[LG Optimus 3D] ThiaiZ:
If I have time tomorrow I will call LG and try a refund. Tought I couldn't live without a 3D phone anymore, but I am just tired of all this "BS" of mixing ROMs+kernels+basebands to try to get a 500€ phone to receive calls. Wasn't it supposed to work by default? What about those who dont want to root their phones for doing all that mix? Did I miss something or costumers must fix their LG phones by now? This company is a joke.
[LG Optimus 3D] Meemo23:
I shall join you on that one time to give them a peace of my mind..
[LG Optimus 3D] ThiaiZ:
Come on guys, let's spam it out. You don't even have to write anything, just copy and past this:

OPTIMUS 3D with Gingerbread ROM (V21A) RANDOMLY MISSES CALLS! It means that when somebody calls us, THE PHONE DOESN'T RING and there is NO RECORD OF A MISSED CALL!!!

LG, please FIX THIS! The Gingerbread update was issued on Nov 15 2011 and you have not provided a solution YET. A lot of your customers are frustrated. There is even a thread for GHOST CALLS on XDA Developers.

Don't forget, no matter how sophisticated, this is still a phone. Missing important calls is a serious reason to NOT buy this device.

UNTIL THIS ISSUE IS RESOLVED, I CANNOT RECOMMEND THIS DEVICE TO ANYONE.
[LG Optimus 3D] Deth Becomes You:
Flamed. Twice. ;-) Eff LG for their lack of care.
[LG Optimus 3D] Barracuda77777:
With GB being rolled out to many more countries, my guess is in couple weeks or a bit more, more and more people will start realizing that they are missing out on calls and I am sure that we will hear a bit more in the news about, only then I think LG will be shamed on doing something about it. My Humble guess is LG increasing the speed of 3G from Froyo 14.4Mbps to GB 21Mbps has something to do with it, somehow the device can not handle it and ends up crashing. It's only a guess.
[LG Optimus 3D] hoangtu2410:
I use GB for maybe 3 months (acura's rom & ThiaiZ's rom with GB baseband) and have no issue with ghost call, everything still fine
[LG Optimus 3D] Deth Becomes You:
Riiiigggght......:rolleyes:
[LG Optimus 3D] Barracuda77777:
Can you kindly please find out if your provider's 3G network supports the 21Mbps speed, if not then this is why you are not having any issues.

and Death becomes you, I love what you wrote on Lg's Facebook web page, I would leave some feedback too but I don't have a Facebook account.

Someone wrote: Life is good WITHOUT LG LOL
[LG Optimus 3D] sak500:
Haha that's much better option I've seen comments there and i'll also write there.

Edit: Guys on the same LG mob page there is a story of "How does your family get through the day with their smartphones? Katie tells you how the LG Optimus LTE can improve your everyday :) "

Pls do spam it as well.
[LG Optimus 3D] vizzzi:
The same problem is also with 21b ROM!
[LG Optimus 3D] dreccon:
Well, go to th LG Mobile Facebook wall and tell them! Let them know we can't wait too long!
[LG Optimus 3D] dreccon:
LG Mobile Wall info...

Let's be a little more effective here. It's good to see my original post repeated over and over again, but there's a little problem. When you first hit the wall of LG Mobile (http://www.facebook.com/LGMobile?sk=wall), you don't see everyone's posts, you see only LG's. It seems better to me if, in addition to the wall, we write comments to their latest official post, no matter what the subject is. This way it is more likely for the casual visitor to find and read our flames.

One thing I'm especially happy about is this post:

We're starting to have results! Keep up the good work!
[LG Optimus 3D] ThiaiZ:
Spam their wall guys, come on:http://www.facebook.com/LGMobile?sk=wall

Thx! I just said what I believe we are all feeling.
[LG Optimus 3D] cool_recep:
We need this topic to be on the front page as news. This is really serious issue. A phone that misses calls!

I just joined to the claim. Kicking LG´s ass twice.
[LG Optimus 3D] dreccon:
This would make a great headline. Have we got any affiliates to a tech mag around here? Any tech reporter could verify this story by simply visiting "our" LG Mobile facebook wall!

