Hi all.
I have noticed earlier that if I have missed a call, any following calls after that are being forwarded straight to voicemail, the phone reporting as "unavailable".
Going into and out of "Aeroplane" mode sometimes clears the problem straight away (it takes a few attempts at times) but it starts again after the next missed call !
Outgoing calls, internet, Gmail & sms are all working fine as far as I can tell.
The only things I have done very recently were a Titanium back-up & Nandroid back-up.
I have tried the sim card in an old Sony Ericsson and there are no problems to report there.
I am on the Giffgaff network(UK) and running Ginger SF r4.
Was tempted to post this in the "Blade Android Development" Ginger SF r4 thread but can't do as I haven't got enough posts under my belt (I haven't had any major issues until now !)
Thanks in advance for any pointers.
I think its something to do with your network provider,giffgaff. I may be wrong though as i don't use voicemail.

I tried the sim again on an other mobile, it works fine and the calls forwarding checks out ok so I doubt it's to do with the network provider. Puzzling !
Update; Ended-up restoring from the nandroid back-up and it seems fine...for now ! Still puzzled as to what went wrong !

I'm not sure if this is the Niki itself, or just my provider, but it's not rare that I have to restart it to receive SMS, or calls, it could be either/or.
I'm using N Telenor (Norway).
Anyone have any similar experiences, or ideas on how to fix it?
I have to say, so far it is a very stable phone.
no reported missed calls or sms!
I had the same problem with a HTC Mteor, but on the N NetCom network.
At the time I eventually concluded that it had to do with bad network coverage/signal strength.
A change of ROM to a later version helped a bit.
Setting network to auto (so that it changed between 3g and gsm) helped, but battery life suffered... still, it is better to recharge more often, than not getting any calls..
I have not had this problem with the Niki... (yet)

Hey, im failty new to the rooting scene, im usually happy with what comes out of the box but i decided to give this a try.
Everything went fairly well, had a few hiccups but in the end i got Modaco 2.9 on my Telus Hero. The only thing that doesnt work is SMS.. i can't send them and i can't receive them.
I double checked my APN settings and everything is fine, can anyone help me out?
Did you update to the latest radio?
yeah
update-hero-radio-63.18.55.06IU_6.35.08.22-signed
can you make calls? sms are not connected to the apn settings or something that has to do with internet or data network at all. sms are sent in the signaling with the network, the only thing that has to be set right is the smsc address. did you check that?
yeah i can make and receive calls, i can even do the 611 to contact telus
i checked the service number, its there. Im going to call Telus and ask them to push my config on my phone again.. i had to do it yesterday because my internet wasn't working on my phone.
Hope it works
Update: Called Telus, basically i can send txts but cannot receive them, according to the SMS server, it reaches my phone but isn't notifying me i guess..
i tried, re-wiping and re-installed rom and radio and still nothing.. everything else works great.
EDIT: oops sorry for double post, firefox crashed for some reason :S
The other day one of my friends told me that when he rings my phone lately (since I've started using Android) it always diverts to my voicemail. I did a bit of testing, and figured out that is seems to be happening when 2G/3G data connection is active. Has anyone else had this problem, and can a few people test this out?
I've tested this with 2 radios:
Leo_RADIO_2.12.50.02_2
Leo_RADIO_2.07.51.22_2
and 2 android builds:
30.08.2010¦ ?shubCRAFT 1.5?CM6 Final?¦ ?Kernel: ElBartoME 2.6.32.9 #1? ¦
New Nexus One Android 2.2 Build FRG33 [ mccm v1](5.9.2010)
I have tested on WM and this problem isn't happening there. I am on O2 UK Post Pay.
I have this problem and it happens when my phone is sending/receiving data, not when the data connection is idle. It happens on WM, Android, and on my iPhone too. My provider says this is normal and nothing can be done.
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App
Switching from 2.12 radio to 2.10 in my sig helped this a lot.
Sent from my HD2 mattc froyosense using XDA App
I gave 2.10 a go, but it seemed to make little difference for me.
I had the same problem with the 2.12 radio. I wouldn't get any calls from sprint users.
This is normal with GPRS aka 2G. It's like you go online with a modem and a phone line in the old days (dial-up). Even when you are trying to send a txt, and a call come in at the same time, the text sending will fail. This is very annoying.
not sure about 3G tho, some say that the 3G can handle data and calls at the same time.
I get this too, Plus when i recieve a call i cannot hear the caller for 10 seconds or so ? but the caller can hear me straight away ?
I did post this in the HD2 general thread but got no responce...
Have changed sim card as i was told this could be the issue but no luck also tried various radios/Builds inc android again with no luck..
Looks like were gonna have to live with it

