Sorry if this is in the wrong area... I'm using a hermes (actually a cingular 8525) with the schaps 4.01 rom installed. I'm having an issue where I am not able to answer the phone because it stops ringing too soon. I can't get it to ring longer than 20 seconds. I'm betting this is a provider issue, but I can't even find "ring length" in the voicemail setup. I'm using AT&T.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. BTW, I did a forum search and didn't turn up with anything useful (probably not using the right terms)>
hi, see posts 4 & 5 here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=297674

I found out that I'm not always getting a notification of a missed call or a new SMS. If I don't have any service and somebody calls me, he/she gets my voicemail. Normally if you then get service again, you receive a message saying that you have a new voicemail.
I only get that message when I'm making a phone call or when I'm sending an SMS.
If somebody calls me when my phone is off, and I turn the phone back on, I immediately get a voicemail message. So if I switch to flight-mode and back, the problem does not occur.
A friend with an Orange M500 has the same problem.
To rule out my service provider, I tried my SIM in a Nokia 6230. Then the problem did not occur.
Does anybody experience this problem? Or even better, does anybody have a solution for this?
Thanks.
I think this may be a ROM problem, I seem to remember a similar problem when I had 1.11 installed. I wasn't getting the voicemail symbol appearing next to the START button when I had a voicemail waiting.
Vodafone send me an SMS so I knew from that. Since I have installed 1.12 I always see a little tap reader symbol (voicemail) at the top when I have a voicemail waiting.
Hope this helps,
M

Hi. Thanks for your response. I will try 1.12. But first I have to find it.
I have a QTek S100 and I can't find a ROM for that phone.
But I'll let you know the outcome as soon as I have upgraded.
There's a 1.12 I think in the FTP directory. I got mine from my supplier and its better than 1.11 apart from the GPRS problem which is being discussed in another topic here.
At the moment I am hard resetting my QTEK S100 with 1.12 installed and not installing the external ROMs. Hopefully this will work as one of the other guys on the forum has done this and has no GPRS problems.
Good luck

There are some versions (for example WWE_11200_120_11200) on the FTP server, but they say that I have a wrong country ID. And I don't like to use the complicated installation method (using MaUpgradeUt.exe).
Good luck with your installation.
1.12 fixed the problem. I friend uses 1.06 and he doesn't have this problem. So, 1.11 seems to be a but buggy
Thanks for your help.
Hi all,
I've spent the last 3 weeks searching through everything so as not to waste anyones time with a simple question but to no avail.
I've been given an XDA II from a family member as they have upgraded to the Exec and I have been using it as a PDA only. Well I see that Orange have some good deals on the go and so decide to use it as a phone/Internet enabled PDA.
I've unlocked it (many times now) got 2003SE on it and have put the correct MMS and GPRS settings in (The ones from Shadamehr). I've checked with Orange and GPRS is enabled on my account with them (PAYG at the mo) but for some reason the same thing that was happening when I first got it pops up
"Cannot connect
There is no modem at the above number..."
So best my small mind can figure is that somehow the 'phone part' of the PDA isn't working. I've tried other sims in it and they don't work either (o2 and Three - but I think Three is funny anyways). Is there something wrong with the actual phone bit?
It's a legit XDA with the M1000 ROM upgrade from the orange site which has made it 2003SE
Does anyone have any knowledge about how I can get my PDA to be a phone? It was once before (but with O2)
Thanks in advance for any and all help.

No modem at above number
Thanks for the link, but believe me I've tried this. I retried it to be sure just now.
"No modem at above number" is what I get after the XDA II tries to connect.
I have no phone reception whatsoever, no internet and no SMS.
My XDA II just works as a PDA with no communication possiblities apart from USB cradle.
Again, thanks in advance for any and all help with this.

If there's no phone reception, and no GPRS, how do you expect to connect to one?
Not to be mean or anything, but aren't your hopes of connecting a little farfetched if all the systems you're trying to use are down?

Your not being mean, believe me after a month of searching through here and SPV developers anything that wuld resolve this issue would be appreciated.
Why would the phone element of my XDA just stop working? I can only imagine some sort of Hardware fault but I'm a thorough bunny and would like to make sure of this. A diagnostic app or some way of reading the phone element like a device driver would be handy.
So in brief, why has my phone part of my XDA II stopped working and how do I switch it back on again (if this is at all possible)?
Thank you for your replies thusfar Cynagen, I shall start to ask these questions in the Himalaya forum also now since it seems model specific and not network related.
Any and all further assistance is much appreciated.

I cannot find a thread for those of us who use the new PTT feature for the 8525. I upgraded to the official HTC cingular ROM 2.15.502.3. I have been having nothing but problems with the PTT. I did not notice it at first because I usually initiate the PTT call. It works just fine if I initiate the call. I can talk back and forth but if someone else tries to PTT me then it comes in on my phone as a voice call. The difference is that it has the 10 digit number with 33 added on at the end. I cannot talk back to the person.
I have done the following to try to resolve the issue:
Uninstalled any dialers
uninstalled all added software
I have even did a Hard Reset
Called ATT 3 times to get it resolved (They tried to transfer me to HTC support but I got disconnected)
I am at a loss and cannot find any other threads that would help. If anyone has any suggestions it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
I recently acquired an unlocked O2 Atom Life and promptly upgraded to WM6. Everything is working pretty well, except that I don't get voicemail notifications when I have voicemail waiting for me. I am with T-Mobile USA. I live in So Cal., so technically I am using Cingular's network (that's what it says on my screen at least) but T-Mobile is my official provider.
I used to have an I-Mate Jam with WM2003 SE and was getting the voicemail icon promptly after someone had left me a message.
I put in a request with O2 regarding this problem, but I got no answer so far.
Can anyone help me with this?
Well, I have done a little experiment. I have called the T-Mobile USA voicemail center (not my phone) and left myself a message. As soon as I hang up, my Atom Life (which is on but with the screen off) wakes up (the screen lights up) but I get no voicemail notification icon.
This clearly indicate that I get a signal from the network. However, this signal isn't being interpreted by the OS.
Has anyone had this problem before? Is there a hack or registry entry or something I could do?
O2 support is of no help. They basically told me: "sorry we don't support the Atom Life in the US".
Please help!
Hello,
I too live in the US and I have an XDA Atom Life and I don't receive voicemail notifications either. My experience with O2 Support has been like yours regarding this mattter. Just curious, did you ever get this resolved?
I used to have an XDA Atom Exec and I never encounterd this problem with that device.
Thanks in advance for your response.
Cheers.

My sister and I are on a family plan with T-Mobile. She is using Dopod 818 Pro, and I am O2 Atom Life. She has the little tape icon each time there is a voicemail waiting for me, but I face the same problem with as everyone above! I called T-mobile, and they claimed it could be phone-specific problem. I kinda agree. So, I get around the problem by going to my voicemail, and set it to page me when there is a voicemail. Nowadays, I will get a short call from my own no., so I know I got a voicemail. I prefer the little tape icon or text message, but what I have is better than not knowing at all.
Does anyone have anything on this yet?
Am also using the paging notification since I don't get that icon on my Atom Life.

