Dropped CallS - Vibrant General

Hi, I was wondering besides me have add issue's with dropped call while your wifi is up?

I constantly get dropped calls with 4 bars reception. I exchanged 3 phones. Will the new OTA update fix that?

Both my wife and I have been having this issue lately with our Vibrants

You are holding it wrong, obviously.

Not just wiring but my vibrant and my wife's vibrant drop Cal's too often. I've had 3 other androids and my wife has had 2 other androids on tmobile and dropped calls has never been an issue. I like the vibrant but its no different than any other android in that there's always some basic function that wont work properly. I know there is no perfect phone but only my less intelligent androids worked properly. G1 and mytouch 3g could perfomr the basics. Not so my nexus or vibrant

Dropped Calls on WindMobile
I heard that there was some sort of app. that would help with the dropped call issue, it that true? I am using a Samsung Galaxy S Vibrant that is rooted and unlocked and was originally a T-Mobile phone. Thanks for any help with this problem.

Is it poor reception?
If so try the "wifi calling app" which comes with teh phone

Maybe the merger with AT&T already stated

I got the wifi calling app

I got the t-mobile wifi calling app running but it only says Enabling. I wonder if this won't work on the N1. I am giving it a try though. So far it's not looking good.
From what I have been reading we may need a radio update for this to work.
Thx for the app, so far it seems like it can't connect to Tmobile's backbone.
Ditto. Download fails each time
Edit: downloaded but not connecting. Is there anything special to make it call through? Then again I am using a nexus on T-Mobile.

Voice and Text over Wi-Fi would be revolutionary.
well maybe not but it would be nice!

Same here... Stuck on enabling.... I switched over from a bb9700 and loved the UMA on it. It was my only reason for being hesitant to switching over. If i can get wifi calling working on my vibrant that would be awesome. Tmo service is so sketchy at my house wi-fi calling is necessary!

Interesting...it appears to be working for me also...I'm running cm 6. Not showing any 3g or edge. Also not showing a continuous "enabling"...lets me straight into the app with no probs.
Edit...oh...now its cycling though the "enable"...sorry for the mis information
Are you guys on tmobile? I want to know if this is carried specific and if I can get this running on another network
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
I thought it was working...but I was getting hooked up to t mobiles network still...the phone was showing I was connected to wifi...but I still had network coverage. Guess it was still using the network for calls and text...so my case was a false alarm.

Just sits on "Enabling..." forever.
Sadly, it also got caught by WatchDog as 62% CPU usage...

Telus DHD losing service

I'm running a stock Telus DHD and 3 or 4 times a day in areas that I know I get good service I'll lose service temporarily. Sometimes it can be 30seconds sometimes up to 5mins. Telus says it's because they don't have enough towers, but never had this issue on my N1 nor do my two friends have this issue with their DHD's. Anything I can do? Telus doesn't seem willing to swap the handset and claims the issue is on their end.
I seem to b experiencing same thing lately. Network signal just drops... have to either select it manually or restart. No issue with my other phone!
Mayb a phone issue....im stock 1.72

I had to threaten to cancel our corporate accounts before TELUS would take the matter on my personal phone seriously. Pathetic. They are going to send me a loaner to see if it is a device issue or a network issue.

Htc hd2 - terrible reception - drops when picked up ( .. Yeah i know..)

Ok hello everyone i got a huge problem in my hands. I bought a HTC HD2 for my girlfriend and proceeded to go through the awesome process of flashing all the recoveries and what not.
Its currently sitting with latest MAG/HARDSPL and latest MIUI rom working great.
The biggest issue i have encountered is the fact that the signal is horrible, wont go over 2 bars EVER, unless it drops all the way down and switches over to Edge then has full bars (witch i don't get) She gets a connection to H for maybe 15 seconds then drops to 3G then drops to nothing.
Funniest thing is once you pick it up you can see the bars just go way down, i have goggled like a madman, researched the most i can, tried different Radio and Rom combinations.
We both are under the Simple Mobile network and i have a G2x and the signal is perfect on my phone her struggles wherever we go
I've been reading this guide and i might decide to do this, unless someone with the same issue has found a different solution to the issue.

