Anyone having trouble with this new VZW BB? ๐Ÿคจ
I've had this problem before and after the recent update, most recently it just went to 1x 'searching for network'. ๐Ÿ˜ณ
Never had any problems with any other VZW phones or BB's for that matter. ๐Ÿ˜•

I've had the same thing happen to me with my Tour. My Curve used to hold pretty consistent at -80 dBm. My Tour is all over the place. One minute -80 dBm and the next -106 dBm.

Now I'm wondering if the latest update has something to do with my trouble. Before the update the battery life was good, now 8 Hrs later the battery is almost dead. ๐Ÿ˜ณ

I'm on my second BB Bold 9650 and the signal indicator and db's do the same thing as the first, goes from full bars -80db to no bars -102db and back and forth for no apparent reason. ๐Ÿ˜•
So I guess I can wait (hopefully) a software fix and hope it's not a hardware problem.

I didn't really notice my Tour doing this when I had one. Perhaps it is a software issue with one of the updates these devices have gotten. ๐Ÿ˜•

Yep!! I placed my Tour side by side with my old Curve and my Curve would stay solid at around -80 and my Tour would be all over the place.

Well got a BB Storm 2, same thing. So either it's a software upgrade or VZW signal in my area has gone down. โ˜น๏ธ
