- experienced flaky radio/signal on latest official OS .862 ...who's downgrading & to what build?
Thinkin of downgrading to .656.
ALSO do u WIPE device down to '507 error' before downgrading?
Thnk u
PS...excellent battery life on .862 (best I've seen) but seems its at the cost of signal strength...

I as well as others (see stickied thread on .862) have seen 3G bars drop off (me personally at nite more so) & even seen it dip into EDGE & GPRS ...that NEVER happened with stock os .405 all in the same locations.
I'm on ATT in New Jersey.

- I had issues when I first installed .862, I figured something went wrong during the install. With the help of the wonderful people here I did a full memory wipe then clean install and my battery life was greatly improved, as was signal (I live in the sticks, signal hasn't been an issue since the reinstall) Couldn't be happier with the build!08-09-10 05:13 PMLike 0

release (.602). I stopped chasing every "new and improved" OS long ago.08-09-10 05:44 PMLike 0 - It may not be the OS. I have the luxury of 4 9700s inmy possession all running 862. :-)
Only one device is doing this with all 4 about a foot apart leading me to think radio in the device vs OS or network. Do the other devices show a drop in signal at certain locations? Yes but only one drops to EDGE and a few minutes later returns to 3G. The others all stay on 3G.
Downgrade, NEVER. Warranty exchange the suspect device - maybe.
I may even do my first hybrid with the 656 or 593 radio load.

For those wanting to downgrade, I would highly recommend .714. It has been Very stable and the battery life is amazing.08-09-10 06:40 PMLike 0 - experienced flaky radio/signal on latest official OS .862 ...who's downgrading & to what build?

I had the signal lost after the upgrading but, I have been playing with it and now is very stable.
I hope your issue goes away.
Regards to all from San Diego!08-09-10 10:23 PMLike 0 - i think those signal issue was for at&t only on 862 in NY Metro area, I'm running this OS since leak version was out like a week or so ago and signal issue i have only on weekends, that makes me think at&t is working somewhere, today my signal stayed strong on 5 bars and never moved from there even in my basement office, I'm happy.08-09-10 10:45 PMLike 0
- I like the build so far, Is any body missing the manage internet email icon? I probably need to relaod the software again with a clean install because I was lazy the first time and just upgraded to it.
I like it other than that.08-09-10 11:55 PMLike 0 - What a coincidence that I found this thread. I've been running 862 since the day it leaked with no issues. However, about an hour ago I had a hiccup in signal. Dropped to edge, then GSM! My wife's 9000 dropped to edge. Both of us were in my living room. Both on at&t. After about ten minutes of me muttering WTF, signal bounced right back to strong 3G on both phones. Go figure.
Now one other thing is that my volume controls for music/video hesitates. Any ideas on that?
