How wide spread are these issues. I'm on my 3rd phone now and a side from an annoying dead pixel my phone still fades in and out while on voice calls to the point where I can't even catch a full conversation sometimes. Also drops calls.
The OTA did not help the problem one bit.
Is this something that will be/could be fine tuned? I've read the nexus never had a good radio compared to "other" phones.
As much as I like this g2 I can't have the poor voice quality issues.

For me, the radio got a tad better after the ota. I still get **** reception at home, but now it seems like it doesn't drop signal like before, but then again, I just installed the ota and rooted last night on the stock rom.

I got lucky the first time through, my hinge was pretty tight, i had 3.2 gb free space in my phone, and had one one minor antenna issue. Once a week or so I would drive somewhere and when I would look at my phone i would have an X and no bars. Only way to fix it was to restart, since it only happened once a week i didnt really bother with it. The OTA Fixed that problem so im just very lucky this phone around
ps: jk about the 3.2 gb, i got around 1.3 gb like everyone else
I am still seeing radio issues after the OTA. By switching it to airplane mode, then back to non-airplane mode (versus a rdeboot), the issue is temporarily resolved. Makes me think its a s/w issue with the radio. During the initial release I had to reboot to get a lock on GPS (a few times).
Hoping cell reception gets fixed in an upcoming OTA. Sucks having worst reception than my G1. Until then, wifi calling is saving the day at my house.
The only thing we can do is keep complaining and hope they listen.

Sounds like it might not be a specific phone issue.
I really want to keep this phone but the radio is unacceptable! My wife's BB gets 3g throughout the house, and not only that she can talk on it without issues....

Same with me for the most part. I just did the airplane mode trick, and it's the first time I've had to since the OTA. I have had the data drop plenty of times since the OTA, but after a few seconds it would come back again. The OTA was supposed to address this radio recovery problem, but clearly it didn't fix everything. I think I'm going to call customer service again and let them know.
On a side note I believe the issue I had today was with the XP tether driver. I think it's rather buggy as it tends to get stuck connected regardless if there is a phone tethered to the computer, and I have to restart! I still have had the data connection drop since OTA, but it usually fixes itself.
My fascinate seems to have abnormally high time without signal. Right now it is reporting 60% time without signal (Cell Standy is at 15% of battery use overall). Sometimes I have weak signal at my house or in certain spots at work, but very rarely do I go without a signal.
Is there some setting that I should look at? Or is my signal really that bad and I just never noticed it before since this is my first smartphone that actually reports this information?
Thanks!
It's probably the prl list which tells your phone what towers it can talk to. Try running the *228, option 2 to update the list and see if it helps. Also, do you live in a former alltel area? That can complicate things as well. There may be an extra setting in the mobile network menu that you can change to improve reception.

I assume that *228 options 2 is just to update the roaming lists? If so, I have run *22899 (which just runs it automatically), but I can try that again since I haven't done it since rooting and installing new ROMs and kernals.
As far as being in a former Alltel area, I am not sure, I am in the Binghamton, NY area. In my mobile network menu there is only two options; Home and Automatic. It is currently set to Automatic.
How do i know if I live in a former alltell area, and if i do how can I improve my signal?

No other suggestions and/or ideas?
Our radio sucks. Its a known issue with the phone. Put the Fascinate side by side a Droid X or Droid 2 or Droid Eris or Droid Incredible or Droid 1 or ..., you get my point, and you'll see that the Fascinate always has about half the signal strength that all the other phones have. I had >1% TWS while I was on Sprint with my Epic, but I switch to Verizon (which is supposed to have better service) and I get 33% TWS all day.
I have the same problem I get anywhere between 60-70% without a signal at home.
When I go to bed at night I lose about 25%. I called up verizon they sent out a site team and got back to me, supposedly I am on the fringe edge of where tower is, and nothing they can do and that is why it is marginal, even though my other phones work fine like my old blackberry.
It turns out the 3G needs a lot more signal, and my phone is constantly searching which is draining.
Only way I can remedy this is at home only use Wifi, and never have 3G. I do that now and only lose about 4% battery at night.
It appears the antennae really stinks compared to other phones. Maybe an update will fix it but I doubt it.
I regularly commute from the metro nyc area to long island, and I can verify that the phone has an obvious quirkiness in the cell phone reception. While I have anywhere between -109 to-96 dbm if signal strength in rural long island, I have full bars in the city. while that sounds normal, the reception drops tremendously as data is being accessed. The radio sucks and there is nothing we can do about it baring some engineering work or radio tweaking that is hard to test in the dev community. Flashing radios run a higher risk of bricking than your run of the mill custom rom.

Unfortunately, that doesn't sound off for your area. According to Verizon's coverage map, Binghamton is right on the northern edge of a rather sizeable no-coverage zone extending out of Pennsylvania. Also, the cellreception.com ratings from other people in that area are quite low.
That, combined with -- as other people have mentioned -- the Fascinate's seemingly sub-par radio means I don't doubt the 60% number is accurate. The Fascinate definitely doesn't receive a signal as strongly as other phones, I can attest to that -- my Droid 1 received a steady (if not strong) signal in some places my Fascinate goes in and out (or just out) of service. It's frustrating, and there doesn't seem to be anything we can do about it. I just hope it's a firmware issue that Samsung can fix -- and actually fixes -- rather than subpar hardware.

