Hello everyone,
I posted this question over at the q&a section but i figured out maybe I was in the wrong section that's why I'm not getting any replies.
Anyway, I'm having some slight problem with my Samsung Omnia. It's from UK's vodafone but it has been unlocked and everything. Just received it today,
When I tried to make a call with it, the screen shows "Dialing..." and about 2 seconds later, it changed to "Call Ended". This seems weird to me. I can receive incoming calls though, as well as send and receive messages.
I tried to check the network settings and everything seemed fine. Later on, I realized there is a weird icon on the top right hand side of my screen, as shown in the attachment picture. Might this icon be the source of this problem?
Thanks for any advice in advance.
No, that icon has nothing to do with it. Your NETWORK ICON at the top bar indicates that you have full network coverage, so, my assumption is the following:
Your OMNIA is from UK VODAFONE and I think that the people made some mistakes during the unlocking / unbranding. Maybe they flashed a generic ROM for unbranding purposes and the RADIO ROM is not compatible or corrupt. Try to reflash your device with the original shipped VODAFONE ROM first and see how it works, then take it from there and try to find the correct generic ROM for your particular device.
Thanks for your reply!
Had managed to flash it to a more stable rom and it worked! Thanks!
Anyway, am still curious, what's the icon for?
Thanks again Junner2003

I have also posted this thread on General Discussion, apologies for doubling up.
I have reflashed the ROM on my TyTN II to the HTC Windows 6.1 version downloaded from their site. Everything works OK, except the phone will not accept incoming calls and i am unable to make calls out. Since this the unit has been reflashed with approx 5 different ROM's from Duttys Series (Which i had on when i purchased the unit) but it still has the same issue. It has also now had a different radio version put on and the SPL reflashed. Even after all this it still says no to incoming or outgoing calls. The strange thing is, that it does register on Vodafones network and i get a full signal, but no 3G. The unit is not locked as i have run an unlocker on it as well. I can send text messages OK.
Please can anyone help me with this problem, i am completley out of ideas and unable to use my phone.
Cheers.
A) Double posting is against the rules of XDA.
B) This has nothing to do with ROM Development
C) You only waited 4 minutes between the 2 threads.
D) You have an answer waiting for you in your other thread.
Again, apologies.
I am a newbie to this forum and once i had posted my first thread i saw the ROM section and thought i should have posted here.
It won't happen again.
Cheers
Impending Closure!
OK, I've been having this problem for a good couple of months now. About half the time that someone calls me, when I hit the Talk button on my phone it just mutes the ringer and doesn't answer the phone. Usually I try the 'Slide to answer' deal, and that just slides over to Answer and still doesn't do anything. I know the actual button is fine, it works great, i've tested it over and over again. I've changed HardSPL, ROM's, Radio's, etc. and I still see the same issue. What is wrong?! or is anyone else having something similar at least?
So I guess no one else has this issue, at all, with any ROM, radio, etc.?! I guess there must be something wrong with my phone. That kind of sucks.

I had the same issue with my htc mogul. These suggestions worked, give it a try (i will NOT take credit for these great tips/found them by searching):
dial ##778#/EPST/Modem Settings, change the slot cycle index number to 1
and or if that didn't fix it...
Take a look at your HKLM/Comm/ConnMgr/Planner/Settings/SuspendResume
It is a multi-sz value and should be #777. If it shows anything like ~GPRS or
something containing GPRS, change it back to #777 and soft reset.
Once I changed it back to #777, I can answer the call immediately when data is on, time and time again. Prior to this, there was a significant delay.
Please backup your phone prior to making these changes...
Good luck...

Thanks for the help, I don't know if I believe any of that though. First of all, the # codes are carrier specific, I have AT&T, what's your service? These codes didn't work at all for me. Second of all, I mentioned that I've changed ROM's numerous times, along with Radios, etc. and I still have the same issue. Maybe this worked for you, but for me it doesn't. I've been trying some stuff recently, re-flashing SPL, hardSPL, Stock ROMs, and I'm hoping the problem goes away although I'm not that confident. I keep thinking it must be physical as my phone's "talk" button works perfect. Every time I try it it always responds appropriately, except when trying to answer a call. Beyond that, when it does screw up, it at least mute's the ringer, so I know it's responding somewhere.
I'm not sure what to do about this. Guess I'd better just wait it out for a TP2 and sell this one and forget about it. Could be due to bad blocks, I've had numerous problems in the past that I've been able to pretty much prove were a result of bad blocks in the phone's memory. Oh well, thanks for trying, although none of that works!!
I assume he has Sprint.
I have the same problem answering calls too, and I think it's because of the slidetoanswer dialer. I'm using xECK29x's 6.5 ROM.

