I have noticed that since 4.5.0 and now OB 18, I have received multiple complaints from people trying to call me saying that they are not able to reach my number, when I am in my home.
The same people have been able to call me and talk to me everyday before that. I don't know if this is a network provider issue or some issue in the software.
Although if it is a network provider issue, then this should have been happening in any version of OOS before 4.5.0
Are any of you facing the same or similar issue?
Network provider : airtel india (if it matters)
Install your old os rom then see is there any problem or not. If there isn't any then update your phone again. This happened maybe because of a slight error while installing thr the new software

Hi guys,
Tried searching for a similar problem but didn't find anything.
I have had it changed twice now, so it could be a problem with the current software.
I am finding that I am missing most of my calls, and they are going straight through to voicemail, despite having full reception.
This is not happening with the Sim card in any other phone, just with the Vario 3.
This is a T- Mobile UK handset
has anyone had a similar problem? I'm thinking if they are just replacing it again then I may have to try a different handset.
It's very disruptive for work and social purposes when callers are getting straight to voicemail most of the time.
Any ideas are greatly appreciated
thanks.
Hi, The problem may be with the 3G network, I had a similar problem and was told to change the network settings to standard GPRS settings through the network settings menu on the vario iii.
This did solve the problem of calls not coming through. I changed settings back to 3G a couple of days later and all seemed to be working again.
I think that the problem lies with the 3G network as I was advised by someone I know who works for T-mobile UK that T-mobile are still experimenting with 3G and certain areas may work better than other areas due to problems with the network at certain times.
Were the other phones that you used your sim in on 3g or standard gprs settings?

Thanks for the response.
I have put it on GPRS which seems to have helped.
It's just defeating the purpose of web and walk.
My previous phone was the vario 2 which to my memory worked fine, although I did put the latest radio version etc on it via this site.
They are sending a repair bag for me to post over to them the handset, but I imagine they don't have any updated software to stick on it or radio.
Have a problem with receiving and sending messages and phone calls since updating to 2.1. SMS are delayed and sometimes I don't get them at all, also calls are not coming through.
Switching phone to "2g only" resolves the issue, but something is broken in 3g mode. I can get to the internet in 2g and 3g mode. My network operator is PlusGSM, I use my phone in Poland.
Config:
Network: PlusGSM (Poland)
Currently installed ROM: Greek 2.1
ROM ver.: GT540-V20a-OCT-05-2010
APN config.: Standard APN config for PlusGSM provided in ROM, 1 APN for internet, and 1 for MMS.
I've tried different 2.1 ROMS (France, CIS, Baltic) and all have the same issue.
Help !
it seems to be a problem with some gt540's and upgrading to 2.1 roms. mine has this exact same issue and so do quite a few other people on the macado forums. my girlfriends phone which is exactly the same phone and bought at the same time doesnt have this problem.
its very strange to be honest. its as if when on 3g it disconnects from the network and doesnt recieve anything. then it must reconnect when you start something like the internet or something and then all the messages come through.
would love to be able to tell you how to fix it but i cant.
Yea i have the same issue with my phone. Im not sure but i think the problem was before the 2.1update. But it seems to have gotten worse after the update though.

I have something like this in 1.6; sometimes calls are not coming through. Also it looses network connectivity totally sporadically. Never had these problems with other phones.
(Sometimes the phone also locks itself up, both of these problems I resolve by removing the battery a few secs, then it's back to its normal self again. Even tried a factory reset to no apparant avail.)

These other issues you are having could be due to a badly manufactured model, or not.
Im beginning to think that the text and calls issue may be an o2 Network problem.
I know 3 other people in my own family with this problem. I am on android 2.1 and using BlackSystem ROM, the second person with this problem in my family is using Baltic 2.1, and the third person is using the stock 1.6 that came with the phone.... and we are all on o2.
Since there is no visable info about the network providers from anyone who already posted here, could you kindly type down your network provider when you leave a reply? Thanks.
NETWORK: o2 U.K
Yep a few of us are having this problem, but mine still works now and again. I'm using V20B 2.1 Vodafone Rom.
Network o2-UK (Contract)
yeah I'm on o2 as well. does seem like its a network problem.
I noticed that the phone randomly rebooted from it's idle screen. Then, after checking it out with my friends' phones, I found out that they also have the issue. Then I found out this only happened when it was in the LTE coverage.
So after some traces in the mobile switch with the help of a collegue, I was able to pinpoint the issue towards the LTE's CS fallback method.
(CS fallback is what happens when your network does not support voice over LTE, thus, the phone automatically falls back to the 3G network.)
It happens when I make a call or receive a call. When the switch pages the phone, it sometimes cannot fallback to the HSPA or 3G network. It makes the phone get stuck in some way, I think some watchdog in the chipset reboots it.
Have any of you experienced it? Do any experienced developers here know of a workaround? if you want logcat or any other traces, I can provide them.

