Help Eris signal issues

Anyone having issues with the signal? My eris goes from 2 bars to zero to one and it's constantly searching for signal. It's also killing my battery. I'm in an area with excellent verizon coverage.
I have updated the roaming and re-program the phone and nothing seems to help. May have to take it back and cancel
 
No issues here. I see no bars sometimes but doesn't stop it from using 3G. It may be misleading in the signal. Take it back and get a different one.
 
thanks for the advice, I'll take it back to the store today. I dread the visit to the store as everyone there sucks, pushy sales people and overal not a good experience.
 
The good news is that its not an issue with your hardware. Verizon is aware of this issue and it appears to be software based and will be fixed with an OTA update soon.

That's good, because I emailed them and they gave me this really really long email response saying basically nothing. My Droid has a much lower signal compared to the two BlackBerry's in the same locations (usually 15-20dBs higher than the others - ex: both BB's are -70dBm while my Droid will be in the low -90s and was often going to 1X instead of 3G the first 2-days)
 
mine pops in and out of 3G to 1X quite a bit too, i know i have 3G here cause with my storm i always had 1XEV (3G).

must be software, hopefully the OTA will fix'r up
