remove dropped call notification

When my signal fades, I get a beep and then an annoying message saying the signal faded and the call was lost. Not once did I not know that the call was lost. The beep doesn't bother me, and I saw how to get rid of the sound. However, I haven't been able to figure out how to get rid of the message. I hate dismissing messages that I don't want in the first place.
Anybody know how to do this?

ive never heard of this. maybe its time to get on a network that doesnt drop calls haha
the only thing i could think of would be to check your notifications settings and see if there is one in there

when you find out let me know because it is annoying

I work in the largest brick building in the district of columbia metropolitan area (so I've been told). 15 stories, and pretty wide. I don't think any network gets through all the concrete. So of course I can't resist calling my wife as I walk from one part of the building to the other. Unfortunately, I don't know exactly which areas are safe to walk and talk, hence the lost signal.

Yes, the notification settings. I wish I thought of that. Oh, wait a minute. I did think of that. I also thought about the phone settings. And searching for it. I thought I would try that too before starting the thread.
Today I thought about searching through the registry for "phone", and came across an interesting setting: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services\PhoneExt\ ShowSignalFade = dword:00000001
I thought I would switch it to zero. I just walked around my building and lost a call. I got the beeping, but no notification. I think this may be the answer.

Suggesting that I change networks is not helpful. As far as the sarcasm, I apologize for any ill feelings. I was kinda put off with network comment. In any case, I think my previous post indidcates a fix, at least in my case.

HD2 crashes when adjusting in call volume

Hi all.
Im having a bit of a problem with my HD2. Whenever im in a call if i adjust the volume the earpiece goes dead, starts making a quiet buzzing noise and cuts the other person off. If you want to call the person back the phone wont let you back into the phone menu, and starts to act all strange and slow and you have to pull the battery off. I have been searching the forums for a solution but i havent found one yet. I have even flashed 3 different Roms to see if that fixes the problems but no.
Please HELP!!!
Adam.

i had exactly same problem, so tried another rom. and everything ok. but i did do a task 29 first.....try doing that then re-flashing your rom.

Don't forget to change radio to a compatible one with the rom.

Cheers you guys. At least im not the only one who has had this problem Phew. I will try what you both have said and see if it solves the problems! Thanks again.

YAY Fixed. Cheers you guys for all your help!!
Adam

please specify what solved the problem for you so that other people going through the forum and its threads can get some idea and so that this thread gets meaningful "closure".
lets try to avoid using the forum as personal tech support, and instead add information where necessary so that it can truly be the knowledge base it aims to be.

Don't get any info
Fido. I don't get any info from this thread. This user has opened up a thread and after some time he is saying that Ok my problem solved. What this thread can give others in terms of knowledge and info - Nothing but time waste.

[Q] Echo Problem, Please help before I decide dump my Eris

I've had this horrible Echo ever since I rooted my phone (4 months or so). I don't hear it but people on the other end hear themselves. I've searched and the only thing I've seen suggested is turning the in-call volume down and that doesn't help either. I've tried several different roms and nothing.
I don't believe I had this problem until I rooted. If the only way to fix the echo is to un-root I'll just get a different phone. It's too boring without root.
Thanks for the help,

did you try *228?

Can you let us know what ROM/version your running? I know that this problem was much more pervasive across the 2.1 ROM's that folks first rooted too. After going to the 2.2 roms..myself and my family have had no real issues with it. I will say that if you go into an area with 1x coverage vs 3G, I have seen it pop back up but I chalk that up to a coverage issue.

Right now im running Vanilla Tazz 26 but this has been going on with multiple roms, including kaosfroyo V39.
I haven't been able to perform *228 since I've rooted. It never gives me a dial pad when I dial *228. I've always chocked this up to being rooted. Should I be able to perform *228 as I did without root?
I know these are nOOb questions, I really appreciate the help.

Yeah you can still *228. The dialpad is an option when you push menu inside of a call.

