I'm just wondering how many others may be experiencing random dropped calls.
It's happened quite a few times for me.
At first I was thinking with the huge screen I might be ending the call with my face but now I'm suspecting WiFi CallIng as the culprit.
I'm going to trouble shoot today and see if I can figure this out.
I took the SIM card out of my LG V20 and just placed in the S8, I did not use the one that came with it. (not sure if that is an issue)
Also, I used package disabler to disable the phone from updating like @TEKHD suggested so I'm still on 1AQC9 baseband that it shipped wth.
Cheers
I forgot to mention I don't think any calls have dropped while using the headphones or speakerphone.

I've had few strange ones. The calls don't drop. I answer it and it instantly ends the call. A few times it texted the person calling with im busy, I'll call you right back. Like I rejected it.
Try taking out you SIM card and cleaning it with a damp cloth then dry it off completely and inserted back in the phone. I had a simular issue when I had my note 7 and that worked. I've had the s8+ for a week and haven't experienced anything like that yet.

Thanks for the tip. I'm going to try that now.
Any update to the problem?
The problem was terrible on my S7 Edge, but hasn't happened on the S8+ yet. I agree that it may be a problem with the contacts on the SIM card.

Sorry for the long delay. I haven't been on here in awhile.
I can confirm that re-seating the SIM corrected the problem for me.

That's what I'm suspecting because I only have dropped calls at home. Anywhere away from home my phone is fine.

Mine are not delayed... Sent to my roommate's iPhone 4 when he was sitting next to me on the couch. I love Swype's censoring when you use speech to text. I think my message went something like:
"Why do you keep f****** keep censoring my *** d*** texts you piece of s*** keyboard!!"
That was the end of my childish exploits, but hey, he wanted to see the feature
if you got your sim card upgrade they there might be some delay for awhile. should be fine after 30min-1hr.

I tried both. Wifi and 4g. Same result. My gf is on att and had been getting them delayed. If I swap my sum Sim to sensation, the problem is gone so it has to be gsii and how it sends SMS.

any updates? Co-worker just got a GS2 and is having a delay on incoming texts, not so much with outgoing. We're both on tmo, i sent him 3 texts about 15 minutes apart took him around 3 hours for the first one and never got the other 2 before we left work, if he sends me one comes through immediately.
that's a service provider network problem, not a PHONE problem
if i sent to people on the same network, they receive it instantly
if i sent to people on a different network, they get it in a second or two

Any resolution to this issue?
For me the problem resolved itself, but I ended up getting a new SIM card from T-Mobile anyway, just to be on the safe side. It doesn't happen to me anymore.
I've had my M8 for several weeks and just started getting "Change of SIM detected. Usage from previous SIM now saved" notifications last night. Anybody having the same issue? I'll go to Verizon tech support next but I wanted to come to the experts first.
Thanks for any insight.

Sounds like your SIM card might be flaking out. Verizon should give you a free SIM card replacement if you walk into the store and show them.
Had this happen to me on a few Roms. Running gpe ROM and don't get that notification.

Yes, I talked to Verizon and they recommended I remove the SIM for 10 seconds and put it back in, I haven't seen the problem since.

I noticed that it happens when sending pictures via text. It's also happening on wifes phone. Did you take it out while powered on or off?
HTC One M8
Yes, I powered down first. Turns out my gf's M8 was having connection problems this afternoon too. I did the same for hers and things seem to be fine on both of ours. RED must be making changes or testing something.
TIP: When a SIM ejection pin isn't around, a standard staple works perfect.

Both of our phones are randomly (a couple of times a day) dropping cell connection and giving notifications that the SIM was just connected. We've already powered down and removed the cards but it's continuing. This started three days ago do I know it's a network thing but I don't know what's going on.

Yeah seems it's happening when we send picture texts and not on WiFi. There was probably something in the recent update that screwed things up.

Sent from my LG-D851 using XDA Free mobile app
It's a bug with the phone. Try using soundabout and setting it to wired headset and that works for me
Basically, it has to do with the phone looking for a load from the HU when plugging the aux cord in, so that the phone knows to keep the line out feature active, but at the same time, the HU looking for a load from the device in order to active the aux input.
It's explained I. much better detail in another thread, but that's basically it. I've found that having my phone charging before I plug in the aux cable helps a lot.
Wow...I'm going to clean up My thoughts above.
Mine starts making random cracking noises. You cant hear them while playing music though
Crackling noise is do to poor contact points or dirty
So, I'm guessing there's really no way around this. I wonder if LG even knows about it. I'm kind of tempted to take it back and get a new one, or just switch to an M8.

