Can any rom developer fix the next FROYO bug? (Google bug number:11346) - Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]

This bug occurs on all Froyo roms (I tested it on:CM6, geo411m, evil, enomther, modaco and Google stock rom)
When I'm in a area with 0 signal (It means I cannot do any call) the signal status bar displays 2 or 3 levels, incorrectly.
I checked it on about 6 existing Froyo roms, on my Nexus One device and this bug occurs on all roms, includes the google official stock rom.
Please see the attched screenshot.
We tested it on some different nexus devices and it occurs on all these devices. My device version is Nexus One version: 110 (AT&T version).
Here is the screenshot of the bug:

I opened a new bug about it for Google, but can any developer fix it?

Can you(the members of the forum also mark the bug with star, in order to promote the priority of the bug?
It's absolutely impossible to work with an OS that displays a wrong signal status. You never know if you really have signal or not :/
I backed to 2.1 because this bug.
Thanks to all.

I think this is more radio then ROM related, and I don't have this problem on my Nexus one. No signal=0 bars.
But you could try to flash the so called Korean radio(see Nexus android development forum ), to see if that changes anything.

Hello Robert
That is normal even in old phones. It is not a bug!!!
That signal strengh is real and correct.
The explanation is simple, when your SIM card can not reach to any of the base stations (antennas) of your provider, we generally say that you lost the signal and you can not make any calls. BUT for emergency purposes, your phone connects to the strongest available antenna of other providers (again, only when you can not reach the ones from your provider) to allow you to make emergency calls. That is why (at least in europe) when we lose the signal of our phones, usually in 95% of the cases it will still say "Only emergency calls 112 allowed".
So the signal bars you get are in reallity the signal bars of the antenna you are connected to make emergency calls. So no bug and actually it is useful, it would make no good if you try to disable that.
You will not get any bars for the signal when you are not even able to make emergency calls.

Hi Bulltza,
Thank you very much for this detailed answer...I checked it and you right...
I still think this is not a good feature because when I am in a area with no signal and I see that there is some levels in the status bar, it confuse me and I don't know that I cannot get incomming calls.
anyway thank you for the answer.
YoMark, thank you too for your help

Its not really a bug man They only should add a icon or a notification for Emergency Calls Only. If u dont want this feature u are veryr stupid Emergency Calls! We need them

What's the relation to be stupid or not?!
It seems that you are the stupid here that didn't understand what I mean and call me stupid!!!!!
Did I write anywhere that I don't want the Emergency Call?!?! I wrote that it is impossible to work with an OS where you see that you "have signal" but in actual you don't know that you cannot get incomming calls.
Learn to understand and give respect to your colleagues instead calling them stupid and other!

[Q] Fake and undefinied call?

Hi,
yesterday I got a call, from undefinied number... that is very interesting - because at services from my provider I have blocked "calls from undefinied number", and in the billing list - there is no this call, also a man in the provider help line says that there is no this call. My phone says - call exist (1 notification, missed call). I don't have any "fake call" applications installed. Can u help my find it out? I dont know what I have to do, or is my phone secure...
Man on help line also says, that some phones have function - combination of keys, or just function from menu - that generates fake call, and then number is undefinied, because in reallity - noone calling. HTC Sensation have it? May I generate it accidentaly?
Also i can say that I've not hear any ring, or wibrations, but maybe I've been in another room, but this is quiet impossible.
Plase help - I'm little bit afraid.
And sorry for my english - I hope u understand
I had something similar to me happen the otherday, Had a call form an unkown number, picked it up and it went down straight away, seemed like some kind of software bug tbh, it happend as soon as my reception come back from no signal

[Q] Calls from 'UNKOWN' numbers getting blocked, resolution ??

Hi,
I have been using the Xperia custom ROM for quite some time now. I am very happy with the ROM overall but I have a big issue which I had with the original Xperia port as well. I am in UK. I don't get calls from unknown numbers. If I dial from mobile it comes fine. But if I dial from any landline where the number is blocked/private ( I used my office landline ), it doesn't even appear on my Nexus. But I can hear a very small ring on the landline I am dialing from and than it disconnects. On my Nexus S I don't even see a missed call, although it says - Data traffic disabled every time. And if the screen is turned on when I am calling on Nexus S if give the following error on screen- Unfortunately, the process com.android.phone has stopped. When I click OK, it just says Data traffic is disabled .
It might be a ROM specific issue but if someone else has faced the issue and know the resolution please let me know.
Thanks

[Q] Can't make calls or SMS - hardware or software??

My Desire S won’t make or receive phone calls or texts. My first thought was the radio, so I upgraded to ICS using the standard downloaded RUU, which includes a radio update. The problem is still there so its not radio related.
All other parts of the phone work 100%. It shows good GSM signal strength, shows the correct network provider details, has good mobile internet, wifi’s fine, the SIM is fine on other phones, shows that it is on GSM not WCDMA.
If I try to make a call there is a brief pause and then a beep and either:
It reverts to the dialer screen
or
The phone semi-crashes
or
The phone fully crashes and needs a reboot
If I try to send a text it reports that it can't be sent after a number of re-tries.
If I try to call the phone from another phone, it just says number not available.
I suspect a hardware fault, but I’m not sure. Is there a potential software fix for this?
Any help would be much appreciated!

Anyone else missing calls?

