Does this correlate with low battery or are you plugged in the whole time?

That's with a full charge and plugged in.

I'm pretty sure that signal drops are caused by some powermanagement 
functionalities.
Even if I'm connected to my home-accesspoint I lose connection quite frequently 
(due
inactivity).

So, we should probably check if such drops happen during a constant download.

We could also try to acquire a wakelock (keep the cpu running) ... maybe this 
helps.

I will try to reproduce such signal drops.

I downloaded a free wake lock from the market which keeps wifi running and the 
signal
Still occasionally drops, but its weird because on the pc it can still pick it 
up most of the time bu
Sometimes the signal completely fades away
