is anyone else experiencing an increase in DROPPED CALLS or TRASHY CALL QUALITY since the launch of Retrospec? long-distance in particular. or is there some other, better explanation for this change that I'm unaware of? after plenty of baseless excuses that turned out to be false, my carrier claims that there's noooothing wrong on their end. but what good are they? they also can't find an app on my phone that we know exists.

it's shocking that nobody else has said anything... unless it really is just me and every single phone I touch.

Your carrier can't find the app?

[This really should be surprising news after everything else. But somehow it is.]

I've had some trouble using my phone to call relatives long distance. But my mom's seems to work fine for some reason. We have the same carrier. I thought maybe my phone was malfunctioning. It's kind of old.

of COURSE not. this isn't news, Izukuuuu. I'm not the only one who tried to get a professional to remove the app for me, only to be treated to patronizing how-tos and a reissuing of my phone's manual. they're even pretending they don't see anything when I show them to their faces.

more importantly, you're saying that using a phone that isn't yours worked? reassuring... but not entirely. I haven't been so lucky. by the way... did you check the apps on your mom's phone when you were holding it?

Why would they pretend they don't see anything? I know the app seems to have some strange privacy setting because when I tried to show it to my mom she was only able to see my original post but none of the other responses. But to not see the app at all?

...Yeah I did. She doesn't have the app.

that's the kind of thing I'm talking about. I can excuse your mom, since moms usually just don't get phone/internet things. but I hold my carrier accountable, since THAT'S THEIR JOB

if hers doesn't have Retrospec, maybe that's what's blocking calls. my aunt's had it.
