Arrow Phone drops 3g/1x

My phone has recently been messing up, and it's rather annoying.

I'll unlock my phone, try to use my data connection, and it won't load a page. I look at the top, and there is no 3g icon. Only way to fix it is to put it into airplane mode and back again. Anyone else have this issue?

I have a replacement on it's way because it keeps shorting out with a line in jack, but it wont be here for a while because of the back orders.

I searched the forums, didn't see this topic addressed, sorry if this is already being discussed.

I have the same problem with 3G dropping into 1X with a decent signal. I got the Real Signal app from the Market which will display the EVDO and CDMA signal separately and discovered that the EVDO signal was at least -10 to -25 db weaker than the CDMA signal. I reported this to VZ and they were supposed to send some one out to this location to check the tower signal and get back to me but have heard nothing for about 5 days now. Will check with them again tomorrow. I think that it is an antenna problem or radio front end problem on the 1900 MHZ band. Need to find out something by the middle of next week because my 30 day period will be up then.

It doesn't just lose 3g, it has no data connection at all. Only way to fix it is airplane mode or power off then on.

Mine stopped loading web pages all together. You have to clear the cash is is defaulted to 6mb. That is what Verizon told me to do and the phone works great. I run the world at war page from face book all day. Face book is blocked by my company's software. Every night I clear the cash.
