[TEST] HTC Messaging Fix (probably NOT!) - HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps

14/12: A few of us encounter the SMS sending problem again after applying the fix. So it looks like the latest messaging client found in ROM 1.61 doesn't fix the problem. Of course, I'm assuming that the problem lies on the messaging solution, rather than radio, as explained below.
Hi all,
It's probably a well known fact that HTC messaging has some serious bug, specifically on the reliability on SMS sending.
I've done a quick test, and noted that when the problem happens, usually the network is weak and the phone is undergoing through some network switching (e.g. from 3G to G in order to get better reception). This is consistent with the findings with some folks here.
However, I don't think this is the cause, I say it's a symptom, because network switching is common in any phone, and any reliable messaging app should be able to handle such scenario. On further testing, I noticed that when the problem happens, the messaging service that HTC developed to take over the entire messaging send/receive from Windows Mobile, would crash and won't be able to restart.
So this leads to my belief that the bug fix needs to be at the messaging service and/or the messaging client, rather than the radio.
Of course I could be wrong, but when I hear that HTC has released a new ROM 1.61 with new messaging client, I decided to give the new files a try.
Thanks to Steve0007, who had kindly forwarded me the files very quickly when I dropped him a request for the new files. So please try out this CAB I've put together, and let me know if you still get message stuck over at your end.
I'm crossing my finger!

not so fast dude. We need to monitor for awhile to see if the new version developed by HTC is indeed solving the problem. The best way to test is to go underground or into lift and see if you can send messages or not

checking it right now

just tried to install( to device), looks like its done and then i get a
"installation was unsuccessful. the programe or setting cannot be installed because it does not have sufficicient system permissions"
help?

Maybe you should try this:
1. Turn the HTC Sence off
2. Reset
3. Install patch
4. reset
5. Turn the HTC Sense on.

see if you can install after applying the tweak "Policies/Allow unsigned apps" using BSB tweaks app.
Btw, I made a test just now. I changed my SMS preferred setting to 3G (not via Advanced network, but instead HKLM\Software\Jataya\Messaging\SMSPreferredNetwork) and put my phone in a metallic enclosure so that I've no network totally. Then I send out a message to myself and I don't get any delivery report nor the message itself.
After about 10s, I brought the phone out, and then in less than few sec, I got both delivery report and message. So it looks like it's working well, but all these count for nothing if somebody reports otherwise. So your feedback after installing the cab is very much appreciated here.

Just installed on 2 decides, will test for a few days and report my feedback

fix, no functional

Not directly related to this problem but always something regarding HTC Messaging, I've sent an email to HTC asking to fix the long waiting time it takes to load all of your SMS within a contact. It could possibly be one of the following fixes:
- stop updating the list, add all the sms to the control, then re-enable the control: should work reasonably well, since opening a menu while htc messaging is loading sms forces this behavior - Instead of waiting for a minute while loading 300+ sms, you only need to wait 1-2 sec. - Nice improvement, still not solves the problem
- just load 10-20 messages, then put a button to show more.. problem solved.
They replied me telling they've sent the request to the "relevant department".

Not working for me, sorry

oops wrong thread, sorry.

no need, just stick to whatever setting you have. The whole idea is supposed to work regardless of whether you have chosen GSM or WCDMA as your preferred network. Hope it works

can you explain why it doesn't work? you still have stucked messages, or you can't install the fix?

Its working now, got replies from all people verifying receipt of SMS, but anything else i could to "strain" the phone into failing to send an SMS?

Okay,
I installed the cab no probs, then reset my sms options back to GSM prefered [default], soft reset, sent a message, that didnt arrive.
Turned the options back to GSM only, removed the cab, soft reset, sent a message and it was sent along with the one I tried to send after first installing the cab.
Hope this helps..

try killing jblend daemon and the corresponding sms inbox handler in the reg

at least i finally know i am not the only one suffering from this problem.... almost thought i got a faulty set. thanks for the patch bro!

after sending 7 sms, just tried sending an sms now ( 3 hours after initial sucess) and its stuck in my outbox...again!!!
success might juts have been luck, i havent send an sms in 1 week, and did 3 soft resets, 1 after installl bsb tweaks, one after installed SMS fix cab, and 1 more for good luck.

VZW Visual Voicemail updated for WM 6.5

Today I noticed a new Verizon Visual Voicemail download labeled WM6_5 version 1.1.12.9 whereas the original was labeled WM6_1.x x.xx
Slightly different interface, and no nag message regarding Bluetooth incompatibility (it might even work this time) and allows for Bluetooth as an audio option.
Perhaps this is a hint that WM 6.5 is coming soon to the Touch Pro 2.
-Sheldon
do you have a link..or how did you track this one down?
Here it is..
I went to http://mobile.vzw.com/vzstart/actions/links.do?targetUrl=APPLICATIONLINK&methodTocall=takeToLinks but the link only works from within Verizon using a Verizon handset browser.
I have attached it the latest cab.
I attempted to use it with my car bluetooth to no avail. The app still gives the "turn volume up" nag message. Still kludgy software, but it appears to work better with the TP2 as it does give you a method to adjust volume within the app.
-Sheldon
I'm using the 1.1.11.65 VVM version on a stock VZW 6.1 rom. Any idea if this new VVM version will work on WM 6.1? Thanks.
Disregard: I downloaded 1.1.12.9 and it works fine on WM 6.1, although I don't see much difference between 11.65 and 12.9. Still, the last 2 versions are a vast improvement over original!

Installed and Now Not Connecting to Network
I installed the link above and now when I start VVW I get an error message that it cannot connect to the network and asks whether or not I'd like to connect to my voicemail via *86. The specific error message is "No netowrk connectionis available to contact the voicemail server. Do you want to access your voicemail by calling *86 ?" The options are Yes or No. Answering either quits VVM.
I've done a hard reset, etc., and no joy. After the hard reset it did prompt me to enter my voicemail password.
Anyone see anything like this? I'm running NRG's 28014 Leo Rom (December 17) on my Verizon Touch Pro 2. Thanks for any ideas you might have.

I went back to the stock ROM and upgraded. Worked from there.
I'm now updating to Juicy R7, I'll see if it works there and post back.
Didn't Work under Juicy R7 or NRG Leo Dec 25
Didn't work with either alternative ROMs.
Worked fine for me on the latest official Mightyrom.
And I like the new button at the upper right for toggling between the earpiece and the speaker.

Are you all using this one a 6.5 ROM? I'm on Mighty Mikes and cannot get it to play through the ear piece with any consistancy. It always plays through the speaker at first. Sometimes later though, it'll play through the earpiece on it's own. Any ideas?
I have the same problem with mightyrom & verizon VVM where the message plays through speaker only. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated
Verizon VVM and Mighty's ROMS
I've tried the older and newer versions of Visual Voice Mail, and the problem I am having, besides the one where you can't set a default for ear speaker, is that whenever I select to erase a voice mail after playing it, the VVM software crashes and leaves the voicemail in the respective folder. Soon after I receive a funky looking text message.......>Weird................I may go to the 6.5 Stock ROM *IF* Verizon ever releases it.

The funny text message is usually intercepted by VVM and it is able to determine status I'm guessing from it - like new messages, etc.
I was getting the weird text message too, and noticed I wasn't getting a notification. I deleted VVM and reloaded cab directly from Verizon's website. Now, I get the proper notification with no weird text message. (FYI, I am running on the stock WM6.1 ROM.)

Easiest way is to get new version is to use your phone's browser and go to http://mobile.vzw.com/vzstart, click on "Get Apps" and Visual Voicemail is number 5, I think. I used "remove programs" to delete current version first before downloading and reinstalling new version.
VVM and SSS ROM not working.
Upgraded to the SSS ROM r2 and was unable to get VVM working. I have tried 12.9 and 11.65. Both give me the pop-up that a network connection can not be found, despite me sending/receiving email, browsing over either wifi or cellular. It did work under MightROM (1/10/10). Also tried going to the Verizon app store and that was sure confusing. No searches came up for me on my phone's browser and nothing similar was listed under the TP2 either.
VVM Now Working on NRG 6.5.3 Leo ROM
I now have Visual Voicemail working on the latest NRG 6.5.3 /Sense 2.5 Leo Rom for the Touch Pro 2. I've been disappointed in all of the custom ROM's I've been using because VVM would not work like it did on the stock ROMs.
I'm probably the last guy that figured this out, so I apologize if this is old news. To get it to work, I had to get SMS messaging working properly. It seems that all of the Sense 2.5 ROMs have problems with both SMS and MMS. When I bypassed the HTC Messaging (and used the WM default application) VVM worked fine.
Now, when I get a voicemail, the specially coded SMS message never appears as an SMS message, VVM automatically starts and downloads the message.
I'm using VVM 1.1.12.9. It works through the ear piece, with Bluetooth, everything. Much nicer than I thought I could ever expect from a custom ROM.
I suspect NRG was able to get some drivers from the newly released 6.5 version of WM that Verizon released for the Touch Pro 2. But that's just pure speculation--I have no idea why it works, I'm just thankful it does. In any event, these ROM chefs are amazing--I owe thanks to them for making my phone so much more productive.
Hope this helps.
How did you bypass the HTC Messaging? I applied an Verizon MMS cab before so I thought I resolved the MMS issue but maybe not. Thanks!
Update: Well, like of should of done in the first place, I googled disable HTC messaging where I found the Zenyee Disable HTC Messaging 1.2 cab. It disabled HTC's messaging and my VM triggered the Outlook messaging, opening VMM. Unfortunately, I still have the "no network connection" issue mentioned above. I will wait until SSS's r3 rom to do a hard reset afterwards and see if that resolves the issue.

Caller ID problem

Does anybody else have a problem with their caller ID? I am on t-mobile in the US and sometimes the phone number shows up, sometimes it says unknown. This happens randomly even the same person. One time, their caller id would show up, the other time it'd say unknown.
I'm on Tmobile USA as well and don't have any of these problems.
Maybe try clearing the contacts and sync them again?
Sent from my HTC VLE_U using XDA
I never had caller ID... Though I remember it was one of the "bonus apps" the icon of which was shaped like a gift box.
Given my repulsion to bloatware, I deleted it. Finally, frustrated with the whole lack of caller ID, I finally dropped $6.99 on White Pages Pro (or something like that). Now my caller ID is great and it adds the info if I want to make a new contact. Very nice.
Sent from my HTC One-S (rooted), stock ROM
Got a new one at costco...Same problem..wtf. Can it be the sim card or something? Any ideas?
So this is what I mean about the unknown caller ID problem. Unknown callers with a phone number is not the problem. The problem is unknown callers calling me with no phone number. And these numbers are not blocked. I asked my friend to help me test it for me.

This happens on and off WIFI calling and this is my second One S with the same problem. Kinda annoying because I don't know who to call back if I get a missed call.
I've been having the same problem. I took it back to the t-mobile store and they gave me a new one but after a few days the problem came back. I'm not sure if it's the phone or the sim card.

Yeah I thought I was the only one having this problem. I'm from around the LA area and no I don't have that app.
I also have the same problem. I am in Foxboro, MA. I called Tmobile and they are telling me it's a network issue. Supposed to be resolved in 72 hours. I'll post back with my results.
I seem to be running into the similar issue. I once resolved it by installing the Rooted nandroid available here, it had gone away so I re installed a custom rom but then after a couple weeks it came back? I read thru the forums that's it may have to do with facebook contacts? I'm trying out the new energy rom now, hopefully it clears the problem

Sweet. I factory reset my one s last night and haven't had this problem today. Don't know whether to attribute it to the reset or t mobile fixing their network. Either way everything's good so far.

I tried factory resetting my phone about a week ago but after a few days the problem came back. I'm hoping T-Mobile resolves this problem soon.
Try Factory Reset and also try clearing Cache/Data in the Phone Application Settings if applicable. Obviously, reboot afterwards.
I'm going to assume you are not rooted.
I did a factory reset as well, but still had the problem. I'll try to clear my Phone data/cache first and also try another factory reset today.
I spent an hour on the phone with Tmobile advanced tech support. They think it's a network issue, but haven't figured out exactly what it is yet.
Another thing, when I have Wifi calling on, my caller id works just fine. Really weird.
I did another factory reset today, didn't update any of the apps, basically didn't touch anything and caller id is still not working.
I am also on the latest OTA update. I wonder if that has anything to do with it?
I love this phone, just wish I could tell who is calling me.
So I've discovered a little more from testing this morning. Would be interested to hear if anyone else sees the same thing.
Reboot the phone with Wifi off -> Caller ID works -> Turn on Wifi and Wifi calling ->
Caller ID broken.
Reboot the phone with Wifi off -> Caller ID works -> Turn on Wifi with no Wifi calling -> Caller ID still works.
Looks like the issue might be related to Wifi calling somehow. I'll update Tmobile tech support and hopefully they have some kind of answer.
Ok so after hours of reseting the phone, the settings, wipping everything, re installing the Rom all this over and over, doing nandroid etc... I finally got it to show me the caller ID again.
It was weird because for a while I could get it to show it to me after a new install but then as soon as I'd reboot, It go back to the same thing.
Still confused as far as what is making it hide the caller info. I doubt it's Tmobile network because then I would imagine at least some other phones would have similar issues. then again I don't know because when it started again for me yesterday I was just driving on the road, no settings had been changed (although I had just left my house wifi)
its very confusing
well i am having the same issue. and i have Samsung Galaxy S2. my caller id shows as UNKNOWN

Thanks for sharing. I'm in the bay area in CA. I don't want to jinx it, but I haven't had this problem occur in 48 hours. But I have noticed that it occurs more when new numbers call you for the first time so I don't really know because I haven't had anybody new call me.

[Q] Whatsapp message delay problem

Nearly on every custom rom I have used, whatsapp is not working perfectly. My sent messages and messages I received are delivered very late sometimes. I do not use wifi sleep setting when screen is off, wifi is always on. And if there is no wifi, mobile data is on. When I reply a message, then the conversation is ok and occurs real-time. But if I don't touch the phone for a long time, incoming messages are not received instantly. And if I start a conversation my sent messages are not delivered for a long time (again sometimes).
Has anyone had this issue? And if it is common, can you propose a solution?
Don't have any issues on my phone.
Are messages still delayed when you use a different wifi connection? Is background data enabled? Have you tried clearing data and reinstalling?

Generally I suffer this issue on my home wifi. But sometimes it occurs outside with mobile data on. What settings should I check in my home wifi settings?
I flash a new rom with a clean install once in every two days. So I install whatsapp again when I flash a rom. I also tried to clear data, uninstalling and reinstalling. But it is no use. I have this issue for 5-6 months.
So the issue is with your home network? Is your wifi set to always stay on during sleep?
If there is such an option in your router, try increasing the bandwidth prioritization of your device. Also change your security to WPA if you're using WPA2 since it uses more advanced encryption algorithms and may be causing network problems with your device.
Bear in mind that the issue may also be with your ISP.

Wifi is always on during sleep.
I also checked the modem security, it uses WPA.
It is so annoying but I guess it is not fixable easily. Even whatsapp shows a warning when installing that says `on custom ROMs you can experience problems.` So I do not have a big hope but someone can come with a solution, so I will wait till then.
Whatsapp works perfectly fine on all of the custom roms that I've tried. Maybe your ISP is throttling Whatsapp traffic for some reason, perhaps you should call them and enquire.
Honestly though I still think there are too many variables. Does browsing on your phone work fast? Have you tried connecting another device with Whatsapp to your wifi?
I took part in an identical thread to this in the General forum a while back. I'm not even sure if the OP actually resolved his issue, but we became fairly confident that it was either his ISP or his network hardware causing the delay.

