dodgy signal at home

[Anonymous]

I have a Samsung Galaxy Ace. Have had no problems with it in the past, but last 2 weeks or so have been a nightmare. Signal drops off completely on incoming calls within first minute & now also dropping off on outgoing calls as well.

Given that we have 3 o2 masts locally, this does not make sense - verified by a "guru" last week. Followed all their advice, no difference. Called into o2 shop where they replaced my sim card as it was quite aged, no difference.

Any advice most welcome before I throw phone against wall.

Download the TuGo app. You can make calls and send texts using your tariff over WiFi.

I have noticed a similiar issue with O2 at the moment, where in the past i've had full signal I now have 2 bars, or worse.

I'm hoping this is just because they are upgrading masts to support 4G.

Try your sim in another phone if possible to rule out the phone itself.

Double check your APN SETTINGS just to make sure.

Bambino, I want to be able to receive incoming calls in one go, not have a series of 5 or 6 for one call. Thanks for the tip anyway.

Are other people in your area having the same issue who are on 02 ?

If so and even if the service status is showing all as Ok you can still challenge the masts by ringing 02 Customer Services.

PhoneCharger - glad I'm not on my own.
bandofbrothers - tried that, no change.

Question, problem started about same time as we changed Broadband provider. Any chance this could have something to do with it?

Hubby also on o2. His signal status not great at home either.

Did go & stand outside earlier for incoming call. Full 5 minutes without a problem

Have you check here with your full postcode for any local problems, if nothing shows report it to O2:

Using 2G only might help.