That area, VZW has a roaming agreement with Sprint or some other carrier as I was up in that large "uncovered" chunk this past summer and had service the entire time.

Hmm never knew about that site cellreception thanks for that!
I just checked and now I see why I have barely any coverage, I am about 30 miles form verizon nearest tower.
Interesting thing is there is a sprint tower about 1 miles west of me...hmm
I always thought about switching to Sprint for cheaper and better phones I am tempted to return this and do that
For what it's worth, I've gone to 0% time without signal since updating to DJ05, but I still see non-trivial "Cell Standby" battery usage anyway. Usually around 15% after a day of use. Not sure if that means something is whack in DJ05 and the 0% is bogus or if it means that "Cell Standby" power usage actually has very little to do with that value. Not knowledgeable enough. It might be worth your time to try DJ05 if you haven't already.
There is also the hidden menu that lets you configure CDMA and GSM stuff, but I tried those (while on DI01) and *anything* I did in there just made it worse. I read somewhere that the radio may be looking for GSM services which shows up under "Cell Standby". My intent was to change the radio to CDMA only, but again, changing it from the default "WCDMA Preferred" just made things worse for me.
That second part was kinda meaningless .. lol, sorry. My reason for posting was to point out that my "Time without signal" dropped to 0% by installing DJ05, but didn't seem to have an appreciable affect on "Cell Standby".

I think that Cell standby is battery used by the cell radio when it's not in use. Time without service is battery used by the radio when not in use and looking for service.

Yep I am on DJ05 and did not make a difference. Out of curiosity before Dj05 what % were you getting without signal?
I am an Epic owner, same phone, sometimes same problem. One of the things I do is called the airplane toggle trick. It works for me, don't know what it might do for you.
My phone goes to 50% standby when I boot or turn off and on for any reason. To fix this, I turn off DRM in Running Services and do this trick.
Turn Airplane Mode on for maybe 30 seconds, then turn back off. This resets the radio.
This returns mine to 0%, so might try this.
I have downloaded both Real Signal and Signal Status from the market. I keep having issues with my data not working(it's been ongoing since I got the phone.), so I wanted to know what my actual dBms were. But for some reason, on both apps, the highest evdo reading I get is about -3 and the lowest is about -30. But I don't know what that means in terms of real signal as everything I can find on google and that I understand, it should be between -60ish and -115ish but I have never seen those numbers on the evdo side. Am I wrong? I understand that it is the same dBm as 1rxtt, and I know they are different tech, but I would think it would be similar any way. However, I don't know antenna tech at all. So that's why I posted the question here. I have done a google search with no real relevant results, but I didn't search XDA specifically, as I thought if there were any relevant results they would have popped up in my google search. And all the relevant postings that I came up with said the same as my assumption. That signal should be between -60ish and -120ish.
Thanks again for all the help, you guys are awesome.

I was able to hunt down that chart (Granted it was for a BB, however I would imagine the info would still roughly apply to any device), but I was not able to locate any real description of bars vs dBM. However, from what I've read before, just because you have a lower dBM (IE: -40) doesn't really mean you're going to have full bars/better service. I could be wrong, but from most of what I've read over time showed it was only a very vague correlation.
Do you get intermittent loss of data where only the right arrow under the 3G icon is active? That happens to me frequently as well and I have to go in and out of airplane mode to reconnect. Some of us think Blur causes it.
Sent from my DROID2 using XDA App
Granted, I only kept the stock rom for about 3 days before I installed a custom, blur-less rom. However, I seem to recall having some data issues while using the stock rom. I donno if it was part of blur or something else causing it. However ever since I've flashed to a new rom I havent had a single issue.
I've been having issues with data like this, too. I have put an Airplane toggle widget on my home screen just for this. I am near Fort Collins, CO, but I guess it looks like people may have narrowed it down to ROM issues and not location or Verizon.
Maybe they'll fix it when they roll us out to Gingerbread.

Then should it be possible for me to hit single digits? I don't recall ever having a lower signal than -30 and it stays typically in the -8 to -20 range. When I was at about -100 cell service, I was at about -8 to-10 evdo. So something still must not be right with my phone. right now I am at -76 cell and -2 to -4 Ev.
I am seeing the same thing on my phone. I have ~87dBM cell service, and ~7dBM for evdo. I have always understood Verizon's voice and data network to be separate, I suppose this just goes to confirm that.
Here's a way to confirm if it's a problem with Blur, as opposed to VZW's network. Is there anyone who had this problem on the D2 with the stock ROM and then had the problem completely disappear (or at least reduce in frequency) after switching to Liberty ROM, or one of the others?
All my issues dried up when I flashed a custom rom.
I work in the industry. A -80 is generally the number you want to shoot for as far as having a good usable signal. Anything higher would be even better. Although once you get past -50 or so the signal is kind of hot and may cause issues. Anything lower is a bad signal (-90/-100) and would also cause issues.

