Major Treo 750 Problem - Phone Ringer - Palm Treo 750

My Treo stopped ringing when i receive incoming calls. I looked this up on google and seems to be a common problem many treo 750 owners are experiencing. Is there any fix out there while i get old and grey waiting for cingular to officially release a fix?

Didn't you ask this on HoFo too? You should be able to fix it with this link.

2125 "answer" softkey sends calls to VM

Hello everyone, I'm brand new to this forum. However, I skimmed over quite a few pages of posts and did a couple of searches regarding the issue I'm experiencing to no avail.
About 50% of the time that I attempt to answer an incoming call with the answer softkey the phone will halt for a second (while still showing the incoming call screen) and then return to the today screen showing that I have a missed call and sends the caller to voice mail. I originally thought that it might be a delay from accidentally hitting the ignore button when pulling my phone out of the holster, however this is not the case since the same thing will happen when my phone is on my desk and I attempt to answer it.
I am running the newest available firmware from HTC for the 2125 (v2.0.13.0) and this is a refurbished phone from Cingular that I received only a week ago, any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
- Dan
hey,
I have a qtek 8300 that I am using on cingular, and I occasionally have that problem, certainly not 50% though. My suspicion is that this is not a phone problem, but a cingular problem w/ voice mail. I have noticed that the number of rings before going to voice mail can be extremely variable (sometimes after a couple rings, sometimes after about 10-15). I haven't talked to anyone at cingular about this, or checked to see if there is a way to adjust the time-to-answer, because it is not a big enough deal for me (probably <10% calls), but maybe worth checking. I could be totally wrong though, and you have some wierd short-circuit w/ your button. good luck.
I also noticed similar behavior from France with Orange.
So actually I've setup my line to never forward calls after a delay to the voicemail (it will do only if the mobile is not on the network at all)

Help? HP iPAQ 510 playing tones while talking

Hi All,
I'm hoping someone can help me. I tried another forum but never heard back. There are a couple of problems. I received an unlocked HP iPAQ 510 Voice Messenger for Christmas 2007. I can't find any information on fixing this or a fix for this.
When I am on the phone talking to someone, they can hear that I’ve received a message (voice, text, etc). They can hear reminder sounds and that I’ve missed calls. It just keeps on playing right out of the speaker. We just have to wait for it to play out. It doesn't matter if the call is on Normal, Outdoor, or Vibrate. The other party and I can still hear that a message or alert has come through. I did stumble onto an option under Settings>Accessibility. I can change the In-Call Alert Volume from 0-5. I won't hear the alert while on the phone if I set the profile to Silent or if I adjust the In-Call Alert Volume to 0. I would like a way to hear a regular beep and for the other caller to hear nothing. You know... as though I am using some other phone that works properly. I hate having to go back and forth changing my profiles. It must be HP related or something. My friend has an iMate sp5m and this doesn’t happen to them. We even compared our registries. I’ve not stumbled onto this in various forums.
Also, for incoming calls, I’ve chosen a ringer of my choice. When I answer the call, it stops playing this ringer sound immediately. I would like the same to happen for my messages. When I receive any type of text message, upon checking the message, the sound should cease. It is not doing this. How can this be fixed? Now after checking the forums, it seems that there is no real way to do this regardless of if it is Windows Mobile 5 or 6. However, I figured I'd ask or I could've missed something.
I chatted with HP a couple times and they had me do a master reset a few times. This didn’t help it. I called the repair number and they sent me another phone. I received the new HP iPAQ 510 today. It still has the same issue with playing tones while I am on the phone. Is there a registry value or something that I am missing?
I haven’t done much within the registry of this phone. I have completely unlocked the phone using SDA Application Unlock and changed a couple policy values.
Begging for help,
Shelli
Man
This Happens To all The Phones that use windows mobile it even happend on my htc typhoon , n my cousinz htc feeler oxygen and htc gene and my ipaq 514 the song or melody carries on til it ends you could try editing the sound and making it like 10sec s0 it Does n0t Play That l0ng as for hearing the sounds in the phone call try puting it on loadspeaker and taking it out see if dat helps
Thank you for your help
Thank you for your reply and confirmation on the text message issue. Also, I turned on the loudspeaker while on a call. I sent a message and took it off and sent one as well. We could still hear the tone. You mentioned that you have or had a 514. Does this issue I'm describing when on a call sound familiar to you? I may have HP send me a 514 (if there are less issues) or maybe I'll look at getting an HTC Touch Dual or a S730. Of course I'll have to research them more.
IV never n0tiCEd
Well Iv never Recieved a text message during a call so i dont knw rather get a touch dual it beta da HP

