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.
Got a Note 2 sent right to me after tmo dropped them, and its been working perfect til the last few days. When i get s call i cant hear anything thru the earpiece. until i call them back then its fine. has anyone else had this problem? I have searched on xda and google it and cant seem to find anyone else having this same problem. Im gonna go to tmo and see what they say but i really dont want to hassle with getting a new phone.
Can anyone shed some light on this for me?
Tmobile dropped what? I dont understand what you mean....

I meant i called tmo to get a not3 2 the day they dropped them on the market, the day they released them.
I just went to tmo and talked to them and they said they have had many people come in the store with the same complaint and that its a network /tower issue and they are working on it.
im in the DFW area BTW

Are you using wifi calling? There's been known issues with people not being heard either from caller to receiver or receiver to caller.
NO sir, I tried switching on and off wifi calling and airplane mode. pullled battery, and master reset. Tmo said it was a network issue.
So no one is having problems not hearing the caller on a incoming call????

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..

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.

Calls come right away. No problem with those. Sometimes text will take a while to go through. Other than that, it is all peachy.
I 9m also having this issue in Plano, and would like to know a fix, because it is really annoying.
If any of you are using an airave or whatever they are calling it now, there are issues with text messages.
My sister, brother and friend are getting messages late and missing calls . I'll get like 5 messages all at once .

For the past 3 weeks I have had intermittent issues with incoming calls and texts. Outgoing calls and text are fine and all data is fine.
Originally thought it was an evo lte issue so I went to my gs3. Didn't resolve it. Both stock rom non root.
Happens in different areas. Near downtown Dallas where I live and in North East Dallas where I work.
Also thought it was a prl issue so I reverted to a previous one on each phone. No help with that particular issue but I did notice better data speeds. (yes I know prl don't affect data speeds)
I have called care a few times and they do see a few days with higher then normal failed calls. Made some account settings changes but it's still an issue.
Happened as recent as this morning.
Did a few reboots and since lunch all has been well.

I'm in Michigan and I had a period of about 5 weeks where text's and voicemails wouldn't get pushed to my phone until hours later. I do use an Airave 2.5 but it persisted outside of it's coverage. I will say that flashing to stock and updating my profile seems to have fixed it. Either that or perfect timing of Sprint's network and a placebo effect. Good luck with your delay's. I would for sure nag Sprint about it if you don't see any improvements soon.

I'm east of the metroplex and have been having these issues. I am not using google voice and on FreeGS3. Any thoughts? This is beyond frustrating. My calls go directly for voicemail and get texts hours after originally sent.
The only way i was able to get my problem resolved was to go to T-Mobile.
I spoke with Sprint network engineering in Oklahoma several times and they were telling me it was a capacity issue causing the calls not to go thru.. However i dont buy that.
On several occasions the problem would initiate in one location the i would drive from Dallas to Garland, or NE dallas to NW dallas and the calls still didnt go thru. IF it was capacity then as soon as the device went to a tower that was able to handle the calls i should have gotten the voice mails and texts AND incoming calls would once again go thru.. but that never happened. They have a bigger problem on their hands and they have yet to realize it or, like me, not enough people realize it. I dont make a lot of voice calls. Mainly data and text.. Looking back now i do remember some instance of texts coming in bunched together.
the issue is related to the network vision\ lte upgrades. Been dealing with everyday for a couple of months with people from different areas

Do you have your Sprint number integrated with Google Voice? When I had my number integrated with GV, I had issues with getting missed calls. I would see the missed calls in GV but my phone wouldn't even ring.
Yep I have been having this issue for quite a while now, I am in Arlington most of the time and if it were not for Google Voice on my computer I wouldnt even know that I had missed calls or texts. No notifications for voicemails, calls nothing. Then other times it works fine.
I was told by a sprint tech that this was normal right now and part of the NV/LTE upgrades and that "you wouldnt be driving a car while the mechanic was working on it without problems, same principle" So yeah joke is on us for being customers I guess.

I think the problem is on Google's end because once I undid the GV integration, my issues went away.

I CAN 100% tell you that this issues has nothing to do with Google Voice....it is related to the network vision \ lte upgrades.....the biggest issues that that thier is a handoff issues when going from 3g to 4g in some areas.

