trying to resurrect my og Droid for a friend. finally got it re rooted and flashed cm7. but the wifi and blutooth dont work. this is an issue i had long ago when the tbolt came out. while prepping this phone to be sale worthy i was trying to bring it back to stock and may have deleted something important.
So, here is what it does: turn on wifi, "turning on wifi", "scanning"........"turning off wifi"....repeat....repeat. the blue tooth: "turn on bluetooth"(click)..nothing......"turn on bluetooth". any ideas?
Found the problem. It was the battery the whole time. Switched batteries and WiFi signal is strong and steady. The other battery did show signs that is had gotten wet. Not sure how that matters
But I hope this helps someone

My first full day at work today and my bionic kept dropping 3g service all day.
I came from the thunderbolt and never had that issue.
I hope this was just a fluke.
I've also had 3 calls go straight to Voice mail at home. My phone never rang.
I hope this isn't a habit. I've already sold my bolt.
Anyone have these issues?
If I have to take it back, I'm not sure what phone to go to.
I picked it up last Friday. Got a little time left.

I've read a few are having 3G connectivity issues. Why not try another Bionic and see if it solves your issue? If not I would move to different phone then
Sorry I posted in the wrong section.
Please move to the general section.
I might take it back tomorrow. See how it acts.
Problem is, what phone to switch too if this one doesn't work out.

Wait a month and see what the HTC Vigor has in store. Droid HD might be on the horizon in time for the holiday season for big red? Or wait longer (who knows how long maybe even next year) for the Prime. Or wait till spring 2012 they'll be even faster phones out. round and round you go
Try disabling LTE. I had this issue, until I disabled LTE. What I am basically seeing, is that LTE is coming to my area, and something is getting picked up.
Or it is just 3G being a problem.
Settings -> Wireless & network settings -> Mobile networks -> Network Mode -> CDMA Only.
I had it set that way when it happened. I actually switched it back to see what would happen.
I'll see what happens tomorrow. I hope it was just a network issue for the day.
I can't be turning the phone on and off all day just to get 3g.

Also, try a wipe before you do end up returning it. That resolved the same type of issue I had on my DX1.
Well it's happening again today. 3g drops and then I have to restart my phone.
How do you do a wipe?
I've already did a battery pull.
I switched to 3G only. Still drops.
Any ideas?

I havnt lost 3g or 4g what i think you might be talking about is: 3g is dropping when the bionic is actually on a call. So no internet when your making a call. what Ive also noticed is that if I'm in a 4g area I will get a 4g connection when im on a call, But it goes in and out. I suspect on the update that comes out or a leak it will be fixed. I'm sure it will be fixed quick being its a major issue/problem. If you think back I bet you just got off a call when you noticed the 3g has dropped. I was on a call for a couple hours last night and my 3g wasnt coming back so i did a reboot and she came back. Small little issue that im sure will be fixed soon. Thats the only problem ive had with the phone, The Bionic is 5o times better the the Tbolt and thanx the cell gods im away from HTC Sense.
No, I wasn't on a call. I just turned it on and there was no 3G. Woke it from a sleep, not totally off.
Yesterday it happened 4 times.
Only once since 5AM today.
Maybe it's getting better.
Lol

Which battery saver mode are you in? I've had some issues with anything but "performance" mode that might or might not be directly correlated to my mobile connectivity issues. Check and see
I've been on performance since I got the phone.
Only one drop so far today.
I hope it continues to get better.

Correction - My friend just told me that Verizon does not have date on a call. Two things though, I could have sworn that I had data on a call with my Tbolt. Also If ur in a 4g area I noticed that you will get data its just will go off and on.
The thunderbolt is capable of simultaneous voice and data, even on 3G, but the bionic is not.

I am also having this problem. If Motorola still used vanilla android this wouldn't be an issue. I hate when manufacturers feel it necessary to fix something that isn't broke. I am sad to see how many people are experiencing this problem because if it was isolated to my phone and a few others then a warranty replacement would do the trick. I now feel like I wasted 380 on phone and accessories. I placed a call to Verizon tech support and their as clueless as usual. I hope an update is released soon that fixes this issue (or a custom rom). I remain hopeful that we start seeing good things on our Motorola devices now that google owns moto.
NOTE: I wish people would start reading through existing threads before starting new ones. I started a thread to this effect back on day 3. Several others have started threads to this effect as well. I think there are now 4 or 5 on this very same subject.

Hey I had a connection problem that seems to have been resolved by going to settings then battery, then change the powersave options to performance. See if it helps.

also having data drop about 5 to 6 times a day
Agreed my 3G has dropped several times in a day will experiment once I get back into my regular area.
Right now I am in a rural town of Lovell Wyoming once I get to SLC I will try again.

