[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Biker1:
Other callers say that I'm Fading out, I'm breaking up and then eventually that they can't hear me at all,

All the while I can hear them fine.

And my Signal strength bars are usually at 4.

Once in awhile the calls Drop.

Sometimes if I move a few inches or a foot, one way or the other, the other party says they can hear me.

But sometimes they still can't hear me.

This usually happens after I'm on the call for 2-4 minutes, But sometimes after only a few seconds.

This is happening on a majority of my calls,

There are certain areas, approx. 3, where I have no issues. And I know if I make a call from those exact areas I'm fine.

I've been on the phone with Sprint multiple times regarding this issue over the past 2 months, and there are trouble tickets out on this.

The issues began 2 months ago when I first activated my S3.

I came from a SE4GT without issue for 9 months.

I'm on my 3rd S3, and continue to have the issues.

The issues are occurring Every day, multiple times a day. The 1st replacement was within the 14 day return period.

The 2nd replacement was due to the Screen Rotation feature failing to operate. The device was checked out by the Sprint tech in store, and my S3 was replaced under TEP.

Because I have been experiencing the same Fading and Breaking up call issues on all 3 S3's, I thought the issues were with the Sprint Network build and LTE device communication. I thought either that or that the S3 has a hardware or software issue on their devices, but because others seem to not have issues, I thought it may be a Network, Upgrading the Tower issues.

But then I just found this thread:

http://www.samsunggalaxys3forum.com/forum/samsung-galaxy-s3-audio/898-poor-call-quality-3.html

I troubleshoot landlines and phone systems for a living, including LED lighting, AV and cctv systems, but this issue has me baffled, and Sprint is unclear what the issue is, and are still working on it.

Sprint has said -

- the upgrade to the Towers, is causing my issues

- the upgrades to the Towers can't be causing the issues because LTE isn't switched on yet in your area

- your S3 sounds like it has an internal antenna problem

- Do you live near water, because living near a body of water, the ocean for instance, can cause issues, although we're still not clear why the body of water causes issues (and this reasoning was given to me by Account Services)

- they're working on Towers in your area. 112 Towers have been upgraded, and they have 72 Towers left.

Etc., etc.

You see why I am also confused because I can't get a straight answer. Sprint is working on the issues and is in communication with me,

After extensive googling, I'm still unsure it it's a:

- Sprint Network issue

- S3 hardware, or software failure on some of the devices. If true, I've had 3 of them already :(

- combination of the S3 and the Sprint Network communicating with each other due to Tower upgrades, regarding Network Vision LTE.

I disabled the Noise Cancelling feature on my 2 other S3's, But the issues continued.

I just disabled the feature on my current S3, and will see if that helps this time.

I was discussing this issue in someone else's thread whose title was about not being satisfied with Sprint, but didn't want to clutter up that thread with an issue as specific as this is.

Any ideas as to what the cause of the above issues are welcomed.
