Hello! I have been kind of tracking an issue, and it seems that there is just no rhyme or reason to it.
I seem to miss somewhere between 25-50% of my incoming calls. I'll be in full 3G service in a lot of these instances, GVoice alerts me to a new VM which is my clue.
I tend to listen to the VM then return the call and always ask if they just called, and it is always within just a few short minutes. So the VM is getting to me, but not the call.
I thought that maybe my ringer was getting turned down - not the case.
I thought that maybe things were going awry, but every time I test, the phone rings as expected...
I am running KangBang(CommRom)1.3 with the OTB Kernel (v1.3 as well) and my radio is ED01.
Unfortunately I cannot say when the issue started - it may have been there from the get-go, but unknown to me. I can, however hypothesize that I have seen this issue over more than one radio (and therefor ROM and kernel) version...
I am at a loss and rather unsure how to proceed on troubleshooting the problem.
I did call Verizon Tech Support today to try to make some progress, but they simply had me do a *228 2 to reset roaming and test. Of course the test call came through (like when you have a rattle that won't reproduce at the mechanic's shop).
The tech who helped me was really kind and actually SMS'ed his info to me in case I need it, so I have an avenue, but I think it best to return the call with things to try. I would greatly appreciate any assistance in coming up with things to try.
TIA.
had an issue where i missed 2 or 3 calls when i first switched over to new radio and ROM, I re-wiped and reflashed everything again, radio, ROM, and kernel and haven't had any missed calls since,
give that a try, just back up everything with TiBu
I will give that a try.
I did a full wipe this weekend when I was trying the 1.4 kernel, but I then restored a CWM backup, so I'll give that a go.
Many thanks.
I have the same issue everytime I do a fresh install of Google Voice after a long period of not using it. Check your GV settings, try toggling 'do not disturb.' I can't really pinpoint what fixed it, but all is well now.

This sounds like an issue with Google Voice and not your phone or rom. I'd uninstall and redo as well as double check all settings, do *228 (both options), reboot, etc.
Samsung/USCC have acknowledged a missed calls issue on the Mesmerize that they are working on releasing a fix for. No idea if it's possible that the Fascinate has the same issue but I wouldn't be surprised.
Thanks for this! I did re-wipe all data and caches to no avail. Had not even considered GV as a culprit... Many thanks!

Anyone else have this problem? I don't get calls from certain people. Sometimes I don't get sms that they send. My gf can't get a hold of me by calling and sometimes our sms don't arrive at the other end. We're both on verizon, she has a feature phone. I'm using a gingerbread rom now, but this problem happened with someone else on a different rom I was using months ago. That time too the other person was on verizon with a feature phone. I'm going to wipe and install Ivan's eris official to troubleshoot, the next step is to try and get verizon involved.
Sounds like the issues I had when my apn was "lost". Search for the "apn fix", it's in a ton of threads since most cm roms have had the issue.
Wrong forum BTW

could be that your phone is stuck in low memory state, try deleting all the apps you don't use, and boot into recovery and wiping dalvic cashe, reboot, might want to look into cashe2cashe

This happened between me and my wife, My daughter had placed me in my wifes blacklist, you might want to check just in case.
thanks for all the replies!
ianoob- i will try this, thanks for the info! i found .mak's apn fix here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=684856
rigbyrobot- hmm... i keep my installs pretty lean, putting as many apps on the sd as possible.
Sparticusx- i considered that, but it does not explain the intermittent missing sms.
update: flashed ivan's eris official, gf's call went right through. next i flashed Ginn Tazz followed by gapps and .mak's apn fix and all seems well. thanks again!
i just recently flashed the comrom v.0.1 but then my phone wouldnt connect to 3g. it could make calls and connect to wifi, but doesnt connect to 3g. after i got off from a call i received, it was connected to 3g for about 10 seconds, but went back to normal after 10 seconds. I did flash the ec09 modem/radio, but still the same problem. Thank you for your help
I've been experiencing similar problems but with Com rom 2.1, however my 3g data is sporadic at best, I'll have data for a few minutes then it will drop, then I'll get it back a handful of seconds, sometimes even minutes later, it's rather annoying since it prevents me from doing even the simplest of tasks with my phone. I've tried flashing to the EC09 modem hoping that it was an issue with the modem but it looks like it probably isn't. I've heard that it could possibly be fixed by doing an ESN swap, but then again the results were mixed, it worked for some, and then for others it'd do absolutely nothing.
and how will i do that? and my phones not connecting to 1x nor 3g,
I have had very good results with dialing *22899 send, it doesn't do the voice, after it rings press option 2. Let it finish, you'll get a commit successful message and have to let phone reboot. After it reboots do it a second time, it says it set lock code and.lock password, idk what those are, but 3g works really good for me after that.

