VZW-6800
Rom 3.22 (non-kitchen)
Radio 3.42.30
Not an issue with the rom or radio just background info. When I call my phone from the house or another person cell it rings 2-3 times and on the 3rd ring my phone will ring but on the 4-5 I will miss the call. I loose a lot of time to catch the call in this delay.
Is there a fix for this or do others have the same issue. Verizon said they cannot extend my ring time and I found the have this issue when I went to a PDA phone from my Razor cell phone...
Any Advice....

Sounds like reception. You probably already tried *228. Has this been a problem after flashing several different ROMS/Radios?
I have done the *228 but only to update my roaming #2. I do not know what they mean by update the programming so I skip that.
No this issue does have to do with the rom update I noticed this when I first got the phone when it was all factory. This was when I called Verizon to see if my ring time could be increased. They said no...

I don't know if this is the best advice, but it would offer a possibly working solution.
I remember someone saying about slot-cycle index settings, the delay of how often a cell phone polls the tower for incoming calls, can be changed.
You might be able to lower this in hopes of catching a call quicker... I don't know the (adverse) effects of doing so, you would have to ask around I suppose.
Do some research and ask before even attempting to change these PST settings.
After all, it may be a reception issue.
P.S. also watch the phone when you call it, you might have the vibrate, then ring option enabled... that delays the actual audio ring until after a few vibrations.

This is really frustrating! :evil:
The signal on my phone shows good reception, but meanwhile the phone is off. When people call me, they get forwarded to my voice mail, although the phone never rang in the first place!
Does anyone else have this problem, and better yet... how do you fix it?
Thanks!
when you ask the same question in more then one forum all you get is
that you push out a question which may not have been answered yet
and thereby limit the posiblity of the person seeking help ever
being found by somebody who got answers
please dont! think of the children
have you checked the divert setting in the "phone" control panel, perhaps it is set to forward all calls to voicemail??
if you can make outgoing calls, then it is a call forwarding problem.
This used to happen to me also, and also happend to my friend using an mpx. We also were both on Tmobile in the states so I thought it was some network problem either on tmobiles end or PPC. However this has not happened to me since I upgraded to the 1.72 rom
Rudegar, that was an honest mistake... first time I post on here.
As for the phone problem, this happens on its own. For example, I'd have my phone on, use it, then hang up. The phone now is still on, but 'off the hook'. A while later someone would call and get forwarded to my voice mail because the phone is off... on its own. I don't know if I'm explaining this well enough but that's what's happening. I will try upgrading, but how does one do that?
Thanks!
no problem happens to the best of them or so they've told me
The past week with my touch pro I have been not receiving text or phone calls at night in my apartment. I had service, even EVDO. But people said it would just ring and go to voicemail. Then with SMS i wasn't getting them till i turned the phone on the next morning. Incidently I had the same problem with the original sprint touch recently.
Well today I removed the micro SD card and I have been recieving calls and SMS all night with no problems or any delay. Does anyone know why this would be? Or how I could fix it so I could get the phone to work properly WITH a SD card inserted.
SHould I hard reset?
THANK YOU!
Still not working after a hard rest and I tried all the fixs for Lock ups in sleep mode etc... any suggestions or related problems?
possibly a corrupt/faulty memory card. My ppc 6700 had similar issues with a bad memory card
This is a sprint problem!
I have had two phones that this has happened to me to. First I had a samsung m500. I was not receiving important calls (im on call with my job, plus I have a Wife im accountable to). On the callers end the phone would ring and go to voicemail, however on my end, i heard no ring and got the voicemail much later. text messages came through hours later, or i could force them through by making a call on my phone. this caused me to go over my limit on minutes, thus getting charged for overuse. Once i called sprint, i had asked if anyone else had similar problems that they knew of, they said they had never heard of this problem. (I guess i was a special case and as a result felt like they thought i was a liar) I was talked into buying another phone, which i did, i ended up getting a rzr v3 and things were fine for a while, and sure enough, it started happening again last week. I was frustrated and called sprint where they told me again they never heard of the problem i was having, now comes to find out that since i bought the new phone, i have to be on sprint an extra two years. Never again will i deal with SPRINT. Ill honor my contract, but thats it!
Only if sprint customer service would have improved in so many years, they have best network and worst customer service. I am subscriber for them for almost 4-5 years and get these issues very often.
Right now i'm using Touch Pro and i had tweaked my NAM setting to poll cell phone towers more often. Mine default was setup to 6 seconds, now i have it to 1 sec and looks like issue has gone.
Check or search on google on howto program your nam setting for your phone.

