Over the weekend I had to dial 911 from my house. I got a message saying "All circuits are busy, please try again later." My phone went into emergency mode, as indicated by an icon in the notification bar and a timer on the screen. I tried calling twice, a few minutes apart. I ended up sending someone across the street to call.
I called Verizon today to ask about the situation and disclosed that I'm rooted and running a custom ROM (currently Nonsensikal 16.1). The guy told me that it's common for custom software to mess up some types of calls including 911 and 411. I have no trouble calling 411.
So, my question: Is this true? Can a custom ROM really prevent you from calling 911? Was it just coincidence that I couldn't connect? Is there some other problem? How might I test a possible fix?
To my knowledge out can be somewhat true but unlikely since your phone connected and the message "all circuits busy" is something that happens on emergency service lines. It happens when a high volume of calls are coming in to 911. Verizon people are not associated with custom roms and usually don't know much on the subject

So today I just called 911. Went through just fine. They told me the "all circuits are busy" msg was not from them. Im thinking that was Verizon's lines being busy and had nothing to do with custom software.

i have read somewhere that someone who had a rooted eris and a custom rom had to call 911. when they tried to dial it something happened with the rom that 911 didnt work or wouldnt complete. so it has happened before
Not saying it wouldn't happen on a custom rom but the reports are few and far between

Having a problem making calls. When I dial via Google Voice, or by clicking a number in my browser, a +1 gets added to the number, and as a consequence I get an error stating the network is busy. If I delete the +1 before dialing I have no problem connecting.
I've played with various options that I found, to no avail.
I'm running Liquid Gingersense 1.6 (happened on 1.5, too), and I honestly can't remember if it happened on my stock 2.2.1
any help?
I'd guess it's a problem with your ROM. I run the current "stock" software (rooted, minus bloatware). I have all my Google Voice numbers entered as E.123 numbers, e.g. +1(800)555-1212. Works fine, as it should.
+1 is the country code for the USA.

Double post.
I'm aware it's the long distance code (and that I double posted..wasn't sure where I'd get the most traffic).
Problem is that i get the error "network busy. Please try again later". This happens even if I manually type the +1 before a number. So really the fact it's getting added isn't the problem. But it is superfluous.
So my question, part 2, should be: do you think it's still a ROM issue or a VZW issue.

Does anyone know how to get a network extender to work with cm7dx2 or eclipse 1.0.4? When you make a call you shoult hear 2 tones saying that your connected to it, it is not doing that since i put either of these roms on my dx2. I've tried #48 but is says the feature update could not be completed. I do know when i was on stock, the phone did connect to it. any sugestions? Thanks.

You might want to reprogram the phone. Dial *228 and select option 2. After it's done dial *228 again and select option 3 to update your roaming database.
tried that and it still isnt working. I'm going back to stock later to see if it will connect to it.
My extender world with CM7X2 no problem. Now one thing I was explained if you were an Altel convert you had to use a hybrid PRL to make it work.

always been with verizon. I placed a call with support, and still waiting for the tech to call my phone instead of my wifes phone since she isnt home during the day. The tech cant seem to call the number i give him in his voice mail. He said in the voicemail that they didnt see any errors in the extendor. I just want to get this working.
I have a problem with my wife's Droid 3 just sucking in general. They will have to send a field engineer out to look at the surrounding signal before they will offer to give you a new extender

I'm having this weird issue it seems every weekend now, for some reason my SMS do not send using the stock SMS or a 3rd party app. However I can send and receive my SMS through Google Voice? I called *2 and it run those serious of test but the Voice test connection usually fails. I then hit PRL Update and it supposedly updates my PRL but still have a failed Voice test. After repeatedly doing this sometimes it will pass the Voice & Data test and then all these text that I did not receiev through my stock SMS or 3rd party app will all start coming in rapidly. Anyone else have this issue? Yes, I'm rooted and it has happened on all my ROMS that I have used. Thanks
Sprint is adding the Network Vision update to their towers. I have had the same issues in the past. I fixed it by a complete wipe, unroot, stock Rom, called Sprint went through the usual bs, and it worked.
You're saying i need to go back to Stock?
That's what helped with mine. Wish you didn't have to. Full wipe, stock Rom, unroot. Best bet for sms to work. It could be a bug in sprints network, I would wait to unroot and wipe. But its up to you. Just a question when you spoke with Sprint, were you rooted and ROMed?
It's weird cause I still can get SMS through Google Voice though?
That's through Sprint-Google Voices servers-Phone. That means you most likely will have to put to stock.
I'm stock now and on my second EVOLTE and both phones had this issue. My current stock EVOLTE still has this issue.

