I can talk on the phone for an hour and still use less battery.
My previous samsung didnt do it btw, that would easily last 2 days and never lost signal except in darkest wales.

Probably was a 2g device ?? radios not half as power hungry.
Why dont you send your phone up to me and ill let you know if its faulty or not.

Thanks for the offer
Must admit im beginning to think some it may be my sim card, surely 3 exactly the same phones cant be faulty
My mate next door has the same phone on the same network, he doesnt have any trouble.

i think this is all down to the 3g network. Spoke to a guy at o2 and he basically said the network cannot handle the amount of traffic so many smart phones now end up with bad signal. Not sure about other companies but o2 are now limiting the amount you can use 3g for free surfing the internet on your phone to try and cut this issue.

some people may not have any problems but maybe they get lucky in that they dont use the phone to much so dont really notice it dropping signal.

This theory seems to make sense, whenever im in a shopping centre and even at a football match i loose 3g alot (lots of people in the same area using smart phones)

Gav...I think it's just you...

But seriously, I think the suggestion its the networks is probably correct, networks crashing all the time etc etc. They clearly can't handle the volume of traffic from smartphones. Joke considering the amount of money they rip us off for.

Foxy is on the same network as me. She has a bog standard old school phone. When mine shows loss of signal, hers is just fine.

After speaking to the wife, who works for O2, she has said basically the same. Unfortunately updating the network is not financially viable at the moment due to Telefonica putting the squeeze on O2.

My HTC is the same but I dont have to turn it off and on to get signal back. It looses signal more time that it has signal and when it picks up a signal it goes into the 'slect network' screen. I have to select manually select the network to get it back on track. But if I am not looking at the phone I do not know when its out of range.

IMHO its useless and absolute rubbish. I can have signal, receive a call and it will go straight to answerphone.

HTS are good if you have wi-fi anf want to use the net, but if you want a phone ...pfffft RUBBISH !!!

And if I turn it off, it takes FOREVER to power down, talking 15mins or so. ???? WTF

My employer has about 3000 phones running Windows mobile, and I haven't met a colleague yet that thinks his is fit for purpose, it wasn't the phone, or the network, it was the operating system. We are all switching over to Android or iPhone when our phones come up for replacement.

Col, don't expect iPhones to be your companies saviour, they are just as bad if not worse.

Seems to be, the more stuff they have or do, the worse phones they become.
