Hi guys,

I'm in Australia and am having enormous problems with my imate Jamin dropping calls on the Optus network. I'm working not far from the city and have 4 bars receiption, I'll be talking away and then all of a sudden the call with drop out without warning (no loss in receiption). If I look at my screen immediately there are still 4 bars, and the call is still connected, then about 2 seconds later the reception bar will show that there is 0 connection and it goes into search mode to find a network.

This happens on a regular basis, but not consistently, sometimes I can talk on the phone for 30-60 minutes without 1 dropout, then other times I'll be on the phone 20 seconds and it will happen.

Has anyone else experiences anything similar and can recommend any fixes/workarounds for this?

I've updated to the latest firmware from imate but its still happening. I had a Motorola V3 before this, and while I expereinced drop-outs, they are no where near as common as what I'm getting with the Jamin?

Not sure if this could be an issue with the Imate trying to find better networks and dropping out in the search, maybe it could be overcome by locking imate to use the one network.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Dave.
