Skype Randomly Dropping Calls and Terrible Microph...
Hello guys. Recently, Skype has really been acting up for me. It's probably dropped a call 30 times in the last two days, and my microphone (Blue Snowball) quality is extremely muffled and bad quality. This stuff sounds normal if you have a bad connection, but the fact is, I don't. My connection isn't good by any means, but 15 Mb/s (I did a speed test while my calls were dropping) shouldn't lead to constant call drops, and it never has until recently. I've tried multiple solutions but had absolutely no success. Please help, thanks.
P.S.- Even while the calls are dropping, there is never any warning. My connection status is still white instead of yellow or red (most of the time).
I am having the exact same problem. And it happens regardless of whether I'm using wifi or data, laptop or phone.

My Maxx HD keeps dropping calls and always has very little signal
My maxx hd keeps dropping calls and always has very little signal.
AngelMunoz2011,
I am sorry to hear about your troubles with service on your phone. We definitely want to make sure that you are always receiving the best service options. What zip in general are you having the most trouble in? How many bars of signal are you typically getting? Could you try clearing the cache on your device http://vz.to/KRifEf and also try removing/reinserting your 4g sim card. We are here to help, so please keep us updated.
Thank you,

2.2.1 update means dropped calls and wifi problems?
I've noticed some other threads about dropped calls, and 3G issues, but is anyone else getting wifi problems? Seems to not want to detect anything, restart it, and it picks up, but inveitably fails a day or so later...
I have not experienced any wi-fi connection problems, and I regularly connect to a number of different wi-fi networks.
I suggest resetting network settings on your iPhone. Go to Settings > General > Reset and select Reset Network Settings.
This will erase all saved wi-fi networks on your iPhone, which will require re-connecting to all wi-fi networks that you have access to and if any are password protected, this will require re-entering the password for a password protected network. -
Why am I dropping calls and only get 3G?
I switched to Verizon because my previous provider stopped covering my area. Now I'm having problems with Verizon dropping calls and not having internet at home. Any idea why the service has gotten worse?

Thanks for the additional details! I show you're in an extended area and may see the service fluctuate between 3G and 4G. Verizon Wireless radio frequency (RF) engineers and system performance engineers regularly evaluate network coverage and performance to identify locations that may require additional coverage. Based on their analyses and recommendations cell site construction or other improvements are then planned and budgeted accordingly.
Try removing the sim card for a minute or two. Insert and retest. This should help refresh the connection.

Okay, for a novice (iphone for dummies) what steps to take and in what order to identify specific problem and resolve issue of dropped calls and/or bad connections. I have a 3g iphone4, I think. Where is best place to find that information so I can verify.
You can call your wireless provider and talk to them about it.
You can restart your iphone, reset, your iphone and restore your iphone. -
HELP!! My iphone 6 keeps dropping calls and I have a verizon extender
Hi,
My iPhone 6 my Carrier is Verizon my iPhone 6 has been dropping calls I think it’s only when I’m home and also we have a cellphone booster aka Verizon Extender and it does connect to that also but when someone calls me it connects then drops right away and then I try right away to call them back and then the call goes though. I have tried a hard reset on my iPhone 6 I have tried just by turning on and off the airplane mode and I have tried resetting the network settings which I just did. I thought of maybe doing the part when you take your sim card out and put that back in but I have not done that yet! I don't know what to do if this keeps happing it is really annoying! Can you please help me! Thanks Also I have looked online of how to fix it but have not come up with anything yet
How do I stop my iPhone 6 from dropping calls?

