Dunno what is going on here - I had this problem occasionally with E200 / C500 on Orange, but not to this extent.
Sat at my desk, I suddenly get a Voicemail notification. Strange, as the phone hasn't rung. So I decide to test it.
I get NO ringtone on the phone I'm calling from. Nothing at all. Then it cuts straight to VM. (Phone is sat with full signal, and connected to UMTS network). I phoned 5 times, all with the same result.
Then I hung up the UMTS. Same thing happened.
I did a soft reset and left it in clamshell mode, and phoned again. This time I could clearly hear the ringing on the phone I was calling from, but the device didn't ring / vibrate or anything.
I opened it up and had a message "The phone operation failed" so I hit OK on this and closed it back up again. Phoned it again and this time it rang properly. I hung up before connecting, and got the "Missed call" notification.
Its not (entirely) down to being connected to UMTS - as my phone reconnects automatically as soon as it starts up.
Anyway, having dismissed the "You have a missed call" notification, I tried again. Its back to its original state now, no ringing heard on the phone you call from, and nothing on the phone itself. I only got ONE missed call notification, despite calling it around 7 or 8 times in all.
What the hell is going on here? It almost seems like the phone itself signals to the network that it is totally unreachable (hence no ringing heard by the caller).
I assume you haven't set up diverts or anything?
Get your network provider to do a test and see if they can give you any further information.
Failing that, it's possible that if you stopped the ExtROM from fully installing, it could be causing problems? Or maybe even some sort of task manager may be 'killing' the phone services?
I hadn't set any diverts, and it was the oddly random nature that was cause for concern - it worked after the soft reset, but didn't work beforehand. I can't be doing with a phone that, for its own reasons, refuses to aknowledge an inbound call! This should take precedence over anything else the "phone" is doing at the time, surely...
I've got T Mobile to send me out a reset of my profile (a text message which I delete, then power off the device) and I'll see how it goes.
I did have SBP PocketPlus installed, but no longer... I've not got much installed at all, at the moment.
Strongly considering flashing to the iMate ROM at this moment!
After removing the battery I retested. It was fine.
After writing the last post, I retested again and its broken again.
B*llocks.
The same as you my XDA Exec, oftern misses calls, ( you ring your self and hear it reing bu the phone makes no noise) i also had the same on my XDA2i, and yes removing the battery fixes it for a while.
Also mine when it looses service ( witch is oftern ) it will not go back into service until i soft reset it

Hmm, sorry no clue.
I have a JasJar and no-one has told me off for missing their calls. (I take quite a few from work, but rarely make any myself)
Maybe try a ROM flash, but I'm sure other Exec users are not having these problems, so it sounds like it might be something other than a ROM issue?
I've just stuck the iMate Rom on it. Was probably going to do it anyway, but didn't want to break my TomTom setup...
I'll do some testing and will repost on this thread with my findings.
I'm still getting the problem with the iMate ROm installed.
When I go to the Phone settings, it thinks I'm on the UMTS T-Mobile UK network. Now I'm sure this is fine for data, but maybe its not OK for voice, or something like that?
Can anyone let me know what they have in those settings?
Spotted this too on the Jasjar - can't pin down why though as it only appeqars to have started recently

I'm becoming certain that my data connection is effectively hogging the phone and not allowing voice traffic. I just had problems sending a text message. Every time I hit send, it failed (about 6 times) and went into drafts. To get it to sent, I hung up my active data connection and tried again, and it went immediately.
This is a nightmare, as the device HAS to perform both voice and data functions. I want an always-on data device, but the data MUST be interuptable by inbound / outbound phonecalls as well as notifications (SMS etc).
Right...
I've dropped down to GSM instead of 3G by removing the "Auto" setting from the Band option within the Phone Settings. This appears to have solved the problem.
From looking at the network, it appeared my phone was always connecting to a network called "UMTS T Mobile" (this was even displayed on the occasional incoming call that worked as the carrier). I'm certain this is what is causing the problems. After a Soft Reset, it would still connect to this, as my OTA ActiveSync connection would start up...
Having changed to GSM instead, I'm now connecting to "T Mobile UK" as my carrier - and this is allowing full inbound/outbound functionality - albeit only with GPRS data connectivity.
I'm on T-Mobile UK, and MSN Messenger will happily be interrupted when I get a voice call?
I'm lucky enough to live and work in an area where I'm only ever connected to UMTS (although the setting on my phone is "Auto"). I'm 99% certain that I can get calls every time, and having tested it just now a couple of times it's working without any problems, so there must be something that'll sort out your problem?

