HTC Fuze Radio Reception
Dec 31 2008, 11:50 AM EST
Having used the HTC 8525 Hermes for two years, I've been used to having good signal strength on 3G, Edge, and GPRS towers. In my office here at AT&T I've typically gotten three or four bars on the meter via the 8525. Last week I upgraded to the Fuze, AT&T's version of the Raphael, and have noticed that the signal strength is noticeably weaker. In the office I now only get two bars instead of three or four. A colleague using an iPhone gets five bars. Another colleague gets four on his Samsung Epix. Around Oklahoma City I find the device constantly switching from the Edge network to 3G, ostensibly reducing the battery life of the device as it hunts for towers.If anyone at HTC reads this wiki, I hope your company is working on an improved radio stack that works better than the one I've got on my phone right now (1.02.25.32). The Fuze feels like a step backwards from the 8525 in terms of signal retention. 5 out of 5 found this valuable. Do you?

I am experiencing the same type of comparible problem. My Eternity is getting ALL BARS and the Fuze is getting 1 - 2 bars. When I start it the phone goes to the Edge Network with ALL BARS then eventually switches to 3G and 1 - 2 bars. When signal strength fails completely it starts switching back and forth between the Edge and 3G.

My old Tilt is solid 3G but this Fuze keeps dropping to E and sometimes G networks and seems to be constantly hunting for a signal. I find this shocking that HTC would introduce an new flagship phone that can't do the basics. Do you find this valuable? |

my fuze stays in the 3 bar range and on 3G network rarely does it drop down to E.
