First thing's first - I can honestly say I love this phone. I've had it for almost 2 months now and have never had a complaint... Sure, the signal doesn't always look good on the bars, but I've yet to drop a call and reception has always been good .... I thought...
Two days ago I noticed that under the battery consumption it showed that I was without signal 92% of the day while in the office. I had never been told that anyone was unable to get me on the cell until I asked around after that. Slews of people said they call me but it always rolls to voicemail.
I did at least 2 dozen test calls yesterday and what I'd say that it was alarming at best when only two of those calls actually rang through.
When I got home I watched the signal meter closely and reset the % of time without signal by fully charging the battery. At home I have 3 bars consistently. Come 9PM, which was about 3 hours off the charger, I was without signal 58% of the time. Again, I asked around to my usual callers - four people had tried to call me and all went to voicemail. I severely questioned that, until I called my voicemail and each of them had left messages - and I had not received a voicemail waiting indicator.
SO...
All of that having been said - is it any better with CM7 ? The phone is rooted and ready to play, but I am hesitant to install a pre-beta build on the phone when I depend on it for work.
Thanks so much for any feedback!
If you want a better phone, install b_randon14's mod. I wouldn't recommend cyanogenmod quite yet.

I have the same problem. My girlfriend tried to call me when she was getting harassed by 3 drunk college students. Never rang. From the times I have checked my battery usage, it never said anything about not having a signal. Would b_randon's MOD fix this issue?
Edit: I take it back, just took a look and it said 86%

Well never mind my suggestion, looks like the mod was pulled. Data with the phone has never been perfect exactly, but that mod was theoretically meant to improve on those things. You'll probably have to ask b_randon14 himself whether it'll be re-uploaded in full or in part...

Have you guys checked out GrooveIP. It fully integrates with GV and when I am at work and home I switch it to WiFi and never miss a call.

Not really an option for me... When I'm at work, our wireless network here requires EAP-FAST, which is not available for Android. I've got a way to connect in, ONLY if I bring in my Win7 laptop with me, and that's using an app called Connectify that turns my laptop into a WiFi router, then again, I'm a slave to the network nazis here in the office. They have the ports here locked down - HARD.

Not sure yet. Don't even know what base roms are available for this phone yet. Don't even know if there's a 2.3.x available for this. Still too new. But, probably going to be based on official firmware for the triumph.

Right now the only 2.3 ROM available is the pre-alpha CM7...
That having been said, this phone's GSM cousin has a 2.3 ROM available from it's carrier, but I'm sure it would take a TON of work to re-work that into something we could use.
Finally got around to taking a screen capture of the miserable amount of no signal that I get...
I apologize for the crappy screen cap - guess DroCap2 doesn't like this phone!

Its gone, todays radio made the phone even worse for me, always had a crap signal to begin with but it got almost unusable after the update, i was gonna get a charge but......the store said they have moved back the date to a TBA again, he also said they bionic has been cancelled, i was left with no option but to go back with the iphone, i almost went with a galaxy S, but ive had one of those upto getting my TB and didnt really wanna go back to something i had already had..
To sum it up, the TB is a great device that lacks the testing it required, it seems to have been rushed out with horrific battery life even with custom roms its still crap for heavy users, and poor signal..
Ill buy one again if they get there crap together and fix the obvious faults, but until Verizon releases a good dual core android im gonna have to stick with what i know.
Cool story, bro.
cool story bro, tell me again with subtitles.
I don't notice any change after the update

Yikess......not sure where you live, but I get fantastic 4 g everywhere in Chicago, have had 2-3 random reboots since I bought on day 1 (which could be less that the reboots on my Dinc), and get reasonable battery life, best phone I have yet to own.
Not to crap on your post , but I took my ip4 back because of bad service. My TB will hold service where the ip4 wouldn't. I will take service over battery anyday.

Interesting.... You took it back, after being rooted and applying the update (that's what your other post said) sounds like someone may have messed up...
I just had 4G turned on in my city (Sacramento) a few minutes ago.. I've had the phone for a while and it rocks!!!.. I am surprised you've had so many issues with your phone.

Yeah and at least you can change the battery when it dies.. You can't even do that with the iPhone, what a great "feature". Two batteries and a stand alone charger only cost $10 on eBay. Besides I get over a day of battery anyways. I think the real problem existed between the phone and the ground...
I've loved my TB since day 1 and have no problems with it other than a slow to find me GPS. I love this phone and would have to agree that the problems for many seems to be between the phone and the ground. Rooted with DasBAMF 1.6.3 FTW!

From what I've heard it won't be Sense 3.0 either. The only thing i think can really be improved is the crazy battery drain the GB roms suffer from. Everything else (to me of course) is golden now. Thank god so many great developers have the same phone as me haha!

I honestly hope it won't be Sense 3.0. That is one huge thing keeping me away from gb roms. 3.0 turns android into sense and it loses its identity I feel. I think 3.0 is just too much...

