[Q] Can't answer calls with GingerDX V19 - XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everybody!
I'm facing a big problem with GingerDX V19. For some reason, after a time of use (a day, a week...) I can't receive calls.
The phone rings and vibrate, but the screen is black. After some seconds, I receive a force close from com.android.phone. Then, the signal is lost (a small red 'x' appears on the status signal), and some seconds after I get signal again.
The persons who call me listen a one call sound, the the call drops. I can't see who is calling me, and the call log don't register anything!
It happens from nothing. The first time I install GingerDX, take 2 days. So, I upgraded again, but with LinuxDX kernel. Some days after, the problem appears again. About 5 days without problems, but yesterday the problem re-appear. So, I decided to unlock the bootloader, and try GDX with Alfs5 kernel.
I flashed yesterday, about 15pm. Today, about 13pm, the problem appears again!! I can't understand!!!
The only way to solve this is re-installing GDX with full wipe, but I have to re-install and re-configure ALL my programs. I read a lot of posts on GDX thread, but nothing solve my problem until now... "Force touch UI", disable "call me louder" or "looping ringtone", change the in-call screen... Nothing...
BTW, I CAN MAKE calls, send and receive SMS... But not RECEIVE calls!!
Any ideas?? I love that ROM, but I can't have life with this problem!!!
Thanks in advice!

try new [ROM] GingerDX | v021 | 05-12-2011 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1188486
hit thanks

I have upgraded to V21, but the problem persists...
This time, I'm using LinuxDX kernel instead Alfs5.
Any ideas??

full wipe~~

Already tried.
When I upgrade, I do a full-wipe, clean cache, format data / cache / system partitions, as well clear dalvik cache.
More suggestions?

Found one reason: the "Call Me Louder" option on Cyanogen Configs.
If I turn it on, problem happens. If it is off, I can answer calls.
I can't post on dev section for X8 yet, can anyone report this to Doixanh on GingerDX thread??
Tonight I'll verify if another setting will be problem.
Thanks!

If you want to full wipe, just make a backup of all your apps using titanium backup. Not sure if the feature exists in free version, but hey! You can give it a try

[Q] SGS issue force close on receive call

Hello
I just installed Darky's 5.2 ROM over my stock 2.1-update1 and everything works fine, but whenever I receive a call something (dialer?) gets a force close and the call is rejected together with a temp. loss of signal.
Then everything is back to normal...
Any steps I'd take? I'm pretty new to this.
have the exact same problem... can dial out no problem but only receiving calls. so thinking about whether I should flash another rom until this is fixed.....
I was wondering could I just do a factory reset and then flash the rom over again? Do I have to disable the voodo lagfix before? Not too sure how this works heh.
I don't have this problem. But whenever i am in the game "flick kick football," I get some random hangs, and is forced to close. I suspect that happens when I get incoming calls. Anyway to confirm this?

I have the same problem. I recived a call, something force closed, the signal dropped and i lost the operator. I had similar problems with bluetooth and file manager before on this ROM, but I re-flashed it and everything worked again.
no problem here with Darky's 5.2 ROM and the Clean Guide Instruction, i just received a call without any problems
I used the easy guide and did not clean anything or do a factory reset, I just followed it like a dumbo. I came from 2.1-update1 stock JM5 kernel with a ton of apps installed, if that helps.
hey I think I found a solution to this. I went to recovery mode, wiped cache, wiped dalvik, did a factory reset and voila, receiving calls works without force closing.
phew.. was about to download another rom. anyhow, hope that works for you Jule!
still a few problems with the ROM that i encountered:
- my AT&T home button is not working.... not to sure whether there will ever be a fix for it
- media volume, even set to max, is not working when playing movies and youtube.

[HELP PLS]Can't recieve calls after few days

Hey!
I was wondering, did anyone have this problem? After a few days of using it, my SE x8 is unable to recieve calls. A reboot solves it for little time, but it always happens again.
I'm on GingerDX v011, all the requirements are met (xrecovery AND cwm recovery, tried both, correct baseband as well).
It did this, while i was on v009, did a fresh reinstall with v011 and here it goes again.
I'm thinking about going back to the original firmaware, but its a hassle, so i was wondering if anyone had this problem before!
thanks in advance!

