Has anyone else here had issues with the Droid X having cellular network disconnect issues?
What I mean by this is that the 3G stops all together, you cannot make outbound calls or SMS messages. The 3G icon goes away, yet I can see bars on the antenna strength meter.
The only way to fix this is to reboot the phone, even putting in airplane mode doesn't work. It happens about every 1.5 to 2 days on this phone. I've factory reset it, gotten a replacement phone, etc.. Nothing works and it all started with the Gingerbread update.
I'm not the only one I can tell you that, many others on the moto forum are having it too.. https://supportforums.motorola.com/thread/52111
I have an ADB logcat that I could send to some folks smarter than me if someone wants to look..

Another forum posting I've found..
Glad to see there are more people with the issue.. Now its getting Motorola to listen....
There must be something unique that you are doing. I burn about 2200 min a month of cell time, and I've had no issues.
Yeah that happens to me, I sbf back to froyo, and now I'm on liberty rom, no more cell disconnect

I'm to the point where I want to get away from Motorola all together.. This phone has always been quirky, now its just totally unreliable. I have an HTC incredible (CM7) and have 0 issues with this, so I know its not a cell reliability issue in my area.
I can tell you that I ran CM7 for a few days on the DX with no issues at all. However CM7 has a few other annoyances that the wife didn't want to deal with.
I'm working with Verizon and it sounds like they're to the point of offering up a different phone..
I was having a similar issue. Spent countless minutes on tech support with vzw, countless resets, even sent me a replacement phone and had the same issue. Determined it was google voice at fault. Had to do a factory reset from the moto bootloader (not from settings/privacy), and it finally solved the issue.
If you're using google voice, try getting rid of it, and disconnecting it from your phone.

Well, I don't use GV, but had it on my phone...
I've uninstalled, and rebooted (not factory wipe)...
I'll see how it goes...
I asked in the moto forum and one user responded so far saying that they have the issue but don't have google voice installed..
I had the same problem with OTA Gingerbread. Cyanogenmod 7 fixed all my problems. No lie.

Hi,I'm now having these issues and more since gingerbread. Sad thing is, I had NO issues with this phone while on froyo. Verizon wants to do a complete factory reset, but that means i'd lose everything on the phone. I have it all backed up, but it takes a while to set up the damn thing the way I have it. I feel if tat what Verizon recommends, they should help set it back up.

After dealing with the issue with Verizon they agreed to let me swap the phone out for a different phone. The only rule was no 4G or no iPhone. Right now we settled on the HTC Incredible 2. I have the original Incredible, while the HTC software isn't perfect, but at least I haven't had these issues..
Bye bye Motorola.. Another plus, if this HTC has issues, as least I can run CM7 easily now..
I had(?) the same problem
history:
before upgrading to 2.3.3 my Droid X was on Froyo and rooted. In fine noob fashion I deleted bloatware during that time without backing it up so when I attempted to updated to Gingerbread I was **** blocked.
The resolution was to SBF the phone back to stock Froyo then upgread to Gingerbread, it worked like a champ... sorta
I kept noticing that the phone was really sluggish on reboots, it also kept dropping the network connection, mostly when I moved out of a wifi hotspot, the 3G wouldn't connect, not until I rebooted. I tried a few things, uninstalled misc programs blah blah blah, some of it seemed to have worked temporarily but nothing was permanent.
So, yesterday, I did a Factory Data Reset, actually had to do it 3x's since the first 2 times somehow goofed the market so that it wouldn't download and install . But 3rd time was the winner and now everything seems resolved, no more whacked out loss data connections and faster reboots!
so my suggestion - Factory Data Reset
I totally agree. Vzw tier 1 tech support can be a waste of time. After taking 30 minutes to tell me to turn on wifi, one guy told me to right click on the settings menu. I told him it was a touch screen, does that mean I have to use my right hand?