I'm lucky enough to live and work in an area immediately covered by whatever equipment may (or may not) be located a T Mobile's head office... :roll:
I cannot discount the possibility that they've erected a UMTS cell which they "tinker with", which may (or, indeed, may not) be causing my problems...
I guess next time I'm out of the area, and in a 3G coverage area elsewhere, I will revert and test it.
In the meantime, they've asked me to test by switching back to "Auto" and trying to phone my phone once in a while, taking note of when I call and whether I get through, and they'll endeavour to trace those calls and find out what is going on...
I hope you'll be sending them an invoice!?!
I have this problem now. I only noticed it after a ROM upgrade (to the latest TMUK ROM). What fixed your problem in the end?
Hi All
I have had a very similar problem and have been discussing it in a separate thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=62863
As you will see, it seems to me that it is a T-Mobile issue, but they don't acknowledge that it is a fault. I don't get the same problem when I put an O2 sim in my Exec.
Other than downgrading to GPRS, I don't think there is any fix.
Mark
Mark, I've had a thought. Do you (like me) have an old 5v T-Mobile SIM.
These SIM’s can be identified either by SIM serial number 893044 05 or 16 – up to and including 893044 50. SIMs with serial numbers 893044 52 and above will be ok- anything lower is likely to be a 5v.
There was an issue when I 1st got my MDA Pro. It had to be network unlocked by T-Mobile for it to work with my SIM. Is it possible that the ROM update as "re-awakend" this problem?
(Also posted in thread you link to)
Thanks for the idea, Slave1, but I don't think that is the cause of the problem. My SIM doesn't have a serial number anything like those you suggested (it starts 060080...) and I only got it a couple of months old and so I am sure that it is a 3G one.
However, now that you mention it, I did have a problem getting the SIM to work when I first got it. I had to get on to Customer Services to get them to register it on the network becuase, they said, the shop hadn't registered it correctly!

All SIMs are usable with 3G (it's the handset that make the difference)

That's a different issue but just as frustrating.
I had another though. Is anyone using a T-Mobile SIM in an XDA Exec (or just using an O2 ROM) having the same problem?
Could it be a ROM issue?
how do i get rid of it, everytime i restart the phone, it comes back...its pissing me offfff LMAOOO HAHA....please anyone...help meeee
Did you ever figure this out?
I'm having this problem too since the latest rom upgrade. Seen a few others with the same problem after upgrading as well. I'm using ATT US X1a rom1.03.948.8.
I've tried a hard reset, swapping the sim out (as mentioned in another thread), using forwarding cancel codes (##62#), and obviously the normal call forwarding settings on the phone. It clears up the problem for a few soft resets, then it comes right back again.
call forwarding..
you seem to have call forwarding turned on.
Phone - Menu - Settings - services - call forwarding - get settings
there you will have all these type of settings like forward to number with no answer and also forward all calls.. just uncheck them all i guess.
Thanks
daniel
In NAM on AT&T, call forwarding is always turned on for something. Normally, it's turned on only for no answer and unreachable.
The phone should not show the call forwarding icon when these are the only services activated.
I don't understand how or why it happens, but I will occasionally get the call forward icon showing when I have nothing special turned on.
It will eventually go away, usually after I've had to power the device for some reason. Note, however, that it will not necessarily go away if I power the device to the specific purpose of removing the call forwarding icon.
I've never figured out what makes it show or why it goes away.
Lucky for me, I'm not too troubled by it.
Hmm
I think this problem is carrier related, (carriers have control over your call forwarding) because I have had this problem on many different phones from different manufacturers over the years. Not on my Xperia yet though.
Thanks for the replies. As stated in the earlier post, I have already tried unchecking, rechecking etc. As soon as it connects to the network it goes away. It seems to be an issue with the newest rom though as the previous rom does not have this issue at all (for me at least).
Call forwarding is definitely on the carrier side, but as soon as the phone connects to the network to pull call forward settings, it will always change the icon to the correct status (ie icon is there when forward all calls is on and not when it's not), which tells me that it's probably an issue with the rom, not the carrier. You're right about the settings George, but unfortunately I do use call forwarding from time to time and need to know when its truly on or off .
I've tried tweaking the cf values in the registry as well at hklm\software\htc\phone without any luck.
The call forwarding icon is also showing on my X1 I am on Orange UK.
I guess it can't be fixed.
Guys in US with AT&T.
I've got this issue that might be stupid but I suffer from it really bad. Everytime I get a new voice message, a text comes in with weired notes (which I know is for the phone to notify me) but I have to delete the sucker everytime. Or everytime I am in the voice box, it sends me another txt for deletion/
How can I get rid of this?
Do you guys have a good visual voice message system installed?
AT&T doesn't support any other phones except what they sell. AHhh
Thank you all.
Oddly enough my problem went away. I still think it's a ROM issue. I was playing with some other roms and eventually ended up flashing back to NAM R2AA008 (1.03.948.8). Restored my old config with full SPB backup and I haven't had the problem since.
I'm guessing that "if" it was a settings issue, the backup would've just recreated the issue. Plus hard resets didn't make the problem go away either. I even tried changing to a new sim as some people tried in other posts. But completely reflashing the rom seems to have done the trick for me at least.
The only difference that I can see is that I did the first update through SEUS. All the other flashes were done the old fashioned way. Not saying this would work for others, but it's been gone for weeks now for me.
Solution
Dial ##21# on the X1.
The "Call Forwarding" icon will disappear on the top bar of your X1. But, it won't affect your call fwd settings in the operator's mobile system.
P.S. I mean it won't change the call fwd settings defined by operator in the mobile system, e.g. no answer and the call will be directed to voice mail system.
##21# is the function code to cancel call fwd setup by your phone. If you did setup some call fwd scenarios on your phone, the call fwd icon will be displayed as an indicator for call forward is active.
For the purpose of just get rid of the icon right after power on or soft reset the phone, I think it is a simple solution.

