vox problems with recieving calls and sms

hi all!
ever since i got my vox ive been experiencing problems like this.
it only happens sometime and its difficult to reproduce. but problem is as follow..
people send me sms's (sometimes quite alot) and on their phone it just say pending. then if they phone me or just give me a miss call i recieve all the smses at once. but sometimes even when they try to phone me it goes to voice mail. my phone always have full signal during all of this. most of the time im experiencing this problem is when im using my phone as a gprs modem for my pc. i need to know if i should take the phone back or what? but how can i proof ive got this problem? i even updated phone to latest radio and still got problem. any help or suggestions pse!
I am not sure but I think the sms thing happens with my device also, but I have no idea how that could be possible.
?
What Radio versions do you have? If older upgrade to 4.1.13.54_03.10.90
I was on version 4.1.13.54_03.10.90 for some time
but i found the earlier version to be more stable.
just a personal experience.
but i guess i'll give 4.1.13.54_03.10.90 a second shot.

thanx i found ur link on another thread some time ago and i upgraded my radio. but its been 2weeks now and no improvement. my previous radio was something like x.x.34_xx.xx.xx or so. but yes, i do however think that i get better signal. cos on old radio when phone was on my desk it was 90% signal acording to the signal icon on home screen. now its 100. another thing about vox is when u type with qwerty ur hand blocks the antenna weakning the signal. kinda stupid as in most phone manuals they say u shouldnt put ur hand over the antenna area while in call or sms. haha!
but pse any ideas r welcome! im gonna use my sim in another phone for a bit to see if problem is with my sim or phone
Damn.
I have the same problem, most boring one.
Time after time, the phone stops receiving phone calls (line busy if you are calling me, I cant call because the green button doesn't do anything if i press it after I type the number or choose the contact) and some other times SMS messages. I keep the Vox close to my speakers and they make the sound like when you are receiving call/sms (can't describe it, but i think you get me) but nothing happens. And after 2 hours people call me and complain why I didn't reply to their SMS...
If someone finds what is the problem and solution to it I will be thankfull to him/her untill my Vox is alive.
Many options with new ROMs are great thing. But if the SP doesn't do it primary duty (make & receive calls and SMS messages) it's worthless.
I have it tested with 3 ROMs and the problem apeared with every one and each of them.
The default one, don't know the version. The radio was earlier version than 4.1.13.54_03.10.90.
Then I tryed 6.1 v1.0a of Dr. Gonzo.
And now I have for 3 days the 6.1 v1.1. At least once I noticed that problem with this, latest, version.

i dont think u got exactly the same problem. cos whenever im not receiving sms or calls for a while then when i make a call or send a sms all my msgs deliver to me at one time. so what im trying to say is that i am indeed able 2 make calls all the time. i think ur problem mite b caused by a 3rd party app on ur phone? btw i had my problem with original rom, guava rom, 6.1a and im downloading 6.1 v1.1 now. but i can tell u its gonna b the same. its not a rom based issue.
Hello
I've this probleme too,
Exemple : I power on the phone at 9h00, that all, and at 11h00 i would like to call a friend, phonebook-->frient-->call mobile and i press the green button it doesn't do anything. Impossible to call someone
I press the voicemail button : no result.
I must reboot.
Exemple 2 : I do anything my friend call me, my phone is power on, good reception, -->He have voicemail !!
I must reboot..

what radio version and rom are u using? any 3rd party apps that mite interfere with ur call button etc?
PLEASE people lets all give our radio version and rom versions etc so we can pinpoint this problem. it seems that quite a few people are actually experiencing this problem and they dont even realise it.
it does seem that the vox gets in a type of a bottleneck with sms and calls. all ur smses gets jammed and then as soon as i send a sms it blasts open the jam and lets my sms's thru. no point in talking to service provider customer care as they are all idiots

