[Q] Incoming call problems? - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

When I have a call coming in my phone will ring for about a second, then a window will pop up and disappear before i can read what it says, I then lose service and the call drops. I don't get a notification for a missed call or anything, but the phone making the call continues to ring, then goes to voicemail. I'm running Phoenix 4.1 with speedmod. Any help is appreciated, thanks.

What modem are u using? Did you flash to stock before going to phoenix? Master clear? U could try to flash a different modem. You may have a bad flash. I am running phoenix 4.1 also and my calls are fine.

[Q] Unable to Accept voice calls

Flashed Cognition 3.04 over the weekend. Love it!
Just one problem, any time I get an incoming call, the phone will ring and then the app will crash. Users go to 3rd party voicemail, so I can get messages. I can dial out without a problem.
SMS and other data seems to work fine.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I'm on ATT in the US.
Well, I just saw this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=926513
I did a search - didn't see that.
Looks like I'm reflashing.
I think I know the answer, but I'll ask anyway...do I really need to go back to stock, root and reflash, or can I just reflash since I'm flashing the same ROM?
Reflashed Cognition and everything is golden.

emergency calls fail

Let me prefix my post with: please don't call 911 just to "test" your phone if this post title has worried you. There is no reason to believe you have a 911 calling problem (more explained below) and you will take up valuable resources from others who actually have an emergency and need immediate help.
I am the owner of a Samsung SGH-i896 Captivate. Today I had to call 911. The call failed. It acted like it was placing the call to 911, it said "Emergency number" on the screen as it acted like it was dialing, and then in half a second the call failed. Other calls worked fine. I had service. Thankfully I was able to use the phone of a friend that was with me to successfully dial 911.
I know this is really really horrible, especially since my little warning at the top of this thread... but when I came home I removed the SIM from my phone and tried to dial 911 to see if it would ring. It didn't work. The lock screen says "No SIM card." and "Emergency calls only". The phone shows full reception bars. When I dial 911 the screen flashes "Out of service area" at the top with a phone picture underneath and then the text"Emergency number". This comes up for 1 second then the dialer exits to my home screen.
I'd like your help to track down this problem.
Dial 112 (911 is only for us phones)

911 is used in Canada. And the SGH-I896 is a Canadian phone.
Have you thought of it more as a network issue, and not a phone issue? I have unfortunately had to dial 911 from my Captivate before, and it worked fine. I'm using an i9000 ROM with an i9000 modem in non-3G service areas.

I'm not sure then does 112 work? Don't call just to test it but it should work I had this problem on an early i9000 rom 112 worked for me... this should be moved to Q&A though it is a bit of an issue... I guess no one realty tests the emergency call features...

Perhaps the issue warrants the attention of developement.
I had to dial 911 on my phone. live in us using cognition 4 and it would not work.
Hmm perhaps this does does need more attention if it still doesn't work on cog 4... I had this problem when the first froyo cog rom came out... I do believe it was brought up then & 112 was the temporary fix but I can't believe 911 still doesn't work...

112 gives me the same "Out of service area" like when I dial 911 without a SIM.
Alright, so I installed Rogers stock 2.2. I tried with both SIM in and SIM out. I'm not able to dial 911 in either case. Call fails with SIM in, and I get the "Out of service" message when SIM is out.
Sounds like there is definitely something wrong with my phone.
Ok so I can confirm that 911 does work on cog 4.3 on the i897 on att in us so I think it does have something to do with the missing nvdata but why would you still be able to make regular calls & not emergency calls that seems backwards hmm?

If you give me an idea on how to fix it, I will test it out...
I have an i897 and have have used it on phoenix (not sure the version), and andromeda 2.1. Not sure how to test, but that does seem like an network problem. Phone not connecting properly.
I tried putting in a SIM from another carrier. 911 emergency calls don't go through.
I tried putting in a SIM from another carrier. All calls work, not 911. Tested on Rogers and Bell Canada.
Thought I herd on android central podcast that the problem was known?

I just checked. Looks like that's a problem for the Vibrant and only when calling from the lock screen. Seems unrelated to this issue, since those people can still call from the dialer once they unlock their phone.
For anyone who has this problem in the future: I'm pretty sure it was related to having lost the phone's original /efs/ folder including nv_data.bin. You have to have a backup nv_data to restore from to fix the problem, or else it needs to go to samsung for servicing to be re-flashed. This fixed my phone. (well, got a replacement...)
For anyone who has this problem in the future: I'm pretty sure it was related to a bad upgrade to 2.2 via Samsung Kies... Replacement phone is working fine for now.

Incoming calls going to voicemail CM7

Hey guys, I installed cm7.2.0 RC1 into friend of mine phone few days back. Today she called me and said she can't get any incoming calls as they go straight to voicemail. So I tried to call her to find it ring once then goes to voicemail. She said she can see the missed call in call log..
Outgoing calls, texting & data works fine. Is there any setting she might have change to cause this so I can tell her to check it out? I can not have a look at the phone for a week as I'm away anyone else experienced this?
her phone running cm7.2.0RC1 with Glitch 13.1 kernel & JVU modem
Thanks in advance

outgoing call and incoming call breaks signal

Man I have a lot of questions :laugh:
Every call, outgoing call and incoming breaks my signal! I type a number and when a press send my signal breaks and after 5 seconds signal is back. Even I am receiving a call it happens. Initialy I thought it was a rom issue but i've instaled many roms for new bootloader and it happens. Will be baseband issue? I am on V20a BB and I never change this.

Incoming/Outgoing call issues with CM 10.1

I'm currently running Hashcode's latest cm-10.1-20130123-UNOFFICIAL-targa release on my Bionic and having issues with Incoming/Outgoing calls. I am still able to make/receive calls, however it does not show the contact name when making/receiving such calls.
Has anyone else experienced this same issue?

Outgoing Calls Issuse
Im having problems too with the At&t HTC One X (evita) CM 10.1-20120206-UNOFFICIAL-evita.
1. I can make calls only when i am on a call.
2. After i get off the call i have like a 10 second window (random) to make a call normally
3. Google voice acts the same way
I have did a full system swipe, cache swipe, reflash rom and full install over again to make sure it wasn't something i did.
Please help.