I think most of the people having this problem on the thread are referring to a strange bug that seems to be affecting a small percentage of users. I've seen the same problem posted on a few other sites/threads as well. It doesn't really have to do with call forwarding being on at all, it's just that the icon is there. Using the forward codes or forcing an update will make it go away temporarily, but for me it kept eventually coming back no matter what I did. When my phone had the problem, I tried 21, 69, 67, 61. None of them made the issue go away permanently.
My X1 has this kind of problem as well. It is the problem from X1 itself, maybe the X1 can not log into the 2G or 3G network very well.

Whoa. LOL... I haven't seen this since the old Synergy Motorola days when we were all fascinated with foreign firmware.
I do not have this issue with the generic NAM or generic UK ROM in their latest iterations.
I guess the first thing anybody would normally suggest is to make sure you're on one of these ROM.

This is a carrier related issues. Some carrier has 2G and 3G network that if the area is not covered by 3G network, Internal using forward to their own 2G network in order to let the phone work. It happen not just on the X1, It happen on all other WM base phone I have before. However, if your carrier has only a single network whether it is 2G or 3G. This forward logo will go away. Good example. the 3 mobile Network in Hong Kong has 2G and 3G separate and on my X1, which use the 3 mobile has the forward logo all the time but on my Touch HD, I use the Smartone network which have a combine 2G and 3G network and you never see the forward logo.
Just so you know, same problem here.
The solution? I heop someone makes a pretty version for the "Call forwarding" icon haha.
With the help of Bxsteez I have fixed this issue with the R2 rom always doing this...
WC
Since the last firmware update, I have the same icon showing up.
But there is a cure at least for US AT&T.........
Like it has been said before go to phone setting
Select Call Forwarding and hit the get setting button...
Once it retrieves the setting from AT&T net, the icon goes Bye-Bye!!
I have to do this every hard-reset or complete power down...
This what works for me...

