Every 4th or 5th call: terrible audio, bad connection

The whole time I've owned my phone, I've had a persistent issue that I've simply dealt with, but it's becoming more and more irritating.
About every 5th call or so -- incoming or outgoing, doesn't matter -- my connection is unusably bad. Crackling, static-filled audio and white noise fill the line for both people. If I hang up and one person calls the other back immediately, the problem's cleared up.
Why is this? Anyone else get this issue? I'm assuming it's an AT&T problem; I've never had this with any other cell phone.

Bump? I guess posting late at night gets me buried.

  • MACHINE_CHECK_EXCEPTION on every 4th or 5th CD I try to play

    Like the subject says, I get a blue screen that gives me a MACHINECHECKEXCEPTION (and shuts down the computer) about every 4th or 5th CD I try to play w/ itunes. According to the Microsoft site this is some kind of hardware issue and lists some possible reasons...
    • System bus errors
    • Memory errors that may include parity or Error Correction Code (ECC) problems
    • Cache errors in the processor or hardware
    • Translation Lookaside Buffers (TLB) errors in the processor
    • Other CPU-vendor specific detected hardware problems
    • Vendor-specific detected hardware problems
    Lots of help, that, heh. I did a memory check (I'm using 1G of 333mhz DDR which passed Memtest86) and upgraded my sound card drivers (Creative Labs Audigy 2). My power supply is 400w and very new so I doubt it's a power issue and the heat on my system is fine. When I try to play the CDs in question on other players on my system (Windows Media Player, Realplayer, Winamp) I have no problems at all so it's definitely itunes specific.
    I did a quick search of the forums and couldn't find any references to the same error so I was curious if this is something anyone else has seen. Any other suggestions?
    Just for the record I'm running an Athlon 64 3000+ and Windows XP Pro w/ Service Pack 2.
    Thanks for any help.

    This "original file cannot be found" thing happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, or that the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout,or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
    Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then cancel when asked to try to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions.
    Alternatively, as long as you can find a location holding the missing files, then you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes .

    You can call your wireless provider and talk to them about it.
    You can restart your iphone, reset, your iphone and restore your iphone.

  • After updating to ios7 my 4S keeps dropping calls and having a bad connection?

    I recently received a refurbished "like new" 4S from Verizon, which was working fine until I did the ios7 update.  I did a network reset and that didn't help, and then I did a hard reset and still the same problem.  Is this a phone issue? or a Verizon issue? I've heard of other Verizon customers having the same problem.  Everytime I make a phone call I have bad connection and then the call just drops.  In places, I used to have a 5 bar signal, I now have 2. What else can I do to fix this?  

    reset all settings
    settings-general-reset-reset all settings
    now reconnect to wifi
    settings- wifi- click network name- enter password - join
    if issue persists back up and restore as new via iTunes
    Peace, Clyde

  • Bad connection on Skype To Go

    I have a world package as well as a Skype to go. When I am calling a colleague in Holland (I am from Denmark) and I am using skype on my computer, I always have a good connection. When I am using the Skype To Go number for the same person in Holland - 50% of the call have a bad connection with a lot of "wind" noice on the line. Any good ideas on what could be the problem.
    Thank you in advance

  • Cisco Unity Express - No Audio on Every 4th Message

    Hi everyone! New to the site and pretty new to Cisco phone systems. I am supporting a Cisco Unity Express Ver. 3.1 system that has an odd problem and I cannot find the same problem anywhere so thought I would ask here. On every 4th call when you leave a message there is no audio. There is just dead air and the duration of silence is as long as you talked in the message. This happens with all calls internal and external. We have 12 ports and it is not port specific. For example port 602 is fine 3 out of 4 calls, but port 610 may be bad 2 out of 4 calls. The only pattern is every 4th call the message left is dead air when playing back from the phone and the email attachment. Any chance there is some magical checkbox out there that I need to check!?

    Update CUE software and check again.

  • Ics broke bluetooth to auto for calls and audio playback

    After upgrading to ICS (4.0.4) on my RAZR MAXX, I can no longer maintain a bluetooth session with my car and the audio playback is not working at all.  The connection begins and drops after less than 1 minute.   This cycle repeats.  Calls and audio worked with the same car configuration in Android 2.3.4.  After a long search on the net I learn that this is a common problem.  Has anyone heard about a patch or work around?  I tried disabling wifi - no joy.

    I have the same problem with my DROID RAZR.  I use a Plantronics Pro+ headset and regularly have hour long conference calls.   I had no connection problems prior to ICS.  When I upgraded to ICS, the Bluetooth connection started dropping.  It will drop then reconnect, then drop, then reconnect, every couple minutes.  I end up holding my phone to one ear with the Bluetooth on the other, the call rotates between them.  VERY ANNOYING.  UNACCEPTABLE.  I tried a second Bluetooth headset (also Plantronics Pro+).  it worked for about  2 days, then had the same problem. 
    From reading various postings, I believe this is a problem with ICS and the Bluetooth connection.  Nothing to do with what type of headset, automobile, etc.  It may be only those of us that had Android 2.3.4 and upgraded to ICS.

  • Can the Ipod 4th and 5th generation be used as GPS? With the app Waze and under Wifi?

    Can the Ipod 4th and 5th Generation be used as GPS? With the app Waze and under Wifi?

    Mini-education...
    GPS signals are separate from and completely unrelated to both the Internet and the cellular telephone network.  GPS signals come directly from the GPS satellites.  They provide signals that allow GPS receivers to calculate latitude and longitude information.  Navigation software then takes that latitude/longitude info and converts it to land mass, roads, bridges, highways, buildings, etc.
    Most navigation software stores the maps right in the iPad/iPod/iPhone but a disadvantage is that the maps must be periodically updated (perhaps once every two years).  The Internet is not required to use the system but it is required to update the maps.
    Some navigation software gets the maps from the Internet and requires an Internet connection to function but an advantage is that the maps are always up-to-date.
    The WiFi+3G/4G iPad and the iPhone both have a GPS receiver.  The WiFi-only iPad and the iPod do not and these devices require an accessory.

