Bluetooth dropping calls

I have a droid razr hd. I have the phone paired to my car phone and also to my bluetooth headset.
I never use them at the same time.
I am finding now that my phone is dropping the bluetooth connection on both the headset and the car phone. While I am in the middle of the convesation, the bluetooth just cuts out and the audio goes back to my phone.
Since this is happening to two different bluetooth devices, I have to believe the issue is the phone. Does anyone know of a fix?

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.

Bluetooth drops calls

Why does Apple have problems with Bluetooth and other companies do not? But worse...Apple Tech Support says it's not Apple's problem. Never underestimate the power of the consumer!

Bluetooth causing dropped calls?

If I'm on my iPhone 4S near my new Macbook Pro setup on my desk (with a bluetooth keyboard and mouse) I drop 100% of my calls. Does anyone know if a wi-fi or bluetooth connection can cause a disturbance? This just started happening when the computer came into my house - I never drop calls anywhere else!

doubt it bluetooth is only 1watt or something gsm signals are many watts
as in bluetooth is a very weak signal compared to gsm

Different electrical circuits. As a test, have you turned off bluetooth and gotten dropped calls?

Droid 2 dropping calls

My Droid 2 frequently drops calls while I'm talking. Does anyone else have this problem? I don't want to go to a Bluetooth device because I just don't get enough calls to justify walking around with something in my ear.

There are a few things that could cause dropped calls. First check the Coverage Locator to verify the coverage in your area. Also, how long has this been happening? What area are you located? There could be an outage in your area. Lastly, when did you last update the preferred roaming list (PRL)?
To update the PRL:
Power on the phone within the Verizon Wireless coverage area.
Dial *228then press SEND(this call is airtime free and may take up to 2 minutes).
When prompted, press 2for the option to update the PRL.
Once completed, a confirmation message will appear to informing that the phone has been re-programmed with the new PRL.
Press Endto terminate the call.
Power cycle the phone to complete the update.

Reception & Dropped Calls with 4.0.2

I upgraded to 4.0.2 a couple of days ago and since then I have dropped 7 calls. In the entire month and a half leading up to this I dropped 2 and 1 of those was my fault (covered up the lower left corner before I knew better). I spoke with my wife and a couple of friends and every one of them has also noticed this problem. Now I want to know if everyone else has noticed this or is it just a local thing (Jenison/Grand Rapids MI area).
As a side note my batter drains a heck of a lot faster since I upgraded as well.

I have had a similar issue with respect to dropped calls. I'll be talking and then I realize that it's eerily quiet on the other end and pretty shortly thereafter the call will drop. My iPhone4 is my primary phone for work so this has been a huge problem this week. Prior to the 4.0.2 upgrade, the phone work pretty much flawlessly with very few dropped calls here in NYC. This week I feel like throwing it out the window more often than not.
I went to my local AT&T store to see if that was an issue in my area or with my specific device and he told me that my best bet was to do a reset on the phone (hold down home + top button past the shut down screen until the phone restarts) and wait for 4.0.3 software, which he claimed would be out in the next 2 weeks. He said I'd likely have to do that hard reset at least once a day to keep the dropped calls to a minimum. I did the hard reset and had a couple of calls, which were mostly conducted without issue. Once I did get cut off but it's hard to say if that was my phone or the far end party because they were talking on a Bluetooth headset while driving.
Tomorrow once work starts I'm going to try out running on EDGE to see if that solves the issue as well.
Apple has been annoyingly tight-lipped about this one because it's pretty clearly a 4.0.2 issue. Oh well. Hopefully these temporary fixes can hold me over until 4.0.3 or whatever the next update happens to be. Hopefully this isn't treated like the alarm clock bug that's existed since 1.0 (i.e., ignored).

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.

Dropped calls and no service in my house...why am I even paying a phone bill?

