Miss phone calls and no voicemail notification.

I have used various of customized wizard roms and have been pretty ignorant to the missed phone calls and no voicemail notification problem until recent(about 2 weeks ago) when I suddenly received a notification of 22 missed calls and 15 unheard voice messages. I think this is a fundamantle problem to any phone/ROM so we really need to get to the bottom of this. Does any one out there also have this problem? Please share your carrier and settings. Or better yet, please throw in a couple of ideas.
I have CINGULAR 8125 G3 and use CINGULAR as my carrier.
Here is my sympton:
1. intermittently miss phone calls, with no notification (missed call; voice mail) afterward. It might be related to intensively use some application like PIE or total-commander but I don't have solid data point to prove that. To proved it will need a pretty exhaustive testing being performed.
2. sometimes when trying to make calls, the sound quality was really bad and the call was dropped very shortly after making connection. However after a soft reset of the phone I could call out again with decent connection quality. Again this is really intermittent and not easily reproduced. However I suspect when the phone could not call out it probably couldn't receive calls either. So this issue could be related to the first issue.
First question is: Is this due to the new AKU3.2 rom? I am not sure about this because for once or twice with my phone flashed with 2.26 rom I still experience the problem that the phone couldn't call out until soft reset.
My other suspect is the omapclock overclocking. Because if the CPU being overclocked, maybe the cpu core that is in charge of the phone operation will get overclocked it cannot work properly when overclocked?
As you can see I am only shooting in the dark. Therefor any ideas will be welcomed/appreciated.

I read a lot about people missing phone calls and such when using the AKU 3.2 rom which is why I won't touch those roms anymore. There were even more problems with those roms on cingular, such as not being able to hang up without resetting the phone. You might want to do a quick search or scan thru the AKU 3.2 threads and take a look.

OK. Let me change to a different question: does any one has the same issue with a AKU2.x ROM? I am asking this because I am not sure if this is a AKU3 ROM problem.
How do I make a fancy poll in the beginning of this thread?

Same as above. You'll get a lot more out of reading the AKU 2 threads that are already have (and have been for some time) than by starting yet another poll few will answer. I've not heard of such a problem, nor have I ever experienced it. The AKU 2.3 roms seem pretty stable these days. I think, for the most part, this is a great example of "newer isn't always better".

Thank you Mark for sharing your thoughts and your experience. Which carrier and phone are you using? I have noticed that the cituation varies among different carriers also.
I have been using my cingular phone with both AKU3.2 and AKU2.26 and I have had at least 1 incident of phone not able to establish a steady call until a soft reset. And that's why I am trying to gather other people's data point.

Well I have the same problem with the following configuration:
MDA Vario - T-Mobile, Netherlands
IPL 2.26
SPL 2.26
Radio 2.47.11
OS 2.26.10.2 (AKU 2.3 based)
The problem of the missed calls came to my attention (via my girlfriend) when I was running a AKU2.3 based rom. At this moment I am still running the same ROM and frequently have this problem.
Hopefully this data will help analyse the problem. If I can help in any way, please let me know.

well i noticed an odd one with my kjam when i received it back from repair, it was using the latest imate rom which ever that was and it wasnt giving me the voicemail notification... it was just messaging telling me i have a sms waiting for me but i cannot download it because my phone is apparently full.. kept getting that all day, even though i deleted all of the 10 sms i had in there.
turns out it was a voicemail message. :|

There is a topic that makes clear that this happens on the dutch T-Mobile network too. I downgraded my radio rom to the original 2.19.11 and it solved my problem.
You can try disabeling the USSD service as it seems to help some people on Faria's 3.2 rom.

I have a suspect that overclocking of the CPU using OMAPCLOCK might be related to this problem. The problem to verify this is that I need a sequence with which I can constantly reproduce the miss call problem. Then I can perform further test with different combination of ROMs, applications, CPU speed configuration etc. I will definitely keep reporting my progress. Does any one have any suggestions/ideas?

