[Q] call quality - Fascinate General

I'm coming from the original droid and theres alot of places in between towns i used to have good reception where im breaking up now AND when im listening to everyone else theres like a small tunnel sound in the back ground. Is this something a update could fix and is anyone else experiencing these problems ?

Try *228 option 2... That will update your roaming capabilities... As far a the tunnel effect goes.. I have been experiencing the same thing.. I rarely use my phone for voice calls so its not that big of a deal.. Hopefully it's software and that will be correctable.

People complain about echo

Sometimes people I am talking with complain that they hear their own voice. Does anyone else have this?

ive never had anyone say that to me, however apparently i sound like im "on the moon" when im on a voice call... this could possibly attributed to the placement of the mic and how i hold my phone?
Yep
I've been having this on and off since upgrading from jpk to jpm.
What firmware are you using.
Me and my girlfriend (2 phones) both have this issue,
2.1 jh2

mute/silent when making calls

sorry for bribging this up here.but its a big issue to people who make calls a lot. this topic was made in the general section.but thought I'd bring it up here l,hoping the devs can look into this.
issue: when u make a call,the call log/time logger starts running and u don't hear anything,no ringing or anything.at all.u have to hang up and dial 2-4 times for it to finally ring. apparently the other person ur calling receives the call but hears nothing as well. this issue has been reported on dk28 roms.I , myself am running bonsais latest ext4 rom and am having this issue still. some people have suggested that turning the speaker phone on and off when making a call fixes this,but I refuse to do this for all my calls.lol.no offense to the developers,but coming from a hero,I never had calling issues whatsoever . and having issues like this on an expensive ass phone doesn't make sense lol.please help.thanks.

Same issue here! Except on mine it will show the call timer and the other side can hear me but I can't hear them... gotten me in trouble already haha. Annoying that our 600 dolar phones can only make phone calls sometimes.

I have this issue as well on dk28, if you go back to dl18 it fixes it. And its not the phones fault its the unofficial leaked froyo
Please post questions in General section.
I have the same problem, and it's persisted across 3 different ROMs (all DK28 based, though).
If it's truly a problem with the leaked source, why are more people not experiencing it? It affects at least 75% of my outgoing calls. Do people just not use their phones as phones that much?
I haven't tried the speaker trick yet.
Have this issue a well. Found that if u cycle ur speaker phone on and off it will correct for one call

I've had this problem as well.
I thought it was cause I accidentally put my phone in between two slices of bread with cheese and mustard and bit into it...
yup add me to the dk28 phone outgoing call issue list 8)
Edit: It does not happen every time but I will have to give/remenber the speaker phone cycle test when it does.

Occassionally, phone doesn't ring and missed no. not displayed

I did not come across this issue being mentioned, but if it has been, please point me in the right direction.
I have noticed the following behavior after upgrading/flashing to stock EB13, using ODIN:
On more than a few occassions, the phone does not ring or vibrate when a call comes in. Not only this, but the missed call no. does not display in the log of missed/received calls. This is quite annoying. Has anyone come across this?

I've had the same problem to. I just get a voicemail but no record of any calls in my call log and the.phone didnt ring

Lately this has been a DAILY occurance for me and im PISSED about it. I use my phone for BUSINESS and my "business" is pretty important so I cant afford to be missing calls like this.
However I think that it has something to SPRINTS service and not the device itself.
Just odin'd back to STOCK DK28 & rooted last night.....It hasnt happened since....at least not yet...LOL
Yeah I think its sprint service too. My phone has done it on di18,dk28 and now eb13

Ditto on this. I suspect it is either Sprint or it's the crappy RIL they're talking about in the CM7 progress thread. I think this mostly because I had the same problem on my Moment.

Same here,its happened twice today and once on my brothers Epic as we were sittin there waiting on our ride to get here and call; So he had a voicemail telling us he was outside,was there for 5m before we checkd the phone because I brught up the fact that my phone dosnt ring sometimes. That sucks.

Is there someone who can confirm if this is an issue with Sprint's service, or the firmware? I am having a hard time believing it would be Sprint's service, as I haven't read about this issue much - this does not prove anything, but still.
I use my phone for business, too, and definitely cannot afford to lose calls, and on top of that, not even have the missed calls appear in the call log.
Actually I was just talking to my wife and to be honest I don't ever rememrher evo doing that. Also I had an evo as well and I don't remember this issue as well. Maybe it is the epic then. Anyone else??

