### Comment:
It still is a non issue.

### REPLY:
No it's not. It's a power management technique used to reduce the power consumption of the power amplifiers in all cellular front-ends that biases the amplifier to match the RF waveform. The workaround is to run the amplifiers at full, or relatively constant bias resulting in a significant battery hit when your phone has poor reception. 
  
 Edit:OP claimed, and then removed, it was a modem issue that fell under the larger FRAND argument.
