First off, we have been having some storms down here so that may be a factor.
That said, I have dropped about 20 calls in 3 days. I am on the phone, call going through fine, then suddenly it's gone. I have used the headset and left the phone sitting on it's own, had it in my hand, pocket...same results.
When it drops, there is no 3G indicator but shows full signal. It takes about a minute for 3G to come back and then it works till it does it again.
Anyone else having similar issues?
No dropped calls here, could be the region you're in. The voice quality doesn't seem good to me though, the voices sound muffled. How's the voice quality on your phone?
Voice sounds great, I am pretty sure it's related to the remnants of tropical storm Bonnie. There was 12 hours where we had no signal at all yesterday.
For me:
Voice quality: 8/10
Dropped calls: none
I'm up in Northern California. Service up here is mediocre, but never dropped a call.
Denver. No dropped calls here. Always had them on my 3GS. Voice is a little muffled, but nothing extreme.
Voice and call quality IMO are outstanding (though I'm coming from an iPhone 3G)
I have very little trouble hearing whoever I'm talking to, and I have not dropped a single call, even through trouble areas where I would have dropped on my 3G.
Had my captivate since the July 18.
Voice Quality: clear and clean but volume is slightly lower than I would like.
Dropped Calls: None. All calls have gone through first dial with no calls dropped.
Signal: I have witnessed my phone drop to Edge on 2 occasions.
Notes: I have positive experiences with AT&T signal/service in our area.
WA State here.
0 Dropped calls.
I have never had ATT service at home. It has always been 1 bar for 5 mins then 0 bars for 2 hours. I consistently get 2-3 bars with this phone. I do lose service all the time, so calling from home wont work, but texting is fine. Service is great everywhere else.
Quality: Call quality is immense, especially on the other persons end. I was driving my bronco with the top off and windows down, radio loud, on the highway and the other person said they could hear me just fine, and that there was no background noise. I can also hear fine, although I would like it a little louder.
Dropped calls yes!! Was on a 1/2 hour phone call (the other person on a landline) and the call dropped about 5 times. Had this issue with my iPhone 3G but not my Blackberry 9700.
Little Rock, Arkansas
Voice quality: 8/10
Calls dropped: 0
Though, I wish the volume could be a little louder...

That sounds like my issue. This time it did it and I couldn't access the home screen until the 3G indicator came back.
Tomorrow I will be away from the area and going to test it again.

I wish I could say the call quality is immense. I have a pretty loud exhaust on my car, so I raise the windows when I make a call. I used to hear the person perfectly fine with my Bold 9700 and iPhone 4 while driving, but with this phone...it's muffled at times like I said on my earlier post and it's definitely not as loud as the other two. Maybe my phone is defective
I have had the S3 for about a week now and I have noticed that whenever I put the phone on my shoulder (resting against my cheek) the sound quality/reception goes to crap 85% of the time. This happens on cell and wifi calls but definitely more on wifi calls (skype). I.e. I was on skype talking to my friend and my wifi had 3 out of 4 bars. Whenever I would put the phone on my should with my cheek to free my hands his voice would go really slow and sound like a robot lol. He would tell me how the signal on his skype would drop from 3-4 to 0-1 untill i grabbed the phone with my hand like normal.
Does anyone else have a issue like this? I would think that the way I am holding it wouldnt block the wifi/cell signal so much. I am running the VRLG7 modem btw.
Not even a "Nope don't have that issue?". Trying to decide if for some reason its a defect or its just the way the phone is. Any comments would be appreciated.
I think the reception is bad wherever it is. I'm getting to the point where I try to just leave it on the window and use headphones to call.
When someone calls me on viber or if I call them,there is alot of gap in between what we say. It takes 3 seconds for the other person to receive what I said and vice versa. I have an HTC amaze 4g. How do I fix this?
That sounds more like a bandwidth problem rather than a software/hardware issue. Unless you have blazing fast internet connectivity there is bound to be some lag between the video and audio.
I thought it was me because I was driving or at a bad place in my home but I was wrong. My edge drops calls almost exactly at the 30-40 minute mark in my phone calls. It has happened all week but it was really noticable when it dropped and I looked at the time during one conversation. Anybody have this happen to them? I was told to replace it at a store. And we all know how plentiful the phones are… .:/
I recently had this problem occur again. This is after having a new phone. I called t-mo tech support and they said that the facebook messenger app has been causing a lot of problems with the call connectivity of the phone. I just uninstalled the app and am waiting to make a long phone call to see if this was the true culprit.
sent from the Edge
I think its just T-Mobile. My calls disconnect all the time. And my phone says no network connection a lot. (Even before I got the Edge) I think when the network connection drops, so does the call. This was even worse for me on the Sprint network though so I just live with it now that I'm with T-Mobile.
Galaxy Note Edge- phone call dead
My problem is from time to time phone call will be dead like no sound at all on either side even though there is network signal and the phone is showing call duration. I have to restart the phone in order to make phone call then its fine for unspecified amount of time then it happens again. Had my Note Edge for 3 weeks now and its pain in the neck. BTW I'm from Australia.
This is driving me nuts, I'd love to know the answer. Here goes: in my room my Pixel 3 either chooses from full LTE signal or one bar of h+ (basically unusable). It seemingly chooses at random. I have gone into phone information and set to only use LTE which immediately switches me to full signal and fast internet speeds. However, when I make this switch people are unable to call me. Any idea what's going on? Why is the phone not using the full strength LTE all the time!? Why would it choose an alternative signal that I can't barley speak to anyone or use the internet! Not sure if I should blame the phone or the provider. I'd love to understand exactly what's going on
FYI I'm on Three and the phone is provisioned for VoLTE. The full signal I'm referring to must be the 800mhz.
Appreciate any advice, thanks
Pixel 3 has really bad signal. Tried to become a sms over 30min in my room. Theres enough signal for it. Not good but enough but on pixel 3 never came on.
Switched into flightmode and turned off but no sms...
I was angry cause i did mobile banking. Never had this probleme bevore. Then i switched sim to nokia8 sirocco and became my sms instantly...
Pixel3 is a nice phone in design but software is ****! Never again a pixel...
Thought on a google phone they pick the best out of a phone but it isnt
