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...

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.
Hello there!
I have a HTC Diamond, currently running Dazza's 6.1 final, but I can reproduce my problem with other Roms I tried the last days, too. So this is
a) a windows mobile issue
b) an O2-Germany (my provider) issue.
The problem:
With *104# I can query the status of my booked addons, for example remaining free SMS or remaining internet traffic.
When I call *104# there comes up a menu where I choose '1' to go to status information. After that I can select my packet ('1' or '2'), after that I have to enter '1' to get to detailed information. The detailed information is just an info-popup from Windows Mobile (not the USSD menu window from before) which closes/hides itself within 0.5 seconds or even faster - I cannot read anything on it.
Anyone has an idea what to do? Is there perhaps a custom USSD application? (I did not find one). Or maybe some other person who can try this out? I have O2O prepaid, when you have postpaid this seems not to work (some friends of mine tried...)
I captured a small video to show the problem:

Thank you for help!

I just wanted to add that "normal" status queries (*101# for prepaid value for example) work. I get the result in a popup as the one that is disappearing in the video, but it stays until I press okay.
Any ideas? Thank you
hello
strange thing
the problem is that when somebody calling me - i can`t see the number.
So i have no idea who`s calling..
It happened before, but now it seems permanently ;-(((
any idea how to fix that? Anybody has the same?
Looks to me like problem with caller ID.
I suggest you try setting options for it with Schap's Advanced Configurator.
BTW, what ROM are you using?
I really waited for ICS to my Nexus S. Finally I updated it was ok but then the problems start to appear...
First was with the dialer and the phone log. After receiving a call in the phone log there is only number when there should be the name of the recent caller. Sometimes there's a name and sometimes only the numbers. Same problem seems to be with sms but thats not so common. When I get sms there's only number of the sender when there should be a name of the sender.
Second was problem with 3G connection. My Gingerbread worked good I was in love with it. But after installing ICS I couldn't connect to internet with 3G connection. It allows me to send pictures and receive them and it uses 3G but internet browsing seems to be a huge problem.
I have tried every options and there was no help. Anyone else having same problem? Anyone have a solution?
Hi all,
Just wondering if anybody knows of a way, if possible at all, to set wifi calling to enable based on location. Similar to the smart lock feature. While I'm at work, the wifi doesn't allow for wifi calling, so it messes up sending picture messages and other things. It's a pain, because in order to get picture messages to work a gain, I have to turn off wifi calling, restart my phone and then hope that that fixes it. I try to remember to turn it off before I get to work and then reenable it when I get home, but it would be nice if it would toggle on it's own.
There is something called Tasker that let's you do this. It's found in the play store. It's a little complicated to use at first, but there are many guides and premade scenarios you can use.
