I have the same office for over two years and lived in the same home for 19 years. ATT claims the phone is defective.It has never been dropped. It does not have any marks or scratches on it.When in my office a an SOS signal. I get text messages and emails.Any one know of a solution or is this BB a non-reliable phone.

I have a Torch 9800 which is on the vodafone network and when I am at home in my flat I get zero reception (SOS). I initially thought it may be a network issue but this is not the case since when I switch my SIM to my girlfriend's phone (a Nokia) it shows full reception.
I haven't noticed a similar problem in any other locations but that's not to say it doesn't happen elsewhere i'm just unlikely to notice something like that anywhere other than at home or at work.

When I synchronise my Desktop with my devise I am loosing Outlook notes because the notes field in my Torch is limited. So if I have extended my notes in outlook and then synchronize at the end of the day, I loose part of the notes I have written because the notes field in the torch wont accept them.Can the notes field in the Torch be extended?

I recently moved to a basement apartment and have trouble with reception - too much concrete i guess. Anyone know a way of boosting reception on a Blackberry Bold to get better reception quality in such a situation?

I have the problem that the wifi works on my Xperia z2 only very limited. If my smartphone is connected to the wifi, everything is either very fast and good, or it loads only very slowly and almost did not go. It also disturbs other devices (PC, Playstation, etc.), which are then work very slowly. When i turn of my wifi from the smartphone, all other devices functioning again as always, and everything loads very fast again. I have that problem since one week.

I want you to try a couple of things based off what about to say. Today when I was around my house doing the normal everyday thing my phone at this time would have between 3-4 bars. As soon as I touched the left side slowly my phone dropped connection. (We all know this) Now the interesting part is today I was driving around and stoped by my local coffee shop. I looked at my phone and sure enough it was blue with full five bars. I tried every angle to touch the left side and guess what I could not get it to drop any bars. So I guess my point of this post is to see if people have tired this test in different spots just not around their office or home. I believe this issue is more widespread then customers are willing to admit or at least test.

So I waited patiently in line for my iPhone 4 at my local AT&T store this morning. I paid and then left with my brand new phone. I decided to test out the RF of the phone by driving through weak areas. Places where my 3gs and Bold 9700 lost signal the 4 held on strong (calling and texting too). There were a few places where all phones were lost as far as getting a signal, but the iPhone 4 had usable coverage in places others didn't. Later in the afternoon I left on vacation (at the hotel now) and the iPhone 4 held on where the other phones always lost it (the gaps between two towers). My brother complained he didn't have any signal (LG AT&T phone) and I looked at my iPhone 4 and had 2 bars EDGE. Got to the hotel and only had 2 bars 3G with the iPhone 4. I put my brother's sim in my 3gS and that phone remained at 'No Service'. It won't magically create signal, but IMO the iPhone 4 does an amazing job of finding service and holding on in fringe areas. With all of the "reception" issues, I thought I'd just like to point out not all of us are having the same issues.
*I've used BB 9700, 3GS, and v3xx all within the past 3 months or so.

When exercising on the treadmill at the gym, I have tried the "Walking/Indoors" program. At first I calibrated it at 3.0 mph (I actually run at 4.5mph). The pedometer seemed to be right on track, but the speed was just all over the place. So I read discussions in the forum that said it should be calibrated at the actual mph at which you walk/run. So I recalibrated today at 4.5 mph, and still the speed was jumping everywhere but the correct number.Full disclosure: My excercise routine is a power-walk (all that's left for me to do due to a spinal condition). I wear the ACTV on my wrist because I like to keep checking the stats. Even if I hold my arm still in front of me, the speed keeps oscillating.

For those who have the Lumia 950XL, can you comment on signal strength as it relates to the Dual Antenna feature that was touted when the device was first announced? I kept hearing about this Adaptive Antenna Technology that blends signal from two antennas and that the 950XL utilized this technology. Was it just another one of those hype vehicles to sell units or does the Lumia 950XL actually get better signal/reception due to this adaptive antenna feature?