If this doesn't work try pulling the battery as well.
If that still doesn't work you may have to go this route:

I know I wrote this based upon the assumption that the issue was the conversion to MTD, however that may not be the case. Before trying this, if you post a logcat I can look at it and tell you if you are having the same issue that I was.
Jp
and how would i post a logcat?
i think this is the logcat you were asking about, i didnt know which portion you needed, so i posted all.
Well, I can tell you that you are not having the same issue that I experienced. So, I don't expect that re-activating your phone using the method I described will have any effect. If all else fails, you are welcome to try it but I don't anticipate that it'll work.
From looking at your logcat, I saw a connection attempt that failed and a second that appeared to be successful. I could be wrong about the second one as I am still trying to figure out exactly what I'm looking at. Someone with a little more experience may be able to get more out of your log.
Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

So i updated my phone to CheckRom and kernel to NEAK and then Syhia.
For some reason, some of my calls keep going straight to voice mail since then. I thought maybe it was an issue with some app, so i did a wipe install of Checkrom and installed the NEAK kernal. But still same issue.
I then changed the kernal to Syhia and still some calls go straight to voicemail.
Anyone have any clue why? Any suggestions? Would greatly appreciate the help.
I had a similar problem. go to menu, settings, call, and turn off call rejection.
Hopefully its a similar issue u are having.
Whatever the issue is it's not kernel or rom related. It's purely a network setting issue. And these vary from carrier to carrier. Call your carrier.
Thanks for the reply guys. Sorry took me this long to post back.
Well i wanted to stay on the custom rom, so i did try installing it again, and i thought that since it is a full wipe, it will fix the issues. I also did a wipe cache/dalvik chache manually.
Any hows getting no where, i resotred using my original backup and everything seems to be fine. No one has complained about it, so i am guessing its all well now.
I had restored it before mrwarlock43's suggestions, but i do remember making sure that the blacklist was empty. So i never turned call rejection off.
All running now i guess. Just going to wait until ICS or the next rom before i reflash again.
Cheers and thanks for the help guys.
Hi everyone!
So I've been Google and forum-scouring for about 2 days without much success (keeping in mind I don't understand much of the technical jargon).
I have a Samsung Fascinate i500 from Verizon, running on PagePlus Cellular with AOKP 4.2.2 ROM installed and generally have loved it. Coming from EH03, the new ROM has completely turned around and vastly improved the usability of the phone, and I am very grateful.
I have had a few problems, however, that I can't seem to figure out. Perhaps someone can instruct, in layman's terms?
1) I do not receive MMS at all. The message shows up in the notification window, but when I open it up in either the default messaging app or Verizon Messages it disappears. I have turned on my data and turned off Wifi, replaced some XML files and re-installed the ROM. No such luck.
2) Yesterday I lost the abilitiy to send and receive SMS as well. I re-installed the ROM and now everything is fine, but I really would like to know what I could have potentially done wrong to avoid it in the future. I contacted PagePlus Customer Support who walked me through several trouble shooting steps and it seems the problem is the hardware and not the service.
3) Bluetooth simply connects to nothing. I have a stereo in my car that connects to the speakers for hands-free talking which worked seamlessly on Gingerbread. However the two pieces of hardware no longer as much as detect each other. I found no one else who had this problem. Are my Google skills really that bad?
4) I have been using Fusion as my default music player and randomly yesterday, all my music stopped showing up (stored on a 32gb UH-1 SanDisk microSDHC card). After re-installing the ROM, everything is back to normal. Is this a problem in the app, in the ROM, or in the user?
Thanks so much in advance for helping out a n00b!
Bump. I'm also not getting speakerphone sound. Help?