Here is the testing schem I have designed:
I asked my wife and my son to call my CELL every 30min-1hr, leave voice message if they were redirected to the answer service. Then I can have a record and a clear indication on how many calls I have missed. Here is the current configuration I am using:
Cingular Plan with GPRS data package.
Molski AKU2.26 release ROM
2.47.11 Radio
No overclocking(195MHZ for 8125)
I will get a call hit/miss ratio after a day or two. Then I will switch to different setup(CPU Clock, AKU, Radio ROM etc.). Hopefully I can determine which is the determining factor in causing this missing call issue.
If you are interested in this test. Please join me and feel free to define your test scheme so we can have a broader test coverage. If eventually this turns out to be a Carrier problem, then we would have more data point to push the carriers to fix this.
Your participation would be greatly appreciated.

USA Cingular missed call possible solution
Like many USA Cingular customers with Faria's excellent 3.2 rom I started to miss calls and voicemail alerts. I would miss calls in places with great reception for no apparent reason, not just in places with spotty reception. I think I may have a solution to the problem.
Cingular has been giving customers a new 64k orange colored sim card to replace the older 32k black colored sims. I went to cingular to get my new card and I also received horrible reception at my house. After replacing the card several times the reception did not get any better.
I was able to speak with one of the upper level techs, and here is what was explained to me:
Cingular is in the process of combining all of it's network with the former AT&T network here in the US. Cingular has 2 networks each color coded "Orange" and "Blue". Cingular Orange is the original Cingular network from the time when SBC and BellSouth merged their wireless units. Cingular Blue is everything that Cingular got through the AT&T merger in 2003. This includes all AT&T Wireless GSM 850/1900 licenses, markets and network assets (i.e. towers etc). When I changed my sim, I also changed my primary network from Orange (registered on my old sim) to Blue. To remedy my spotty coverage at my house the tech switched me back to Orange.
Ever since I've been back on the Orange network I have not missed a call or voicemail, and it's not because I get better reception. I have been testing for 2 weeks now, and everthing is been going great! I have had the USSD service disabled, I just started the service again and will test with USSD on auto, but I'm guessing it will work. I will report back later.
This would confirm that it is a network issue, and not an issue for all users. Give Cingular a call and ask to change to the Orange network, you can always call to change it back!

Intesesting.... In addition to the missed calls and voicemail issues, did you have the phone buttons not responding issues? For instance, with any AKU 3.2 ROM, after a day or three, when I hit the "7" key to delete a message I see the & register on the screen but the phone's not aware. Or I can't hang up the phone and either have to wait or reset ...
tia

Sorry Dr. P, but I never had any of the button press issues.

I have been having this problem for about 6 months. On top of the problems of missing calls (I can call myself and while the landline I'm calling from will ring the whole time, the cell never wakes up or rings) I'm also having problems where I sometimes can't hang up a phone call or when I press a button in the middle of a call (like punching in my VM password) it doesn't register.
I'm also on Cingular.
I'm using a K-Jam using the last K-Jam FW. The only thing I have done is added A2DP using the patch (which I have since uninstalled). I'm not overclocking
If I soft reset my device, the problem goes away.
The only thing I noticed that was odd, is it seems to only happen when I've regsitered on a tower close to my office. It never happens when I'm anyplace else. Once I register on that tower, I have problems until I soft reset my device. If I never go to work, I don't have it. Could be a coincidence but I don't know.
If it's not a carrier problem, my thought is it's a system resource problem where something is dragging the memory down or conflicting.
More info (since I'm running a clean stock ROM):
I'm not running any today plugins that aren't standard (email, tasks, calendar, etc) EXCEPT I am running the wireless hack in the registry where it shows your carrier plus wireless info. I'm also unning PHM Tray Launch and sometimes when I soft reset my device, it won't display until I come back to the Today Screen a few times.
Other than that, I don't have a lot of SW installed on my device.
Hope this helps...
-Mc

I also have the button press issues. I can try to delete a message and while I hear the DTMF, the network does not.
I'm using the standard K-Jam FW on my K-Jam. No customized ROM here with the exception I loaded the A2DP patch.
-Mc

OK, I'm confused with my SIMs.
I have 2:
1.) 64k Cingular with green back. I originally got it from when I switched from AT&T wireless, 2 years ago, January. And it worked, so I continued to use it in my new phones. (Including my Wizard.)
2.) 64k Cingular with blue back. I got this one when I got a warranty replacement phone over the summer. (Says 3G, and has a different arrangement of contacts.)
I have to assume that I skipped over these orange SIM cards that keep getting mentioned.
Any confirmation or further info?