---------- Post added 8th February 2012 at 12:33 AM ---------- Previous post was 7th February 2012 at 11:56 PM ----------

I just sent mail to Mobile Today mag (http://www.mobiletoday.co.uk) pointing them to LG's facebook page.
[LG Optimus 3D] dreccon:
I just sent a tip to Engadget.com
[LG Optimus 3D] rusek666:
I've enough of this! I'm sending my phone back to LG on warranty - because of ghost calls.

And I'm gonna send them my crappy phone all over again until it will be fixed or replaced or whatever.

F**king LG.
[LG Optimus 3D] Willievi:
We need to make News sites and blog posters aware of this, so that we can get is as public as possible.

If every news site has an article about LG with the Optimus 3D, they will have to respond.

So try and contact all the news sites you know and try and see if they will be willing to help us out :)

Keep this up guys!
[LG Optimus 3D] Fusel Wusel:
LG seems to be deleting all of those posts... :eek:
[LG Optimus 3D] Willievi:
Yes they are deleting wall posts and comments on their posts as quick as they can. How pathetic is that, they ignore us but can spend an hour or two to delete our posts and not make one to let us know wth is going on! :confused::eek:
[LG Optimus 3D] ThiaiZ:
So tired mate. love the phone and the 3D + our community is awesome, but missing calls is driving me crazy.
[LG Optimus 3D] sak500:
I bought it on ebay so can't claim anything. Paid about 730$ :(
[LG Optimus 3D] nanodigit:
For the peace of mind I went back to froyo. But you said never to froyo. The sad thing is that there are no custom roms for froyo, found just one. It reboots occasionally for no reason. :( Can't tell what is best: froyo or gc ;)
[LG Optimus 3D] Francesko_87:
LG optimus 3D sold today!!! I'll never buy another LG phone in all my life! The worst company of the world! **** YOU LG!
[LG Optimus 3D] johnw230873:
I don't know if it will REALLY help but I have downloaded SetCPU and have set it to

Max 1188, Min 1188 scaling userspace and restarted. I also have the widget on screen to check the freq now and then. To date I don't think I have had a ghost call but of course I can't be sure but I think it has helpped.

And just to make you really want to throw your phone out the window, live chated to LG USA today and according to them there is no record of this problem.
[LG Optimus 3D] orlox:
For all those with the ghost call issue just ask for a replacment phone or a fix.
[LG Optimus 3D] Merlee:
I have no idea about that thing, but isn't it possible to use the froyo baseband, what seems to work flawless with a gingerbread rom?

(not talking about just flashing gingerbread rom on that froyo baseband, I know thats not working)

If I'm not mistaken cyanogens P925 build is just doing that, even thought it is based in AOSP shouldn't that be possible?

Sorry, if that was already asked.
[LG Optimus 3D] lw_wl:
thanks!!

did someone mentioned that LG Turkey is working on a new release for ghost call issue this week?
[LG Optimus 3D] domaru:
Yes, but you need a custom build ROM. Each Rom can be either build for old or new bb. Just look in this forum. I've seen few GB+FroyoBB roms here.
[LG Optimus 3D] botson71:
I've upgraded to the official 21D rom almost a month ago and so far I haven't experienced any ghost calls. Previously, with the 21A I had many ghost calls. Of course, I may be unaware of potential ghost calls, but my feeling is that the 21D is much better than 21A on that issue.

For those who are experiencing frequent ghost calls, I agree with the other members. Send the phone back to the service. It's the only way it'll hurt LG and get the issue more noticed, since the major media sites refuse to report about the issue.
[LG Optimus 3D] vpamir:
FINALLY A SOLUTION FROM LG TURKEY!