Hi Tharaka,
Im exerience this behaviour since september of this year, in Spain with my carrier Yoigo, i have solved partially changing it to use only WCDMA/GPRS. I have this phone since May of this year, first in Japan where it worked very well, and then i move to Spain in June, during June - Sept the phone worked very well, then it began to reboot very often.
Hope they solve this soon...

Hi
I've got the same problem with my xperia v since monday in france (free mobile).
No problem when i set WCDMA instead of LTE.
We were able to fix this from the carrier side in Sri Lanka. It should be done from the carrier. If I remember correctly, this was done using allowing something like data handoff. If anyone is interested in whats needed in the carrier side, ping this thread.

Hi Everyone,

I experienced the same problem on .546, here in Dallas AT&T has a strong LTE signal but my z3 only showed one bar consistently throughout the day. I found no way to remedy this other than downgrade back to 5.0.2.
Sony xperia z3c mobile data problem
Hi,
sorry for my bad english. After the latest aktualization 23.4.A.0.546 (Android 5.1.1) I have a problem with interrupted mobile data connection (3G, 2G), permanently connect, disconnect. 4G holds on (done up), but very bad signal, rather none. Device is factory reseted after the actualization, sim card is OK, operator (T-mobile CZ) doesn’t see any problem with configuration. Before the actualization no problem. Question posted on official technical support Sony a week without response. In my opinion - bugged actualization. Anyone any idea?

Issues
The 4g is really weak but I'm also having trouble with phone calls. The caller cannot always hear me. I have to switch back and forth between speaker and handset. As a result callers hang up on me but also because the signal is weak my calls drop. Another issue I have is when I logonto WiFi all running apps fail to operate data specific features. For example if I long g into WiFi my whatsapp will stop sending and receiving messages and if I go back up cellular those messages will sometimes leave the queue but generally I have to restart my phone.
Body lock feature on smart lock does not work, first day out out caused me a huge problem with a girl I was seeing. I should add that these issues are also being experience by my friend, we both have the z3c USA version.
yeah I am having issues as well where it drops out and gets weak. I have another 4g phone on the same network and that isnt having the issues.
edit: using 23.4.A.0.546 - Unbranded - BALTIC (1288-5413) on a UK z3c
I have no problems with signal strength. In the place of my tests I have always 100% coverage.
But I have observed very slow change 3g / 2g to lte (preferred) / 3g / 2g. The delay was 2 to 3 minutes to switch from 3G to LTE. I have done many many tests.
Maybe finally I managed to solve: I have opened mobile mode info with * # * # 4636 # * # * and I changed mode LTE / WCDMA. Now the connection to LTE is faster, 15 to 20 seconds.
Maybe you can try the mobile mode info.
I continue to report more tests.
I using NCB 1288-5411 23.4.A.0.546_R14C (Nordic Combined) customized Slim Wajk . In Spain.
Lte only
That works for me but now I cannot make calls because voice is handled in the 3g network. Ideas?
---------- Post added at 12:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:50 PM ----------
Lte/GSM(auto prl) works for me and resolves the data issues
I switched to the UK o2 version (my carrier) and things seem to be back to normal and I now have the NFC icon in the notifcation panel, something absent on the version I had installed before.
very odd. but I like the o2 version as it allows me to chose just 4g/3g/2g etc for when I am in areas of bad signal, not something the other versions give you as much control over.
Blah
Still the same issues. Hopefully Sony can patch this.

Hi Azazelix,
I'm also in TMCZ network and I used to have data connection problems (losing data connection when travelling) with others than T-Mobile CZ branded fw.
Since I'm on branded TMCZ LP fw, all problems are gone.
I'm guessing it might have something to do with radio version -> now I have 8974-AAAAANAZQ-00063-42 and no problems.
As far as I know TMCZ branded 5.1 is not released yet! -> thus my suggestion for going back to latest TMCZ branded fw and hold on until TMCZ branded 5.1
is gonna get released.
Good luck to you!
The Sony support forums suggested that you changed your app settings. In your app settings where it says ipv6, change it to ipv4. This seems to have worked for me however I'm still having issues with people hearing me when I use speaker phone.
No news? Im brazillian. The same problem with 5.1.1
Unique solution is back to 5.0.2?
Hi,
In recent weeks, I am seeing that my phone is sometimes reporting as switched off when called from another number, even if it has network coverage. It happens with jio sim and pie update now. I am also unable to place calls. This happens mostly during early morning,when phone is not used for long time. This gets resolved once I toggle airplane mode on and off. Not sure if its a software issue. Is any one else facing the same ?