Is anyone having GPS problems with the bionic?
I have found two issues. This happens when I place the phone into the car dock, and try to navigate:
1) The phone is unable to lock on to the GPS receiver when I try to navigate. I have left it searching for 20 minutes on several occasions, and still no lock.
2) The second, and more worrying problem is that the phone will lose service (call & data) while the GPS tries to lock, and when I try to exit, or even if I let the phone continue to try to lock on to a GPS receiver, the phone will reboot itself randomly.
Is this universal, or should I exchange my phone?
I have already exchanged it once. Will the shop allow it again? I purchased the original phone one week ago, and have had this one since Tues(3 days ago).
Thanks for any advice.
I've had no problems with my Bionic, GPS and the car mount, other than really preferring the 2.2 car mode app I had on my OG Droid - which is now on my Bionic as well thanks to Titanium Backup
I've seen some reports of some radio issues on specific Bionics; I forget which major-ish site had a problem where it would cycle 4G -> 3G -> no data -> 4G repeat, killing the battery life, then a replacement worked like a charm.
I've never had a phone that locked GPS as quickly and reliably as the Bionic. Even inside the house near a window. GPS may not work if you're not getting a cell signal.
GPS
I've had 2 instances in the week since I got my Bionic where GPS would not lock onto my location. In both cases I rebooted the phone and got an immediate lock. Was on a day long roadtrip yesterday using the the Bionic in the car dock and Google Nav worked flawlessly.
Not sure what's up with the occasional burp but I'm keeping an eye on it.
Thanks for the info. I just rang support and they are sending a new one overnight. Hopefully the third time is a charm.

Gotta be a hardware problem. This GPS is ridiculously fast, especially coming from a Captivate.

I agree. No other phone I've owned would lock to GPS this quickly.

Finally
Big difference with the replacement. This one locks quickly and does not reboot or lose data connectivity when connected to GPS.
I was worried for a minute the.
There are some seriously poor quality control issues with the Bionic.
Thanks.
I wonder if it's because they rushed it out

So, it seems my Bionic has serious issues connecting to LTE. When I first got it, I got 4G all the time, without issue. Then after about a week, it started only connecting to 3G even though I had LTE enabled and I know it is in my area. Around the same time I started having battery issues where it would drain in about half a day when mostly idle. At this point I had done very little to the phone, hadn't rooted, and only installed a handful of apps. Well, when unleashed 1.3 came out, I decided to root and flash that to see if it would fix my issues. On first bootup, I only had 3G still, so I rebooted, and finally, I had 4G LTE back! Well, I stupidly decided to install LTE Switch and turn off 4G when I wasn't using it. The problem is, now when I turn LTE back on, it only connects to 3G again. Hasn't connected to 4G again since that first day when 1.3 was released. Rooting and calibrating my battery has fixed the battery issue for the most part, but I still feel like my battery doesn't last as long as it used to or as long as others on the forum claim. I am unsure if I got a lemon (I didn't buy on release day but a little less than a week after), especially because I have had ZERO random reboots or other problems. Phone runs buttery smooth except for the 3G only and subpar battery life... Any ideas? Anyone have the stock modems that I can flash to see if that fixes things?

Did a full restore of the Stock FXZ and LTE is working again. Just installed Unleashed 1.3 and still getting 4G. Hopefully it stays that way. Thanks mistawolfe.
lte is like the best out, right?
Having the same issues at times. rebooting fixes it. But it is annoying.

Next time it happens, open your dialer, dial *#*#INFO#*#* and select phone info, scroll down, and click turn radio off, then click it again to turn it back on. It doesn't solve the problem, but might save you a reboot or reflash.
Careful what you mess with in that menu, I'm not sure what everything does.
Swyped from my Droid Bionic, unless I was in landscape, in which case I Swiftkeyed the hell out of it.
When my revo turns on it talks and says loss of service and then seconds later the voice comes again and says Verizon wireless. As well as when I make a phone call. Before it goes through the voice says Verizon wireless and then begins to ring. Anyone else have this happening or know how to fix it? I'm not on any custom roms nor have I rooted this phone yet.
Mine did that for one whole day about 2 months ago then stopped. Don't know why though.

Any idea what you might have done to stop it. Its been doing it for a few days and its making me a little crazy
Ok so i've had a number of issues with my Atrix HD but i refuse to get a new phone. About 2 months ago the lcd (not the outer glass) broke and while replacing it i may have damaged the battery (slightly). My phone wouldnt turn on for about 2 weeks and one day , POOF, it turns on. All was good for a month till i dropped it and it just turned off. 2 weeks later we're here and after mass looping and rebooting i get it to turn on only to find out it turns off when i take it off the charger. Can someone please help me fix this? is there hope for my phone? or should i try getting a new battery and replacing it with my current one?
THANK YOU!
Open up the phone and check the battery connections. By dropping your atrix that could easily shake something up or break a connection somewhere. Just check all the connections in the phone. YouTube can show you how to open up your atrix, there is also a screen replacement guide in atrix HD general that'll show you how to open the phone correctly.