I have the same problem on rooted OTA gingerbread. My solution for the time being is to setup tasker to reboot the phone at 3am everyday. If i go back to froyo the problems go away. I posted about this a while ago. It doesn't fix the problem it just masks it but I start with a fresh phone every morning.
I have the issue too, it started right after Gingerbread.
It was *really* bad until I re-activated my phone but it still happens almost every 48 hours.
As best as I can tell, it is most likely to happen when wifi is on and you have a weak cdma/3g signal.
I'm glad to hear that CM7 seems to clear it up. Between hardware instability, the compass quality being degraded and the ever imposing presence of Blur, I'm thinking I'll never again own a phone with a locked bootloader if I can help it.
I also setup tasker to reboot my phone at 3am every night. Did this several weeks ago and I've not had a network access issue since. Not a great solution but if you got root it does seem to make the problem go away.
Hey, let me know what you think of it. I thought about grabbing one cheap and using it until a good 4G & dual core comes out.
Not sure I could go with the smaller screen though.

I have this issue on an unlocked dev dx which has slightly older hardware than the current DX's but I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one with the issue. I'm going to experiment with some different radio versions, because this didn't happen with all the different leaked GB radios. It wasn't until I think the 588 build that it started for me.
+1
I have had this issue ever since GB dropped for it. I am on my third X since GB. The first one smoked a memory card and battery. So I got a like new phone and all the fixings. Then the second one was also having the data issue and the camera took a **** (shutter was stuck closed). All of these have also not only rebooted randomly from day 1 with GB. Go to make a call phone reboots, send a text phone reboots. I thought it also was apps and heard about Google Voice causing it. So when I got this third one I only setup apps that it came with and nothing else. not even 2 days into having it the same **** was there. Less frequent but still there. They are going to get screamed at until I get a new device.
Switch to cm7. I love it.

I have just switched over to verizon from AT&T a couple of days ago. It was an impulse decision as I was only in the Verizon store with my girlfriend to get a her a new phone. I was showing the sales guy my pimped out Samsung Captivate and explaining to him him how easily these things can be manipulated and how much I loved my Cappy. Thats the last thing I remember. I woke up to find I had switched my service (3 lines) over to Verizon and I was now the owner of a Droid X.
I loved my Captivate and had no thoughts of ever switching but they had a promotion going on that blew my AT&T plan out of the water so financially it was a good decision. But I am beginning to wonder if I haven't made a mistake.
Out of the box, the DX is rebooting pretty often. I had planned on getting on here when I got home to find the latest and greatest ROM anyway so I didn't worry about it too much.
I am currently running Liberty 1.0 as my first flash. That is of course after flashing .340 which I read may or may not fix the rebooting issue. I am liking the ROM but the random reboots still persist. Its beginning to get too much to bare as I have yet to have one phone conversation that isn't interrupted by the phone powering down by itself.
I have searched for any word of a fix for this but I haven't found any definitive answers other than to do a factory reset. I have done that several times, as well as reflashing .340 and Liberty to no avail.
Before I take 3 phones back to Verizon and crawl back to AT&T and beg for forgiveness does anyone have a definitive solution for this?
Its worth mentioning that I bought my daughter a DX as well to replace her Cappy (she is NOT happy BTW), and it does the same thing. It is still stock out of the box.
Thanks in advance for any replies.
I have a Dx and haven't had this reboot issue, however, my sister traded in her iPhone for an x on my advice and now she's having the same issue you are. I was going to have her flash to liberty and do a system restore but obviously that hasn't worked for you. Hopefully someone will have an answer to this problem

Send the phones back to Verizon, that is not normal.
In my opinion, not to say you don't know what you are doing which I am sure you are, I know you are well aware of the risks of flashing roms.
I hear more people having issues with Droid Xs that have been re-ROMed, flashed, themed, etc, then I do people with stock DXs that are rooted and cleaned up of bloat.
While my DX might not be clean out the box, it's still in prestine shape, rooted and even flashed to Cricket. I have never had a single issue with it unless I am bricking it or messing with it myself.
A lot of times, people mistake the phone as the issue. These were $600 phones when released, still are (give and take a few bucks lol). I doubt the issue is hardware. Send it back to VZW or try the Full SBF 320 using RSD Lite. It's been the talk of the town.
Could be that there's a bad batch of DXs going around that have just been released? None the less, VZW can get you replacement DXs over night practially.
Sbf to stock and reflash liberty. Or take it back a get a new phone.

