SMS Issue - G1 General

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:

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.

MDA Pro - Not ringing when I phone it :(

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
John
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?

Problem: Calls are at random forwarded to voicemail!!

Hi Guys,
Since a week or so calls are at random directly forwarded to my voicemail.
I have checked my "call forwarding" settings and they are normal:
Forwarding is enabled if I don`t answer after 25 sec, when I`m unavailable and when I`m busy. After a couple of hours I recieve a sms that I have messages waiting in my voicemail. This happens totally at random because a couple of hours later the same people can reach me without any problems
I am assuming that my phone sometimes loses connection to the T-mobile network and so I am unavailable and the call is forwarded to my voicemail. The reason why I assume this is because don`t see a missed call on my phone. I have never had problems with dropped connections nor noticed that I connection is lost. .
Only thing that I recently changed was upgrading my rom to Molski.Biz Rom (RUU_Molski.Biz_226102_22610105_022511_WWE ) on 2 october but I only noticed the problems about a week, so I don`t know if it can be related. I also upgraded to the 2.47.11 radio ROM to see if it would help but without difference so I reverted back tot the 2.25.11 radio ROM
I called T-mobile and they told me it must be related to the phone and couldn`t be a problem with different carriers nor the T-mobile network.
Has anyone have had these problems? or knows a sollution to this?
Greetings,
Averixcool
Edit: running software: Agenda Fusion, Photo contacts and handyswitcher and I don`t have GPRS programs running.
I guess you are losing the connection. You should look for some sort of a pattern? What seems to be random may not be random at all.
Also... You still get SMS for voicemail notification? That's some deja vu...
What software do you have installed that might go out to the internet from time to time? Do you have an email account setup where it will check every 15 minutes?

I don`t have any software that is using the internet on my phone! So that can`t be the problem.
I haven't noticed any pattern in the forwarding or losing my connection. It is happening on different times of the day. It always happens in standby modus of the phone but I do recieve the SMS for voicemail notification but sometimes 3 hours later, so it could be that the connection was lost during 3 hours?
I think i have the same problem. It happens not very often (i think) but its very annoying.
I also found out that my problem is only related to inbound calls.
Cos I was able to place an outbound call with my wizard but i couldnt call it using another phone. It just switches immediatly to voicemail and indeed after a few hours the inbound connection comes back up again and the voicemail-notices start coming in.
I've had numerous calls with the T-mobile helpdesk about this and they also said it was probably phone-related.
Not looking forward to send it off and live without my baby for a cple of weeks
Oh by the way I have rom:2.26.10.2 WWE
I also noticed today that`s only inbound! Today a buddy of mine was calling me while in front of the door. So we tested it right away. He called me again and I also called with my home phone to my mobile and both times directly the voicemail.
Strange thing was that the whole time I had connection with the T-Mobile network with 4 stripes network strength, so the connection wasn`t lost but I was unreachable. At the same I could place a outbound call without any problems.
Is this still phone related?
Full strength connection with T-Mobile network and only inbound calls blocked, outbound no problemo. I don`t get it anymore!
maybe try a different radio and see if that helps the problem.

The threadstarter allready tried another radio, i don't know if there is newer one. I would gladly give it a try.
My wild stab in the dark would be that something goes wrong when moving to another gsm-antenna (location)
Somehow the phone is not reporting as available or something.(i have no clue about gsm technology so never mind )
Heej there,
got exactly the same thing over here since I've upgraded to Molski's Rom 2261002nld. Also updated to radio 24711 but it didnt change.
I'm now flashing it back to tmob 2210205 to see if it's ok now....
I'll keep you informed...

Is this just a Dutch problem? I'm thinking it is more of a network problem despite what T-mobile.NL are saying.
Does the problem occur at peak times?
I have a similar problem. I was getting Voicemail notifications without the phone even ringing. Then i ran into someone and they said they called several times and i never answered. So I called my own phone and takes my phone 4 or 5 beeps for it to ring.
I'm on shogun and faria's cingular 2.26rom i also have photo contacts on.
Problem Solved
I had the same problem (also with T-Mobile Dutch by the way) with the 2.26 rom until I downgraded my radio rom to 02.07.10. All is fine now.
I also have the same problem. Using 2.26 dutch rom
same problem
I have the same problem after installing the new Molski 2.26.10.2 AKU2.3 Rom.
I have the same problem
t-mo 2.26 WWE
Same problem here only with Jester rom Aku 2.3 and T-mobile dutch
Well, I still have the problem about every other day.
And yes. I'm in the Netherlands.
I'm considering returnung it to t-mobile because i cannot trust my phone anymore. It sucks
Hello,
As far as I know (and our Orange's contact has confirmed us this issue), active GPRS data connections make incoming voicecalls to be redirected to voicemail. This doesn't happen if your device is GPRS-attached to the network but not trasmitting/receiving any data at the moment the call is produced.
This effect has become more noticeable since new devices implement DirectPush, so they are permanently updating info from the exchange server.
I'm sorry, the only solution I know for this is to use a 3G/UMTS device, which enables true simultaneous voice and data connections.
Regards,
CATuser

