[Verizon] LG Chocolate 3 (VX8560) not so good?

Sentinel Premium join:2001-02-07 Florida	reply to Bren3113 Re: [Verizon] LG Chocolate 3 (VX8560) not so good? Well update. I went back to Verizon last month and they gave me a new phone. Same problem. Then I checked around HowardForums.com and other cell phone websites. It seems that this is a problem with this model phone. Many report having the dreaded "no ring straight to voicemail" phenomenon. Many people are hoping it will be fixed in a firmware update. I have v4 firmware. There is a v5 firmware but I don't know if it fixes the problem. I have not had the time to check it yet.

Bren3113 join:2008-12-01 Wilkes Barre, PA	reply to Sentinel I have been having the same issues with my Chocolate 3. I thought it was only me. I have missed so many calls already. My phone never rings, but I get a voicemail. I have even checked to see if these calls appear as missed calls on my online statement, but they are non existent. I went back to my LG8300 and have not missed a call since. I want to get a new phone, but they want to repace it with the Chocolate 3 again, and I don't want it. I'm getting disgusted very quickly!!

Sentinel Premium join:2001-02-07 Florida	reply to SkiDaddyTN Yeah. my kids have my 8300 so no going back for me either. No way do they want to trade back. I wonder if it is something with the phone or if it indeed does just not get as good a signal. I wonder if it just loses it sometimes and that's why it gets the voicemail beep? If so then maybe it is a bug and will/could be fixed with a software/firmware upgrade.

SkiDaddyTN @lebreastcenter.com	reply to Sentinel I upgraded to the 8560 from the 8300 as well. The reception is not as good for me either. I just attributed it to smaller size and lack of external antenna. I don't get many dropped calls, but I have had the "voicemail beep in with no call" issue happen on multiple occasions. I already sold my old 8300, so no going back... :-(

Sentinel Premium join:2001-02-07 Florida	I had a VX8300 and I just recently upgraded to a Chocolate3 (VX8560 I think its called?) and my signal level is not as good as my old VX8300. Every once in a while my phone beeps to let me know that I have a voice mail message. But my phone never rang! It just went straight to voicemail! I look at the phone and my signal level will be zero. No bars. Nada. Then bam its back and I am getting 3 bars. This always seems to happen around my house. But I gave my old VX8300 to my kids and they get great signal at the house and never drop a call. Anyone else have a Chocolate3? Getting worse reception than wit your old phone?