Ben you are right about people messing up phones by flashing. But generally taking them back to stock will fix any issues that have risen from tinkering.
My issue is that mine did it out of the box. My daughters did as well.
Funny thing is just this morning I updated my daughters with the .340 update and it seems to have stopped. Its been quiet now for about the last 30 minutes. I reflashed .340 on mine at the same time and it has rebooted about 4 times while I type this message. Maybe my daughters is fixed, but mine is definitely not right.
Thanks for the comments.
My sisters phone is also doing this bone stock. It doesn't always reboot sometimes it locks up and she has to pull the battery. She's taken it into the Verizon store and they reset it to stock (not sure exactly what they did). That didn't fix it so she took it back to exchange it and they told her " that's normal, sometimes you have to pull the battery." So they wouldn't exchange it.

Sadly this is has been a small issue with the DX, it's been posted many times. Mine did it when I first got it back in August and at first I was blaming Handcent on the reboots. Then for some reason it just stopped and I have never seen it reboot on it's own. Was it the update to 2.2 or removing Handcent? I've reinstall Handcent since so I honestly I don't know. Side note I still blame Handcent on the phones lag because when I uninstall it the screen redraws and the lag goes away.
Anyway there is a great big long thread on this at the Moto DX forums and Matt's (forum admin) advice was to return the phone for a new one. I would arm myself with a printed copy of the thread in case Verizon wants to throw a fit.
For the record I just dig this phone. I'm stock, rooted with just bloat frozen. It's been a great phone after the teething problems were solved.

I've had DK28 installed or over a month now and used various different roms, but about two weeks ago, data ( and consequently voice and messaging) all dropped and refused to work. I've heard of several other people having this problem as well, but am surprised that more people haven't experienced this. Once data drops, rebooting, reflashing, and re-odining all refuse to restore service reliably. My only solution I've found is to re-odin to DI18. It's quite a step back however, I'm curious if people have found ways around this or it only affects certain phones..
two words, truly epic
Never had what you are talking about. I was on bonsai rom and now I'm on a new test build rom and I don't have that problem. Try bonsai rom its awesome.
Sent from my Evo Killer!!!
Did you Odin to DI18 between each DK28 flash??? Just sayin, if you loaded DK28 once, and just switched roms, even wiping etc.... that could be a problem. Sorry if you did, but just checking, you didn't type out your whole process... if you do, someone may see the common denominator, etc.... 2.2 works fine for me, other than a couple minor bugs that have been traced to kernel issues... so hopefully source will fix them.
Actually, tried Bonsai rom too, but problem persisted. I'm pretty sure it's a modem issue. You can tell it's happening, because you can see that there will be a certain amount of signal (2 bars, 4 bars, 5 bars) but no data service (indicator is also missing). Calls fail to connect, messages fail to send, and of course, data is non-existent.
I've never had a problem with DK28 and I strongly suspect that if you have, it's due to a PEBCAK error.
It's not a PEBCAK error. It's been experienced and documented by several other users:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=922428&highlight=dk28+modem+zip
I've tried about a dozen different things, but the lowest common denominator is that I've wiped my phone and used odin to restore to the stock DK28 leak to no avail. A consensus seems to form that my phone may just be moody. I've already begun steps to exchange it, although I'm far past the 30 day window...
Have you tried flashing back to the stock modem and rom, then reflashing to DK28? Instead of just flashing the DK28 modem again.
Bye bye as this is a troll thread...

