Hi,
I've got an MDA Vario that refuses to make or receive GSM calls, yet GPRS works fine. I've swapped SIM's, Flashed the firmware, and yet if I make a call I just the error tones, and if I ring the phone I get a message saying "This phone is unable to receive calls now".
Any thoughts on what I can try to fix it?
Thanks!
Steve

I've recently bought a SIM-free SPV M3100, however I cannot make outgoing calls using my old 2G SIM. The phone accepts incoming calls with no problem, and is able to send texts as normal. But whenever I try to make an outgoing call, it comes back with the "beep beep beep" network busy and call ended status. I've done soft and hard resets to no avail.
The phone works fine as I have tried my wife's Orange 3G sim and outgoing calls can be made okay. I've also tried my 2G SIM in my wife's M5000 and that works fine making outgoing calls okay.
I've spoken with Orange and they seem to think there shouldn't be a problem and that 2G SIMs are supported. They've reflashed my SIM but still no success.
Has anybody seen anything similar?
You can try, hardreset, then just after you setup your security stuff (eg screen where it ask you for the phone's PIN), perform a soft reset. This will prevent the EXTROM stuff to be installed. Just incase some of the settings there are messing your thing. Worth a try.
Thanks for the advice - tried that, but still no luck unfortunately
The phone I have is a T-mobile MDA Compact that has been network unlocked.
The problem is that it is unable to make or receive normal calls. The symptoms vary across networks, with vodafone being the most functional. The symptoms are as follows.
----
Tesco Mobile SIM: - no service.
----
T-Mobile SIM: Connects to network and shows a signal, but no call functions work.
----
vodafone SIM (ASDA): Connects to network, shows a signal, can send and receive text messages, can make 999 calls.
Can't make or receive normal calls:
When trying to dial out the display goes from "dialing" to "call ended" and three quiet beeps can be heard, the dialed phone never rings.
If called from BT landline the caller simply hears "Error" and callers from other mobile phones hear a variety of different tones (engaged, beeps etc)
If the phone is switched off, the callers get the usual "the phone you are calling is not available" message.
------
The phone has a CheckMend certificate to show that it is not lost or stolen, and T-Mobile have confirmed that the IMEI is not barred on their network.
-----
While attempting to fix this:
I have reflashed the phone with several ROMs and updated the radio from 1.12 to 1.13, but the original problem remains unchanged.
I Have E-mailed HTC technical support with a description of the problem but as yet have had no reply.
If any one is able to shed any light on this I would be very grateful.
similar problem, but i can send or receive SMS, but when i try to call or answer after cca 10sec it cut the line and show a sign of searching for signal...
flashed new ROM, same problem, chanhge automatic to manual, same...
is it a software or hardware problem, i can try to open and clean a dust (in one service said that could be a problem) which cause a bad contact with internal antenna
hi, did you get this problem sorted? i have the same thing with my spv m700, cant believe its hardware though as all other functions ar great
thanks
Till yesterday, my elf was working fine. But suddenly, my elf has started blocking outgoing and incoming calls. Whenever I make a call, it tried to dial and then show the "Call Ended" message. There's a problem with incoming calls too. When a caller calls my number, he gets the "All lines in this route are busy" message while my elf lights up, gives a single ring and then cuts the call. The call shows up as a missed call. What is the problem?
The funny part is the GPRS/EDGE works fine without any problems. Sync with PC also works fine. While sending a message, sometimes I get a "Message cannot be sent" message. Then resending it (2-3 times) works. Incoming SMS is also working I think.
Note:
1. Call barring is NOT active.
2. No new applications have been installed for the past 3 months.
3. Have never performed a ROM update. It has the default HTC ROM which came with the phone.
4. Shows Full signal strength
Please help as this is causing a lot of problems.

hi,
Iam using HTC touch (P3450) & i use to have same problem with airtel. Then i switched my provider from Airtel to vodafone & now its working fine.
Have you tried doing a reset.
i tried everything except changing 2 another n/w....i gave it 4 service and they said tht PCB has 2 be changed...
finally got my PCB replaced and my phone is working fine now...
I purchased an MDA Vario 2 off a 3rd party seller on Amazon just before christmas, when i put my T Mobile PAYG sim in it did everything except call and text, it can still connect to internet through wifi and gprs/3g and do everything else, just no calls or texts, when I try to call it from my landline I get 'calls to this number are currently not being connected'. When i try to call out, I get 'call ended' on 0:00 time when i try to text, it just wont send. I've done a hard reset, called T Mobile to check if it's blacklisted which it isn't, tried a different T Mobile sim and attempted to flash a ROM, I don't really know if it worked or not and when I've been trying to do it recently, i connect via activesync, run the program downloaded from the T mobile website, the phone goes into the 3 colour screen with USB at the bottom and then the computer tells me it's not connected. The seller has been very cooperative, and I can see it was working when she had it because there were call times to her old numbers.
I don't seem to be able to access call barring, caller id, call forwarding or call waiting settings, it tells me the setting couldn't be read from the network, if that helps at all?
Anyone suggest where I turn next?
My ROM version is 1.22.110.3
My radio version is 1.47.30.10
I'm trying on T Mobile PAYG UK
Edit: I've just tried swapping both my sims to my old phone (moto v535) to try and make some calls and they both now give me 'call failed' (including the brand new one, i've just activated and has only been in the MDA for a few hours tryna get it to work) yet still show 3-4 bars of signal. does this make any difference to diagnosing the problem?
I've had my root SGS a few weeks ago, suddenly one day it could not ring more or receive calls.
This has worked before and after the root, but suddenly my phone just says: "conditional call forwarding active" when I try rings.
anyone know what happened? or how I can change it?
it must be said that my sim is fully functional on other phones, and when others have the SIM card into my phone gets the same error
Hope you can help

Hi mate, have you had any luck with this, I get exactly the same problem, though I can get through on calls. I also get an error message concerning MMI as well whenever entering # codes into the dialer.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Should be able to turn of in Call Settings/All Calls/Voice Calls....
