i dont know if this has been addressed, but my search did not reveal this exact problem...
when im not on my phone, and i have full bars, i do not get my calls or sms, it just stays the way it is, i have to click on messages in order to "re-activate" it then i get my sms VERY late, and voicemails late. i checked this out a little more by calling my phone time to time, and i get 2 rings, then goes straight to voicemail, and my phone never got the call, and the voicemail comes through my phone about 30 min late...same thing with sms, i message my phone time to time, and i dont get the sms till late. is this a radio issue? my device info is on my sig...
i had this same problem when i was running the 1.40 radio with black 4 shadow...i switched roms and all is well now.

Yup, similarly, but just in reverse. My 8525 [HERM100] from Cingular/TheNewAT&T was running BlackMajic [Hot! BadA$$ Rom] and it worked fantastically with regards to reception and updates from the network... but I dropped my handset and the damn external speaker wouldn't work suddenly. So no ringing and no speakerphone whatsoever... obviously this wasn't going to fly with me... so, i went to the cingular store, spoke to them in a language they understood [telephonics/telephonease, lol] and they handed over a new handset (honestly I haven't the faintest idea how I managed it... it was amazing though... )
ANYWAYS!!!!'
so i haven't had a the chance till now to get their default latest rom outta there and get majik back on, but I'm telling you what. For it being their latest release for the rom... this piece of **** doesn't work for ****! half my calls aren't dropped, their just non existant all together, same with voice or text notifications... it's the radio ROM, I'm sure of it.
bump!!!!!!!!

I've been using DCD's 2.3.2 Rom and Radio 3.27.00 for sometime now with much success. The past few days I've noticed a strange bug/feature. On occasion, I can actually hear the caller on the other line (talking, breathing, etc.) before I actually answer. I've tested this several times with other people and it seems to happen randomly, and usually when the call originates from a land line. Anyone know what is up with that? I actually find it interesting, you can hear what people are talking about before you answer. Kind of scarey as well

Was having the same issue. As you stated, it only happened with calls originating from landlines. Pretty cool though, I tested it and I had my friend say something to me and then when I picked up i repeated it. It was awesome lol. Doesnt happen anymore though.

Can they hear you, too? If so, this is security issue. A person can call you and overhear some of your conversation if the call catches you unprepared.

I was worried about that too, but it appears all the caller hears is ringing until I pick up, else the call goes to voicemail as usual.

That is correct. Only one way. The other person just hears rings but if they are having a convo with someone in the background while the phone is ringing, you can hear it till you pick up, if you dont pick up they are sent to voicemail and you can no longer hear them.
I posted the same issue a few days back, it's very annoying but now i've gotten used to it and I wait until I hear static and then start talking, otherwise, there was about a 5 second delay from when I pressed answer to when I could actually talk.
I experienced this a long time ago. I think that might have been before I saw the dcd light and I was using 2.17, so this problem may go back a while. That is a very interesting insight that it is only when a land line is calling. I did not realize that. I only happened a few times, ans now I know why. Who calls from land lines anymore?

Same is happening to me i am about to take my phone in for a replacement.
Oh and I get this with any phone who calls me land or cell. I even re locked and flashed back to 2.16 sprint stock. i still get the problem. I'll let you know what sprint tells me.
I wonder if it will still happen with the lattest ROM..
Boy, this Mogul really is a peice of crap isnt it? So much for being the flagship model.
Not only when called from a landline phone.
This is NOT only when a landline is calling, matter of fact, it happens when it's either a landline OR a cellphone, about a 6-second delay every time.
I have been having this issue with the newest DCD Rom. I can hear the person through the speaker phone while the phone is ringing. Doesn't happen every time and they were calling from a cell phone.
So WTF!
Things that stopped working that I have noticed about...
My trackball light
button lights
led lights
And now I'v been late for work for 2 days...and I just noticed that my alarm sound doesn't work...if I go into alarms and pick which sound it does nothing!!!!
Any help about this???
I think if its that broken, maybe you should return it?
Not sure what you did to your Hero....but mine is still in top notch condition.
I just used it as a normal person..will call support
There's already a thread about this, not sure its link, but if you search you'll find it. Seems a few people are having the problem and a hard reset does not fix the issue either.
so no solution yet?
Option is to turn it in...but Im not in favor to loose the phone already for 2weeks and more