Today i received the link to these two pictures from LG Turkey which shows the steps to prevent ghost calls. I immediately applied it and guess what, no ghost calls ever again. tested and proved to work 100%.

with last beta rom,no ghost call during 10 days of tests ;)
[LG Optimus 3D] Fab985:
good news... we hope...
[LG Optimus 3D] ThiaiZ:
Good to hear mate, eventhough I still don't believe in it. :(

---------- Post added at 05:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:18 PM ----------

Best solution ever. :D :D :D :D. Lmao
[LG Optimus 3D] kidkoala_uk:
Thanks I gave it a go and still getting ghost calls :mad:
[LG Optimus 3D] IFLPI:
Could it be caused by lack of ram maybe? today i had ghost SMS. Couple days ago also one of my friends told that he sent me SMS which I didn't get..

Or maybe switching between the gsm antennas causes that, if it happens less often in '2g only' option
[LG Optimus 3D] borelis:
Interesting. I've been using and hard testing my phone for two days now with the new Titan kernel. He implemented Arcee's fix for crashing baseband. No problem whatsoever! And i use to have a lot!
[LG Optimus 3D] kidkoala_uk:
Which baseband are you using?
[LG Optimus 3D] Meemo23:
Any way guys true to my words last night, I called them up today and complained about my ghost call problem and the lady goes to send my phone in. So i said are you even listening to me put on somebody who understands what i am talking about on the line...

So she puts on this guy and i'm like mate whats with you guys do you check your facebook page people are spamming it with ghost call issues on the optimus 3d... Even i spam it time to time you guys just ignore it completely...

Anyway after a 30 mins back and forwards he said he will have a look at this issue, Of course i know he only said that to get me off the phone... And i said before i hung up that if this problem isn't sorted you will be hearing from me again lolzz..
[LG Optimus 3D] borelis:
I'm actually still on the first official baseband after leaked 18. I'm using ThiaiZ Prada rom.
[LG Optimus 3D] cool_recep:
Where is the beta ROM? Leak it please!
[LG Optimus 3D] lw_wl:
nice! when will it be released?
[LG Optimus 3D] lw_wl:
So.... any update yet ?
[LG Optimus 3D] IFLPI:
On this kernel yesterday I had ghost SMS.. :(
[LG Optimus 3D] cool_recep:
Guys I am on V20P for about 3 days or more and I am very happy with it. The only problem is tethering does not work. Everything else is OK.
[LG Optimus 3D] lw_wl:
thx! keep moving it in and out of the basement or somewhere with low signal. it should take a couple weeks to confirm. i hope v20p is the one.

[LG Optimus 3D] adixtra:
Nice,one year after the launch we will have a working Gingerbread :):) hehe
[LG Optimus 3D] ThiaiZ:
Thats great but in our case just a sweet dream. LG doesn't seem to care, be happy if you get an update that fix GC before september when ICS will maybe, just maybe come. Btw my father called me yesterday and told me he tried to call me many times last sunday but I didn't answer. GC are getting worse in my case.
[LG Optimus 3D] Mouselik:
Yep, yesterday I missed a job oportunity call... and I'm still trying to fix it!

Btw, I've sent you a PM ThiaiZ
[LG Optimus 3D] ThiaiZ:
Just called LG support now, that was hilarious. The first operator needed my imei number but I had to turn of the call to check it, and I had just told him that I couldn't receive calls sometimes. When I called the 2nd time the next operator said: "You have "ghost calls" issue, I couldn't stop laughing , cause I didn't mention anything about GC in the first call. They know about it, there is not a fix and hopefully when they contact me back I will tell me a refund and get rid of thos ****. Can't believe that people are still so sure that GC doesn't affect everybody or are not so common.
[LG Optimus 3D] botson71:
No surprise there. Even Apple gave free $29 bumbers/cases when the iPhone 4 "Antennagate" was revealed. And the iPhone Antennagate or the Lumia's network issues are not even close being as serious as O3D's ghost call problem.

The worst and really disappointing thing about LG isn't the fact that they won't give any refund to their customers like Nokia and Apple did. It's the fact that 5 whole months after the GC problem was revealed, LG still hasn't officially acknowledged the problem.

