Optimus dropping calls in 2G mode

Hi Guys,

My optimus calling service is not reliable at all in 2G mode. Is it just mine or there is really a problem with 2G networks. When I switch to 3G everything seems to be ok. Sometimes it drops the connection during the calls. Sometimes I can hear the other side but they can't hear me.

Overall it is a very good phone apart from calls dropping.

No issue

Been using it for a week now. Have flagged the 2G explicitly to conserve battery. Not had any case of call drops or one way traffic.

Cheers,
Vikram.

I use only 2G and I speak a lot. No problem at all.

Thanks guys, so I assume that next step should be to leave it for repair. I'm afraid that they will return it without any changes as this behaviour is not so regular.

Also my phone sometimes drops calls. I've resolved the issue replacing SD card, from Sandisk 16gb class 2 to Transcend 8gb class 4. Now works well, hope the firmware update resolve the SD compatibility problems

Is it really possible the only reason to be in the SD card? There is no much sense on this but who knows?!

I think it's not a sd-card problem, because i have the same problem here in Hamburg/Germany and for me it's the provider 'O2'. Same thing before with my Samsung Spica and my girlfriend ('O2' too) has a X10 mini, same calldrops...

Maybe you can try the simcard with another mobilephone!?

Greetings

Yes I can confirm the drop calls with o2 germany. I was two weeks ago in Köln and had the same problem but to be honest I had similar problem with e-plus.

I use 2G mode to save battery life. I've not had any problem so far.