I had it for about a week, I had switched from Sprint and an S3, to AT&T and an M8, but due to certain things I downgraded to a G2. Then switched from AT&T and the G2, to T-Mobile and the G3, I did a lot of carrier switching in the past 5 months lol.

I purchased a used LG G3 (LG-D850) that was previously used on ATT. I brought it to T-Mobile. I can't update to Marshmallow. T-Mobile said they can't help me and that LG can. After two hours spent with LG, they've only told me that "We didn't make Android." I pushed for advice and they finally said make ATT help. ATT says once the unit is unlocked and there's a new sim card, there's nothing they can do.
I'm sure I'm not the only one with this issue. What is the easiest way to update? I don't need a anything rooted or anything. Or do I now?

There is still only 2 ways. Install an at&t sim or install a custom ROM.

I apologize for asking for such specifics but what is the easiest way to do the ATT route, because I spent about 3 hours with ATT on the phone and being sent to two of their stores yesterday and then they sent me to the LG Experience at Best Buy which consisted of one guy who knows LG phones who was not there and shows up "sometimes". This after ATT confirming he was there for me. See? I'm both ignorant and frustrated.

You need to go to Walmarts and buy a GoPhone sim, it will give you the ability to receive updates.
Sent from my Nexus 5X using XDA-Developers mobile app
So, get the AT&T Go Phone micro sim card. Put as little money on it as possible. Insert the card into the phone. Look for update. Hopefully find update and run it. Remove card forever. Am I getting this right, finally?
When I was at AT&T store #2 yesterday, they took a sim card from a demo phone and booted mine up. Couldn't find an available android update. Your process is different, yes?

No, the same. Sometimes the update takes a few hours.
Also I'm assuming you have a d850 running stock non rooted.
You also need wifi connection.

Correct about stock d850, non rooted. But now I'm confused. At the store, with an ATT sim card thrown in, Settings/General/About phone/Software Update/Update now showed no available updates. I'm still on 5.0.1.

All I can say, is that it worked for me, though I have since moved on to the Nexus 5x.
Good luck and if by chance it doesn't work (it should), you need to try rooting and flashing a stock based ROM.
Sent from my Nexus 5X using XDA-Developers mobile app
This is weird.
I got the card. I called ATT to activate it. They said, hang up, power down, insert the att sim card, power back up and get the update. As soon as I hung up, and before installing the ATT card, it started downloading the update. Eventually it started installing the update and then stopped. Error message said that it suspected my phone of being a rooted device and therefore would not update the software. Odd. Okay. So I powered down, installed the ATT card, powered back up, looked for software update. My phone is on the ATT network right now (thru my home wifi still) but says no software update is available. I'm still at 5.0.1.
Any idea what I did wrong?

Try a factory reset (you will lose your data)
Sent from my Nexus 5X using XDA-Developers mobile app
Wanted to give you an update. I did a factory reset. Didn't help but then I went deeper. I guess the previous owner had some rooting software underneath it all. Spent some time removing it, going back to absolutely stock. It took more effort but eventually I got it. I'm at Marshmallow Level. Thank you.
My screen does not record every press. Never misses a beat typing but selecting a thread from a list or a tweet from twitter feed or almost any random thing the first click may not record. I have to do it again. I wish I could increase sensitivity.
Does anyone else have this issue? Any suggestions?
Thanks!

I should have mentioned I had the VZW rep put on a Zagg but it had bubbles and was peeling so I took it off. Problem did not improve. The odd thing is it doesn't affect typing at all. I type fast and no lags nor unrecorded presses. It does happen randomly in any app or screen though. Never when clicking to open an app but clicking on a phone number in missed calls, clicking a link in the browser, clicking to open a tweet or tapatalk thread or basically anything anywhere on the screen. Not a dead spot. The second click always works. It's incredibly annoying when you kind of look for it to happen again and of course it does
MODERATOR - Would this be a legit topic for main thread or strictly a Q AND A thing? It would get more looks in a main Note 7 thread. Thanks

Are you going to keep or exchange? I'm not sure what to do. I love the phone but really hate this issue.
Some claim an update will fix it but I called VZW and Samsung tech support and both said they never heard of any problems at all with Note 7. How can I hope for a fix if they don't know there is a problem?
