I've had .905 since it was leaked. Not sure if it started right away, but I've noticed some serious 4G data dropping. The signal at my apartment and school have been pretty good up until this started happening. I've been at this apartment since December. I was running .904 up until the .905 leak. It was rock solid everywhere except a couple of known areas with bad VZW reception. I decided to revert back to .902 to see if the problem resolved. Seemed to be just as bad, which is weird since it worked fine before. I just applied the .904 leak again and the 4G icon has been steadily blue. I think I'm sticking to .904 until ICS is released.

I downloaded the file and installed it, but my phone is still saying I'm on 902:
It must not have installed correctly. Did you get any errors while the install process was running in stock recovery? If you have any missing system apps or modified config files, it will abort the update. Try it again and watch for error messages or warnings.
i'll try it again, and pay attention. I was rooted, and had frozen some bloatware, but thawed it all prior to installing the update. My phone is also now unrooted, after the install.
I reinstalled it, and did not see any errors, but my phone is till showing 902. I may have removed something when I was rooted, but cannot remember. Is there any way to tell if my phone is still modified?

You can flash the modified stock 5.9.902 fxz file in http://androidforums.com/bionic-all-things-root/480176-how-flash-5-5-893-5-9-902-rsdlite.html thread. It will kept your data and put your system back to stock. Then you can update to 5.9.905 and reroot using motfail.
It just got pushed to my phone downloading now. Then I will see if I can see anything different. I really didn't have anything to complain about. Well they sent me a different phone cause ear piece blew on mine and now I cant get screen grabber to work where it did on the other one. Just popping up and telling me I need to be rooted. Thats the only thing I could complain about and I'm sure this wont fix that...

just updated two bionics...they both switched to 3G after the update when they are nearly always on 4G. this isn't good...I tried turning off data, using Restart Connections, no luck. Pulled both batteries...got 4G back and will report tomorrow as to how well it holds.
EDIT: after a 1/2 day's usage, 4G seems to be holding up fine, but I haven't frequented the spots for long that have been problematic with 902, so it's too early for me to give a definitive comment about the relative ability of 905 to hold onto a 4G signal.

that's strange, i just downloaded it and have had strong 4g so far. i hope it sticks because I've been dropping data like crazy leading up to this update.
Just posted in the Motorola forum as well. Updated at 1 a.m. EST and immediately noticed data issues with the latest update. It is doing the same drops before the 902 update. This is definitely a step backwards but I will give it a couple of days and see if it settles down. If not then I will try and factory reset.

I was in the 5.9.905 soak test. The process keeps getting more and more
Yes it was released late yesterday and started to be pushed out. It is available (finally) for download.

That is consistent with what i was wondering after reading data drop issues and my experience with the NoLock app.
The last thing we seem to think about is doing a soft reset(AKA battery pull) by holding down Volume Up/Volume Down/Power until the menu appears and then disappears.
My hypothesis is ... if you are having problems with 5.9.905 try a soft reset and see if they magically disappear.
It would be great to know how many 5.9.905 problems are corrected with this.
