Droid Turbo with bad signal

I bought a Droid Turbo on Thursday and can't even keep the phone battery for one day. When looking at battery stats it shows that it is rarely getting a good mobile signal. All other devices in the house keep a great mobile signal and have smaller batteries that are lasting much longer. The db readings on the Turbo are often 10-15 higher (higher is worse) than the older devices. Is anyone else having similar issues?

There's issues with the phone, and I would say it was from the update that came out shortly after or before the phone was released I don't know if that update is the cause of the issue sounds like if could be.. there is an update coming when I'm not exactly for sure but one is coming the issue I'd say your seeing is because Verizon is rolling out voLTE sometime by the end of this month or shortly there after.. if you can wait the time for it to be released..

Here is a Post I done on the issue Follow the Link.. This is an Ouchie.. for the new Droid Turbo.!

I'm going to redo this and say.! There have been many issues with the phone an update came out and I don't know if it is the root cause its hard to say many customers / members are having issues with the phone.. There is an update coming in the near future supposedly by the end of the month but it could linger out longer Hopefully for all customers that have this phone it comes out soon.!

But the main issue and the one your seeing is how the change was made in how the phone reads the Network because of the voLTE the phone cannot do Voice and Data at the same time, There's also an issue one's are seeing with the Wi-Fi part of the phone as well..

Here is a Post I wrote using the phone Simultaneously.. This is an Ouchie.. for the new Droid Turbo.!

I have the same issue. My house is in a marginal area, but my wife's note 4 gets much stronger signal. I have had 4 calls go straight to vm. Too bad. I thought moto had the best radios. Looks like I'll be returning the turbo.

drkatt, we don't want you to miss any calls. However, service can be challenging indoors. How's your service when you leave your residence on that new phone?

I've had my Turbo since October 31. I have the updated software and I'm not having any of the problems that you are. I would take the phone back and try to get a replacement.

Good suggestion.!

Try Switching between Global and LTE/CDMA mode. Once i got the Advanced Calling update I saw a HUGE improvement in Bandwidth and also in Signal Strength
