V551 hangs

Archived from groups: alt.cellular.motorola (More info?)

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

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

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.