  • I am trying to decide to buy Airport extreme  4th generation used for $90 or buy a new 5TH generation for $180.  What is the difference in 4th to 5th.generation.  Thanks   John

    I am trying to decide to buy a used 4th generation Airport Extreme or a new 5th generatino for $190. What is th edifference betweeen 4th and 5th generation,  thanks    John

    "New and improved" antenna design on the 5th Generation that may or may not result in any real differences. I can't tell them apart specification or performance wise.
    $90 is not bad for the 4th Generation, but you have No Warranty.
    Apple sells re-furbished 4th Gneration models that look brand new with all accessories and New Warranty for $129. Check the online Store if you are interested.

  • Cron job every 4th Saturday

    I have a 'ditto' command that I'd like to run every 4th Saturday.
    Can anyone advise how I should set crontab?

    In short, you can't do this in one step.
    You might think you can do something like
    0 0 22-28 * 6 /path/to/ditto blah blah blah
    which most people would interpret as run at midnight on every day between the 22nd and 28th of the month that happens to be a Saturday, but cron actually interprets this as 'run every day between 22-28 and also on Saturdays' which isn't what you want.
    The easiest solution is to write a wrapper for your ditto command. Have your crontab call your script on one of the parameters (e.g. every day between the 22nd and the 28th) and the first thing your script does is check if the day is the other condition (e.g. Saturday). If it isn't, it gracefully exits.
    This wrapper script could be as simple as:
    #!/bin/sh
    DAY="`date +%u`"
    if [ "${DAY}" = "6" ] ; then
       echo "Saturday - time to backup"
       # ditto command goes here
    else
       echo "Not Saturday - do nothing""

  • Ipod Nano 4th or 5th generation won't recognize Itunes and shows loading constantly when I am on Nike plus

    My Ipod Nano all of a sudden won't show up on my Imac computer nor will it show up in Itunes.  I use it for running and I use the Nike + software, at the same time the recognition problem occurred when I click on the Nike + on my Ipod Nano it shows the circle and says "Loading".
    Also when I plug it in to the computer it says Connected do not unplug unless you eject, however there is no icon on my Imac to eject.
    Even when I reboot the Ipod Nano, the same thing happens...the Nike + just says loading and it doesn't get recognized by my Imac.
    Help what do I do????? I have tried rebooting several times, as well as using another mac and no luck. I even sent an email to Apple but so far no answer.  Any clue how to fix this?
    I think it has something to do with the Nike+ application, but don't know what to do.
    Thanks!

  • I need a calendar for my iPhone 4s which shows 'every 4th Saturday'or 'every 2nd Tuesday' which unlike the Android caledar, the Apple one doesn't have. I've looked at others on the App Store, none of which appear to have this particular ability. Any ideas

    I need a calendar for my iPhone 4s which shows 'every 4th Saturday'or 'every 2nd Tuesday', etc., which unlike the Android caledar, the Apple one doesn't have. I've looked at others on the App Store, none of which appear to have this particular ability. Any ideas?

    You can do this in iCloud calendars, actually. You just can't do it directly on the device. But, if you go to icloud.com & edit the calendar event, you can select "Custom" from the dropdown for Repeat & it will let you put in "every 4 wks on saturday" or even "every 28 days." But, again, you'd have to be using iCloud & you can only do this on the website.

  • Calling Bapi through BADI gives data statement error

    Dear Experts,
    I am trying to call BAPI through BADI ME_PROCESS_REQ_CUST --> process_item.
    I get an error stating that "The addition OCCURS no longer supported in OO objects"
    If, I remove OCCURS statement I get an error stating that "Tables with headers are no longer supported in OO context" for the following data statement.
    Appreciate, if you could provide possible solution to overcome the problem.
    Regards
    Kumar
    BAPI code is as follows.
    DATA: LV_TABIX LIKE SY-TABIX,
    LT_WMDVSX LIKE BAPIWMDVS OCCURS 0 WITH HEADER LINE,
    LT_WMDVEX LIKE BAPIWMDVE OCCURS 0 WITH HEADER LINE.
    LV_TABIX = SY-TABIX.
    CLEAR: LT_WMDVSX, LT_WMDVEX.
    REFRESH: LT_WMDVSX, LT_WMDVEX.
    Fill communication table
    LT_WMDVSX-REQ_DATE = ET_PROCUREMENT_ITEM-DELIV_DATE.
    LT_WMDVSX-REQ_QTY = ET_PROCUREMENT_ITEM-QUANTITY.
    APPEND LT_WMDVSX.

    ENDIF.
    ENDIF.

    Hi,
    Occurs is no more supported by SAP ( is an obsolete statement )
    <b>Instead of following code</b>
    DATA: LV_TABIX LIKE SY-TABIX,
    LT_WMDVSX LIKE BAPIWMDVS OCCURS 0 WITH HEADER LINE,
    LT_WMDVEX LIKE BAPIWMDVE OCCURS 0 WITH HEADER LINE.
    you can use
    data: LT_WMDVSX type standard table of BAPIWMDVS,
            LT_WMDVEX type standrad table of  BAPIWMDVE,
            LS_WMDVSX like line of LT_WMDVSX ,      "( work area )
            LS_WMDVEX like line of LT_WMDVEX.       "(work area)
    use workarea to get the data and then append the records from workarea to Internal tables
    Reward points if usefull
