Incoming Call Issues WM6 Radio 1.41 VZW Fixed
Just wanted to post what I found to fix my incoming call issues.
I am currently running WM6 for Verizon with Radio 1.41. I was having issues with not getting a EVDO connection in my area (which they just added coverage to my area in the last month or so) so I did a #2282 update (updated my Roaming capabilities; which I due quit often when I travel).
After doing this Roaming update (Over the Air Programming) I was not able to recieve incoming phone calls. PHone would not switch to the 1x automatically to get the phone call (or mms text message as well). Was stuck in EV connection all the time.
I found this posted:
Solution:
1. Dial ##778 (call) (i.e. ##PST (talk))
2. Choose "edit"
3. Enter all 0's for unlock code. (for verizon at least)
4. Go to "modem settings"
5. Preferred Serving System: "Automatic"
6. Preferred Mode: "Automatic"
7. HDR Hybrid Prefered: "Enabled"
In my case everything seemed ok, but #7 was "disabled" so the phone was always in 1xEVDO (commonly, EVDO) mode. BTW, "DO" of EVDO is for data only. You need to switch to 1xRTT (commonly called 1x) mode for voice calls and that setting basically does just that. So if you're now on a data connection (which can be idle/dormant, but still "connected") and there is an incoming call, the phone suspends the EVDO connection, moves to 1x mode, pick up the call. After the call, the phone moves back to 1xEVDO mode, resuming the data session.
After doing the above, I can now get incoming phone calls, incoming SMS text just fine.
I was dreading having to flash back to stock rom to get stock radio thinking that it was the radio that was messing things up.
Just want to give a shoot out to the folks here at PPCGEEKS. Saved me once again.
Thanks. P.S. Sorry for the extra long post, but thought it worthy of post it again.
