Hi, My Hero(Cdma) is having a problem receiveing calls while 3g is turned on.
I can not receive calls while 3g is on.
Calls works fine with Evdo/1x.
I am running CM7 latest nightly, stock everything.
Is there a way to completely disable 3g and use only Evdo?
Or is there a fix for this problem?
Thanks.

EVDO is 3G, they are the same. 1X is slow as balls. FYI, on a CDMA network (like sprint) you CANNOT use both EVDO data and voice calling at the same time. Your calls however SHOULD override the data connection, so if you are describing this right, it sounds like your phone is backwards. I think you are confused.
Thank you for the reply.
I really have no idea why it is doing this.
Some google-ing found me some reports of 3G interfering with receiving incoming calls.
I'll try to explain it better and maybe there is something I am missing.
When the phone is rebooted it sends all calls directly to voicemail, the 3G icon does disappear then reappears instantly, the phone does not even ring.
For the person that calls it's like the phone is powered off.
I can make outgoing calls without any problems, but it still will not receive incoming calls.
Text messages/MMS/apps/browser all work.
We are doing a work around where we disable all Data(via the data widget) then re enable it after every reboot.
That solves the problem temporary.
But it makes the phone unreliable, since it does this.
I've wiped everything, reflashed CM7, and reinstalled all of the apps probably 15 times now.
Before the first reboot there isn't any problems. But after the first reboot all calls are sent straight to voicemail untill I toggle data.
Sorry for the huge block of text.^
I am up for trying anything.
Please let me know what you can think of.
Thanks again.
Don't know if it will help, but it won't hurt.......You could flash back to a sense rom, update your Data Profile and grab the latest PRL update while you're there.
did yo recently change something or was this how it work since flashing new rom?
Thanks everyone for the suggestions on how to fix it.
I think I may have fixed it by installing the AdFree app from the market and updating the hosts with the IP 127.0.0.1.
So far it hasn't sent any calls directly to voice mail, so it appears to be fixed.
Going to edit the title of the thread and add [solved].
Thanks again everyone.
That makes no sense. To have an ad block your access to calls after a fresh install? Sounds like you might have a program installed disrupting your service if adfree solved it.
Your phone is possessed!!!

Hello,
I have a verry weird problem with my Tytn 2.
Most of the time when people try to call me, the phone doens't ring. the only thing i see is a small incomming call icon on top of the screen and the screen turns on. after that i get an sms message from my voicemail. (They get redirected to it)
Sometimes it just works well.
Dont know what is going on, but it is verry annoying. i miss a lot of calls every day.
Maybe anyone know the issue?
Btw on a sidenote, i check my Gmail every 5mins (1min disconect when idle) but it seems to consume a lot of data +- 15MB a day. Only email checking!!
Anyone who knows how that come?
Thanks!
r u on a 3G or 2G coverage?
If on 2G, some operators do not allow data and voice at the same time. So if you have your Internet connection on at almost all the times, your voice calls will automatically be switched to VMail.
But if you have a 3G connection. dunno.
as far as the net usage, do you download ALL the message? try loading only the headers? Do you also download the attachments? all these rack up.

Well i think i can select that at the menu 'Band' it is configured as 'Auto'
Can chose:
Type network: Auto, GSM or WCDMA
Select GSM/UMTS-band: GSM(900+1800)+UMTS(2100) or GSM(1900+850) or UMTS (2100+800)
i know my provider supports 3g
Or is that the wrong menu? and settings.
Thanks for the tip on the email. Attachments were already disabled. but i chosed to download all tekst and no images. But now i selected it to header only, will monitor how it goes.
Hm, maybe some more ppl with input?
i still think it has something to do with the internet connection that is active.
My Kasier switches between 2G and 3G depending on coverage. Based on the answer you already got above, this might explain the "random" nature of missed calls:
If your coverage at a point in time is 2G and an incoming call happens at the same time as a scheduled email download, the call gets redirected.
If your coverage is 3G, the call comes in normally.
I hate push email on my phone (it's a control thing) and pull email down when and if it suits me!
Hmm dunno if its a coverage problem i travel a lot, and today i missed 2 calls again. Damn its getitng annoying! maybe i need to try a hard reset?
Hm most pll say that the phone rings two times, and then switches to my voicemail. But i dont hear anything, only see a small phone icon in the top bar.
Rings twice and then voicemail is definetly you using data connection when someone calls.
I have had mine not ring and go to voice mail several times. Once when it happend, I called it myself, and watched teh phone, and I noticed that it thought I had on a BT headset. My BT was on on the phone, but I did not have a BT headset on. So, I think it was sending to BT, but there was not BT. I have started turning my BT off if I am in fact not using a BT headset or other BT device.

