Re: trouble receiving calls
i am having same issue. i have tp2 on sprint. missing aprox 30% of incoming calls. also, many calls only ring twice before going to voicemail. additionally, call waiting is not working.
snowplow: have you heard anything yet? I have tested using skype calling my own cell #, many don't go through. and had other people complain when calling me-- out of aproximately 30 calls (tests or actual incoming calls)over 3 days, about 30% of them are not coming through. 0% of call waiting calls are beeping in. i have not found a pattern. doesn't have anything to do with my reception since im in same spot i had perfect flawless reception for 1.5 years. in urban downtown minneapolis. however, i figured (and still assume) it has something to do with 1 of 2 major changes I made, including either: 1) integrated with google voice right at the time this happened (opted to keep my sprint # and discard my old GV#) 2) at same time i integrated with GV, I flashed Vin's feb 10th ROM, first time i've flashed a rom, but i did it carefully and believe i know what i'm doing/have done everything properly. nobody else reports similar issues in vin's thread. others have mentioned their call waiting was fixed by calling sprint since it apparently was a carrier issue. but i don 'tknow if that applies to the missed incoming calls. frustrating, not sure what i'm going to do next yet.. anyone have any suggestions?

Re: trouble receiving calls
@darren: I believe this is the right forum since this is an issue with 3 different phones with 3 very different OS's. The only constant is Sprint.
@Tom: I haven't figured anything else out. It could be the area I'm in, I just moved. im in the same town just a different apartment. But the thing is I didn't have this issue right away. I moved, my coverage was fine, then all of a sudden stopped working... if it weren't for google voice notifying me of my missed calls I would never know anyone was trying to call me. I think there might be an issue with a nearby tower. |

Re: trouble receiving calls
update from my original post:
Did a lot more testing and went through 3 phone calls of troubleshooting with sprint. Bottom line is that the calls not ringing through, and call waiting not working comes down to google voice:
Also to know:
Other technical details:
A bit of searching turned up this thread including the following: http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/voice/thread?tid=702e1ef9bd361557&hl=en> 4/1/11 "I've been using (or trying to use) GV for a year and a half now. It's never been perfect. There's always been some problem or another, but I've always dealt with them in the hopes that the service just had some bugs to be worked out. I've had more missed calls, lost voicemails, undelivered/unreceived texts in the past month than I care to count. It was a great idea, but after more than a year, the novelty has worn off. Google Voice is a farce." == I'm going to look into other voicemail transcription options or just live with the issues.* does anyone have recommendations for where to point me for alternatives for a voicemail transcription service?* I would be interested to hear about experiences with reliability of same.* I'll do a general search or post a new topic on that. |

Re: trouble receiving calls

i also don't know y one has to call and ask around to find out that the problem is currently on their end! the reps working in the store are also aware of this issue but there's no official notice of it on the site ,or anywhere for that matter. nor is there an ETA as to when this will be fixed if it ever is! |
