Hello everybody,
I just got my Hermes a week ago and was very excited about all the customization possibilities, problem is that at random times people call me and there is no way of me knowing! My dad and brother were trying to get a hold of me and I had no clue, although when I do a soft reset my phone works like normal-->temporarily. I think that the phone might be defective because it had this problem out of the box; before i upgraded the rom to Pro Black 3.0.1 and the radio to 1.43, thanks to Mr. Vanx' site.
Any solutions or suggestions would be greatly appreciated, also any upgrade recomendations are welcomed!
Thanks guys
What do you mean about 'no way of knowing' that they were calling?
No ring? No notification? Just a voicemail after?
How is your reception?
Yeah, there's no notification, no ring, not even a missed call, no voicemail received. I've tried with people standing next to me with full reception, they would hear my phone ring and go to voicemail and I would get nothin at all on my end.

First of all, great job on the special edition ROM. Maybe I don't get why we in general would all want to calculate sun positions or use some of the other zillion apps, but hey... it's still more stable and largely better working than the OEM crap.
However... the blinking message light you can set for SMS, at least for me, doesn't act happy any longer. It certainly will turn on but not off after you read a message. Anybody else have this problem? It also sucks (casually unrelated) that there is no audible repeat notification that a call or SMS was missed. My cheapo $20 Motorola has that feature working great!
Also, my GPRS connection is dead. Don't know where to go on that, it worked after I set everything after the ROM update... for about two hours. Since then, no dice. It'll probably be difficult to get T-Mobile to troubleshoot it considering that it's not really their ROM anymore...
Thanks for any insights!

Indeed, some bugs exist. I also notice that SMS notified flash light can NOT turn off after I read a message. I try a dozen of times, still can't find a solution. So I just disable that function.
Another odd problem, I set the sound for missed call. The funny thing is, the "missed call" tone immediately comes after the "ring tone" if I don't pick up the call. Sadly, the "missed call" tone doesn't repeat any more. How do I really know I got a missed call? :x
try this

try this one: MY|PHONE|PROFILES
it resolves some problems you listed[/url]
So NOBODY cares? No audible missed call notifications...
I have all the latest and greatest, thanks to you guys, mainly XDA-Developers and Jeff!!!
Still, no audible reminders of missed calls or unchecked SMS. Despite searching around all over, can't find any software to make up for this lacking feature.
What's up? No solution? Nobody cares/doesn't mind checking their phones for missed calls and such?

Does the phone still work I mean can you place a call?
Also where are you located?
Yea the phone works fine, it's just how all these are. I've tested four of them, they ALL do it. You miss a call, get voice mail, whatever. There is no provision to get repeated audible notifications like you can on any regular cell phone.
The best you can do is have the light continue blinking at increased intervals.
I've used 3.16, 4.00.5, 4.0016, and now 4.00.11. Same thing on all of them. Radio is now 6.24, was 6.18. Was same thing.
I don't think it's a bug, but a lacking feature.
I'm in the U.S.
Why, can you turn repeating audible notifications of a missed call on?
I agree that both 6.24 and 6.18 are lame and thats why I'm using AT&T's Radio Stack version A.20.10.
Sorry never heard of a repeating audible notification for missed calls though but you might want to take a look at the below programs:

I'm about to flash back to original and relock my phone so that I can send it back to Cingular... I don't want to because thanks to everyone on these forums I've got an awesome phone with tons of kit that does everything I need except... it usually DOES NOT RING if there is an incoming call and the device is not actually running.
I have gone through a ton of new roms and radio roms and vanilla roms and I have found that since day one my Cingular 8125 does not ring more than half the time. Anyone else have this issue? I can't seem to find anything like it in the forums and I'm worried that I won't be able to get it replaced under warranty... I guess that's why there's a contract!
Wish me luck and shoot me some advice if you can, thanks to Faria, Molski, and Anichillus for the awesome ROMs, hopefully one of you gentlemen will know what's F#@%ed with my device!?!?!
Gracias,
El Borba
Update
I just wanted to clarify that my device rings reliably when it's powered on but rarely, possibly never, rings when it's suspended off.
When I'm at work I can hear the speakers on my desk whistle and pop when there's a call incoming on the 8125 but I have to hit the power button in order to get the call! When I do hit the power I can talk on the phone but if I don't it doesn't ring or vibrate or even light up. It just remains suspended.
Thanks again for any suggestions folks,
Brandon
I thought this was only a ROM issue as I was using a ROM that seemed to have many problems with it other than this, but when I changed to another ROM, the problem still persists.
The problem is that sometimes when I get incoming calls, the phone will just vibrate and crash with no backlight on the screen and only showing the Incoming Call bubble with the caller ID in it. I'm not exactly sure what the people calling receive, I think they just get silence, no ringing tone at all.
I'm wondering if anyone else has had this issue or if it's just me.
I also have this once in a while. Mostly, when I didn't reboot my Qtek for several days. The device freezes displaying the Incoming call bubble and it keeps vibrating until I reset it. I guess the caller gets the busy signal or gets re-routed to voicemail.
Cheers,

the same here...sometimes freezes and show "incoming call" if i dont reset for few days.. i got used to that
same here. any idea for a solution?

First of all wich ROM are you using that causes crash?
I had this issue in almost all ROM´s for UNI when I had installed HTC Home
Finally I tried Tomal´s v7.6 and all problems gone
Hope this helps

Hello, My HD2 phone has weirdest issue, when someone calls me, I can still hear the ring, the sound of the ringtone, but also I can hear the caller if he or she says something, or if the caller is not talking to someone near him, I hear in the background hie environment or some day day I have heard a police car siren, or today I have heard people speaking, the caller was in a office with people talking. The funny thing is that the caller does not know that the phone is answering, otherwise he or she would say hello to me so I guess that the call is not established. I have tried the ghost writer cab with reduced sensitivity but without success. Could it be a carrier issue? I'm on Vodafone RO with HD2 ROM 1.66.405 and radio 2.08.50.08.

Very strange. I think my phone sometimes answers by itself...not sure if I press the button or something cause I keep it in the pouch all the time.
Keep us posted
I have S2U2 installed , and the issue happens even when I leave the phone on a table. Maybe it has something to do with vibrating? Somehow the Answer/Ignore slider get itself moved when vibrating?
Nobody? Everybody has a perfect phone? Please help.
Ok, so I have heard on this forum that other people have strange screen behavior, and a fellow member has same problem as me. Now I have installed the ghost fix 3.2 and I am waiting for improvements. There is still no fix for automatic answer, and someone confirmed that the talking is heard in speaker, not in earpiece.
Hey,
My fiancee has a HTC Hero and she's having some issues with it today.
She was on a call when all of a sudden the voice when all scrambled and screachy. Then the call dropped out.
After that, she hasn't been able to make or recieve calls.
When she tried to make a call the phone is silent on the dialing screen, then beeps once and returns to the phonebook.
She just recently received the OTA 2.1 update.
Thanks in advance!
If it wasn't a network outage (other handsets work at same location), tty rebooting (with battery removal), and if that doesn't help, return the phone for replacement. Some component inside might have burned out.
Thanks, she tried a reboot again and it seems ok. I did notice that she had WiFi turned on, so I have now turned it off to see if the issue occurs again.
Thanks,

I get this occasionally as well, calls drop and then not able to connect, despite having full signal. A reboot does tend to help, I too have noticed that if WiFi is on it seems to happen more often. Its a shame, I hoped this may be resolved by the 2.1 update
Bump!
I have had many calls missed as "calls are barred to this number" It is a joke! please help!