I had similar glitches with DK28, but they were usually resolved by rebooting the phone or turning data off/on. The last straw for me was when my daughter tried contacting me for and emergency. She was unable to get a hold of me because my phone and data had literally stopped working without warning. After rebooting the phone, I had nearly 20 voice mail messages from her and others throughout the day. The next day I want back to 2.1.
Since, I have replaced the Epic with an EVO. The epic is still in my desk drawer waiting for the day Samsung gets their heads out of their asses and update it.

DK28 is fine
I'm a Vibrant owner who has been setting up my gf's Samsung Epic. Immediately rooted that beast and put TrulyEpic on it. That ROM was killing her battery life in less than half a day so I switched her to the Bansai ROM and it's the same deal. Is this standard for Epic users?
Leave your girls epic on stock di18.
Not worth putting dk28 on someones phone if they can't do it themselves. There's just too many bugs, no matter which froyo rom you run

No ****? All right, thanks man.
People think that since this problem hasn't occurred for them it must not exist. It's obviously an issue for some of us. As for remedies, I've tried, cycling data, airplane mode. All no good. The funny part is it'll pop - and work for a few hours- then go back to being an expensive mp3 player. I've even odin-ed to DI18, problem still persists. Take the phone back, give sprint hell. And while you're giving them hell, ask them where the hell our Froyo update is.
Dk28 is very buggy. Load a custom rom over it like nebula, bonsai, or truly epic. They fix almost all of the bugs and they are faster than stock

If this happens on DI18 as well, obviously its hardware... back to sprint... hopefully youre investing in TEP. If it is just DK28, try that GPS fix, may sound like not related, but it is just doing it the meticulous long way, which in the long run works great. I have never had a real data issue, but GPS I never got better than 10 meters or whatever, did that method, locked in 3 secs to 2 meters... crazy. I think not all the pit, modem, etc files are created equal... you may lose something in DL from some crappy free file hosting site, your flash may miss one little thing because the Samsung Drivers are crap... Theres so many variables. But the majority of people don't have any of these issues... so either you have software issues, and need to go back to stock, then it works fine... or if not, Do a tried and true method to get to DK28, and then see if it happens again. Data dropping could be so many things... location, how settings are tweaked... did you try the 'want better 4g signal' thread? It also links to a 3g fix that I think was also found to help on the EVO... just sayin... theres fixes out there, this is a totally unfinished build, what the devs have done with it is amazing.
That said, unless you want to be designated tech guy, keep her on stock. Unless she absolutely needs Flash, or wants to have 500 apps on her phone... she will probably not miss out on much, its power users and those who bought docks and HDMI cables that are really getting the shaft.
First phone has never been rooted, it is stock latest sprint rom.
Starting 2 weeks ago the phone has been acting odd, keeps losing my custom ringers, turning itself up and down, no software installed to do that. I have also had to re-enter all my logins over the last 2 weeks. Now the weirdest one, I left it on my charger last night as a slept and this morning when I took it off the battery fully charged Icon stayed on and would not go away.
I turned the phone off and on and it still came up. I turned the phone off again but this time the phone would not even boot. I tried to remove battery and put it back still no boot. I finally got it to boot but only if it was plugged into the Samsung wall charger.
I don't think it is any type of malware, spyware or virus, I get all my apps off of the marketplace and I run the norton security beta.
As anyone heard of anything like this before?
Thats weird..... I would either get it replaced or ROOT THE DANG THING lol
EDIT: First ^_^ .....
I remember having strange issues when I first rooted the stock EC05, but that vanished when I installed a custom rom. Nothing like this though.
I had 2 Epics do this exact same thing. Took them back got brand new ones from the store. The latest one I have started not sending texts a few days ago, which it would receive them fine and everything else worked it just stop sending texts. Hard reset wouldn't fix it so after a call to sprint and them "refreshing" my phone it worked. Then 2 days ago after taking it off the charger it went on roam and stayed that way all day. Wouldn't go off roam after battery pulls or restarts, so I odined fresh EC05 and it still was stuck in roam. I am running EC05 stock rooted, and wife's phone is completely stock and it does weird stuff too. Now I am waiting I guess for a refurb since I am past my 30 days. My Epic does weird stuff too and I tried to get them to let me get something else but they won't yet which is really disappointing since I just started service with Sprint 6 weeks ago. I am not really impressed with the service or phone so far and definately thinking I should have never came to Sprint.
Well the phone is back to normal today. It did it yesterday as well though. I can't wait until Sprint gets a good Windows Phone 7 device, 200 for the Arrive without 4g and a small screen still is ridiculous. I only got this phone as a stop gap and I really dislike Android the more I use it. Thank you for your help.

