I'm running CyanogenMod-4.0.4 on a rooted G1 on the Orange Switzerland network. Usually, everything is great...I love this phone and the CM stuff is awesome. But I've recently been having some trouble with calls not reaching my phone.
I noticed the problem for the first time yesterday, but can't be sure it hasn't been going on for a while now. If someone tries to call me, the call either gets sent straight to voicemail, or sometimes, it just keeps trying to connect and finally fails. Then again, some of the calls get through just fine. The phone itself had good 3G reception throughout the observed problems, and SMS and data traffic was working perfectly. Calls from my phone to others also worked all the time.
If I reboot the phone, the next call goes through without trouble, and I've also not had an established call losing connection so far.
Is anyone else observing similar trouble? Or do you think the problem sounds more like something on my providers end?
EDIT: Just something else I just remembered, no idea if it might be related: I also noticed an abnormally high battery drain today. Usually, once the phone is fully charged, the battery will last for a bit more than two days before it starts complaining. Today, about six hours after removing it from the charger, it was showing 20% charge. I recharged it from there, and it's been holding normally since then.
Not sure about the phone calls issue, but for battery life, have a look at Settings->About Phone->Battery Usage and see if anything is abnormally high.

Looks about normal to me.
Cell standby : 42%
Phone idle: 39 %
Voice calls: 10%
Display: 5%
And a bunch of small stuff.
Same problem today, have seen this on my stock G1, was the reason I did the rooting and went to JF, and now to Cyanogen.
I already re-installed Radio and HSPL, still same. Probably need today to wipe and reinstall ROM ?!
I'll keep you posted.

Do you have the Overclock Widget running on your computer ???
In the process of screwing around, I uninstalled the Overclock Widget, but also reinstalled ROM and Radio. Now everything seems to work again. So for the moment I guess the overclocker was the root cause. Will do some more testing.

Still having problems... Get voicemail if I call my phone. After reboot, phones answers again. Probably will wipe and reinstall tomorrow.

Same problem here.
I am having the same issues also. No appearant pattern to it though. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesnt. My girlfriend has called me four times in a row, some of the times, it went straight to voice mail, othertimes it will ring (on her end) then go to voicemail. My phone doesn't even show missed calls. Text messages work fine.

yeah i this happened to me yesterday. my phone would only ring 1 ring and then it would say missed call. since there are a bunch of people it seems like it could be a network issue and not the phone/rom.
I tried all kinds of stuff, but yesterday I figured out the following:
3G enabled and also connected to network via UMTS : Call goes to voicemail and I get a connection error dialing out.
Now switch settings to: Use only 2G. Effect: All calls (incoming and outgoing) perfect.
Very wired. So i guess it is a network problem. Can you guys try this as well?
I'm having similar issues.
Whenever I'm in an area that has HSDPA (3.5G) coverage, and my phone is constantly using data, the caller won't get connected (won't ring on his end nor on my end, and caller won't be forwarded to voicemail). I also have issues calling people, I would have to try calling the person like 5 or 6 times to actually make a call, I would simply not get connected, not even a ring.
If I'm in an area with normal 3G coverage (384kbps max DL speed), even if I'm using data, call WILL come through and I can make calls without problems.
On 2G, with constant data usage, phone calls would get forwarded to my voicemail automatically, so no unreported missed calls.
I'm not sure if this issue is specific to my network, but I tried calling my operator's customer support and they asked me to take my phone to its authorized dealer. I've been running cyanogens ROMs for a long time, and I'm still having those issues.
I know someone who has the hero running on the same network I'm using and is reporting similar problems.
I have seen it do this on stock, JF, the dudes, cyanogen, and now Dwang ROMS!
I have youmail setup to email me with missed calls, and every 10 or so calls will go straight to voice mail or I'll get a missed call on youmail, but not my phone never registers it....
I had called Tmobile Customer service like 6 months ago, even before there was a youmail App, (they didn't know what youmail was).....told me it was a youmail problem....
I am pretty sure its not a youmail problem, but I have no idea what in the heck it is..
Its happened once or twice (that Im aware of). Running the modded stock from here.
Also my notorious problem with MMS.
Not sure what it is. My real curiosity is if this happens on Moto Cliq and Droid. Really curious if these weirdo issues are HTC...G1...or android based.
A similar issue has been reported to google, please star this so it gets some attention by android developers. Missing calls and not get notified about them is a big issue for me.

I have a tmobile sidekick lx and it is doing the same thing. Does anyone know anything about that at all?