I'm having a bit of a strange issue. Not sure if it's related to charging or not, but I have missed at least 3 calls with no notifications only to get a voicemail notification. I believe the first two happened on the charger and the third just happened a little while ago definitely on the charger. Most calls seem to come through and my apartment can be a bit of a reception nightmare; however, my signal is always 3G at home to negate that and this wasn't an issue on my old phone. It seems that my device randomly drops onto a 2G not my network occasionally(Bell/Telus don't have 2G gsm towers, only Rogers). Roaming is disabled which would explain why I would miss the call entirely, but every time I check my phone, it's registered on the network it should be with 3-5 bars of signal
I get a lot of phone calls from work so it can be a bit frustrating... Thankfully they always leave a message. Anyone else missing calls?
Are you using a wireless charger? I've heard claims that wireless charging can interfere with signal. I can't confirm it for myself as I very rarely get phone calls, but I certainly haven't received any calls while wireless charging. I don't have voicemail either, so I could be in the same situation and not know it. :silly:
Yes. I am having the same issues of calls not coming through, but only being notified if a voicemail has been left. Though my issue does not just happen when my phone is being charged. I went into USCC and the associate could not replicate it as it occurs randomly. She called tech support and they could not come up with an answer. The associate when on to say it was the callers phones causing the problem and not mine. Yeah, right.
missed calls
I have a galaxy s6 active on AT&T and I'm experiencing the same issues. It has happened while my phone is not on or near any chargers. It also had full reception as I was in the same room as my AT&T microcell. My wife asked if I heard my phone ring, but it didn't when she called. She tried calling it while I was next to her. Her phone dialed and rang, but my phone had no incoming call. I also tried calling her right back, but it would not dial at all. I just purchased the phone and will quickly be taking it back to exchange for something else if I continue missing calls . Has anyone gotten feedback?
It happens to me. Usually when I'm in a building with a metal roof., but not always. It's random.

Me too
Just upgraded my S3 to S6 and I've been nothing but issues with missed calls. I'm usungOtter box case on my phone. My phone could be right next to me in the house or be in the charger and I'd miss the call. It never happened to me...ever in my house.
I haven't called Samsung yet for support. Not sure what they're going to say.
I had the same issue but it is rare. Updated my firmware helps with the signal.
Got a lot of missed calls on XtreStoLite 2.2 (see details at bottom) and sometimes answering calls not working too.
Was on a fresh original firmware before flashing rom.
I just updated to 2.4. Hope is related to Baseband Version. Will report later if still got same issue.

Same story with full LTE signal, wifi calling off. Incoming calls fail to reach my phone most of the time but outbound calls always work.
At my office a majority of my incoming calls do not come in... the people calling me report it "rings" 2 times and goes to my voice mail. The phone does not ring, show any notification a call is inbound, nor does it list the calls in the log.
Voicemail notification and SMS are the same story... I sometimes get a text message 30 minutes after it was sent by the person when the inbound cell stuff decides to start working.
Now if I make an outbound call, inbound calls and sms will arrive no problem for about 30minutes to an hour... but it eventually goes back to missing incoming messages.
I've gone through the agony of customer/tech support, switching on/off VoLTE, Wifi calling, call banning, Do not disturb, etc. but no luck. The phone seems to go into some suspend mode with the tower and nothing can get in .
95% of missed call issues are carrier based. You may want to talk to your carrier about putting in a network ticket or about getting a replacement sim.
That said, OP specifically, try putting your phone in safe mode when charging and see if it continues.
I forgot to mention this is a tmobile-branded device.
I was able to confirm that this is a baseband firmware issue (G920TUVU3D0I1) that incoming calls are missed and texts are substantially delayed after a certain amount of screen-off time. My original device and first replacement had this baseband version and had the same issue on two different sim cards.
The only solution is to get a device with the older baseband version (G920TUVU2COF8) which my second replacement had and has been working trouble-free ever since.
Patch coming to 5.1.1
Rogers just confirmed there is indeed a problem with the latest 5.1.1 causing the SMS and call issues and a fix is coming 11/16. We'll have to see when the other carriers push this out

Tmobile is rolling out G920TUVU3DOJ7 tonight, hope this is the same fix Rogers discussed on their forum
Before i start I'm not saying any of you are involved in any criminality but incase you are worried about your privacy/security in any way shape or form its worth considering what im saying, I'm sure you all know of ed Snowden revelations and you know that L.E. have the capabilities to remotely activate your phones mic. A friend of mine has been in this situation where when in a sensitive situation altough having full signal and in an open space and where not able to recieve any calls as the mic was already being used by some unknown entity. In these situations if my friend tries to make a call it doesn't go through the first try, it doesn't even go to answer service just cuts out. Next time he tries to ring out it goes straight away. Him making the first call cuts them off from listening through his mic. Things have then happened after some of these conversations that would have been impossible without the monitoring .
Again I'm sure none of you are involved in any dodgy dealings but it's worth knowing if your conscious of your privacy.

Calls On CM based Mods Are Always Unknown (Mongolia)

I am a huge fan of the CM mods and all its variants and I do not want to switch to another ROM. However, only on the CM mods to all of my incoming and outgoing calls show up as unknown. There is also an exclamation mark in the symbol that shows my service in the top right.
I live in Mongolia and all the calls are 8 digits long. If I add the country code (+976) it works fine. However, when people call me, it still shows as unknown.
I have searched everywhere, but I am not sure what to do. This is really a deal breaker, so please help me out.
Thank you
Sorry if I am posting in the wrong forum section.