I know there are too many variables and I do not have a clue. I do not think it is related with custom roms. I specified it because I didn't use the stock rom too much and there is a warning when installing whatsapp with custom roms. But now I don't think that's the source of the problem. It is because of the wifi network or because of my ISP. My friends with Android devices also have this issue when they are connected to my home wifi.
Browsing on my phone is OK.

This is exactly the same problem I have. Thank you for the thread. I think it is a rare occasion and related with wifi settings or ISP. I will try to check router settings if there is any unusual setting and will report if any.

It's not supposed to be. I couldn't care less how many 'thanks' I get, but I am getting more and more pi$$ed-off by seeing noobs here who seem to be incapable of pressing the 'Thanks' button, but insist on typing 'Thanks' in a thread instead. Maybe the settings for XDA should be changed, so that until a new user has created 50 useful posts and thanked at least 10 times they have their 'noob' status removed?

I couldn't care less how many 'thanks' I get, but I am getting more and more pi$$ed-off by seeing noobs here who seem to be incapable of pressing the 'Thanks' button, but insist on typing 'Thanks' in a thread instead. Maybe the settings for XDA should be changed, so that until a new user has created 50 useful posts and thanked at least 10 times they have their 'noob' status removed?

Your in idiot. If i write thanks or hit the thanks button then you have been thanked. Stop forcing people to do things.
You dont deserve respect if you ask for it. Earn it, if you dont get tough luck.

I find it interesting that the OP had absolutely no problem with me posting what I did, and yet you felt the need to come out of the Sensation forum just to stick your oar in

The 'THANKS' button is there to stop people filling up threads with useless posts and to stop you getting modified of a new post in a thread unnecessarily.
Unfortunately newbies don't seem to realise its existence and a subtle reminder often helps. Given your stats you haven't taken much part in the XDA community, but how many times have you been notified of a new post in an interesting development thread and when you went to read it you found it was just someone who had posted 'Thank You' instead of pressing the button?
If you've got a problem with me, next time bring it to me on PM where it should be :banghead:
P.S.
'You're' not 'Your'
'an idiot'
'I' not 'i'
'don't' not 'dont' - twice
i think the problems here is the 'deep sleep', when the phone is in the deep sleep, most of the application not running(just guessing)

Hey. What's going on here? Relax lads.
I use Whatsapp on custom Rom Pacman v19.3. Most of the time, it is functioning normally, but sometimes, I get a delay also. I didn't figure out yet when this happens.
I solved the problem
zihinsiz said:
Nearly on every custom rom I have used, whatsapp is not working perfectly. My sent messages and messages I received are delivered very late sometimes. I do not use wifi sleep setting when screen is off, wifi is always on. And if there is no wifi, mobile data is on. When I reply a message, then the conversation is ok and occurs real-time. But if I don't touch the phone for a long time, incoming messages are not received instantly. And if I start a conversation my sent messages are not delivered for a long time (again sometimes).
Has anyone had this issue? And if it is common, can you propose a solution?

Hey dear, after reading the thread, I decided to reverse the setting from Always to Never !!!
Perfect, whatsapp is now very fast or immediate !!!
Try your luck, change settings to Never and if you succeed, plz reply.

[HTC U11] No Audio (both ways) during calls?!

