Fix for Sprint Treo Pro missing calls
[By zbop; Originally posted at TreoCentral]
Description of Problem: The Sprint Treo Pro will sometimes send calls directly to voicemail in areas of low signal even though you are able to place outgoing calls from the same location just fine. In this instance, your phone will NOT ring and you will NOT get an incoming call notification. The cause of this problem is that the parameters that defines the receiver gain offsets are set too low by default. Note: this should not be confused with the silent ringer problem which is a known issue with SPB products such as SPB Mobile Shell or SPB Phone Suite, see this thread for details and a solution to that problem. Solution: The solution is to bump these values up and allow incoming calls to go through despite a low signal. This may not fix all your reception issues, but if you are on the fringe of reception, it should make your phone useable again. Even though several people have tested this hack without any side-effects, there are always risks involved, so use your own judgement. If you aren't having problems with missed calls, I'd suggest leaving well enough alone. Tools Needed:
To apply the hack:
