3G dropping calls when i slide to answer?

my dad's 3G has been dropping his received calls when he slides to answer them. this happens about 60% of the time. any ideas on what the problem could be? any help would be appreciated. we both got our 3G's at the same time and with the same carrier. i haven't experienced anything wrong with mine.

so far all i've done is reset all settings. it's hard to test whether the problem has been rectified because it occurs 50-60% of the time. but i tested it by calling with the house phone and also from my phone and it worked fine. so i'm just trying to get some info/tips incase it's still a problem tomorrow. also the phone is less than a month old :s

Network Extender Dropping Calls when handing off to Outdoor Network

If I stand right next to my network extender, it works great. the moment I move outside a 15 ft ring, I begin to drop calls. i believe it is because my Blackberry is now getting a stronger signal from the outdoor network and I should be handing off to outdoor network. Instead of the call continuing, it drops. Also, the same thing happens when I am on a call inside my house, get into my car and drive away; I drop the call. I have called VZW Tech support and was told to power down the unit, yadda, yadda, yadda and call back if I still have the problem. Well, I still have the problem, so I am posting this in the hope someone has seen this and it saves me the hour long support call that doesn't resolve my issue...

I have the exact same problem with a Verizon/Samsung network extender that started dropping calls after about 30 seconds into a conversation. This problem started at almost the exact same time as those reported on this forum. Verizon has not once mentioned that it may be a problem on their end and we quit using the extender almost a year ago. However, with new smart phones in the household and multiple reception problems, we need to find a solution. I think Verizon owes its customers/supporters a solution since it sold the extender devices to the consumers at substantial expense. I for one, would like to either get my money back along with the time spent trying to rectify the problem, or get a solution that will allow us to carry on conversations in our home. It is ridiculous with the amount of money spent on monthly Verizon Phone bills, that we get such poor service - simply ridiculous!

My mac book pro keeps dropping calls when skyping. I skype regularly with one person and they told me that more calls get dropped with me than with anyone else.

When skyping, my mac book pro keeps dropping calls. Apparently, it's the worst with my computer according to those I skype with. Please help!

What did Skype support say when you asked them about this?

Very poor coverage - just got an iphone 5s - typically 1-2 bars. Dropped calls when I switch rooms. Right in the middle of Palo Alto/Stanford area - zip code 94305

Crazy - never had any issues with AT&T - thinking about going back..... Brand new iphone 5S. I've reset the network, disabled and enabled imessaging. Any thoughts?

Kent,
We do not want to see you go. Thank you for all the troubleshooting you have done thus far. I do not see any service alerts in your area. Do you only have issues inside your home with dropped calls? Do you also have issues with data and text? Are you connected to Wifi in your home?

Latest Pre Update -- Dropping calls when face touches screen

I am having tremendous issues of being on a call and the PRE is hanging up on calls. This only surfaced during the last release. Has anyone had this issue. This is a deal breaker. Why have a phone that hangs up????
Post relates to: Pre p100eww (Sprint)

It sounds like an issue with the proximity sensor not turning the screen off as it approaches your face. There is a test for this in the Device Info, Preferences, Interactive tests, Screen. See if that test runs fine for you. Do it a few times and see if sometimes it does not work.
I have noticed a couple times after 1.3.1 after a call when I went to hang up the screen was not on the dialer but the contact info page for the person I was talking too. Which comes up if you tap there name while on a call. This never happened before 1.3.1 . But it has not happened for awhile now either.

My 4s is dropping calls when switching towers- my 3GS did not have the same problem in the same areas?

This 4S is a major step backward for my compared to my 3GS- Less battery life, much poorer ability to switch signal types without losing the call. What are they thinking adding all these bells and whistles without making a damned battery that can get through a full day and an antenna that can handle a variable network? This stuff was solved YEARS ago by Blackberry.
I've done the location off fix for the battery- no help whatsoever. Any ideas on the tower change call drop problem?! Very frustrated that I spent $400 on this POS

...and the fact that I'm locked into this thing for 2 years is absurd when it's so flawed. What a scam.

