Suddenly lots of missed calls - Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have UKB 2.0 with EC09 and I have suddenly been missing a lot of calls. I searched but found nothing really on what to try. Any ideas on what I can try?

you need to run a ed05 based kernal... that fixed the missed call issue. I have not had a missed call since early july. Running powerwashed ed05 w/ pbj 0808 voodoo kernal. Rom works flawless!!

If everything was fine till recently. You could try a prl update *228 option 2. I noticed my region got a new prl last week.
good day.

EC09 is the radio and OTB reloaded 1.5 is the kernel.
I'll try the PRL update.

It might help to update roaming. my service is horrible at my house i get missed calls all day lol

Interesting Problem with superclean 2.9 any ideas?

Installed superclean 2.9 with vodoo. EB01 voodoo kernel with no problems. Did this about 2 days ago and all has been awesome. Today had an interesting issue arise, twice today when trying to make an outbound call the phone hangs and won't complete the call. After reboot outbound calls work flawlesly. Any ideas??

It's not an issue with the rom...something is up with all the networks and modems as of late. I've been experiencing it for awhile as I use my phones (Only one is rooted, and tampered with, my fascinate) ALOT. Several ppl are not receiving calls and are unable to make them. If it begins to happen very often, as in every two or three calls, then I'd recommend going back to stock and seeing if the problem persists. If so, it's a hardware/network issue.
Edit: I dialed a number earlier and the phone hung for almost 15 seconds before connecting...no ****.
Glad to know i'm not the only one with problem. I suspected it may be a Verizon problem since I have had no problems with the upgrade to 2.9 till now.

[Q] can you?

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.

Phone not ringing on Froyo

Several users have reported issues with the phone not ringing on the Fascinates. Can anyone who is experiencing this please post here with your ROM, radio and kernel? Maybe we can figure out a pattern.
I've had this issue once on I believe the DL09 radio and the EC10 voodoo stock kernel; I can't remember which Rom but i think it was a Superclean 2.9.x version.
Thanks.

Make sure you have a ringtone set. I used the .nomedia file in /system/media and my ringtone went to silent and didn't return after I got rid of the .nomedia file. I had to go back in and reset all of my notification sounds and my ringtone.

I am pretty sure I didn't have that and did have a ringtone set. I verified in my /system/media folder that .nomedia is not there.
This thread is mainly to see who else is having problems. I would think though if the ringtone wasn't set it would still show a missed call; from what I have seen no missed call message shows up.

I had same issue on EB01 radio along with data drop. Been using the DL09 radio for about 3 weeks and has not happened since. After radio flash be sure to do the *228 1 and *228 2.
good day.
I'm having the same issue but haven't figured out why.

I've tried to *228 but neither option 1 or 2 work for some reason. I get FC's everytime I try. I've never had these problems with any other setup.
I'm starting to think it's the EC10 kernels. Yesterday I wiped and odined my phone and OTAed to EA28, loaded SC 2.9.1 w/ the EC10 voodoo kernel. Today my data signal in my house would go from 2 bars instantly all the way to 0 bars every time I would use it no matter where I was. I flashed the EB16 voodoo kernel and now my data signal was back up to steady 2 bars and hardly dropped any lower in the same locations.

Not the kernel...it's the modem. Thread about three weeks ago discussing the same thing.

This is what I was thinking too. The EB01 radio seems to be the common denominator. Now if I can just find an EA28 odin file....

I'm on an EC10 kernel with the EB01 modem and don't have any problems receiving phone calls.
It's only happened to me once when someone called me 4 times in a row and my phone never rang. I've recieved plenty of calls and text messages since then.
Can you *228? Everytime I try, I just get a Programming Unsuccessful message and my dialer FC's.
EDIT: Just tried *228 option 2 again and the PRL update was successful. THEN once that was over, the dialer FC'd. Weird....

Same here...but every now and then it happens to me and I use hybrid prls on another network still utilizing vzw modems...and i've never ran into any issues till after eb01. I've tested multiple times and confirmed on my phone it is eb01.

Maybe that is the difference? I get the hybrid VZW PRL pushed to my phone after I complained a bunch of times about poor service. Didn't really do anything to fix the problem, but it made the CS rep I was talking to feel better.