Hi,
On my XDAII (1.72) I sometimes experience a not responding phone/SMS application or radio stack.
People trying to call me are instantly redirected to the voicemail, and if I try to make eiter a call or send a text message, respectively the phone application is stalling or the SMS 'Send' button stays in the 'pressed' state.
Soft-resetting the phone or toggling the 'turn off radio' function re-establishes the radio.
Does anyone knows of a solution?
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated and possibly rewarded with a 6-pack Heineken beer
weird, mines just done the same thing. I sent an sms and nothing. I was then taken to the phone screen and it said something like invalid sim something.
I'm wondering if the sim card is not locked in place. I was fiddling around with mine yesterday and maybe forgot to lock the sim card in place.
Just a thought but maybe worth checking :wink:
what radio version do you have ? I recently have the problem that when people call me, the ringtone goes for about 2 seconds, then restarts, etc.
Meanwhile I can do nothing ( green button don't work) . When the caller hangs up my phone returns to the normal state.
I use radio 1.18. Thinking of downgrading to 1.17 which people say is more stable.

Hello folks,
I have the same problem now for a week... It's driving me crazy... At
some point in time during the night or the day my Qtek2020 gets weird.
The result is that people trying to call me can't connect but to viocemail,
and I can't receive SMS. The only way I can see that I am having this
problem is that whenever I try to send a SMS I get a message "your SMS
cannot be sent", and if I try to make a call, the phone seems to dial out
normally the first second, but then the DIAL-button (which is color-less)
becomes green again...
Please, if someone knows what's wrong or if someone had the same
problem and solved without having to default the whole thing, please
let me know what is the solution.. It is really annoying, so I now have
to randomly reset my phone throughout the day.
PS: my battery is now on 4% so I have to look for my charger, and
after that I can supply with info about radio-version etc. I am running
WM2003 by the way, and I've had no problems like this before, this
unit has been working fine until now. I guess it's a sw-bug? And I
am also wondering if this problem occurs whenever I pass a place
with low signal.. hmm, it's so annoying..
Thanks for any help!

I've been having problems similar to the OP for 2-3 weeks now (found this thread in a search before posting). It's damned annoying, as it means you can't really trust your phone - am I meant to reset every morning, or more frequently? It seems an intermittent problem, in so far as I've been receiving and making calls as normal, and then you someone asks 'did you get my text?'. Gritting teeth, you call the phone from a landline to find that calls are going straight to voicemail. After a soft reset all missing texts are received immediately, and calls can again be received.
When in this state other PDA functions seem to work as normal. However, I suspect that the power display is "suspended" too. On performing a soft reset after experiencing this problem today, I immediately got "your battery is extremely low", whereas before the reset I recall it was around 50% (vBar image). As others have stated, one clue that not all is well is that sent texts do not get a "Message sent" confirmation.
I've been racking my brains as to what's changed recently on my PDA. For family reasons I've been making a lot more calls than usual, but I also added TomTom Navigator 5 a couple of months ago, and so have started intermittently using BT. But I don't use Sat Nav that frequently, and this problem seems more prevalent.
I'm conscious that I don't have latest and greatest ROM, etc, but am vary about attempting upgrades without strong reasons.
Has anyone seen and solved this issue?
Have you tried cleaning the contacts on the sim card? After a while dust and general wear and tear can mess them up. Also as it's obviously(?) a phone problem it might be beneficial to call your service provider for a new sim card.
That's what I had to do last week. Wish you the best anyway.
It can't have anything to with the sim card as I'm having this problem with a brand new sim card.
I've been losing many calls with my Wizard. The callers tell me that my phone rings and rings but I do not answer. I have voicemail disabled. I don't know if I'm losing SMS also but I haven't noticed it yet.
Some strange things that happened to me:
1) I was playing Final burn and noticed the classic slow downs that you see when you're about to receive an SMS or when your phone is ringing, but the phone did not ring. I kept playing and when I got home my father told me he called me many times, and I am sure it was during the time I was playing. It seems the phone was receiving the call but for some reason it did not ring.
2) I was near some speakers and heard the classic interference buzzing noise you hear when you're about to receive a call or SMS, it was constant, but the phone did not ring. I then took the phone and placed it up the speakers to make sure it was my phone and sure it was because the noise increased. I then turned the phone on and after two seconds it started ringing. I answered and the caller told me the phone rang many times before I answered.
This seems to be a power saving issue... I'm using IPL 3.08, SPL 3.08, GSM 2.47.11, OS 2.18.7.8 (spanish). Provider is Telecom Personal here in Argentina.
It is very annoying to come somewhere and hear "Hey I called you and you did not answer!!!" or worst yet, "Hey I called you many times during the day and you did not answer!!!"
It is a problem on the phone for sure because the provider does not say my phone isn't available, it just rings and rings.
Does anybody know what can I try to solve this? It is very annoying!!
Many thanks in advance!
Try updating your radio rom. I had the same problem with an older Radio rom like 2.07 or something then changed it to the latest one for my country (UK) and it works fine now. If you still get problems flash back to the orginal rom designed for your device.
here is the latest 2.69 radio:
ftp://xda:[email protected]/Wizard/Radio_Roms/faria 02.69.11.rar
Many thanks for the link. I just updated the ROM and will be testing it from now on... hope it fixes the problem!!
Its common for anyone with a Burned ROM.
there are many threads on it. mainly Cingular having issues, but I guess your provider can have them too.
Check around the Wizard forums here
Hello,
I have also problems with it.
I have T-Mobile NL (The Netherlands).
Still losing calls with 2.69.11...
Today, a friend of mine called me home and said "Hey I'm calling you to your cellphone and you don't answer!". I told him "Hmm please call me right now". He put the speakerphone and I heard through the land line that the phone was calling, but my phone did not ring. I turned it on and voila... it started ringing and I could accept the call. THIS IS VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY ANNOYING!!!!!!!!
Any clues, anyone??????? Should I try WM6? I don't want to reinstall my programs!! And there's no spanish version of WM6!! I'd hate to do that!!
Maybe I can try with a lower version of the radio??
Thanks!!
When you say you "turn it on", what exactly do you mean?

