yeah I even cleared the phone and put the rom back on the phone. pretty much as soon as I either I answer or the other party answers. would the weather have anything to do with it?

First off how is your coverage in your area? Secondly has your phone ever been dropped or damaged in any way? You also have to remember that cell tower get bombarded with alot of cell users and if there are to many of them...it will drop calls to different phones...sadly thats how they keep it from getting overloaded. Your antenna could be damaged..you don't know until you get it checked out. If you have the $5 or $7 insurance on your line, take it into a repair center and have them check it out for you...if they find something either they will fix it in house or they will send out a replacement.

Good Luck

Coverage in my area is alright at times. and my phone has never been dropped or damaged. Thanks for all the info. I might just wait to see if the weather outside is making it do this.

Wind won't effect a phone call unless it is blowing the tower around. RF energy is in the form on photons and can't be effected by wind. Rain and snow yes, but not wind.

not even 20-50 mph winds?

Have you seen wind blow light before? Like I said the wind can blow the antennas around but not the signal.
