I switched from Droid to Rezound a week ago. Never had any problem with OD. But for the Rezound, I have big problems with incoming calls. many times, the calls just go directly to my voice mail. The phone doesn't ring at all. Sometime when someone left a message, I don't get it. No notification from the phone at all. The worst part, when I check my voice mail, nothing is there. Sometime, when the call did come through, I can't hear the caller. All I hear is some clicking sound, or, sometime high pitched noise.
I already had a brand new replacement and also changed a SIM card. But the problem is still there.
I tried everything I can think of, disable sleep mode, disable fastboot. I even disabled the Google Voice service.
I wonder if anyone else is having the same problem? Any help is highly appreciated.
I use Google Voice on my phone as my primary means of performing phone calls or sms messages and have had absolutely no issues at all.
Every once and awhile when I get a call and my phone is in my pocket, I don't hear it because the phone moving in my pocket automatically silences the ringer.. but other than that I have had no problems with making or receiving calls or voicemails through Google Voice on the Rezound.
This only happens to me when I use the dialer command *#*#4636#*#* and set it to LTE only
For some reason this disables voice, not sure if you do that or not

I don't think I used that dialer command. I have no idea what it is. The only thing I used was the LTE OnOFF from the market, which is supposed to be used for TB. I hope that's not the reason everything screwed up. But even it is, it should only to the phone with the app installed, right? As I already exchanged to another Rezound, any side effect should be gone by now.
The LTEonoff app is the same thing, just a shortcut
So if you do set it to LTE mode that's probably why your not getting calls, just set it back cdma/LTE + evdo auto and all should be fine

The phone already has the ability to turn this off and on under the network settings. DON'T LEAVE IT ON CDMA WHEN YOU TURN YOUR PHONE OFF OR LET YOUR BATTERY DIE. You have a good chance of going into a bootloop. I experienced different issues especially with data when using LTE ON /OFF so I uninstalled it. Have no issues now. Maybe a coincidence but who cares, you don't need it. I'd ditch the app and test the outcome. Curious myself if that app is causing more problems that people are unaware of.

I only used LTE OnOFF on the original Rezound. Don't have it on the new replacement. So unless it did something to VZW server end, it shouldn't affect the second Rezound. My problem is not that I don't get call at all, it's on and off. Same number call me a minute ago, and I can't hear the caller, but right after he hang up and call me again, I can hear him loud and clear.
The network is wonderfully. I really like this phone and don't want to give it up. Only wish I can get calls in right.

Has anyone else had this issue with the airave? Whenever I get back into my house I guess my photon doesn't connect to the airave correctly and I get silent calls until I reboot my phone. Anyone else? I didn't have this issue with my 3d.
Airave is kinda old, that could be it.

I used to have that problem before the OTA update came out, but it happened regardless of whether I was by my Airave or not. The OTA seems to have solved it though

I was given an Airvana by Sprint a few months ago. I had major issues with the Nexus s 4G and the Airvana. It would work fine for a bit, then it would block all my incoming and out going calls. Sometimes it would miss route them as well. It was only on the Nexus and when I unplugged the Airvana everything would work again. That's actually how I got the Photon. Sprint sent it to me to address the issue. You problems seem more like a well known bug with the phone that was addressed with the OTA.
I don't seem to be having any problems with the Photon and Airave at all. I have one of the older models that's voice only, I wish I had the one that's data as well.
I have the new airave and my photon connects just fine. I also don't have that issue anymore either where my evo would send the same message a million times to the same person...lol...not one blip with the mopho and airave!

I have the newer airave, and the Photon connects just fine. I do have problems with the airave fairly often. Probably once or twice a week I have to reboot the airave because it loses its internet connection, or stops putting calls through. The issue is always the airave, though, not the phone.
I guess I will have to see if sprint will send me a newer one. I have had this one for two years now and I really can't live without it. The reception in my house is terrible and if sprint didn't send me one of these for free I would have dropped my service........no point in having a carrier that you can only use outside your house
My parents have one of the new airraves and my photon connects but all I get is weird alien like sounds sounds like a scrambled code or something it is really weird and annoying if anyone knows of a fix please let me know

I have airave airvana and i get silent calls all the time. Had to unplug airave.
OK Guys here's the issue. I spoke with Airwave support and he had me do a test:
http://voiptest.packet8.net/
Click the Start Test Button. When it's finished the thing you are looking for the most is Jitter Rate( you will have 5 different catagories). If your Jitter Rate is High (mine was 65ms) you WILL NOT be able to maintain a VOIP call thru the Airwave (it has to be no higher than 5ms). The Sprint Rep told me to call my ISP (TWC) and have them Clean and Flush my line, I did, and my Jitter Rate went down to 1.1ms and my Airwave works GREAT. Have your lines Cleaned and Flushed and rerun the test and you WILL see a difference.
So I figured out my problem I forgot I had set my voice codac to 4GV and the air rave doesn't support that. switched it back to evrc-b and all is well.