Don't know how the rules are over seas (I live in holland) but when I went back with my previous htc diamond
I just got a new one and the old one got sent back to the manufacturer never saw it again.
(I went back to the store after just 4 days so maybe that's why they didn't repair the old oone and just gave me a new one)
So I would call them and ask how their service is, maybe you don't have to mis your phone
Excuse me friends,
i already posted a quest somewhere but no answer so i'll post once again. Could someone please say what the led should do acttually. i've spoken to some members. some say that it doesnt flash for missed calls n text. some says that it should have ...... mine flash only on charge and on receiving mails. (nothing on sms and missed calls.) i just want to confirm whether there is a problem or not before contacting my provider. thanks.
P.S i am refering to the led, not the trackball.

here in germany it depends on the subscription plan. If you have one with a small fee they send it in. If you have one with those expensive business plans you get a new one in 48h (vodafone, dont know how o2, d1 or e+ handle this)...

The led flashes on e-mail and charging (empty phone also)
The trackball flashes on sms (text messages)
At least that's what my Hero does
Okay, now I'm just plain confused. I have the same missing call issues everyone else is having, either missing the call completely, or getting a missed call notice without the actual call. One time I even got the missed call notice like half an hour after the call.
Anyway, I'm used to all that. But just recently, it's doing something different. I received a call, and knew it once I saw the voicemail show up in my Google Voice inbox. I checked my phone when I saw that, and it was ringing. Apparently my volume was down and I didn't catch it, but I'd assume it had been ringing for a while. But there was nothing about any incoming or missed call. Nothing about calls at all. Aside from the fact that it was ringing, it was completely normal. The ringing didn't stop until I made an outgoing call of my own.
So apparently it got something about the call. At first, I'd assumed it was just a Google Voice notification, but I don't have Voice installed on my phone. So something's making my phone...phantom ring when I get a call, but not telling me about the call in any way.
I'm running MIUI with the Glitch kernel, but this has only been the last two or three calls I missed that did this. Even with the same ROM and kernel, it was fine before.
Anyone have any experience with this? I'm not even sure how to explain it. But if my phone's gonna recognize when someone's calling, it'd be much nicer if I was given an option to answer it.
Hm... I've had the phantom ring and I've had the missed calls, but never at the same time.
Phantom ring is a problem with the cm7/miui ROMS and missed calls is a problem with the handset. So, technically, if you were impatient, you could call Verizon tech support and get a new phone because of the missed call issue and be done with it entirely. Otherwise, you can wait to see if Verizon releases a new OTA to fix the call issue (Check out the ED05 stuff... that's a newly leaked upgrade, but idk what it does), which (hopefully) will fix the phantom ringer as well by allowing the phone to pick up the call correctly.

I'd have just chalked it up to coincidence, but to do it twice in a row like that, it just seems unlikely. I've heard of some phantom ring issue before, but like you said, never when a call should be coming through.
I wouldn't be against having it replaced, but that's not really an option for me. For one, I bought it from someone on Craigslist rather than Verizon, so I'd assume they wouldn't like that. And even putting that aside, I'm not even technically a Verizon customer. I'm with PagePlus. So I figure I'll have to make the best I can of this, or buy another on my own. And really, aside from the missed call issue, I've been loving the Fascinate, so I'd rather not give it up.
It was doing so well for a while, until I flashed MIUI. I don't regret that, though. MIUI is great.
Yeah, I get what you're saying... In which case, wait for the new fix that Samsung is *supposedly* working on to come out and one of the devs to patch it into cm7/miui or a new radio. If anyone else knows of any legit fixes as of now, I'd like to know as well.
In the meantime, it looks to everyone like you're selectively screening your calls - it makes you more mysterious