I'm at the end of my rope here and I'm loosing patience with this very strange problem:
Some time ago, I received a HTC U11 from a friend. Since I came from a impenetrable (AT&T locked) Samsung Galaxy S7, I didn't bother testing the U11 before tinkering with it. I missed the freedom of a custom OS so much, that I just wanted that back again. So I don't know if the phone had worked with the originial software on it.
Naturally and right away, I unlocked it, flashed TWRP (3.6.1_9_0) , LineageOS 18.1 (2022-02-19), as well as Magisk (v24.3) and a core version of the GApps (NikGapps Core ARM64 2021-05-01) as to bloat my system as little as possible.
Now, everything seemed to be in working order. I can install and use any app like I would normally. Strangly enough, I can even send and receive speech messages in WhatsApp (haven't tried any other messenger app though).
However, if I try to make a phone call (through 3rd party apps like WhatsApp as well as "classical" phone calls alike) there won't be any audio, in neither directions from either source. Can somebody just...... I'm not that much of a noob, usually, so, HOW?
Starting out, I had another issue that a call (incoming or outgoing) would not be visible even in the task manager. I could solve the issue by reapplying a "special permission" to the phone app so it was allwed to pose itself on top of the other layers. Still, there was no audio - so could it have something to do with permissions?
Or am I missing an important (background) up with the core version of the GApps?
What I've tried so far:
- All the wipes up to and including a complete factory reset.
- Superficially checking, if I missed something during installation (nothing immediate springs to mind).
- Trying a different phone app (contacts+).
- Checking permissions of phone app.
- Trying loudspeaker and normal speaker settings.
- Using a land line to connect to my phone to check if there's any audio in either direction.
- Banging my head against the wall...!
Please help me find the reason behind this issue. It's just completely non-sensical to me that I can send and receive audio messages but my audio doesn't work during calls in both ways.
I have that same problem.
I tried 5 different custom roms, I tried the kernel, it didn't work.
everything is working, only the sound on the phone call is neither going nor coming. same as normal earphone with bluetooth earphone.
audio recording in video recording, music working, microphone recording sound, but no sound in calls. There is an imei signal, but there is no solution.
Even emergency calls have the same problem.
why could it be?
Thank You for replying, OnlineBeyin!
And here I thought, I was completely alone in this. At least there's someone out there sharing the pain!
Well, here's to a strage new Problem.
In a funny way, I love this about digital technology; it never gets boring - as soon as you'd think you've got your stuff figured out, along comes a curious problem you've never heard of or even expected to be possible.
I havent found a solution yet but having someone with the same problem gives me hope, maybe together we can work it out.
I don't think it's about the custom ROMs since You tried five of them to no avail. What do You mean by "trying a kernel"?
I've come to terms with it since I kind of enjoy the silence that not being able to answer calls has provided, but there is some other strange behaviour that might hint at a possible solution I have not yet explored:
I've taken a look at the NikGApps package I was using (core) and I've realised that
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I might need the basic version, since the core version does not provide an obvious dialer (What does "AOSP" stand for?) nor "Google Carrier Services", both of which seem quite important for phone calls.
Now me being a rather lazy fellow by nature, I thought I could just install the basic version over the the core version. In doing that, the clock app stopped working. I don't know why but opening it leads to the app crashing.
I've just seen Your post so I wanted to reply first rather then try a bunch of stuff and keep you waiting for an answer, but that's where I'm at.
So this strange behaviour (not being able to open the clock app) leads me to belive that...
<TL;DR>
Could there be an issue with different versions of programs running in the background?
(My point being Android is basically a customized version UNIX which has some similarities with Linux with which I have some modest experience with.
There I've experienced such issues around the OS telling me (paraphrasing) "the thing You want won't work like that because it is dependent on something that cannot be resolved automatically. You gotta have this version of that other thing to talk to that version of yet another thing and you have to solve that first. Then it'll work.")
So, long story short,
just to rule out this source of error, the next thing I'm going to try is to make a clean install with the full and original Version of GApps just to see if it'll work and go from there. If that won't help, I'll find out if there is something like the bash terminal from Linux just so I can see what the phone is doing exactly.
I hope this helps, if at least to spark an idea from somebody, anybody else!
I really want to get this phone working at some point, if only for sustainability's sake!
hi mate, still having the same problem...
Here's what I've tried and what I'm sure of
I tried turning off features such as google assistant voice listening and it didn't work.
I tested multiple microphones in the device with hardware test programs and the speaker that acts as a handset and it works fine.
The device is calling the other party, sending sms, just because there is a voice exchange problem, I have no doubts about imei etc.
It's purely a software issue. it's so clear
The first thing I would try would be to go back to the original rom. I haven't tested this before.
I also think that the device may have different criteria according to different countries, so there may be a conflict. But I don't think I made a lot of mistakes, to be honest.
It's very important to me that you share your every attempt.
I really want to operate this device. It's my favorite device.
In the meantime, I opened the device and tried to change the transmission films. I tried changing the bottom charging port. These are not solutions.