Ios7 drops calls and calls random people during phone conversations
Is anyone else having this problem. My phone will mute, call random people, facetime randome people, all while I am trying to talk to the person I called.
I'm getting this too.
Random calls even when the phone is locked and in my pocket.
Got a call from someone in my recent calls list saying I had just rung them.
My phone was in my pocket and locked, looked at it and sure enough I had rung them for 23seconds.
Another one is, if the phone drops a call, the other caller calls you back and you end the call and conversation etc, the home screen shows call failure from the previous call, when you unlock the home screen, it tries to automatically dial the number of the dropped call. Whats worse, sometimes it wont allow you to end the call until it has gone through.
Whats going on at Apple?
Apple hardware used to be reliable and bug free, recently its just been bug laden, rushed out rubbish with no real thought.
The fact that IOS7 has only been out a few weeks and we are already at IOS7.03, shows just how badly Apple are testing their products before release.
What happened to the Apple slogan of - "It just works"??????? -
Skype crashes upon call and when i try to change m...
Recently (Or not, it's been like a month) I've been having issues with Skype 7.0 or any versions more recent than that. Every time I host or join a call and every time I try to change my profile picture my Skype goes "Not responding" and seconds later my PC freezes. But legit FREEZES: I can't go to start menu, I can't open windows taskmanager, I can't alt + tab, nothing. I have to hard restart my pc.
I've tried downgrading to 6.14 and that works perfectly. Until I turn off my pc and start it up again because for some weird reason, whenever I start my PC and Skype opens up it's back to 7.0 or 7.3 or 7.4, even with automatic updates turned off. I've updated all my drivers, started my PC with nothing plugged in but the power cord and it's still doing the thing.
I've been uninstalling Skype and reinstalling 6.14 every day for weeks now, I'm sick of it.
I need help. (I've included my DxDiag since I see a lot of support staff ask for it)

Perhaps information on the issue will be available in the System Information tool (msinfo32). Go to Windows Start and in the Run box type msinfo32.exe and press the OK button. This will open the System Information window. In this window click on File and select Export. Save the msinfo.txt file to your hard drive, Zip this file and attach the zipped file to your post here.

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.

Phone Dropping calls and disappointed in Verizon
Very disappointed in Verizon Wirelessly. Over the past year my phone has continuously dropped calls. It's getting worse and worse. I went from have decent service 3 years ago to only being able to talk in my bedroom and kitchen over the past year. over the past six months I had to start going outside and now that's become a problem. Even in the town I live there are now many dead spots. 90 percent of my calls drop a day. at times phone won't even ring Some calls and text don't even come through until hours later. People are thinking that I am ducking thief calls, and I'm tired of explaining the situation to them. To make matters worse I have contacting Verizon several times over the past year only to be given the run around. I've been promised help but nothing. some were supposed to call me back with a solution but nothing. I was told a tech was coming, never saw them. I was told to buy a network extender almost 300.00 dollars, but why should I have to pay for this when I'm alrwady paying you every month. I tired of giving Verizon the benefit of the doubt, but I'm close to leaving them and taking many in my community with me, cause im not the only one suffering. Verizon step it up and give me what you promised "the most reliable service in America"
oh and yes I have powered off phone, reset phone, replaced phones 3 times. I've done it all. So once and for all please HELP!!I am very disappointed at Verizon. I am very very angry right now. I called their customer service about getting a second line on my account and asked them if they had a return policy or if the device is lost or stolen would I be liable. Both customer service reps that I spoke to on the phone both said that I would be able to stop the service as long as it was within the 14 days of purchase. The only money I would not get back would be the money that I would have paid for the telephone, the activation fee and that is ALL. I was going to take the risk and do this and ofcourse we would have to purchase the insurance. But I even had the second customer service rep verify with her supervisor that if the phone was lost or stolen that we could stop the service and would not be responsible for anything more and the two year activation would be stopped. She put me on hold and verified it and came back and said that I was correct and that that was true. So I told her then I will go ahead and go to a verizon store and purchase a phone. When I got there, I was told that it was NOT true. I asked them to open the conversation from customer service and they did and he saw it, but the supervisor at the store would not let me see it.. as if it is a BIG secret. If they can't be honest about it in the beginning then imagine how they are going to screw you in the end. I finally had to walk out and I am so so so disappointed. I want to cancel my existing service, but they have everyone by the balls... and they now it. Something has got to change... Government, NOW it's time to get involved. Anyone with me... say HEY!