I've always tried pressing menu when I've dialed *228 in the past and nothing. This time I held menu and up comes the keyboard. I was able to update my roaming. I'll see if that fixed the problem. I'm keeping my figures crossed.
Thanks again, I really appreciate it!

Still have the echo. Any other ideas?
Thanks,

i have had to flash a different radio in the past to get rid of an echo. i was running the july radio and had to get the older hero radio posted in the "all radio" thread. be careful when flashing radios, charge fully, etc. also, please post in q&a section next time since your post is not about developing. thanks! hope this helps.

Signal disappears completely

I was just curious to see if anyone else was having this problem. I have searched and found no threads that were describing exactly what was happening to me. My signal just drops out completely and doesn't come back for a full 5 minutes sometimes. I'm pretty sure it's not the root doing it either, because it was happening before I rooted it. I figured the root would solve it, but it hasn't. If anyone has any ideas, please share. I'm going to try a different radio right now and I'll share with you the results, but ideas are still appreciated.

Definitely your radio. Flash the latest radio and see if that improves it.

I tried a new radio yesterday, for pretty much all day. It didn't solve the problem, but I'm going to try all the radios I can. If anybody else has another suggestion besides radios let me know please.

Okay, sorry it took me so long to respond. I have tried almost all the radios and none of them have solved this problem. I know it's not a T-mobile issue either because I get great service at my house with every other phone except this one. It's looking like a hardware issue, but I was wondering if anybody had any input on it.

I would send it back to tmobile, tell them about it and send her back, you might want to remove soff though

Its not new and I didn't buy it from T-mobile. I guess I can try sending it back to HTC though. I did call them and see if it was still under the 1 year. Thankfully the previous owner didn't register it. It's now registered under my name and I have a backup phone, so I guess I will do that. The charger port is loose and needs to be fixed anyway. Thank you everyone for your input.

[Q] 3g issues on flashed evo 4g (boost)

blah...okay so I got my flashed evo (to boost) about a week ago...
i activated it...all that jazz and everything seemed okay. Then I noticed that my signal was HORRIBLE. if the 3g was there, it was greyed out and so were the bars.
so for a few days I went around thinking it needed to be reflashed and was all worried and mad and then yesterday at the doctor i noticed I had PERFECT signal. texts came and went like nobodys business...internet worked great.
the thing is, i have great boost and sprint signal at home. Other people with boost, sprint and virgin mobile all get great service here.
So...I have updated prl, and profile god knows how many times in hopes that it would help. I did it yesterday at the doctors office thinking maybe when i got home id stay connected or something.
I changed my evdo to cdma hda only and that helped tremendously. but it wont stay. it goes back to auto all the time. I did some other changes but i dont want to get in trouble for posting them here so if you want some more info, PM me.
I cant have a non-working phone. but I am in a dilemma because the guy that flashed it is a complete douche. complete. he told me i was looking too hard into the problem and the phone just needed to be reflashed. I told him I thought maybe a bit of the antenna we being weird or broken and he said theres no way (im not an idiot) I have been searching and searching, along with my husband for a week now...I keep finding bits and pieces of people with SIMILAR problems but i cant find the exact one. Which is why I am posting this. I have contacted many other flashers and have heard lots of different things. But i really do think that its just a small fix that I can do if someone knows the issue i am having.
So if someone would like to help me...that would be super awesome and wonderful of you.
I realize I do not have much knowledge but I have been reading for so long and not finding an answer that I thought it would be alright to ask and not get people all irritated on the forum.
Thank you all,
ashley
EDIT: just figured out that my phone isnt rooted....at least as far as i can tell. I downloaded terminal emulator and typed su by the $ and it didnt # just did another $. I also tried to use the MSL reader app (first to see if 000000 was really a good password for ##3282#....) and it asked if i was sure my phone was rooted...and that made me check with the TE...so....does this pose problems when it comes to 3g not working well? or would rooting it make it easier to fix?
