Calls cutting out, then back in, then out....

I have been having trouble for a few months now with calls cutting out, then going back in, then going back out...it makes for very frustrating phone calls. It doesn't happen all the time. It's totally random. It seems, though, that if it starts to cut out in one phone call, it'll keep cutting out on that call until I hang up and call back. And even then it doesn't fix it. It's not when I'm roaming (or even moving...sometimes it'll happen if I'm just sitting in one place), it's not when I'm talking to one person in particular, and it's very unpredictable. The person I'm talking to will just randomly start saying "Hello? Hello? Are you there?" and they can't hear me saying "Yes!" back at them. I can hear them the whole time, even though they can't hear me. Then, randomly, they'll be able to hear me, and it'll be okay for a bit. I talked to a Verizon rep on the phone recently about this and she recommended calling #228 (or something like that?) and updating. I did that, but it didn't do anything for this problem.
Any ideas? I like this phone overall, and don't really want to get a different one. I am not due for an upgrade until a year from now anyway.
Thank you!
Angela

Hi Angela,
Me personally, I think it is a software issue.
My wife has a Rhyme with same issue you describe. As long as she is in a strong cell area, great phone. Once she gets on the fringe, it's anybodies guess.
I say I think it is a software issue because she has had three of these phones and they all behave the same way. My Droid Razr Maxx had the same issue (and some others that were the same on the Ryhme) that cleared up completely when I got the upgrade to ICS. Where we live is a fringe area for 4g and my phone is on 3g more than 4g and now comes in clear as a bell where hers is still flakey. She also still has a Autorotate and proximity to the face issue that I had on my Razr Maxx that cleared up with ICS. The upgrade to ICS for the Rhyme was promised for almost a year ago and still hasn't happened. I think the phone and software people have determined it's not economically feasible for them to continue work on this phone since it's a 3g device. Just my opinion.

Call cut out problems

Hi, please can anyone tell me how to fix the problem of all calls being cut off after 4+ minutes or so? I've a 3GS iphone, the problem started the minute I upgraded software to 4.3.1
The phone takes a couple of minutes with the apple pic on the screen before I can use it again.
It's out of warrenty now and not due for upgrade for 2 more months! I've restored all settings, taken teh SIM out and put it back in etc and restored Newtork settings too.
help?!
Is there some way of undoing the upgrade so it works again as it's seems too much of a coincidence - other friends of mine are having uncannily similar problems since their new software was loaded too...
I don't live near an apple store either!

I´ve got the Same Proplem...
ive got it earlyer with 3.x
and now since 4.2
after 5min Calling it Restarts(the apple is shown on the display)
then after 3-5 min it is like LOCKED... no simPin Entry...
it works well when i´m calling again it will do the same.
But sometimes it restarts very early .. or i can call for ours.
And the performance and Battery life is also BAD ...
but with battery i think it will be better for the time ios 4.3.1 is installed( it dont make sens but it seemed so)
i hope someone reeds this and fix this problem

My brand new iphone 5 cuts out during calls all the time, doesn't send mt text messages and then when it does it sends them twice?! why?? is it just apple or my network provider? bearing in mind my iphone 4 did exactly the same, so its a new handset sim

Hi,
i have just updated my iphone 4 16gb to an iphone 5 16gb
The iphone 4 had horrific problems, for example: Cutting out on calls, it going silent, me not being able to hear the person i was speaking to and them being able to hear me, and then visa vera.. also the main button at the bottom started to break.. my text messages weren't sending and then when they did they would send several of the same one.. also with mixed messages in them.. some of the texts had been form ages ago and had been deleted anyway and bits of them would re appear in the middle of the text, but only show to the person recieveing the text.
I thought all of this might have been some water damage as i had nearly had it for 2 years... However on Tuesday.. ( 29th Jan) i recieved my new upgrade of the iphone 5.. i was so excited, but then today.. 2 days after recieving it, its starting to do EXACTLY the same things my old phone did... cutting me off, going quiet on the phone, not sending texts, then sending several ones... sending mixed texts. Safe to say i am fuming!!! i am with vodafone and rang them today asking why?! they said it couldnt be my handset as its a new one, couldnt be the sim because thats new too so it must be the area signal.. so she checked for me.. came back to me and said that the signal in my area is perfectly fine....?!?!?! that makes it even worse!!! so i have asked to return it....!! i was going to go with a different provider thinking that it was vodafone??but after looking on here it seems like its apple? i am very disappointed as i love everything else about the phone, but its impossible to have a phone like this! especially when i use it for work too!

