[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] timetex:
Dunno what is going on here - I had this problem occasionally with E200 / C500 on Orange, but not to this extent.

Sat at my desk, I suddenly get a Voicemail notification. Strange, as the phone hasn't rung. So I decide to test it.

I get NO ringtone on the phone I'm calling from. Nothing at all. Then it cuts straight to VM. (Phone is sat with full signal, and connected to UMTS network). I phoned 5 times, all with the same result.

Then I hung up the UMTS. Same thing happened.

I did a soft reset and left it in clamshell mode, and phoned again. This time I could clearly hear the ringing on the phone I was calling from, but the device didn't ring / vibrate or anything.

I opened it up and had a message "The phone operation failed" so I hit OK on this and closed it back up again. Phoned it again and this time it rang properly. I hung up before connecting, and got the "Missed call" notification.

Its not (entirely) down to being connected to UMTS - as my phone reconnects automatically as soon as it starts up.

Anyway, having dismissed the "You have a missed call" notification, I tried again. Its back to its original state now, no ringing heard on the phone you call from, and nothing on the phone itself. I only got ONE missed call notification, despite calling it around 7 or 8 times in all.

What the hell is going on here? It almost seems like the phone itself signals to the network that it is totally unreachable (hence no ringing heard by the caller).

I assume you haven't set up diverts or anything?

Get your network provider to do a test and see if they can give you any further information.

Failing that, it's possible that if you stopped the ExtROM from fully installing, it could be causing problems? Or maybe even some sort of task manager may be 'killing' the phone services?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] timetex:
I hadn't set any diverts, and it was the oddly random nature that was cause for concern - it worked after the soft reset, but didn't work beforehand. I can't be doing with a phone that, for its own reasons, refuses to aknowledge an inbound call! This should take precedence over anything else the "phone" is doing at the time, surely...

I've got T Mobile to send me out a reset of my profile (a text message which I delete, then power off the device) and I'll see how it goes.

I did have SBP PocketPlus installed, but no longer... I've not got much installed at all, at the moment.

Strongly considering flashing to the iMate ROM at this moment!
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] timetex:
After removing the battery I retested. It was fine.

After writing the last post, I retested again and its broken again.

B*llocks.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] applecom:
The same as you my XDA Exec, oftern misses calls, ( you ring your self and hear it reing bu the phone makes no noise) i also had the same on my XDA2i, and yes removing the battery fixes it for a while.

Also mine when it looses service ( witch is oftern ) it will not go back into service until i soft reset it

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] sub69:
Hmm, sorry no clue.

I have a JasJar and no-one has told me off for missing their calls. (I take quite a few from work, but rarely make any myself)

Maybe try a ROM flash, but I'm sure other Exec users are not having these problems, so it sounds like it might be something other than a ROM issue?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] timetex:
I've just stuck the iMate Rom on it. Was probably going to do it anyway, but didn't want to break my TomTom setup...

I'll do some testing and will repost on this thread with my findings.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] timetex:
I'm still getting the problem with the iMate ROm installed.

When I go to the Phone settings, it thinks I'm on the UMTS T-Mobile UK network. Now I'm sure this is fine for data, but maybe its not OK for voice, or something like that?

Can anyone let me know what they have in those settings?

Spotted this too on the Jasjar - can't pin down why though as it only appeqars to have started recently

Stu
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] timetex:
I'm becoming certain that my data connection is effectively hogging the phone and not allowing voice traffic. I just had problems sending a text message. Every time I hit send, it failed (about 6 times) and went into drafts. To get it to sent, I hung up my active data connection and tried again, and it went immediately.

This is a nightmare, as the device HAS to perform both voice and data functions. I want an always-on data device, but the data MUST be interuptable by inbound / outbound phonecalls as well as notifications (SMS etc).
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] timetex:
Right...

I've dropped down to GSM instead of 3G by removing the "Auto" setting from the Band option within the Phone Settings. This appears to have solved the problem.

From looking at the network, it appeared my phone was always connecting to a network called "UMTS T Mobile" (this was even displayed on the occasional incoming call that worked as the carrier). I'm certain this is what is causing the problems. After a Soft Reset, it would still connect to this, as my OTA ActiveSync connection would start up...

Having changed to GSM instead, I'm now connecting to "T Mobile UK" as my carrier - and this is allowing full inbound/outbound functionality - albeit only with GPRS data connectivity.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] sub69:
I'm on T-Mobile UK, and MSN Messenger will happily be interrupted when I get a voice call?

I'm lucky enough to live and work in an area where I'm only ever connected to UMTS (although the setting on my phone is "Auto"). I'm 99% certain that I can get calls every time, and having tested it just now a couple of times it's working without any problems, so there must be something that'll sort out your problem?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] timetex:
I'm lucky enough to live and work in an area immediately covered by whatever equipment may (or may not) be located a T Mobile's head office... :roll:

I cannot discount the possibility that they've erected a UMTS cell which they "tinker with", which may (or, indeed, may not) be causing my problems... :D

I guess next time I'm out of the area, and in a 3G coverage area elsewhere, I will revert and test it.

In the meantime, they've asked me to test by switching back to "Auto" and trying to phone my phone once in a while, taking note of when I call and whether I get through, and they'll endeavour to trace those calls and find out what is going on...

I have this problem now. I only noticed it after a ROM upgrade (to the latest TMUK ROM). What fixed your problem in the end?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] mburgin:
Hi All

I have had a very similar problem and have been discussing it in a separate thread.

http://xdaforums.com/viewtopic.php?t=62863

As you will see, it seems to me that it is a T-Mobile issue, but they don't acknowledge that it is a fault. I don't get the same problem when I put an O2 sim in my Exec.

Other than downgrading to GPRS, I don't think there is any fix.

