Anybody have any problem with the reception!? After a year of use, the reception singal bar tend to fluctuate a lot. It jumps from 1 to 4 and 4 to 2, etc... and so very often I drop calls and sometimes cant even dial out. Anyone have the same/similar problem?

Yes exactly the same problem after about a year of use, i put up with it for a while because my service centre is far away, then one day i tightened the little metal clips that hold the sim in(on other t68`s i have noticed these clips have been lengthened a bit,maybe a later mod), i was VERY carefull when i did this, BUT at the same time i unscrewed the front cover and brushed & blew (compressor or cycle pump) all the dust out & it has not done it since, now i clean it every couple of weeks. ...ps, button problems are also dust related sometimes. |

WOW you have fully covered version with no small gap around joystick or in between electrical contacts, so you dont have dust under your screen either, you lucky thing, i clean out many coleagues phones in my area, it`s a real problem, ..one had a pubic hair in it....maybe the Malaysian phones have gaps & the swedish ones don`t he he he |

I had the same problem with my T68m. I got it fixed, and apparently it is a circuit called N400 (or something) that controls the amplification of the radio signal that had broke.
Symptoms:
Often have to try several times before being able to make a call
Dropped calls
Cannot send SMS sometimes
People get redirected to your voice mail even though the phone is on and reception seems to be good
Reception indicator varies a lot.
After the exchange of the circuit the T68m worked just fine!

.ful at^t68.."how those dust got inside" is NOT proper english......listen mate,the dust gets in all around the inside of these phones thats a fact. My phone had those EXACT symptems & i never had it repaired & it has worked perfectly ever since i cleaned it.WHAT PART OF THIS DON`T YOU UNDERSTAND. Should`nt you be at school.