At first they were firmly denying that there was a problem. Then when it became widespread as more people were upgrading to Gingerbread and started complaining about GCs, they tried to hide the problem by deleting the facebook complaints of the users. Now, 5 months later, they haven't yet released an official announcement about the issue, like any serious company would have done months ago.
[LG Optimus 3D] Mouselik:
well, just called LG Custumer Care and they asked for my IMEI and said that I shouldn't beleive in XDA LOL. Because he can assure me that LG Portugal is not working on a fix, but then said that he knows of at least 3 cases of people here returning their phones to LG and the tech assist resolved the issue.

Well, since I don't have another phone to spare and they will not give me one for the time mine is at service, I guess I have to downgrade and wait for the fix to come out.
[LG Optimus 3D] lw_wl:
:mad: they know about the ghost calls issue so well.

Anyone interested in posting a youtube vid ... a want ad for LG?

in order to hire a WITCH!!

╮(╯3╰)╭

'cause LG support admited LG phone got GHOST CALLS issue!! o(︶︿︶)o
[LG Optimus 3D] botson71:
If they told you that you shouldn't believe in XDA, then you could have pointed them to the official LG page on Facebook or the official LG Italy page on the same site. On both those sites, LG representatives acknowledge now that there is a problem and they are working on a fix.

Or you shouldn't believe the official LG.com or LG Italy and you only need to believe LG Portugal? :D
[LG Optimus 3D] Mouselik:
It was worst than that... I told him that the official LG Portugal page had agnowledged the problem and they said it wasn't possible. This as just got in the twillight zone.

And its not just LG .com or LG ITALY, from what we see here, a lot of other countrys responded that in the oficial Fb pages.
[LG Optimus 3D] lw_wl:
i doubt that can be solve so easily.

[LG Optimus 3D] ©ZEUS®™:
v20e

Last week (April 4th) I visited my friend at LG Turkey HQ, and a guy from IT department flashed me a new stock rom. I have not experienced any ghost calls for 10 days.

Baseband: L6260_MODEM_SIC_01.1042.00

Kernel: 2.6.35.7

Build: GRJ90

Software: LGP920-V20e-MAR-29-2012

BTW, except from the ghost call, the stock rom is worse than my previous one (stock v21a). I'm planning to flash a ThiaiZ rom but I am not sure that it will work with the baseband.

Edit: I just tried the ThiaiZO3D V2.7.1 but the BB didn't work because it needs v21d. I hope ThiaiZ will make a rom with v20e.
[LG Optimus 3D] lw_wl:
10 days? good for u. any chance we can get this Mar.29.2012.V20e.kdz file　?
[LG Optimus 3D] ©ZEUS®™:
Sorry but I don't have the .kdz file but tomorrow I will ask about it. Also I need to call them (LG Turkey) about are there any official news about this ghost call issue.
[LG Optimus 3D] abo_mara7:
take this URL:

csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/csmg/b2c/client/auth_model_check2.jsp?esn=XXXX

instead of XXXXX but you iemi, then visit the url and you will get the kdz link for the latest firmware for your device, if it was v20e then share the link with us please.
[LG Optimus 3D] ©ZEUS®™:
Tried with my IMEI but the page does not open.
[LG Optimus 3D] abo_mara7:
Sorry, try this:

csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/csmg/b2c/client/auth_model_check2.jsp?esn=XXXX
[LG Optimus 3D] ©ZEUS®™:
Allright, this is the link: http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/swdata/WEBSW/LGP920/AGBWML/V21a_00/V21A_00.kdz

As you can see it's not v20e and the date of the file is from October 2011.
[LG Optimus 3D] lw_wl:
Obviously they havent officially release it on net, so the link still leads to the old file. seems it has to be asked from the HQ.╮(╯3╰)╭
[LG Optimus 3D] abo_mara7:
Thanks. Waiting for more info from you, I hope that you ask them when they are going to release it. Probably they gave you the version they are currently testing.
[LG Optimus 3D] vpamir:
this wait is killing me. when they'll release the fix officially? i'm sick and tired of carrying 2 phones with me...
[LG Optimus 3D] ©ZEUS®™:
I am waiting for the files of "LGP920-V20e-MAR-29-2012". The latest version of v20e which has no ghost call issues so far. I'll post links for it as soon as possible.

