Just made the switch from ATT iPhone 4 to this bad boy. Only issue is , I'm always on 1 bar or even no bars but with ATT always had full bars. Anyone else seeing this? Keep in mind if i try to mske a call or text or internet it works... My ares is mostly 4g but cut off is right before my house when I have zero bars then sometimes goes to two bars then gone... Anyine else ?

Hmm. I get full bars in my house (4g) when I had 3g I would only get 2 bars. I think 4g penetrates buildings better. Plus ATT uses GSM towers while Verizon uses CDMA so if you have good service with ATT it will differ from other carriers.
 
So far my thunderbolt has gotten consistently stronger signals than my Incredible did, and my Incredible did a pretty good job.

If it gets to be troublesome, take it to a store that has some working thunderbolts and see how yours compares to them for signal strength. If it's lower than other them you might want to exchange for another unit.