I've noticed recently that I can't seem to access 2G/3G while on calls. I remember being able to do this with unrooted phone. Is there a feature or service I need to disable for this to work? I have wifi, gps, bluetooth all on at once, most of the time. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Never ever seen edge/3g on my mytouch or my old g1 my g1 wasnt ever rooted the mytouch is and like I said I've never seen the data icon on while in a call are 100% certain that it used to be on?
I have 2/3g while on calls on my rooted g1. I think the issue is if you're on call, and hit a blind spot where you get disconnected from your data connection but not voice (this happens to be often). It will not reconnect the data connect edge or 3g until I end the voice call. I also get into this problem if i'm connected on wifi while i'm on call and leaves the wifi area, it'll not connect to 2/3 g until i end the voice connection.
you cannot use 2g + voice at the same time. only 3g
I'm having an issue where my phone loses connection, both data and voice, at random times but it only happens at work. I've never had coverage issues with any other phone, and neither do coworkers. Our wifi is horrible, so I usually have it disabled (this issue happens even if I'm on wifi), and I've disabled Smart Network Switch to keep it from trying to connect.
Ive tried toggling data, toggling airplane mode, but the only fix is to restart the device. That works, but I can't afford to miss a call or text if I haven't restarted my phone recently.
The only thing I can think is to get a new SIM card, and if nothing else, factory reset. Any other ideas that might be easier? Maybe I'm forgetting a setting?
I'm happy I found this thread. I thought the problem was only with me. I'm having the same exact issue and only at work too where there's no WiFi.

Can I ask where you work?
My data/voice issues have stopped, but now I have no incoming texts. Outgoing texts work, calls work, data works, but I receive all of my texts batched together up to six hours after the fact.
Rebooted, cleared messaging app data, pulled SIM card, booted into safe mode, and even called VZW technical support to no avail.
Going to try a factory data reset tonight, but I doubt it will be the fix.

I had similar issues and resolved the problem by getting a new SIM card

Ended up not being a phone issue. The data was SIM related but the texting was something to do with the feature on my line.
Is anyone having signal issues with the axon pro? My phone keeps going in and out of signal, and while my status bar says that I have "no service" I will have full bars, but only when connected to WiFi. When not connected to WiFi, all the bars are lost.
Is anyone else experiencing these signal issues or bug of this sort? Just trying to determine the root of the problem.

When did you start having problems? After the latest update?
I think it is a problem with the Wifi calling feature. After trying wifi calling and having problems (the other person couldn't hear me), I decided to turn it off.
After turning it off I started having crazy issues - the wifi calling would turn on even though I had turned it off. After turning off wifi completely, data wouldn't work so I rebooted the phone. After rebooting the phone, I couldn't get a signal at all. I tried rebooting the phone multiple times but the signal wouldn't come back. I switched SIMs and it still wouldn't work. At this point I was thinking there was a hardware problem with the phone so I was considering calling ZTE to get a new one. But I tried one last thing - I turned wifi back on and made a wifi call - the signal came back! So it is a software problem.
So I turned on wifi calling again but configured for "cellular preferred". It seemed to work well for a while, but then a few days later went crazy notifying me every few seconds that wifi calling was turning on/turning off.
To keep the phone stable I have now unfortunately had to setup the phone with "Wifi Calling Preferred". Thankfully soon after I did this I started getting error "REG09: Missing 911 address" so it doesn't try to use wifi calling anymore.
No point calling ZTE support because their phone support is appallingly bad. They won't understand the issue, they won't give me a ticket number. All they will say is either "reset the phone" or try to send me a new phone which will just make me lose time and lose data. They had a website where you could raise tickets for a little while...but it looks like it has been blocked now as it could have been too useful .

Trying posting to their Twitter account and report the issue, that is how i got their attention. Also when you call them (here in the USA) tell them that you have already done a reset on your phone and that did not resolve the issue!!!