Same here for T-mobile
Same problem on my X1 and I am using HK 3 network..
I've been searching and searching to see if there was a post about this already and haven't seen one. With every phone I had before my G1 I was able to send SMS messages during a phone call. Currently my G1 is not able to do so. Does anyone else have this problem? Has it been resolved? or Am I expecting too much from my G1? I have been on the phone with T-Mobile for 6 months now trying to figure it out and "engineering" has yet to come up with a solution. Any suggestions?
I think it might depend what type of service youre connected to....
I can send sms fine when I'm on the phone and connected to 3g. I'm using 5.0.2h build.
When you say "type of service" do you mean the fact that I have T-Mobile?
Sorry I meant whether or not youre on 3G, 2G, or just plain ol G.
Do you take notice?
Well I checked in the Phone Info and I noticed that once I get on a phone call my GPRS service goes from connected to suspended and sometimes disconnected. I am not sure why this happens. I also noticed that when this happens I will get the persons text message continually. My phone worked fine when I first got it. I also just rooted and installed the 1.5rev3. Still the same thing. Any ideas?
Did you ever install any of the radio updates through your rooting process
You said you're using r3 of ADP1.5.
You need to flash this radio update:
http://sapphire-port-dream.googlecode.com/files/ota-radio-2_22_19_26I.zip
Let me know if you already have....
Yes I actually did that radio update a few hours before you posted this. I am in the process of testing it. So far out of 6 tries I have only one successful attempt of being able to text while on the phone. I am going to run the update you listed and retest the phone just incase something went wrong during the installation.
Cool, lemme know how it goes.
Okay so here is the update. The phone is still doing the same thing. I say 50% of calls my GPRS Services goes from Connected to Suspended during a call.
Is this good? I know it should always be Connected.
Hi Guys,
Wondering if anyone else has experienced this problem with their Xperia X10i
A friend of mine has an X10i and is running on the AWS WIND Mobile network. What she is experiencing, is after leaving a "no service" area and entering back into WINDS coverage, her handset is not reconnecting back onto the network. She says she always has to manually research for it.
There is nothing wrong with her sim card, and I know through experience that my Nexus One doesnt' have this issue (even with the same network search settings).
Any ideas what could be causing this and how it can be fixed? My guess is Radio
im using x10i on WIND MOBILE.. i dont hv this perticular problem.. but often whn im dialing a number it'll be showing 'call ended' thn i hv to restart the phone n manually search the network... wel there r other issues also like directly getting 'missed call' msgs instead of getting calls..lol.. im confused, is it a phone or a network..
I have the exact same problem, i'm on O2 in the UK. I find if i'm in an area with no mobile reception for 12h or so when I go back to an area with reception the phone doesn't pick this up and still shows no reception till I turn it off and back on.

That sounds like it could be both... Does your phone ever say wind away? Is your phone set to manual only or set to WCDMA?
*#*#4636#*#*
will go into a setting menu (can't be done through regular settings)
You can play around with the network settings
Does your phone ever say wind away?
I to have the exact same problem but i just restart my phone and it works again.
Maybe after so long not being on a network it unregisters you?
Exact same issue with France/Bouygues
I had the exact same thing. Taking the train got my network disconnect and coming out from the underground train, I had to search manually or sometimes reboot my phone.
I updated the phone to R2BA020 manually with the SE Update Service and it seems to be much better (it also help on the battery and other stuff). Try it!

ON THIS NETWORK.. it wont work even tryin shutting off... takin battery out.. only thing works is.. i hv to take SIM out and put it in other phone to detect and register on network.. thn putting back it my phone works!! i tried putting my frds FIDO sim in phone it works fine all the time..
its not possible to keep two phones with me and switch SIM everytime i loose signal.. dont knw wat to do? i hvnt tried the setting code u'hv given.. i'll try n let u knw.. thanx for tht.. hv ur frd tried calling WIND regarding this??
i just used this code to get in settings.. it does saysWCDMA preffered.... i couldnt find the manual setup option tho..
ive much worst issue, not sure if its sim card problem. sometimes the sim card just cannot be detect by itself.
I have the same problem with my phone in Australia (Optus). Only started noticing after 026 update..
I installing CM7.2 and SMS no longer works.
I have tried,
installing new SMS program.
Going threw settings but cant see anything out of the ordinary.
Changing the SMSC to the one for my carrier both in normal format and in PDU format
rebooting after every change
going on telstra website and asking to be sent the settings
Oh re changing the settings in baseband switcher
Nothing works, Is it as simple as something is disabled?
I wish I could find a rom that would work without crashing or things not working!
I had problem connecting to Telstra 3G (see: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1634366#). But works fine on 2G. Is this similar to you?
connects to 3g fine. Just wont send SMS messages. It hasnt sent one all day but I made plenty of calls and been on the net. Whiterabbit I had a little trouble with network not connecting when I disable juice defender but could call and send SMS.
Looks like its back to ICS again! I dont use the camera at all so thats the only problem I come across.
ok wont work on CM9 as well what the hell is going on? the SMSC is right so it cant be that!
Maybe telstra SMS service is down?
Ok put my sim card into my old sony ericsson cedar and it wont send.
Should of done that first now I flashed a ROM for no reason

：D Very good
Ok I rang telstra and they reset the account all is working again. The service people dont have a clue. They didnt even know how to get into change the SMSC number, Lucky I did if I didnt there would be no way I would find it. It was right anyway and they gave me the +61 number that doesnt work on androids lol no clue at all.
Now I have reinstalled CM7.2 again! telstra are a pain in the arse.
