Titan not receiving calls - will new ROM help?

posted this over on pdaphonehome forums too, but posting over here.

I have upgraded to the latest Sprint ROM and Radio and am still having this problem:

Question - I have been having a problem with my phone receiving calls. Sometimes my GF will call 5-6 times and my mogul won't ring, or even show missed calls. And then 2 minutes later I can call and it rings. There's no rhyme or reason to it, and it happens with too much frequency to be a network problem or be acceptable.

According to the folks at the Sprint store, they can't replicate the problem and my mogul has a clean bill of health from them (although the tech said if it keeps happening to keep having them note it and someday it will be a chronic problem and they'll replace it), but i'm wondering if flashing to a custom WM 6.1 ROM might help with this problem?

Sounds like they have some blackberry jam in their network switch. I would try to pull the battery and then pop it back in and see what happens. Also they can reset your phone on the network. I have seen this at times before. Call up sprint from your lan line or some other phone and you can have them simply reset the phone on the network. You can also reset the programming on the phone and then re enter your msid and phone number. You may want to get help with sprint on the phone before you attempt this.

Goodluck,

Mikee

so you don't think a WM 6.1 might help as far as making the phone less "random" or whatever? I've popped the battery numerous times - I haven't re-previsioned the phone on the network yet though, that's true. Thought a new ROM might help solve the issue, that's why I posted in this sub-forum

i had a problem similar to this, but on my xv6800. try this: dial ##778#, then edit, enter your MSL code i think it is for sprint (they have to give it to you), and under view info and modem settings, make sure the slot cycle index is set to 2, or possibly 1. anything lower or higher could be causing this. if you can access it, change the value to 2, just to test it.

I know, her calls always go through to me!!! I kid
Change you sci to 0, you should have no more problems afterwards. The battery drains the same for me 2 or 0. So set it to 0 cus I'm tired of getting all the calls man!!!

sorry for the late reply, been busy having fun with No2chem latest rom. Anywho, the reason I went with 0 was that I noticed the battery drain was about 3~5% more than on 2. I tried it on 1 and saw improvement but I would still sometimes miss calls. Tried it on 0 and has worked like a charm. I will trade in that 5% any day. So you could try 1 first, you will definitely see the difference and then you can try 0 and decide.
