Signal Bounce - X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Have moto x 2014 for about a week and I'm noticing that the cell phone signal sometimes drops to nothing and calls go straight to vm. Other times I attempt to make a call and I notice almost no signal so call doesn't complete. Since didn't happen with moto x 2013. I've had to constantly go in and out of airplane mode to resolve issue.
Anybody else notice this?

[HELP]My Nexus One Drop Call

this is my 2nd day ...i try to google the solution ?i guess is hardware problem?
my n1 cannot barely call...each time call the connection will end it after few second...or else it will be fine after 1 -2 hour...can make call and etc...after that the phone start back to normal the signal is full bar but just end it automatically

Call drops as soon as new call comes in

I'm having a problem with my phone, probably 80% of the time, where whenever I receive a phone call while on a current call, the phone will end the first call and allow me to hang up or answer the second call. This is extremely frustrating as I work from my phone and speak at least 5,000 minutes a month if not more.
The phone is completely stock, call waiting is enabled on stock settings, I have disabled wifi calling, and I have at least 3 bars of LTE or HSPA+ when this occurs. I got a new sim card when I got the phone too so I don't believe that to be the problem. I am not sure why it happens sometimes and not others, but I am desperately needing a solution. Being on hold for thirty minutes with a utility company is bad enough, imagine waiting 30 minutes just to be cut off by another call less than a minute in.
Also, while I am here, I am noticing that touch sensitivity is significantly lower than it was on my s5. It's taking me sometimes two or three touches for it to register. Are there any hidden settings that could increase touch sensitivity? I am not against having to root to improve any of these two things.
Thanks

Wifi Shutting on when scrren off

I have a Nexus 6, flashed with the 6.0 factory image.
I have my wifi set to always on (for tmobile calling). After then screen locks it shuts wifi off. This is great for my battery but bad for my staying connected. At work cell coverage is spotty and without wifi always on I can get 30min + delay in getting text/calls. This has caused a few problems with my boss thinking im off screwing around and ignoring him.
Anyone else notice this? or have a way to keep wifi always on.
My wifi randomly drops since I updated to 6.0. It is annoying. I am not sure if it is tied to the screen shutting off or not.
Yeah it's getting supper annoying. I'm at wits end with it. Might flash back to 5
Probably it is related to this bug: https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=188909
When I turned off my WiFi, it was still running, showed in the battery history detail. It was OFF, so I expect it's also OFF there. But it's not OFF. Although today, I don't have that problem.
So please STAR that bug to get more attention.
Have you all tried HellsCore kernel with the "old" WiFi drivers that he built? Apparently it resolved issues for people.
Happen to have a link? Had hoped to stay stock for awhile but ATM its killing me.

After software update, "OK Google Now" beeps even when in silent mode.

I discovered to my chagrin during a class on Wednesday that if the Moto X thinks it heard the activation phrase, the Moto Voice software will beep, ding, and doop even though the phone itself is in silent mode - no notifications. This is a new issue, but now means I have to completely shut my phone off if I actually want it to be quiet.
Can anyone else confirm this behavior? It's running Android 6.0 and Moto Voice 8.1.15.1. It's pretty obnoxious given that it takes ~3-5 minutes for the phone to boot. This version of Moto Voice claims to have been updated back on January 19th, but I've never noticed this before -- maybe it's something else? Or maybe it's just usually in a situation that I don't notice?
Super curious if this is somehow just my phone, but that seems super unlikely.

cell tower issues

My grandfauther has a droid turbo, and as of late it has been dropping calls, not reciving them, and not able to send calls out, plus the battery is getting really bad. Is rooting this and installing twrp going to help me in any way?

A lot of Droid Turbo batteries are going bad as the phone was released in late 2014. Even over in the custom ROM threads that's a common complaint, about phone shutting off even with 50% battery supposedly showing. There are battery replacements you can buy and YouTube videos showing how to do it. But it's not for the faint of heart. If you try to do it yourself you can mess up something internally, like the temperature sensor.
Rooting and installing TWRP will get you more current security updates and features with a custom ROM, but won't necessarily solve call sending/receiving or battery issues. A factory reset might solve the calls issue.