Thanks for the input, I think I'm going to try a different dialer for a while and see if that solves the problem. I wouldn't be surprised if that's the issue.
While his codes may be different (I'm also with AT&T), he may be onto something... I have had the same issue, but after reading this post, I have been watching, and the times the phone prevents me from answering are when I have had some sort of data (browser, GPS, etc) open in another window.
My 2 cents FWIW

I have an unlocked euro touch pro and cannot answer a call by touching the onscreen answer button. It will continue to ring tho. I have gotten in the habit of just using the hardware answer key. I've flashed numerous diff roms and all are this way, even the htc updated rom from their site. The only one that worked was the oem rom preloaded on the phone from factory. Not a big issue to me. I just deal with it.
Have this problem with energy's Roms. If you are on his 3.0 still go into Start>Tweaks>Advanced Config. Scroll down to Phone, Click on Phone Skin then Disable it. The setup of the call is different. Be sure to re enter you voicemail for it is erased when you disable the skin. Worked for me. No problems here. BTW you must understand that any Rom you flash will not be perfect!
I also have the same problem. And i to beleve its the new dialer thing. will try and change it, although i realy like the way you can search a contact with it. The other one is just a litte to small i feel. Anyway thanx for a good tip.
I'm also running into the same problem. I'll try disabling the phone skin to see how that works out.
Thanks everyone for your input!! I was a little scared to see no one answer this is at first, but now I can see this is a common problem. The dialer has to be the issue here, I've been running a standard dialer (not the phone canvas) for a couple days now and it's been perfect everytime.