I have noticed that certain apps seem to disrupt my data reception and speeds. I had always suspected that this could happen and wondered if anyone else has noticed something similar. I had also recently tried justifying that it was due to overcast skies on the Q&A forums but was told to not be stupid, (my words, not the responders ).
Standing in an area of Downtown Denver where I would routinely get 4G speeds of 5.5-8 Mbps but have recently been getting 1.5-2Mbps consistently, I went over recent installs and updates and determined that I should uninstall the most recent Facebook update, weatherbug and whatsapp. As soon as these were off my phone my speeds immediately jumped to 3.5-4Mbps standing in the exact same spot. I restarted the phone and hit 5.14Mbps (I take the train so waiting for it I have lots of time where I just stand and am able to play with my phone. Thank goodness for Super AMOLED or I wouldn't be able to see the screen). I went home and ran a speed test in the corner of my house where my reception is best and have been getting the 1.5-2 Mbps speeds recently. I got a 6.61.
Is anyone aware of apps acting disruptive like this? I played with the phone all night, reinstalled the three apps and saw immediate drops in 4G speeds every time, with an instant bump upon reinstalling. It seems like it's too much of a coincidence for there not to be some correlation. Obviously Weatherbug is a data hog as it constantly updates, but I usually kill Facebook and Whatsapp as soon as I stop using them, and FB is still installed, just not the most recent update.
Insights?
Have you tried different combinations of named apps to pinpoint which one is the most disruptive.
Seems that the FB update is the worst offender based on my unofficial couch test
I haven't had any problems so far. I just avoid downloading from developers that have names similar to the OP's
And now to demonstrate the extent of my Noobieness...
What's an OP?

Yea...only real way to fix this grusome issue is to...turn the phone off. Now the battery will last a lot longer.

No your not crazy. i think that same thing is happening up by me.
Weatherbug and Facebook can both be set to NOT auto-update. That way, they only update when you open them.
Both were set to not update automatically, but it seems like there is just something about the Facebook update in particular that is disrupting my 4G. Weatherbug did not cause as big of a problem, but it was there nonetheless.

I have installed the EL30 update after going back to stock EC05>EI22. Here is what I have observed about EL30 (I have not applied any other fixes nor rooted yet):
-The upside down horizontal calibration for compass is fixed
-Keyboard lag is gone
-GPS improved from locking only 4 satellites to 6-7 (the GPS Fix I think, could can allow more, upto 9-12 under best conditions), so I think this made be good enough, but balancing power for battery consumption.
-"Android System" service aka CIQ is definitely gone.
-Haven't experienced speaker feedback squeal yet, although I did on EI22 after I had used voicemail and google voice search.
I have installed CWM 5.0.2.7 and rooted. I had to do the CWM flash twice (once to get SU on and open Root Explorer so I could delete the install recovery script, since there's no EL30 Kernel yet that takes out the install-recovery.sh script.

Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
No, I'm getting about the same signal with my Airave. The wifi looks like more bars than EI22.
Has the rotation sensor been jerky for you in the past (skymap/yelp/other AR apps) and has EL30 made it smooth again?
Seems snappier. GPS is definitely better. Had a lock as good as 1m today for a short time while driving around and it was cloudy. 4m was the norm. Will test the modem over the next few days.
Man, if the keyboard skip is fixed and the GPS too, I'll be happier than a dead pig in the sun. The wife and I made a run from Houston to Ft Worth this weekend. I had to pull the battery about 7 times on the trip to get the GPS back on track. Extraordinarily annoying when you are trying to find your way in a place you've never been before.
No OTA here yet, probably will go the manual route. Thanks for the good news on the update, look forward to having a phone I don't have to cuss out all the time!

Preliminary results for me with EL30 modem running EI22 Legendary is: ~7% TWS while at home. I'll report back after a normal day at work and then going home.
With EI22 modem I would average ~3% TWS.
It's a shame I'd have any TWS since I live in a metropolitan area. Stupid Sprint coverage.
I think a lot of you need to remember that sprint is doing all kinds of stuff to towers lately and other issues may make your signal bars report differently. I'm still on ei22 and while typing this I watched my signal bars go from 0 - 2

Yes rotation sensor was upside down starting in EB13 Froyo and has been until EL30. You could fix it though by doing your horizontal calibration upside down. Now you don't have to.

Funny, I was just about to post a little message about my stupidity and battery life.
Since I keep things mostly stock, my upgrade routine was to backup apk/data, and system data in MyBackup, then reflash back to stock EI22, install the EL30 update, do the CWM/root dance, and restore stuff in MyBackup. All went well, but my battery life was about %70 of what it was. For the first 2 days I just figured I was playing with the phone too much, but today I started plowing through the settings. What I found was that even though I had restored everything in MyBackup, not every setting stuck. For instance, Facebook was set to update every hour even though it had previously been set to never update. I also had to re-freeze DRM after the install. There may still be more things I haven't found.
The point is after an upgrade, especially if you have re-installed stuff, go through every setting you can think of that could be killing your battery. It's possible that some app has been inadvertently set to connect too often and that is what is killing the battery too fast.
