Unknown number and city - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III

Hi,
I haven't any problem but I have a question.
I have a SGS 2 with a ROM 7comp_1.1.0 with ICS.
And when someone who I didn't register on my telephone book call me, the phone knows from which country he calls me.
That works if the caller use a phone, not a mobile phone.
Moreover, network data isn't needed to know the country.
For exemple, the numero 04 56 78 90 12 call me, and the phone tell me the call comes from Paris (France) while network data is off.
How does he know that ?
Thanks

phone not reachable while using gprs

Whenever I connect my jasjar to gprs anyone trying to call me gets a "User not reachable" message.
I contacted my service provider and they told me that this is because all the four incoming ports are busy in data transfer that is why a user not reachable message is played.
This is a very big problem for me as I m connected to net most of the times and also dont want to miss any calls
Hoping someone has a solution.........
I had the same problem the other day on my XDA IIi, family trying to call and not getting through but i was playing around a lot on the web. I nearly always have my GPRS connected and usually don't have any problem receiving calls, must be just because i was downloading at the time.
Hey, there is a registry hack in the wiki about keeping gprs open all then time. Would there be another possible to keep one channel open for gsm all the time ??
regards,
Ruud
unfortunatly, this is the radio design or limitations of most gsm radios. It uses a radio that can only have GPRS active or Voice active. If you can use utms, you can have both utms and voice active.
It is only an issue when data is actually active (downloading or surfing) . Its ok if gprs is connected, only problem is when it is actually transmitting or receiving...
there is currently no utms network available at my place right now
Is there any way to keep one of the ports free for recieving voice calls only while others can take gprs data
Hi Pankaj bhai,
Assuming the signal strength is good...U will receive a call while u are surfing the net...but not when downloading any file...I use "GPRS Always ON" and I do not face any problems receving the calls.
Are you Airtel? I had this problem - when I was in Delhi - Had to call and ask them for FULL service.
Seems that they have partial GPRS and full GPRS.
Class 2 ( ithink this is what it is called) means that data call will be dropped when voice comes in - so if you are doing anything on web/dl - it should stop to give way for voice - which is not happening in your case.
I love UMTS - you can do both - my emails keep on arriving even when i am talking on phone.
ya nitin i m on airtel
I had complained to them regarding this bt they said this is a limitation with gprs technology and presently there is no solution
I dont have a prob while i m connected bt i dont recieve calls when downloading data.
by the way which umts u r using
No - the way GPRS is designed, data is bumped off when you get voice call. Those people at Airtel didnot know anything - so you have to keep on pressing. It was more than 1 year back in Delhi. Its called class 10 service (I think - not class b or c as i wrote earlier). That time there were 2 kinds of GPRS - 150rs (which they advertised and was crippled) and a hidden 499rs one. Its all about the number of channels used (sorry - I have not updated myself on 2.5G)
In short - you got to ask them - getting engage tone when you are using data is not service - Airtel is not giving you proper service. Ask softly first - then rudely (thats the only way they listen)
I am in Dubai - using Etisalat UMTS.
I am too with Airtel and that 150 Rs unlimited..using since 2002...In all these days with various cell phones...I found that receiving a call depends on the GPRS signal strength..if it is good...i still can receive tha call..I hv been able to receive a call while d/l from web.
Nitin is right people at Airtel are usless(Gadhe hai sale)
thanx 4 help guys
I now know what to ask for
probably i ll b able to get the full service now
But guys u r damn rite most of the ppl at airtel r idiots they r nt taught anything except talking blah blah
thats wht i love bout this forum nice helpfull ppl everywhere

ipdialing.xml config for VoIP UK via pfingo on WM6

As this is my first post, Hi everyone and what a great community here!
I have pfingo:selected on my today screen and can receive incoming calls but cannot make outgoing.
I have tried several edits to my ipdialing.xml but without success.
Has anyone successfully dialed out via pfingo (wifi or 3g/gsm) in the UK using your 3 month free account?
I have looked around pfingo's http://www.pfingo.com for info stating we cannot make international calls, as we are given SGD15.00 talk credit and
SGD5.00 SMS.
If so, I would be very pleased (and i'm sure many xda-dev UK members!) if you would post your ipdialing.xml text here.
Many thanks!
Why not just use the SIPconfig app??
Also you need to remove the +44 part because the dialplan doesnt recognise international numbers for some reason.
just try calling your house with the standard 01xxx xxxxxx number.

Tried that mrvanx, no joy, pfingo just bleeps and disconnects.
When you try to use the VoIP is this through wifi or GPRS?
if its through wifi make sure your ports are configured correctly in your broadband hardware.
If through GPRS....O2 DO NOT appear to be data friendly when it comes to normal users.....they may block the ports etc... since it would be lost revenue to them.
One of the reasons i left O2 (a few days ago) is because of thier abysmal data policies.
You should try 00 1 your house nb in USA.
or 00 44 your UK number
This works with VoipBuster.
00 is the international prefix in Europe
Let me know

Mrvanx, Through wifi.
I have used a pfingo's softphone on my laptop on the same wireless network, and that works fine, so the firewall isn't blocking.

yer the softphone might used upnp through your router....sets its own ports up etc....
manually forward the ports to your phone and give it another shot dude.
Ive had the same problem with SIPGate and it works since forwarding the ports.
I think Pfingo's dialing rules seems really funky as i cannot dial out too. grrr........
using my 838pro with voipbuster works fine.
I think its just weird. I'm using pfingo with the default dial plan, connected through a non uPnP router and I can call out and receive calls just fine.
But this was only last night, previously, WM6 will tell me that the network service was unavailable, blah blah blah...