My wife is having the same problems as a reciever. She works in a school as a teaching assistant and her teacher sends messages that are mixed with previous texts from ages ago.
Can anyone shed some light on this problem or is it only her and this poster?

Volume cuts out for split second and then comes back very low

I have an old Ipod Classic that I listen to on my Bose docking station. Every now and then the sound cuts out for a split second and then continues playing only it's too low to really hear so I have to turn the volume back up.
It did this twice today when I was listening to.
It was doing this every now and then a few months back and then stopped.
Has anyone had this problem and know what could be causing it to happen?

New pc just built and using SSD for C drive. Working great for a few days but minimal usage with just drivers and BIOS updates etc. Then yesterday I turn on pc to do a quick Google search and half way when typing a search question the keyboard entry quits and Firefox is not responding. I tried IE and the same thing happened so maybe its a Win 7 thing I use Win 7 64 Pro with 16GB Ram and i72600K. Also, yesterday was a big Windows update night so I don't know if that interfered in background. Today it happened again but after I waited and watched and hit CTRL/ALT/DEL the system came back and was not locked solid the the night before.

My screen cuts out half way of opening it but comes back on when i start to close and then very slowly and little bit at a time it stays on why

Could be a bad inverter cable, that's a classic symptom.

Single Beep, Display cuts out, then comes back

I've had my macbook for a little over a year. Recently the hard drive died. I replaced it, and figured I'd put new memory in it while I was at it (2GB, Samsung). For a while I ran 10.4 (I was on vacation and didn't have access to my external), and everything seemed to work fine. When I finally got back to my apartment and restored my system with Time Machine, things started off well, but then some weird things started happening. First, when I installed new updates, my computer restarted itself a couple times during the installation (after the initial restart), but then stopped, and installation was successful. I figured things had resolved themselves, but then I started getting these weird problems.
When I close my macbook, it goes into standby, but will sometimes start up randomly while still closed. Also, when I go to open it, it will sometimes load, only to cut out again, make a single loud beep, and then come back and boot up fine.
I've read that a single beep usually means a RAM issue, but I'm curious if the problem is maybe with my system, and I should reformat, since it seemed to run fine with 10.4.
Hopefully I've been detailed enough, but let me know if you need more info. Any help is greatly appreciated.

My 3GS 32gb Iphone has just started cutting out even when battery is almost charged - I have to charge it for a short time to prompt it back into action - I now have to watch apps with the charger connected no problems then?

I have just started getting a problem with my 17 month old 3GS 32gb Iphone (no heavy use) in the sense that it keeps randomly cutting out and it requires a short boost charge to get it started again even when the battery is charged between 70 to 90%.
Any suggestions?

I recently downloaded an album and two of the songs on it play until about half way through and then cut out! What is happening and how do i get them back?

I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the entries, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.
(Not entirely sure what happens after you click that link, but fingers crossed it should be relatively straightforward.)

Hello, Obeynelson.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I understand your iPhone restarts on it's own and will not power on. I would start with the troubleshooting steps that I have attached below. Try these steps and please reply back if the issue persists.
Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIsand corrosion.
Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
After at least 30 minutes, if:
The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
If the display turns on, go to step 4.
If the display remains black, go to next step.
Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, see the section labeled Issue not resolved.

All audio on iphone 4s cuts out, every 10 seconds on every apps then keeps playing.

I have tried all the apps on my phone, and every 10 seconds or so it will cut out the audio for about 1 second, then come back in while the track is still playing. like its pausing it real quick and starting it again, except that it doesnt start back where the audio cut out, it just keeps going. Does this on music player, pandora and every single app on my phone that I have tried. Nothing new was installed on the phone, I have tried cleaning out all ports, doing a hard reset, plugging in and unplugging headphones. I have tried closing all apps and reopening them, and turing on and off the phone. switching between silent mode and messing with volume doesnt help. On pandora every time it happens, the volume level bar at the bottom pops up. all other apps there is no visual sign it is happening. it never pauses and audio comes back after a split second. No new music or anything, has worked fine for almost a year now, just started today. Side note, it plays ringtones from calls just fine, but if i listen to them in the sounds section it still cuts out. iphone 4s model a1387

One thing that helped was getting a toothbrush and scrubbing the dock connector on the phone. I scrubbed the connector and used compressed air for about 1/2 hour till the connector looked much cleaner. An Apple employee told me that the pins on the phone had a little corrosion and sand. The problem hasn't gone away completely, but has been significantly reduced. I'm going to hold out until my contract expires after which time I'll switch to an iPhone5 (or newer) or Android phone.

Calls cutting out, then back in, then out....
