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

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.

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?

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..

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.

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.

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.

You just registered your account for NSA monitoring.

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.

Thanks for the detailed explanation. Shot in the dark for the OP.

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.

I've set up  the CALEA monitoring in a few  markets :angel:.  I'm  honestly  surprised  the term has not been brought up  in  the media/congressional hearings

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... (I have the s3)

...because both CDMA1X and EV-DO are "3G."  You need to read more posts.

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."

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.

      Sprint Super Bowl Coverage/DAS

      February is always closer than you think! https://stadiumtechreport.com/news/caesars-superdome-gets-matsing-deployment-ahead-of-super-bowl-lix/ Another Super Bowl, another MatSing cellular antenna deployment. Caesars Superdome, home of the NFL’s New Orleans Saints, has deployed a large number of cellular antennas from MatSing as part of an effort to increase wireless network capacity ahead of the upcoming Super Bowl LIX in February, 2025. It is the third such deployment of MatSing equipment at Super Bowl venues in as many years, following cellular upgrades at Allegiant Stadium for Super Bowl LVIII and at State Farm Stadium for Super Bowl LVII. According to the Saints, the MatSing antennas were part of a large wireless overhaul this offseason, done primarily “to satisfy fans’ desires for wireless consumption and bandwidth,” an important thing with Super Bowl LIX coming to the venue on Feb. 9, 2025. Each year, the NFL’s big game regularly sets records for wireless data consumption, with a steady upward progression ever since wireless networks were first put into stadiums. https://www.neworleanssaints.com/news/caesars-superdome-transformation-2024-new-orleans-saints-nfl-season-part-1-wifi-upgrades-wireless-cellular During the offseason renovation project, the foundation of the facility's new Distributed Antenna System (DAS) was the installation of 16 multi-beam, wideband spherical lense antennas that are seven feet in diameter and weigh nearly 600 pounds apiece, a model called the MatSing MS-48H180. Another 16 large antenna spheres of varying sizes and frequencies have also been installed for a total of 32 new large antennas, in addition to 200 cellular antennas inside and around the building, all of these products specifically made for high-density environments such as stadiums and arenas. The DAS system's performance is expected to enhance further as it becomes fully integrated throughout the season. The MatSing MS-48H180 devices, with a black color that matches the Caesars Superdome's roof, each were individually raised by hoist machines to the top of the facility and bolted into place. Each cellular antenna then transmits 48 different beams and signals to a specific area in the stadium, with each sphere angled differently to specifically target different coverage areas, allowing increased, consistent coverage for high-density seating areas. In addition to creating targets in seating and common areas throughout the stadium, these antennas create dedicated floor zones that result in improved coverage to the field areas for fans in 12 field-level suites and the Mercedes-Benz End Zone Club, teams and on-field media and broadcast elements. The project is also adding 2,500 new wireless access points placed in areas such as concourses, atriums, suites and food and beverage areas for better WiFi coverage.

      FCC: "We remain committed to helping with recovery efforts in states affected by Hurricane Helene. We stand ready to do all that is necessary to return connectivity to hard-hit areas and save lives." SpaceX: "SpaceX and @TMobile have been given emergency special temporary authority by the @FCC to enable @Starlink satellites with direct-to-cell capability to provide coverage for cell phones in the affected areas of Hurricane Helene. The satellites have already been enabled and started broadcasting emergency alerts to cell phones on all networks in North Carolina. In addition, we may test basic texting (SMS) capabilities for most cell phones on the T-Mobile network in North Carolina. SpaceX’s direct-to-cell constellation has not been fully deployed, so all services will be delivered on a best-effort basis." Space posted this at 2pm today on X.
