Since updating to the OTA .246, I noticed when I boot up the logo no longer shows the dual core , it only shows the M ...
Every time I boot up, I lose my XDA shortcut on my home screen. What issues are others experiencing..
I had some weird data issues with wifi enabled. I would lose internet connection, but still have a white 4g/wifi icon showing a connected socket. Turned wifi off and no more problems. Haven't tried playing with it beyond that yet. It might have been a fluke.
Not sure if that was an issue in the leaks, as I never used wifi until very recently. I am grandfathered into an unlimited 4g data plan, so I rarely use wifi.

One thing I've noticed is that I get better battery life using wifi so I began using wifi more often while I'm at home. I have unlimited data also but like extending the battery. I'm a heavy user so battery life is important.

That's been my recent line of logic as well. I've confirmed my wifi is problematic though, and already covered it in another 246 thread, so won't crosspost it here.

I've not had any bugs, which may be due to the fact that I performed a Factory Data Reset as some suggested immediately after installing the update. Maybe try it?

You sure the data problem while wifi is running isn't the new Smart Actions app disabling the data?

Since update I have not experienced any problems or issues what so ever.
I have rooted .246 ICS on a safe side and CM10 JB on the unsafe side. There few issues on JB, but I don't really care. I am switching between ICS and JB routinely, depending on my desert cravings.

I've been having the same issues and I know it's not smart actions. I have smart actions set up perfect. I have a lot of data issues on wifi only.like for instance just nOw, trying to open the Play Store, I keep getting the notification 'background data needs to be enabled' and option to enable it, and it takes me to my accounts and sync page. I've had lots of data issues on wifi. Not to mention, my battery won't charge past 80%, there is a frame around my screen at all times that won't go away, and after I switched to Swype the notification in the bar keeps asking me to select my input method.

just wanting to know if anyone with legit wifi hotspot is having issues with staying connected. it seems i can only stay on a couple mins. then i have to manually restart the hotspot. plus, half the time, when i turn off the wifi hotpsot my phone reboots. the only success i have had is using usb tethering. flawless and fast. just not happy with other issues. anyone having the same things happening? Edit. Verizon said to try a couple things and if they don't work wee will try a new phone.
Anyone have this issue?
Was your phone previously rooted?

I had rebooting issues only when being rooted.
i'm having issues
I always have with wifi and the marektplace only. Don't know if that helps but I downloaded the superuser update from the marketplace and fixed my wifi for about half a day. It works on the internet fine so i don't think i've having the same issues as you mine only doesn't use wifi on the marketplace. Must be some binary thing.

Had the issue before rooting. Had issue after rooting too.
I had this issue when I unrooted my phone.
There were a few apps not working right and causing me problems after unrooting.
I backed up my apks, then did a factory reset selecting to format my internal media area.
I lost all my settings, but I never had that problem again.

Data Loss and Unthrottled
I did the .893/Th3ory V2.0 thing as soon as it was all available. I was one of the first to report that my data issues were greatly improved. Living in the country I could only test it with the wifi to 3G hand off and it was working great and reconnecting to 3G really quickly if not instantaneously. Well, I went to town today and checked the 3G to 4G hand off and it was terrible. I had to do the Airplane mode thing twice before I got 3G back!! I was so disappointed. And then tonight I did a nandroid backup and after rebooting I went to Root Explorer to rename it so I would know exactly what it represented. I was in the process of typing the name and adding that it was unthrottled and that's when it hit me. The only difference from when the data hand off was working to when it wasn't working was UNTHROTTLED. I had run the script. I immediately went to the script and ran the restore and rebooted. And by the way, that reboot took forever. I really thought I was caught in a loop. But after it rebooted, the immediate hand off from wifi to 3G was back!!! I know this is only one data point, but it working right now for me (again!!)!!
Go back into cheesecake and snag the 5.6.893 update. GREATLY improves radio. Haven't had a SINGLE drop since running it, plus I usually have full bars.
Of course, the standard procedure still exists (stock, bloated, etc) and I'm not responsible if you mess anything up.

I've yet to receive any update, but I've been losing data it seems almost daily. It sucks having to power down then restart, I always lose apps & have to reinstall them.

Move those apps from the Media Area back to the phone app storage area and they will stop disappearing.
I'm just curious if anyone else is having an issue with their data dropping out on a stock D3.
Sent from my Incredible 2 HD using Tapatalk
Mine has been fine. What ROM stock are you running? The very first ROM that Verizon released is buggy but doihg an update to 5.6.890 is a good idea.