I'm on Fido's network and have already my previous iPhone with Apple for the same issue. My phone just loses reception and goes in "searching" mode. Toggling "airplane" mode doesn't work either. Today I didn't have service for good two hours. Sometimes it would show I have reception but won't allow me to make a call or send text message. My current iPhone is just over a week old but the guy at the Apple store said its an issue with my carrier. I know thats not true since my wife has an iPhone as well and she never has this problem. I'm using the latest version software on my 3GS. Should I swap it again because this is becoming a headache now?
Anyone else having the same problem and if so then have you been able to resolve it?

I need help getting cell tower reception on my phone. Using China Unicom as Network Carrier. I am located in Guangzhou China (a major metropolis). The problem is not with the SIM Card itself because it has been tested and placed in other phones & it works well. Reception Bars fluctuate between 0-2 bars at most, both in and outdoors.Have noticed these problems since upgrading the phone to IOS 5.0 & now also on 5.1.1. No problem with Wi-Fi Networks. I have also tried Resetting the Network & taking out the SIM Card and putting it back in, but this has not helped.
Info:
iPhone 3GS, iOS 5.1.1, Model MC637ZA Serial 83028W5VEDG

I recently debranded my C905a and I want to know if anyone knows for a fact that if by doing so I have reduced my phone's ability to mainain a decent reception signal. If I remeber correctly, I had the same problem before I debranded. I've called Sony Ericsson about the low reception strength and they told me that it was a network problem. I know that is not true b/c before the C905a, I was using a Nokia 2610 (a cheapie until I could upgrade) and that phone always had a signal virtually anywhere and I can count on 1 hand how many dropped calls I had using that phone. I do live out in a semi-rural area but, my mother has a Nokia 6555 (I live w/ her) and she does not have the problem with dropped calls like I do. But, w/ the C905a, I have to put the phone on speaker 3/4 of the time b/c when I put the phone to my ear, it simply looses all reception. The closer to the city I get, the reception problem becomes less an issue.

My Atrix was working just fine for the past month, and this morning all of a sudden I'm not getting ANY signal/reception. I can't make phone calls nor send texts. Sometimes the signal comes back but it's just for 2 or 3 minutes and then the signal is completely gone again. When I plug the SIM card into another phone it works just fine so that rules out AT&T's problem. Wi-fi works just fine. I factory reset the phone but the problem still exists. I am already out of the 30-day return/exchange policy, what can I do? Is this problem going to be fixed for the next update?
Screen shot shows when my phone is completely out of signal.

I noticed a weird bug or limitation in my E72s PDF reader. When I open a large PDF file, I can't seem to browse past page 151. Manually nor using 'go to'. My firmware is 22.007, latest for my region (Netherlands). Can anyone confirm this? Trying to read any PDF eBook should do it.

I have tested Magellan and Tom-tom but always Garmin is my personal favorite. I have Garmin Ique 3600, Nuvi (350, 200, 780) and XT, which is also on N85. So now I am testing Nokia Maps.First of all, do we call Nokia maps or Ovi maps? Second I tried to search Staples, Office depot, Home depot and found NONE, and when searched Macy'S found many (all searches off-line). So is Nokia maps designed for Women. On the other hand Garmin XT bit slower search but found all.So my question is can we download PIO databases, not one or two PIO but tons of them from somewhere. Also is there a way so that Guidance will say 200 FEET instead of 365 YARDS.

Unfortunatley I have just had to pick up a replacement Z3.
With this one, I am having issues with the WIFI range. Where with my old one I could get WIFI in the garden (Router is in the living room on the first floor) and at work I sit the furthest away from the router, but again on my old Z3 I had no issues. This new one, as soon as I leave the living room the signal drops and disconnects, and at work the WIFI only connects as I walk past the router.

I am looking to get an e72 for work and wanted some help re the voice recorder function. I do a lot of interviews in the course of my work and find it handy to use my mobile as a backup voice recorder in case my dictaphone fails (which does happen every now and again). My current phone is OK for this as the voice recording is in mp3 format and is decent quality with no restriction on length of recording. My previous phone had a 2 minute time limit which made it useless.
None of the reviews or tech specs that I have found detail the voice recording on the e72. Could someone who has the phone do me a huge favour and check this for me. What format does it record in? What is the quality like if the phone is on a conference table, could I realistically expect it to record a few voices at up to 2m away? Is there any time limit? Is it easy to transfer to PC and play in windows media player if necessary?
