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..
An idea?

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

Call waiting bug

Hi,
I found a bug in my HTC TyTN II: when I call someone that is already involved in a conversation with other person, my HTC doesn't show me that I am in call waiting state (only say Dialing). Of course, he must have call waiting active, if not I receive the Busy notification.
This is very annoying: I disturbe him because I don't know that he is already talking and continue ringing (
I installed a lot of ROMs on my PDA (now I have L29 Diamond V5), but this bug was present all the time. Anyone now how to fix this?
Thanks a lot

This is funny
I don't belive that you are ok with this bug : check your Kaiser's. Nobody have nothing to say? Dutty, Schap, Laurentius, HyperDragon, NOBODY?

have u tested this scenario with some other phone?

Bug
Yes, that's how I realised that is a bug. A Nokia is telling you in this situation that you are in state "Call waiting". Try'it yourself

do u mean to say that u put ur own SIM card in nokia handset and then tried this? or u tried with some other person's SIM card in his/her nokia?

Phones used
I mean that I use 2 Kaiser's and 3 Nokia for testing. Every time Nokia corectly report "Call waiting", but Kaiser is reporting always "Calling", without making any difference. Please, try yourself a test (problably most phones will report corectly "Call waiting").
Thanks,

i've Elfin (HTC Touch) with my own cooked ROM. and i never faced this problem. and i dont really think that this is the ROM's problem. can u confirm this problem after using only ONE sim card with all these handsets?

Trying
I made a short test: I used another SIM with my Kaiser and the same problem. Also I can tell you that this new SIM used with a LG Shine show the corect message: "Call waiting". So, not the SIM is the problem

flash a shipped ROM to ur phone and test try this out to see if u face this problem.

On AT&T in the US I have never had a phone give me a call waiting message. What network does this? Sounds interesting but how does your phone know if the person you are calling is already on a call? As far as I know there is nothing in the switch to report that back to you, just a busy/not busy response. If the person has call waiting it sends not busy and you will ring their phone. Maybe this is just the verbage of your other phones while dialing? And does hearing a couple beeps in the background while you are talking to someone really bother you? I find it nice to be notified that someone else is calling. No ideas here though sorry.

Flash ROM
Sirooga: it's VODAFONE, and yes, the network know that you are involved in a call and send a different signaling to the new caller. That's why you must see "Call waiting" on screen.
Htctouchp: I change a lot of times the ROM. Now is L26 Diamond V5, Radio: 1.65.20.29. What do you mean by flashing a shipped ROM? Other version (if yes, which one) or original version (I have original version when I bought the phone and the same story).

its a strange problem really...i guess u better get ur phone to the service centre (after installing original ROM) and ask them to solve ur problem.

yes i have the same problem its driving me nuts... i need that option which shows if the other person is on call waiting or not. i dont want my phone showing thats its dailing and the other person is actually on a call.

hey everyone.. its nothing wrong with the phone or the sim/operator.. its an issue in windows mobile, it doesnt show the notification.. it seems microsoft missed the feature.. somebody gotta develop it.. and i've got some good news over places, but havent tested myself.. it seems that the samsung omnia (wm phone) have this feature displayed correctly.. mayb someone could rip it off the omnia's rom and make it work on other wms.. then its gonna b a solved problem for all..

Blackjack II (I617) WinMo 6.5 Texting issue

It's seems ever since I upgraded to 6.5 most of the time my text massages will say there sent but the other person never gets them. Or I never get their messages when they send them. Do You think it's a phone issue or was it the update?
Please help if you can.

I've i600, but menu should be same. Check if You have correct number in this option:
settings -> phone -> all calls -> call options -> text messages service center

The number is like it should be but im still having some issues

Would be helpful if you could share what ROM, modem etc. you're using.
Ideas? Google Voice. It's free and offers a much richer messaging experience over carrier-based voicemail systems. It transcribes viocemails and you can read and/or listen to them on the phone, from a PC etc.

What I've seen fix that in the past is leave yourself a voicemail... let it go to your phone... then delete it again.... also another note.... i always hit the * button to hang up.... not sure if that will work but it has for me in the past with other phones....

it most likely has nothing to do with your phone and everything to do without your service provider. the voicwmail server is incorrectly sending your phone the "new voicemail" signal. I had this same problem on my old blackjack 2 for the longest time. if it bothers you enough, try calling your service provider and get them to fix it.
Sent from a phone, playing a phone, disguised as another phone.

Just call AT&T and ask them to reset the voicemail and missed calls notification.
This happens to me soo often...

This fix has worked for me numerous times in the past.
Sent from my SGH-I897 using XDA App

Sorry to jump in on the OP thread but I have the same problem. On cognition was setting up google voice but I guess I had a voicemail sneak thru the system during the setup. I have tried switching back to my carrier voicemail leaving a message but it does not delete it. I am surprised there is not a service that cannot be force stop to remove it versus calling provider.
Thanks

[Q] sms problem

Hello there,
I'm having troubles with recieving messages.
Sometimes, I just don't get a message, while I get all the other messages.
I tried, several things, but none of them work actually.
Does anybody know what I can do or tell me what the exact problem is?
I have had contact with htc and my network provider and none of them could help me.
Sometimes, people send me an sms and I don't get the sms on my phone,
when I look online, I see that people have sended me an sms but I did not recieve it.
I'm getting crazy of this problem.
Now I have got a new simcard.
But htc tells me that its software from google play that is blocking my sms sometimes.
Could somebody please help me with this??
I hope you guys know a lot more than HTC or my provider combined
greetings
Bart

Hi,
Are you rooted using a custom ROM or is your phone all stock?
Id also suspect a rogue app or an issue with messaging settings but if its working sometimes that doesnt explain it.
is it particular people or is it always random?

hmm
i still think its an app then depending on what you have installed... if you have titanium backup and are rooted u can backup all your apps and remove all of them and see if that fixes it then slowly re-install each one.
other thing u can try is get another sim card ont he same network and put it in your sensation and text it loads see if it gets the same issue. if so its likely the phone.
if you are unlocked u get more options like doing nandroid backup, totally wiping and doing fresh install... using some backup apps and doing a factory reset is an opion open to u.
basically its testing around trying to rule out either the phone or the sim / network.
hope this helsp a bit

Ok thx,
I have allready got a new sim, to swap with my previous.
So let's hope it's fixed.
Else I will have to hard reset and start again ( for the 5th time )
But there is no other way to check what is causing this instead of deleting everything?

i mean try a different sim with a different number but on the same network..
there isnt really any other way of figuring this out without removing things and finding out what the culprit is.
if u were unlocked id be saying nandroid backup, totally wipe and see if the issue is present.

I had the same problem some weeks ago, in my case it was caused by a problem with the gsm network of the provider in my area. To solve it I had to switch network mode from "gsm only" to "wcdma preferred".
By the way I'm in Italy, I don't know if this apply to you too!