I've been a Verizon customer for probably around 6 or 7 years now. I've had plenty of different devices and was always happy with my phone. A few years ago, service started to get horrible in my house. I would barely get service and my phone would drop calls. I have spent hours over the past 2 years on the phone with reps. Some were very helpful, and some were very frustrating. I have put in service tickets and even changed out my phone to try to get better service. Let me also note that AT&T customers get perfect service inside of my house. I don't even want to hear the excuse that Verizon doesn't guarantee service inside of a building due to building materials. The last time I checked, I didn't rebuild my house in the past few years with new materials. I use my cell phone for business when I'm at home, so it is extremely important that it works inside my house. I put my most recent service ticket in almost 2 weeks ago and there is STILL no resolution. I also won't accept if the only resolution is me buying a network extender.. I'd rather pay an early termination fee and leave before I'd ever spend money on another Verizon device. I have had 2 reps in the past week tell me that they would call me back and I never hear anything. I also have been told that they would resolve it by a certain date, only to find out that now they are saying it's going to stay open until they can figure it out. I rely on my phone for work now more than ever since I recently starting working from home, so how can I accept the fact that I am waiting around and paying for a phone that doesn't work when I need it the most? For all of my trouble, they offered me a $20 credit on my account. I shouldn't even use the word "offered" because I was the one who mentioned that I should be reimbursed for my time. I'm so sick of wasting my time on the phone and I am truly disgusted with Verizon. As a long time customer who has spent thousands of dollars over the year paying for Verizon service, I would expect to be treated much better than this.

I am not in the same boat, Verizon works absolutely everywhere I go and I am super happy with the service. If the service started not working however, and I got no resolve, I would just cancel it and switch providers. No point in paying for service you can't use, especially where you live.

IPhone 4: Blank text messages, dropped calls, slow Internet connection

I thought I was going to be so happy with the iPhone 4 but I am very dissatisfied... Every time I am on the phone the call drops, called AT&T and they can't help and transfer me to apple, still no answer from both parties. I could not believe that they said to use DUCKTAPE.... Are they being serious??????
Also, when I send a text message, most of the time the person receiving the text says it is blank. Has anyone else experiencing this problem?

I just bought a couple of iphone 4's last week (one for my wife and one for me). After two days of using it, my wife commented that her sister (who lives in Los Angeles, we live in Seattle) was receiving "some" messages blank. Originally I thought it was related to my sister in law being on a T-mobile network or just because she was using a different phone.
However, last night, a friend mentioned exactly the same thing. Out of three text messages I've sent, two came in blank, no text.
My theory: We both text in English and Spanish, therefore we have two keyboards loaded on the iphone, so we can switch easily. I have a feeling the special characters in the spanish language is what deters people with other phones/different network to receive them properly. I will switch my keyboard back to English only and post my results.

My phone is dropping calls, doesn't ring all the time-goes directly to voice mail, do no recieve alert on when a text is recieved

1-My phone does not ring all the time upon recieving an incoming call, it goes directly to voice mail.
2- Not recieving alert tone upon recieving a text message.
3- Dropping calls also

We have the same problem widespread in our company with iPhone 4's and 5's:
- Fails to establish the call, dials but nothing happens
- Drops the call for no reason even though signal strength is good
- Recevie text alerts to notify of voicemail when the handset has not rung nor does it show missed calls
We migrated someone to a Samsung Galaxy S4 for a month and all these issues went away. Nothing to do with alert tones turned down or faulty silent switches.

Repeated dropped calls...again :-(

Lately, I've been experiencing a high number of dropped calls. I have had this happen in the past, and the agent asked me to call (I believe) *52-but seeing as though I have forgotten the * code, I didn't want to do anything else to further jeopardize my service. But service has been getting worse lately with all the dropped calls, on 2 of 2 lines I have. And , sometimes, when I get through, (separate issue lately) either I can hear the other party good and they cant hear me or vice versa and yes, I have tried restarting the phones as I was told to do when I first brought this to Verizon's' attention; but that seems to be only a quick fix. Yesterday, during a conversation with my mother, the call was lost. I looked at the screen and it said no signal, then no sim, them 5 of 5 bars, all within seconds.

