Hi fellow Atrix users! I just noticed this problem(?) recently. If i want to call someone, and i terminated the call early without someone picking up the phone (on the other side), then I will lose my signal temporary for like 20 seconds or so. My phone will show up no signal and no carrier name for 20 seconds. Then if the other side picks up the phone, then i will not have this issue. Is this common? Or something is wrong with my phone?

I have had 2 different vibrants now and they both have done the same thing. I haven't been able to isolate the problem to any one thing so I ask if there is anyone else experiencing the same problem. My network connection just freezes. I can't call or text and I have no data. If I try to make a call, it freezes on dialing and the only way to get it back is reboot. This is happening about twice a day and is really a pain. The only way I know it has happened is by trying to make a call and it freezes. I don't know how long it has been that way and when people try to call me, it goes straight to vmail. I put a new SIM card in thinking that was the problem, but it didn't help. I have searched everywhere trying to find a fix. TMO CSR was absolutely no help at all. Shocking.
BTW I am in an area with no 3G coverage. I am on EDGE all the time.

Since you have had the problem now with two different phones it could be a result of some app(s) you have installed, or related to your coverage. Did thr problem start after having each phone for some time?
I am working on ruling out an app. Weird thing is, I have had winmo for over 3 years in the same area with no probs. This is my first android. I am uninstalling an app at a time to figure out if it is one.
****Update****
So I uninstalled the ESPN Scorecenter app. I haven't had a freeze in over 24 hrs. Guess I am going to have to find another app to follow the games while I am at church.
are you sure u r in area that has only Edge? have u try to Lagfix the fone?
goodluck.
This just happened to my wife's Vibrant. This reminds me of when I had the T-mobile Shadow, where suddenly, it would not be able to send or receive data or calls BUT the phone itself shows no indications of any signal problems. It's as if the cellular software component has frozen and so the signal bars are frozen to whatever state they were and thus tricking you into thinking everything is fine until you try to make a call or someone calls you on a landline wondering if your cell phone is dead.
I suspect it's due moving into a poor or zero signal area and the phone tries to make a data connection. I really have no idea how to fix this other than to hope there is a firmware update to resolve this. The only fix is to reboot the phone (flipping the phone to flight mode gets one to a state where you can't turn flight mode off... which indicates a lost of control to the cellular component).
I am consider finding a way to reboot the phone nightly, which will help if this happens overnight, but I wish there was a way to detect this more immediately so it can reboot when needed. Perhaps an app that monitors the carrier signal strength and if the signal level is perfectly the same for a long duration, then a lock up of the cellular component is suspected.
So here are my issues so far.
I had static on two calls so far. Then my two last calls, there was no static but the person could hear me.
Miscellaneous unable to send texts.
Also I have internet drop issues randomly, in both good and bad 4g areas.
I'm heading to the Verizon store here in a few to get some help, but i was curious if you guys think this is a hardware or software issue?
Thanks
I've noticed the 3G data stop for about 5 seconds and start back up occasionally here in the Akron area... (visiting...) I didn't notice it doing that at all when I purchased the phone in Northwest Ohio...
All I can say is that I haven't had a single problem with my TB since I got it.
The only issue I have had was the texting the long number problem.
Hey so went into the verizon store. Guess I had a bad phone. Got a replacement phone and now all is working!
Hi, I have strange problem with my SGS2. While I'm in my apartment I simply can't use it to make phone calls.
Someone calls me, I answer, either by dragging or by pressing home button (I set that option in the call setting menu). But nothing happens, ringing stops, but screen stays the same, showing that someone is calling me, and of course, it isn't connected, no voice is coming through. I can drag answer icon all day long but it won't make it connect. If caller is patient enough it will connect after 30-60 seconds after I tried to answer the call.
Second problem is that if I call someone, or it connects us after those 30-60 seconds, call will simply be dropped after 5-10 seconds.
Signal is fine, 3 or 4 bars, when I'm somewhere else I don't have these issues. Few days ago I got called while I was in underground garage in same building I live in, there were no bars on signal indicator, but phone answered immediately and it didn't drop for those 2-3 minutes I talked. But When I'm in my apartment (I live on the 4th floor, there are no large buildings blocking the signal, and anyway, phone says signal is 3-4 bars...) I'm unable to make or answer calls.
This is from the first day I bought it, at first I thought it's something with network, that they were doing something, since my old HTC Legend had no problems here, but after a month it's the same.
Do android phones have radio "part" in their software? Like older WinMo phones did? I remember my yet older HTC Artemis had so I could flash other radio versions to get better reception and battery life.
Or does someone have better idea? Because I'm all out, warranty is useless since this isn't something that happens everywhere so I can't show "them" it doesn't work...
Firmware is stock, I debranded it from t-mobile to XWKE7, kies recognizes it so I think I did that part OK. But anyway, this problem is from day one, before I reflashed it for the first time.

