Increase call quality!

[lordrainkm]

I have a feeling that EVRC-B is not actually enabled unless you change the additional EVRC-B setting in ##3282# Advanced settings. I have an Airave at home which I have read does not support EVRC-B. When I changed the Home and Roam settings to EVRC-B as per the original thread, calls continued to work on the Airave (there is a tone at the beginning of the call that indicates that you are connected to the Airave. When I then set EVRC-B to enabled in ##3282#, the phone was no longer able to make a call while in the vicinity of the airave. Several attempts to place a call failed. As soon as I disabled that option calls began to work again.

I enabled it in ##3282# and I also cannot make a call... I don't have an Airave...
When I went to place a call I got a busy type tone and the phone said

Network Busy try again later

That's the same thing I got. Maybe we're both near towers that don't support EVRC-B?

Possibly. I don't know. I'm not gonna use it obviously since I want my phone to work.

I just wanted to chime in and say that I duplicated this problem with my airave (had it about a year). I disabled the EBRC-B and set everything (home, roam, and enable/disable) back to stock and my phone started working properly.

In fact, the voice mail app popped up with a few vmails that hadn't shown up. Don't know if it was a separate issue or not.

EDIT: Gonna set mine to Voice 13k, supposedly better call quality, but EVRC handles low signal areas better.

Also can attest to this. It seems like some towers have the B and other don't in DFW and if I'm in one spot, call quality seems fine. But when traveling tower to tower it seems to cause a lot of static and drop outs. I've switched back and will see if the issues persist.
