Motorola does not have better radios than anyone else. They may choose to prioritize antenna design but it's not like every Motorola ever made is better than every Samsung. That is just fanboy-ism and narrow-mindedness at its best.

So I have been monitoring my Settings>About>Status> Mobile Network State and it is always "disconnected" while in my office and I have a signal dB fluxuating around -70 to -80 also it says mobile network type is CDMA -eHRPD. I seem to not be able to even get a 1x data connection. Now when I sent a test text it acutally changes to connecting and the signal boost up and changes to "Connecting". Does the Bionic throttle the connection to say battery if its not being used? I would just be a lot happier if I constantly had 1x reported in my office.
What are the chances that any other phones will have better or worse radios? I thought motorola always had better connections/reception than say Samsung or HTC, what are you alls thoughts on that?
Thanks

I get only 3g at my house, although the rep from vz.com told me there's 4g in my area and the verizon map shows my neighborhood as 4g.
anything to attract business, I guess.
what's the number to call to try and improve your cell phones connection? sorry, I forgot. TIA
Go to settings. Administrator. And check the box next to admin notifier and then check your reception. Mine went from no signal in the office to 3g with 4 bars.
Sorry. Its under location and security.
I am, or was, having similar issues. I got my Bionic on the 8th. For the first couple of days signal strength was terrible. At least half a dozen times I got a message that I had no network connection. Turning off LTE made no difference. I turned on my old phone (Droid Incredible) and it showed a similar poor signal strength. This poor signal strength showed up in multiple locations. Then for the last three days signal strength has been at or near full bars no matter where I traveled (around Denver). This may not make sense but I'm wondering if this wasn't a Verizon issue somehow. At home where I previously lost the signal several times I now consistently get full bars at 4G. Like another poster I did get my phone from Costco but I find it hard to believe that Costco phones would be any different from phones purchased directly from Verizon. I'm hoping this problem doesn't return because I really like this phone and don't want to return it.