I got some signal issues too I only get 2 to 3 tower usually but at time its completely dead and until I reboot my phone signal doesn't Pop up ...and at times even though I have like 2 signal tower it shows emergency calls oly...I don't use WiFi calling as am on straight talk.but the WiFi calling feature suddenly pops up in the notification bar giving an error message u can't swipe that off the notification bar too u gotta go to MORE in settings and switch on and switch off the WiFi calling feature to remove the error msg from the notification bar .
Signal keeps fluctuating call clarity is a lil bit poor comparing it to my old lg g2 . macro focus doesn't work at all u can't focus a thing that's really close in auto. I dono what to do with this phone.it just doesn't satisfy the basic need of a phone voice calls and message(messages take a long time to send ).

Again, not worth my breath. If you check the new thread someone called up ZTE about the issue and they blamed it on T-Mobile (which is complete and utter BS). When I called about the camera issues they tried to blame it on Google. Why waste my time to be told lies? The support is completely s***.

Well hopefully ZTE will come out with a fix really soon, I don't think that they want to lose the users they have.......
Loss of at&t signal
In one location that I frequent I always sit there without a cellular signal while people around me are using their cell phones
LTE signal strength sporadic
My Pro shows a few bars for a couple seconds,then NO SIGNAL for a few seconds. ZTE is not fixing this problem? It has been going on since January. Now is September.
For those with this issue, does a factory reset change this behavior, or at least the frequency of it?
First off, I can make outgoing calls 100% of the time, and never have any problem except a split-second delay (as expected with VOIP)
Receiving calls though......
First, wifi calling randomly turns off, with a note I find later about "wifi calling is not available at this location" ---- yes, I have poor reception, and I know wifi calling requires an always-active GPS signal so rain or clouds can kill it --- but it never turns back on once the storm/cloud/whatever is gone, it stays turned off until I manually turn it back on.
Second, even when it is turned on, I will randomly get no notification - no ring, no vibrate, the screen stays black, and no "miss call" notification, I just get told later that someone tried to call me and it went straight to voicemail.
Third, when it does register an incoming call, I will swipe to answer and the phone app will... kinda half-freeze... it acts like it's trying to answer the call, where the red end button appears, but all the other buttons are greyed out except message. It's in a strange limbo-like state of being answered and not... when this happens usually the other party will connect and can hear me, but whatever they say never reaches me.
Fourth, I answer the call, everything seems fine, I say hello and just hear my own voice echoing, and even though I answered the call, they never connect and end up on voicemail.
I know that WiFi calling is a "new technology" (even if we've been using VOIP for years....) and Sprint hasn't "ironed out the bugs" yet, but is there anything I can do to improve it?
I have tried doing a hard reset on the phone, updating PRL/settings/OS, changing the phone data mode from LTE to CDMA, sprint tech changed out my SIM card for a new one, airplane mode (which doesn't work because it turns off GPS)... none of it works and I still miss a good 60%+ of my calls... any other suggestions?

do u have a vpn active?
plus i dont think GPS has anything to do with "WIFI" calling.
as long as wifi is connected to a proper wifi network, that should be all you need.( other than if a VPN is activated or wifi network is congested/ to many AP ssids with overlapping channels, then it should work fine.)
I did before the hard reset (one-dot), I dont now. so it didn't seem to matter...

You have to have an active GPS signal for "e911 services" --- yes the app claims you can set your location manually, but doing so does nothing and as soon as my phone loses cell/GPS reception, wifi calling goes off and will NOT come back on till reception is restored (also I've used two of Sprints Femtocells and both of them required an active GPS for e911 so....)

yeah.... since about the start of this year my LTE speeds have gone down (though only in actual use! --- run speedtest and magically I have like 50mbps, even though I can't watch youtube even at 144p without it buffering and asking my phone "Alexa Next Track" returns an error about connectivity) Also my reception in my home has gotten worse in the last couple months --- for the last 17.5 years I've been able to make/receive calls on sprint over normal cellular without issue as long as it wasn't raining (yes, I've been with Sprint for almost long enough to raise a child.... they started out as the best carrier in my area, believe it or not), but now even though my phone reports 2 bars (out of like 8 or 10), I recieve almost no calls, and drop outgoing ones very frequently unless I switch to WiFi Calling.
So... yeah... I figured it was actually bad implementation on either Samsung or Sprint's part, but I was hoping there was something I could do to improve it....

Switch telco's... Sprint dropped the ball. They invested in. Winax , then LTE took off. They've been behind ever since
