Help My Bionic issues

Here's a guess on some of it ...

Pull the back and remove the battery. Make sure both cards are firmly seated. I think when mine were installed at the store they weren't.

After seating the cards, put the battery back in, put the cover on and try it again.

I don;t have a dock. Other threads here report that the home button does not wor when it is docked.

I don't have a bionic but these problem's and many other's are know problem's that may or may be fixed in a nov update there is a thread on this may won't to read that.
 
Thanks...
I have done all the battery pulls and checks I can think of. I just wanted to report my issues. I know there is an update schedualed for Nov, but I cant wait that long long for this thing to maybe work by there
 
If your passed your 14 day's you got maybe two choice's go above a normal CSR or buy a diff phone out right. Second choice is to wait till fix come's out.
 
I have had my Bionic since release day... so far I’m not too impressed. My issues include:

Dropping Signal. Ill loose all 3/4G and I have to reset my phone just to re-gain connection. Also poor signal strength. Super slow internet sometimes and bad signal strength at my house… I live in a city!!! RARELY have this problem - Airplane toggle fixes it

Not enough space. I tried to install a wallpaper from the market and got an error stating I didn’t have enough space. I only have about 15 apps on my phone. Never had this issue

Apps deleting themselves. For instance I downloaded a game called Meteor. I played it all night on fri. Last night I went to play it and the shortcut was still on the screen but when I pressed it I got a message stating app not installed. Sketchy app?

Update message. I get a notification that apps need updated from the market. When I use the pull down menu it takes me to the market and nothing needs updated. Have had this once...

Poor screen quality and battery life. Buy an extended battery

Poor camera... it takes forever just to focus. Its a phone...go buy a Nikon

When I get a text message sometimes Ill get 5 or 6 duplicate texts…Yes, its very annoying

On the dock, I press the home button and nothing happens… I have to press the back arrow sometimes 30 times if I’ve been browsing just to get to the home screen. Dont have a dock, no idea

And that’s just the short list. I called Verizon and they wanted me to do a trouble shooting call.... but I wasn’t in the mood. I told the rep that Im not happy with this phone and she basicly told me I had to wait until my nex upgrade to do anything about getting a new phone. WTF? I have been a customer for 14 years and I have never complained about my phone. I thought this phone would be a step up from my DX... boy was I wrong.... You have NOT been a customer of VZW for 14 years, VZW was founded in 2000????

Perhaps you should put your DX back in service.

oh, and we are just a user-to-user forum--if you have issues that you want Moto or Verizon to address, posting here about your gripes isn't going to help you.

I've been a customer for 17 years myself.

Verizon Wireless was renamed from a joint venture of Bell Atlantic Mobile, Vodafone, along with a merger of parent company Bell Atlantic with GTE to form Verizon. I've been a customer of Verizon Wireless since 1994 - starting with NYNEX Mobile, which merged with Bell Atlantic Mobile, which became Verizon Wireless. It's the same account.

Insults wont help you get answers...i know i insult a lot of people

It's ok that you miss-spoke and claimed to be with "Verizon Wireless" longer than that entity has been in existence. We Sesame Street characters need all the clarity we can get...

EXACTLY - You were a customer of NYNEX Mobile. They then merged with Bell Atlantic. And then Verizon Wireless. So you have been with THREE diff companies since 1994...NOT one (VZW).