Hey, it worked! I can't thank you enough, as this has been bugging the heck outa me. My slot cycle index was already set to 1, but my SuspendResume setting in the registry was "GPRS_bye_if_device_off". I had gotten to the point that I knew my problem was related to having a data connection going, but I had no idea where to go from there, and had no luck when searching the forums for a solution. Now my phone answers almost immediately, even whan I have a data connection going. Thanks again.
Hi guys, i can't make a video call. I don't know what are the problem but i have done the setting accordingly. Did i have to go through the hard reset or i miss something else? Every time i make a video call, the message reply "3G network is not available". My phone display on the top bar "E" instead of "3G" even though my phone line is 3G. Please help me for this problem. Thank you
"Originally Posted by malvern
hi, its probably because you are in a area where 3G network is not available.instead you have edge (E).try in a different location where the 3g signal is available or try changing the radio.you dont need to hard reset, i would think. hope it helps."
Thank you for your points of advice, but i am in the area where 3G network is available bcoz my friend beside me using touch diamond and shows 3G and able to make a video call. So, i tried to upgrade my touch pro with WM6.5 and plus the latest version of radio rom and it really nice upgrading it but yet still can't reach 3G signal or make any video call. I hv go through and read the forum where there are few guys complaint about 3G and i did not find any points of solution of touch pro problem. Please do help me, thank you.
I'm not sure if this can help, but you could try the latest official ROM and radio, and see if it picks up 3g. Normally if you have the settings on AUTO, and you are in a 3g area, you should get 3g on the phone.
Good luck with your problem.
Hi,
in my case it was a matter of the SIM card. I had a very old one from 1994 and as my provider gave me a new one 3G was available...
Maybe this helps ?
Best regards
Thanks for the advice of changing my SIM card with the new one from the line provider n thats maybe the solution of my problem instead. But i hv not manage yet to do so. For all of the friends information, i hv been upgrade my touchpro with [ROM][WWE][14 Dec 10] Exquisite 4.24 WM 6.5 (23151) for Touch Pro [GSM] just a few days ago n hopping that can solve the problem of can't making a video calls. But it still regrets n i still can't make a video calls even though the radio version is 1.14.25.35. I hv been calling the line provider asking about the problem n the answer was maybe my phone has the problem. That was the very upset answer giving to me. So, i would like to get some advice of changing/upgrade the rom to |Dec 21|RAPH| .¸¸.·´¯`·.¸¸.-|Energy|21916|28244-Sense 2019/2.1/ Titanium since this rom seems to be the latest compare with the above mentioned. Furthermore under the description they was mentioned the "The 28244 Build that's the latest in the 6.5.3 series.....". Hope anyone can help me with this problem n thank you in advance.
Hello EveryOne:
I have been using this G2x as my second Android phone ever, the first one was HTC Aria..But before and for long years was Window Mobile man..LOL
I have changed the ROM after rotting and unlocking ,started with CM7 stable then moved on and have tried every ROM on this G2x android development forum.
The problem is, i have noticed after changed the stock ROM, that i can't receive international SMS anymore..,however i can send and receive delivery report(of course on tweaked Tmobile Stock ROMs only, as any CM7 ROMs or based ROMs having an issue for delivery report).
I have searched a lot here and there, till found one mismatching (incompatibility) between baseband (M660A...Jun 5) and RIL, even getRil software gave 4 options ,none of them matched with my baseband..
Have tried to change the baseband, of course failed..Tried every possible way..whether KDZ way or LG updater..
The only hope left for me, is that some one can give me the correct RIL for such basband
Plus i ahve to say, that any custom ROM would read the SMSC in very strange code..Not HEX one or even regular number preceded by (+) sign..
002B00310036003100330035003000300039003000300030
Can't update the SMSC, always gives me update error, even though with HEX coding of WIND SMSC number
But whenever get abck to WIND stock ROM, can read SMSC in normal way (+16135009000), but still can't update the SMSC by whatever way.And still no way to receive international SMS.
My entire problem, is i can send and receive local SMS, but international one i can send only and NO MORE RECEIVING(i was receiving before the flash at the first moment used the G2X)
Called the customer service and technical support of WIND thousands times, no one has an explanation for that..
Thanks afor your time and have wonderful day..
Go to your wind store and ask for a new simcard, I had the exact same problem before. They told me its due to some limitation to their old simcard. Once they give you a new simcard the problem will be solved, and just as they promised, i can now recieve signal again. In fact, my problem was way more serious lol. I couldnt even recieve signal, AT ALL. No matter where I went it is always a cross on the signal icon. And now everything is working perfectly again.
So yeah just go to the wind store, tell them your problem, and they shall give you a new simcard right away.
NO CHANGE
I have changed the SIM, still the same problem, i think something with SMS hidden options...Any kind of help...i have tried all the costumed ROMs...No way
Hi everyone,
I recently bought the phone from T-Dimension and it's having some issues and I was wondering if anyone could help me out or if they've run into something similar. The issue is I can't seem to send/receive any calls and I can't send/receive any texts. The bizarre thing is it works for the first 45 seconds when I reboot but then locks me out straight after that. The phone is issued from Hong Kong and had Color OS on it but I flashed CyanogenMod onto it, here's some more information.
- The phone is connected to Amaysim, which runs of the Optus network I believe, so it's connected onto the mobile network just fine.
- The Micro-SIM card I'm using is brand new, it's put in correctly into the slot, meaning upside down facing towards the bottom of the phone, so that's fine.
- I've tested the SIM with other phones and it works perfectly fine.
- When it locks me after 45 seconds, it fluctuates from saying, "Call Not Sent" to just it being stuck on the dialling screen.
- After being locked out, I can't receive any calls either, I've tried calling the phone but nothing shows up.
- After being locked out, I can't receive any messages either, when I try to send a message it just stays stuck in sending, and if I restart the phone, it just says the text failed.
- I've contacted Amaysim Help Desk, and they say my problems lie with the phone being locked, and I'll have to contact the manufacturer to sort it out.
- I've also contacted my supplier, who seems to have trouble finding out the issue.
- APN settings are set correctly with my mobile carrier.
- Already done a factory reset, didn't fix the issue.
- Put the preferred network type to 3G under Mobile Network settings.
- I flashed CyanogenMod 11S using this tutorial from youtube, /watch?v=QDKOEtN9pbo and downloaded the cm-11.0-XNPH22R-bacon-signed.zip file.
Please can anyone help me with issue, sorry for long wall of text, I really want this phone to work!
Cheers,
You probably should flash another modem & then try.Here

Hey there fellow Aussie. See link provided by other member, it should fix you up.

That modem actually proved to be worse for me.. Before I didnt have stable 3G connection.. that modem made my 4G connection worse too. The best, and most stable modem I have found thus far is in the latest nightlies. It is still very very very weak when it comes to 3G connectivity but its better than everything else I have tried. And believe me, I have tried pretty much every rom there is on this forum including XNPH22R, XNPH25R, MahdiRom, CyanHacker, and All the nightlys.
The only one I havent tried is Color OS because I am afraid it will lock my bootloader again.
