IPhone :: IPhone 4 Is So Buggy / It Drops Calls And Crashes
Aug 24, 2010
I love this phone when it works. The screen and functions are unbelievable. But ever since I bought it, it drops calls, lags, and is just buggy overall. It really drives me crazy. Im going to be starting a new job soon that will require me to be on the phone with clients all the time, and I cannot have a phone that is dropping calls at this rate. It happens about every other week. But when it happens its like everything goes nuts. People tell me they called me and I dont have any missed calls. I'll also get voicemails and texts way later than when they were sent. Also sometimes I will have full service and texts just wont go out - even after I try restarting my phone.
I love all the features this phone has, but seriously I need it to be a great phone first.. I feel like im going to be downgrading hard by going to a Bold 9700, but I need the quality phone.
Couldn't find anything similar in the forum so I thought to start a new thread;I've noticed that my iPhone 4 drop calls much more often when I have wi-fi activated! Has anyone else noticed that???
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?
I got am iPhone 4 since Oct 14 2011 it was great but like a moth ago my phone star dropping calls almost every single call i made i know there is problems whit the antennas but these didt happened when i got my phone. my mom has the same phone and her phone is perfect no drop calls at all
My iPhone 4S drops calls all the time. In fact, we have a half dozen of these at work that replaced BlackBerries. The other big complaint is terrible battery life. Is Apple working on a fix to these issues?
SO EVERYONE CAN SHUT IT. Seriously guys chill the hell out. This happens to me on my LG EnV2 if I hold it the wrong way near the top of the phone. EVERY TIME. IT CAN HAPPEN WITH ANY PHONE ON ANY NETWORK.I mean it's just absurd what is going on here on these message boards.
After the most recent update my phone during calls the voice completely drops off. Sometimes it is 3 minutes in and sometimes it is less or more. The call will not drop but I cannot hear the other person and the other person cant hear me. Its like it is muting on its own. Has anyone else had this issue? What do you suppose I should do?
iPhone 4 consistently drops call when touching the lower left corner of the device. I did it four times on video, but could have done it all night. Hopefully this is just a lemon.
I have been pretty happy with my iPhone 4 up until today but I have discovered a bit of a problem.When I touch the bottom left of the phone the signal drops 1 - 2 bars.It has not been dropping calls but I dont think my phone should be doing this. Is anyone else experiencing this issue?
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
In the Photos app. Version 4.0.1.Sometimes graphics are missing, like the trash can bar. The pictures won´t turn at all when you turn the phone. (Yes portrait lock is off).Actually 4.0.1 is probably the buggiest version I´ve ever seen on the iPhone and I´ve gone through all the updates since my first 3G iPhone.
Is it purposely designed that Z3+ dual automatically drops data connection in calls? or it's just something wrong with my phone? For me it is necessary to go online while talking on the phone at the same time. I've tried to deactivate one of the SIM and the same problem persists.Â
When I make calls or am called, they frequently cut out for no reason.This might have already been discussed before but I would like to find out if something can be done about that.
I have a Galaxy S5 and recently installed the lollipop update. Not sure if that is what is causing this issue or not since I can't be sure if it didn't begin immediately, but I now have a situation that when I am on a call and another call comes in (call waiting), both calls drop without me touching a button or accepting the incoming call.
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.
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.
I noticed I am not able to adjust the volume on a phone call while I am holding the phone to my ear. When I pull the phone away from my head and press the volume button down the phone hangs up.
1- Can't adjust volume on call while phone is being held to ear
2- Volume down button press causes phone to end call
I have the e72 for two months now and I Use it for my business. The thing is that the phone keeps crashing in mid conversation in a rate of once or twice a week. When it crash and restarts itself it takes around a minute until I can make a phone call.
This is unacceptable from a business device. Sometimes it crash just as I press the answer key on an incoming call and on other occasions it crashes in mid conversation.
I have the newest firmware version 22.007 installed and I even installed handy manager just to make sure that the phone doesn't run out of memory (is doesn't. I usually have above 25mb ram left).
On the background I have TR Lite (original, bought from Ovi store) running and recording all conversation and sometimes I have Fring for Skype and msn. Both of these apps are not set to be System Application, so even if the phone should sun out of memory it will close them and not crash...
I don't know what to do any more I even formatted the phone and installed everything from the beginning. I have sent Nokia 2 emails about a month ago (from the contact us in the website) and got no reply.Is this just me or does this happen to other peoples as well?
Another problem that I have is when creating new email. In the past when ever I would write a new email I would get list of suggested email addresses in the "To" field. For example, if I would was to write the letter S I would get the suggested email address of the people in my address book whose name starts with an S (Sam, Sofia, Sandra, etc). For some reason this feature stopped working on my phone and I can't find how to make it work again. If I want to send an email I need to manually write the email address in the "To" field every time.
