I recently reinstalled faria crossbow on my g4 wizard (T-mobile MDA unlocked to AT&T) and went from radio 2.25.11 to 3.02, because I was having the common missed calls problem. I always used faria crossbow in the past (for 2 years now) without any problems to speak of.
I noticed this morning that when I go to check my voicemail I can't press any keys in-call to delete or repeat my messages. I can hear the tones as the buttons are pushed, but they do nothing to my voicemails. This also applies to any other calls which use touchtone features, like calling the bank or my insurance company and needing to press '0' for operator. It seems there is no communication between the phone and the network once a call is established.
I tried searching for this issue on google, but its a hard issue to condense into a search term ("touchtone mda problem", for example). So I'm starting a thread because I've had this problem with an 8525 I bought a couple years ago, and after several months of frustration I ended up selling the phone and going back to the 8125/MDA.
Please help me out!
[FONT="]In my experience, changing the keypad tone from long tones to short tones works for me.[/FONT]

[FONT="]Maybe you can try and see if that helps you, or the reverse of that.[/FONT]

[FONT="]Go to Start, Settings, Personal tab, select Phone and change the Keypad: tone.[/FONT]
seems like it should be something simple like that, but no dice. you say you had the same problem and that fixed it?
I had issues with my banks automated system until I switched to short tones then everything worked.
Since this didn’t work for you there must be some other issue.
You could backup your phones info and try a hard reset.

Okay, so I've never posted here before.. I've only lurked enough to figure out how to install a WM6 ROM on my phone.
I've been having a lot of problems with my Hermes lately (can't make/receive calls, sim missing, text messages not sending or receiving)... I have not figured out if it's from dropping it too much or if it's because I'd been running a WM6 rom on it. So I decided on Saturday to switch to another version of the WM6 ROM's available around here...
I installed 3DES.3 and so far I've been having more and more issues as far as making and receiving phone calls.
So the issue is that with the slider closed I'd go to the phone screen and then t9 in a user's name and then call them. The call would not connect... I kept trying and normally wouldn't notice the number it's trying to dial, but the phone is trying to dial a 107140 in front of every call made through the t9 dial menu.
Is anyone else experiencing this? Is the ROM trying to make long distance calls on our behalf? Should it be taken off the website?
Thanks guys,
Mitchel

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
the ROM you are talking about isnt exploited to my knowledge... but it is old and i think 3DES has stopped supporting it...
you are also in the wrong Forum... you should have posted in Hermes Windows Mobile 6... download this ROM and try it...
Thanks for the fast reply. I'll switch over to that ROM. Something is definitely up with this ROM though.
Thanks again,

