[Q] Not getting calls when using 2g only - myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm new and ive been having problems with my phone. rooted(gfree) and flashed to royal ginger 2.0. i was getting miss calls but i was never getting them. they go to VM. I thought it was the ROM so i went to CM7 7.0.2. at 1st it was good but same. after playing with it i think its because i turn on 2g only to save battery. i know edge doesnt allow voice and data at the same time but it happens when its just sitting there. the only sync i have is for contacts. im guessing its running in the background and thats why im missing calls. does anyone been having this issue? thanks for any help.

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?

Missing Calls with Android??!?!

Hi everyone. Earlier this evening I installed Android 1.5 on my Vogue. Very impressed (see this post from me) but I am now becoming more then a little concerned.
I tried calling my cell from my home phone and it went straight to voice mail. My Vogue showed good reception but never registered the incoming call. Tied again… same thing. Reset my Vogue, called again and got through but it only rang audibly on the Vogue once and that after 4 rings on the other end.
I can see that like this I am going to miss a lot of calls and that would not be good at all. My phone is still primarily phone and I must be able to get calls.
Has anyone else experienced this? IS there some settings that I can adjust? Or do I need a more recent build?
Best regards,
The Fish

Try one of plemans ASOP builds. No trouble with calls going in or out at all.

[Q] Calls go straight to voice-mail

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!

[Q] Unable to make a call and several FC's?

I;m sorry if this has been discussed before but I can't seem to find an answer for it. I have an Epic and it works great except for minor problems usually resolved by looking through the forums. Although my dad has the exact same phone and I put whatever Rom I am currently using on his phone so that he can have a fantastic phone. He has had Frozen 1.1, 1.2 and Randomrom 2.2. They have all been istalled with Journaling on. The rom will work fine but then out of nowhere he will have FC's and will not be able to make phone calls but can still receive them. Any idea what is going on? We have the same phone, modem and rom but he seems to have problems. The only difference I can figure out is that he lives in an area that has NO signal for any carrier and so his phone is constantly switching back and forth from Sprint and roaming which of course drains his battery like crazy. Could that cause the phone to wig out on him no matter which software he is running. Thanks for any help provided.
Do you have an airave? If not Odin back to stock to see if it works then root and flash again.

They do not use an airwave and I have done several odin's and reflashed and still the same problem. I've tried to see if he is doing something before it happens to slueth it out but he it seems to happen at random times. It use to be just tons of FC's but figured it was due to haing journaling off so I fixed that but now he has less FC's sometimes but now with the unable to mae outgoing calls problem. I'm just frustrated because I try to help my family with their smartphones and they have nothing but problems with them but me, the one who actually plays on his phone too much, never has any seriuos problems.
It may just be the No signal area. If there is no signal it can't dial out. If there is no signal for any carrier then you can't even try Roam Control.

Sometimes I don't get calls.

Sometimes I don't get calls. Every now and then when my wife tries to call me her call doesn't show up on my phone. I have her on a custom ringtone and was wondering if this might be the problem? Right now I am on AOKP milestone 6, but I am pretty sure this is has happened on stock gingerbread as well. Any ideas?
My wife is on fascinate running rooted stock gingerbread if that makes any difference.

When you said you don't get calls, means in your wife side she's connected? or busy?
back then i have a similar problem, if my phone idle for sometimes, when someone want to call me they can't. busy tone on my side.but i still can surf the internet. if somehow i make a call or miscall or do an sms (my point is you make an outgoing connection), after that i can received incoming calls for some times and text to. let say that you have to trick the signal, OR the signal stuck in 3g mode (my assumption).
or maybe you can ask the provider . i believe its not the rom problem
what is your radio version? if you never updated past ED05 it that may be where the problem lies.
EH03...this hasn't really happened in a while and I am thinking it might have been something to do with Google Voice. I disconnected G-voice and am trying carrier vm instead to see if that solves it.
