1.1.3 and dropped calls: Less mW (milliwatts)?

I've continued to wonder about what could be causing my dropped calls in the same spots along I-84, and a "No Service" showing up at my house when before I had 3 bars.
The number one gripe anyone has ever had about the iPhone since day 1 is it's battery performance.
If Apple decided to reduce the overall mW transmit strength in favor of reduced battery consumption, this would entirely explain why calls continue to show on the display as still being connected because the phone is still getting a good RX signal from the tower, while the TX drops out trying to unsuccessfully re-establish the connection.
The person on the other end of the call will often say they lost me at a certain point in a conversation about 1 minute after the call drops. Which of course means I have to repeat everything I said for a minute's worth of a dropped call. Hello annoying!
Are there any benchtesters out there with the right kind of equipment to compare 1.1.2 mW transmit strength vs. 1.1.3 mW transmit strength with an established call to the same number from the same location?

Ok I am sitting in the basement with 2 friends watching football. They both have
4 bars and I have 1or none. All 3 phones are 3Gs phones about a week old or less.
I showed them redlaser and they both tried to get it from the app store but couldn't.
The message was they needed to update their software. They had not synced their phones
yet and I had! So did 3.1.2 make my reception worse. 3.1 sure screwed up my old phone.
The Apple ads making fun of Microsoft aren't as funny as they once were.....seems Apple
has it's own problems to me.

Is anybody having drop-out and dropped call issues?

hi
i'm on my second 8gig iphone and am still having (after 2days) horrible drop-outs on almost every call and dropped calls. the signal is showing full strenght-4bars while this is happening. any ideas? my previous cell (blackberry on att) had perfect reception at all times at same location. drove through the neighborhood this afternoon and same thing. i areas where i used to get perfect reception i now get drop-outs.
thx,
mk

you are correct - hence my previous post that my att reception on my previous phone - a blackberry in exact same locations - was perfect. on the other hand i think this must be an isolated incident of bad luck receiving 2 phones in a row that have bad reception. i met at least 10 people at the apple store on friday night that live in my area (within 1/2 mile) and nobody has complained (so far) about reception issues and dropped calls.

4.3.2 iPhone upgrade and dropped calls.

Since upgrading to the 4.3.2 OS three days ago, I've been experiencing numerous dropped calls on the order of one every minute. Calls linger in limbo before connecting and then drop. Antena signal reads 3 bars. I'm missing calls too. I live in the same area and have NEVER had a problem with dropped calls until this update and it is really causing problems. Why? Is the phone failing? Is this an update problem? Is this a network problem? Is anyone else experiencing this?

I am experiencing the same issue here in Germany, Network is T-Mobile.
Since upgrade to 4.3.2 I have dropped calls regularly with my iPhone4!!
This is getting more and more annoying.
What happens is: I am starting a call or am receiving a call. The call stays up for 1-5 minutes. During that time (randomly differs from 30 seconds to 5 minutes) all of a sudden the person on the other side does not hear me anymore! I am still able to hear him/her! After around 5-10 seconds after that happening, the connection is lost/cancelled. This is happening independently of the amount of bars, meaning it does not matter whether I am having 5, 3 or just one bar.
Please Apple solve this!! I cannot use my phone anymore the way it is supposed to work! Never had this issue before the upgrade in the same places - in fact, before the upgrade, I did not experience ANY dropped call whatsoever!!
BTW: I tried reboot, reset of all settings, backup, etc. - no positive effect.

When is apple going to fix the "no service" and dropping calls on iPhone 4s?

My iPhone 4s keeps losing signal dropping calls and displaying no service when is apple goin to fix these issues what ever about a weak battery I think these other issues are far more important

Since you said MY IPHONE the answer is that Apple is never going to fix it unless you call them or take it to a store for diagnosis. MY IPHONE has none of these problems. And it doesn't have a battery problem either.

IOS 5 problems - Voicemail/Missed and dropped calls

I'm using the Iphone 4 and recently updated to the IOS 5. I have not had any issues with the iphone prior to the update. Now I experience calls going directly to voicemail without ringing. I have numerous dropped calls. When I try to get the voicemail it dials the voicemail as opposed to the voicemail playlist that normally comes up (I eventually get access to the playlist after up to 20 minutes after a call is received). Any help, answers?

I'm having the same issue but I have the 4s and I'm on Verizon. Sometimes the VM won't even come in until I shut the phone off and power on again.
If you find out what it is let me know! I'll post this question again, too.

When do you know you have a problem with your phone and dropped calls?

My iphone 4 hasn't really been a problem but I've noticed and all the people who call me notice that my phone is dropping a lot of calls. It's almost dropping every other call, and that is awful should I go back to the store and take it back? I don't want to waste anyone's time or should I be angry. I try not to get ****** over a phone but my 3GS never did this.