I would say for those who are on Cingular and having problems should post up which Cingular SIM card they have... That may cut through the possibility that the SIM may be the cause of most problems.
I used an AT&T Wireless (Cingular Blue) customer who was given the white SIM card with the black text and blue logo; I used to have lots of problems with reception and dropped calls with it and it didn't matter which phone my SIM card was in. I was told that if I migrated over to Cingular (Cingular Orange) that their new 64K SIM card could resolve my reception problems...
I currently use a Cingular 64K SIM (Orange and white color with 64K text) and it has resolved issues I used to have with previous phones. My unlocked T-Mobile MDA using the Radio ROM included (I believe it's the iMate Radio ROM) with Molski's new AKU 3.2 ROM has had no problems with reception or missed calls.
For those with problems with the ROM, I would possibly try to get a hold of a Cingular Radio ROM from the FTP server. I know that when my phone still had the default T-Mobile 2.26 G3 ROM, my reception was a little bit fuzzy on calls.

Yeah, it looks like you skipped over the orange 64K SIM's and got a 3G 64K instead.

Kudos to FunkyB! I always suspected there is something fishy in the network itself. Here is my test result so far:
Molski 2.26 ROM
2.47.11 Radio
No overclocking
Received: 11 calls
Missed: 1 calls + No voice message notification
2 extra findings:
If I press "ignore" immediately after hearing the ringtone, the other end will get busy tone.
If I press "ignore" after at least 2 rings, the other end get the voice mail
Navizon doesn't work on Molski's latest 2.26 ROM! (I found out this when I am trying to run every bit of apps I could find during the testing).
So here is another factor into my testing: Cingular BLUE or Cingular Orange. Is there any easy way for me to determine my network?
PS. I concour to Mr. McHale's finding also.

My Sim Card is orange color. Is it possible that Cingular still put you on BLUE when you have a orange colored Sim? I used to be AT&T but I switched my SIM about 6 months ago.

How-to: Fix WM6 from not being able to receive calls

After working on this since day 0 when WM6 was leaked I'm happy to now provide the solution to major problem I experienced on WM6. I post what I did now at 3am in the hopes it can help others.
* PLEASE NOTE : This has not been repeated as I'm happy my WM6 Treo now receives phone calls and I'm not about to repeat the long process in a hurry just yet *
* In summary, a) unlocking Extended ROM and wiping it, then b) running the Treo 750 Recovery Tool -- seems to be the total solution.
Specs
===
Treo 750v Vodafone New Zealand running WM5 with 1.16VF (also tried another Treo with 1.15, same issue).
Updated to WM6 using AT&T ROM.
Vodafone NZ network is GSM900 with UMTS2100 and HSDPA.
Bootloader IPL/SPL 0.20 / 0.24.
Problem
===
Could not receive ANY calls. TXTs delayed. Voicemail notification delayed. Outbound calls intermittently working.
Any person calling received a "dit-dit-dit-dit---dit-dit-dit-dit" tone, the sound of a disconnected number.
The Treo did not display any notification of the new number. Really bad.. meant I couldn't use WM6.
Solution
===
Simply, remove all AT&T crap, and in fact prevent it from starting from the Extended ROM.
1. Hard reset your device, flash with WM6 from SD card. All good.
2. Unlock and unhide your Extended ROM. This is a bit of a pain and didn't seem to work at first for me. In fact, it unhide after first reset, but then if I hard resetted the Extended ROM magically came back. Follow this guy's progress: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1406616&highlight=extended+rom#post1406616 - I soft-resetted about 7x...
3. Delete files from Extended ROM (2 files). I copied them to my memory card first. You can extract them as a zip archive on your PC. Some interesting files in there. Who knows how to uncompress _PZE? (this isn't relevant to the solution btw! Just make sure you delete the files in Extended ROM).
3. I installed Total Commander *IN* the Extended ROM. Just for fun really, I thought it would be a good way of overwriting any existing files in there - as when i hard resetted earlier they came back.
4. *NOT NEEDED* [Thanks "Kaine79"]
5. Run the T750URT.exe "Treo 750 Recovery Tool" while your Treo is in bootloader. This is reallllly slow and takes a good 5 minutes plus.
6. Hard-reset. Follow wizard starting up... and hey you will notice straight away it defaults to "English (UK)" instead of "English (US)". If it does that -- you've got rid of the AT&T crap and now your phone can receive phone calls!
** PROBABLY HALF THESE STEPS ARE OBSOLETE ** I have left them all in, just so that someone else having the same issue as me, might run through and find out only 2 out of the 6 actually did anything relevant. But I don't know what those 2 are

