Am I the only one who has sh*T for a signal?

[drew4392]

My RF performance went to sh*t, too. Sucks. My local VZW store said others with the Storm have been complaining about the same thing as well.

Just north of Philadelphia and I get 4 to 5 bars consistently.

I started looking at the bars when I was noticing really poor internet connectivity -- I kept getting errors when attempting to get to web sites and the reception on phone calls was not as good as my 8830.

My phone seems to stay around -110dBm to -116 dBm no matter where I am, and occasionally goes to around -93dBm. Is that good or bad?

Updated with *228 and no difference so far per suggestions in another thread.

This is in suburban NYC and suburban Philadelphia.

I would say mine is about the same as my previous phone. I did not switch carriers, and have had Verizon for about 4 years now. No problems here.

I got 4 and 5 bars all the time.

I normally have about 4 to 5 bars.

I don't think, in my case, it's the signal. There's something wrong with the radio. The signal is pretty consistently at -110dB. However, it won't stay on 1XEV. It keeps cycling through to EV, D, etc. I'm praying that the software updates fix this. I love my phone and don't have many of the other issues that others have been complaining about.

[atang79]

have you tried keeping it locked on 1XEV?

[jamesbecker1]

have you tried keeping it locked on 1XEV?

Yup. Also did *228, reinstalled OS, battery pulls, etc.

[slosekz]

I get service everywhere so far...except in my house tmobile doesnt work there but my ATT does lol

[DRLyman]

Mine stays right at -80dB. Never moves from there.

[RappAlarm]

What dB should the phone stay at to get good call quality?

[jamesbecker1]

I was hoping the update would fix it, but it didn't :-( I LOVE the storm but I think I might go to the Bold. I just can't see paying $100/month fora phone i can't even useinmy own home.