Anyways, can any one help me. I updated to jelly bean OTA, and since then my LGOG does not like to send text messages out. My phone will not send messages shorter than 10-20 characters. Im in the CHICAGO area. No problem receiving them, just more often then not i get a failed sent. I have tried resetting the phone hard/soft. I took my phone into sprint and they said I need a new phone. Wtf! Anyone have this issue, or have any ideas to resolve this?
Im pretty disapointed right now, the phone was flawless before the update! Never had a single problem before. Thanks in advance.
UPDATE.. In conclusion,if anyone is interested, I believe the new jellybean update just doesn't play well with my towers in my area of Chicago. With the jelly bean update my voice signal was excellent, but the data signal was degraded. I always noticed, with ics while 4glte was connected, the voice signal was less. With jelly bean it seemed to be just the opposite at all times, great voice so so data connection. Only if i could have both and jellybean wtf?? Maybe someone could help me on here and explain a radio/jelly combo i would have best of both worlds.
Seems to be a Chicago issue.
**Either way I aquired LGNPST and original TOT file and reflashed the phone with original software and have not accepted the jellybean update for now.**
If you would like me to host the files needed PM me, I'll send you links.
I suposed I could have tried to reflash ZV9/ICS or ZV9 radios, but I bricked the phone before trying that.
I must have got the best phone out there. I've never had a problem with any software version we've had.

I have not tried the ## but ill give it a shot. Sprint may have done that.
More on this issue, it seems just not to send short messages. Like lol, no, yes anything shorter than a sentence. I have noticed tht long texts send fine, and picture text seem lightning fast. Whch is great, but cant respond to someone with a simple yes or no. Wtf
I have also noticed a bigger delay between automatic switching between 3g and 4g. Before the update the switching was seamless.
I have also rooted and reflased the ota, same issue. I did not flash the radios seperate tho.
The ## did not fix my text issue. Sprint store did do this as well.
Still have this same issue anyone figure anything out? Anyone have anymore suggestions i can try? Sprint does something on their end, and restore the phone with ## and it works for an hour, then back to the same issue.
Peteyo, are you in Chicago? Maybe it's it's a network issue. I'm having the same problem and so is my buddy. I can't believe more people aren't coming forward with this if it's a national thing.
But let me know if you find a fix, and I'll do the same. And you're right, it only happens on short messages!
Im in Chicago and having the same issues, even with other messenger apps that use stock mms, I also use whats app and have no issues. They seem to be random some send and some don't. If there is a fix please post it is a pain .

I have chalked it up to LG sucking! or I supose it could be sprint. The JB update they pushed changes the way the phone communicates with the towers. I grabbed bits and pieces from other threads with data problems and came to that conclusion. It doesn't appear to make issues with everyone, or have the same problems.
What i did, and what maybe the easiest is to reflash the phone back to its original form out of the box. Also im not accepting the ZVB/jelly bean update that messed up our phones. To return to original state, u must aquire LGSNPT, and Sprint`s original tot file. You can find these two in the developer sections. Its really easy and painless and get you right back where u need to be. The toughest part is putting your phone into download mode. vol+ vol- and power buttons.
Make sure u back up your pictures/things you may want to keep.
Option 2 you can **** around and try to find an ICS file, root your phone, and flash it back to ics. Or better yet root and flash ZV9 radios.
However im not sure if these will work. I have not been able to find ZV9 radios.
Option 3 if you have insurance get a new reman phone, or if no insurance pay sprint 50bucks for a reman phone. But you will still have the same issue if you update to ZVB/jellybean.
I wish I new more about this stuff and make a custom radio that has the voice improvements from ZVB/Jellybean, and the data from ICS/ZV9. Probably not even possible.

The strange part of all of this is that my text messages will always send if they are greater than about 10 to 20 characters. Anything smaller than that amount will give me a send failure. Has anyone else had that experience?
Data and Cell Reception have been stellar for myself since the update -- I believe I was having the texting issues before OTA (though I wasn't rooted at that point)

Don't you feel a greater level of sophistication when you have to type an entire sentence?
I'm sure it's Sprint trying to cut down on their SMS costs, but I'm not a conspiracy theorist.
Funny! I guess I should have just added a bunch of quick messages that are complete sentences for a yes or no answers. And the lesser 4g reception does slow down my midget porn downloading. Maybe it really is a win win...

It has not been fixed yet, and I'm starting to believe it may never unless people start complaining more.