I've had that on every phone I've had with sprint in the last 10 years, sprint tech called it tower lock said if you remain for an extended period of time within one towers rande then move to another sometimes the calls won't get routed right, oddly enough when I've had it happen its not all calls, don't know if this is true or just bs from sprint, first time they had me take the battery out and wait 10 mins and it was fixed, second time they had to do something on their end and I had to update my prl
Haven't had it happen for about a year but I've since then moved and regularly travel between multiple towers
This has happened to me since I got this phone. Sometimes I can be calling my chick and she right in front of me and she won't receive 2 to 4 calls till the phone actually rings. Same on the receiving end she can be calling me and no calls come thru. She'll be all pissed telling me off why I don't answer my phone and ill check to see if its on silent and no, and no calls missed. I think it samsung cause my chick has an htc evo and this **** doesn't happen to her. This will probably be my last samsung purchase.
Same.here. my wife has an evo and she gets all her calls. I don't get them and I get the same thing as you. Why didn't you answer your phone? Cause the damn thing didn't ring!!!!!

Lmfao... "Why are you not answering your phone?" This is the text from my wife about a couple hours ago.. I was at my neighbors with avg 4 bars of signal... I think my touch pro was the absolute worst with this issue.. text messages hours late and VMs with no missed calls...
I don't think that many ppl use 'slydial'.

I can tell you it isn't a Sprint thing, as my HTC Aria does this as well and I am on AT&T.
Im applying for jobs right now and really need to receive phone calls. Does anyone have a fix at all for this? Ive updated the PRL and it just seems to get worse.
Well at least I know I'm not the only one.... I've had issues since going to EB13, never noticed it on other base-builds tho.
Yea its started on EB13 for me too
I've had this issue for years. I always presumed is was a CDMA thing. I have email, facebook, twitter, baseball news and others using 3g to check for new items. Since all these are on different timers, they may take up a not insignificant amount of bandwidth. As CDMA sends incomming calls to voicemail if you are using 3g, I thought this was what was causing the issue. But I never turned off all updates to see if the problem went away. Might be worth trying.

By your logic, if I go back to JuiceDefender, the problem may be resolved to a point.
I've had it happen from candybar and flip regular phones and dumb phones and smartphones. This is nothing new. I've experienced it for years. My suggestion is to tell people to try calling a second time. It usually gets through then. It's not the phone, its the service or technology. The phone might be in a sleeping cycle.

QFE - Both my TP and TP2 were awful about this. Still have it happen pretty frequently with the Epic. I'm sure it's issues in the network.

Antenna prblms?

Just curiious im with wind in canada and wanted to know if theres anyone else experiencing a phone shut off for like 30 secs while it looks for signal... I have to drive around in airplane mode due to the fact that my phone will be constintly vibrating on and offf and on again. My phone is pretty much useless when,im on th e go.
anyone gone throygh this, and will flashing a bettr rom with a stronger signal and modem solve this??

wow, i frequently travel with my phone and i've never experienced that issue. i would try flashing a stable ROM (like Trigger, Bionix, Axura; the 2.2s since they're near perfect compared to the 2.2.1s and GB ROMs) and if that doesn't work, it might be a hardware issue.
really hope not. Gonna rty to flash trigger right now!! Hopefully it solves the issues!
I was just thinking on this issue and here's something I should've asked earlier:
How old is the SIM that you're using? If you are having trouble gaining signal with the phone, maybe your SIM could be old or damaged. It's a long shot, but it's something to be considered (I think). I mean, if you had no troubles finding the signal, then maybe the cut on/shut off problem will stop.
Thanks Ill bring my phone in to my provider and test another sim card! hopefully this solves it!

[Q] Delayed Texting

I am having a problem with me texts that i am sending. They take a while to get to the person that i am sending them to. I have an updated radio on my phone. I had this problem before i updated the radio also. Thanks for any help with this issue.
I'm assuming its happening with more than one person?
If so do they have the same carrier?
Its possible there is an issue with theirs.
Yes its happening to everyone I text. No matter what carrier they have.

It has happen to me before. Everytime I text my gf she would get it like 4 mins later...but I guess it could be the reception or the service..but only sometimes...
