Issues with Calls on Android Phones

I’ve been having this frustrating issue with my Android phone where calls keep getting cut off or interrupted. It’s becoming a real hassle, and I can’t seem to figure out what’s going wrong.

Possible Causes

Here are some things I’ve considered that might be causing the problem:

  • Network Issues: Perhaps the signal strength at my location is weak. Has anyone else experienced dropped calls when moving around their house?
  • Settings: I’ve checked my network settings, but I’m not sure if everything is set up correctly. Could there be specific configurations that I am missing?
  • Software Updates: My phone hasn’t been updated in a while. Could outdated software be causing these interruptions?
  • Hardware Malfunctions: If it’s not a setting or software issue, could my phone’s hardware be at fault? I’ve had this phone for a couple of years now.

Troubleshooting Steps

I’m looking for any advice or experiences from you all. Here are a few steps I’ve thought about trying:

  1. Check for Software Updates: Go to Settings > Software Update and see if there’s anything available.
  2. Reset Network Settings: I’ve heard this can clear up lingering bugs.
  3. Try a Different Network: If I can, I’ll switch my SIM card to another phone to see if the problem persists.
  4. Contact Carrier: Is it worth reaching out to my service provider to check if there are known issues in my area?

I’d love to hear from anyone who has dealt with similar issues or has any troubleshooting tips that worked for them. How did you resolve it? Thanks for your help!

Looking forward to getting this sorted out soon.

I was having the same issue! My calls kept dropping because of poor signal strength in my area. Have you checked your coverage? Sometimes a quick reset of the network settings helps too.

Good point! I’ve noticed that during rush hours, the network seems congested, and that can cause issues. Are there specific times when your calls drop more often?

4

I’ve been with different carriers, and some are definitely better than others. My current carrier has great signal strength but sometimes drops calls when the network is busy. Have you called your carrier about it?

5

Yes, my carrier offered to refresh my account settings which helped a bit! Sometimes they can just reset things on their end. It’s worth a try!

I always joke that my phone has a mind of its own! It’s incredibly frustrating when you’re in the middle of an important call. Wouldn’t it be nice if tech just worked all the time?

Couldn’t agree more! It seems like my phone has a special talent for cutting out at the worst moments. Wonder if it’s just a quirk of Android!

In my experience, certain rooms in my house have terrible reception. I actually have to step outside to avoid dropouts. Has anyone else dealt with indoor signal issues?

Absolutely! I’ve had similar experiences. It seems like my phone chooses when it wants to work. What carrier are you using?

I recently switched carriers due to frequent call drops, and it’s been a noticeable improvement! Network congestion can really make a difference if you live in a busy area.

11

Exactly! Sometimes it’s just a numbers game with too many users. Using Wi-Fi calling has helped me a lot! Has anyone tried that?

12

I had the same issue! Check the ‘VoLTE’ settings in your network settings; this improved my call quality significantly.

Great tip! I also found that turning off Bluetooth while making calls helped reduce interruptions for me!

14

Don’t forget to check if ‘Do Not Disturb’ mode is active; sometimes it can affect incoming call notifications.

15

I never thought about that! I usually have it on during work hours.

16

It might be worth checking for any software updates for your phone. Sometimes, updates can resolve connectivity issues.

17

I’ve noticed that my carrier settings also needed an update, which helped!

I used to have this problem too! A factory reset fixed it for me, but it’s a last resort. Have you tried it?

That sounds extreme! I think I’ll try to adjust settings first to avoid the hassle.

What model do you have? Some specific models have known issues with call quality; it might not just be a settings problem.
