Occasional calls not connecting - Captivate General

so I love my cappy.
but sometimes, probably 1/10 or 1/15 calls I will hit call someone, It will say calling them, then a few seconds later it will not call them.... like it cant connect to the towers or something, this is when i have service... I dont really ever drop calls when im on the phone, but sometimes they drop before the call is made...
reasoning for this or fix?
THanks
JL3 modem if that matters.

Someone downloading torrents or streaming HD movies got priority over your phone call.

I'm sure thats not what happens

This is a tough one since I'm sure there are a number of factors that might cause this. I did however have a similar issue as you. I changed to a different modem and cleared cache and dalvik cache and it seemed to have fixed it cuz it has not happened since. I'm not sure this will fix your issue but it's worth a shot. Good luck

IM Now on JL2 I believe with same result. 1 out of every ten or so calls doesn't connect. How do I wipe those caches?

Just boot into recovery and select "wipe cache partition" and then go into advanced clockwork menu and select "wipe dalvik cache"

It might just be AT$T being crappy like normal. This has happened to me on a dumb phone, a BB and this. I have used a few different modems with the same results
Does this happen to yall every once in a while when someone calls it comes through but I can't hear them and they cant hear me like it actually isn't connected.

No, I don't recall the not being able to hear the caller or them me problem.

If I wipe caches do I have to reflash rom?

Have you tried JK4 yet? I've had good results running that modem. If you decide to flash jk4 wipe both the cache's again before you flash. If that still doesn't fix it maybe just try going back to stock and re flashing the rom again. If you haven't already done so, try installing sgs tools and using the secret code section to see what your band selection and gsm status is like.

Haven't tried jk4 yet. Tryed clearing caches, still did it today.

still not working? The only other thing you can do at this point is try going back to stock and see if the problem still persists. If it doesn't it might be a hardware issue.
There is a new Bell modem out that everyone is saying is pretty good, you never know it might just fix things for you here's the link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=876391 its the I9000UGKC1

Thanks. Ill try flashing a new rom later. If so then back to stock for a bit. Any more ideas?

Can't receive phone calls

Last night I flashed paragon RC6 and it seems to be a really sweet rom but now I can't receive incoming phone calls I can make them though when I get a call it starts to ring then I lose all bars. Im still kind of new at this so I am not sure if I should just reflash the rom or if there was a easy fix for this some help with this would be great. thanks

Sounds like a bad flash. Did you flash from stock or you flash over the top of a different rom? I would reflash do not restore system data.
Sent from my SGH-I897 using XDA Premium App
Guess I will just reflash it when I get home 2 nite And keep my fingers crossed that it doesn't happen again because I really like this rom
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA Premium App
Don't restore system settings if you did previously. That seems to be a common culprit for the problem.

faulty reboot command

my phone no longer reboots, I have to do it manually, anyone have any idea why?
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA Premium App
my phone is rooted
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA Premium App
Here's a similar but stranger question, why did my phone start rebooting? From day one reboot simply turned off the phone. And this continued through many changes of ROMs and kernels. It wasn't important to me so I never tried to investigate. But recently reboot actually started working perhaps coinciding with flashing CM nightly 34 or a theme, I haven't played with anything else. Really weird. Hope you get an answer to your question, have to say I'm curious to hear an expert response.
that actually worked! thanks

Anybody else's g2x refuse to hang up phone calls?

My phone has been ok compared to some of the reports I've seen, but I've been having issue ending calls. On about 50% of my calls, when I press the end button, nothing happens. I have to wait til the other person hangs up, or I kill all tasks with a task manager. Is anyone else experiencing this?
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App
Yup this happens with the majority of my calls as well.

What ROM are you guys running?
That doesn't happen to me but what does happens is when I want to listen to my voice mail and I enter my pin number it says its not valid even though that I carefully enter the numbers.

That has happened to me only once. I wrote it off as yet another example of the creeping memory corruption that afflicts this phone after it has been up for day or two. (I am running the stock ROM, unrooted.)
Running Faux's AOSP Nexus Rom and yes it happens to me as well, has happened on other ROM's as well though..
Happens to me many times, my phone is running on EB Froyo 1.0.4

Whenever it gets here
Wow this totally happens to me ...on every call!
I didn't think it was worth making a thread about it but now that I know its not just me... it seems every time I have to hit the end call/ stop button several times before it hangs up. Wasn't a deal breaker for me but it is annoying. I am running stock rom and rooted
"If Satan lived in heaven he'd be me... "
So I noticed that when you end a call there is a small zooming out animation. I was curious if the animation could be locking up the call. I turned off all animations and I haven't had a call hang in a couple of days. I encourage anyone who is having this issue to try it.

Mobile data problems still...

Ok, I know I have complained about this before but when I am connected to mobile data I do not get what I am supposed to get.
I don't get "H" "4g"or "3g"all I get is
"1x"and "E"which sucks because the speed blows.
All I would like to know if there is a fix for this because I have had 4g with the stock rom and now I am on cdma which is odd
I also cannot select a band when I go into the "*#*#4636#*#*"menu -> phone information -> menu button-> select band
What I get is a "select [unsuccessful] (whichever band) message and sometimes a force close.
I don't know what to do any more because I made sure that the apn settings were correct and that I was connected to a tmobile network provider
Someone help please help me
Thanks in advance, googleme1
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App
I would like to know this too because all I get is edge. If I reset connections, my phone picks up 4g and within a minute I'm back on Edge. It sucks. But what are the correct settings for above as I am using CM7 RC1.

Sorry that no one has attempted to answer your question. I've ran into this exact issue before. Redownload the rom and reflash it again. Once the phone boot up do not touch the phone for about 5-10 minutes! This step is important! Let the software settle in. Once its settled in then reboot the phone and then wait till your carrier (T-Mobile) pop up and then unlock the phone and depending on your area's coverage you shall now have 3g-4g signal.

T-Mobile is undergoing technical issues from a phone call I made over to them. They said that they are working on resolving the issue ASAP and that it should be within a couple of hours.

Your welcome and completely restart every single step you took to get the rom on the phone. That includes redownloading the rom and then reflashing it and just wait 5-10 minutes once it reboots. The reason why I say redo the step completely is because it could of been a bad download, a bad flash or just that you didn't give the software sometime to settle so to eliminate all possible issues do the whole step over completely!

Experiencing weird problems with my Tbolt

My Tbolt seems to have lost its ability to vibrate on calls, texts, notifications or whatever else would make it vibrate. Even when changing the ringer volume to vibrate it doesn't work like it used to. About 10% of the time it works. Also I noticed the back lights on the 4 capacitive buttons aren't lighting up when they should. They randomly come on and off sometimes. Is this a sign of some hardware issues and as a result do I need to get a replacement or can someone help me out? Thanks!

Assuming you're rooted, try another Rom. If it is still not working, then yeah it might be a hardware issue.
Also, WIPE everything. Format the system partition as well.
Oh and uh, GO CANES!!

For some roms there are options to turn off the lights for the 4 soft keys and also disable vibrate. So thats another possibility
