MophoManners Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 Has anyone had this issue? Galaxy note 2 So far I've tried new prl new program restarted (3 times too!) ##786xx# DO NOT DO THIS WHILE ROAMING FOR THE LOVE OF GOD I"M GOING TO KILL SOMEONE! I don't know what else to do I know most of the time I'm roaming on uscc but I'm not sure all the time. Sure is annoying trying to take calls from India so I can integrate these sites Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MophoManners Posted June 18, 2013 Author Share Posted June 18, 2013 P.s. I can receive incoming calls if I'm already on the phone and click over that's been my work around. Go hop on a bridge and wait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bgguy Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 I have the same problem also sometimes while roaming. Best I can think of is that the tower is nearing voice capacity and being shuffled to a low priority. Seems I have the problem the worst late afternoon/early evening on Friday's which I am at work in a roaming area. Which is generally a busy call time.

swintec Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 i know it used to be if you were using data at all while roaming (1x) a call could not come in because the phone was in a data session. EVDO fixed that. Possibly that is it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digiblur Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 Seen that before on roaming. Just for kicks try turning off data to make sure. It is probably the roaming partner though. When the device was on metro PCS incoming wouldn't work. When it was on VZW it would take incoming calls. What SID are you on while roaming?

Rural sites don't get jammed up let alone in the middle of the night.. i know it used to be if you were using data at all while roaming (1x) a call could not come in because the phone was in a data session. EVDO fixed that. Possibly that is it? Possible, my phone is constantly updating something i'll try it if i have coverage issues tonight. that may cause issues with my secondary trigger, voice mails coming in. Seen that before on roaming. Just for kicks try turning off data to make sure. It is probably the roaming partner though. When the device was on metro PCS incoming wouldn't work. When it was on VZW it would take incoming calls. What SID are you on while roaming? Who knows, I'm pretty sure most of the time I roam off the US Cellular tower I'm working on. ( multiples each night) but, sometimes the signal is too low to be the same tower so there must be some sort of roam priority, can't say any one of them gives me my incoming.

digiblur Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 You can always try the old follow me roaming code of *18.. Then talk. Think that was the one. Not even sure if it still works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MophoManners Posted June 18, 2013 Author Share Posted June 18, 2013 ooh, it gives me a dialtone.. my phone has no touchtone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digiblur Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 ooh, it gives me a dialtone.. my phone has no touchtone. AJ can explain it better but you should just dial the code then hang up. It should force a registration with the network. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
koiulpoi Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 You can always try the old follow me roaming code of *18.. Then talk. Think that was the one. Not even sure if it still works. It gives me two sets of 3 beeps and hangs up. So, if that's not it, who knows what I just did to my phone line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WiWavelength Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 It gives me two sets of 3 beeps and hangs up. So, if that's not it, who knows what I just did to my phone line. You just registered your account for NSA monitoring. AJ 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WiWavelength Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 No, seriously, the three beeps followed by an automatic disconnect and reacquisition of the network is what *18 is designed to do. It has long since served little purpose with seamless automatic roaming. But it does force a new registration. AJ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJ The reason I said it like that is, other codes that add and remove things like call forwarding and incoming call blocks act the same way, with sets of beeps and then hanging up. So, if the code is wrong, I might have just done something awful. Or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MophoManners Posted June 19, 2013 Author Share Posted June 19, 2013 You just registered your account for NSA monitoring. AJ I've set up the CALEA monitoring in a few markets . I'm honestly surprised the term has not been brought up in the media/congressional hearings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eljayyy91 Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 I've noticed this too. Only on uscell tho. I think its because if I remember right uscell is only a 1x roamin partner (even though your phone will say 3g no idea why...) but I found to fix atleast my problem is I live mobile data off unless I using it...

eljayyy91 Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 Ya I should have known this was gonna come up. And just like the last person that u comented to I see 1x as 2g I guess.. but you are right. Lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And just like the last person that u comented to I see 1x as 2g I guess.. but you are right. Lol I have no problem with CDMA1X and EV-DO using different signal indicators. In fact, even though I can easily tell them apart via engineering screens, I would prefer different indicators. But those do not make CDMA1X "2G" and EV-DO "3G."

eljayyy91 Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 I just use signal check to check. And I know it doesn't... but its comparable is it not? And is there a way to get indicators for your notification bar for 1x? Cuz that would be awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