I'm on charmeleon Rom v.5.0.0 without any issues. Maybe both of you flash that, and tell me if its fixed. It could be a radio issue, which the Rom does address.
I did use Charmeleon ROM and had this issue! The issue comes and goes very inconsistent. Since around approximately 9/10p the issue has stopped.

Could be a sense issue, perhaps an ota will solve the issue. Sorry for your troubles. I know HTC Sense does have a "bug" (they say its a "feature" but its not.) That you're radios become weaker at 7pm-7am to conserve battery.
I think it is a sprint issue. For example when i use the stock or 3rd party SMS, in some areas of the city I won't get text all, but when I enter another area I will get all my text at once. Then they start to repeat themselves at least 3 or 4 times throughout the day. It sucks.

Agreed. I'm actually starting to have problems with 3G and the network. It's a sprint problem, sorry if I caused any inconvenience to either of you! It was well worth a try!
No issue or hard feelings NP, this forum is all about helping others. I know you where just trying to help out and I appreciate your responding! It's funny cause I'm having this SMS issue now. LOL I've never experienced any network issues with Sprint until now! For now I guess I'll just have to use GV as my SMS app of choice, although you can't send or receive MMS through GV.
Are you both using GV right now? I just installed it back on and had the issue. Didn't occur to me at the time. I will try unpairing my GV number and my number and see if it helps.
I also use GV. I wouldn't mind, but GV is really ugly and limited.

After installing the new beastmode kernel unsuccessfully and installing the crpalmers kernel that I was successfully running, my phone stopped being able to receive or make calls or send texts. However, I was still able to receive texts. I was running superhatka 2.1 and tried installing my backup to fix the issue, but the issue is still here. I tried installing the new superhatka 3.0.3. But the issue is still here, no calls or texts and texts report error code : 65535. FYI my data still works as well as the voicemail notification but I can't make the call to check the voicemail. I've searched the internet's for help and only found a couple similar problems, but no solutions. Tomorrow I'll take it into Verizon for a new SIM to try that (seems like the Verizon peopel are always more clueless than I am though haha). Anyone else having this problem? Or anyone have ideas for a fix?
There are similar issues like this all over this forum that I have read. One solution one person did was install the stock kernel and install a clean rom and his calling was fixed. Never heard the texting issue but I would try this before a replacement sim. Flash a clean rom and the stock kernel and see how it goes. Be sure to report back to us to see if this works out for you.

Thanks for a quick response! I did see a few similar issues, but none that were receiving texts I think. Anyways, I just clean flashed the new superhatka 3.0.3 which now has the ota kernel which is the new stock I think so I think I have basically flashed stock kernels since I can't flash the pre ota stock kernel without reverting to an older baseband right?
Also the dialer isn't force closing. I just tried to make a call and it Said something like "call origination failed due to immediate signal loss." I looked this up and saw found that people with this issue had towers down in their area, but I have been using another phone without issue so I don't believe that's the case. My mobile internet works fine unlike others with the same signal loss message
Fixed
Took it into verizon and it took them about a half hour and 2nd level tech support to refresh all service connections with the phone on their end. Problem fixed now
Yeah that happened to me when I ran a samsung continuum as my daily phone I flashed a new leak and my data was gone they had to get me to level 2 support and refresh to get my data. I'm glad that was all they had to do and you didn't need to get a replacement. Glad to hear your back up!

Hi
I've searched around and read a lot but couldn't find the answer to my problem.
Here is my issue.
When I dial a number, it tries to call then ends the call right away before it even rings.
Can't receive calls either.
Can't send sms, nor receive sms.
Additional info.
I have full signal and it says my carrier on the status bar
Imei is correct - same as back of phone
Phone is unlocked - checked status
Unlocked with Galaxsim unlock, paid version
used repair gsii by helroz, didn't work
apn is picked up by the phone
carrier sim applications menu shows but don't work
Went back to stock with mobile odin, all the way to gingerbread which I'm using right now.
Please advice on what to do, any help is appreciated.
Interesting; I've never heard of this particular problem before. The first thing I would try would be a different modem, because that's a very easy fix. Also, incorrect APN's could be a factor, even though you say you've already checked that. I would advise checking them again - slowly. Sometimes something as simple as an extra space (or lack thereof, in the case of the 'default,supl' portion of the APN) can cause them not to work correctly.
Good luck.
I've flashed different modems and that didn't work.
Caller ID in settings give error network or sim card problem it says.
Btw I'm trying with different by Sims and both work on other phones.
Apn is correct I double checked. It picked it up auto.
Let me if you think of something else.
Thanks.