Hi,
Thanks to your post I could fix tje problem about incomming calls !
Thank you very much !
I jumped step 4, if this could help the next one

Ok, I'm curious about something. Where are you getting the T750URT.exe file? The only place I could find it was in the official WM5 upgrade, after running it, it appears that it simply downgraded my radio firmware to an earlier version, is this the case or am I missing something blatantly obvious here?

recovery tool
I found it while browsing Palm's NZ website. It's here:
http://www.palm.com/nz/support/downloads/treo/750vupdate_recovery.html
Downgrading the radio would sound right for fixing phone call problem.
Unfortunately I find HSDPA no longer works after running the URT. It's either a) I have HSDPA or b) I receive phone calls...

Every 750v has problem with incoming calls after upgrade? Or only some of them (specified or random)? If it's because of radio, every single Treo should have this issue...

Palm Treo 750v recovery tools downgrades radio to version. 1.12.0c.00. That's all it does.

I haven't had any issues with incoming calls at all since i've upgraded to the AT&T ROM. everything's been working great except it does feel a bit laggy. i might try removing all the crap tonight

AT&T Tilt operator name not showing up

Ok I have the AT&T Tilt obviously and I have been trying to get the operator names that I entered to show up. It still says AT&T on the "Home" Tab and on the "Wirless" tab. But when I set the phone to manually let me search for a tower and it shows the networks available it shows the names I have entered into the OperatorNames folder. Also when I change AT&T(310-410) to say sucks after restart it will swith back to AT&T in the registry. I also tried changing the registry HKLM\Software\OEM\PhoneSetting ONSDisplayRule to 0,1,2,3 originally it was on 4. and still no luck. Am I missing something. And yes I am positive the registry edits are done correctly(did it on the Cingular 8125). And no the phone is not unlocked. *Update* the operator names folder was there already with the registry AT&T(310-410) if deleted it still shows AT&T and returns upon restart. Maybe somebody knows something I don't or I just happen to have a lemon.

Nobody have anything, no idea, well has anyone else had a problem when changing there operator name and it keeps coming back, that could be a start???

Sounds like ATT is your operator. I don't think you can just change that.

Not trying to switch the "Operator" from AT&T to say T-Mobile, just trying to get the Name AT&T changed to say Cingular. But each time I change the registry 310-410 from AT&T to Cingular, it only shows Cingular in the Manual Selection box, but not on the Today Screen. So what I am saying is that it does work, but does NOT show different on the Today Screen. And Resets back to AT&T in the registry on soft-reset. There must be some edit somewhere in the registry to keep it from changing names on the today screen and change back on reset. The Personalizer cab worked, but what I am really looking for is the phone to show me which network I am using and not just AT&T all the time.

What I'm saying is I don't think you can do that.

Yeah, but ATT/Cingular devices are setup to override that and show every network as ATT/Cingular. There is a setting in the phone to read the network name from the phone, or from the SIM, by default ATT phones read the network name from the SIM, and all of their SIM cards are programmed to show all networks as either ATT or Cingular for the older ones. Its not a big deal though, its just the network name. My unhacked phones all read AT&T, most of my hacked phones all read Cingular.

Maybe Jay can shine some more light on it.

Yea that makes sense I kinda wondered that. Ok then maybe you might know a little bit more why I can take that same sim card and put it in my Cingular 8125 and yes it does say Cingular for the network, but it will also show, for instance in my area, iWireless when it does roam over.

Maybe that phone isn't as locked down as the tilt???

So there probably is a way it just hasn't been found.