I have this same issue - where 50% of my incoming calls never reach me and go straight to voicemail. Other times, I would not be able to call out and other times it would go without doing anything... same goes for incoming.
Spent hours back and forth with sprint tech, with battery pulls, profile updates, power cycling of airvana and phone and reseting airvana and photon - tried switching to "sprint only" / "any cdma" / "automatic" - nothing particularly gave better results.
After the voip test, everything was in range except for the jitter - mine was between 70-300ms and average in between that which you are right about VOIP not being optimal.
I tried explaining this to comcast (my isp) and they had no idea, saving signal, upstream/downstream is good..
*** How or what do you need to do to have them [the isp] "clean / flush" the line? Is there a better technical term to convey to them?
Is this something they do over the phone from their network side? I have a comcast tech coming in, and from what a sprint tech told me - there's a possibility that the cable lines to my apartment may have not been shielded well creating RF/radio frequency interference, which results in high jitter - so it, according to him is a physical issue - not sure.
I have an old samsung voice only airave - and this works perfect without changing anything...
Would love to get the 3g data back on the airvana and have this work.
This is a legit problem. Been dealing with it for about 4 months now. Started out where the everything works great after a power cycle. Then at some point the Nexus S 4G I had would stop working with the Airvana (the new Airave). All my calls in and out were blocked and other times my calls were incorrectly routed.
I was really weird because at times the Airvana would completely kill the radio on the Nexus. I would just have the signal bars with the little x over top. Other times I would roam on Verizon and no one was able to force me back to the Sprint Network.
I actually lost a some business due to my phone not receiving the calls.
However, as soon as I unplugged the Airvan everything went right back to normal.
My wife's Epic worked just fine as did the Hero, Evo and Evo 3D. Thats actually how I got the photon for free. I had just bought the Nexus outright and was not able to return it. My problems were so well documented that a manager called me one day and offered me an Evo 3D as a way of addressing the problem.
After 2 bad Evo 3D's they sent me the Photon. Everything worked well until last weekend. I had to kill the Airvana once again. My calls were getting blocked.
Apparently what has happened is that Sprint pushed an update to the Airvana and some customers will need to have the device reset on Sprints end. I tried resting it on my end and it's a no go. I just have had to much on my plate to call them again and deal with the scripted support.
Honestly, the radio in the Photon is way better then either of the Samsungs and even the Evo 3D. So it hasn't been a huge rush.
Hope this helps. Also thanks for writing this because I thought I was going crazy as Sprint claims to have never seen these problems before.
I even had a Sprint rep tell me he was going to "boost" the signal to my phone so I got better reception in my area.
It's definitely as I agree an airvana issue - as yourself - as soon as I turn off the airvana... everything works fine... or of out of the airvana network.
What was worse is that the trroubleshooting timing - when calling/testing with tech, it works... best was that they thought everything was great when they called to test incoming, A few minutes to wrap up, I asked if they could dial it once more... straight to voicemail I really wish it did get corrected
The 1st gen samsung hasn't given me any problems thus far which makes me wonder what the issue really is... I was given a replacement 2nd gen airvana because we thought the other airvana was going bad or malfunctioned somehow.
The airvana apparently has an "access menu" which I haven't looked at : the ip they gave me : 192.168.17.2 username : admin / password : admin (or blank). They said there weren't many things to change (I can't confirm this) from there ... i,e time zone/date
This ISP clean/flush looks interesting, but I don't know what that entails or how to convey the message to them to do it.
I lost a lot of calls which should have went through - I know that feeling. It's quite a bit of time to reconvey the issues over and over going through the same steps over and over (regardless of previous call log notes) - just hoping, that this time it will work....
Is it maybe a high jitter issue??
If your Jitter Rate is too high, it will NOT keep a constant VOIP call (that's what we are using with the Airwave, VOIP). I just tell TWC to Clean/FLush my line and they know what to do. You can also tell them to Reset your Modem. This all happens on Their end. The can Reset your Modem over their line.
same Issue
I had the same issue, i upgraded from the epic to the motorola photon, when i got home all my calls were blocked and i had no air rave coverage.*99 didnt go through. I went through the settings and did a manuel update to the latest motorola software to address the silent call issue. Then i logged into my sprint account online, and reconfigured the settings to my air rave(its the new air rave airvanna) After i restricted my airvanna air rave to only my cell phone number and my wifes, i turned off my phone and turned it on, and all my problems were solved. If anyone needs help finding the settings for your air rave, let me know, it took me some time to find it, i could help you locate it. It appears we all have indifferent issues with this phone. My problems been fixed since the 23rd of august. Still no issues today.
Right thanks - I had them "reset" and send a "refresh" signal to my modem - but that didn't do anything to the jitter unfortunately... still in the ~70ms range jitter. Is that what you mean then by "clean / flush" ?
Regarding the mention of restricting the your phone number on the website, yes this was a bit tricky to get to - I initially did use this, but removed my #.
I think my apartment complex has so many airvanas around because wherever I walk around to the outside, I am at times connected when I know it shouldn't...
Apparently - if anyone else comes to your residence that has a sprint connection, their sprint phones don't work - the old airave samsung was able to add multiple phone numbers in that situation. I forgot how long it took for the sprint network to accept the guests' phone #'s - but how much can we ask for?
I am not sure if you could add more "sprint" lines to the account if guests arrived with sprint phones to have it work...
Just got my Airave last night the thing is just disgusting! I love ti and couldn't ask for better. Got my own tower in my house. Still connected down the street too. Frickin sweet. No silent calls here, will respond with more use too.