IPhone dropping calls when around Verizon FIOS router

Hello,
I have first generation of iPhone running 2.2.1. At home I have Verizon FIOS. I have noticed that at home if I dont switch off wifi on my iPhone, I get dropped phone calls. If I am connected to wifi and I make a phone call, within a minute or two I can not hear a thing. If I switch off wifi on my iPhone and make calls then everything goes fine. This is also true when I am receiving calls. I dont have this problem when I am around routers other than the FIOS router I have at home. Has anyone experienced this and know how to fix it?

i have FIOS but i haven't experienced that problem because i have the wifi in the FIOS router turned off and have an Airport Extreme bridged to the FIOS router supplying the wifi.
if you don't have any wifi devices then maybe you can just turn off the wifi in the FIOS router.

IP Communicator drops call when VMI light comes on

Having issue with a user where an active call gets dropped when the user is left a voicemail. When the VMI light comes on the active call gets dropped.

Has any one seen this before and knows how to fix it?

Dropping Calls when using Bluetooth

My Droid Bionic pairs fine with my Bluetooth, (Jabra Cruiser 2) it even streams the music through my radio just fine. I also use the car dock for my Bionic. However when I'm on a phone call after about 2 mins, the call just drops out. Happens every single time I'm on a phone call. Very annoying! Is this a problem with the Bluetooth software or is there a setting I can change? HELP!

Hi Sandy0380,
I use a Bluetooth device all day and I can understand how frustrating this issue can be. It sound more like a compatibility issue. Did you check with Bluetooth manufacturer to ensure full compatibility with your phone? While Bluetooth is a very comprehensive technology that allows wireless connection between 2 devices, some Bluetooth profiles may not be fully compatible.

Why is the "answer" button on iphone on the right side when you "slide to answer" from left to right to answer?

I have rejected a few calls because of my habit to start on the left side not realizing an app or my home screen was open. This seems like a simple oversight I was hoping to see fixed in 7.0.

Dropped calls on micro cell cell from weak tower signal

They all drop calls when the phone gets even the least amount of signal from a tower. This happens in South Carolina,Florida,New Jersey. So the problem is nation wide. This problem was identified back in 2010. Has there been a fix yet?

The "problem" is not nationwide otherwise myself and a lot others would be experiencing the same thing.
There are lots of reason why call may be dropped and the causes are varied. The MicroCell does not need a local tower (macrocell) to connect to when in range of the MicroCell. The macrocell is only required at the time of Initial Activation and then for periodic location verification during night time network maintenance ( which is only done ocassionally).
Certain phones (specifically the Samsung Galaxy line of phones) have difficulty with the MicroCell due to OS protocols which Samsung is aware of but very slow to respond.
If you are experiencing dropped calls you will need to give us specific details of your setup, ISP, phone, etc to see if we can help. Your issue may or may not be related to what you are calling a nationwide problem.

Wow it appears to be hang-ups not drop calls....

Try this: (It actually helped with my so called drop calls)
When receiving calls and/or making calls, press the HOME button once the call is made or received to minimize the CALL PAD. You should see your call at the top of your phone in green. If you want to bring the CALL PAD back up, just touch the green area and the CALL PAD will come back up..
Minimizing the CALL PAD keeps your face from touching unwanted features and hanging up on people.
Worked for me! Hope this helps.

I have had my iphone 4s for three months and am experiencing dropped calls in the middle of calls lasting from 3-10 minutes. I have ATT service. Any suggestions?

I am experincing dropped calls when using my iphone4s for calls lasting from 3-10 minutes. Any suggestions for resoving this vexing problem?

A few things to try, in order...
Pop your SIM out, clean it and reinsert.
Reset your network settings.
Contact AT&T and make sure your account is provisioned properly.
Get a new SIM.
Restore from your backup.
Restore as new, i.e. without your backup.
If still a problem, it's likely a hardware issue. Take it to Apple for a warranty replacement.
