N95 - Poor Reception!

[Atlantean]

I have noticed that I am getting more dropped calls and also missed calls as they are going straight to message minder due to the phone being out or range since I changed from my 6230i to the N95!

Is this a common problem or am I imagining it? The Vodafone network is fairly good around here.

Mine is solid on O2.

Mine is good, no complaint here with Tmobile

Yep i noticed this aswell.. I'm in kilkenny, doesnt happen too much but at times i have no signal and then about 10 seconds later it goes to full.. even though i dont move my position! or when i request my call credit details (*174#) it drops signal and then goes back full.

Are you using UMTS(3G) or GSM? 3G signal is not as readily availible as GSM

Menu -> Tools -> Settings -> Phone -> Network -> Network Mode -> GSM

(Or setting to dual mode will allowautomatic switching between the two, but can incur problems if picking up a 3G reception in a low 3G signal area)

That's it exactly!

You may have hit the nail on the head - I have it set tp dual mode!

Also, I forgot to mention..

This could be explained by the low signal 3G reception being dropped and a GSM reception being established (Often a high signal in most areas)

Ah good, let us hear how it goes

[Atlantean]

Ah good, let us hear how it goes

Well It's looking good so far - I will update here in a day or so as to how it goes

vodafone are usually good at switching between 3G and GSM during a call.

But recently vodafone and Orange have started to share their 3G networks, which may have a bearing on it.

coming from an Moto a1200 (MING) on the Rogers network, i can my reception has much improved!

nice I had just hard reset, and here in texas, it kept showing 3G even though I don't have 3G with tmobile.
