I have a Cingular 8525, running the factory rom with WM5. During the last couple of days it's said it has had service, and then when I try to make a call it goes "doo dooo doooo" and doesn't connect. It hasn't synched for e-mail when I have active push enabled either, even when I click send recieve, and it has been able to intermittently recieve text messages. It rings when you're calling (instead of going to voicemail) but the device itself doesn't ring, or show any missed calls....
I've restarted it a bunch, and I've pulled the sim and put it back in with no luck....
Cingular told me they would let me get a refurb for free or I can upgrade to a tilt for $400 dollars (after I spent 300 on this one 4 months ago).
*bump*
Anyone???
=(
Hi all,
I've searched but not found this problem posted elsewhere, sorry if it has.
My HD2 on O2 has started sometimes sending incoming call straight to "voicemail" or "unavailable" when there's a perfectly good signal available.
There's no sign that there's an incoming call, the first thing I know is when I get a txt from O2 notifying a voicemail.
My settings are:
"Forward all incoming phone calls" - unticked
"Forward phone calls only if":
No answer (voicemail number)
"Forward after" - 30 seconds
Unavailable (Network unavailable number)
Busy - Unticked
Last night my GF tried to call the phone from next to me on the sofa, my phone was in use with the "Home" tab showing, full HSDPA signal, it didn't ring and went straight to "unavailable".
I called her back, no problem, and then my phone rang the next time she called me.
The same thing has happened tonight, someone called and was directed to voicemail, the phone was right in front of me with a good 3G/HSDPA signal.
Once again, after I made an outgoing call the phone then rang for a new incoming call.
This smells like a similar problem to the "Has my HD2 died or not" thread
Anyone else had this problem?
ROM HTC1.66.405.2 WWE
RADIO 2.06.51.07
I"ve got the same problem here.. does anyone have any suggestions to a possible fix?
Im got the same radio and rom version as well but have also tried cooked roms too.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Mine does the same
Still stock rom from vodafone nl
Rom 1.72.172.0
Radio 2.07.51.22_2
My first port of call would be the telecoms company - to make sure that they haven't messed up your settings.
Personally I called my phone provider (T-Mobile UK) and got them to stop diverting calls to the answer-phone. Calling the answer-phone was outwith my contract 'free minutes'. Since I knew who had called me (by the missed calls) it was easier to call them back at a time I wanted or ignore them.
hi,
I have a intermittent problem with incoming calls.
I takes my son a least 3 times to get though.
Its either engaged
rings twice and goes to answer phone
rings once then enaged
or says 'this number is unavailable'
I'm with virgin,
phoned them numerous times and they have altered the voice mail ring times and things, then decided it was the sim card.
New sim card came but was exactly the same, so more codes entered for virgin, then decide it was the phone.
Phone came back after 2 weeks saying its fix and updated but was exactly the same.
Phoned virgin again they said its not the phone or the network? so I dont know what to do.
While my phone was away being "repaired" I bought a cheap £15 phone from tesco and put my sim in it and it worked fine. Maybe its because its a simpler technology.
Any help would be appreciated
Is anyone using Red Pocket CDMA? Will I have to contact Red Pocket for CDMA_LESS to have text messaging working? My 6t arrives today and I am beginning to wonder if it will even work with Red Pocket CDMA. I was going to put my activated sim from my axon7 into the 6twhen I get it and hope it works.
So I got the phone today. Data works but can't make or recevive calls/text. Waiting to see if Red Pocket can do anything.

You may need to program in the APN settings for texting and calls. I am unfamiliar with Red Pocket, but searched the APN settings for them:

Hopefully this helps
Edit: I believe CDMA APN settngs are at the bottom of that link.

Thanks. The sim card needed to be replaced. Something about it locked to 3g or a 3g only card. It's all working now except for receiving sms messages. Redpocket has a ticket open to see if they can find a way to add CDMA_less provisioning.

Does Red Pocket use Verizon towers? If so theres been a few articles about a temp fix:
https://piunikaweb.com/2018/11/06/o...ng-issues-receiving-sms-mms-but-theres-a-fix/
Were you able to get the 6T to work completely with red pocket?
I'm attempting to use redpocket (CDMA/Verizon) as well. Sim card is activated and I get data service, but no voice or text. It won't let me change my APN settings. I guess I'll need to call them and get a new sim card like was mentioned earlier in the thread.
The op has the correct CDMA bands for VZW, but unfortunately they are not active. This is a shame as where I work sometimes, CDMA is only available. Not sure why the f CDMA is not active.
So I had the issue with no calls/texts, but data was working on redpocket (verizon version). I called their customer service and told them my symptoms and they got calls and outgoing texts working almost immediately without a new sim card. Apparently we can't update the APN settings because they're automatically fixed on the 6t. Incoming SMS still doesn't work. I asked about CDMA_Less setting, and got a hard "no". Who knows if that's the truth, but the tech I was talking to said it wasn't possible even after consulting his IT guy.
Good news! I was able to get Red Pocket to add the CDMA_LESS feature and now my phone is running smooth as butter! I had some issues so I will explain how I overcame those!
First I couldn't activate my voicemail. By activating this you are activating your phone pretty much. Every time I went to select 1 for English as my language it said I submitted an invalid choice. So I threw my sim in an unlocked iPhone SE and activated the voicemail. I then threw the sim back in my 6t and was able to do everything except receive texts.
So then I contacted Red Pocket. I wasn't expecting much but I let them know clearly that I could do everything except receive texts. I said I just needed the CDMA_LESS feature added. She said my iPhone SE was showing as active so she updated my IMEI on my account and then added the feature. So after restarting my device all is up and running!

Nice! I gave up 5 months ago trying to get the CDMA_LESS added by Red Pocket & switched to their 'AT&T' sim. Not as good as the VZW service, but at least I got texts. Maybe I'll try & switch back...
Thanks for letting us know its possible. Question When you activated the sim on the verison unlocked iphone. Did you enter the activation info again about sim and IMEI of the iphone. Or did you just pop in the sim and made the setup 1st call.
I just tried with a pixel 3 unlocked and I still cant get past activating the sim when I press 1 for English.
So any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'd like to know the answer. Failed to activate with a Oneplus 6T after 20 chats with CS. They said they activated cdma less but I still can't press 1 to activate. I also tried with my friend's iphone and it didn't work either. I now wonder if I need the cdma less deactivated to succeed activate with an iphone...
I never tested the phone out when I first got it, but I checked to see if it was unlocked by putting in a new sim card. Seemed to be unlocked. I did the "root" method on here to flash back to an older OS which worked for what I needed it to do. But ever since I got the phone, calls are constantly missed (I can use another phone to call this mobile and the mobile won't ring, it'll go to voicemail), my calls are constantly dropped, I rarely can call out, if I am able to call out the other person might not be able to hear me. The only thing that works well is the texting. I use Ting as my provider and have spoken to them many times because the original problem was that I couldn't access my voicemail and it kept giving me a mmi error. They gave me the voicemail number to directly call which I've been doing to get around the error of using the built in voicemail system. They've stated verizon phones aren't the most compatible with their system and they suggested maybe the sim card isn't functioning properly. I've spoken with their customer service at least four times over the last 8 months but these problem never really went away.
Anyone have any idea what I can do? I need a reliable phone now for phone calls. Should I try flashing back to stock 6.0? Or do you think it has nothing to do with what I did to get the "root" on it? This is the guide I followed:
