Is anyone else on 3 having problems this week? I've got an xperia x10 mini which i've had since May (previously an E63 with them). The last 2 days, i've had pretty much no signal 90% of the time.

I actually think I have a problem all of a sudden with the phone, but thought i'd just check.

Try taking the battery out and then back in.

Happens with my LG about every 3 months (on Orange).

Sadly it doesn't have a removable battery.

The problem appears to be in the house which is very odd as it has been fine up until now.

No Signal.

No surprise.

I have just moved from 3 for this same reason/problem.

I am now on 02 and its a breathe of fresh air i can now make phone calls again.

3 Have got progressively worse over the lsat 18 months. I used to get signal in my house now have to go outdoors yet live in the centre of town.

Well i'm pleased to report that since my phone has had android 2.1 put on it last night. I have full signal, so it looks like it was phone related.

It's funny how we all have varying experiences, I did the exact opposite of you, in that my iphone 3 was constantly on no signal in the house.

Glad someone else is feeling my pain. I am going to cancel my contract today because it's not worth me using the phone the signal is so bad for me now.

I haven't had any problems with 3, though I only switched a couple weeks ago so still lots of time for them to surface!.

I have an X10 mini pro. No signal issues before or after the android update. In fact, after the update to 2.1 I seem to be getting the faster "3.5g" connection at home whereas before it was only "3g".

Also I read that recently they have lost their partnership with Orange which allowed Three users to piggyback on to Orange's network. So that could be an explanation for some people.

How recent was this?. I was picking up Orange signal as recently as the beginning of the month when I was travelling in the NE.
