I posted this a while back and never really received many responses so I am trying again....
I have a QTEK 9100 with the 2.4x ROM w/Cingular as my provider (I have tried many ROMS) and I can't seem to keep a phone conversation over 10 min. It just drops the call and the signal status icon shows an x.. like it is restarting or searching for a valid signal after the call drops. This is VERY consistent and happens no matter what my location is. If I put the SIM card in a Nokia phone I never have this issue so I know it is not the carrier. It is definately the QTEK. This is very frustrating and I was wondering if anyone has experienced this issue or if anyone has any suggestions on the cause. I have hard reset my device with so many ROM versions from the original 1.x to the latest 2.5 and everywhere in between and above including a beta 2.87 with the same result.
Also... I get many complaints that when people call me, their call goes right to voice mail when I never turn the phone off and I don't receive a missed call notification. I get a voice mail notification later if they leave one when the call never came through.
Any help or guidance is greatly appreciated.
Keith,
The only similar issue that I can recall is the one we are discussing at http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=53432&highlight=.
It's different in a number of respects though - in that you can keep calls past the 4 minute mark, and that it seems to be happening for you even with ROMS before 2.2. My thought is that you may have a defective unit - and you may want to consider returning it under warranty.
If you do a hard reset and don't install any applications at all - does it still reset after 10-15 minutes?
Cam,
Thanks for the reply. That is a very good suggestion and I will try it once I get the battery level above 50%. That is another thing... My battery drain is very severe and even with a replacement battery, I can't get one day use even without talking on the phone without recharging.
Thanks again for the response and suggestion.
BTW: If it is an application that is causing this, I must blame Microsoft for not protecting the phone portion of the device in some way.
Hi,
I have just witnessed the wierdest problem yet on ANY phone I have EVER owned.
The problem is as follows:
While someone is calling, I will suddenly start hearing the person calling me on the loud speaker of the phone WHILE its still ringing and the person on the other end HAVE NO IDEA that I can hear him !!!!!!!!
So I start hearing the ringtone AND the person on the other end both at the same time !!!!.
It happens randomly and it happens without any interferance from me.
The phone is using the Stock ERE27 with superboot and root.
I have no clue as to what could even cause this, or how its possible. If anyone has ANY idea........PLEASE let me know!.
Wow, is this consistent?
I'd say it might be a provider issue actually.. I may be wrong, but I think that unless provider sends a "connect" command that would start transfering the voice over to your phone, your N1 wouldn't be able to make you hear him/her.
Just thinking out loud. Maybe worth calling their support or going on their forums to see if other people have same problem and if it's specific to N1 or that provider.
I never had that problem with any of the phones (AT&T US)

Nope, its not consistent, it happens out of the blue and randomly. But it does happen quiet often........say around once every 2 days or so. I thought it could be provider related as well, but I have been using the same sim card for many years and I never had anything like this......chances are that this started happening from the provider around the same time i started using my N1 are quiet slim........it will have to be one hell of a coincidence.
I have 2 other friends with N1s and they are using the same telecom provider as myself, but they have no such issues :S

Hmm, well maybe it is N1 then. have you tried calling google?
I cant call Google, they wont support me since im not living in the U.S .
Although I bought it from there, but im living in Dubai. So I doubt I will be getting any support from them.

I had this problem alot with my old panasonic gd60 phone in Jamaica on the DIGICEL network. I figured it was cross talking interferance until I started hearing things I shouldn't

Old sim cards can cause problems. At least in the greater than 1-2 year range or so with tmobile and with 3g being added to the network lately. Get a new sim card in store and see how that helps... it shouldn't hurt anything.