I have a droid turbo. I work in the city so there are cell towers everywhere but my office is in the middle of a building and I have no windows. My calls get dropped or cut in and out unless I turn off the advanced call feature. Other people with different phones have no problems in my office. Can I leave this feature off all the time? The one day I did leave it off and I was not at work and I tried to make a call and got a message saying the call could not connect so I don't know if it will create other problems. I usually have two bars in my office and 4G lte. We have Wi-Fi but are not allowed to use it.
As of this morning, every time I go to use the dialer it crashes. I can go through people and make calls, but can't go directly through the dialer. I tried resetting my phone. Really don't want to do a hard reset, but if I have to I will.
I'm currently on O2, and I'm about to switch to 3. I've put the new SIM in the phone, but when I try and make a call the dialler crashes and the phone reboots. I've read some other people have similar issues, but I can't seem to find a solution.
The main reason i bought the phone.Was because of a virtually non existent signal on the Orange network.(dropping calls etc).Anyway. To cut a long story short.It will find UMA.But takes an age to lock on.And sometimes when making /receiving calls i get cut off and my router crashes (loses internet connection)!If i go into my wifi settings in my phone (wifi diagnostics). Under UMA it says 'UMA connection failed'.But no 'error' code!!
I have checked my router setings and everything seems ok as it does on my phone. But this morning i contacted AOL router support and they told me that it will not be the router but an issue with the phone!
While i am typing this.It has just found UMA (after approx 1 hour of trying) but if i make a call or receive one , i will more than likely be cut off.I forgot to mention that i have a 'speedtouch'(thompson) router. And am thinking of asking AOL for a 'Netgear'!Would this help?Although my laptop and xbox 360 run just fine via the speedtouch with no problems whatsoever
I have big problems with the default e-mail app on X10. It keeps loading every e-mail that I ever received, one by one, meaning that the app is slower and slower as time passes. At ~500 e-mails, it is not usable any more. It is veeery slow, it does not manage to download new e-mails, etc.The only solution I have found is to delete the entire e-mail account when it gets too slow. Once I have gone through all the steps of adding my account from scratch, e-mails download without problem. That is, for a few weeks, until I need to delete the account again...Of course, I found a great e-mail app on the Market. But of course, TimeScape only loads e-mails from the default app...... Is the e-mail app default Android, or is it specific to SE?
last night while going to the movies,I grabbed my phone and noticed it was just showing vertical lines of colors. the phone still functioned.I'm pretty used to A200, that I could still navigate the phone, without seeing anything on the screen.I thought the phone was just bugging out at first, so I thought it was just my phone bugging out.I took out the battery and restarted it. unfortunately, the problem was permanently, and I was convinced it was a broken screen (although there were no cracks.I just left my phone sitting on a table overnight screen facing down. when I looked at it the next day, I noticed a small droplet of water on the inside of the glass. the drop is pretty tiny.I was wondering if anyone else had problem with moisture in their k800, specifically with the screen. I'm not sure if I need a new screen or a new phone. I'm afraid that the moisture just got into the LCD connector to the main board and now its all screwed up. im hoping the moisture may have just screwed with the LCD, so i can just replace it.as far as replacing goes, im stumped. where is my candybar c905, or why the heck doesn't the c901 have wifi. id love a fairly modern phone w/ a good camera/xenon flash/ and wifi. im pretty iffy as far as touch screens go. sholes tablet/motoroi looks really interesting though. should I hold out for MWC before I consider replacing?
My phone and apps are up to date and yet both Nokia Music and Music + Videos apps seem to be very buggy. In Nokia Music you can't fast forward songs (from what I can tell) In both apps, you can't skip songs, sometimes a song won't even play unless you manually launch another song and then go back and pick the first song. Sometimes a song has some weird audio glitches but other times it plays just fine. Once a songs stops playing, it goes back to song list instead of playing the following songs. I downloaded a free third party player and it doesn't seem to have any of these issues. Come on, Nokia/Microsoft, I shouldn't rely on third party apps to play my songs properly.
I own a Nokia N8 and have installed Nokia Battery Monitor 2.1 and I've noticed that the native battery level monitor is always reporting more battery level than the Nokia Battery Monitor.Also I'm experiencing problems with the native monitor because it seems to be stuck at the same level (It has been stuck at 100% while Nokia Battery Monitor reported 70%).Switching off the phone hasn't solved the problem until I used restore the phone to factory default option but know it is stuck at 80% (and Nokia Battery Monitor reports 53%)
Since the update, I have been having an issue with my sounds for notifications just go silent and the phone reverts to vibrating only. The thing is, the notifications are still set to "sound" and they play correctly when I go through the select notification sound option.