[Q] Cannot make or receive calls - GingerDX v019

Hello there.
I have a big problem, recently i decided to root my X8, install xRecovery, and finally flash GingerDX v019 so i could enjoy the benefits of 2.3 on my phone, since SE's costumer service and device support just suck.
Everything is working just fine, including wi-fi and data transmission, bluetooth, etc, except for one big thing: the phone calls (incoming and outgoing)
The weird thing is, after i reboot the phone, i can make or receive one call, but just one... after that if i try to call anyone it just says "call ended", and if someone tries to call me, they hear the service providers message instead of my phone ringing.
I have GingerDX v019 with no add-ons and stock kernel, i've installed a few apps but no task manager/killer... Help?
Thank you in advance...
P.S: I can however send and receive sms's without problem, and i've installed Go Contacts EX/dialer as suggested in another thread to a user with this problem on GDX v015.
The only way for now that i found to prevent this bug is to have the data connection always on (on stock 2.1 i turned everything off when i was not using and never had a problem)
Full wippe install again gdx via cwm full wippe and it should work

I installed via xRecovery, you think that might be the problem?
Yes it is. You must install gdx via cwm. Try and you will see that everything work
Sent from my X8 using XDA App
It will be a major pain in the a** installing and configuring everything again, but if that's what i have to do... Thank you very much
UPDATE: Just installed via CWM, and my little-big bug seems to be dead and buried, Thank You once again :-D
No problem....

Hey, I am wondering if you can help. My mate just got an X8 from ebay but cannot make calls from it, much like what is described above. Is there a guide on how to fix this?
Thanks in advance for your time and help
Cheers
Chris
The problem i had was caused by changing the software and flashing a custom rom the wrong way. If your mate cannot make calls from it and the phone is in stock condition (with the original software), then the problem is the phone itself. I suggest a complaint to the person that sold the phone and if that does not solve the problem, report the person to eBay. If the payment was made via Paypal, the refund is almost immediate.

Network problems

First, hello
Since a few days, I encountered big network problems with my phone:
I can't call or receive a call, and I can't send or receive SMS anymore. It's very hazardous, but most of the time it doesn't work. My network connection is often unavailable: most of the time it disconnects when i try to use the network and reconnects seconds later, sometimes without improvements.
I was running the Temasek's Kang with the ETANA kernet when this problem appeared. I tried to reboot, wipe cache, wipe dalvic cache, update CM7 and the Kernel. I tried to do a wipe data/factory reset and install the last updates, without success. :S
So I tried NVflash... I install the V10B version, and my phone seems to works better. But not perfectly at all. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.
I tried to install the last BB (824), nothing better. I tried with the 218, the problem persists.
It's very annoying, I miss all the call I receive: my phone doesn't ring and my correspondent goes directly to the "voicemail" (I don't know how do you call that ^^)
I don't know what to do, and where the problem could be.
If you got any idea, please share
Thanks!

[Q] Zeus 7.06 android.phone FC

Sorry but i can't post in development.
I had Zeus 6.37 installed in my OB but was eagerly awaiting for a ICS or JB ROM.
So I tried CM10. Everything worked fine except for the known issues (video recording and the lack of GPS). These issue made me go back to Zeus since I want a fully functional phone.
I decided to update to Zeus version 7.06. Did full wipe before Rom installation. Then just recovered sms with "SMS backup & Restore".
I found a some problems:
1. Sometimes when I make a call the process "android.phone" closes the phone loses signal and only after a while I can repeat the call.
2. Sometimes the SMS app (Go SMS) shows no texts. But after I close the app or reboot the phone the messages show again.
Usually these problems appear simultaneously. I reinstalled the ROM but the problem is still there!
Does someone have an explanation? And what can be done to solve these problems.
I wish I never changed from Zeus 6.37 :crying:
