[Q] problems with calls - Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development

i have 2.3.5 vodafone rom on a carrier locked vodafone branded i9001 and i have problems with calls.
randomly i cant hear the person im talking to and 3-5 seconds later the call drops. i can get it like 10 times a day or at all.
i tried 3 different roms and same thing happens! could it be a hardware problem, or is it an app that does this?

Maybe....
Hmm... It may be HW since you did try to use multiple FWs.
Before going into service, try running on GSM ONLY! I see that I have bad service in a certain spot in my house (1-2 bars) while with a Nokia 5800 I have no problems. It may be the radio in the i9001.
I hope it helps.

Calls Being Dropped!!?!?!

Hey guys, for the last week my phone has been dropping calls, sometimes when i answer or even in the middle of a conversation I don't hear anybody on the other side all i hear is my voice being echoed back to me.
Getting frustrated.....should i install that new radio that has been floating around, maybe that will solve the problem?
Rom: Dutty's DualTouch V2
Radio: 1.27.12.17
I've been running this setup for at least 3 weeks now.
Thanks for any help.

Since Wednesday, radio 1.27.12.32 no longer works for T-Mobile in Norcross, Georgia area. I tried on both Kaiser it didn't get signal. But other radios got full signal.
well that sux...wonder if that thing works up here in Canada.
anyway, I think this is a rom issue not a radio issue.....just a hunch...but still hoping to hear some feedback and hopefully a solution.

Funny you should say that, I've experienced severe signal loss with 1.27.12.11 in Tampa, Fl. that same day.
I switched to 1.27.12.32 & all is good ... but, I am on at&t.
Something is definitely going on.
umvagia0, switch up your radio till you find one that works for you & it's not a ROM issue!
i'm on att in the new york area and was haveing a similar problem. tried a couple of different radios, finaly tried .31 and have useing it for 2-3 weeks. the problem is not totaly gone but is a heck of a lot better. out of 100 calls 20 will drop and i know 1/2 are att problems (dead spots). hope this helps
i think it is something with at&t network. My dads phone is bone stock and his would loose signal completely. And now mine with schaps rom and 12.32 radio is being weird as well. i get singal but no calls come thru and sometimes i cant dial out. So this is what i did i just shut off 3G and bam my problem is fixed. This only happens in our house and other thing i have noticed is if left on automatic phone keeps cycling between 3G and regular network and it never did it before.
So after 6 lines of *****ing my conclusion --> its the at&t network
ditto for me in the SF BAy Area. Got Q's Rom with the latest ATT Radio.. was fine for a week or two then this past week i've been dropping calls, extended connection times (seems like the phone hangs but actually just waiting..), and having intermittant issues with data as well.
thought it was the radio too.. but it seems like ATT??
My fiance with a ATT Samsung 'sync' is having dropped calls too.
Well, I'm glad i'm not the only one with this problem. I'm not on the at&t network, i'm running it under the rogers network up here in canada.
I switched radios to 1.27.12.32 earlier tonight....hopefully that will work out a little better for me... i'll keep u posted on it.
thanks for the help.
it could be the bluetooth problem??? are u using bluetooth when the call drop?? cause there is a bluetooth fix patch for it to fix the call drop problem during a bluetooth call

