Indeed I did. My mileage varied!   ;-)

I didn't misinterpret your remarks. As I said, I addressed the gamut. 
With phones there is rarely a single issue that causes communication 
problems. I learnt this the hard way when a friend and I were playing 
with VOIP back in the days before it was mainstream. VOIP has improved a 
lot since those heady days.

And that is exactly what my friend was having issues with - voice 
quality. The change of phone fixed - rx, tx, signal strength, etc. Which 
of those caused the voice quality degradation? Who knows?

FWIW, my Galaxy had a different issue. It would go deaf. It would 
neither call out nor receive incoming calls. The problem was that I 
didn't make a lot of outgoing calls so didn't know until someone told me 
they'd been trying to ring. That could have been going on for a week or 
more because, on average, I only made 3 or 4 calls a month. Numerous 
visits to Samsung repair centres where they would update firmware and 
otherwise pissfart around. Invariably the phone would work Ok for a 
time, then do it again. All I needed to do was reboot the phone, not 
such a big deal, but I never knew when it was going to play up. It could 
go deaf in a week, or in a few hours.

BTW, it did have voice quality issues but I put that down to the network 
at that time. It may well have been the phone. I just set it aside and 
bought an iPhone 4S and my phone issues just went away. Works for me.

Neither am I.

You'll need to see Noddy about that. He's an argumentative little prick.
Currently he can't tell the difference between a Certificate and an Exam.
