Nokia Nseries :: N8: Signal Drops 3-4 Bars?

Oct 31, 2012

I've been experiencing this strange problem for few weeks with my N8. When I'm receiving or making a call,network signal level drops from full to 2 bars. Happens only when i hold my phone from its lower end(where menu button is located). As long as i hold phone from its upper end(where audio jack is located), signal level is maintained to full bars. Such fluctuations don't occur when phone is lying still somewhERE. Signal starts dropping only when phone is held by its lower end. Happens while accessing 3G too. Is this a normal thing? I checked after changing SIM and switching to another network provider. Still the same.

Finally got my new iPhone 4.First thing I noticed was that the signal dropped to nothing when I held it in my hand at the bottom of the phone .the same way I have always held an iPhone.Made a phone call yesterday and the call dropped when I accidentally moved my hand to the bottom.Do the bumpers actually solve this problem or is that a myth?

IPhone :: 4 Drops Calls Constantly Despite Full Signal, Then Freezes?

Apr 5, 2012

I'm at the end of my tether! My iPhone4 drops calls for absolutely no reason at all, at least 50% of the time.It doesn't matter how strong my signal is, or whether the call is outgoing or incoming. The person on the other end doesn't sound like they are breaking up either - it just goes suddenly silent.Then, when I press 'end call'the phone freezes on 'call ending' - the only way out of this is then to reboot the phone.I've been back to the Apple Store in Glasgow twice, and to their credit they have replaced my handset twice within the last year;

however despite my THIRD handset doing exactly the same, they have told me that no more replacements will be given.I have tried doing a master reset and setting up again as a new phone to eliminate the possibility that something within my back-up is corrupt, but the end result is the same.I have five different Apple devices at home and am a huge fan, but I'm afraid this is making me envious of my friends who have Android phones (sorry, didn't mean to swear

Xperia Z3 :: Loss Of Network Signal During Calls And Drops Out

Jun 7, 2015

I have recently purchased a Z3 Dual sim D6633 and around twice a day either when receiving or making a call the phone suddenly drops out during conversation and both network strength bars are showing no signal. a message briefly shows up saying no no network signal ( or something to that effect ) then dissappears. A few seconds later the signal comes back for both sims and all is ok again. Why this is happening but its becoming frustrating especially when I have to call clients back.

Motorola Atrix 4G :: Drops Calls In Low Signal Strength Area?

Oct 19, 2011

Does anyone have any recommendations to improve the reception (and thus prevent excessively frequent dropped calls) while using my Atrix 4G in a fringe reception area outside of San Diego?Some background info:I had an AT&T Nokia 6030 for almost five (5) years before upgrading my service to the Atrix.I live and work from the same location, which has not changed during those five years.I did not encounter the problems of dropping calls on the Nokia 6030. I routinely call the very same people at aproxmately the very same times and days of the week with the very same phone numbers from the very same locations in my home and shop... sitting in my office desk chair, standing at my shop workbench, seated at my kitchen table, lying on my bed... and as far as I can telI, nothing on my end or on the other person's end has changed... phone numbers, land or mobile, calling patterns... but ever since I upgraded to the Atrix, I've had this problem consistently from the very first day.

I contacted AT&T many times, and they sent a warranty replacement phone; same resulting performance.The signal strength meter on the phone typically reads 2-3 bars in this area, which AT&T says should be sufficient.)It is so touchy and position/orientation sensitive that I can often drop the call from simply turning my head, or if lying in bed at night, switching the phAT&T went through the entire customer service/tech support gamut with me:Power down recycle, remove & reinstall the battery, replace the original SIM card that came with the Nokia (which still works flawlessly under identical circumstances if I put the SIM card back into it!), run network diagnostics on the tower equipment... they even sent out a crew of field engineers to the property to assess the signal characteristics.

After months of evaluation by the engineering department, they finally determined that the San Diego area is very high in signal strength, and the problem is due to the immediate area where I am located... hills, valleys, canyons, etc. There was nothing more that they could do. That was simply the level of performance I had to accept from this phone in this location. (Sorry.)I still don't know why the primitive technology in that old Nokia doesn't miss a beat. I find it hard to accept that the flagship product with advanced technology can't perform anywhere near as well as this dated Nokia.But I like the Atrix so much in every other way, I would even pay for a stationary antenna and/or signal conditioning/amplification equipment at my location to be able to use it here.

I have not found any such equipment offered for sale by either Motorola or AT&T listed on their websites. I know that there are aftermarket companies that sell such items, but I would really like to know if anyone has any specific experience with those items, particularly when used with the Atrix, or at least any reason to advise in one way or another toward a solution.

IPhone :: 3GS Reception Signal - Reception Bars Fluctuate Between 0-2 Bars At Most?

Jun 28, 2012

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.

Motorola Photon 4G :: Signal Bars Vs Signal Strength?

Jan 31, 2012

I was wondering if anyone knows what algorithm is used for the signal bars on the Photon 4G. I have found that there seems to be no correlation between the signal strength (in dBm / asu) in Settings -> About phone -> Status and the signal bars that are shown. Often the signal bars will shoot from 1 to 5 or 6 even with really low signal ( ~97 to > 100 dBm) that doesn't fluctuate.

