V551 hangs

Hi all,
I have noticed a peculiar problem with my V551 from Cingular. Whenever
i dial a number, if the phone is not able to connect the call (happens
when signal strength is low), it will display "calling...", now if I
want to end the call by pressing red disconnect button, it would not
stop "calling...", only way i can end this is by waiting untill phone
automatically drops the call or I power of the phone. It is very
annoying. Any suggestion/solution would be appreciated.
Thanks All
M Shah

Cingular - Motorola drops sync after 6 to 15 minutes of connection! I have
been in contact with Cingular Customer Service about all my calls dropping
after 6 to 15 minutes of connection with land lines or other cellular
users. This was duplicated with other users and verified by Cingular that
Motorola has sent out a quick fix for this problem. It may be a quick fix
but not acceptable by all.

Problem: when talking to a friend or contact and your connection is
stationary to one cellsite and exceeds 6 minutes, your connection starts to
fade away and you drop sound from oneside of the connection. If you hold
on during the "are you there?" time, you have a 50/50 chance of
reconnection.

Their Quick Fix: They informed me that all of Motorola phones (my phone is
a V551) need to be Power Recycled within 3 days or the phone would could
loose sync. What is means is that we must power-down the phone as if we are
on an airplane for 15 seconds before we can place the phone in the battery
charger. This way the phone will re-sync to Cingular network.

I'm appalled at this option no where in the Motorola Manual or Cingular
website states this to be done. I have requested to exchange my Motorola
for any other cellular manufacture. All they would do is replace my
Motorola phone and state that the problem will continue. and I must remember
to power-down the phone every 3 days or sooner.

My Siemens S46 phones (3 units) that I had for years never needed to be
power down when used on the ATT /Cingular network. Why now?

So does posting the same message 4 times in a row mean you have 4 phones
with this problem?

Check my post in cingular's group

I was told by motorola yesterday on the phone that if you do a master
reset , that is the same as pulling the battery and going through that
procedure. Let alone the fact that the guy laughed when I told him
that I head read about this power recycling in the newsgroups.

No thanks. Your post is not that important to me.
