Motorola DROID 2 signal issues mount in reviews, Apple tries hard to hide a smirk
Share:
Now before Apple comes up with a video titled “I told you so”, more users have to report the same problem. Considering that the handset just started shipping, it could be a few more days before the issue is confirmed for certain, so we will keep our ears open. In the meantime, our hearts go to the early adopters, and we are asking you to post any impressions about the antenna signal, in case you are expecting a DROID 2 on your doorsteps today.

This seems to make sense, I got my Droid 2 the day it came out and battery life has been absolutely abismal. My guess would be firmware as opposed to an antenna issue since I have a case around it, so there's no contact there.

Oh no, brace yourselves. Hopefully this is just a firmware issue. That would suck if it was like the iPhone. I don't think apple will come out with a "I told you so" video. I mean we all want to believe they would want to, but I think they currently have enough shit to take care of themselves rather than point fingers. I know they did already, but there musta been something to get them to took down those videos, like everyone started believing that the problem was real. Anyway, hopefully there's some fix for the prob.

True that, they do. The lawsuit from oricle {Spellcheck offline}. The java folks. The engineer incharge of iphone engineering quitting or should I say fired over the iphone 4 fiasco. They have enough headaches of there own.

I think its the testers. They don't really test, they just show off what new phone they have. Testers that verizon use are idiot execitives that don't even know how to use a phone.

Wow, who let this guy out? So you really think they have suits working around the clock twiddling thunbs waiting till 5pm so they can punch out, and not test the phone...Are you kidding? Obviously there are network specialists, obviously they are testing the phone "As close" to real world situation as possible. The other thing, dont act like you wouldnt have opted early to receive this device if it had a few software bugs but mostly good. I know most people in here would just to get their hands on one.

Really that sounds more like Apple to me. There more money hungry then anyone. You cant insure your iphone so if you damage yours can you say full price to replace it cha ching says the cash register. If you say the testers were poor, well sounds like they are the same ones Apple used to test the iphone 4.

actually if anything, android phone from htc, samsung and motorola are getting pushed out like crazy. There is a new one every week. They need to slow things down a bit and take their time.

Could be either or. However, unlike a fundamental design flaw like the Iphone problems, it's probably a defect on either end, just like the X screens. Either way, it'll probably be fixed, and I doubt Motorola will need a news conference to do it.

I hope it's software, although just a defective batch means I can take mine in for a replacement.

Oh well, Moto should work on 2.2 for the X before they work on the 2.

Oh yeah, let Motorola work on porting 2.2 to a working phone while the rest of the early Droid 2 adopters sit around and wait for a fix to the signal/battery issue. Not very smart.

Motorola is not just one goofy bastard siting in a room working on stuff. They probably have teams on each phone untill they move on to the next phone. Each problem is guaranteed being worked on at the same time

Im currently experiencing this connection issue. :( Pandora cant make it through one song without having to stop and wait to re-gain cellular connection. My internet connect drops pretty freqently too.....I seriously hope its just a firmware upgrade thats needed.

I haven't tried using Pandora yet, how's your battery life? I can't get through an entire work day if I use the internet/text as much as I did with my LG ENV TOUCH. I know it's not a fair comparision, but we're not even saying I "squeeked" by the day, it's more of a 12pm the phone is dead.

I'm having a crap ton of issues on my Droid 1 after uping to version 2.2. It's got to be software, right?
