Hi .
Of late I have found that my Phone is Dropping Calls ..if that is correct description of the problem....
My friends and clients are complaining that they can hear my phone ring tone when they call me but I dont receive any Bell or any indication that the Call is coming thru'....
I had earlier Dr. Gonzo's ROM which I upgraded to Mona Lisa ROM Cpl of days back....
Then browsing thru' the threads I read that Call Dropping Problem could be solved with Radio Upgrade... so I upgraded the Radio to 4.1.13.60_03.18.90...
but still the same issue...
This goes for SMS messages also...... I dont receive the SMS mesages sent to me many times....
This has happened at places where communication is and never was a problem...like at my office and home...
Could this be Phone Firmware / Hardware Problem ???
Could this be my SIM Card issue ?
BTW I am in India and my service Provider is Airtel.
Thanks
it happens only with airtel..if its a prepaid...when u approach the service center they wil ask u to file a complaint with the customer care n then may be the HTC company will release the patch for tat...so better change the network or change it to postpaid...tats the best way
This bug occurs on all Froyo roms (I tested it on:CM6, geo411m, evil, enomther, modaco and Google stock rom)
When I'm in a area with 0 signal (It means I cannot do any call) the signal status bar displays 2 or 3 levels, incorrectly.
I checked it on about 6 existing Froyo roms, on my Nexus One device and this bug occurs on all roms, includes the google official stock rom.
Please see the attched screenshot.
We tested it on some different nexus devices and it occurs on all these devices. My device version is Nexus One version: 110 (AT&T version).
Here is the screenshot of the bug:
******* (I cannot add the link because my account is new :/ )
I opened a new bug about it for Google, but can any developer fix it?
Here is the bug I opened for Google:
***** (I cannot add the link because my account is new :/ )
bug number:11346
Can you(the members of the forum also mark the bug with star, in order to promote the priority of the bug?
It's absolutely impossible to work with an OS that displays a wrong signal status. You never know if you really have signal or not :/
I backed to 2.1 because this bug.
Thanks to all.

I think this is more radio then ROM related, and I don't have this problem on my Nexus one. No signal=0 bars.
But you could try to flash the so called Korean radio(see Nexus android development forum ), to see if that changes anything.
Hello Robert
That is normal even in old phones. It is not a bug!!!
That signal strengh is real and correct.
The explanation is simple, when your SIM card can not reach to any of the base stations (antennas) of your provider, we generally say that you lost the signal and you can not make any calls. BUT for emergency purposes, your phone connects to the strongest available antenna of other providers (again, only when you can not reach the ones from your provider) to allow you to make emergency calls. That is why (at least in europe) when we lose the signal of our phones, usually in 95% of the cases it will still say "Only emergency calls 112 allowed".
So the signal bars you get are in reallity the signal bars of the antenna you are connected to make emergency calls. So no bug and actually it is useful, it would make no good if you try to disable that.
You will not get any bars for the signal when you are not even able to make emergency calls.

Hi Bulltza,
Thank you very much for this detailed answer...I checked it and you right...
I still think this is not a good feature because when I am in a area with no signal and I see that there is some levels in the status bar, it confuse me and I don't know that I cannot get incomming calls.
anyway thank you for the answer.
YoMark, thank you too for your help
Its not really a bug man They only should add a icon or a notification for Emergency Calls Only. If u dont want this feature u are veryr stupid Emergency Calls! We need them

What's the relation to be stupid or not?!
It seems that you are the stupid here that didn't understand what I mean and call me stupid!!!!!
Did I write anywhere that I don't want the Emergency Call?!?! I wrote that it is impossible to work with an OS where you see that you "have signal" but in actual you don't know that you cannot get incomming calls.
Learn to understand and give respect to your colleagues instead calling them stupid and other!
When phone is under WIFI network, have poor connectivity in making and receiving calls. Callers are unable to get connected - the caller doesn't get thru many times without getting any engaged or other tone. Same way, calling out also doesn't get thru without getting any busy or other tone. If the wi fi is disabled, phone works fine for both incoming and outgoing calls.
Using Airtlel in India - have changed SIM card, updated software to 5.1 but problem is unresolved. Please advise.
Hi
Thanks for writing to us at XDA Assist. I can see you've asked the same question in two other places:
Can't make calls
[Q] Poor call connectivty under wifi network
Please refer to the XDA Forum Rules for information regarding the creation of duplicate posts/threads.
Seeing as you already have this question in the appropriate place (Nexus 6 q&a section) I'll close this thread and let you continue there.
Thread closed, thanks.
Hi, My S5 call waiting is CRAZY! When a call comes in through call waiting, 2 things happen:
1. I cant pick up the new incoming call! After swiping it stays on call #1. And then
2. Whether I swipe for the new call or not, It will hang up both calls after 5 seconds!
I thought updating may help,but I continuously get a "check back later Update is unavailable"(my wording) message through my phone,or it wont allow me to update through the Verizon update fix while plugged into the pc.
This really is a pain because of clients and its embarrassing. Please help!
Details: Its a Verizon phone on a Metro PCS Network, software g900vvru1ank2, android4.4.4
Hello,
Welcome to XDA.
If your device is on Metro instead of Verizon then you won't get the update to work because you are not on Verizon's network anymore.

Hello,
I bought a mi mix 2s some time ago and it's currently running the china rom because I can't unlock the bootloader the next 10 days.
First of all I can call other people and I can use mobile data. Also I'm able to receive calls if the sim is in my old oneplus one.
Now to my problem:
Today I realized that there must be a problem if someone calls me but I couldn't really figure out under what circumstances the issue appears.
However, I could figure out the following:
If I'm on wifi calls work most of the time
If I'm on 4g I don't receive calls most of the time
If I'm on H+ I receive calls most of the time
If the phone is locked I either get the call or the mailbox answers
If I don't get the call there are two things that happen on the phone that is calling me:
If it's a samsung theres just one loud beep and the call ends
If it's a LG there are fast beeps (similar like if the phone is busy)
Thanks in advance for any help
Flatric
EDIT: Just figured out that the problem is that the phone takes too long to switch from 4g to 3g since VoLTE is not supported by my carrier... Found some guys in a forum who complained about the same problem but with a oneplus phone... I'm still open for any ideas that could fix that Maybe someone from germany here who uses O2/Eplus network and got the same problem?
EDIT2: http://en.miui.com/thread-935378-1-1.html Used this to enable VoLTE but can't test if it's working until tomorrow
Fixed it by the way by enabling VoLTE with the miui dialer code explained here