I don't know if anyone else is having this issue, but it appears I am not receiving some calls and/or receiving text late or not at all. I wondering if setting the Roam setting to "Sprint Only" or "Automatic" makes a difference. This seems to be an off and on issue. Also it is starting to get on my nerves when I get text VMs atleast 3 hours after the call was made to me (keep in mind my phone never rang during those calls).
Anybody have any solutions, besides throwing this cool "buggy ass" phone against the wall?
This is a nice phone but it definitely has some bugs to be worked out. Or is all the problems related to Sprint's F'd up signals? My wife has the EVO3D and has none of these issues... wtf.

I have researched the issue and it appears this issue is not uncommon. There is already an established post started for this issue, titled; "Anyone else having reception/signal issues?" Right now it appears one the ways to fix this issue is having Sprint re-provisioning your phone. Some have claimed this has helped.
I am planning on doing this myself sometime today.
But it does seem to be a Sprint conectivity issue and/or an issue with the phones antenna.
So I called Sprint and they had me reactivate, but signal still seemed to be a problem as it still roams. They recommended I take it in and get it replaced. So that is what I am going to do as I am just under the 14 day period.
not receiving calls
are you guys still having the same issue or have a work around?
I'm also not getting calls and when I try to make calls, I receive text messages that was sent in the past. I tried to contact customer support but all they've done was have me update profile and restart the phone. This is getting ridiculous specially missing some important calls.
Complain and get a free Airave. Then you'll have perfect call quality and 5 bars everywhere in your house. Done.

I have been missing lots of calls the lastbfew days, and even wasnable to replicate the issue at my house. If my wife's phone calls mine, it will ring until voicemail on her end,and I get nothing on mine unless I leave a voicemail. I have steady, if not great signal on both (100ish DB).this is only the case for incoming calls, as I can always call out from home with no problems.
I tried that scenario a coupl dozen times, and got through 4 times.
I found two workarounds so far that seem to work consistently. (Both from other threads, can't take credit for finding them, but I did test them extensively. )
1. If I am on another call, I will get the incoming call everytime. I just dial voicemail and have someone call me to test. Without fail, the call center through.
2. Turning GPS and all location services on under settings -location. Strangely enough,all of my dozen test calls have gone through after turning GPS location on. Turning it off brought the usual 20% call success rate back.
Odd to say the least...

It isn't a signal issue, the phones just don't ring. I have this issue and have full bars when attempted calls do not come into the EVO LTE. I can make calls out fine, just no received calls. Also to make this a more peculiar issue, I go down the highway a couple miles and it works fine.
I have called Sprint and followed a blog on sprint.com http://sprint.r.delivery.net/r/c/r?2.1.GT.2Z2.1hiUnF.DfhoXq..N.1QNCs.4RAa.bW89MQ__DObeFTE0 where others have the same issue, even in the same town. Sprint has followed up with no issue and ticket closed. It is currently open again..
My girlfriend broke up with me over theses missed text messages
and i missed important calls. I called sprint he had me turn off the phone while they refreshed it. Working ok so far i will say this i unrooted my phone and when i woke up i had 48 text messages from the previous week and eight voice mails from three days ago, i wonder if everyone with this problem was rooted as well.

