Mogul won't answer...

TheInvsbleMan · #1 (**permalink**) 05-06-2008, 05:24 PM

My Mogul will not let me answer my phone calls. I get to tthe phone in plenty of time and hit answer but it just silences the ringer and doesn't do anything. only 1 out of 10 calls actually answers. any ideas?

did you do the epst trick to aquire the call faster? when i did this and set it to 0, i had this happen to me. set it to 1 instead of 0 or 2. my phone aquires the call MUCH faster, and actually allows me to pick up the call.

0 is the fastest time for the phone to notice a call... It will wake the radio up every 1.28 seconds to check if there is a new call, 1 sets it to 2.56, 2 sets it to 5.12 seconds. There is no reason 0 would cause this, I have used 0 before, and aside from horrible battery life the phone will notice calls very quickly this way.... I do agree that 1 is probably the best setting though, 0 drains a lot of battery life...

huh Im gonna have to research that epst trick.

The same thing happens to me. Also happened on my 6700 too. Phone rings and then as soon as I hit talk or the slide to answer on s2u2 it cancels the call and says I have a missed call.
Happens to me like 3-4 times a day. Rather annoying.

not sure that will really fix that issue, but under EPST/Modem Settings, change the slot cycle index number.

reeg420,
try disabling slide to answer. used to have problems with that.

as for dwizzy's reply,
make sure you do NOT have a version of advanced config higher than 1.0 installed on your device. i read that people had problems similar to this with it higher than 1.0.

yea, do not install any version over 1.0....it will make u miss an insane amount of calls and can only be fixed via hard reset.

Yesterday I called Verizon and asked them to increase the number of rings before a call goes to voice mail. I now have it set at 7 instead of 4 rings.

You might try the same...