The official Twitter app causes a lot of problems in the Epic. I couldn't send text, watch videos, or listen to music. After finding a post here mentioning it I uninstalled Twitter and now I have no problems. The official twitter app could be the problem. I wouldn't out right blame android or sprint for the problems of one phone that may potentially be caused by one app.

I thought of that too, but after using Oden to get back to EC05 and having done mutiple hard resets that rules out the twitter app or any other app. Plus that don't explain why it went on roam and even using oden and doing mutiple hard resets wouldn't fix that either. Today it quit sending texts again and would not keep a data connection until I did 2 factory resets and all I have is stock apps nothing more. I haven't had this phone rooted for over a week now because of all the problems. Thanks for suggesting but its not the twitter app its definately my phone and possibly sprints network.
My first epic also had an issue similar to this, it wouldn't charge and the few tims it would whenever id unplug it , it would still say it was charging and have radom reboots. Also when it died the only way to turn it on was to take out the battery and plug it in , then put he battery in.
Long story short try ad get it replaced.

I got another 1 that they sent to the repair store and I am guessing its gonna be a refurb, so after work I gotta swing by and switch them out and see how long its gonna last.
Just for the hell of it I guess I will take it to the local Western Talk store, they don't ask any questions and just replace the phone. I am just pissed that I will have to pay 35 damn dollars because of Sprint's new rules.
I really do hate this phone. No matter what I do I have nothing nut problems. I've tried stock and that sucks. Freezing and restarting all the damn time. I tried rooting. Same bullsh*t but it takes me 4+ hours to get my phone running . I spent from 9pm last night until 3am and then 1-4 this afternoon to get my phone running. I couldn't get Liberty to run right. 3g wouldn't work. Went back to prerooted gb and got my internet working again. Went to take a video and my phone freezes. Had to do a battery pull and lost the video which I can't get back. I don't care what anyone says but F*CK android! I've never had so many headaches and frustration in my life! I seriously want to throw this POS on the ground and go back to a regular dinosaur phone. If I do get another smartphone it will be an iphone. My gf has a iphone 3g and she doesn't have HALF of the problems I have. I seriously want to walk onto the Verizon store and smash this phone across the face of the person that sold it to me. $200 for something that I ha e nothing but issues with plus over $100 to use it. I'd be better off flushing that money down the damn toilet!

Woah, woah! Calm down dude. I have a HTC Wildfire with a development ROM on it which isn't even finished! And I use it daily without any problems. Try more Custom ROMs, sometimes the manufacturer rushes the ROM to hit deadlines, but developers (usually) don't.
But if you REALLY hate your Droid X, get an iPhone or a cheap old phone.

First, have you tried a factory reset? Second, if you've only had the phone since Nov and it's truly defective, take it to VZW and swap it out. Your warranty is a year
My brother had the same issue with his droid x, he just called Verizon I they sent him a replacement phone, he was still under warranty. They actually sent him 3 phones cuz every time they sent him one it was defective. The last phone he got is so far working well. I told my brother when he gets a new phone maybe he should get a htc or samsung.