Got the same problem. It seems only to occur on the T-mobile Dutch network. I'm running Molski's rom and tried both 2.25.11 and 2.47.11. I don't think it's a gprs issue, because there was no gprs connection when it happened. Also no active programs that use gprs.
Didn't have the problem at all with the latest dutch T-mobile rom.
I just flashed my radio rom back to 2.19.11 from the original rom. I hope it will solve the issue.
Rectification
Hello. I asked again my Orange's contact person and it seems that what I said wasn't very precise in the sense that voicecall redirections occur only under specific circumstances like channel congestion on the network's cell. Normally voice has priority over GPRS and it can 'steal' radio channels from active data sessions so the bandwidth is reduced. But it shouldn't allow to steal the last channel if it was busy. Maybe in this case an incoming call could be redirected to voicemail.
Of course, a problem with a specific rom version and its radio interface could be a problem. I'm sorry if my contribution should blurr your insight into the problem.
I will ask network engineers to learn more details about this issue.
Bye,

GPRS isnt working *HELP!*

since 10am today my gprs hasnt been working, not connecting for some reason, which results in me not being able to send texts or make phone calls but can receive both calls and texts????
i have got full network signal aswell, does anyone no how i can fix this, i have reset phone but still no luck
thanks
chadders
If you phone is getting calls and texts ms then its not your phone. Its on the providers end. Sometimes they have outgoing information problems.
Also when trying to troubleshoot something use the first step and best rule of thum. Ask your self "What has changed"? then go from their.
If it was working before 10am and you had not changed anything its more then likely the provider. Their is nothing you can do their except wait or call them to get a ETA on the problem fix.

Call Forwarding Icon in Task Bar...ARGHHHH

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...

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...

JF 1.41 RC33 Problem

I updated my jf 1.41 rc30 to jv 1.4.1 RC33. It updated fine and then i noticed my home button would not work, also my green call button does not bring up "dialer" like it use to but when i access dialer and click the green button over a contact it dials. Any ideas how to fix this?

Did you do a wipe?
no they said it was not necessary
I've ran into that issue a couple times, before I ever started using the modded images, and the only way around it I found was a wipe. To be honest I think the cause of my similar problem was related to the Locale app.
I got this problem too.. I did a reset to factory default and everythiing gone ok.
After upgrading to RC33 i had issues with AnyCut, it would not create a shortcut. didn't matter if i left it in the menu, ont he homescreen or in a folder. I ended up uninstalling it and reinstalling. then it worked fine.
I am thinking a wipe might be in order...just in case other hidden issues arise.
I've got a different problem. I don't have T-Mo signal at my house, so I only use WiFi to access the internet, and UMA on another phone for calls.
Last weekend, (which was the first time I tried to access data on edge or gprs, since updating to JF's ADP 1.41), I noticed I didn't have the E or G data thing next to the signal thing anymore. (We don't have 3G).
Then I tried accessing the weather, and all of my weather programs, as well as maps, market, and the browser said I didn't have a connection.
I didn't have much time to check things out, since we were busy. Today, we went to T-Mo coverage land again, and my data connection didn't work again.
I've checked all my APN's, and they look fine. I also tried changing them to wap, internet2 and internet 3, but no success.
Has anyone else had this problem? (I can send sms and mms, then I see the little data thingy doing it's thing, but that's the only time I see it since rooting). Also, If I call customer care, they will probably try to reset my phone. What will that do to my ADP? Should I tell them I have a Dev phone?
Or has anyone here got any tips for getting data back? (I did a wipe and reapplied the ADP ROM, but that didn't fix anything).

Or has anyone here got any tips for getting data back? (I did a wipe and reapplied the ADP ROM, but that didn't fix anything).

I'm experiencing the same problem now. Did you manage to get it fixed?
I have the same problem switching from wifi back to edge data... the only short term fix i have found to get the mobile net back is send a picture message to yourself. It causes the phone to create the connect and then you should be able to resume using the Edge data...
i was actually coming on here to find a fix for this myself.

Did you recently install any new apps?
I updated my WeatherBug, Steel, Personal Safety, SMS Popup and Discover and installed TetherBlu, TetherWiFi.
I have already uninstalled all of these and tried a reboot. But it didn't work.
I'm starting to panic. I'll try your suggestion.
this was the case right after i installed rc33 there was a thread about the radio that i had been posting on. Thinking my radio update made it so i could not get on market etc... but this was the work around i found for this problem. From the sounds of the other user who said he doesn't have TMo reception near his house. this radio was probably not meant for the non-3g users or there is something wrong with the default connect on the radio...

I've contacted Tmobile and it seems there is a severe network outage for 3G services that is also effecting some Edge networks as well. I've posted info on the site but people continue to post that they are having issues with data on their G1. They told me that it seems to be only on the west coast (west of the Mississippi) and the Tier 3 was being flooded by calls until 6am EST (for the customer service department to open). The network went down around 10pm PST and it is still pending. It's a good thing I decided to call first before reflashing!
Right but in rc33 it doesn't smoothly resume mobile edge from wifi. thats where i told the user if you send a test pic to yourself it will make the connection. Who knows about your network outtages...

Hmmm... I've never had issues resuming an edge network after a wifi connection. I use wifi at home because INSIDE I don't get 3G. Outside (for some reason) I get full strength 3G connection at around 400kb/s. So when I wonder outside to check the mail while I'm downloading a new theme update it doesn't miss a beat for me. I lose contact with my weak a** wifi and jump right on 3G. No download error or anything. As for Edge... not sure. Sorry for the misunderstanding.
this was posted somewhere before...
cant remember where..
solution is to install anycut.
make a shortcut on the main screen, choose the shortcut to be "setup wizard"
this forces the phone to go thru the initial setup again..
most reported that after going thru this process again, home button works after that...
hope it works for u.
