Been using the S2 for a few weeks now, great phone.
However I have noticed recently to be having more dropped calls.
The phone has been rooted, unbranded (from O2), latest fw and networked unlocked. I use the Three network in the UK.
2 others I know with the phone have experienced some too, so interested in the experiences of other owners.
Yeah strangly my phonecalls drops alot
Not a single dropped call so far.
Perhaps you're holding it the wrong way.
No dropped calls on mine.

I have had this problem for about a month now. Until then (from July last year) everything was fine. I dial, and then phone says "Dialing" for approximately 2 seconds, and then says "Call Ended".
This is driving me crazy. I got a new SIM card because I read somewhere that the SIM card may be the problem. But it didn't help.
Once or twice have I had the situation where it says dialing, but never seems to dial, stays there for a long time, and then disappears.
The thing that I've also noticed is that if I go away from my home it does not fail.
This weekend I drove approximately 40 miles. I made maybe 20 calls because I was testing my phone. Every one was successful.
It seems that if I leave this particular area it works great. As soon as I get close to my house again, failed calls.
Any suggestions? it seems like a network problem, but my wife's phone never fails here. It is a different phone by the way.
I have seen a few posts about this, mostly in the T-Mobile vibrant forum, but no real solution, except getting a different brand. My experience with it working better away from my home leads me to believe it is a network problem, but after reading that people have had 3 different replacement phones, 4 different SIM cards, etc. I'm beginning to think that this phone has a serious problem.
Yes, although I said it once already, THIS IS DRIVING ME NUTS!
Any suggestions?
Thanks!
I have found this happens on all makes and models, etc. I sell cell phones for a living (worked for a couple carriers, both GSM and CDMA). There are many causes, making a cell phone call is a super complicated operation. Most likely, your home tower is experiencing on a regular basis very high traffic loads or has some other issue. Luckily, for you, it is in all likely hood simply an outbound issue and will not and does not affect incoming calls, etc. Sadly, you just need to sort of live with it and accept that (no matter the carrier, btw) there are going to be issues like this.

I know that a call will failr every once in a while, but I have 1/3 to 1/2 of my calls failing, and it never used to happen. I have thought that maybe this area has high traffic. Although you would think the network would be good here, since there is a T-Mobile store within a mile of my house.
And I never had a problem in 6 years, until the last month or so. And my wife's phone never drops calls here.
I will continue to try and figure this out.
Any suggestions would be appreciated. I am trying to think of any changes that I have made to my phone recently, anything.
Thanks.

I'm new here and I came here after replacing my phone 3 times for the same thing + not being able to receive calls.
Sometimes the wife would call me and the phone won't register the call and I’ll receive the VM and hour later!
Lord knows the grief I get when I don’t answer!!!
I’ve replaced SIM 4 times; TM has done “trouble ticket” to check the towers! (Notice the s in tower)
It seems it’s just this phone, I’ve used her Garminfone and worked fine.
Used her old G1 and also worked fine!!!
I’ve since rooted and used a ROM to see if that helps!
One thing for sure, these “cooked up” ROM’s that are available here are 10 times better then the crap that most manufactures puts out!
I will never buy a Samsung phone again!!!
Hi!
I just rooted my SGS3 today and I noticed that some friends of mine had some problems hearing me during the call. I made some other phone calls and my friends confirmed the problem.I did the phone calls under a good network coverage. I'm new to android and I wanted to ask if someone else had the same problem or if there is a solution for it.
Thanks,
No not at all i highly doubt rooting your phone assuming everything was done correctly could have any impact in call quality, mine is fine.
I noticed my call quality is crap today. Not sure when it started, but it's bad. I'm testing by leaving myself voicemails on my work number. I'm starting from a seated position and the call was clear enough, but as soon as I start walking around it gets very badly garbled to where you can't make out what was said. I put the sim back in the galaxy nexus and quality was fine, so I don't think it's the network, also I have full bars.
Is it possible something could be causing interference to the S3 and not the Gnex?
Yes I am rooted, and yes I'm pretty sure that has nothing to do with it.
Was data on at the time? If so, disable and test.
Try another modem or firmware with different modem.

Hey guys, this did not happen at first, but today I have been experiencing some big issues with my phone.
I have been using the UVLK1 ICS based radio since I am an AT&T Galaxy Note user on the T-Mobile Network.
People have been calling me and my phone isn't ringing. I am getting Google Voice e-mails for voicemails they leave me but the phone never rang. I am at work where I always have gotten great service at all times. I rebooted the phone and it is still doing the same thing.
Any ideas?
Now I can't even make calls...the phone disconnects the call right after I tap the make call button...
Now I flashed the Blaze 4G radio, doing the same thing. Can't receive calls and immediately disconnecting when trying to place calls.
Data isn't working either..
Pulled the SIM card, put back in, problem solved. Weird!
It is doing it again! This morning it happened and I had to pull battery and SIM, reboot, it worked but shortly after stopped working...
issues with TMobile radios on galaxy note
I have experienced similar problems as well, but not to the extent to where my phone doesn't work at all. Since TMobile sells the Note now, I'm sure someone will port the full ROM or at least the radio.

i'm using the SGH-I727 with various T-Mobile radios and having the same issue, kinda. It will work for about 3-5 hours then stop. The signal meter still works, 2-3 bars in my area, even flucuates. However it will say (Searching) and nothing comes in or goes out. It does not work again until rebooted. Then the process repeats.
Any other t-mobile subscribers with you? The crazy weather might be a cause.
Can you put your sim in your back up phone?
Have an att galaxy note. Unlocked and running tmobile. Ics. Blaze tmobile.
Problem is that when i call ppl they say tgey cant hear me at all. It was working fine teill yesterday. This started this morning. Anyone else have this problem ? Im new to this phone . Is it a known issue ? Its really frustrating. Thinking of selling the phone.
Please help out guys
Same here
My wife and I just bought two new Notes on US AT&T - same issue - you can hear the person on the other end of the line, but they can't hear us. AT&T says it is a known issue, just pull the battery as the device gets stuck in headset mode (whether the green light is on or not), and this will reset it, but only temporarily.
We're also having issues with Bluetooth connectivity and Wi-Fi signal strength.
ive got an s3 which constantly drops out.
im currently using the Telstra network in Australia which is a pretty good network.
my old phone was a htc sensation xe and i never had any issues with it on the same network.
Since a purchased this phone i constantly get call drop outs at random times even though i have full reception.
I have the latest firmware and im still getting the same issue.
My wife also has an s3 and having the same issue.
Im wondering if anyone may have a solution for this as i really like this phone but its really annoying not being able to use it.