IPhone :: Have Db Signal And Bars

Aug 15, 2010

Well I have found a way to easily switch your signal bars on your status bar from regular bars to db's and back whenever you want. Well I'm on the latest beta of 4.1 (8b5097d) on IPhone 4 and it does have feild test (maby it's just because I restored from my 3GS but idk). So go to your phone app and then to the keypad. Then type *3001#12345#* and press call, this will put u in field test app. At the top I can tap the bars and it will switch to db's and if tapped again it will go back. So once u tap to change to db's hold the sleep button till slide to power pops up then let go of the sleep button and hold the home button (this is a respiring). Once u do that u can just easily tap the bars or db's and switch where ever you are in your phone. Good luck hope it works on all your phones. And ps you don't need to be jailbroken!

Google Nexus 5 :: 4G / LTE Full Bars And Drops Connection

Jan 31, 2016

When i use LTE I get full bars and everything works fine for a couple of minutes. Then I lose connection. I can not open any webpages, update Twitter or anything else. The bars are full and the 4G icon is there. If I run a couple of apps like LTE Discovery or Network Signal Strength, they both show that I am connected with good quality. But nothing on the internet works. I have checked the APN. It is correct.

If I deactivate cellular data and switch it on again, I have connection for a few minutes again.

If I set it to 3G only, everything is working fine.

I have tested my sim in my wife's iPhone and it works fine, no connection drops.

The phone has been laying around for a while. I just started using it again, but I can not get what could cause this behavior.

I am on Android 6.0.1.

IPhone :: Signal Bars Drop Even With Case

Jun 30, 2010

I received my iPhone 4 on launch day via a pre-order. I am very grateful to have it and to have received it while others still try to get one. Anyway, onto the issue. I had signal drop issues from the get go, occasionally even a few dropped calls. Per Apple's statement and other blog recommendations I bought a case to alleviate the issue. It's the Griffin Reveal. It is a nice case too. Last night I noticed low signal bars after a dropped call and realized I was holding it over the left corner. I let go and up went the bars.

I called care. They opened a case # and gave me the same as anyone else. I was told that I needed a bumper to fix the issue, that they couldn't guarentee with any third party case it would fix the issue. I responded asking why I should give another $30 to fix an issue they know about. I asked if I would recieve and email or call to follow up and they said they didn't know. I will follow up in 2 days and let you know. Is this a ploy to just get people to spend more money? 1.7 million sold in three days x $30 for a bumper = $51 million more for.

IPhone :: Signal Bars Sporadically Cycling Down To One Bar

Feb 12, 2010

On my 3GS the signal bars are sporadically cycling down to one bar, then searching, then no service, then back to full 3G bars. All this happens in about the time span of 10 seconds or so. Anyone else have this issue on a 3GS that's jailbreak / unlocked! I've removed the blackrain app off the phone, winterboard and the issue continues to persist.

IPhone :: 4s On 5.0.1 No Signal Bars, Sim Works In Other Phones?

May 13, 2012

Some times my phone stops making and recieving calls. It looks like it is working, shows it has signal on the bars, for a while, then they disappear.I have tried hard and soft resets and restoring the phone. Usually if I leave the phone over night it starts working again in the morning so I figured it might have been a carrier issue. I am using GiffGaff but the phone was purchased directly from Apple and is factory unlocked. When this happens, if I make a call it looks like it is about to start making the call, but never changes; If you his the end call button it says Ending call... but freezes like this until you restart the phone or kill the phone app. I have tried my sim in my wifes phone and it works fine, I am unable to try anyone elses as they don't wish me to butcher their sims My phone acted exactly like this once when GiffGaff had issues one weekend, once they sorted their issues it has worked fine since.

I am a good 70 miles or so from a Genius bar and never really wanted to send the phone away in the post, as likely it'd take over a week to get it back, how ever, as my phones no longer functioning as a phone, I guess it isn't much of an issue any more If I could fix this myself I think it'd be great but I have started to get the feeling maybe it is some hardware issue with the phone.

IPhone :: Drop Calls - When Talking On Long Calls 20+ Minutes With Full Bars Phone Will Just Cut Off And Say Call Failed

Feb 10, 2010

I live in Downtown Los Angeles, so reception isn't a problem. I usually always get full bars. However, when talking on long phone calls 20+ minutes with full bars, my phone will just cut off and say call failed. Then I have no reception, then it just comes back.

Is this a iPhone issue or a ATT issue? I have an odd suspicion it's my phone because it occurs so frequently, but Ive had difficulty asking the apple bar to replace my phone just because of reception issues.

IPhone :: Loosing Cellular Data And Internet Connectivity With 3-4 Bars Of Signal?

Jun 12, 2012

I am having an awful time loosing cellular data - can't send or receive text messages, use Safari or Find my Friends etc. I came into the forums looking for help and found posts about the personal hotspot constantly spinning. I looked at mine and it was too. I did a hard reset and it finally stopped. Immediately I got connectivity back. I don't know if that is causing my loosing internet or not but it seems coincidence that when it stopped spinning I got it back.Simply going into and out of airplane mode and toggling cellular data on and off never restores connectivity. Often it will restore when I leave the building. But I have 3-4 bars of signal and 4G listed as available when I'm inside.Also, something is chewing up my battery. I was at 100% when I left the house at 8 am and at 65% at 10 am with the phone sitting on the desk doing nothing.