That's actually kinda cool, I wish my phone did that.
That's bloody weird :S
well, I would rather find out why or how is this happening before I start changing sims. Because the timming of the problem is too close to ignore ! It only started happening like 2 weeks after I started using N1.
This happened to me last night for the first time. No other phone did this and i used the same sim. My sim is not old.
Finally !! Someone else ! So im not alone.......and this is looking more and more like a manufacturing problem with the N1s......and I would say this a major screw up!
I have the same problem as well, first only with 1 person but at the moment i can hear everybody before accepting. I dont have a problem with it, its good if they say something bad about you.
wow that's a weird bug! we just found a weird bug on the palm pre, where when you are on a call and someone else calls in with call waiting. if the current active call hangs up, the palm pre automatically answers the incoming call waiting call seemlessly so you dont know the difference! yet the phone still shows the original caller ID, and the call time counter still continues for the original call.
kinda a serious bug in a way, lets say you dont wanna answer that person's call, but the pre does it anyway.
It's happened to me on an old Nokia...(6 years ago) on Cingular. I think it's got something to do with the carrier and the simcard security. When it happened to me, it happened the other way. I was calling and I could hear the conversation before they picked up.
Does anyone know where I should be looking to find any clue as to whats happening in background thats causing this malfunction ? I would like to try and re-create the issue other phones.....but I will need to find out first if its software or hardware related.
Basically what im asking is........where do I look (log files and stuff like that) to give me hints ?
I'd like to see how to enable that feature!!! I wanna see what some folks say before I answer their calls!!!
This used to happen to me when I first bought the nokia 6600. When I got an incoming call, I usually press the silence button, hold the phone to my ear, and then pressed answer. But before I could press answer, I could hear the people on the other end, *****ing about me, calling to sell credit card, etc etc.. (lol)
I thought it was the phone, but few other people got the same issue.. with different phones.
it was eventually rectified by the carrier. (As I did nothing to the phone and all was back to normal)
So No one has any bright ideas to solving this mystery ? From the posts so far, it seems like a device issue more than a telecom issue......
lol. it happened to me once.
i have experienced this so many times well mostly with a very old sony phone. like the pervoius post mentioned, u change the volume while ur phone is ringing before answering the call. u put the phone on ur ears and boom.
i enjoyed it when i had that phone. always hearing ppl talking **** about you without them knowing is power: p
anyways my nexus one did it. stock not rooted not unlocked. using it in oman
I'm having about a 50% success rate with placing phone calls at the moment. I dial the other person, but before it rings on my side the call is ended. The other person gets one ring and a missed call. Has anyone had this before? Doesn't matter which rom I am using, I've had this issue for months on every rom ... seems partiually bad at the moment though.
Bump ... I promise I will only bump this once, just want to get visibility for another day. Am I the only person with this problem?
(I'll reply just to bump incase =p)
But on topic.
I've never had this problem, but I do have a problem calling.
It like kind of cuts the person I'm talking to off for like half a second than I got
to figure out what they said which is very annoying when talking to your GF >.<
Haha but yeah, I'm not sure about this but I think I had something similar
like this to happen to me once but it never continued.

I'll bet for one of the 2. I've never had any issues for myself.
1- Provider signal is dropping your calls.
2- Maybe you need to get your phone checked. Since the problem occurs on every ROM i would rule out software issues. I would go with a hardware issue and return it to be checked.
If it's unlocked try a sim from a friend with a different carrier.
Hey everyone, this is my first post and I really hope someone can help...
So the weirdest thing happened few hours ago. I was working and when I checked my phone I had 2 missed calls, both unsaved numbers. So I called the first number and this weird person kept asking me if I could talk. I kept asking who is on the line but the other person was just asking me the same thing over and over again. They spoke my language (not English) but with a thick accent so I knew they were foreign. I hung up and called the other number and it was my friend, whose number I have it memorized but it was also showing as unsaved number in my call log. She told me that she hasn`t tried calling me earlier, even though her number was showing as a missed call.
After that I spoke with my wife and the connection was bad, crackling and not very clear (this hasn't happened before). Then, I tried to write an SMS but I struggled as the letters seemed not aligned (also never happened before). The next time I removed it from my pocket, the flashlight was on. So I restarted it and checked my call log again. Those two missed call numbers? They were now gone from the call log. Also, it seems my battery drained much quicker after that, though I don't know if that's my mind playing tricks on me now.
It's been a loooooong day and I really didn't need this to happen now.
I really hope someone can help.
Tnx

Download and anti virus and do a complete scan
Also check if any application is installed on your device about which you don't know.

