Is anyone else experiencing reception problems with this phone? Mine fluctuates from no signal to full bars while in my room, and not moving.

Phone never worked for me. It was a fake. Call Net10 and they should send you out a new one. You could also try turning the phone on and off. A

I didn't have that problem at all - I've always had steady good reception everywhere.

I had the same problem. Poor Wi-Fi connection or none at all. Unfortunately Matricom quality control is hit or miss. I sent mine's back and purchased a Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 and I absolutely love it!

Depending where you leave! I can tell you that I have Sprint Verizon, and AT&T and not of this carries have good signal here in the LA Area. But when I switched to T mobile all my signal coverages when away. The device itself is the besttttt!! I can tell you that I love it. Even more because with t-mobile I have the best coverage full bars always.

My office is a black hole (bomb shelter) so we automatically have zero signal. Very few times if you lay your phone a certain way you'll get one bar that shows up off and on so I can send a couple texts before the bar goes away again. With this case on there was no choice or hope of getting at least that one little bar. Lol but as far as out of my office every day use nope! Signal was just fine no issues.

Well when I got mine I wanted it to be a straight talk phone and I think I should have got it as a at&t; go phone but I didn't and it has a bunch of weird stuff that went along with it but mine won't comment to regular data usage and as for WiFi no I am pretty for sure it won't because I have WiFi at home and it won't connect... sorry I know it sucks

So...whats the question? lolAnyway, try going somewhere else and seeing if it gets a signal? Could be trees, buildings, a mountain, whatever blocking it from getting a signal. I often have trouble getting a signal at my home since there's a mountain behind my house. But if I go just 1 or 2 houses down the street I can get a signal pretty fast. Have the same issue with cell phone reception.

I have had no problems. The cell phone needs to be rather close to your base unit, and there needs to be good signal strength from your cell. If your cell is dropping the call, it needs to be moved to where the signal is the strongest. If your base unit is dropping the call, then your cell phone needs to be closer to the base.

I'm sorry you have had that problem. We had one handset stop working completely, and all of the others only work, if we stand in a particular spot in our home! I rated this set 1 star, and I am ever so sorry I wasted the money I did on it. I am currently in the market for a new set (NOT A PANASONIC!!!), and will bite the bullet on this one. Shame, as I had high hopes for it....

I have the same issues too....I think I am just going to return it...have gone round and round with customer service "online chat" and that was totally pointless....really a shame...but not worth the time spent to get it to work, finally got past the update software phase and now it can't connect to anything yet per the stats I have an "excellent" signal.

Steven : I live in Colo. but no matter what area you are in I suggest you look close at the Reviews because other people have had the same problem as me. Missing parts, would not rotate, loss of reception at times, plastic parts. would not get reception more than 35 miles in my area in flat country with no obstructions much less at 150 miles as advertised so I sent it back to amazon because the manufacture would not return my phone calls it would just give a recording that they would call back in twenty four hours which never happens. Good Luck to you. Earl

I haven't had that problem. Take it to a carrier store and ask them to try a new battery. It may just be a "bad" phone. We've always had a Gravity as far back as when they first came out. Best dumb-phone out there.

Robert, I am sorry, but I do not know the cause of the problem. Is the phone still under warranty? If it is, I would get in touch with AT&T; and make a claim. I hope that you are able to get a property working phone.

Hopefully Samsung updates this phone to all available radio bands. Would be a shame if they didn't. I'm only getting 2G. but it is surprisingly fast over EDGE.

This is another issue I just found out; the frequency range for this phone is 2100 mhz; so most carriers in America use the 1900 mhz range or below; so, this phone is not able to access 3G or 4G. I couldnt access 3G either; a friend of mine looked at it and found the frequency range. Another thing; yesterday the phone fall down from about a meter high; wasnt that high, the cristal screen totaly broke; since I live in Central America, theres no place to repair it. I owned before a Samsung Galaxy S3 and had some very hard falls and never happened to me. There went my 200 dollars. Take care of it, for the months that I had it, I mostly used it only with Wifi.

Haven't had that issue. Sounds like a defective remote or something wrong with the unit itself which may not be receiving the signal from the remote because of some internal problem. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

I do not have any trouble with my reception but it may have to do with my location. The good news is that it comes with an antenna, though not a fantastic one. I receive a strong signal from my favorite radio station which is located over 60 miles away, if that helps.

Sorry to have to tell you, but it is the one downfall of this phone. I have Consumers Cellular and mine does not work either. When you bring an unlocked phone over to a carrier there is always the possibility of loss of some functionality. It is probably that the frequencies are off. This is a common problem. My son just bought a Nexus 5 and brought if over to Consumers Cellular and it work great. It is just the chance you take. Other than this problem, I love the phone.