Unless I'm missing something here, I think that's generally the way it works -- your phone has to be ON before it will ring.
I'm pretty sure there is a spanish WM6 ROM floating around...in the WM thread
I think what he meant by 'turn it on', is waking-up the phone from suspend/sleep mode. Read his first post, regarding the speaker-thing.
Anyway, I'm not sure about spanish ROM, but isn't it the most stable Radio is 2.19? I have read somewhere, that some of these newer version of radio has this problem.
least troublesome among the radio's is "2.19", so i suggest download it and test it out
Im using 2.25 radio which was included in wizard love. It works perfectly that i know of anyway i used to get calls that would ring for 2 rings then nothing and people said they called but no reply so i upgraded my radio rom and it was fine. Make sure you have a good signal aswell because if you only have one bar sometimes its not good enough to recieve a call.
With "turn it on" yes, I meant pressing the power button to wake up the phone. Of course I did not meant "turn it on" from a total off state. I'd have to wait for it to boot if I do that... and it takes around a minute so the call would be lost anyway
I'll try 2.19 with the hope it will solve it... will post the results after a few days...
Thanks to all!!!
I checked the FTP and noticed that there are two radio versions for 2.19: UK and NL. What's the difference between them? The size difference is big... 2.7mb vs 2.2mb. Telecom Personal works on 850/1900 so which one should I try?
Thanks!!
Marton
Any clues?
I've noticed that i dont get any calls when the gprs connection is alive and transferring data (check email/web etc.)... anyone else confirm this?
I don't use GPRS... I lose calls without using it.
I installed 2.19UK two days ago. I will test it for a few days to see if this version loses calls as well...
Well, after two weeks of testing, I am glad to say that I have had no reports of unanswered calls so I think my phone will live the rest of its life with 2.19UK.
Yieeeeeeeeeeeeee-Haw!!! Now I DO have a phone!!!
Hello,
This doesn't always happen, but i have had my phone in one hand and i have been calling it with my home phone in the other hand and it goes straight to voice-mail even though i have full/plenty of signal! It seems to happen more consistently when the phone is asleep, but does occasionally happen with the screen on. This appears random, but happens A LOT! My girlfriend has given up calling me because she is fed up of hearing my voicemail!
This problem DOES NOT EXIST when im just booted in WinMo, only happens after i boot into android. I have checked this lots to rule out a lot of problems. However, in case it helps i am on O2 UK.
I have followed all the FAQ's and other info for clean installs and how to keep everything working, but just cant seem to shake this one problem!
This problem has happened consistently using different builds from different chefs. I am using the 2.15.50.14 radio ROM and the latest NRG WinMo ROM (have tried a couple but doesnt seem to affect my android!)
I have tried searching, but cant find anything specific to Android booting on Winmo to do with this problem.
Can you help me?!
Thanks,
Max
Please somebody help me, this is a serious problem, after all, a phones first and foremost feature should be a phone!
Try flashing a new radio onto the phone
Go back to an older radio? I'll give it a shot
Thanks
Flashing a new radio has made no difference Someone must have an answer! As odd as this sounds, i think the phone doesnt show the calls when the screen is on... havnt tested this theory much though...
I've had the same problem no matter if it's an SD build or a NAND rom. It's like when the phone goes in standby it just loses service or something. It NEVER happens when I have it set only on Edge though. It's weird! I guess it's a good think I don't answer the phone most the time anyways.
This is still happening on different radios and roms. I have also noticed that occasionally i have full signal but when i try to do anything online i get a connection error message, also i am unable to send any messages, handcent sms goes crazy thinking that i have signal but being unable to send the message giving me about 5 notifications per unsent text, imagine what happens when i send out a group text....!
This is not a huge issue on the net, which must mean theres a fix or everybody would be having this?
Whats different about my circumstances?!
Again, to reiterate, i have absolutely no problems on WinMo.
i used to get this a fair bit with certain radios on wm roms, stock and cooked, still do occasionally, , i have a very weak reception spot in my house, and if i sit there for too long it does it. I can walk back upstairs (great signal) but it continues to show 1 bar, and calls go to vm.