So does unlocking the phone change anything?? Or what about non AT&T Tilt Kaiser's do they have the same issue?? Its obviously something that AT&T installs on the setup of the device and puts some settings in the boot registry to block it. Where does the "Home" tab get the Provider Name from because I can get the "Wireless" tab to change, but am unsuccessful on the Home tab unless you use the personalizer.

SMS Center setting

how can I set SMS center in HTC diamond?
I can't send sms and it said I should set my SMS Center in setting
please help me

You should ask your operator for a new SIM card. I got the same error message and after days trying all kinds of ways, I still couldn't set the SMS center number. Then I read about others having the same problem. In all cases a new SIM card proved to be the only solution. And it also worked for me. So, good luck!

Settings>Personal>Phone>Services>Voice Mail and Text Messages...Get Settings...
You can change the Message Center number there. By default it takes the number from the SIM.

this problem only exist in this phone and my other cellphones didn't have problem with my SIM card I test it on P990 and N6681. Also I test it with 2 other oparators SIM
also when try to get Settings... it said Cannot read settings from the network. Try viewing settings later, or disconnect data connection and try again.

I finally went to the local Telfort shop, after I read about the SIM cause/solution. I showed the same error message and swapped SIM's with the girl behind the counter. Her newer SIM worked on my Diamond and my older SIM worked on her Nokia. That proved the combination of my older SIM and the Diamond was the problem. So I got a new SIM for free and now no more problems getting settings and sending SMS

I test my SIM and SMS Center setting exist in SIM card,
anyone know that this problem is related to SPL, RADIO or OS? or may be SIM Lock?
I can recieve SMS and also call with all 3 SIMs

It could be the radio version.. Apart from that I wouldn't know if it's related to anything specific in the Diamond. It looks like there's nothing wrong with my SIM unlocked Diamond and it looked like there wasn't anything wrong as such with my previous SIM, either, as I could send SMS with it on other devices.
Somehow, it's is the combination of those two together. Like you, except for getting the Voice Mail and Text Messages settings, I could receive SMS, call and get all the other network settings with the old SIM. With the new SIM, I can send SMS and get the Voice Mail and Text Messages settings.

but my problem appear after ROM upgrade, before that I used my SIM and phone for more than 2 month
also I used 2 other sims from other oparators and this operator non of them working

I know. I didn't have a problem either with my previous SIM on the stock 1.37 ROM. The problem appeared after flashing a 1.93 ROM. So if you want to keep using your current SIM's, or can't get a newer SIM, you can also flash back your previous ROM and see if that works for you..

Blueangel spv m2000 WM6 SMS Help Pls

Hi all-I have been given a Orange branded spv m2000 which has got WM6 on it.
Now Ive popped my sim card in it and it has 4 new text messages-which appear on the home screen.
However when I touch the 4 text messages and it takes me to the inbox it shows no messages there.
Does anyone have any suggestions with regards to this issue?
On the loading screen it states:
R 1.06.02
G 1337.38
D 5.60.00 WWE
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Jon

Anyone have any ideas?It appears this phone would be good to go if this function worked ok

Can you try a different SIM card? Basically those SMS are saved on your sim card. To make sure of this, you can do a soft reset on the BA.

It was a brand new sim-I can try another and see what happens

unlocked phone ?
orange sim in orange phone ?
pre / post pay ?
sim lock?
messages [mms / sms / email] ?
sync'd ?
#===#
-d.b-
#===#

orange sim in orange phone ? Yes-its branded as a orange SPV M2000
pre / post pay ? Using a pre pay sim card (Brand new-have tried another new one also)
sim lock? Locked to orange
messages [mms / sms / email] ? when you go into the mailbox there is no mms section,just sms(Showing no messages in it) and email.
But with the original sim I recieved the messages on or another new sim it still shows on the home screen 5 new messages,but has never shown them in the inbox....other than that it seems to be working fine,but as I deal with a lot of people via text it is a major issue for me.
sync'd ? I assume so...please forgive my ignorance here!
Thanks for the replies.
Jon

ok lets see...
it happens too with my bro's blue angel...
and the wrong with him was his OS it has that issue
so you need a fix for it
or try a new ROM
just read the wiki how to upgrade the BlueAngel