I really wish I could trust Samsung's word on that.
...I really wish. Unfortunately, Samsung doesn't have the most sparkling record when it comes to fixing software issues. Of course, assuming they're footing the bill for these replacements, I'd imagine they probably would want to get it worked out as soon as they can.
There's some new radio in the dev forum, but I'm unsure about that. Nothing's really specified as to whether it's a leaked radio or what. I'd rather not risk flashing it until I know that it's not gonna kill my signal completely or anything.
Well, I've got a bit more info on this. ...Unfortunately, it makes no more sense at all. It would appear that my phone has decided that it won't receive calls with the screen off at all.
If the screen's on, call comes through as normal. If it's off, it simply does nothing at all. The screen doesn't come on, it doesn't ring, nothing. Then once I do turn the screen on, it does the phantom ringing until I do something to stop it. Even if the screen's turned back off. It's also worth mentioning that the ring isn't even my own ringtone. It's the default...ring ringtone.
If I turn the screen on while the call is coming through, it turns on like it's waiting for me to answer the call. As soon as I hit the button, it's showing me the phone screen and starts ringing with my normal ring.
It's worth nothing that it also does this immediately after being locked. So I don't think it's a sleep mode issue. It shouldn't have time to go into sleep mode. Of the issues I've had with missed calls before, I usually need to leave my phone untouched for a while. Not the case here.
It wasn't doing this before, though. And I didn't change anything that should cause it.
...Or maybe I did. Seems turning off the stay awake option in settings worked it out. Hopefully, anyway. Won't know for sure until it...well, doesn't miss calls.
Ok so today out of no where my phone just stopped talking calls, cant make calls, i can recieve texts but i cant send them. I also cant open my text inbox.. for example if i click on a contact inside the inbox, it just says loading and the green icon just spins and does nothing..
i reflashed my same radio i used thinking it was a problem there, but it hasnt fixed anything..
also i noticed that on my lock screen right above the time it does not say verizon wireless anymore, it just shows the time and date.. it used to say it above the clock.
im running bamf and have loved it for quite some time now, until this just happened..

You say you don't see VZW on the lockscreen. Have you check to see if maybe your phone is roaming or out of service area?

haha I can see the reply being "I fixed it.. Had to mail my first born child to Verizon. Phone works again.."
On a serious note, that is odd that it just randomly happened. Did you flash anything new or remove anything?
Somehow one of my lte settings on my banf menu changed by its self.. so it was one of the settings where their was no 3g or 4g and no service either, like the 4th from the top..
either way the phone works again now because i use the cdma auto/prl (i think) one so i always use my phone in 3g, but the internet hasnt came back on yet.. i tried the first choice and the 4g one (cdma/lte auto) or whatever it is and i cant get 3g or 4g..
can anyone recommend me a good radio to use. my phone just has 2.3.4 and bamf gingeremix on it, if i have to be more specific i can to try and narrow the best radio for my phone.. i guess i might as well ask what is the "best" Radio?
What are the significances of the different ones? like range or service quality.. thats the only thing i dont understand..

All radios work differntly with each thunderbolt. best way to test is run each radio for a few days and find the best one for your individual phone. Best of luck
Since your running 2.3.x you will need to make sure you load a MR2 or greater radio. I don't think Froyo radios will not work on GB. I'm no expert on any of this yet still learning the ins and outs. I remember reading that on one of the forums I frequent though.
I'm running 2.11.605.3 RUU and have had excellent signal so far. The list
To test this, call one person.
Click add call
Dial a different number
Do NOT merge the calls.
Try to talk to the first person you called without hanging up on the second.
Followup
Go ahead and merge the calls.
Have one person hang up.
Call that person back, and add then back into the conference.
In the stock rom, for me, neither of these things can be done! Can any rom do this??

This is a CDMA(Verizon) problem I believe. I noticed this when I switched to vzw from ATT about 3 years ago and have noticed it on every phone(even the ones made of fruit) since. Didnt have this problem on Tmobile(or whatever it was called back then) 10 years ago either.

So here is the interesting thing about that. There is another test case. Call a number, have somebody call you. Answer that call. The is now a swap button! You can swap at will, if you get a call while you are on a call! Odd, no?
And you caught me, this is day 2 on Verizon from AT&T for me.

Good catch either way! Im hoping that when VZW switches to VoLTE(and phones that support it), we will regain this feature.
