[Q] Call waiting please help

So, I am really getting irritated that you can not dismiss a call or the call wont dismiss itself when you are on call waiting and want to get rid of 1 caller. Then, once you have used the call waiting 1 time on a phone call, since it doesn't disconnect itself when the person you want to dismiss hangs up, there is no option to answer another call when it comes in. There has to be a way to fix this flaw, and there are so many of you intelegent devs out there. was wondering if any of you know a way to fix this. Also if you could, while on 3 way call make it to be able to go back to only one caller on the line without having to hang up on everybody. Thanks in advance for anyone that has a fix for this.

Omg I hate that so muchhhhh. I think its something to do with android cuz this was how it was on my hero

It's actually a CDMA limitation on Sprint's part (network), not anything particular to do with Android.

i didn't have that problem on my moment

And I've never had it with any phone I've ever had with sprint, and I've been with sprint since about 2000. This is definitely a samsung issue, but all they can tell me is that they are working on it.

I don't know.... I still have that same issue on my touch pro 2 with sprint. My girl has the evo and same **** there too perhaps it is either a sprint thing or cdma thing

No offense but that is bull. We have the issue on our Epcis but not on our Evo, and absolutely not an issue on TP2!

So devs, is there anyway to fix this?

Thank you
Thank you aero1. When I was reading his post, I was like, "I know I'm not stupid." I've had the Touch, Touch Pro, and the Evo, and neither of them had this problem. As far as a fix is concerned, when I first got the phone, I called Samsung about it, and they told me they were working on it, and that they would have an update out for it. But, you know Samsung. The 3-way calling isn't the only issue here. Switching back and forth between calls is hard, if you try to three way someone in, and they don't answer, you have to hang up or just have the entire conversation on their voicemail. If a second person calls you while you're on the line with someone, there is no longer a swap button. I'm saying all this just in case there are others out there like the guy who says this has always been a problem. It's not just a three way calling problem, it's the dial pad.

I have seen this too on.gy epic and my friend with evo says the same
Basically when you are on a call and you get another call you can't answer that without losing the current call...the hold option doesn't work either...I think its a sprint issue...3 way calling is impossible.

???
But that isn't a problem on the Epic, and I don't think it's a problem on the Evo either. You CAN answer a call without losing the current call on the Epic. I'm not sure I understand what you're talking about. The issue is, should you get another call, after that, you don't lose it, you just can't click back over. I have an Evo, and I can assure you that it is not a problem on MY Evo.

Skype Can Do It!
I found a workable/laughable solution to this 3-way calling problem. For $2.99 a month, you can get unlimited calls with Skype, over a wifi, or 4G connection. Sad, I know, but so far, it's worked just fine for me, and has been fairly flawless. I put my number in to show up in the Skype caller ID, so that when I do make calls from skype, they see my number pop up.

[Q] Message from sprint

Has anyone received a message from sprint asking if your having any problems streaming? I got it this morning and there was a phone number on it but didn't write it down and it hasn't reappeared. It didn't come as a text or email. Some kind of urgent message or something like that.

Sold my evo went to Verizon a month ago because of this. Wasn't just streaming, I'd be in full 3g area full signal and barely a dialup connection. Carrier switch solved it for me, tbolt woooo

Okay, do you by chance have the # on hand?

I didn't get anything.

Weird, I didnt get anything either.

Didn't get it either. Did it just pop up on your screen? Did your phone vibrate, ring?

Sorry forgot to mention was it on Sprint News thing?

Just showed up, it was on my home screen when I got up this morning. I've never seen a message come through my phone like that before.

Thats strange I have no Idea. Never got it never seen it. I'll get text from sprint sometimes. But thats about it.

I never got anything either, though as most of us i run a custom rom so im not sure if that is something that got disabled if it was not standard text...

You know the first time you turn on your phone (Running stock) and there's a message on the screen. Was it like that?

I got a message letting me know that I can add tethering to my account for $30 but nothing about streaming. I found it kind of odd since I never really use tethering, although I do stream a lot of stuff.

Only receiving texts when placing phonecall...help

I did a search and didn't find anything similar to my issue. I'm running EVO Classic ROM and have had no issues with texts until today. My texts just aren't coming through, and when I make a phone call I get a flood of texts. I've restarted my phone already.
Any ideas?

common things that could mess with txt msgs are airave, setting radio to cdma only and sprint towers acting goofy.
try checking ##3282# and see what evdo is set at. should be auto.

The same exact thing happened to me too! I thought i was the only one but guess not. I searched for answers here on line to figure out what the problem was and i never fixed it. I ended up having to unroot and take my phone into sprint and i got a refurbished Evo 4g for free.

Nothing has changed on my phone, i'm getting 4 bars right now. This is very frustrating.

I completely understand. I went through the exact same thing for over a month. Is there anything in particular you did to your phone right before it happened? Just wanting to see if we can try and figure out whats causing it
Sent from my PC36100 using xda premium

When I had the problem i chanhed roms like 7or 8 times and it kept happening on all of them, it wasn't an application causing it either because right when my phone booted up after flashing a rom, a would do a test call or text and my phone wouldn't ring. As soon as i placed my first call i would recieve the missed message.

It's usually because there's a problem in the area or the prl.

