Why does my phone randomly end calls/lose signal whilst I am talking to people. SIM card is fine in other phones etc

Hi all, I have WM6 almost for week now and first I was very pleased by it as the SD card issue seems to be fixed, but I started noticing a weird phone behavior. For example, Sometimes I'm not able to turn off the flight mode, sometimes my phone stops showing signal and I have to soft-reset but the most annoying thing is, that the signal reception seems really weak. I'm not able to make a call from many places where I could before. Just entering a building makes the indicator to drop half down. Does anybody have the same experience?
For me, the signal recepetion is the same than Windows Mobile 5.
No changing
Hello guys,
I just got my X1 (Generic_UK) few days ago, and i was shocked by the poor reception or i might say the dropped calls by the phone.
In fact each conversation the phone was managed to dropp the call by itself after 2 -3 minutes maximum, so i had to call the other party all over again.
I updated the firmware to R2AA010 yesterday and switch the network to GSM only, and that didn't fix this problem, and i also used my friend's card (different carrier and end up with same result)
Any one can help me with this issue ? if I'd never fix this problem , I'd definetly sell it out.
Thanks.
probably won't help, but my phone shows exactly the same behaviour.
i am on a 1800 GSM network.
an update of the radio rom to the newest version that is available here on the forum did not help.
TBH this sounds like a phone fault... mine works flawlessly and now that I have 010 ROM its even better... are you in a very remote area? if not perhaps its a fault and you might need to take it back?
The HTC Touch HD seems to be affected by exactly the same problem. (link)
Strange
Well, I'm running the Voda X1i but flashed to Generic UK R2A_10. I have had nothing but perfect calls, only 1 call dropped but I don't think it was my fault because my signal was max.
It's true the signal is often low, I keep it next to my iPhone which is also on voda and comparatively the iPhone has better signal, but the sound quality in my iphone is appauling and in comparison, when I make a call on my Xperia it's like the person is standing next to me.
I have put up with the BS from my iPhone for too long, as well as the horrendous echo that anyone that calls me suffers from and invariably complains about and refuses to call me.
If you're in a good signal area and you're still getting problems on R2A_10 i'd recommend returning it for a replacement.
X1 definitely has serious reception problem.
I am not taking about the number of bars but off and on signal are comepltely gone and it will start searching for a network.
I have tested this by putting the phone on the table and by observing the signals bars over a long period of time. Often I have noticed full signal bars and many time there are not signals at all.
Service is weak in my area but none of my pervious mobiles have shown such a poor reception.

I have never had any problems with reception or dropped calls.

I have an AT&T Atrix that I got unlocked. The only problem I have with it is that everytime that I hang up a phone call, it loses signal for about 25 seconds then the signal bars come back on. Does anyone else have this problem? At first I thought it was the phone, but I tried my friends AT&T sim card and it worked fine. When I use it with T-Mobile, the internet connection is on EDGE, which is fine with me, since the web browsing is actually fast on it. But everytime after I hang up on a phone call, I lose the signal. I really like the phone, but stuck on what to do. I had hard resetted it already, and same thing, it still loses signal after hanging up.
I need help this is driving me insane!
I've been running Dynamic Kat Rom for about 6 months or so now. Everything was working fine then all of a sudden a week or two ago I noticed my mobile data is not enabling at all.
I can only connect on Wifi and only receive SMS.
I've tried
- Messing will all the data/network settings
- Turning Mobile Data on and off -- no effect
- Toggling Airplane Mode on and off as suggested in some places
- Wiping everything but Data and reflashing latest ROM
- Reseating the SIM card
- several other things I forgot..
I do see the carrier information in the top left (AT&T) and I am getting signal bars.. but not indicator for 4G/LTE/etc
I've been messing with this for a week now and it's driving me insane.. I can't get a connection anywhere unless I'm on Wifi.
Anyone have any suggestions? I'm not super phone savvy, but willing to try any suggestions anyone may have.
Hmmm.. weird.
So I called AT&T and asked them about it.. figuring it could possibly be a carrier issue.
They told me to try things I had already done 100 times.. turn the phone off and on.. turn wifi off... etc.
I turned Wifi off... (which I had done 50,000 times before) and 4G popped up.
I guess they did something. So.. guess it's resolved.
Problem has returned.. same issue. I will have 4G signal for hours and then all of a sudden it will drop completely and I can't get a data signal no matter what I do.
I see AT&T in the corner and have signal bars, so I AM getting some kind of signal.. but no data connection whatsoever.
It seems completely random and intermittent.. I can have data signal for days with no issues then I will lose it for days.
Restarting the phone 5-20 times sometimes fixes it.. but that's about it. Anyone have any ideas what could be causing this?
Bad signal / carrier issue?
Call them and report a fault in your area?
I have called them multiple times, they will reset the signal.. sometimes it will come back right away, sometimes it wont.
And this happens regardless of where I am. I know for a fact where I am right now has a great signal strength. I get 4-5 bars on average. But this also happens at home as well about 20 miles away, which also has a good signal, or anywhere I go really it can happen. This isn't in the middle of nowhere either, it's smack in the middle of SoCal (LA/OC)
I'm beginning to think it may be a SIM card issue or a hardware issue with the phone. I'm going to try asking them to send me a new SIM card.
Another thing I will notice is when I have a working 4G LTE connection, and I'm on Wifi... it will sometimes CONSTANTLY switch back and forth between wifi and 4G like every 10 seconds, even when I have full signal strength on Wifi and 4G.
Disable Smart Network Switching in WiFi settings
it's nothing but a buggy headache, disabling might fix most of your problems, almost certainly the constant switching back and forth
Yeah forgot to mention I have disabled that. It's disabled now. It solves the constant switching back and forth (when I actually have a data connection), but that's kind of a separate issue as the losing data connection.
I have the s7 edge t mobile on stock firmware latest updates. I had it unlocked remotely on ebay to accept my straight talk att sim card. It works but randomly it will not make or receive calls. The signal bars are still there when this happens though sometimes they disappear with a x and it comes right back but still can't make calls right away. I did have to cut my sim card but I don't think that is the issue sense it is making calls and the issue is random. But the issue is also frequent.
