Re: Reception (phone radio) quality & strength on the Pre

I've had the touch the diamond the tp and now the pre and my pre has outperformed the other three hands down but my signal bouches around a lot to i was even in 1x for a whole week and don't know why but then you have to remember its a digital signal one bar or five bars doesn't mean that much as long as you have a signal

Re: Reception (phone radio) quality & strength on the Pre

I too had the touch pro and now I use the pre. The radio in the pre (or at least mine) seems worse by a decent margin. The signal jumps all over the place and I drop calls once and a while (more so than the pro). I hope an updated radio comes out sometime in the future. I really love the pre and want to keep it.

Re: Reception (phone radio) quality & strength on the Pre

I just upgraded from my Mogul to the Pre. Been wanting to that for a looooonnngggg time, just didn't want to give up my SERO plan. I finally had it with the Mogul though and got the Pre. Very rarely had a signal strength over 1 bar at my home and would drop calls constantly. With the Pre, the signal strength does, as others mentioned, jump all over the place when I'm at home (I think it's bouncing between two towers or between sprint and roaming). Even still I haven't dropped a call once. The connection wasn't the best though, was on a call last night and while I heard every word of the person the other end, it would cut out for him and I was having to repeat myself.

I refuse to go back to my PoS Mogul.....Pre is awsome. Now if they could let me set the ring tone for text messages and e-mails I'd be a happy camper.

Re: Reception (phone radio) quality & strength on the Pre

The signal meter on mine jumps all over the place, however I've not dropped a call like my pro did, not once sent to VM. I've played with the different "modes" and set to 1x, my signal meter rarely moves at all, 5 bars, but in hybrid (Evdo A/1x) the meter moves all over the place.
