You can always ride around the areas with no signal...................
Had the TFT upgraded a couple of weeks ago and still get random "emergency call failure" messages on TFT screen. Happens at least once on long trips (e.g. 100 miles ) .
Does anyone with the SOS fitted NOT have random failure MSG appear on TFT?.
I get them and have gotten into the habit of looking at my phone signal when it pops up and it's always in a dead zone. Message goes as soon as I've had signal for a little while so it's not something that bothers me too much overall.
Interesting, I wonder if yours is a different issue than mine then, or if your phone is buffering just enough to keep going when the signal drops? For the message not coming up when the radio does eventually stop, I think that the SOS system 'pings' periodically so it could just be that you lose signal and it's between communications?
Radio player apps do generally buffer content to cover signal variations.
Also do you know if the SOS function works on 3G only? If it is limited to 3G and the phone is on 4G that might account for the difference in apparent signal.
FWIW mine did this on nearly every trip until I had the software update, since then it hasn't done it once. My guess is that the software update just fixes the messages, rather than the signal issues!
