We need more info than that. What Rom are you running? What was your data type (E, 3g, 4g?) and signal strength?

Stock ROM, rooted.

Occasional calls not connecting

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?

Doesn't do it on stock. Tested it for a day, probs 30 calls. So any ideas? I contacted rom dev.

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.

That might of been what I did wrong then Cuz I keep getting a message saying android email is force close also

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

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!

Unless 2g mode is enabled by mistake. Did you check? Its in settings, wireless and network, and then mobile networks.

Network mode problems after cm10 and sim switch

I'm using an infuse 4g with JB 4.2.1 cm ROM. I unlocked my phone and put in a T-Mobile prepaid sim.
I'm supposed to have 4g consistently but I'm getting 2g(edge), 3g(umts) and on very rare occasions I get 3g(HSDPA)... Its approximately 70%-%20-%10, respectively. And these changes are all happening in the same household. No tower switching.
I only have the option to switch on 2g only in my network mode settings on cm10... APN settings are correct and all T-Mobile can say is that I won't get 4g if the tower doesn't support it..
Are there any possible solutions to obtain 4g at all?
If so, how do I keep it on all the time?
Do I need to install a new modem?
If so, which?
Any comments and/or answers would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

Using Uckl2 at the moment. FYI.
Also, I know the modem is for WiFi but does it affect carrier data? If not what can I change to affect my data connection?
Sent from my SGH-I997 using xda app-developers app
I always thought the opposite. I thought modems were only for mobile data. But does switching modems help?
Sent from my SGH-I997 using xda app-developers app
Could increase or decrease your signal and rate at which data is downloaded and uploaded depending on your modem of choice. Battery life is also affected minimally (usually).
Sent from my SGH-I997 using xda app-developers app
Hmm, didn't know that... Well thanks for the lesson but have you tried switching modems?
Sent from my SGH-I997 using xda app-developers app
I switched through a couple and uckl2 seems pretty stable but no change on carrier network service.. I want to put on kl3 but I can't find the download.. Not too many options for my phone though.. That I know of.

It might just be your location.

Since I changed to cm10 and switched to T-Mobile sim I have yet to have 4g. Tried where I'm at now and up to 70 miles from here... Very weird. I can't tell if its T-Mobile or the ROM.

Have you had it before on the same phone? Have you tried using another 4g phone?

Yeah I had 4g on it before, on att and on metro. Both while using stock Froyo rom and GB aeon rom.

Weird, it sounds like its the network then
Sent from my SGH-I997 using xda app-developers app
Yeah that's what I'm thinking but when I called T-Mobile, they said that they cannot diagnose a non-tmobile phone. The only info that they can give me is that they assume its my location and possibly the modem but they cannot guarantee switching modems will work. Doubt they hack phones though, Lol
Sent from my SGH-I997 using xda app-developers app
from my recollection..not from experience:
T-mobile or networks other than AT&T will only give you: edge or 3g.
No 4g or hpsa+
to get better than 3g, you need to be on AT&T
When the phone is on "H" I ran a speed test and its pushing 5 to 7 mb download speed. Is that close to 4g?
Any advice on how to stabilize the network?