Hey people, I also need help. Plese help me if anyone had solved this problem...
My work-around
I spoke at length with a real sharp techie at T-Mobile about this a year ago and after some discussion he realized that there were simply no registry hacks or other answers to this issue (he even took the issue to the T-Mobile support group engineers and called me back 24 hours later saying they couldn't figure it out, either). But he recommended a free voicemail service which has resolved - for all practical purposes - my issue.
The problem: I get a voicemail, but I see no "tape" indicator telling me so.
The REAL problem: I have no idea if there are VMs waiting for me at any given time without calling in.
The solution: YouMail! Highly configurable, much more options than T-Mobile's voicemail, FREE, and it'll send you text messages when you get a voicemail.
So I still don't get the tape indicator, but I do get a text message that pops up - and I get the text message indicator telling me a text is waiting. I added increased text capacity to my plan for about $5/month, and I'm golden. Highly recommend this approach.
PS - I don't work for - or have any vested interest in - YouMail. Just a happy customer.
i do not like the service of T-mobile at all. me and my family always prefer verizon. T-mobile always messes situations for you.
Solution for removing Voicemail notification
Hello everybody, I am a new guy to this forum and gotta say that it's very useful... Tons of useful information.
Here is the deal about voicemail notifications:
use your favorite registry editor for WM and navigate to
"HKCU\System\State\Messages\vmail\Line1\Unread"
There should be a value name "Count" (not ****) with some REG_DWORD value
Change value to 0 (decimal)
Do the same to the registry key
"HKCU\System\State\Messages\vmail\Line2\Unread"
and
"HKCU\System\State\Messages\vmail\Total\Unread"
It should remove Voicemail notification icon from the startbar.
In case you don't have registry editor, here is the one:

Enjoy!
Hello,
I bought a new HTC advantage x7501 unlocked, trying to use it on Fido network, however whenever I call the unit, the unit does not being to ring until at least the second ring, usually the third and often I miss a phone call completely. The signal strength is at its maximum when tried this. I did do a hard reset, searched google and all nada. Can someone please help ?
Thanks
Just tonight I was running call tests on my unit, and I see the same 2-ring delay. Doesn't matter if its asleep or fully on. I still have plenty of time to answer before voicemail kicks in. That delay is dictated by your carrier.
What sim card are you running? Do you know? Is there any way the check if you have the 64k or the 128k? I found some threads not related specifically to the X7501 but to the HTC hermes, that if you have the 64k sim card and an HTC hermes you might get some communication troubles, but that thread was pretty old and I'm sure HTC fixed that issue already.
Anyhow, hard reset doesn't solve this problem, and I do not even know how to begin addressing this issue.
Try some or all of the following:
Make sure your ringtone is in the Windows folder, or the ringtones folder.
Try a .wav ringtone (yes, i prefer mp3 too - wavs are too big)
Tweaks2k2.net has a disable 3 second delay option - there is probably a registry key somewhere.

which radio version are u using sometimes it is releated to the radio version and upgrading or downgrading to another rdio helps the problem. missing calls are mostly releated to radio version of devices.
I have not flashed this unit at all, and the default ringtone is there and yes I tried changing it too.
I'm begging to suspect that this might be a sim card issue. I'm using SM-32 from fido, is there one that is sm-64 or 128? google search did not reveal much..
Thanks
hi,
i use phonealarm software with my athena, and i have the next issue:
if i active phonealarm, the phone sounds after the second or third ring,
but if i deactive phonealarm, the phone sounds just after the first rings.
use you PA soft?
note: i have tested and obtained the same results storing the rings at the
storage card, microdrive or programs memory. the problem is PA !!
next probe:: enable PA but set to "System" the "ring" and "ring type" parameters
at the all profiles. the result is fine: plays the configured sounds after the
first ring [i use mp3]
S.O.S
Is PhoneAlarm software enabled by default? I can not seem to be able to locate this anywhere on the phone?
Plus I got a little bit further with Fido, I have disabled my voicemail and now the phone rings after the second ring. Does this make any sense to anyone ?
S.O.S
SOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM, READ:
Simple, the "Radio" code that comes with the x7501 / x7500 unlocked can NOT handle the the "Name Display" feature properly, thus causing the phone to miss class and or ring later. In EU they do NOT have "Name Display", wow. Thats the problem. I wish to that I found the answer sooner, I thought that is the purpose of such boards like these, no? Am I that wrong?

Just need to call your carrier and have them increase the ring count before voicemail picks up. Tonight at dinner my mother complained about this on her phone - it would go to vm after 3 rings. She called cust service and upped it to 6 rings. Problem solved.