Yes it baseband/Modem interchangeable and flashed as phone via Odin .
Question = Q&A section .

Thanks, I'll look if there are alternative software for baseband/modem. Hopefully that will help.
Hi Guys,
For some reason, this morning my SGS2 has started "ending calls" randomly.
As soon as I make a call it drops the call. I have full coverage and everything seems fine. I also can't receive calls when this happens as if my device was off. Goes straight to voice mail.
I appreciate any helpful input.
I've spoken to my carrier re this problem and they said it could be because they were experiencing problems with the coverage in the area.
Ever since that day I havent experienced the problem again so I assume that was the reason.
If you have similar problem, find out from your carrier if the have any coverage problem at your location.
hi we just use htc radar alittle over a week, but experiencing frequent dropping calls. It happens at work, at school and while driving, it's strangely frustrating. I had a webchat with tmo customer service. Basically, they said that the people around listed areas are experiencing same problems, and i'm not the only one. They
It doesn't make complete sense when I had no problem with iphone 3S, and blackberry curve 9300.
I tried to google htc radar dropping call issues, but not a lot hits on it. I got this phone via microsoft challenge (2 weeks ago), has anyone experiencing similar situation ? is this a known issue with htc radar, or microsoft is handing out crappy phone?
Thank you for your input.
YES!!! I am not the only one, glad to hear, i also did a google search w/ weak results, sound like we are twins
anyways, I had original Galaxy before and never had problems walking around house, inside of school buildings. but now w/ Radar, seems like I have to be near a window or edge or building/house. If I'm dead center of my house, I'm losing the call. I was on the phone pulling into garage, and yup, phone lost connection. My wife is running into same issue.
Extremely frustrating and disappointing. So far only 1 important phone call dropped, but hopefully I can live w/ it, or maybe an update can fix it
No issues here, hopefully just network related!

I get dropped calls too. People try to call me and when I answer it automatically hangs up on them. I think its T-Mobile because my friend has the LG G2X and hers do it as well
Well, from my experience, it is 100% the phone. Like I said, I had the Galaxy and never had problems on the phone in my house or work/building. But now that I'm on Radar, i get dropped calls in home and extremely weak reception @ work and inside of buildings.
I have the phone... A d I have not had any issues with drop calls.

Hi guys,
i just gonna open same topic
I havedrop calls when i'm on internet, i only get messig from secretary that i got call but did't ring. I'ts start to anoy me.
a few days ago I got a update on my HTC Radar, changed only firmware version
22 feb .. 1600.2200.20103.401
now .. 1600.2200.20501.401
I noticed that the drop calls disappeared ...
I had the radar and every time someone calls me and I answer it just hangs up. Sometime I can have full bars and it just hangs up. Contacted t-mobile and they sent me a replacement and it does the same thing. I believe its the network because I had a LG double play and it did the same thing. Switch to Straight Talk I get no dropped calls on my radar