I believe she is currently running that.
Sent from my ADR6350 using Tapatalk
Then you need to call Verizon Tech Support and tell them the exact issue from another phone besides the one ailing. A couple simple suggestions: do a *228 options 1 and 2, and make sure it is set to Home Only on roaming. Another possibility is the battery saver data manager is running and making it so it shuts off data during specific times and comes on when the screen is on. Make sure the wireless isn't set to Global but CDMA only.
Sent from my DROID3 using XDA App
We tried all of that. Thanks for the suggestions though. Nothing seems to work though. We just got this phone like a week ago because her other was doing the same thing. The new one did it while I was on the phone activating it lol. She's tired of it and I'm tired of hearing the complaints so I told her to sell it because she wants an iPhone.

When your data drops, when is it doing it? Is it just a random thing.

Its mostly when I leave my house I have wiring at home but when I leave I got to reboot to get data back on and it doesn't always do it either I was trying to root it to rum cm9 but can't get it rooted either but that kinda off topic

Does toggling airplane mode do anything?

My data drops more than ever on 902. They are random. I lost data three times yesterday. Restart connections from the market sometimes works. I factory reset and tried roms. On 901 I hardly got any drops. On 886 I had a bunch. 893 fewer. 902 is just as bad as 886 for me. Data saver is off. Luckily data doesn't go out for long.
Sent from my DROID BIONIC using Tapatalk
No airplane modes doesnt' do anything and yeah 901 was great never had a problem but now on 902 i am having issues again. If i go back to 901 can you do it without losing personal data and if so can you go back to 893 so i can root and then goto 901??
Im on 902 and I havent noticed a single power drop. Im stock build, but rooted.
Sent from my DROID BIONIC using xda premium
+1 on the 902 drops. Seems more frequent than any other version..
I was on. 893 and had maybe 2 data drops over a month. Simce updating to .902 my data drops nearly every ten minutes without fail.
Sent from my DROID BIONIC using XDA App
On .893 stock rooted and Eclipse i had very few problems with data. Seemed like more of just a minute or two hang ups. Now on .902 stock rooted I seem to just randomly lose data from anywhere from 30 seconds to 10 mins. Haven't tried any "quick fixes" yet because it generally returns some what quickly. Just frustrating to have an update magnify what was once a barely noticeable annoyance.
Now are any of u guys have the issue where it shows u have data but the 3g is white and nuttin works the progress ring just sits there and spins but nuttin downloads or nuttin happens?? This again is on 902 unrooted

Yep. Generally goes white 4g white 3g then either nothing or my 4g picks back up. Use wifi when I can but I have unlimited data n 4g is generaly at least twice as fast as my wifi.
So I thought I'd give an update that might help some others I rolled back to 901 and rooted and now I have no problems expect a weird bug with not being able to send pic msgs no matter what update or ROM I'm on

I am on my 6th Droid Bionic from Verizon?? Honestly both Verizon & Motorola's updates have in my opinion done nothing to improve the data dropping problems, and I to have had more 3g & 4g data drops since the .902 update and completely random?

I had same problem. The wifi turns off 2 seconds after I turn the wifi on. I did factory reset. After the reset, it seems it solve the problem but I had other issues so I did an exchange since it was with in 14 days of the purchase. I don't have that problem with the new HD.
Try doing factory reset....

I'm having the exact same problem. Mine will connect for a period of time then just starts a wifi boot loop, as I would describe it. It tries to connect endlessly and won't unless I'm right next to the router. A factory reset didn't fix it either.

I never accepted the at&t wifi app agreement, so it was never running, but still had the same issue. It seems better now that its forced to 2.4ghz. I still have range issues. my Atrix 4G would show two bars of signal where the Atrix HD connects and disconnects constantly. Its like i have to be sitting right in front of the router to stay connected.

Wow, that's cool. Didn't move, switched to 2.4 only and my signal strength doubled and my speed seems noticeably better.
Now if this helps from oovoo and Skype constantly disconnecting life will be good. To be fair the inspire is also disconnecting at random too.
I had this problem as well - it dropped if my wi-fi was 2 bars or so, and it seemed to fluctuate. Tried the 2.4 only mode and it seemed to help a little, but I still lost connection frequently at only 2 bars. It would drop and look like wi-fi restarted and then connect again at 3 bars.

I took the phone back to costco and got a new one. The phone rep connected the new phone to his wifi. I walked to the other side of the warehouse and never lost connection. Came home and the phone has not disconnected once. Must have been a hardware issue.
