Dropped Calls...

Is there any sort of log stored on the G1 that records why a call was dropped? I'm having a really bad issue with my G1 dropping calls, but it only happens in my apartment... I have 5 bars, 3G Signal, can hear the person on the other end very clearly and then I hear the dropped call tone and the call disconnects. This will happen within 30 seconds of an incoming or outgoing call being connected and will happen multiple times. I called T-Mobile and they opened a request to have someone look to see if it is an issue on the cell tower.
Mine just skips ringing altogether. Rings 4-5 times for the caller, and then to voicemail. I dont know they called until I get a missed call alert.
Just one more thing to "leave to the programmers" I guess LMFAO
same issue.
i have a lot of dropped calls with the lady. she has att so maybe thats the issue since sending mms to att is like prying out teeth. can receive but cannot send
hbguy
any solution to this ?
go back to your old phone until the next "update" comes out Thats what I have been doing Sucks having a phone that does cool stuff...except actually working as a phone

drops calls like an iPhone 4

if i hold it like a normal person would hold it, it drops calls like crazy. i find myself having to do the iPhone hold on it and it works fine. anybody else having this problem? any solutions?
Absolutely no problems here with reception and calls regardless of how I hold the phone.
I haven't dropped a single call. I even kept reception in a spot here I have dropped calls with every other phone I have ever had.

Same. Especially since Samsung has been so bad in this regard.
i think i hold the phone like most people do.. no problems at all.
I've noticed that if I hold my hand over the bottom of the backside of the phone, I will lose a couple bars. But my signal isn't that great to begin with. Never dropped a call, though.
I don't get any drop calls, I held my phone like the way it should be and no problem at all. I have the iPhone 4 also and I like the Vibrant more
I was on a call today to a land line and my call dropped 3 times while I had full signal strength. Somethings fishy. The phone was in speakerphone mode in a cradle.

I'm pretty sure that's not what this thread is about, but it does sound like an issue. I've never had a dropped call on T-Mobile, unless I went into a dead zone which only happened once. That was also like 5 years ago.
havent had any dropped calls even in my old apartment where I wasnt able to get any signal with my blackberry.
Probably a lemon, get a replacement.
My bars are all over the place when I hold it with my right hand, but I normally talk on my left and I've yet to loose a call. Sounds awesome via the speaker too.
Quit trying to be as good, or bad, as the iPhone. Jesus.
You know, I've noticed that when I press END I have a dropped call, just like the I gadget.
The Samsung Vibrant does have the antenna built on the lower left corner. If you look at disassembling process from youtube, you will find it justified.
Some do claim their Vibrant will have a similar death-grip issue when holding where the antenna is built, but so far not much ppl reported an actual drop call, just a few bars dropped which may affect the quality of the call~

Could be the fact that its too new..Almost every electronic has problems. Remember when the 360 and ps3 would litteraly explode? Same thing with this id guess
I haven't dropped any calls yet, but I've missed a few because I was holding the phone in my left hand and using the browser or typing an SMS. I will just randomly get voice mail notifications, without the phone ever ringing. When I get the notification I'll look at the signal strength meter and there will be no bars. Switching the phone back to my right hand (or setting it down) will return to full signal strength.

How do you hang up a second call?

I know I must be missing something easy here.
When I am on a call and I get a second call I can answer the call. I can transfer between the two calls, but I can't hang up on one of the calls. The second call seems to stay connected, even if the other party hung up the line.
How can I hang up on one of the calls without disconnecting both calls?
Thanks!
Yeah, it sucks. That's CDMA for ya. I always worry about it using my minutes because it's usually a landline that I stop talking to & switch back to a cell call.
I just drag the notifications bar down and click the end call button to the right of the person's name.

Signal loss during calls

Hello, i've got a strange issue with my Nexus 4. Sometimes, when i make or recieve a call, the signal goes down, but the call doesn't end. And i think that the person on the other side of the phone can still hear me, but i don't hear him. I must close the call and make a new one to keep talking. It happens a couple of times every day and it's very annoying. Does someone have the same issue?

Calls going silent

I have been experiencing this problem with making some phone calls where it connects to the line I am calling, but it goes silent. They can hear me, but I can't hear them. I have found that it usually depends on who you are calling. I just did a test with a friend's cell phone and a land line. I called the land line 10 times in a row and there is never a problem. But when calling my friend's cell phone, it is random. Would go silent the first time, then be ok the next 2 times, then silent again, and so forth. Also, my friend's cell phone is set so that it only rings one time, and then the voice mail picks up. I know this from looking at the top right of the phone screen where it says "Dialing", and when the call connects, you will see a time counter. When the time counter is running, it is still silent.
I wiped the phone app cache and system caches, but the problem still occurs.
Any ideas why this is happening?

Similar issue here....I use the Ice View case....do you? I go in and out of silence with people all the time.
No, but I'm not sure how the case would have anything to do with it

well considering I get weird behavior from the case all the time (25% of the time wont show music controls on double tap when music is playing, occasionally doesn't pick up or hang up on swipe)....I think its quite possible it could affect call quality/mic volume if it can exhibit these odd/wrong behaviors as much as it does.
