The past few days people are telling me that they have been trying to call me but my phone never rings and I dont get missed calls. I am running ec01 with jts latest voodoo...

That's where the DL09 modem comes in handy. That crap happened to me starting with the EB01 modem. Another stupid step that helps (which we shouldn't have to do) is to reboot device in airplane mode. Or your friends are just lying and really don't wanna talk to you.
good day.
Airplane mode toggle doesn't help (for me at least). I had this problem with EB01 and EC01 radio with different roms and kernels. Going back to EA28/DL09 radio is the only way to have reliable phone for me.
To OP: where are you from? I see that mostly people from Chicagoland area have this problem so...
Same exact thing happened to me first morning after jumping to EC01. Reboot fixed the problem for me. Haven't received any voicemails without receiving missed calls since, so I'm assuming the problem is fixed.
EC01/nitro honeycomb
Maybe it's fixed but you never know. On EB01 I've had this problem once and then it was working fine for 2 weeks but had it again and when I really needed to reached by phone. EC01 was fine for 2 days also but it happened again. So it was not acceptable for me and I went back to EA28 radio. Maybe next radio release (if ever) will be better.
same problem for me running ec01 rom and radio ...went back to sc2.9.2 with dl09...people tell me that they try and try with no answer on ec01...oh well

So I've done a lot of searching and haven't really found anything definitive. I've found that with some roms I'll lose GPS signal after a certain amount of time (say 10-30 minutes) and have to turn GPS off and back on or reboot the phone. I saw something about flashing a different radio may make a difference. Kinda just wanted to see other peoples thoughts on the issue or if maybe there is something else I can do before I go flashing a different radio.
Currently running CELB 4.1 and baseband 2.42.01.04.27 and I have the issue.. I've had it with most of Tazz's roms as well. KaosFroyo is the only one Ive used that I've never seen the issue with, but I'm really diggin CELB right now and this is the ONLY issue I've got with it.
Have you tried GPS status in the market? I know it will help you lock in a signal, so it would make sense that it would also help keep your GPS locked in.

I have now.. I did the reset and download options in the program. Too bad this isn't something I can quickly test. I'll report back with the results. Thanks!
I have noticed this as well. Last time it happened to me it was 4:30 in the morning, and the "GPS lost" message came up about 180 seconds before I had to make two freeway changes in an area I'd never been before. (CELB 3.9 and same radio as your case). Fortunately for me I had reviewed the route, so I more or less knew what to do.
If I recall correctly, it has always happened after the Nav app had been running for a fair bit of time - at least 30 minutes or more.
However, I don't know if it is something about the root ROMs or not - I started using rooted ROMs back in March or so, so I really don't have a tremendous operating baseline on stock 2.1 ROMs to compare it to. Maybe it is a problem there, too!
If I recall correctly, the last time it happened, I just pulled up GPS Status and asked it reload the aGPS state (without exiting the Nav app), and the Nav app seemed to gracefully recover.
Annoying? Yeah. I don't know what can be done about it, though - like the "undead calls" problem, it happens so infrequently that it is hard to know whether or not a ROM change actually fixes the problem.

I had the same problem with every 2.2 rom I used GPS with. I decided to go back to 2.1 because I have been needing GPS alot more often lately but I havent tested it out since I made the switch. I'll try it out today and report the results tonight.
This same thing seemed to happen on the 2.1, CyanogenMod 5 based ELB by Conap as well. If it is happening with all of the 2.2 ROMs, I wonder if it's just a CyanogenMod issue?
See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=6812308#post6812308 (this was not the only person reporting it, if you search that thread.)
I really don't think it's ALL 2.2 CM roms though. I've gone on 7 hour car trips with Kaos Froyo without a single drop.. to and from. I've seen another theory somewhere around here about it being certain hardware revisions that act this way with certain software builds. At lease we've got a thread dedicated to this issue now.. maybe we can get something figured out.
Still don't know if the GPS status program helps.. I left navigation turned on for a bit sitting in my house and it stayed connected for the half an hour I left it, just don't think that's gonna be an accurate test with not moving around and all. If it doesn't work I will try a different radio.. I saw somewhere one guy had good luck with a specific older version radio. If that's what it comes down to I'll try.
I have been having issues with the GPS working on both of my phones while using 2.2 roms. I switched to 2.1 a few days ago and I used the GPS on my way to work this morning and didnt have any issues. I also had to flash Senseable a couple of months ago while on a road trip because I was tired of loosing the GPS signal every half hour. It may be a CM thing.
Im having the same issues as well. Haven't found a fix yet..
I've had this issue, after I flashed KaosFroyo(v36), and XTR(4 i think). I recently unrooted using Flashback21 v1 and flashed with the radio included. I have gone back to xtr 5 now and have had no lost gps in over a week. Don't have a clue as to why. hope it helps someone.