I would start by visiting a VZW corporate store and getting them to change your SIM card.

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

We have had Verizon Wireless service since 2007. We have 6 lines on our account. Unfortunately in 2012 when I (903.647.0073) upgraded from the iPhone4s to the iPhone 5 I started having reception problems. I started having dropped calls in my home. I had to go outside to get reception without dropped calls. I was told that because of metal in my home I would have to purchase a Network Extender for $250. And we HAVE not metal in our home. AND our other lines all work fine. I felt this was ridiculous. We already pay $350+/month for service and I should NOT have to purchase additional equipment for a service that I already pay for. The manager of our local store at the time gave us at no cost a Samsung Network Extender. It worked beautifully until about a month ago. I went to our local Verizon store and was told that I would have to purchase an extender. THIS is RIDICULOUS. We have been loyal customers for over 7 years and have been very satisfied with our service. Unless this issue can be resolved without purchasing an extender we will be switching our service as our lines come up for renewal. I regret this as we have been very happy with our service. But we should NOT have to purchase anything extra for one line that will not get good reception. Again, we pay $350+/ month for a service that does not work properly, simply RIDICULOUS! Currently the "sys" light flashes red (slow) and the GPS light remains red. Please help this very frustrated customer.

Regardless with what carrier your with you might have the same issue, My recommendation would be to get a router that will help you with viewing live traffic and keep a tally of your usage and any device connected to your internet connection. You can go with the peplink balance 20 and be able to look at your traffic by the hour, daily, weekly, monthly or yearly. Look for trends, see what computers or devices are doing what I attached a screen shot so you can see an example of mine. You can purchase the router at 3gstore

I have been a customer with Verizon, since 1996. Recently, my husband has been added onto my account. We have both been experience drop calls. My husband contact Tech support for over 2 weeks. We were pretty upset to be paying a lot of money for a service that didn't work. Verizon advised us that would upgrade both of our phones (to see if that solved the problem). Ok...this is where Verizon has forgotten customer service rules. He order 2 phone...one for himself, one for me. 1st the wrong address on the package..Fedex couldn't deliver...2nd...missing condo number Fedex couldn't deliver again...(2nd call to Verizon)...3rd package was finally deliver with 1 phone...missing my phone. Contacted verizon rep...reorder my phone again..but sorry we cannot give the same price as quoted on 21April...even though...its our mistake...Ok...Ok..what a surprise..but we can do this...after 65 minutes...found a price that was a little bit more...fine...just order the phone....I reordered phone on 28April...on the April 29...no email..so I can Verizon for the 4times in a few days..sorry your order was delay due to our Fraud dept. OK...talked to fraud dept...ok..account is good..will release phone and ship. OK...Next day, no email with deliver confimation. Contact Verizon 5 times now...sorry..your order was cancelled...YES...cancelled again...2nd time now...but we can reorder...OK...sorry but we cannot honor that price that was quoted..really...agent messed up...again...but we can do this for you....I don't understand...your mistake...ALL the times...
Strange ...how my order gets cancelled twice by Verizon's mistake....yet you cannot honor prices that your agents quoted!!!
I didn't reorder the phone....I cannot in good faith same with a company that does not stand behind their own mistakes...and worse...they make the poor customer pay for it...
I will not be renewing my contact...its time to Cricket Wirless...which my sister-in-law loves for half the cost....

I hope that you aren't complaining about dropped calls INSIDE your condo because no amount of switching or upgrading devices will solve that.
VZW will not guarantee service inside of any structure. There are just too many factors. If the problem is inside then you might want to look at one of the following:
1.) Network Extender (may cause issues for others in a condo or apartment style setting)
2.) A Google Voice Number (Free with a Gmail email address), downloading Google Hangouts Dialer and forwarding your calls to the GVN so that you can make and receive calls over Wi-Fi.