Mark
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Slave1:
Mark, I've had a thought. Do you (like me) have an old 5v T-Mobile SIM.

These SIM’s can be identified either by SIM serial number 893044 05 or 16 – up to and including 893044 50. SIMs with serial numbers 893044 52 and above will be ok- anything lower is likely to be a 5v.

There was an issue when I 1st got my MDA Pro. It had to be network unlocked by T-Mobile for it to work with my SIM. Is it possible that the ROM update as "re-awakend" this problem?

(Also posted in thread you link to)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] mburgin:
Thanks for the idea, Slave1, but I don't think that is the cause of the problem. My SIM doesn't have a serial number anything like those you suggested (it starts 060080...) and I only got it a couple of months old and so I am sure that it is a 3G one.

However, now that you mention it, I did have a problem getting the SIM to work when I first got it. I had to get on to Customer Services to get them to register it on the network becuase, they said, the shop hadn't registered it correctly!

Mark
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Slave1:
All SIMs are usable with 3G (it's the handset that make the difference)

That's a different issue but just as frustrating.

I had another though. Is anyone using a T-Mobile SIM in an XDA Exec (or just using an O2 ROM) having the same problem?

Could it be a ROM issue?

Sounds like you might have to flash the boot animations separately from the ROM itself.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] zakerny:
I have a standard att galaxy note 2, not rooted.

Typically I use my bt headset to talk on the phone. Recently I learned my car has an aux line in so I can also listen to music.

I used a 3.5mm jack for a while with respecrive rca adapter to my phone. This was nice, and added bonus if my bt headset battery died, the phone conversation would play over the car's speakers and the phone's mic picks up my voice.

The cables were irritating, so I purchased a miccus bt rx thing. Small, slides right on the side of my center console, out of the way.

Music plays fine, but cannot figure out for the life of me how to get the phone conversation onto the car speakers. Instead, the phone shifts to speakerphone. Why won't this work like the wired adapter?

Is this possible?

Thank you for your time, sorry for the silly question.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] parakleet:
Are you sure that the phone audio option is selected in the BT settings?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Anonymously_Unknown:
Simply put, the problem is with the 3.5mm male plug that goes into the headset port. Does this new cable have 3 or 4 pins? If it has 4 pins (the regular 3 pins plus the one for the microphone) then if the resistance (measured in OHMs) isn't correct, then the phone should switch over to SpeakerPhone (as set in the firmware).

So in effect, there isn't a problem with your phone, its just that you may have a cable with the 4 pins, but since your radio-adapter isn't doing anything with the microphone portion, then the phone switches over as it is supposed to.

Edit: Ignore the above, I didn't realize you were doing this with a bluetooth connection. Your Bluetooth receiver may be outdated and not support the "handsfree" profile.

IMO (and I have returned re-locked handsets without question) you should be fine.

Relock and return the faulty unit, regardless of any claims made that you voided warranty by unlocking bootloader if the device is defective you have an un-deniable right as a consumer to warranty. Good luck.

Ordered one as well. This looks promising!
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] RaindancerAU:
I ordered one of these things from a different site too.

Only after I ordered did I realise that it probably won't play nice with a case, unlike the DK30 which has the removable insert.

I think the other port could be a pass through. It looks like it takes a micro USB input and has a USB output port.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] julz:
If you look carefully at the photos for this one it looks like it does have a removable insert to allow you to use it with a case :)

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] cholepuree1:
Yeah.. I was disappointed when the dock arrived today. The problem is that the magnetic connector isn't secured. It keeps moving around. I broke 1 of the 2 clips holding the magnetic connector while I was playing around with it. However I found a solution.... I just super glued the entire fitting under the insert together so it doesn't move around. Then put the insert back. Now it doesn't move and I get a secure connection each time.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] julz:
bummer - was hoping it was going to be better. I guess for the price and after the superglue fix its ok. Can't really justify paying $50 for the official DX30.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] julz:
btw did you work out what the USB port on the back does?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] cholepuree1:
I agree I cannot justify $50 either. But it's not bad after the fix. I have not played around with the USB port yet.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] nihal1983:
my wife was able to get it to stick by keeping a paper sheet behind the phone while sticking it in the dock
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] chorca:
Just thought I'd share a bit in case anyone's wondering what's inside here.

I tore mine apart cause I was curious why I was only reading 0.5V on the terminals (Phone wouldn't connect after trying numerous times) So I decided to see what was inside.

The four screws on the back are under the rubber feet, and it appears all of them were stripped out at the factory due to metal shavings all over the adhesive on the backs of the pads, and the lack of a proper slot on the head.

After removing those, it appears that the connector sits on a hinge piece inside to allow it to move up and down while accommodating the phone in the slot. Unfortunately, the connector attaches with a slot and couple clips, which are fairly weak. On the plus side, there is a rounded holder on the back itself which keeps the plug from being forced too far down inside (hopefully)

The circuit board is very simple, and comes out with 3 screws, one hidden under the rubber square on the board.

There really isn't much there, it appears that the USB port is simply to power a second device. I tested it and power is indeed coming out of that port. I tested it with my laptop and it does not appear that it passes data through that port to the microUSB, so it is a power-only connector. There is also a small fuse on the board.

I reassembled my unit and it has the proper voltage on the terminals, perhaps a loose connection somewhere inside the connector was to blame. It works but does require accurate alignment, no throwing the phone on the dock and expecting it to charge, which is fairly inconvenient. The idea of the mag connector is to be faster and easier than popping a door open and plugging USB in, but here it takes me just as long. Maybe removing the surrounds on the power pins would help, but that would expose it to shorts, so not sure how good of an idea that is.

Anyway, for $14, it works, and seems to charge. If you need a dock, and you don't have the money for the Sony official, this one gets the job done, mostly.