Yeah...they do whatever they can to get you off the phone for dials lol...personally I think this issue may already be known by big red and could possibly be a hold up for the official froyo release for the fascinate. I'm not going to say how I tested my theory but I can confirm that there were several times my eb01 phone would play dumb while...nevermind you get the gist

Verizon's hybrid PRL will re-prioritize the Alltel towers they picked up when they acquired Alltel a few years ago. I guess by default, it won't connect to them, but if you have service issues, they'll push the hybrid to you to see if it solves the problem.
So.. link to the ea28 Odin modem? Or other working Odin modem

So far no one has any EA28 Odin files. I started a thread but no one has posted any. I got mine by odining an older stock rom then OTAing to EA28.

I am in the same boat - same combo, except SFC 2.9.2 and Endert Special UV Kernel (EC10)
I have missed a few calls with no ring - but every time I test it myself it rings perfectly. It is not often, but it does happen from time to time with my phone.
I was reading about it, seems perhaps the EA28 modem may correct it (even though it seems to be very similar to EB01[from what I read, not what I understand or know), but there does not seem to be an odin file around for that modem.
I was thinking of making the time investment to flash to stock, take the OTA update and then rebuild to my current spec.
A few missed calls and yesterday my accelerometer completely quit, so this seems to be the best for me at the moment - as I learned from reading posts by scarfman

Call issue

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

Has GB MMS problem been figured out?

Running MR2 Das BAMF Gingerstripped with Imo's GB Sense 3.4.0 kernel. All is running perfectly well (aside from slightly odd battery behavior) except for one thing. MMS doesn't work. Apparently I'm not alone many others are reporting the issue in mostly all GB roms and I was just wondering has a solution been posted yet?
i have the same rom, radio, and kernel and no go on the mms receiving or sending; i really like the gingerstripped, but currently sitting in my clockwork directroy as nandroid backup until the MMS can be worked out.
i searched around and havent found an answer for this. Can anyone chime in on a possible fix?
I noticed just yesterday that my mms sending and recievng is not working . Im using bamf 1.8.6 with the mr2 radio . I didnt have these problems until yesterday . I swiitched back to the mr1 and my 1.8 backup and still no go .
Maybe something to do with the fact it is stripped, maybe something was accidentally removed? BAMF 3 rc4 here, mr2.5, imo 3.4.0 and MMS is working fine here, sending and receiving.

You're saying you are now back on the MR1 radio and running Froyo and still you can't send/receive MMS? That is some bad juju right there.
Hey g00s3y, you say MMS works for you on BAMF 3.0 RC4. My question to you is, did you flash the radio after you flashed the ROM? I flashed Radio -> Rom. Maybe flashing the radio over the rom will help? I am willing to try it but I just want to make sure flashing the radio won't affect my data/rom right?

As far as I know, it shouldn't matter which one you flash first. I have went back and forth from froyo/GB quite a bit in the past, and just flashed the radio whenever I got around to it. But most of the time I did install the radio in hboot first, reboot into the phone, then reboot into recovery and wipe/install the rom.
MMS works fine on BAMF 3.0 RC4.
MMS on Das Bamf 3.0 Rc4 with the MR2 radio works for me.
EDIT: I flashed MR2, then Das Bamf 3.0 RC4
Update: I flashed to CM7.1 RC1.2 and I can now send/receive MMS however...
... I gave up GPS as a trade off Looks like you really can't have your cake and eat it too.
BAMF works fine for MMS.

BAMF Sense works. Gingerstripped was having serious issues sending and receiving MMS however, and I am not alone. Many people in the Gingerstripped thread are reporting the same problem, and since there hasn't been an update to it in awhile it's safe to say it still has the same problem.
I loved Gingerstripped, and the work you guys are doing with BAMF is GREAT! Keep it up!
I was having trouble sending and receiving MMS for the last month. Not sure if it started with stripped FROYO 1.7 or 1.8, but it carried onto gingerstripped. I love this rom, but had to switch do to charging issues, which is supposedly worked out with a lean kernel. I dunno, I never tried it. I couldn't deal with the charging thing.
I'm CM7ing it right now, and have not tried the GPS, but am having trouble with notification issues.

Give GPS a shot and see if it works. I mean true GPS, not network based. I don't get a lock at all. Literally sat there for a good while trying to find location and nothing. Charging issues were fixed indeed by Imoseyon's latest kernels.
As for notification issues, what exactly is the problem? I am using Handcent and my notifications for texts are fine. Haven't had any missed calls or emails yet so dunno about those.