Impossible to find a radio w/out dropped calls- T-mobile UK

I have tried so many different radios with Dutty's latest 6.1 rom, and all of them continually drop calls. IS there a a Rom & radio combo that works efficiently in the uK?? I mean, dropping calls is a deal killer no matter how fun these roms are??
I have never upgraded to the 1.65 terror radio yet, and plan not too. Just looking for advice as thread searching has not worked out so well. Right now I am on 1.58.16.27, the last 1.58 had no GPS, but both drop calls within minutes.
Any advice appreciated
Have you tried the 1.64.08.21?
trying it now
will report back tonight!
phone rings, data & gps too: NO SOUND
Another disastrous radio. What is wrong? Could it be this rom?
same here, sometimes, only me could hear the voice from the other end, but they couldn't hear me, it happens after several minutes talk. some times, it disconnect from beginning, hell of it. 1.64.08.21
dropped calls are usually due to the phone service. How many bars are you picking up in your area? If you have 1-2 bars, I guarantee you will get a lot of dropped calls. If you try a stock T-mobile Vario III rom, do you get better possibilities? If this is the case, you might have to play around with the operator settings. I always get dropped calls in my house because of the low reception. I live in an area sorrounded by a lot of hills, so it's difficult to pick up certain coverages. When I go to work on the other hand, I never get a drop call. Hopefully this info can help you find a better solution to your problem.
had the wrong radio
I was using 1.65.14.06=disaster, let's see what 1.64.08.21 does. will report back
My mistake, please delete.
No Problems with UK T-Mobile here
I am have only recently upgraded my trusty Hermes (Vario II) to this Kaiser (Vario II) and here in the Swindon area and during journeys in the car have had no problems at all. In fact this Kaiser phone is far clearer that the Hermes ever was - I have tried 3 radio ROMs and all are great. I get a useable GPS lock within 30 secs without running GPS test too.
So I cannot agree with your comments about T-Mobile and the radios - could it be some other software that you are using? Is the radio poor as soon as you have the new OS ROM and new Radio ROM?
I use T-Mobile UK and I don't have these issues either. I have tried lots of ROM's in the last few weeks and all have been fine. I get the occasional "I answer the call but can't hear them" but I get that on my Imate 8150 also, so I think its a reception issue.
I'm currently using Laurentius26 V4 ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=389915 and radio 1.64.08.21 included in that ROM. The ROM is very good indeed, fast and stable, and the radio is as good as any I have used. Perhaps you had a dodgy ROM flash mate?
So far 1.64 08 21 : Data, GPS, & Voice work
Just need to wait a and try a bunch of calls to see if they stick or drop.
I am glad that radio works so far for you. Hopefully that one won't give you any problems, it seems to be one of the most stable radio's out there.
Hey up there, I have been using NoThrills Rom W6.1 with 1.65.14.06 radio, had no problems at all, good GPS and good battery life. The rom is quick too, and I'm from the UK
No probs here.
im on t-mobile uk.using 1.64.08.21-no problems,good gps,good signal... i had before 1.65.XXXX and i had problems with droped calls...

T-Mobile network disconnection

Hi all,
First time poster, long time lurker I'd just like to say thanks to everyone in the community. You guys rock.
That said, I am having a minor issue with my G1. I have T-Mobile & my phone is SIM unlocked (I don't know if that would make a difference) and currently running JFv1.5 with the latest radio (2.22.19.26I). The problem is that when I disconnect from a wireless network, my data connection to T-Mobile doesn't pick back up. When I go into Call Settings / Network Operators I let it search for networks and sometimes my phone will have to Re-Register on T-Mobile and other times it will say that its already registered to T-Mobile but the data connection still won't work. The only thing I've found to solve that is a reboot of the phone.
This has happened a few random times when I was on RC33 and one of the Haykuro builds but it has become more frequent since I've updated to JFv1.5. Also, I dunno if it helps to mention but I went to a T-Mobile store earlier this week & swapped out the SIM card with a new one and have gotten the same results.
Is anyone else having this problem? I've searched to no avail and was curious. Thanks.
dissconnect
That's just typical crappy T Mobile service have the same prob here since I'm not close to a T Mobile tower when it loses web access it dumps the connection to reconnect
So that's it? I should chock this up to my carrier's signal being ****ty in random places? No one else has had this issue at all?

I am having this issue. Never had a problem until I updated the radio to the latest version
I have had the new radio since the JF build with cupcake. My signal was great until yesterday. It will go from the lowest to highest in the case of the bar. When I reboot my phone it takes much longer to connect to the network. BUT I think my issue is with the fact my market (Columbus, Ohio) was rumored to get 3G by this june. So I am guessing its just TMobile doing the upgrades and whatever they need to do to impliment the 3G rollout.
lately ive been having horrible service. dont know if it has to do with the new LX being released.
Hi,
I am on 5.02h and was having random disconnects on .26 radio.
I went back to .22 saffaire radio and my connection is more stable now.
I am not sure if others have experienced this as well.
I have flashed my phone yesterday with latest from Haykuro with CUPCAKE. (NO SD APPS)
Phone is running a little slower and I started having the issues with the DATA connection.
In the middle of the Web page loading, the phone looses data connection and I am only left with ability to use voice. The data connection comes back in a few minutes and same thing happens as soon as start using the data connection again.
I do not know if previously stable connection at my location all of a sudden became bad or the new build is causing this.......
just to add
Not to dissenlighten people here but t mob has crappy serivce to rural areas. I myself live in brunswick md usa. I have had. 2 bars since I first got this phone with rc30 with constant dumps to no signal all the time when it upgraded to rc33 still the same thing. Then I rooted my to jf rc33 still the same thing. After that I used jf 1.5 and it still craps out. When I go 20 mins to the north to frederick,md I get full bars and no dissconnects so if it where a radio issue there would have been some kinda difference between radio updates. I myself am a ham operator so I should know how radio signal works so when I chock it up to t mobs crappy service I do not do this lightly since the nearest tower is 20 mins either way from me. People need to stop blaming other peoples builds for this issue since the radio update is from google. If I pop a att sim I get full bar and no dissconnects cause the tower they use is closer that's how I know it's a t mob problem not an issue with the radio. Remember troubleshooting is the best way to see where the problem is. Till t mob puts up more towers and fixxes the packet loss to the phone to remedey this then we will all have crappy service which does not seem to be in the near future for anyone.
I had a similar problem when I was on stock RC30. I called in to tech support and they set up a new APN on the phone so it would switch back to EDGE faster if I lose the wifi connection. I would suggest if you're not around stable wifi, just turn it off.

