I have the Blackberry 8820 and Nokia 6086. The Nokia worked better most of the time, but the Blackberry had some of the same problems you describe. I upped my plan to 2000 minutes and got rid of the [EMAIL PROTECTED]
The Blackberry is set for the mode where it only uses UMA when there is no cellular network. In my opinion, UMA is only reliable enough as a backup. I wish the Nokia had a mode where it preferred the cellular network. ----- Original Message ----- From: Chip Eckert To: [email protected] Sent: Thursday, July 03, 2008 4:17 AM Subject: RE: [T-Mobile-US] UMA Problem First let me qualify my response by saying that I'm using the beta 4.5 OS on my 8320 most of the time. For about the last two months I've notice the same odd behavior when connected to UMA. The phone will hand off fine between the WDS linked 802.11 access points in my house, but won't hand off the conversation properly to the T-mo tower. UMA voice quality is either crystal clear or horrendously bad. A hangup and recall usually clears up the poor voice quality. If you want to keep your UMA connection "hot" while in a certain place, go to manage connections and turn off Mobile Network. At least on my 8320 that seemed to keep the UMA connection stable. -- Chip Eckert, The Data Detective, Cincinnati, Ohio Judgment Recovery,Skiptracing, Background Checks, Asset Searches, Multimedia Productions, Forensic Audio,Video and Data Recovery services [EMAIL PROTECTED] Member:NAIS, USPSA, JJCA, FOE http://www.data-detective.com http://productions.data-detective.com _____ From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of cchatagnier Sent: Wednesday, July 02, 2008 7:03 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [T-Mobile-US] UMA Problem I have a BlackBerry 8320 and have recently been experiencing a significant amount of dropped calls. The phone goes from UMA directly to SOS, then to EDGE and back to UMA. This happens with others who visit my house and have the same phone. This happens on my phone and others that visit other wi-fi spots. So it does not appear to be my phone, my internet, or my router. I've even experienced issues when at a Starbucks on an official TMO hotspot, although not as bad. TMO says they received no reports of this, but I did find quite a few people having this same issue with no resolution. Just figured I'd check in here and see if anyone else was experiencing anything similar.
