G1 loses ability to use service (calls/sms) - G1 General

after rooting and flashing CaNNoN202 Complete Eclair (v2.1) with danger spl and 2_22_23_02 radio and google apps, my phone will work for a while then if i go to make a call it will say its dialing yet I hear no ringing then it will say the person picked up yet I hear nothing no sound whatsoever.... Same if I try to answer an incoming call. Also if I try to go to the call settings it freezes and I get the a force close for the dialer. If I try to send an sms it goes crazy and I get a bunch of errors saying I have no service when according to the dockbar I have full service... Anyone else have this problem and solved it? Also I was having the same problem with 5.0.7 Cyanogenmod.

I have had the same problem, the problem disappeared when I went to the newest, non test version of CM 5 and the updated radio. I had to cycle the radio by turning on airplane mode and then turning back off airplane mode. I tired different roms etc and it didn't fix it but for some reason the newest CM5 fixes the issue

G1 missing calls recently...very weird

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?

cant make calls?

Just got a slide for my wife and with the stock rom it would reboot when trying to make a call, so I rooted it and put cm6 on it with the latest baseband,now after I make 2 to 4 calls I can't send or recive calls or text until I reboot.can anyone help
Im having the same issue and it seems to have something to do with the radio.
Things i have noticed with this issue:
Theres a lot of people having it.
when this occcurs, several things change with the device:
you cant make calls just sits at "dialing" until it times out (cm6/7). reboots (stock rom)
sometimes calls come in, other times it just rings on the other end but not on the phone.
text messages bounce back and no mms receive, (i have gotten sms though)
web still works fine.
cannot enter fully airplane mode (everything turns off except signal strength)
once you try and enter airplane mode, you MUST reboot the device. (you cannot press the exit airplane mode button, as it is greyed out, and if you go into the "phone info menu" *#*#whatever... pressing the turn radio off/on button doesnt help either)
Once you reboot, the phone will be FULLY in airplane mode (at which time you can exit airplane mode and all the radios will come online.
you cannot write to (ie save to sim) or read from the sim card. (smsc refresh = refresh error) and network type changes to GSM-PRL (usually WCDMA Preferred) changing it back has no effect.
These symptoms seem to point in the direction of a sim read/write fault or a radio issue or a combination of both. but as i have noticed a number of people experiencing the same issue, i have to assume that this a defect in design or programming. i could really use some help or at least a few EDUCATED guesses. im sure that other people would appreciate it too.
p.s. replaced sim card, so thats not an issue.

Sounds like a hardware issue that won't be fixed by a rom/radio update if it was doing it stock.
is this a known issue with this phone or manufature since i see a lot of people having the same problem
My replacement phone (#2) gets the quality force close when I make calls...this phone is a fail.
Has anyone come up with a solution here? I have the same restarting issue on stock and 7.02. I've tried different radios and sim cards...
Thanks!

Hardware or software problem?

Hi there,
I have a GSM hero and rooted it right from when I purchased it. I've since installed dozens of ROMS, one thing that always seems to happen though is the phone ignores some incoming calls, regardless of radio image. I will be in full signal, and hear a voicemail notification but the phone won't ring. If I call myself from a different phone sometimes it goes right to voicemail.
When the phone is not in standby mode it always rings, it just seems when the screen turns off it doesn't listen to the cell towers as much as it should.
Sometimes people have to call three or four times until the phone will actually ring.
It seems older roms (2.1) don't do this as much, but it still happens.
If it's a software problem, is there a bigger reset than the wipe all in recovery to try to remove this problem? I usually just do wipe all including dalvik and install a new image.
If it's a hardware problem, any way I can make the phone appear not rooted for warrenty (No Telus RUU's exist publically, and I wasn't smart enough to make a nandroid way back then)
Any help or advice is appreciated.
It sounds like a radio problem - hardware, but I'm not an expert. Best would be to put a 2.1 Stock ROM on it with all your carriers crap and remove apps such as Superuser etc. and just hope they don't notice.
try upgrading your htc hero's radio with the newest one out now..
had same issue and new radio happends to be the solution

[Q] Can sporadic missed calls be caused by the rom or only the radio?

I am missing calls sporadically on my powerwashed Froyo rom. I have tried flashing different radios (ec09, eh03) and am still having issues. The calls never make it to my phone or my call history. My only indication that I missed a call is the voicemail notification if the caller left a voicemail.
I have missed several important calls and am very frustrated. Can this be a problem with the rom itself, or is this kind of problem only caused by a radio? I need a rock-solid fix ASAP, whether that is yet another radio, or a different rom+radio completely. I don't even care what version of Android it is at this point. If donut works best, I'll do it! I just need a phone that receives 100% of calls.
Any suggestions?
I believe that is a rom issue. Have you tried any of the EH03 based roms? I've always ran MTD roms (CM7/MIUI/ICS) on this phone and have never missed a call, unintentionally at least.

the missed call issue was kernel related...i say tou should upgrade to atleast a eh03 rom or preferably a ICS rom/kernel.
My fascinate seems to miss calls no matter what combination of things I try, even stock OTA. I've experienced this problem with all of my Verizon phones, but not to the degree my fascinate does. At this point I've just learned to live with. Most people know to text me or call more than once, since I always have my voice mail disabled.

Call app occasionally force closes when I answer a call.

It gives a force close message as I answer a call, but the button light keeps going off, as if it's still ringing. Then the radio seems to restart as well, and I have to wait a minute for it to reconnect to the service provider before being able to receive/make another call.
I'm running CM7 RC2 with the latest available version of the radio flashed.
Sounds like you may want to due a full wipe and reflash. I'm also on RC2 and have never experienced that.
Thanks for the suggestion.
I'm wondering if anyone has an idea for a specific thing I could try before doing a full wipe..
