I agree with the fact that some people have luck switching CDMA/LTE to CDMA Only and back to get the internet but the problem is that is a bandaid and not the fix. Imagine if you had a car and it suddenly stopped but the only thing you had to do was get out, unscrew the gas cap and then screw it back on to make it work again I have a feeling people would be ummmmm a tad frustrated.

In all honesty this update has hurt the overall performance at least for me in my area. Prior to the OTA I was having no issues with 4G. Now on a 30 minute drive home, I am likely to lose all internet 4 – 5 times. There is no “handoff” to 3G. Have actually had to put my phone in 3G mode and eliminate 4G all together. As a note, Verizon sent me a new copy of the Bionic to fix the problem. The first day, no issues. Overnight, this OTA loaded and things were back to bad. Overall, love the phone but man the data issues are killing me.

Mine is definitely worse as well. Way to go, Moto! I don’t need a working phone!

Since I got this update, I can rarely get 4G to work, and when it isn’t 4G, it might as well be turned off because I get NO DATA at all unless it is 4G. I wish they hadn’t tried to help.

I had minimal problems BEFORE the update…after the update? ALL HELL BROKE LOOSE. THIS PHONE IS F’D…GPS is freaking out constant hang ups and lockup ups from various areas. I have had to pull the battery 12 times in 3 days…UGH!! I am about throw this thing under a bridge…

They sold me on an upgrade and I actually went with it simply so I could extend my contract with unlimited data. I’m aware I could have thrown a bigger fit, but getting a new phone (RAZR) and having the assurance of my data plan for at least another 2 years was worth it. I laughed when the rep said this would be a one time only offer and I was like don’t worry, I’m not signing another contract after this as I’m not giving up my data plan. I’m selling off my Bionic and it’ll basically come out a wash.

This update, like the last, has not improved my phone at all! I want to love the bionic but honestly these data drops are killing it for me. Might be time to move on

Didn’t notice any real changes but my Bionic is still ticking, update didn’t affect my root or mobile hotspot hacks so a +1 for that.

5.9.905 didn’t cause me to lose my root! This is pretty cool, not going to lie.

My phone works a tonnnnnnn better now after the update just got it a few hours ago. I always had problems with 4G dropping out then connecting to 3G and then back to 4G. Its a longg story and I had thoughts of getting rid of my phone. Is Verzion still kicking the 4G users out of there unlimited plan later this year? If so I’m leaving Verzion lol I have been with them for to long just to strip the unlimited plan that I got grandfathered into before they started charging everyone!!

Same here, mine worked perfect after the first update but drops my 4G on a regular basis since this last update.