Been a long time lurker, but now i am in need of some help.
Had the galaxy s2 for a couple of weeks now and most of the time it works great. but occasionaly it will not recieve calls or sms. i get no notifications of missed calls, voicemail messages etc. to the caller it just goes straight to voicemail. A few hours later i get all? the sms come in at once, sometimes a voicemail notification but no missed calls. when this happens i have a good signal and am able to call out.
Its definately not because i was using data services at the time and not lack of signal.
I have rooted the phone, but still with a stock rom (ke7 ?)
Anyone got any ideas ?
The handset ? The sim card ? or the network ?
All the best
have fun

i have the same issue as you ...
the only solution that i found is to set my phone is GSM MODE only but you will loose your 3g/h data and only use EDGE

Lo Rich. Miggy round?(private joke)
Was wondering, was the phone on charge when it missed the calls/texts?
it could be any number of things, really. if your sim card is not fairly new i would replace it just to be on the safe side. you might try hard resetting your phone (which will delete all your info so back it up first) and starting over.
do you have any apps that block data connections at various times? if so i would delete that app and use the phone for a few days without it to see if the issue goes away.
have you flashed a different radio? if so, try the one that matches your rom, or try the newest one you can find.
there are many possible causes, but if i were in your position i would hard reset it and not install any apps that might interfere with your connection to the network and i would make sure my sim card was fairly new. if the issue still persists you might try asking for an exchange if possible.
If upu have the phone on GSM only then incoming calls go directly to voicemail when data bursts are happening (which is often). So switch to 3g to fix.
If you're not on GSM then I have no idea, maybe no signal in that area...
Thanx
Ok theres possibly been a development with this.
But first a big thanx to all your suggestions, and my response to them.
Seems a bit pointless having such a device then crippling some of it just to get the basic phone part to work. although switching to gsm only may be a temporary solution.
Fault occurs either on charge or not.
Fault has occured whilst at home where all data connections are disabled and wi-fi exclusively used. I havent tried flashing a different radio yet, but it is still on the latest ?? ke7 ? firmware. Sim card was brand new a couple of weeks ago.
So gsm only wont help, but as above when at home i use wi-fi.
Now i spoke to my network, talk mobile a few days ago, they say it will take more than 5 days for their IT dept to contact me to try and sort this ! as i can still make calls they dont see it as a major fault ??? Looks like customer care is not important to them.
I have also spoke to the company i purchased from(wish i hadnt as customer DISatisfaction appears high on their list of prioritys)mobiles.co.uk. I was speaking to someone at their Fullfillment team yesterday about getting another handset sent out, but for some reason i couldnt finish arranging it yesterday. Then early yesterday eve one of their guys rang me back out of the blue to say he had been looking into my fault and had found something not quite right with the original connection they had set up. He was honest enough to admit it was a bit beyond his knowledge and was getting someone from the connections dept to help him. they are going to re-do my connection and for me to wait 24hrs for this to be sorted and hopefully it should be ok after that. All credit to Leeroy at mobiles.co.uk.
The only problem now is other than getting someone to ring me every 1/2hr, how do i know if its working or not ?
I guess the best i can do is leave it a while and see if i get any more complaints that people cant get hold of me.
Once again many thanx for all your suggestions, i will update this when i am confident it has or hasnt been fixed.
many thanx
have fun

this happens to me perhaps every other day
i get a txt saying so and so called but left no message
my reception is fine and my phone has been sitting in one place on 3 bars
i call the person and they said they tried to call and it went straight to voicemail
the txt arrives instantly so i am putting up with just calling people back as its not very frequent
plus i have 1200 mins so i need to use them!
I have the same problem and I believe mine has something to do with the way the towers handle the switch from 3g to edge. You said you get a text message showing a missed call, I think that would be usefull to me also until we can get this fixed. Are you using google voice to get your sms, if not what?
I have the exact same problem, and it's beginning to interfere with my work. The HSDPA signal here is very weak. So I switched it to GSM only, which resolved my signal problem, but I keep missing calls. All I get is a sms saying that I missed a call. Would my problems be solved if I had full HSDPA signal the entire time? You said that calls are missed when data bursts are happening on GSM only? I almost never receive a call the first time. Only after ~3 attempts would they get a hold of me.
Any help would be very much appreciated.
I have this rather obscure problem, and i hope some of you can help.
Over xmas (just before actually) , i changed from Three to Tesco mobile. Calls have been fine and i unlocked my phone with Galaxsim unlock tool prior to moving over (i had a three locked handset).
Recently however, within the last week or so, I have been having call troubles. I will be on a call for any length of time, usually calls over around 5 minutes are more common, the phone line will just go silent, I can't hear them, they can't hear me. The call still says in progress and is all green etc. So I press end call, and it takes AROUND 5 - 10 SECONDS to go from grey (requested end call), to red (ended call). I then have to ring back the person and apologise.
This is definatly me as its happened to numerous people ive rang.
Ive tried changing kernel, changing modem, and different rom from full wipe. These put off the problem for a few smaller calls but I just had the instance again a second ago - rendering no solution.
Can anyone advise as to what may be the cause? I've searched threads and googled, but not much is exactly like this...
Cheers
A battery pull and sim card reseat did the trick. Fingers crossed.

I have a G925A AT&T version - unlocked. I've been using it on Straight Talk for the past year with no problems. Switched to T-Mobile last week and everything seems to have been going fine. However my husband has had issues where nearly every time he calls me, he hears very loud buzzing-static when I answer the phone and I just hear silence on my end. But the call always goes through when he tries a second time. We thought it was his cell phone (Huawei Honor 8) having problems but today he called me from his landline at work and he heard the exact same loud buzzing-static noise while I got silence. So it has to be something with my S6 Edge. I've searched online and am coming up empty and I can't even figure out if it must be a setting I need to change for T-Mobile or maybe my phone is going bad?

Hmm - were they able to fix it? Sounds like I'll have to go in to T-Mobile and talk to them, then. This can't go on - it's literally every other phone call and the sound is so loud my husband is afraid it's going to damage his phone.