give us another update. is the gps problem still fixed for you? Thanks!
I have flashed the radio directly with the verizon zip file that is around and I still get inconsistent results But it always drops a signal eventually in about a 1/2 hour

I've seen it on several ROM's as well. From what i've messed with, it doesn't seem to be dependent on the autokiller memory preset, radio firmware, or amount of overclocking i'm doing. It doesn't seem to be dependent on how many programs are running either. I usually have nav and pandora running while i'm in the car, and sooner or later, the gps poops out.
I feel like it seems to happen less, now that i'm back to using the on-demand governor. but that could just be in my head.
I've had to go back to a 2.1 rom because of it. Its very annoying when the goa signal gets lost right before the exit ramp.

Im thinking of going back to a 2.1 rom as well...
I have also seen the same results on any 2.2 or higher rom. I have since returned to XTRRom 5.0 and have not had a single problem with GPS on any of my jogging runs. I definitely think it is a CM thing. At least on my phone.
Using kaosfroyo v39 and I flashed that sprint phone radio on my eris and haven't had any gps issues. In fact, just the opposite. Mine would lock up before the v39 and the radio flash
I flashed that radio as well and today not one issue at all. Will test more tomorrow
I'm using the 2.42.02.10.29 sprint radio and still seeing it drop out.

Today I even flashed back to the July 2010 version (2.42.01.04.27). the gps dropped out almost every 5 minutes while i was driving around. that's the worst i've seen. So i flashed back to the 2.42.02.10.29 sprint radio again. I haven't seen very good navigation performance on the v1.1 gingershedbread overall, actually. my position on the gps nav doesn't update very often, although it seemed like the voice instructions were still pretty well timed as usual.
I have 2 phones both running SC 2.8 and the NitroDark theme. Pretty basic. Heytell does not work properly. We can both receive messages and hear them, however when we send them they are blank on the recipient's end. My kids are about to kill us because they hate texting. Does anyone have any thoughts as to what is stepping on the program? The issue is identical with both Fascinate phones we have and they have been flashed the exact same way.
Much thanks in advance!
Update: I went back to stock Di01 and Heytell is fine. I proceeded to odin the base EB01 and it broke. I tried going to the DL09 modem, same result. I emailed Heytell and they have seen the issue but have no clue. Anyone have any suggestions? Please? lOL

I have the same issue on my Samsung Captivate, it only works properly on stock 2.1 for me...It doesn't even work on the Official 2.2 for me, the developer told me they have no trouble running it. If I come across anything, I will be sure to update you as well as I think these issues are related.
Thanks, Pete. Good to hear I am not alone. I emailed Heytell and they said they do not know what the issue is with Froyo and the Samsung phones, but it exists. I had to take my phones back down to DL09 to get it to work and let me tell you I have tried every modem, every radio, every EB01 ROM that I could find, same issue every time. I let one phone get the OTA EA28 from an original Di01 base and it quit working after that ota update. Frustrating.
Yep, I have the same problem on SC 2.9.1 and EB16 kernel; it became unresponsive and then crashed every time I tried to send a message. I suspect that HeyTell is using MMS to send the audio and perhaps there is an issue there with the way Sammy phones send MMS. I haven't had issues sending images to friends using MMS, but maybe there is an issue with audio.
i heard that DL09 modem/baseband was the best. this is my wifes phone and shes running SC 2.9.2 voodoo. shes been having a hard time recieving phone calls. say 1/5 calls would go through. rest of the time it would just ring ring then to voicemail. is anyone having similar problem and is DL09 compatible with SC roms with voodoo?? this is my only last resort. thx for the help anyone.
I had the same issue. All is fine on the DL09 modem. Just flash it using odin (pda) no wipe is needed and it takes :27 seconds.
good day.
. thx! for the quick reply
Yup. I just installed DL09 modem with the froyo roms and am having no problems. ...better reception so far

I love the DL09 modem, but I have ONE issue with it. EVERY reboot, it will RESEND RANDOM (yes, TOTALLY random) text messages to random people. Anyone else have that issue? I'm on Superclean 2.9.2 Voodoo. It's really odd. I flashed the EB01 modem back, though I never really had issues with that to begin with.
I can't seem to find a link for the DL09 modem, anyone have a link for it?
Link containing the DL09 modem, as well as kern and rom but all separate.
Radios ought to be stickied to keep them from falling to far back out of sight.