I would appreciate any help and thank you guys for taking the time to read this.
I've been going through this latley I'm on my 4th hd2 since February and 3rd sim card...second phone this week they mailed to me...but anyways I finally talked to a network tech from T-Mobile and he said its not the phone or sim its actually the transmission line on the network and that they will have a tech come out and rerun my codes through the system and basically restart the network router.I'm suppose to hear something back n upto 72hrs so it may be possible u have same issue as me..

Welcome to the HD2 - have had this phone for around 16months and it has the WORST reception/signal of any phone ive ever had..
Still love it though!
Just finished this guide on checking the Hardware antennas inside the phone.
Result: works 100% i had a really bad leg connecting with the antenna.
Worked for me and phone has full bars on H!!!!

Any aussies on XT905 and Optus 4G?

Any Aussies here with a Telstra XT905 but on Optus and with 4G active?
I'm finding with 4G active I get intermittent signal dropouts - it will go from even 5 bars to none then re-connect shortly. This is intermittent and random, I don't know how often its really happening unless I just happen to see it when I've got the screen on. I started noticing it as it seems to drop voice calls when it happens, normally doesn't kick in on a voice call until >5 minutes.
If I turn off 4G all is fine.
I tried freezing modem fast dormancy and modem stats service as it seemed to be triggering lots of wakelocks, but that didn't affect it.
I'm feeling dumb now signing up for another year and enabling 4G, could have kept trucking on my cheaper non 4G plan lol (and be coming out of contract around now!).
Note I'm on Optus, i have no idea if this happens if I am Telstra. The problem is too intermittent for me to pop in a temporary Telstra SIM and notice it (as I don't want my 'real' number to be offline for more than a short duration). I'm hoping it is indeed carrier related (i.e. so problem is fixed if I go back to Telstra, as opposed to hardware issue). Its intermittent enough so that its impossible to demonstrate in a store, and further I've unlocked/rooted so there goes my warranty anyway!
I'm the only one? Even if you don't have any issues w/ Optus 4G pls let me know so I can distinguish between a phone issue and a general Optus 4G compatibility issue.
3G appears rock solid, switched back to it (battery life FTW) and no issues again.

Telstra marketing and exclusive really hurt this phone. Nobody knows it exists but when they see it they want one as it's got all the high end goodies just not gigantic sized

Not sure if I agree. We've all purchased this "niche" phone so it has a market, but Motorola phones are generally not anywhere near as popular as say SG3 or the like.
Personally I've always used Moto phones since I had the Moto Z6, what a beast! Best sound on a phone ever (ok may of that generation!).
A lot of ppl got put off by the allegedly crappy screen and price.

Can't use Internet while on phone

My s4 could do this. now it gives an offline error. What the hell is wrong with the s5? It's like they hired someone from iPhone genius product team. This is a step backwards. Also phone never connects to 4g. Probably a personal problem

Sounds like the problem is one in the same because if you aren't on 4G (or wifi) you can't simultaneously talk or text and use data.
Do you know if other phones in your area get 4g? If so, try roobooting/ re inserting your Sim card. You could also try to change your network from "global" to "LTE/CDMA".
My RAZR had this problem all the time and usually a reboot helped. Or 4g could be out (was out for a week in my town).
Did the geniuses at Verizon give you a new SIM card with your S5 our use your old one? When I got muy S5 they tried to use my old one and it had all sorts of problems, the next day I went back and a guy who knew what he was doing asked the very question I opened up with and I told him the reused my old one, and here told me the came with a new one for a reason! He switched it out, all little bugs gone, worked great until the camera gave out, but that is a different issue!
Thank you all for the replies. costco rep advised me to call tech support so I'm giving that a try before taking back in for 2nd return (first return for defective bluetooth)
They originally had me use my Sim card and took mine out the phone that it came with. Then the NFc didn't work because of sim. So i go there and get a sim they pulled out of another s5 like they did mine and told me to call Verizon to activate it.
Thing is. 4g was working fine on that phone. Bluetooth was the problem and now on this device the 4g. I think it's the 4G hardware...

Right.. Hardware related.
but yes.. you can only use data while on the phone if your phone has 4g or on wifi since 3g uses the same signal as your calls do so fix the 4g and you should b good to go