On the other hand, I have useful information for Turkish users. If any Turkish LG Optimus 3D users experiencing this ghost call issue, they can give their phones to these service points below:

[LG Optimus 3D] ThiaiZ:
This is how a normal company should behave:

Not hiding the problem or denying it. Hope you learn one day LG. :mad:
[LG Optimus 3D] sak500:
LOL i worked in that company for 3 1/2 years. Company is good but some managers are crap. I was country head for 3 1/2 years and the regional head sent his friend to work under me but he took over and fired me. I'm in process of suing it
[LG Optimus 3D] abo_mara7:
I've sold mine for $270. Five months with Ghost-Calls and even no announcement nor an official statement about the problem. I am tired of Froyo Lags/random reboots as well. In addition we don't know what ICS would bring, maybe new discovered faults that they are working currently in producing it. I've no trust in LG after this experience since as I can see neither O2x nor OB users are satisfied. as well as us, O3D users. I will keep following what will happen and if they will release a fix or not. I wish you all the best, our awesome community.
[LG Optimus 3D] ThiaiZ:
Sad to hear you are leaving,but at the same time happy to hear you are moving away from LG. Soon none of the older O3D guys will be left. :(

@ abo _ mara 7

Glad to hear you got away. See you at some other thread. Better even, tell us your experience from your new phone. Which one will it be?
[LG Optimus 3D] Mouselik:
Interesting reply from LG Portugal Official FB page:

"LG Portugal wrote: "Olá Aderito. Lamentamos saber o que se está a passar. Desde de fevereiro que temos disponível uma versão V21d que tenta minimizar esta situação. Contudo, estimamos disponibilizar, muito em breve, uma nova versão que vem corrigir a questão em concreto."

"Hi Adérito. We're sorry to know whats happening. Since february we have available the V21D version wich tries to minimize that situation. However, we estimate the delivery, very soon, of a new version that corrects the issue."

This was in response to a post from Adérito bashing LG for the GC Issue.

Interesting, because the LG Care here in Pt said that they were unaware of the issue and we're not in the process of developing anything...
[LG Optimus 3D] abo_mara7:
Thanks for your feelings, I hope you all the best.

Thanks. I am thinking of switching to HTC One X because I liked Sense4, I may pick it up tomorrow, for time being I am using an old Nokia phone(N85). By the way, it receives calls/SMSs, so it is reliable :D
[LG Optimus 3D] droidnico:
Does that mean that the new firmware from Vodafone PT will minimise the ghost call issue?!

---------- Post added at 08:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:09 PM ----------

Sorry for the noob question! But if a new firmware was released that fixed the problem would there be a guide on the forum?

Thank you.
[LG Optimus 3D] dreccon:
I don't think you'll need a guide. It'll all be a matter of running the official LG updater on your PC, installing the drivers, connecting your phone and pressing "update". Only if you want to update to a ROM wihch is not official for your country, then you'll have to see the guide on page 9 of this thread.
[LG Optimus 3D] droidnico:
The carrier that my phone has the firmware from hasn't even released the Gingerbread update! I will have a look now on page 9 as I think I'd have to flash the ROM as I doubt I'll be able to use the regular update software.
[LG Optimus 3D] dreccon:
If you know the country for which the update you want to get, you can always select that country in the official updater.
[LG Optimus 3D] droidnico:
Please can you elaborate on this, I connect my phone and LG Mobile Support Tool is the program I have, and then it says there is an update available but in the updater - I get the message it is incompatible. I called LG and they told me that is because the network that the firmware for this phone is on hasn't released the update (even though I am on Vodafone not Meteor).

I would love to have Gingerbread! But I don't know which ROM is best and I am wondering if I should wait for the ghost call issue to be fixed before updating. But I am wondering if that will ever happen... :(
[LG Optimus 3D] dreccon:
I selected "Country: Germany" and "Language: English" and the updater found and installed v21d to my device although this version is not available for my country. It would be best if you waited for v21e to be released before you did the upgrade. If this doesn't work for you, then you'll need an XP machine (preferably a laptop) and the guide from p9.