It safe to just flash the EC01 Radio over sc 2.9.2? Thanks
if you look through the post, numerous people have done so, including myself.. though im still on 2.9.1, ec10 voodoo kernel

Yes, I did.
I flashed the EC01 rom and modem early on Sunday and did the usual *228 stuff. 5 hours after flash I get a voice mail notification but no missed call (here we go again). So sadly I find myself back on the DL09 modem.
Signal on EC01 modem at home -91dBm.
Same place 3 minutes later on the DL09 modem -79dBm.
It sucks that I'm happy with everything else on this device except for what it is intended to be. (A F'ing PHONE). So your millage may vary just keep that old modem handy.
good day.

Pardon my noobishness, how would I go about finding out what my signal db is. I live right next to two diff towers and an airport and rarely see more than one bar of signal.

I've been getting that notification too... for some reason sometimes it's getting sent to the carrier's voicemail and not google.. it's so annoying

I was having the same problem also..if you decide to try the ec01 modem again try this..after you flash it just turn airplane mode for around 5 minutes and switch it off then your all set..weird solution but it works some guy on the release forum posted it and it helped me out

Doesn't work for me. I was having missed calls issue on EB01 and had it on EC01 yesterday for the first time. Right now I'm in the process of full DI01 restore to get EA28 OTA. EA28 works the best for me, shame that we don't have EA28 modem files so full restore is needed when something is not right with new modem.
I have had no problem with this modem....I'm sorry that people are...even better with tw 4/15 kernal update!

Hi! My service bars will sometimes completely drop (I am in full coverage area), and I can't call/send text messages, then it will come back randomly.
I am not sure what caused this, i have tried different radios (EC01,EC09,ED01,ED05) and they all seem to do the same thing.
Any ideas on a fix for this?
Thanks!
(currently on MIUI)
Update: It happens when I am trying to send a text message normally, at the exact same time my service will switch from 3G to 1X.. this is really starting to annoy me. Any ideas guys?
^^occurs now without sending messages
Update #2: Flashed DL09 Stock Eclair Rom, everything booted up fine, did *228 opt 1 & 2, for some reason option 2 wouldn't work, i had to retry it about 4 times before it worked.
I am in a full coverage area and only receiving 0-1 bar of service, and I should be getting 3G but keep locking on to the 1x more often than not
& THIS IS ON THE STOCK ROM which i originated from. I just don't get it
I may just try going in to verizon and getting a replacement? I just don't understand what caused this.
Since your on miui, I would think ec09 radio should be your best bet..have you done a*228 option 2 on ec09? In my experience the ec09 radio has been the best one hands down.
Also the 3g symbol disappearing the moment you send a text is normal and you haven't necessarily lost 3g..it will switch to 1x to send and receive texts/mms.

I have tried EC09 on MIUI and it didn't change anything. When I do *228 it says it completed through the voice on the phone, but the text on the phone says that it failed, so then I just reboot.
This issue has persisted now on ALL Roms, Eclair, Froyo, GB, MIUI MTD or CM7, it hasn't mattered. Or it doesn't matter what radio.
I went into Verizon today and am having a replacement sent to me, so hopefully I will never have this issue again but am scared to try again since this problem has occurred previously...
Now no matter what radio/rom combo whether froyo, eclair, or gb I am on,
my DATA will either not even download ANYTHING from the market or even connect, and if it does it is slow as nails and doesn't ever finish the download. It is the oddest thing. I have always done clean flashes, but it seems like I have ****ED UP my fascinate, it doesn't make sense though because it is all software and not hardware...
^I have tested this on 3 rome already, stock ED01, EF voodoo, and MIUI, ALL of them do the same thing, and this is with clean flashes, clean modem and cam stuff
i just don't understand. I have only made software changes, always used a pit file, only bricked my phone once, and it was a soft brick..