I didn't like it when we first started getting roms based on it as well (it was so choppy), but now that they're smooth and almost bug-free, I love the transitions. Oh well, to each his own.
If they went through all the effort and bandwidth for this last ota fix update... I wouldn't hold your breath for a quick GB release... Its sad they should have skipped it and just pounded out GB IMO. That is just my thoughts.

There is no difference between froyo and GB when it comes to battery life. If you leave data on (4G) then you're going to suffer in terms of battery no matter what rom you're on.
Just turn off mobile data when you're not using it.

Htc has already stated that single core phones will not be getting sense 3.0.
Here's a screeny from the other day. Notice how I was on Wifi for a good amount of time, but also my signal was poor all day long as well. Disabling mobile data goes a long way trust me.

I'm talking about the fact that I personally didn't need to do that with froyo like I do with GB roms. I also turn of my mobile data when I'm not using it, and it doesn't bother me at all (wouldn't go back to froyo if you put a gun to my head). I get about the same results as you with turning off my mobile data when I'm not using it, I just got the same results with froyo with 4g on all the time. My 2 cents.
I've heard that GB won't be released until maybe around Christmas. I'm in VA & also heard that LTE won't be here until as well. Any insights to any of this? Would greatly appreciate any info.

I am in roaming n didn't opt for the 3g plan, technically leaving me on edge all through.
Attaching below, I want to show how awesome the battery life is on edge. Hopefully this will give more reasons for our devs to work on enabling 2g/3g toggle in roms.
2.5 days standby with ~1 hour display n ~40 mins calls, battery is at 51%.
Standby drain is at 1% per ~3 hours. Compare this to 1% per hour when on 3g/h in US.

The point here was abt the standby drain in edge, esp for users in travel like me who don't use data 24/7 n use only in intervals. Plus this is with frequent times in areas with low signal.
More importantly, an hour of calls now takes abt 6-7% battery, compared to 10-12% when on H.

Even though you're in a roaming zone, it's still scanning WCDMA bands unless you did something

Nice one U see, I am in India now on vacation. I can opt for 3G at a slightly higher cost, or stick to edge. Since its only mails n xda stuff mainly, I decided not to take the 3g plans.
By the way, I am on prepaid n paying $1 and 20 cents for a 1 GB plan with 15 days validity. 2GB plan with 30 days validity is abt $2 and 20 cents. Saying this just for sake of cost comparision. I think 3g plans for the same are about $1 more than those on edge.

Really? I fond the dead areas amazing with this LG. I had a Bold 9700 before this one, and when I used the subway for 2-3 hours everyday, and in the school labs for another 2 hours, the battery would last for a day and a half with no usage at all. My LG doesn't seem affected by that at all.

Keep in mind, we don't actually have the galaxy s 2, we have the skyrocket version, plus we have att's draconian certification process to get through. I'd love to see it on that date but I'll believe it when I see it.

Actually, with AT&T already giving the Vivid the ICS update, I'd say that this could be pretty realistic.
At least we know if it doesn't come soon, it's not AT&T, it's Samsung.
ICS has not been released for the Vivid. That is someone talking out of turn (a dedicated tester or volunteer tester). That realease would be all over Android Central and our website.

Yeah, and why are they able to check for updates, and get it?

Love how they mention that leaked roms from Samsung are showing signs of progress. My question is, WHERE ARE THE ICS LEAKS FOR THE SKYOCKET?!?
When I had my Captivate we were getting new gingerbread leaks almost every day for several months. Who do we need to talk to to get some leaks for us? Anyone know???

Oh, and had to hit the thanks button on Fortune and Silver's posts above. Needed a good laugh!

How do over the air updates with AT&T's work? Isn't just a pop-up box you can cancel or are they forced or what? I rooted my mom's phone but left in stock. Not sure what to expect.

It gives you a notification saying you have an update available, if you want to install it or not, is your choice.
Sometimes you'll even get a text informing you that your phone has an update available.
Another question for the updates, is it only for carrier sold phones? I bought mine at the US but I'm at Israel and I still haven't received the 2.3.6 update.
Very good news, will open development of some nice ROM's. Maybe it will keep me from flashing once or twice a week.
I doubt it. We'll see though, hopefully they surprise.

To throw my two cents in, the fact that SGSII international is getting it soon and supposedly Vivid is getting it now is a good sign for us.
However, I really don't like TouchWiz's overlay of ICS. To me one of the main features of ICS was a revamped and slick look. TouchWiz 4 just kills that. So what do I, personally (and anyone who feels the same) have to look foward to with ICS?
This is coming from an Android noob btw, so if there was extra features besides the FaceUnlock *useless imo* and sleek UI please enlighten me.

The real benefit will be the Kernel getting into the hands of the Devs. In time, they will do many thing with it including a non-Touchwiz version ROM.

From what I understand ICS is completely redone. There are alot of new code and things done different from previous versions of Android. I can understand why nothing has really been released yet. I know there is a couple versions of ICS over in the development section but there are very few things that work.
