Got a 8 month old T68(m > i conversion).
In the last two months i've had a problem which has now got to the point of the phone being useless.
The signal strength keeps fluctuating between no bars and say 3-4 bars every so often.
I can't make calls, it just goes beep beep beep. no one can call me (diverts to voicemail).
I can be anywhere in the town. I can put my sim into another phone in the same location and its fine.
Is this a known problem? It's really driving me mad now 
Cheers

I had the same problem and took the phone to an SE service center. They replaced it after checking it. |

and update to the latest (R5D007) firmware will probably stabilize the signal.... |

Same problem... for long time already. It only happens once in a while so its even more frustrating. I just took my phone in yesterday. All they did is realign my antenna. I can tell it is not helping at all after one day of use. And my warrenty is going to expire in half a month!!!

Hi there!
I am in the Uk, and on T-Mobile, and I also live in North London as well. Use to have a t68m which I had updated to a T68mi, and then regularly flashed with the latest software updates as soon as they came out.
After the software conversion, and after it had been flashed a couple of times, it use to happen to me on a regular basis as well, every three or four days and would last about two hours where the phone would pretty much just become useless (signal fluctuating, beep-beep-beep when trying to make a call, etc.). Never found out what the problem was, but assumed it was something to do with the newer software.
Anyways, got a 7650 now, but will be getting a P800 in January. I hope SE have fixed the problem, cause if the P800 does it as well I'm going to be pissed. |