Thanks for the advice. I gave it a whirl and it seems to have corrected most of the problems.
I'm still not getting any speakerphone sound during calls though and I just found out I'm also not receiving notifications about new voicemails…there goes that job interview.
Any suggestions?

That could be a bug in the build but idk, bbrad is right the ICS builds are more stable, I don't use my fascinate much but to play music but I'm running Paranoid Android and it seems pretty stable and running well with devil kernel(includes cwm inside the zip).PA includes twrp recovery. Hope this helps

The notification problem is with android 4.2.x itself and the fact that their target phone base are those with 4g lte capability,,, which of course we don't have,, but it's coded that way and causes those phones with 3g only to hang during the voicemail process...
One of the best workarounds is to install Google Voice, there are also others in the play store that offer "voicemail notification",,, but not many have mentioned them in the fassy forums,,, but i skimmed through one day and reviews looked good. Some people don't like the Google monopoly, but it doesn't bother me, i use what i need and enjoy the integration
Another option is the GeeWiz ROM he has patched his to fix the problem of sorts,
He offered the patch, i believe, to cm and others but they never really seemed to latch onto the fix that I'm aware of..
.
That random music not showing up issue happened to me twice, except it was on CM10.1 nightlies. I am downgrading to ICS as of today, but sometimes the phone screws up reading the SD card. What i did was:
1. reboot
2. unmount SD card in Settings>storage
3. remove SD card (take off battery cover, the slot's in there)
4. reinsert the card
5. wait for around 2 minutes
6. reboot
7. go to the music app (I had Apollo) and see if your library is there
8. if it isn't there, force close the app and go through those steps again
it only happened twice over the course of two weeks. just make sure everything's clean and you're set.
Hey folks. So I finally took the leap to root and flash a custom rom (Lineage 16.0). I started on VS996 and had to cross-flash to US998 with the Frankenstein method. From there, I installed TWRP and rooted. Upgraded to US99820h before jumping to Lineage and even ran with it for a bit. Everything was going very well. I got through the set up, logged in to Google and started getting things synced, but soon discovered that my cellular abilities are dead. I have no ability to send or receive calls or texts from within the rom, but have a signal and curiously even internet over mobile data. The real problem is that it's not just limited to Lineage.
I reflashed the stock image and tried a new version of Lineage first. Same issue. Then I tried AOSiP. No luck. Here, the research I was doing was getting me worried that maybe my SIM died somewhere in this process. I tried out an old AT&T prepaid one, but it gave me no service whatsoever, not even the normal bars I had with the other SIM. I decided to go back to US99820h to see if I could still get texts on stock firmware. I could! It was good to feel connected and catch up on my texts from the past day. But this is far from over.
I did more research online, looking into ways to check on my APN settings. Compared to various sources online, they all seem good. I tried to add another APN, but have had no luck with that. I tried Havok out too. I really don't know what else I can do. Am I just doomed to live in the stone ages of Android 8? I can't really afford to give up telephony. I know there are other people here that came from VS996 too and seem to be running well. Or at least I think so. Is there something else that I can try? Any fixes or convoluted steps that I can take to get past this?
Any help, ideas, support, encouragement, or points in a good direction would be deeply appreciated.
This is a common issue. There is currently a small group trying to figure out how to get Sprint/Verizon services to work without any issue on AOSP/custom ROMs. I'm anticipating a release sometime as well, but it's been quite a while.
Until then, if you have a copy of Tasker installed, you can run a custom script to make a phone call to voicemail upon boot to "activate" service, then end the task 7-8 seconds in. However if your phone dozes then you may lose push notifications until you open your phone or messaging apps again.

Hey, thanks for the idea! I've not had time to try that until this weekend, but it seems that it's not going to be an option. Unfortunately every time I try to make a call, my phone freezes and I have to reboot. I don't know what to do from here.
UPDATE: Flashed the newest version of Lineage (the 06/10 build) and the voicemail thing works! We're up and running for now.
