Thanks man.

Re: Unable to answer the phone half the time
 

i guess thats why no2chem took it out of his last couple of builds. thats good to know because i'll have problems answering my phone when i'm clearly answering it in time.

Re: Unable to answer the phone half the time
 

Just having the app installed doesn't cause any issues. It happens after you run it for the first time and it does something to hose the phone. I figured this out a while back and quit using it for that reason. My guess is that it has something to do with how that app is geared toward GSM phones.

i'd use it to change a few settings.. but nothing i couldn't have done using a registry editor. not that big of a loss for me.

Re: Unable to answer the phone half the time
 

ok. the issue has returned. im on a 5060 build without advanced config. it was working yesterday but now its just as bad as before. i did a hard reset and the issue still remains. i used the 5060 base kit and added a few things from the kitchen. s2u2 htc home and most of the games but thats it. any ideas?

Re: Unable to answer the phone half the time
 

Same here. Even worse than the similar problem with my 6700. Made sure no programs were installed to the storage card, made sure Activesync wasn't running, tried the ClearTemp fix, still can't answer the phone. Pretty much defeats the purpose of having a phone!

This is amazing to me - I love this device, and having broadband internet, GPS, my calendar, and my contacts at my side is glorious, but it's so frustrating to never be able to answer a phone call. Anybody have any idea how to fix this?

Thanks so much,

Gerry

Re: Unable to answer the phone half the time
 

When you say you're unable to answer calls, do you mean, like, the thing is ringing, and you have that notification informing you that you have a call, but you can't press answer? Like it turns white when you press it to signify that you have, but when you release it, nothing happens? This happens to me occasionally, and i believe what happens is that I have actually already missed the call, but my phone does not realize this, and so continues to ring, but can not connect to the call because the person has hung up the phone, or reached voicemail. To avoid this, try changing your slot cycle index in PST under modem, I think. Change it to 1, or 0.

Re: Unable to answer the phone half the time
 

Ok, I figured it out, at least for me.

That GPRS_bye_if_device_off registry hack that's supposed to help battery life is what was causing me not to be able to answer my phone.

I had ran no2chem 5060 for a few weeks without it happening, then went to DCD 3.0.4 and it didn't happen until last night, I tried that hack. Sure enough, after the reboot, that hack is what did it. I was doing this hack just to test that theory so had a back up. I restored it and now the phone works properly again.

Something to try for those of you having the same issues.

OffUrRcker: My SCI was already set to 1. I tried 0 and 2 just to make sure.

Re: Unable to answer the phone half the time
 

Can you get past this issue without hard resetting? I also have advance config on my Mogul. Any help would be appreciated.

Re: Unable to answer the phone half the time
 

i have not heard of a way to undo what a version of advanced config after 1.0 does without a hard reset...
sorry,

Re: Unable to answer the phone half the time
 

I get this sometimes too. I have S2U2 installed and all the SPB software but i'm otherwise running a stock 3.x ROM.

About half the time i can't hit the answer button. It flashes as if i hit the button but it never picks up. I don't have advanced config installed and i havent done any reg hacks.

Any ideas?

Re: Unable to answer the phone half the time
 

Running GPSToday by chance? If so, take it off your today screen & test... I had this problem on a related thread. It can be caused by the data connection not releasing (fast enough). With GPSToday, I think it was actually fighting for the connection.

Re: Unable to answer the phone half the time
 

I hard resetted my phone and the problem is gone. Thanks dwizzy

Re: Unable to answer the phone half the time
 

Chappy, can you elaborate a bit more as to which cab you're talking about you having installed that was causing the issue? I have an idea of which one it is, but wanted to make sure I wasn't completely off the mark.

thanks.

Re: Unable to answer the phone half the time
 

The hack I did manually, by going into HKLM/comm/parms/planner (I think, I found it in the 3.35 battery thread).

The cab to avoid installing is Advanced Config by Schaps.

Re: Unable to answer the phone half the time
 

Crap, that program is SO useful!

Re: Unable to answer the phone half the time
 

u can use version 1.0 on a mogul without a problem. i do and have not had any, after learning the hard way with ver 1.1 and 2.0.haha
hope this helps,

Re: Unable to answer the phone half the time
 

I'm having this same issue and it's driving me nuts!!! I'm on the stock HTC load (thinking it was NueROM 505x-5060) but it's still occurring. I don't have Advanced Config by Schaps installed, never have, but I do have KaiserTweak - possibly the culprit? I set everything on it back to default - no help...

Help!!

Thanks

Re: Unable to answer the phone half the time
 

What about HTC Performance? Do you have that loaded?

Re: Unable to answer the phone half the time
 

Never heard of it - so not unless it comes with the stock HTC load.

Re: Unable to answer the phone half the time
 

I have HTC Performance on mine.

Re: Unable to answer the phone half the time
 

i dont know if this will work for sprint users, but for my verizon phone, the culprit seems to be changing the slot cycle index from the default 2, to 0. once i re-entered 2 as the value, it soft resetted and even though ~1 second call delay is there, i can now answer the phone. hope this helps.