Calls going straight to voice mail without ringing

I just started using the phone (with original ROM) in Rogers/Fido network in Toronto, and I have been getting on and off calls going straight to voice mail without the phone ever ringing (no missed call notification by the phone).
Anyone else having the problem? Is it related to the phone going to deep sleep state or polling frequency? Any tweaks or registry editing which would reduce the chance of that?
This is a serious problem for me, as I need reliability. I don't mind giving up some battery performance to correct it.
I may trying updating the GSM Radio. Will it make any difference? As I understand, updating GSM Radio only should not erase all the programs like updating OS ROM does, am I correct? I would back up before doing so.
Sorry to state the obvious, but did you accidentally set your phone to forward all calls to voicemail in setting?

No. And this does not happen all the time. If I make a call from the phone, then it can start to receive calls without any problem. It just happens at random. And when it happens, repeated calls will all go straight to voice mail.
And I have disabled the no answer forwarding, so it should keep ringing until the caller hangs up.
hey -
first, I'd like to say these forums are awesome! thanks for the great info.
But i am having the 'straight-to-voice mail' problem with my TC too. It doesn't happen every time, but every once and a while i get a voice mail indicator, but the phone never rang. My girlfriend actually called me 3 times in a row, 2 of which went right to mail, the third one rang. odd. So if anyone has any ideas, i would appreciate it!
Edit: I am also on Fido in Toronto. I have been looking around, and there is the suggestion that perhaps this is a problem with the 'Who Called' or 'Name display' features of voicemail, which doesnt work well with some phones. Now i am not sure if this is it - but i upgraded my VM at the same time I got the TC. Another suggestion has been that the Radio Rom doesnt work well with some netorks. Can anyone confirm/deny this? Any other ideas?
hmm - anything new on this?
For me, my workaround solution is to disable 3G - network settings changed to "GSM" instead of "Auto". Now, the calls have been very reliable with no straight to voice mail problem.
So it looks like there are some incompatibility issues with my 1.58.21.23 Radio ROM and Rogers/Fido network/3G. But I don't know where to look for a better radio ROM (other than loading everything for trial and errors).
And which radio ROM is compatible with Polaris? Only those made for Polaris or the same class of phones? It is rumored that Rogers would release Kaiser very soon, so I presume that Kaiser's Radio ROM (not OS obviously) should be compatible?
aww...i really hope it's not 3G - i guess i might as well cancel that data plan Anyway, I've disabled it, so we shall see if it remedies the problem.
Edit: for those of you who are having the same problem and want to disable 3G but still want to be able to use 3G data every once and a while, I have installed Schap's Advanced Configuration too (which is awesome, btw, and can be found by searching the forums). It has a handy feature that permits you to add 3G on/off to the comm. manager, which makes switching between GSM and 3G really easy. Just thought I'd share.
Just grabbed this thread out and update it here:
Seems the problem does not depend mandatory on using 3G or GPRS
and also not depending on the Radio version. I have noticed missed
calls with enabled 3G and with GPRS only. And I have noticed them
with Radio 1.58.23.21 and with 1.64.08.21 on bepe WM6.1 0.64 GER.
I also have a friend who confirmed he noticed missed calls on stock
WM6.0 GER from O2 germany with stock Radio 1.58.23.21. Its annoying!!
I had the same problems with my old Hermes (TyTN 1) with all ROMs
and all Radio versions also. It's a pity to seem the problem persist on
the Polaris I mean, hey, the TC is some kind of phone, isn't it?
And the main task for a phone is being able to receive a call if radio
reception is OK. Never had a standalone phone, which suffered such
problems...
Olioaglio
Hi everyone, I have been having the exact same problem on my Cruise (and no, my phone is not set to forward to voice mail). It's very odd since it seems to happen randomly. I found it resolves temporarily if i make a call then hang up.
Can anyone follow-up if switching to "GSM" instead of "Auto" resolves the issue. This has become a serious problem for me and would appreciate any help. Thanks!
UPDATE: after several days of testing, i am happy to say that i have not had any problems since swithching to GSM
Mine is not doing the same in Vancouver.bc Fido.
I've tried multiple radio roms and am gradually working my way down the list from newest to oldest. so far no difference.
Any other ideas?
sorry to resurrect an old threat.