I had same problem. Only way to get texts or calls was to call my voice mail. Sprint started a ticket, but since I was within my 14 days I exchanged the phone. Good thing I did cause Sprint closed the ticket on me telling me it was due to system upgrades. But it was not the network at all. As soon as they activated my new phone everything worked perfect. It was the phone the whole time.

Try This...
I have an epic4g touch and this is the only "Band aid" that has stopped me from smashing my phone!
What I would recommend doing is using Google voice as your voicemail provider. Go to the options menu on the website and have it send you an email when you miss a call.
Google voice will always log the call even if your phone does not ring. For somebody like me who uses this phone for work, it definitely helps. You may miss the call but you will at least know that you missed the call and you can call them back.
It has saved me many times!
Non of my SMS are being delivered today. Anyone else having this issue?
EDIT: Having the same issue with whatsapp messenger as well.
99.5% chance its sprints towers. Update prl and profile, reboot, wait it out. Your surrounding towers are probably being worked on. It's one of Network vision "side effects"

Simple PRL and profile update will fix it 99% of the time
Any other ideas? I've done many PRL updates and profile updates, hard boot and soft boot and went from tower at my work to tower at my house about 45 minutes apart, and SMS still not going through.
My phone is working fine in terms of data and phone calls etc, just no SMS. Whatsapp seems to have fixed itself as well.
I've had really annoying texting issues. Probably been my biggest issue with this phone -- I guess it could be due to network vision upgrades, but it started happening right after I purchased my EVO 4G LTE. Mine hang sometimes, then other times it'll send the same message 10 times.
The only issue I've had to where it just won't send at all, even after a restart, is with my airave. I've had it happens a few times -- my texts will hang indefinitely (arrow animation never stops) until I unplug my airave.
I had issues with sms not sending today also. But I'm sure its b/c of them working on the towers LTE.because about 3 times since last Saturday I had LTE for like 5 minutes or so then gone.but sms working again now.

Oh, okay. Color me convinced.
Funny you post this, mine are not working well this afternoon.
Just curious, are you guys using stock or custom rom?
Stock.
Anyways, I called up sprint and they were able to help me out. At first he said there was a cell site that was being worked the tech did the troubleshooting, asked me to reboot and I am able to send and receive test messages
Out of the blue I'm now unable to send text messages. :crying:
I can still receive them, just can't send them. Hopefully it's something on Sprint's end and it works itself out in a days time.
I found out I was unable to make calls as well. I restored a few previous Viper 4G nandroid backups to see if that would help, but no luck. I finally restored all the way to the stock rom w/ root and I was able to make calls again. A fresh wipe and install (not restore) of Viper 4G and I was back to not being able to make calls. Guess it's stock rom for me for awhile. Classes started today and I won't have as much time to play.
And stock pooped out too. Must've been a fluke earlier.
Things now work again. The fault is all on Sprint's end. Stupid Sprint...
I hope there's a silver lining and it means I'm getting LTE sooner than later!
Its network congestion most likely, in my experience sudden roaming or network dropping in and out in a well covered area means repair or upgrades which now that I think about it could affect text messages as well
I am on AT&T and this is my second HOX+. The first one had a speaker issue so I sent it back. I did not have it long enough to assess this issue, as I made few calls. At any rate, I am on a college campus in the southern United States. When I am on the phone with my parents, they complain that my calls randomly go to where they cannot hear me like I am stuck in a tin can and that they can hear themselves or some other voice in a fuzzy and distorted echo when they talk, but it doesn't necessarily sound like either of us. Meanwhile, everything on my end sounds just great. (other than the fact that when they start complaining of not being able to understand me I get pissed off that it isn't functioning as it should and a simple call becomes complicated with repeating everything.)
It seems like interference or a bad connection to a tower. I would flash a new radio, but I don't see any of those available for the ATT HOX+. Also, I can't disable the LTE or WCDMA radios and lock it down to GSM for testing purposes in the Phone Information menu like on my Inspire. It doesn't seem to be hardware issues, unless its the mic, because it does it randomly when I have not moved the phone, but if I go outside the building sometimes it jumps to clear like it switched a tower. I thought it was just in the building until today when I called my father and it started doing it while walking about campus.
I am rooted and S-ON, running Elegancia ROM, and currently scaled back to 2 cores using the CoreControl app specifically for Tegra 3 in the HOX forum, but this problem occurred before the root/ROM/CPU Core scaling so I don't know what's up.
So has anyone else ever experienced this? I will try it on a different network when I go home for the break tomorrow. Any and all help is appreciated guys. I really like the phone.
Yesterday I was driving and was on speaker and the other said the same. They heard the voice along with some weird squeaky sound every couple of seconds. Then I turned off the speaker and they said it was clear. I'll try one more time today.