GPRS/Edge does not necessarily allow simultaneous voice
Well I had no idea. I thought that one of the main advantages of GRPS/Edge was simultaneous voice and data, but I guess not. Apparently it is dependent one the cellular network configuration/capacity.
Here's an MSDN article related to it (not that I consider MS a reliable source of anything, but worth a read )
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb416348.aspx
I had this exact problem. For me it started after using android on my HD2 then whenever i had my phone on UMTS i could call it with another phone and 4 times oout of 5 i would ring all the way to voicemail and never notify me. I first thought it was ATT but i tested my sibling's phone and it was fine, i even switched SIM cards. the problem seems to have gone away with my HD2 after two weeks however I ended up ordering a telus desire with ATT bands. Although now my HD2 reboots in android randomly whenever using UMTS data.

This is what I get as well, except the caller doesn’t hear me for 5 secs or so. I end having to say “hello” 3 times before they can actually hear anything and by that time they usually hang up. I’ve had this problem with WinMo as well, using Telstra on Rogers. It’s kind of annoying since I end up having to use daytime minutes to call them right back.
I found that some x.51.xx radios helped but Android as far as I know is only compatible with x.50.xx radios. So hopefully a new radio will help with this though I’m not really counting on it.
I thought I was going mad
I have the same problem but only just found out. I use my Google navigation a lot, but just discovered when I do that incoming calls are routed to voicemail. I have tried 3 different Radio's from the recommended Leo_RADIO_2.15.50.14 down to 12 and even 08 nothing seems to work.
I have also tried different ROM's from HD Desire to Gingerbread, again no difference.
Not sure if the problem existed on the SD ROM's but it is sertantly an issue on the NAND ROM's.
I am using RMNET as this is the only one that seems stable on O2 in the UK.
This problem is driving me crazy.
Someone else please HELP!!!!
My SIM unlocked Defy has been sitting unused on the shelf for several months - I did plan to sell it after upgrading to an Atrix, but never quite found the time to sort it out.
I've now decided to pass the Defy on to my girlfriend as a Christmas present (yeah, I'm a tightwad ), but have not been able to get it to work correctly.
The problem is this. The Defy will not connect to the network to send or receive calls or SMS messages. However, the phone can connect to data services via 3G (even though, on my Giffgaff SIM, it gives some sort of error message saying connection will not be possible, before accessing the internet without problems!).
I've tried:
Multiple Basebands - including the various ones I used previously without any problems.
Multiple ROMs - CM7, MIUI, WajkIUI installed via CWM and a couple of Froyo SBFs installed using RSD. All these ROMs show the same characteristics - no calls or SMS but Data connections work.
Multiple SIMs on different networks. The Defy was originally a T-Mobile device but I unlocked this using a code from one of the Unlock sites and used it with an Orange SIM then my Giffgaff SIM with no problems. Now, the very same Giffgaff SIM shows the call/SMS problem. My girlfriend's T-Mobile SIM appears to be recognised normally and the network seems to be working but all calls and SMS messages fail instantly.
Multiple Wipes/Resets using both CWM and the stock recovery. None has resolved the problem.
A quick Google found the following link:
http://thewichitacomputerguy.com/blog/how-i-fixed-your-sim-card-does-not-allow-connection-network-g1
Unfortunately, I've tried everything recommended on that page without success.
Anybody have experience of this problems on their Defy and, if so, can anybody tell me how I can fix it?
I promised my girlfriend a phone so, if I can't get this Defy working properly, it's going to cost me a few quid so I would appreciate any assistance!
I've since discovered that my problematic Defy appears to have been blacklisted, almost certainly by accident by those wonderfully incompetent folks at Orange. Here's more information on a problem which has occurred with quite a few people here in the UK following the merger of the Orange/t-mobile networks in mid-December:
http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.php?t=3677593
I bought the phone on eBay from a seller and used it for around six months without any problems so I think it incredibly unlikely that the blacklisting is valid - I mean, who would report a phone as stolen around 8 months after it was taken?!?
Just waiting to hear back from the eBay seller to see if he can provide me with his original proof of purchase for the phone so I can get the blacklisting lifted. I don't rate my chances all that highly.
Hi all. sorry to revive a few month old thread, but at least I'm not creating a whole new one!
I have a Motorola Defy. Generally I'm pretty geeky, but I decided to root it at install ICS 4.0.4... it all went well... eventually. However I have no conectivity to my network. It will not send or receive texts calls or data to the network. Wifi does work still.
Honestly I'm done screwing around with it. I just want to restore it back to original factory settings and admit defeat. Where can I find the original firmware that will work In canada on the Telus network? This is my only phone, I have no other cell and no landline so I'm kinda in a pickle and would appreciate anything you could do to help me get up and running again.
If there is any more info you need just ask, I'll try to get it for you.
Try it with this baseband switcher. Maybe it will help you.
Thanks! I actually just saw your post, but I figured that out all by myself! It did work though! I appreciate the reply!
ok new problem... everytime I shut off my phone it reverts back to the wrong baseband. any idea on how to keep it on the new one? every time i reboot I have to swithc baseband then do a restart. it them switches and works perfect. If i shut the phone off it reverts and I have to go over it all over again.
Try to convert defy baseband switcher to a system app with Titanium backup.

