What bothers me the most is, the signal strength is extremely strong, yet even leaving the phone next to the window it will ring once and immediately go to VM or just go straight to VM.
That and the fancy charger no longer charges the phone, but a regular charger works just fine
That is Wild.. since this phone is acting as it is, It's making wonder if Kit Kat in your phone is throwing out a False reading in the signal, Budone have you tried swamping out to another device just to see if the calls come threw.. It's weird in how Kit Kat is affecting some of these phones..
Like on my htc the signal bar strength / cdma runs kind of like a yo yo.. up N Down it's current RSRP (dbm) is :- 94 to 98 in this apt. we live in which consist mostly of brick N mortar. I can go to one part of it and the signal stays fairly well go to another part of it and drops like a rock..
What I want is for Verizon to quit acting like they don't know what anyone's talking about regarding the issue. I went in the store and the rep acted like he had no clue. Really? Duh.
Then on here, every thread regarding this issue has VZW reps on here asking the same dumb troubleshooting questions. What zip code are you in? When does it happen? Have you removed the SIM card? They know these things do NOTHING. The non-admission that there is an issue REALLLLY makes me want to drop Verizon, and I've been a customer since approx 1993-1994.
PLEASE DO SOMETHING, or at least quit pretending to try to troubleshoot it and ADMIT there is an issue. It is tiring.
alliecat0817 was it the Dear in the headlights look.. I too have experience what you described and whats a bit odd to this is the knowing that there are some reps that are using the same phone..
When the first increbilble was the hype of the phones and every body wanted it & it sold so fast that stores could not keep in stock, I wanted one as well, and got one but after I got it I put up with the flaw that the phone had in connecting with Network that was easy fix by htc but was put off i feel by them, Any body that carried the phone had the same issue did matter were you lived, I went through 5 of them but my love for the phone kept me wondering there has to be a fix to make this phone work,
Well between me calling this Tear 3 tech and his fellow workers all carrying that same phone.. and doing several test they sent htc a Ticket to fix the phone the issue was resolved over a few months.. So all I can tell ya is hang in there as long as you can.. Hopefully Samsung will get the issue fixed..
We don't like to see you bothered by your phone, budone. Are you possibly using any type of case on your phone? Does the signal fluctuation only happen when you're indoors or at a particular area?
With the charger you mentioned, is the regular charger the one that came with your phone originally? Do you get an error when you plug the phone in? Do you happen to see the amplitude on either of the chargers?

budone, I'm having the exact same, identical symptoms you've described. I can be at my home or office, see 3-5 bars of service, go to place a voice call and watch the signal strength immediately drop to almost nothing. Then, more often than not, call drops. In my case it will then sometimes require me to shut down the radio on the phone entirely (Airplane mode) to be able to make another phone call....otherwise all I get is "Mobile Network not available" messages in the phone app.