Upon delving deeper into the situation, it is DEFINITELY a network issue, not the mic, because as a test I used the voice recorder app which uses the same mic and held the phone like on a call and made a voice recording with the same dialogue that i used to send myself a voicemail by calling my voicemail and pressing two. The one on voicemail was garbled like a robot voice when it could be understood. I said roughly two hundred words and actually understood five of them. That's sad considering I knew what I was saying. The one with voice recorder sounded fine so I thought it might be a matter of the noise cancelling mic at the top of the phone covered by my finger. However, when I tried to input the number for destination mail box into the voicemail prompt, the network apparently started skewing my signal worse. When inputting (number changed for my privacy) 0123456789, the number would be repeated as 10124345677688678989. I remained stationary and kept conditions the same for all tests. I am a polymer scientist, so experiment repetition is part of my daily job. Sound like an AT&T issue that they more than likely will not acknowledge or an offending source of interference on campus that only affects phones with newer LTE radios?

Sounds like a AT&T issue i havent seen any reports of this if you go to settings than to network while your on the phone what is your mobile network type and the signal strength, LTE doesnt do voice over the network so while your on the phone your probably on hsdpa

It's LTE which surprised me at first because the cell networks here are really undeveloped for the most part aside from the large cities.
Here is a radio info screen shot.

It jumps back and forth from UMTS to HSDPA during a call. I'm not sure which band is the offending network because it was cycling every few seconds.

It cuts out a little in the 3g network of another city when visiting family. Think it's in need of a radio update or what? I don't want to get rid of the phone altogether but me cutting out annoying people when I talk really bugs me. Is anyone else experience call quality issues with ATT?
Anyone? Yes or no is ok I'm just trying to see if its just me. Really confused about this and don't want to send it back.

I've yet to have any issues with call quality aside from the sound being sub-par in bluetooth mode.
While using the speaker and/or speakerphone though everything has been working well for me.
Although I do live in the Houston area and we generally get pretty good cellphone signals in the area. So that may be part of it.
Short answer : No issues so far in about 2 weeks of use.
I've been having similar issues here in Philadelphia. Every time I call my parents they st I sound static-y. I tried calling them on my wife's iPhone 4 and they said it was better but still not great. Woner if it's a combination of the network and the phone's radio?

You guys are probably just in a bad reception area. I know specifically a few areas where i know better to make calls as they will just drop or have terrible reception on any device, just how it works. Now if i was in a known good cell reception area and having these issues, then i would look towards the phone. I've been to many college campus and actually found they all have pretty bad cell reception all over for who knows why. Just some food for thought...

Bad reception area in the the second largest city in my state on a college campus with a -54 dBm signal strength and a repeated problem in two other cities each with -79+ signal? Not likely. Turned out to be hardware. New HOX+ came in today and it works totally fine. It is a refurb though :/ Oh well! It works when both new ones didn't. I'll give it a few days to test out before I go ahead and do the bootloader unlock. Thanks for your input guys. Must have been the antenna messing up with it. I called the ATT rep to put in for the exchange and she told me she couldn't understand me. I told her that was the problem. haha
Hi All. Running MeanBean 1.9
I clean flashed Meanbean 0.2, been dirty flashing ever since. For about the past week (maybe since MB 1.5?) i've been havin intermittent problems answering and making calls. About half the time when it rings i hit answer and it looks like it's connected, but all i get is my own voice echoed back to me and the caller can't hear me but it connects for them.
Also, sometime when i place a call i get the same thing: all i hear is my own voice echoed back but no connection.
Tired updating profile/PRL. Tried clean flash. I usually have 2-5bars of reception when this happens.
Any thoughts on how to fix this? Ideas on whether this is a phone/ROM issue or a Sprint/sucky service issue? Reprovision?
Thanks

I think it might be a sprint thing, my phone just started doing it but only when my wife calls who is on my account, has never happened with anyone on another carrier.
Just curious what area are you in, I'm in Baltimore, Md, maybe they working on the network

I guess it's good to know that it's prob not the phone or the ROM. Kinda crappy to know that we've traded occasional 4G coverage for crappy phone connection. Maybe i'll try calling and harassing Sprint, see if i can get a service credit.
