarding the "NO DATA CONNECTION". I told them I didn't want a Razr because I am afraid it has similar problems as the Bionic (Motorola). Told them I hear the ReZound has a good radio - I want a Rezound. They aren't going there. Offered me a Charge. I like the Charge OK but why should I go backwards? How long has the RZ been out? This is pretty ridiculous. For the price, the Bionic should do what they said it would.

I went with the RZR based on other peoples experiences... I see countless complaints in this forum alone about the Bionics data dillema, and next to nothing about the rzr. I was offered a charge as well, and thought the EXACT same thing. Why the fluf should I go backwards!

Bob, I agree 110%....for what the Bionic cost us, it should perform flawlessly, or dang close at least!

Not that I want a Razr just not my phone but I just came back from the thread on the moto forum and you have to go way back to even see any mewntion about data problem

I am glad to hear that I am not the only one having this problem. It seems like I have to turn my phone off and back on at least five times a day in order to get internet coverage. This is getting old. I am two months into my contract with Verizon, only 22 months until I can go back to AT&T.

I'm not your mom, and I'm not your wife, so I cant tell ya what to do .....but I will surely suggest that ya start making a stink with VZW. If you're tied to a contract, you might as well get the most out of it!

I got my bionic the day before the razr came out maybe I should have waited but I didn't. I have had only one time when my phone froze and all I had to do was turn it off and back in I did NOT have to pull the battery. My data works just fine but I do believe that 4 g is not 100% ready all though it is faster than my home internet service.

My big complaint is the stupid focus of the camera my droid x was much better. My other issue was battery but I did purchase an extended battery from Verizon and now I get all day without charging. I unplug around 5:30 am and plug it back in when I go to bed around 11:00 pm. Its almost dead but I am a heavy user so I feel that's pretty good.

Patch is coming very shortly to address these issues.

Well, it's 3 1/2 weeks later, and my similar issues still haven't been addressed. WHEN EXACTLY is the patch arriving??:furious:

 

[jesonger]

It's in the list of fixes that will be sent out in the OTA update in November. Why bother trying to fix something they know is wrong and are addressing?

I'll tell you why: It's a month later, and still no November fix! Desperate people do desperate things.

3G/4G update

just got back from the Verizon store and seems they just released the update to fix this the other day. Just a heads to those that didnt know like myself, check for an update incase yours didnt alert you like mine.

I got the OTA update. My Bionic is a little better but it still drops data connection more than my old Droid 2 and the MiFi 2200.
Phooie.

UPDATE:Been having data dropping issues. Done with the walk arounds. Verizon sent me a replacement bionic. Same problems.

Called Verizon, attempted to cancel contract. CSR promised me a Razr as a replacement (Frankly, I don't give a ratts a$$ what they give me.....I'm just fed up with this Bionic)

Soooo..... a week later, no Razr. I figure FedEx must be slow on their overnight shipping......Nope. Called VZW and come to find out they will not be shipping out a Razr. They want to ship out another Bionic!

Starting to look like paying cancelation fees and heading to US cellular might be the best option!

Hey guys i got my update. But is it possible for your phone to drop sometimes in a place with no service or little?

I got the update too, but I haven't noticed improvement with Data. Seems worse. Maybe because I expected more out of this update.

How long ago did you do OTA? It seems like it takes awhile to settle in a day or two my phone ran like crap 1st couple days now its running perfect. I am keeping my fingers crossed though it has donbe that before. Good luck

Love the title of this thread. Makes me get the Queen song stuck in my head, "Another One Bites the Dust."

I can't wait to get rid of this Bionic paperweight. I have given it plenty of time to settle. And it eats through my battery like "Starvin Marvin" from South Park. And it still drops data like it's the redheaded step child. And it still will copy the last word in the text field, for example, when you are sending a text and hit "send" and the rotate from landscape to portrait. It did it with stock keyboards. But it mainly did it with and 3rd party keyboard app. And this isn't my first smart phone rodeo. And likewise, I cleared fmcache, uninstalled/reinstalled. Still does it. And I have had a few Bionics. All had the same signs and symptoms of a POS.

Hello, Firefighterguy,

I have had my Rezound for about 3 days now and I love it so far. It actually works! I went through 4 Bionics and finally I got the Rezound. I haven't had to pull the battery yet!