US T-Mobile with WM6: Missed calls / no voicemail notification

I know many people, including myself, have been trying to find the best combination of WM6/6.1 ROM and radio ROM to eliminate the missed call problem on our wizards.
I think part of the problem is our feedback is spaced apart in many threads and there is often varying results based on carrier. For this reason, I'm creating this thread for all US T-Mobile users to post their own results with their wizards.
I'm running TNT.19199 Series V.2. I have push e-mail through activesync and GPRS always on. I'm based in NY, but I travel in NJ often and have the same results in both states.
On my first flash, I was using the US T-Mobile stock radio rom (2.25.11) and I was missing calls and not getting voicemail notifications.
I changed my radio to UK T-Mobile radio rom (2.19.11) and I thought I had good results for a few weeks, until this weekend I missed 5 calls and received voicemail notifications and text messages about 20 minutes late. I had service during this time, but no calls came in.
Any US T-Mobile users, please post your own positive and negative experiences with WM6/radio roms and missed calls.
Any other wizard users having missed call issues, I encourage you to create similar threads specific to your own carriers.
In batterystatus do you have the default minimum speed set to 143MHZ. If you do change it to 175 or higher. I have had missed calls below 175.
same here!!
im using tnt's 6.1 my ipl/spl is 3.08 and 2.71 radio.. i wasnt having any problems for about 2 weeks until this week of april.. i missed 5 calls and 9 text messages.. so im switching to 2.19 and see how that goes for about a week.. but the radios i guess usually work better depending on where you live..
Me Too
I'm in the same boat. I'm using TNT.19199 Series V.2 with push email on. I don't have GPRS always on (just when a push is needed). I missed two calls and 1 voice mail this past weekend. I never had this problem on WM 5 and the stock T-Mobile rom. I'm using radio version 2.25 here in Washington State, US.
BTW, activesync seems to run much more often that neccessary -- not just when a new email is available. Sometimes it seems that it it always phoning home. I know there have been some threads that state the "fix" for missed calls is to turn off push email but like I said it wasn't a problem on WM 5.
BTW, I do OC to 234 using BatteryStatus and default to 195 at bootup.
I'd be happy if there was some applet that could be scheduled to check for voice mail and missed calls from the t-mobile cloud. Speaking of scheduling... I wonder if this has something to do with the Notifications database? I don't know what it does exactly but I do know that activesync uses it for some of it's scheduling. Maybe we are missing some entry in the Notifications database that is scheduled to periodically check for messages, etc. I too suffer occationaly to the miriad of mesage popups related to dupe events in the Notifications database.
USE 2.19

Change to 2.19 radio. Best radio for WM6 and WM 6.1 no missed calls.
Refering to the batterystatus, if you are overclocking and use the cpu scaler function and have the minimum cpu speed below 175 you may miss calls. Not the default to 195 after reboot.
Thanks
Thanks Goofy. I'm going to try radio v2.19 in the next couple of days. I don't find any option for cpu scaler in the battery status config. Maybe I'm using an old version?
I really do think part of the problem lies with check notifications. This morning I awoke to find I was connected to edge for 12 hours. I have it set to auto-disconnect after 2 minutes of inactivity. I turned of Exchange push and guess what?!?!? It still tried to sync a minute later. I just purged 3 dupe check notifications so let's see how that works.
BTW, Anyone know where activesync keeps its log? I set log level to verbose but don't know where it keeps it? Is that just the "status" page information that it keeps?
I always had this problem with my MDA and T-Mobile, regardless of ROM. It was especially frustrating when I missed a call for a job interview because of it. Since I have switched to AT&T (several months now) it has not happened again.
I flashed my boss' phone to WM6.1 a few days ago and he is having the same problem with missed calls and missed text alerts. I just upgraded the radio to 2.19.11 and will see where this goes...
I'm having missed calls as well. Actually... they are being logged as incoming calls! Or sometimes not logged at all. I've tried 2.19.11 and 2.25.11 radio only roms. I've tried removing htc dialer and disabled smart dialing. I have tried several wm6 and wm6.1 roms, all have the same results. I have missed calls displayed under sounds and notifications. I guess I going back to wm5... sadly, I've determined wm6 just isn't made for the MDA nor will it EVER work properly with it. I guess I'm getting a T-Mobile Wing sometime soon.
update: I've gone back to wm5 for now and no more missed calls. Some advice for those insisting on keeping wm6, the tmo boring rom had the LEAST missed calls of any wm6 rom I tried along with 2.19.11 radio.
I'm having pretty much the same situation with missed calls and no voicemail notifications. I'm running 2.25.11 radio, but have used this for a long time with WM5 with no problem. The problem started when I installed TNT.19199 on my T-mo Wizard.
Has the downgraded radio worked consistently for anyone?

2.25.11 worked great with WM5, but most radios miss call with WM6, except 2.19. Flash it on your phone and try it.
I found a solution... hopefully!
Alright, I hate wm5! So, i've gone back to wm6.1 and have finally figured this out. For me at least, it seems to be the GPRS/EDGE connection being active. If I disconnect, the missed calls are displayed. If data is connected, missed calls are logged as incoming calls and I get no notification. Sadly, to fix the always active connection, I've had to get rid of the exchange server and setup email manually. Also setting up a bogus server through activesync and setting schedule as "manually" should kill the constant data connection. I haven't figured out why this doesn't happen with wm5, this is so stupid! If this doesn't work for everyone, please let me know by posting your experience.
To disconnect gprs/edge automatically, use GB-SOFT Tweak. Seems to work while device is asleep too!
I'm going to bump this.
How is everyone doing with the 2.19.11? Any missed events? What rom?
I have been running this radio for a long time, shortly after i stepped into the WM6 world. Recently though after flashing the TNT WM6.1 (19199), I have been missing events, but it only seemed to start a fews weeks after the flash. There was one time where i missed events for an ENTIRE evening, it wasn't until the next morning when i soft reset my phone did the text messages and VM notifications start rolling in. i have also caught it a few other times.
It seems theres going to be no end to WM6 and the missed even problem, might have to upgrade to the 8525.
I'm using Jaguar 4.0 ROM (WM6, not WM 6.1) from here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=356683)
IPL/SPL 3.08
Radio is 2.71.11
Battery Status with CPU Scaler (min=143, Org=195, Max=260, boost=273).
Rock solid. No missed calls. Great ROM.
With
SPB Pocket Plus/Diary/Weather
Photo Plugin (kind of TMO myFaces)
Google search
VoIP
etc, etc, etc ... ~500 phone numbers
Free memory after loading 25.5M
I am running my own 6.1 cooking and am NOT having problems with missed calls. The codebase I'm using is '199 based.
I'm running 2.25.11 for the radio side and am happy with it.

Fuze - Bluetooth - Answering Incoming Calls

Hey Guys,
I have an issue with my Fuze and am hoping there is a simple setting that may help me out.
I have an Xlink Bluetooth gateway in my home, and have a Jag XK with bluetooth. Previously I had an 8525 where the bluetooth worked well.
I got the Fuze and I thought all was well. But for the last week, when I get an incoming call the blue tooth rings (houseline on XLink or XK Radio), but when I connect the call I get dead silence.
I can make outgoing calls via bluetooth and both devices work fine.
On the Fuze, if when ringing i hit answer on the phone, rather than the car stereo occassionally it connects.
Since I have the same issues (silent connection) when connecting via Xlink or XK I figured it must be an issue with the phone.
Any thoughts or ideas ?
Thanks
Dave
The issue is with Voice Command not with phone. If you update Voice Command to 1.6.19209 it will fix your issue. The other option is to turn off Announce incoming Calls option.
Update Voice Command
The phone has version 1.6.19971 --- So that would be a downgrade not an upgrade....
Does that still make sense ?
Dave
You've tested that specific version and it works? NATF said he tried his version from his Tilt and it didn't work. Please confirm!
Nice work!
You guys are really on it! I started noticing this problem today after enabling 'announce incoming calls' yesterday... didn't even occur to me. So I disabled it as per your suggestion, and it's working fine. Thanks very much for that. If I wanted to roll back to that earlier version, where could I find it? I still have my Tilt which I upgraded to 6.1 (battery's probably dead)... could I get the .cab off of it? Do we know for certain the earlier version works? Thanks again.
We were on it for a long time. You'll see multiple posts about that.