I had called Sprint several times and had them do everything on their end to fix it. They updated prl, profile, (ive also done this myself several times as well), they refreshed the signal on their end, they did about everything they could and i did everything i could do but nothing fuxed it. You can use Ghostly Sms from the market to catch the some of the missed messages, it didnt catch them all for me and it wont help withissing calls. Sprint also said it gad nothing to do with the area or towers and also my fiances phone is working just fine anyways.

Maybe you're right and Sprint just won't admit it..
Today the issue seems to have gone away, i'm receiving texts just fine now.

It's normally temporarily (24 hours-1 week) unless it's your prl. But like you said, just randomly went back to normal. Happened to me a few times on cm7.

[Q] Calls not being received

Hey everyone,
Used the guide about 3 months ago to root/debrand/etc my G2 from T-Mobile, flashed CM7 (not sure the version - was a while ago).
Anywho, wife broke her iPhone so I brought her over to the green side by setting her up on the rooted G2. Her carrier is ATT. At first everything worked except voicemail, but a call to ATT fixed that by changing some iPhone settings.
The problem that she's had the past few weeks is that about 30% of her incoming calls ring twice, and give a busy tone. It is not fully random, it is always the same phone numbers that do not go through (mine being one of them). The other calls go through no problem.
I have not flashed any radios to the phone, and to my knowledge she has not changed any type of settings or blacklisted me & others. Thanks for your help, its annoying to have to text "call me" as the only way through.

Sorry to bump, just wondering if anyone has any ideas on this one?
Thanks in advance

only thing i can think of is the number has somehow been blacklisted, are you 100% sure numbers havent been accidently blacklisted on your or her phone? if it only happens with certain numbers then it has to be a blocking issue
Sent from a htc desire z

I'll double check when home from work. It wouldn't be a radio issue? If it comes down to it, do you think a wipe and install of latest CM will fix it?

very much doubt it is rom/radio related as it only happens with certain numbers, if after checking that nothing has been blacklisted then you could try a full wipe reinstall, doubt a cache wipe would help, i am fairly certain that some numbers have been accidently blacklisted though
Sent from a htc desire z

Att might have messed up somthing. What did they change to get voicemail working? I would recomend using googlevoice if your not already. Also check too see if you have any numbers forwarded to the old voicemail. Your wife may have had custom settings for a few people? I've never owned an iphone so im not sure of the options. All forwarded calls get handled by att so changing roms wont fix it. However your phone can add/change blocklists and forward numbers. Good luck!

You guys are good! Just got a hold of her and she gave a big "oooops!" when she saw me and her mom were blacklisted. Actually, seeing as how it was just us 2 I bet it was purposeful ;P
As far as att and iphone goes, they have special backend services to handle iphone voicemails etc. She's still on the iphone data as its cheaper but on a regular voicemail setup. She's limited to 2g speeds but I heard that's due to the bandwidth used by att and on the G2?

Yea G2 doesnt support att 3g bands. Edge worked fine for me on my g1 with att. Plenty fast for maps/gps and limited web browsing, plus when are you not in range of wifi?

Missing calls

Every day or two it seems like I am having calls not ring the phone and go straight to voicemail.. I get the voicemail alert right away if they leave a voicemail.. if no voicemail is left then I have no idea that anyone called.. anyone else seeing any issues like this? I'm am rooted and on stock deoxed.. Just wondering what is up with this, as it is Def annoying! Other than this one issue, I am loving this phone.. wondering if I need to do the update to correct this..
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda premium

My wife called me today and it did not show in my call log. I am running stock rooted. I called sprint and they said I am having 3% of my calls blocked since I got my phone. They are escalating the issue and said they will get back to me in 72 hours.

I'm glad I found this post. I'm also having the same issue. I was having missed calls but instant voicemails when I was stock unrooted and now also rooted on JellyBomb 11.0 ROM. It doesn't make sense because it will be in different areas where I always have Sprint Service. I have no idea what the problem is but guess I'm calling Sprint tomorrow

I've had this issue, but also had it on other phones. it's Sprint, the way the phone handles network switching or whatever. if a call starts during that split second your chip is don't something else, scanning towers, sending or receiving txt, receiving data, etc, you will miss the call. if it's a split second after the other thing has started, the call takes priority like it's suppose to and comes through. I think someone said even on Wi-Fi, when your cdma pings a tower or whatever it does, that initial half-second initiation also prevents calls from getting through.
I've also noticed txt messages won't send if you try to send the same split second of the cdma whatever(3g) initiating something else. like if you start to receive a txt right when you try to send one, it won't send. but a fraction after it starts to get one, it sends right after like nothing.
this has always been a huge problem for me at home because I'm right in a slight valley right on the
edge of 3 towers' coverage, so while I never quite lose signal anymore, like my htc phones did, it still is constantly switching between towers, so I miss a lot of calls and msg. everyone complains to me about not answering or calling them back but there like a third of my calls don't get through. but when I'm at work, it's low, like that 3% the other guy says. totally normal for Sprint! the same cause as why we can't data and call at same time. I had a evo lte for a few months, and I was getting most of my calls. I can only assume that's because it had 2 chips in it, which is how it did calling and data at same time.
that's my most disappointed thing this beautiful phone is missing.
