Signal randomly goes to no service...

[Simba501]

A few minutes ago my signal just showed no service for the second time. It was totally random, just like the last time and I don't think it's an AT&T problem because I was stationary in my house, where I've never seen this happen on my past devices. (Happened a few times on the iphone, but it only showed searching for about a second, then it came right back). On the Captivate it will show no service and won't come back until I reboot the phone. I'm not in a fringe service area (usually have 3 bars of 3g). Has anyone seen this happen on theirs? I'm trying really hard not to return it, but some of the bugs are getting pretty annoying.

I'm going to install CT Scheduler and run a reboot every morning. If it happens again, it may be going back...

I had to return mine and decided to just keep my old slow iPhone 3G for now... I've seen a lot of discussion regarding the reception on the phone and I was afraid it was an actual hardware issue. Sucks, because I really did love the phone. I just need it to work as a phone.

Mine was worse...it goes to no service, then I thought maybe that's just what it's displaying....attempted a call and it was definitely out of service...it's only happened twice though since I've had the phone

In 16 days of regular use, I haven't had a single dropped call or 'no signal' issue with my Captivate ... apart from the bowels of my bldg at work, where no AT&T phones get any signal (east TN)

I haven't had a dropped call either. I'm hoping my scheduled reboot will take care of the problem (it's happened twice in 2 weeks).

The only dropped calls I have experienced is in the normal blackholes where my BB would drop and all cell phones drop.. Otherwise No dropped calls at all. Even the 3G to Edge Handoff works a lot better then my BB Bold 9000 would!

HTH,