Thanks Vicsa! Used Apps2ROM (ROOT) instead because I'm cheap, but had the same effect. You sir are awesome!
And now that my phone is working again perfect I'll be leaving the F***ing thing alone now unless i'm absolutely 100% sure what I'm doing. Generally I have no issue doing things like this to computers, but it would seem that phones are a whole new breed... Anyways THANK-YOU!!!!
You're welcome mate. Glad I could help you
I installing CM7.2 and SMS no longer works.
I have tried,
installing new SMS program.
Going threw settings but cant see anything out of the ordinary.
Changing the SMSC to the one for my carrier both in normal format and in PDU format
rebooting after every change
going on telstra website and asking to be sent the settings
Oh re changing the settings in baseband switcher
Nothing works, Is it as simple as something is disabled?
I wish I could find a rom that would work without crashing or things not working!
I had problem connecting to Telstra 3G (see: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1634366#). But works fine on 2G. Is this similar to you?
connects to 3g fine. Just wont send SMS messages. It hasnt sent one all day but I made plenty of calls and been on the net. Whiterabbit I had a little trouble with network not connecting when I disable juice defender but could call and send SMS.
Looks like its back to ICS again! I dont use the camera at all so thats the only problem I come across.
ok wont work on CM9 as well what the hell is going on? the SMSC is right so it cant be that!
Maybe telstra SMS service is down?
Ok put my sim card into my old sony ericsson cedar and it wont send.
Should of done that first now I flashed a ROM for no reason

：D Very good
Ok I rang telstra and they reset the account all is working again. The service people dont have a clue. They didnt even know how to get into change the SMSC number, Lucky I did if I didnt there would be no way I would find it. It was right anyway and they gave me the +61 number that doesnt work on androids lol no clue at all.
Now I have reinstalled CM7.2 again! telstra are a pain in the arse.