You have 30 days to decide. Albuquerque has good to moderate 3G coverage. It is possible that ATT has again been overloaded with a mass of new phones and may need to make adjustments to their service. I am lucky to live in S Florida where coverage is great. However, if your coverage was marginal to begin with you may have trouble. I would let it sort itself out by July 24 the 30 day mark for most and decide than. The only thing to be mad about is not being able to have the phone you want at this time. In spite of what appears to be a large vocal group on this forum, who are really have problems, most of the 1.7 million phones are not. Again see what plays out in your 30day trial and make your decision accordingly.

Verizon wireless sucks no reception and dropped Calle hell I can't even send texrs. I'm going back to T mobile and they can have their note 3 or I will crush it.

Reception sucks 98391 and they said they would look in to it. I'm not paying for something that doesn't work.

I can't send texrs either, maybe my phone is defective? However, my texts go through swimmingly!
I actually have crappy reception INSIDE my home due to the new green materials being used. All phones drop connection in my home. Walk outside and you get 4 bars. I wish I didn't have to buy the in home calling extender, my roommate got his for free from t-mobile. Also Verizon removed the VOIP calling from may SGS5 which would have saved me a lot of hassle.

Not showing missed calls and dropping calls

I have had a Thunderbolt for several months now and I have had a problem with missed calls not showing up and voice mail showing up with missed calls, I have talked to tech and reported this and I received a refurbished phone and still have the same problem any know issues with this?

Hi bbarront,
I apologize for the delayed response and its unfortunate you are still missing calls with the replacement device. Can you please advise if you have taken advantage of the newest Software Update? Additionally, are you advising that you don't receive a notification of a missed call and the only way you realize it is when you check your voicemail? I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Thank you for your involvement in our community forums,

2.1 update and still dropping calls

Just loaded the 2.1 again. Had a full signal for about 3 minutes and then went back to no signal and dropped call. As soon as i finished the call the phone flutated back to full signal. I can leave the phone in the same place and watch the signal bar go up and down like a yo yo.
Back to the drawing board for Apple i feel. Think its time to return the phone not fit for purpose and get the nokia back out of the cupboard.

The first thing I would suggest trying is to delete and re-pair the iPhone with your CRV system. (Unless of course, "...restored the system..." means you already did this?) After that, assuming the problem is not cleared, I would perform a test and take a look at the iPhone screen during an incoming call. I'm curious if the display has the CRV selected as source audio.

Since upgrading OS last week, my phone is dropping calls constantly and connections are awful! Any correlation? How can I fix it??

After upgrading to the latest OS a few days ago, both my husband and I are experiencing bad connections and dropped calls after a few seconds. Not sure if the problem is related to the upgrade or not but ready to toss my phone and go Droid if I can't get this fixed

Note 4 dropped calls and reception issues

I am becoming increasingly frustrated with my note 4 to the point of looking at switching to a different phone and even provider. Since getting this phone I have had nothing but issues with inconsistent and unreliable phone coverage. The phone will be in 4G coverage with full bars of service and still cut in and out and drop calls. I cannot even begin to mark the locations for you because it does it everywhere. When I took the phone back to the store I was told it was not an issue with the phone that I must have been un areas with poor coverage. I find this hard to believe when I had no problems with my previous phone. My previous phone was a Samsung Galaxy s4. The only reason I got rid of it was because the charging port stopped working.

The phone is under a year old and still under warranty. Contact both Samsung and AT&T warranty department and figure out the best way to get a replacement phone. Im hoping Samsung will send you a new phone, ATT sends a refurbished, like new device.

Dropped Calls in close proximity to tower

Hi.
I posted this as a response to a similar post, but I'm not sure who may see it, so I'm reposting here. Sorry for the duplication.
I have been having dropped calls in my home chronically since moving to my new house four years ago. Zip code 37917. Close to downtown Knoxville, TN. Here's a brief summary of what's happened so far. The reason for this post is I recently came across an ad for repeaters and outdoor and indoor antennas linked to the repeater, and I'm wondering if they really work - especially when they cost $500 plus.
Brief history of my actions and suggestions from Verizon techs.
1. Initially bought and installed Samsung Range Extender in Aug 2008. Been using it ever since. Yes, I do have it set up correctly and have rebooted it multiple times over the years.
2. Changed phones frequently - even paid full price for a couple of phones. Here's a list of the phones that I have tried - may not be a comprehensive list - but even friends of mine on Verizon have issues connecting and dropping calls in and around my neighorhood and in my home.
Blackberry Pearl and Blackberry Curve
Storm
HTC Incredible
Motorola Razr Maxx
(There's probably others I can't remember)
3. Contacted Tech Support so many times that I have been offered (before I purchased the Razr Maxx this past spring) that since I am in a "known trouble area" that I can opt out of my contract with no penalty.
4. I also have been told to contact Verizon Corporate in Atlanta to see if they can "specifically let me know when these issues are going to be addressed in my area".
I even have a Tier III+ trouble ticket and received from Corporate their generic response of "you can sign up at the link below for the newest products and services".
5. I am, as the crow flies, less than two miles from the nearest Verizon cell tower. I have been told that I am "too close" to the tower to receive consistent service. Been told that the signal spreads out and I am actually underneath the signal.
I have seriously considered leaving Verizon for another service (AT&T), but I have so much money invested in my phones, extender, accessories, etc., that I'm not sure it's worth switching, especially since I travel to rural areas and do get better service in those areas with Verizon than other carriers.
So back to my reason for posting this rant. Do outside antennas that link to an inside antenna and then to a repeater work? And would it work in conjuction with my Samsung Range Extender?
(I will also include a summary of the explanation I provided to corporate last spring or summer and a summary of their response).
Thanks!!
Jeff
RE: Report Service Issue (WFM90584784)
Primary Subject: Network and Coverage
Secondary Subject: Report Service Issue
Message Body: TIER III+ Problem. KNOWN TROUBLE AREA
Told by tech support that this email needs to be forwarded to CORPORATE.
Have had longstanding dropped call/service issue in our neighborhood and
have been told its a known trouble spot, even though we are very close to
Verizon cell towers.
I have talked to numerous upper tier tech support/engineers over the last
three years with nothing resolved yet about dropped calls in my area, including
my home. I do have NETWORK EXTENDER.
I have been told I can get out of my service contract with no fee. I want to
avoid that, if possible, unless I can be reimbursed for all my equipment:
Network Extender, four smartphones including Samsung Charge that I paid full
price for, MiFI 4G LTE broadband, etc. unless they would all work with a
different network.
I have been Verizon customer since mid 1990s.
What I need to know is SPECIFICALLY what is being done to fix this issue in
my area, if anything, and what TIME FRAME am I looking at to have the issue
resolved. Otherwise, I will have to switch carriers.
Everything is logged on my Tech Support Screen log. Please review that and
respond to this.
Thank you.

Thanks for replying, Brian.
A - Yes, it is a Verizon tower about 1 1/2 miles as the crow flies. I've been told there are other Verizon towers close by.
B - Housing is historic wood frame out (circ. 1890) that's been refurbished with blown foam insulation on exterior walls, dirt to highest point in the attic.
C - RF interference, I've had the problem ever since I moved here and have had different electronic devices in the home and have not explored that possibility completely. But, I do get the Extender confirmation beep, and also have added another 4 hub router, with my main router being Apple Extreme with an additional Airport Express within the last year.
D - I also drop calls sitting on my front and back porch outside. I am right next to Interstate 40, but actually below grade level of the traffic, so that's why I was wondering if I had a little more height if it would help. Interestingly, when I am on I-40 right next to my house, the signal is strong and I don't drop calls - at least that I remember.
Thanks again,
Jeff

Iphone 5s lost LTE, 4g, weak signal. dropped calls after upgrading to IOS 8.1

i recently upgraded my iphone 5s to IOS 8.1 , after the upgrade i lost LTE and 4g, connectivity and stuck to 3g, i observed that my phone's got weker signal than before, i have intermittent signal during calls, and dropped calls. i did go to my service provider but they cant figure it out too, because i'm in an area which has a very good LTE signal and i only got 3g. so i use the apple support chat and i did all the tips and software restoration, i even restore my iphone twice as a new phone but got no good result. i hope apple inc. should issue first a warning on their softaware release updates. i'm so frustrated with my IOS device which i'm so proud.

Hi Restore Back to Factory Settings over your WiFi Go to Settings iCloud check last backup. Since ios 7 when you put your iPhone or charge it Automatically backs up to iCloud After Restore just use same Apple ID Then you will get your Apps & data back. Cheers Brian

ExtJS Drag and Drop Tree Implementation

Hello!
I found this wonderful example of a drag and drop tree, with the ability to save the changes, but I'm not quite sure how to go about implementing it. Can someone point me in the right direction?
Thank you,
Tammy

Hi Tammy
My example uses drag and drop also, so the details are there.
Regarding your question on how to get started:
Really it's just a case of breaking the problem down into managable parts until you have solved all the pieces.
Start by implementing the "AJAX form using globals" at http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=200801:2011
It shows you how to pass data back to the database using AJAX with the WWV_FLOW variables, which are there for exactly that purpose.
Make sure you also understand the response Ext is expecting, use Firebug to examine the responses in both examples.
Once your comfortable with that, try loading a tree using an application process.
You can create stubbed responses initially for the application process, e.g.
htp.p(^'[{
    "text": "adapter",
    "id": "source\/adapter",
    "cls": "folder"
    "text": "dd",
    "id": "source\/dd",
    "cls": "folder"
    "text": "debug.js",
    "id": "source\/debug.js",
    "leaf": true,
    "cls": "file"
}]^');From there, add drag and drop calls, replace your stubs with production code...
I use application processes as a gateway, simply passing requests through to a database package.
It's not a small task by any means, so allow plenty of time for learning and understanding.
Regards
Mark