I've done more factory resets than I can count. I've been having problems with Liberty it's not funny. I'm trying to wait until CM7 is a little more stable. Right now, I'm running prerooted GB because I couldn't get 3g internet working on Liberty v.08 or v.09. The 3g would be there, but it wouldn't connect. When I flashed the prerooted GB .zip, my 3g started working immediately. Then, I tried to email and Twitter jrummy16 to try to get help with the issue, and he hasn't responded. I understand he's a busy man, but you should really deal with issues with your own apps and roms. I wasn't disrespectful or angry in these messages. In fact, I begged him for help. In Liberty toolbox, when you go to update and it tells you after you download the rom that it's going to restart in recovery and flash it, my phone just restarts normally. I did this 10 times with no luck. I had to use bootstrap to do it, and the damn 3g didn't work. I just want a phone that works. It will work for about a month after I flash something and then the problems start. My gf has an iphone 3gs and she hasn't had hardly any problems at all with her phone. The only problems she's had are with some apps not working. Before I got this phone, I went through 4 wildfires because those kept crashing multiple times a day, and 2 Motorola Milestone XT720s for the same reason..

I was just wondering if you still breast feed. That may just explain your temper tantrum. If it took you 4+ hours just to root your DX then stop messing with your phone. Only operate your phone based on what the manual says. Enjoy!

I ran my phone stock until the GB OTA. When I had all kinds of problems, I finally rooted and ran Liberty 2.0.1 Froyo. It didn't take me that long to just root it. It took me hours to get it runnig right because of issues with Liberty. It's not my fault Liberty Toolbox has a bug in it and won't restart into recovery. The first time I tried to upgrade from 2.0.1 to GB, my phone locked up at the M logo. I pulled the battery, restarted into recovery, cleared the memory and cache 5 times each, and it still didn't work, so I had to SBF back to froyo, root, then download the prerooted GB file from another source because the one I had was corrupted, flash that, then when I had to manually flash Liberty v.08 THEN v.09, my 3g wouldn't work. I spent about an hour on the phone with customer service just to make sure there wasn't a 3g issue in my area, then I flashed back to GB prerooted, data wipe/clear cache 5 times each time, and I'm still having issues.. There comes a point where after going through all of that bull****, you finally have had enough. When I ran my phone completely stock, I had freezing/reboot issues. When I root, I have issues. No matter what I do, I have issues. You can all clown and I really don't care. Until you go through what I've been through, you won't understand...
Aww didums. Grow up and get some cheese.
Seriously if it was that bad, why didn't you just exchange it? And don't bother giving crap excuses, you are just a dumb ass.
Tits or GTFO!

When walking into a phone store, someone should hand you a tablet with a solid test to test your phone/smartphone knowledge, user accessibility and the ability to know how to perform simple self diagnostics/troubleshoot on your device.
Based on your score, you'll get the device that meets your tested IQ, or in most cases and certainly the OPs case, a swift kick in the ass out of the store with a 20% coupon to the nearest Walmart for a self service prepaid Tracphone.
Boy I tell ya, that sure would cut out 1/3 of idiot threads I read on XDA and potentially increase my life expectancy an extra 10 years from not having to deal with idiot customers! ( yes, I work for a major carrier on the sale front lines lol )
With that said, I am at peace lol.

It's sad that you're all resorting to name calling. I worked for Cingular for about 3 years as well doing customer service in a call center. I'm a CNC machinist and program them to cut parts. The last thing I am is an idiot. I'm done defending myself against people who just want to call names and act elitist. Thanks for nothing...

You aren't helping yourself at all. Honestly, you sound as though you're trolling for attention. If you're having 3G connectivity problems (amongst others) where there were none before, then you might have a hardware issue. If you're truly having this many problems with your particular device, exchange the phone. If you aren't willing to do that for whatever reason, you might want to stop posting.
And FWIW, CM7 is solid and is easily the smoothest and most stable ROM that I've had on my DX...including stock. Once you exchange your phone, give it a shot.

Maybe you should just stick with g codes then.
But no really your phone might just be the issue. Try a fresh sbf and then load on cm7. CM7 is more stable then most of the roms out there for dx. If you still have issue sbf back to stock and ask to have it replaced. Claim it reboots every so often for no reason. They will exchange it on that issue alone.

Honestly, I don't need attention from anyone. I was just pissed off and needed to vent. The connectivity problems were Liberty, because once I flashed back to prerooted GB, I was able to connect again. The 3g symbol was up on the screen, but the upload and download arrows weren't flashing at all. Like I said, I can deal with a lot of bull**** before the frustration becomes too much. I've dealt with issues in the past and didn't say anything about it. My phone will work great for about a month or two and then the issues start. Thank you for letting me know that CM7 is now stable enough to use. I wanted to switch over to it because of all of the great things I've heard about the rom, but saw that at the beginning there were a lot of issues with it, so I decided to wait until they worked out the kinks. I think I will start looking for the file and see about flashing over to try it out.. Thanks again..

Thanks. I'm still learning G-code, but I'm proficient in Mazatrol. I ran Mazak lathes for about 4 years, but recently started working at a shop running Haas machines. G-code isn't too hard to leran coming from Mazak. I think I will take your advice and SBF back to Froyo, install the prerooted GB, then flash CM7. I just did all of this night before last, but I guess a fresh sbf after going from Liberty back to GB wouldn't be a bad idea. Some of the problems I've had is with bugs in the files. I've dealt with corrupted files a few times in the past, and it's really frustrating to get that far only to have to sbf and start all over again. Every time I flash or sbf, I always wipe data/cache 4-5 times before booting up normally..
I could exchange the phone, but I would probably end up with a refurbished phone, only to have the same issues again. Can any of you honestly tell me that your phone never freezes or reboots???
I thought gingerbread was going to fix the Atrix random reboot issue. Well it has not. Late last night while using the Atrix, poof. It restarted itself. This is probably my fourth Atrix, but it has lasted the longest without a reboot.

It has happened to me atleast twice now ever since updating OTA to Gingerbread.
Phone is just rooted nothing else.
I have never experience this problem on stock or custom roms. You don't have any custom kernels installed, such as overclocking, do you?
In my experience (maybe twice in a month) this happens when there is signal/reception, but no data, and you start pushing the phone my trying multiple data enabled apps.
On both occasions I had full bars/signal yet no data (stupid telco) or very slow data, in frustration I was hitting refresh, opening other apps to kill time / see if it was app or network problem etc. then BAM. Kinda like how a corporate windows build loses its mind if it loses its connection to its domain resources.
Annoying
I had this issue before, and it was an issue with the phone itself not the software. If it is still within your 90 days return it for a new one and that should fix your problem.

no chance for me, in Australia, grey market import
In all honesty not a big deal if it doesn't happen too often
I'm on stock everything on my Atrix. I font think swapping the phone works, like I said this is my fourth Atrix lol.
My reboots happen at random. No specifics are the same at anytime. If I do swap it again though it will be for another phone entirely, but for what I don't know. I know a few people with the Inspire and they've had their problems. I know one person with the Infuse who has yet to have an issue, but either way I'm taking a huge downgrade.

Reboots
Anyone got a solution? I just updated Tuesday and I have had many random reboots. I am having the reboot 3-4 times a day. I never had the issue prior to Gingerbread.
I haven't had any reboot issues on mine nor my GF's, but I agree that it seems to be either the phone or a faulty app.
I know someone that had 2 from early batches and finally had a stable one after returning the others and hasn't complained of any issues since then.
Another co-worker had issues but uninstalled an app that kept force closing and never had the reboot issues come back.
One other thing to try is a factory reset...if it hasn't been attempted yet.
just had my first reboot over the weekend. other than that its not rebooted yet. but its only a week old.