The only thing that ever worked for me was changing the radio. i have it down to two that very rarely do it, 2.07.50 and 2.11.50.
I also started using a toggle to keep 3g off unless i was using it, i think it is possibly triggered by auto switching gsm/3g/gsm/3g/gsm/3g.
I had one today .. missed call .. Didn't show up on the phone.
I had one today .. missed call .. Didn't show up on the phone.
Only way I knew someone had called .. was they left a VM.
However 99% of my callers never leave a VM.
( Mostly Cause I Tell them Not to! lol )
Because I always see the missed calls and call them back!
Really would like to find a fix ..
I use my phone for Biz and if I miss a call that could me $$$ out of my pocket!
Maybe the Devs Can Figure it out
I have also had this problem with both sd and nand android. Not sure if it happened with winmo, never known of it happening with winmo. But I too have called from house phone to my cell and the call doesn't show up on my cell, and when I check the cell, I have a signal. It's always been in standby when it happens afaik. The only reason I know it happens often is because my girlfriend will tell me that she's called a couple times and my phone wouldn't show it. I figured it must be a problem with T-mobile or something, but hearing that other people have this problem with android, it makes me wonder what the real issue is. I'm gonna be playing around with wp7 now in addition to android, so I'll try to see if I have this problem with wp7. I actually usually have people call my google voice number now, which transfers the calls to my cell and my house, and then google voice lets me know if i miss a call, so this way I know for sure if I miss a call.
Similar issue... possibly a build problem?
I've had this occur on some builds of Android too. I didn't use WinMo long enough to make a comparison. Does it occur more when you are in a weak signal area? Most of the times it has happened to me, I have been sitting with the phone in my pocket, and I think the reception might not be the best.
switching to a NAND ROM seems to have fixed my problem for now! Shame that didnt work for you.
Yeah please let us know if it exists in WP7. No idea how to use google voice, maybe i should check it out!
I'm in Estonia. Phone is N4 16GB stock 4.2.2, no mods/no root.
Have an issue with gsm radio.
When phone is active, then i have signal, I am able to call out and receive calls, BTW, calls don't drop. When left untouched for approx 10minutes it is cut from carrier. It does show the coverage bars, but when called in, then states as out of coverage. When trying to place call it hangs in dialing display. When trying to end the stuck call, it hangs on ending call display. Have tried different SIMs from different carriers, the problem remains. Only cure so far is to reboot, then i get next 10 minutes of service. Have restored to factory settings couple of times, tried without applying Google account. No luck. F***!
What to do? Has anyone faced similar issue?
Rolled baseband M9615A-CEFWMAZM-2.0.1700.48 back to M9615A-CEFWMAZM-2.0.1700.27, got longer usage time, radio still freezes
I get weird data loss too with 48, never calls though. I too prefer 27 as a result and that just works for me.
With 27 however your autofocus wont work anymore (camera) but since I don't use it that much guess that's not a biggie (touch to focus still works however).
I've been using AICP for a while (Marshmallow), but haven't done an update in a while. By a while, I mean that I don't think I've flashed anything in weeks. Suddenly, I cannot make or receive calls today. Yesterday I made a number of calls just fine. I checked all the standard possible causes, dialer apps, default apps for phone, etc. After no success, I decided to flash back to stock.
Now I'm on stock 6.0. Same problem, cannot make calls. All I get is a screen which says "dialing" until it makes a tone sound and hangs up, never rings anyone. My phone never rings or responds when other people call. I do have full bars and service, and my APN is set up properly with AT&T in the USA. SMS and Data work fine, and so does WiFi. No other problems at all with the phone. I've had it for about a year and a half with no real hardware issues other than a loose charging port. No drops, no cracked screen or anything.
I'm wondering if anybody has a clue about what the problem with my phone is. I'm willing to generate and provide logs if there's a way to do that which could show the issue.
EDIT1: Derp, just tried the SIM in my girlfriend's phone. Seems to by my sim card. I'll go to AT&T tomorrow and report back here if the issue is fixed.