I installed avg and did a complete scan. The only weird thing was Tunein Radio Pro was shown as intrusive adware (weird...), which I uninstalled. Nothing else except that.
Also, I looked at my app list and didn't see anything out of the ordinary.
I should also say that I do have a person in mind who might be interested in hacking my phone, though I cannot say they have tried. I'm just saying they have the means to do that.
Obviously I will not just drop this and forget all about it, I was wondering if there is a way for my network provider to locate the number (which I don't have since it mysteriously disappeared from my call logs) and explore it further (if yes - how?) or I am better off just doing a factory reset and will that rectify the problem?
tnx

Hey.. I wish I have smoked something...
It was very weird, it felt like Twin Peaks with the weird phone call and the problems with the phone afterwards.
Now... I should also say that I'm not one of those paranoid guys wearing aluminium hats and claiming that the government is trying to poison us all... But you can imagine how freaked out I am, since the whole thing made me create an account here so I can post this question to you guys.
I am not a phone expert (far from it) but I'm not a beginner too, so I know when something weird happens.
Any constructive idea what to do next is welcome...
PS.
I just remembered, a day before that, around 11 pm, I got a call that was a wrong number. Now, I know that a wrong number is a wrong number but the guy was mumbling like he was trying to hide his real voice. I'm wondering if that was connected in some way with what happened the next day...
I repeat, I know how this sounds. ( but I assure you I'm just a normal guy and not a weird conspiracy theorist. I'm just connecting the dots now.
Human imagination has no limits
I have more than 5 phones
I received the wrong calls from unknown numbers and any abnormal events, but I never imagined that someone hacked my phone or watch me
Probably because I'm not Paris Hilton
Do not think for ****

yeah I get what you are saying, as I said a wrong number is a wrong number. But I am more worried with what happened after that. Do you have any explanation for the number being erased (not by me) from the call log and the weird things with the phone just after that happened? The problems I described that happened after the phone call had never happened before that...
I think you should just do a factory reset and calm down a bit

Haven't had a lot of luck with questions here for the last little while, but maybe someone has an idea as to why this would happen. My wife tried to call me 6 times yesterday. Not a single call came through or registered on my S7 Edge. She said all calls immediately went through to voice mail. When she got home, she stood right beside me and tried again and again, I was not notified of the call and it went right through to voice mail.
The phone had recently been rebooted. DND was not on. All sounds were on. The phone is not rooted and no apps like Greenify or anything like that running. After her last unsuccessful call to me, standing right beside me, I called her and it went through without an issue. She then tried to call me back and it worked. A minute or so later I received notification of her 2 voice mail messages from her previous calls. It's like the phone was in an extreme deep sleep. Which is pretty annoying considering I use the phone as a phone and I need calls to come through when they are made.
I took the phone into my carrier and they gave me a new sim card to try. I didn't have any issues with the previous sim card other than the issue from time to time of the first call I place being dropped and then the second call going through without issue. The signal is not fantastic in our condo, but I've never had someone tell me they have tried to call me and simply gone to vm before, so I don't know of any time of this happening previously. My wife had never had problems calling me before at all.
Anyone know what might have caused this?
No answers to this post,. Guess no one knows. Just another bizarre Samsung issue. Had it happen again today. My wife had to send me a Whatsapp message saying she couldn't call me. She said she called over and over again. No voice mail, no nothing. Never rang on my end or registered a call at all. Phone just didn't work until I called her and then she called me back and it worked. So sick of this thing working when it feels like it. Checked signal Not great, but no better than her signal and she never has any issues. She said she would call, it would just drop. No ringing, no voice mail, no nothing. Just call and then drop sound. Over and over again. Good thing this phone is only a $1000 device. Works great.
I don't have a solution for your problem, but had a similar issue when phoning my wife. It would ring on my side, but not on her side, then goes to voicemail. 2nd or 3rd time the call would go through to her to answer. Her phone wouldn't show any of the other calls. She was with a specific service provider and I moved her over to my provider. That is when the problems started as she was ported over to my provider. In the end it was on the provider's side where the problem was. They made some changes on her number profile and she could receive all calls and not random ones. Don't know the technical side of what the provider did, but they did admit they created her "call profile" incorrectly. Perhaps it's the same with you, that there is a setup on your profile that is not correct.
Thanks for the post, but I have contacted my provider. We use the same provider. Same settings. They reset everything for my phone and I reset everything on my end too. Still no solution. She does not have the same issues. Same phone. Same provider. Just sucks when you don't know if someone is trying to call you or not and if the phone actually works or not. I just want a phone that works all the time without having to worry about it. At the end of the day, that's all this is....a phone. If people can't call, well, that's an issue. I'm currently looking for work so it's even more important now than it's ever been.
Sorry to hear that you went the route of the provider and still no resolution. Maybe someone else can give light on the subject...

What do you want? I had the ****ing same issue..solved it and deleted my message..
Try to flash some stock firm with Odin.. solved the very same issue for me!!!
So why did you delete the message then?