Hi all,
Looking for a bit of help/advice.
On occasions, probably between 1-3 times a day, when I try to make a call on the Hero, the call appears to look like it is dialing out but it just sits there saying 'dialing' but never connects to the destination which can be any UK number / Orange 150 etc. Either rebooting the phone or leaving it for 10 mins or so fixes the problem, but it does become annoying!
At the same time as this happening, when I try to send an SMS, I get the error 'SMS not able to send' in the notification bar. Again, I have to keep trying and it sorts itself out.
A final problem and I am not sure if it is related or not is I have had numerous people try calling me at various times, my phone doesn't ring or display a missed call, nor do I get a missed call SMS but the person who tried calling me said the line was actually ringing first and then went through to voicemail. I have witnessed this myself by calling my phone, getting a ringing line but the phone doesn't respond?
Any ideas of help would be appreciated. This problem has existed on Modaco Roms 2.2, 2.8 and 3.0 - I'm on Orange UK.
Thanks,
Nick
I have the same problem with the Orange Poland. When I logged on to the 3G sometimes you can not call or send SMS. When I switch to the 2G network problem disappears.
Yeah, it is strange, I have done that too, turn off the 3G to 2G and back to 3G which sometimes cures it, but not all the time.
I've tried various things, made sure the apps aren't closed with Taskkiller or anything like that. There is no specific time or occasion it happens, it just does now and again.
Well I have tried everything. I recieved all the settings from my operator , changed over 10 ROMs and gone back to the original too, i tried what you said to turn 3G off , i reset to factory , i unrooted.....Nothing works for me. I just get "Unable to send". I also tried 4 SIMs from different operators !!!
right,
my wifes starting to lose her temper with her hero.
she send over 150 text messages a day, but receiving them seems to be a very hit and miss affair.
she gets texts ok for a while, then gets nothing for 10-20 mins (from what i can tell) then all the ones she has missed arrive all at once.
orange UK have basically told her to naff off and talk to HTC.
so, can anyone tell me whats causing the problems, is it an orange problem, or a phone problem.
if its the phone, whats causing the problem
doing a bit of a search, one explanation seems to be that the phone is running out of memory and it shuts down the text app and relaunches it later on, if so, how can i prevent/stop this happening.
she is on the current rom from HTC which she installed about 10 days ago to try and prevent this.
thanks in advance for any advice / help you can give
from what i have read on the forum it might be a problem with the stock messaging app.
try installing handcent sms or chomp sms from the market and see how that goes.
don't forget to turn off the notifications from the stock sms app or you will get multiple notifications for the same message.
also if your wife is using task killer applications she should put the messaging app on the ignore list!
Me too!
I am having this very same problem, although on a slightly smaller scale (150 texts/day?!). I also get the problem where callers are going straight to my voicemail when the phone is right beside me, receiving full signal, which, to my mind, would seem to be related.
I spoke to Orange who fobbed me off with "oh, there's a mast down in your area, switch to use 2G only", despite my protestations that the problem occurred when I was in different parts of the country...
Interestingly, it happened with my Touch Diamond as well when I first got that, about 18 months ago; I was never sure that it was completely cured, but it sure as hell wasn't as bad as it is now on my 2 month old Hero with stock Orange ROM.
My twopenneth, for what it's worth.
P.
Try a new updated Radio rom maybe? One way to tell if its a network issue is to make calls to 150 for about 10 seconds and see if the stuck messages come through, if so its a network issue. I wouldn't let orange customer service fob you off they don't have the reporting tools to actually look into the issue's.
Hey gang,
I am still having an issue with Dropped calls/Disconnects on the first call made from a fresh boot of the phone, and random dropped calls with the message that i need to deposit more funds.
My device: HTC Eris (i have two of these phones on PPC with the same exact issue)
My plan: T&T 1200
My issues: I get the "Dropped Call/Disconnected" problem EXCEPT with a twist.
EVERY time I reboot my phone (since day one when I joined PPC a few months ago) my first call lasts about 45 seconds then disconnects with no message. I just hear a few beeps and the call is gone. I can then call or receive a call from the person I was just talking to and stay connected as long as I like. I tried to fix this by making my first call to my voicemail, but that didn't work. My first in/out call to a real phone always disconnects within 45 seconds 100% of the time.
My troubleshooting:
Standard programming via *22890. Programming is successful but my problem is not fixed.
*22801 never connects.
*22891 programs correctly but does not fix my issue.
Flashing the VZW/Alltel Hybrid PRL (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=673661) updates the PRL correctly but doesn't fix my issue.
Some have reported that dialing #737 (to get automated PPC account info) after a reboot fixes the problem but it doesn't fix the issue for my two phones
*#*#4636#*#* then select "Phone Information", then scroll down and CDMA auto PRL or CDMA only. Neither fixed the issue.
Any other tips?
I havent had any problems with PP.
it is very strange indeed.
My two phone numbers initially came from Sprint.
We left Sprint and joined Page Plus once I bought two used Eris's locally (Nashville Tennessee area... 615 area code)
I REALLY don't want to have to change my number, but may have to as a last resort.
This issue is driving me nutz. =P
Since I got my phone, this happens: I call someone, we talk for a couple of seconds, then the line goes completely silent for a second or two, and then it comes back.
I tried everything except flashing a whole new ROM and trying a different SIM card. Multiple modems are of no help.
Got tips?
Just to answer those who might have the same problem: I disabled the noise filtering stuff from calling properties, all works pretty much as it should now.