I had the same Issue with the sound in Calling etc... , this is a Problem with the DSP and when you use a CustomROM than use LineageOS_18.1-for_OREr_PIE_firm_with_DSP_patch-monthly_builds and after install ROM you must Flash this HTC_U11_DSP_TWRP_Flashable_OREO_2.33.401.19_install.zip that Fixes my Audio Problem and its work fine.
when you would more you find it here, HTC U11 - CustomROMs all with DSP Patch
Happy new year, everyone!

With great pleasure I'm here to announce:
Can confirm this works! Just tried it today, the patch straightforwadly fixes this issue.
I had to skip the integrity check in TWRP to be able install it, but that should be obvious.
I already lost hope.
All the thanks and all the glory definately go to System23!

Question Cracking/squealing between phone call

Hi.
Today I ported all my things from P5 to P7Pro and I noticed a very annoying thing.
In every call, after a minute or two there beggins cracking/squealing, like it's a bad connection.
I updated the phone to the latest Android version (screen in att). I tried restarting, with another SIM but the same ...
No problem at all on my P5.
Anyone else facing that?
I'm really disappointed that this disables the basic use of the phone and I don't even know how to start reporting a bug considering I'm using the phone in an unsupported country. :/

Strange one, not something I have nor read anyone else having. I'd suggest you have a faulty handset if you have tried another sim from another sim in it (presumably from another provider).

Do you have clear calling enabled? Not sure if it would make a difference, but I did see one or two people report that their connection was worse with it, although for most I think it's better. Not sure they reported crackling/squealing though.

Hello I have the same issue with Italian PosteMobile.
Where are you from?
It starts after 5 or 6 minutes in call.
Same phone but with other operator I have no problems.
Is your operator a virtual one? Full MNVO?

Hi!
Not so great for you and me, but great that I'm not the only one.
I'm from Slovenia.
Hm, strange, so something with operators u think? I'm on Telekom Slovenia, so biggest national operator ...
Idk but I know someone that works for my operator and they will try to understand what's the problem, in theory...
I'm also thinking opting in Beta Android to check if a newer rom fixes the issue.
If I have news I'll post here!

Hm, today I had zero issues up to now.
Yesterday in the evening I took out my primary SIM card, cleaned SIM slot with air pressure ...
I keep fingers crossed!
Same issue here but I only get it after exactly 20 minutes of calling. I'm using kpn Netherlands with a esim . I migrated from pixel 5 also with esim on same provider. I must note that after I disabled 2g calling from the settings that not all calls have the issue anymore.
Same problem here in Portugal after 15m in a call.
I must say that now after testing a couple of days with the 2g slider turned off, 90+% of the calls go without big audio issues. Only sometimes 1-5 seconds long distortion of some kind is left
Hello, problem still present after many updates and now on last beta.
Probably most of you solved it by switching to another operator, but I can't.
I opened an issue in Android Bug Report and discovered through logcat that there are some duplicate received frames.
If you suffer from the same issue I kindly ask you to post in this official issue link to let Android developers know that I'm not the only one with this problem!
Google Issue Tracker
issuetracker.google.com
Take a look to my answer number 6 to see the logcat :
On a Windows PowerShell:
adb logcat | find "F1:ERR"

If the problem remains unsolved I will sell my Pixel 7Pro, I can't work with this issue (and cannot change operator as it is the professional on that gave me my employer).
Thank you!
Same problem here
Hello, as of today nothing changed, just updated on beta 13 (T2B2.221216.008)
Annoying...
Same problem here!
After about 8 minutes of calling with Postemobile operator (Italy), the call starts croaking! More and more often I receive text messages from people who have looked for me, despite the fact that the phone was always under excellent signal. Postemobile still has VoLTE not enabled on Pixel7.