[Q] Cellular phone connection dead from one minute to the next

So...
I am running my phone rooted, but mostly stock (just some removals) with ROM 1.53.401.2 and he 0.15.3150S.19_10.31501S.06L baseband.
Its been perfoming fine ever since so I never bothered to upgrade to a custom ROM or the newer basebands.
Its an EU unbranded phone. As of tonight, with nothing special done to it it seems to have lost all cell reception. All I get is An x where the 5 bars are. Funnily, when I turn of my WiFi router and select wireless internet, I can get online and download data through the cellular inetnet connection. But not a single call or SMS will go out.
I have moved to like every location in my apartmant and outside and nowhere I can even get a single bar of reception or even a call through.
Does anyone have any idea WTH this could be, what could have caused it? Any ideas on where to prod and poke for a solution?
Mine did that for the first day after I put a non-stock ROM on it...hasn't done it since. I took the piece that covers the SIM card off and popped it back on. I don't know what causes it though.

Signal drops since 4.2.2

Hi everyone.
I owned a Nexus 5 one month ago, but unfortunately, it does not work as expected. On 4.4.0, I had multiple issues concerning network already (unable to switch to 3G networks only, very variable HSPA signal reception (from 4/4 bars to Edge exactly at the same place), ...). This issues were supposed to be fixed with 4.4.2 and most of them are, excepting HSPA signal which is still very weird. However 4.2.2 brings my phone another issue that I didn't noticed on 4.4.0 which is a very annoying and repetitive complete signal blackout (no reception at all (Edge/HSPA), even for emergency calls I guess). Signal drop can happen twice in an hour, twice in 10 minutes or may not happen at all 3-4-5 hours long. It's completely unpredictable. After a while, Edge signal (not HSPA !!) gets back by itself. If I wait 10-20 more minutes, HSPA comes back again, until it drops again.
Moreover, at phone boot, just after typing my PIN Code, it usually takes 2 or 3 minutes to catch a signal. Very slow isn't it ?
It does not seem to be a network issue, since my Samsung Galaxy S III doesn't encounter this using the same SIM card.
I read on Google forums and probably some XDA threads that I was not the only one to face this kind of network issues, even on 4.4.2, but issue description was each time a bit different from mine, thus I tought that it may be useful to post a new thread to describe precisely what was my problem.
Edit : My Nexus 5 is unlocked and rooted, but issue is present on untouched 4.2.2 also.
Edit 2 : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2525583 is probably my issue.
Do no hesitate to answer if you're thinking that you have the same issue (or kind of) or if you think that you know something that may help.
Thank you .

You can flash the radio from version 4.4 that helps a lot, I'm at work just search this forum the directions are here, it's easy.

^^ He appears to be talking about the link below. You can flash different modems that may work. Some people say different modems helped but I've had no such luck. I've flashed every modem available and still don't have data almost everywhere I go. I have data at home but that doesn't really matter since I don't need my phone at home.

Did you try flashing your carrier's specific radio?
Team Nexus 5 sucks

Were would one find the carrier specific radio? I'm on T-Mobile but have only found the thread with modems. Nothing carrier specific.
Thanks for your answers. Unfortunately, flashing different modems does not seem to help .
i've read, the .15 is good with t-mobile.
i'm testing it today too. my problem is not only a signal drop, i have only edge too and my modem won't switch back to umts or hspa(+).
i'm in germany with t-mobile (congstar).
