ya let me know what you find to....i'm willing to bet it has sometihng to do with EVDO tho....maybe not tho.....to me it seems like it has soemthing to do with sprint..but when i called and talked to the tech he said my account looks fine. He just reset my account..didnt really do anythin not sure why he did it...but theyrre pretty much useless....one other thing...use the verizon rom from this forum...it works great for me.

Do u have roaming enabled, Try disabling or enabling it based on your settings. I have mine disabled and I get all my calls.

Here is cab if you haven't tried this one

What does the #777 edit do?

it defines what data connection to put on hold when a call comes in, so data can be resumed afterward. some apps/ect change it and confuse the phone.
(btw, the #777 is only for CDMA)

So I tried:

* the .cab with the #777... made no difference at all

* tried setting the SCI to 0 (zero) absolutely no difference... still calling my self and my phone won't ring/vibrate/pretend it's receiving a phone call.

* Disabled EVDO by changing Preferred Mode to 1X (CDMA Only). This seems helped as well but it still happens... it's almost like my phone gets switched to a mode where it's unable to receive calls.. and then i comes back to normal.

running out of options... I guess i'll install that Verizon Rom if i can find it...

Any more suggestions?

well, the only think I can think of is location. does it act this way everywhere, or just @ home or work

also your sure your msid is correct? it doesn't always match the phone #.

The cab should be attached.

this happens both at home and at work... they are really close together though (3 miles)... so it could be the network on this area. I haven't tried outside my city yet. I will and see if it works 100% if i have better signal.

My MSID is different than my phone #... it was given to me when i first activated it. How is the MSID important?

the msid is a # used & owned by the carrier to help identify your phone. think of it as a internet gateway, dhcp server, or dns address.
the mdn is your # and 'owned' by you.
