Is anyone else having problems with Signal Strength ? I had zero bars standing next to a Verizon Storm with 5 Bar's. Yes I did the *228 routine and tried a battery pull. I googled this last night and saw a lot of complaint's
I have seen the same problem. Laying right next to a Moto Droid that has 4 bars I have one. I will say though I have not seen that it is affecting call quality or missing calls.
the bars are inaccurate. it's an issue. did you have a signal when it only showed one and the storm showed 5? because MANY of the complaints later realize that t may only show 2 bars, but the quality was just fine. there are legitimate issues with the signal strength on some though. there are very advanced settings you can play with that improves it on some. (dial ## 778 and select edit mode......type the password 000000.....go to cdma settings....change your home page, home orig, and roam orig to "evrc-b" when you exit select commit changes. this is changing the type of signal the phone is searching for. if you are in an area that doesn't supports evrc-b, then your quality will be noticeably poor, so you'll need to go throught this and change it back to evrc. but if the towers in your area suppot evrc-b, it is much stronger signal and quality. KEEP THESE INSTRUCTIONS if you're going to try this so you can change it back if you find yourself in an area that it's not supported.)
Wow. I am in the Northeast, 9 Miles outside NYC. I had no bars and did not receive texts that people sent me standing next to me texting from a Blackberry Storm with 5 bars. Not sure if I should thry changing settings but might have to try it ?
If you are in an area where EVRC-B is not available, you will not here ANYTHING at all.
Verizon Tech Support First said the never heard of this. On to Advanced Tech Support that said it is a problem on a FEW phones.They are sending me a new one, Which I had to pay for again and they will re imburse me when I mail the old one(2 weeks old) back. Also, I have to go to the back of the line on the waiting list again because they are sending me a new one.
I'm **bleep** !