My radio version is : 4.1.13.54_03.10.90
My rom version is Wm6.1 v1.1 : 5.2.19195 (build 19202.1.0.0)
I have just R66mobile7, but i don't think it interfere with my call button
Same problem for me even with the last version of the radio...
I had the same problem with the original rom after installing native voip but no problem with hard reboot without installing native voip on the original rom.
On this morning, I made a hard reboot and didn't install my voip settings only to see...
I will let u know if there are some changes...
I have some problem. Hard reset one day ago .. and till now everything work well.
Did you install your voip settings when you encoutered the problems ?
no route 66 wont interfere. i was thinking more along the lines of smart toolkit etc. it does seem like u got same problem. im read on another thread that the arabic version radio mite be better. so go check on the vox wiki and test the arabic radio. its the second newest version. im gonna try it 2. wil let u know
i never used voip before. but i do however notice if i use my phone as a gprs modem for an hour or so, then i usually send a sms to my gd and all her smses deliver at the same time. now, seeing as voip uses the gprs connection 2. it does seem that the problem is related to gprs being used. my guess is that it has to do with the fact that when u are using ur gprs and someone phones or sms u thru gsm connection ur gprs is supposed to cut out, a gsm connection gets esstablished, and when the connection terminates, ur gprs connection re connects again. now we need to find out if this happens with other devices using voip. and please test it with ur devices also. (while connected with gprs and using voip see if sms deliver to u)

i will test with the arabic radio, and my voip setting.
result tomorrow.
i just u.dated to 6.1 v1.1 and installed the arabic radio. everything seems to b working fine. ill let u know as soon as i experience my first problem
nope! no luck. i just disconnected from my internet sharing app. i send a sms, and 3 smses delivered to me that should have came thru 30mins ago! damn. gonna try another radio now. if this doesnt work i tried all the radio versions on the wiki. and i honestly dont know how to fix the problem.
anyone know what the difference is between chap and pap authentication in gprs settings? and in csd line type settings.. should it b transparent or not transparent. any one can tell me the difference and if this could probably make a difference?
lastly, can i ask if anyone that is certain they not experiencing this problem can maybe tell me what their csd line settings are?
after hard reset i installed myvoipsetting too ... still work perfect.
i think prob is solved with simply hard reset
ok im happy for u! i did hard reset but still had problem. pse let me know once u experience this problem again. in the meantime i changed my csd line type to transparent. no problems so far... i guess i was thinking that transparent wouldnt block as much sms and calls as non transparent! hehe! will let u know. pse will u check ur csd line settings 2? its under start/settings/csd line type/connection element

[Q] Samsung Galaxy Fit Wifi problems!!! Please help!!!

Whenever I look at the battery usage in the settings , I always see my Galaxy Fit is using wifi, maps and facebook apps even though they are already turned off.. How can I turn it off??? My wifi uses 7% and the maps and facebook uses 2%.. Somebody help me..
Someone said to me that it is normal because I used the app previously, it only shows how much percentage the app/wifi will use in draining the battery.. Sorry for my bad english.. Thank you..
I already reboot/restarted the phone but still it shows.. I already unchecked all the wifi, gps etc etc..
BTW, my firmware is Gingerbread 2.3.4, updated through KIES.. No other modifications done..

Does it remain at 7% and 2% resp. or does it increase with time??
It remains at 7% and 2% and doesn't increase with time.. But when I uses WiFi, then it increases, someone said Task Killer uses battery a lot.. That is why I didn't download it..

[Q] Damn WiFi issue... Unfixable this time...

Hi... My phone is acting madly... Wifi unreasonably and randomly gets unable to connect to any network after turning it off and on... And I have to turn it off, then reboot the phone twice sequentially so that it works again. I have also changed the framework2.jar file with HTCZ715E's and it is that which has made it work to this extent... Anyone knows a wifi fix for JB?
I have deleted wpa_supplicant too by the way.
(ViperS 5.0.0)
SENT FROM WHATEVER IS NOT SOMETHING TO BE LOCKED AT, THE THING IS THAT IT IS SENT.

It's supposed to be fixed in Venom Tweaks; I asked ivicask for it and he saif it's already available as "force enable wifi n support" if I'm not wrong. So, we've gotta wait till it's released.
SENT FROM WHATEVER IS NOT SOMETHING TO BE LOCKED AT, THE THING IS THAT IT IS SENT.
Try to enable "airplane mode", enter your PIN code and after that disable it again.
I've try it and resolve my problem with WIFI...
Hope it helps...
Hi,
Try to get app gerRIL and match RADIO with your kernel - if possible use Mobile Data for that (hope you have internet plan) , other wise ,you will have to download it manually and transfer to sd card

Sadly, I believe there is nothing you can do about it. Most location services for mobile phones (including Google's Android device manager and Samsung's take on it) rely on an active internet connection, so you've probably got few minutes to work with if you lose your phone - that is untill someone finds it and powers it off or just cuts the internet connection.
The best you could do about it is to put the IMEI of your phone in the carriers' blacklist so that no one can use it again... in theory.
