What is this? I have made a good faith attempt to search for an explanation and I can't find one. A link or an explanation would be great.
TIA
I got much better better life after the fix. Verizon actually replaced my phone for that bug, along with a few others.

I have to believe that the "few others" were the reason for battery drain.
Really? I was considering getting another replacement due to this bug,
but wasn't sure what they would say or if it were worth it.. Currently I just
reverted back down to 1.5 and I'm much happier with 1.5 than 2.1. With
your new phone that they replaced, you have the Eris running OTA 2.1
and without the 50% time without signal? I thought this was on
everyone's phone with 2.1..
I've also tried reading through the threads to understand what this issue is but I haven't found a clear explanation of what it is and how to know if I have it. I've tried looking through my settings to find where to see % without service but see it nowhere.
Can anyone please help on understanding this / finding it? Thank you.
Other than curiosity about the reported bug, are you experiencing it on your Eris?
Sometimes my phone says 50%. Sometimes it says 0%. Either way my battery life is the same as always. This is just a cosmetic bug.
I agree. But being an "official" release, and considering the LONG awaited arrival. The bug shouldn't be there. IMHO
FWIW I just noticed today that I have the 50% issue. I had heard about it for so long that now that I am on 2.1 OTA, I figured I would check. Sure enough, "Time without signal" was at 50%. Conventional wisdom would tell me that the odds of having this exact figure for extended periods of varying signal and use is unlikely. I have been running the OTA for almost a week, and the battery was at least on par with 1.5. Therefore, I am going to chalk this up to being more of a "visual" glitch.
Ok, real sorry guys, but like rss I'm a little confused. Where do you find this percentage? Which menu do you go to?
EDIT: Nevermind found it, sorry.
i still dont know....
Settings > About Phone > Battery > Battery Use > Cell Standby
If you don't see it, then you're okay
ah yep, there it is, 50%. cant be real if u ask me, 50% on the button, seems too perfect.