Hi Eric,
That's the problem, other users have stated no problems with voipbuster.
So whats concerning is pfingo softphone on the same wireless network follows these rules but somehow the ipdialing.xml for WM6 isn't!

[Q] My EVO 4G unreachable after 2hrs standby

Hi,
I bought an EVO 4g from USA and tried to get the service from China Telecom. Everythings seems all OK for my EVO 4g. But recently, I got an issue is that my phone can't reachable after my phone standby arround 2hrs. So, I missed many calls from friends and coworkers. When my friends call me, the service voice will say the phone you dialed is power off. The strange thing is I even don't know when the issue happens as the signal icon looks OK, the 3G also accessable. And, it will come on when I dial an any number of my contacts. Can some master from this forum can help me?
Some background I need to share:-
China Telecom is a CDMA service provider in China. However, the mainstream phone they provided is using an UIM card which is very similar as SIM card in GSM network. The identify paramaters are embed in UIM card but not in the phone. Before I can use EVO 4g, I need to write the parameters (IMSI, AKEY, ...) into phone with 3rd party software or via EPST.
Thanks
Nobody knows how to reslove it?

Stock Rom Carrier Unlocked not able to receive/send calls but can use data and SMS

Hey,
So I bought an LG G4 from Vodafone UK and unlocked it so i could use my Three sim card.
Weird thing is I can use Mobile Data and send/receive SMS if I am on 4G. The person who is calling me can hear the calling tone as if they were calling someone but I don't actually receive the call.
When I switch to 2G/3G it simply does not connect to the network.
I have done a factory reset and it did not fix the problem.
Any ideas?
Thanks
tl;dr : can't send/receive calls but can use data and send/receive sms (through 4G only)

Maybe you need to register your IMEI on the network? That's what I had to for At&t.
How would you go about doing that? Apart from manually searching for networks (I can see other carriers like O2, vodafone, EE, but I can't see my carrier Three ; the person living in the flat with me is on Three as well and they have no problem, so it's not a coverage issue. I have bought the phone from vodafone, unlocked it and trying to use it with Three).
Do I have to call Three for this IMEI registration or..?
Thanks

and did you do a factory reset after updating to MM ?

Best bet will be calling your service prover and have them register it. I had to call At&t and have them register my IMEI since I couldn't use internet or make calls.
Just had a long chat over the phone with them and in the end he said the 'engineers' found a 'problem' on their end and it should be fixed in @5 days. He didn't want to mention what problem or how / why it happened. Oh well fingers crossed.
Thanks!
update : so after about 4 calls with customer service (across 3 weeks) and 2 trips to the 'Three' store i'm basically stuck and would need your help guys.
backstory : I've contacted them once at the start of January and they said they found the issue and they will fix it by 7th of January which didn't Happen. On 7th of January they said they are sorry and it will be fixed by 14th of January which didn't happen either. After that I received a message that the problem was fixed and if i had any other issues I should contact them, which I did because the problem was not solved. Yesterday I went to the shop again and the 'tech' guy told me that it should be working and he gave me a new sim card just to be sure, and if that didn't work he said call customer support and ask for contract cancellation. Today I got called by customer service and I have told them that it still doesn't work and I'm paying for something I can't use and I've been told to request contract cancellation which they didn't believe and said I have to pay the rest of the contract length in order to cancel, which is absurd. I went again to the shop and the new customer service person that was assigned to me said they don't have any tech people and she seemed she didn't believe when i said i talked to one the day before. She tested the sim on their phones and it worked and also she took my phone "in the back (strange cause she said they don't have any tech)" and said I had my phone set to 2G (which I didn't, it was set to 2G/3G) and that that was the problem. strangely, for that split moment i had one bar for 3g and the call went through. Straight after that phone stopped working (it was just that small area in which it worked). I told her that that's not the problem and she's like "welp you didn't make your contract at the store, you made it online so I can't help you , you have to call customer service". So I'm basically stuck with a contract which I can't use and I have no idea what to do.
problem : I cannot register to the Three network (only in small random areas, few of them) but I have no problems with other SIM cards from other Carriers (Orange, EE, Vodafone, O2). I have bought the phone from vodafone and unlocked it and last time customer service told me they can't give support to phones that were not bought from their store. So I'm stuck here with a phone contract which I can not use to make or receive calls, but I can use the mobile data and send receive texts. I am considering rooting it and puting a custom ROM , although I'm not sure if that would fix the problems (maybe issues with certain bandwiths?.
Any help or ideas much appreciated!
Same problem here
Hi all. Same problem here but different issue.
Origin : G4 buy used on November. IMEI fully working and not blacklisted (calling my french phone provider this morning, it tell me that's IMEI is ok and phone not stollen and it try to repair remotly my carrier but didn't work)
Problem : Fully working since i picked up a call and answer ... and then when the call is finish i tried to call someone 10 minutes after and totally loose signal(connection) (Orange/Sosh)
What i've maid before : Playing a lot @ a boring but adictive game. High temperature since 3 days because i play a lot but temperature decrease when i stop playing.
I've used a legal app to record a patern and make some actions without my intervention (RepetiTouch Free (root)) to make races in the game.
That's all ! No drop, no hit, nothing ! Just playing, having a call, hang off and then want to make an other call and nothing.
Since the last 6 hours : Signal ok - Data ok (can go on internet / GAPPS etc..) - CAN receive and send SMS (i've don't trie MMS) !!! but .... can't receive and can't send any call.
I was on Genesys 3.5 and i've update to 3.7 when i see the problem, believing that's it will fixe the issue but ... no ....
Formating and going to stock ROM but with root SU etc..... Can't receive and send call too ....
I'm going to back to stock with KDZ .... but i really believe that's it will not work .....
AND .... to finish and kill my joy .... i've unlock bootloader with LG tools since 2 month .....so my phone is no longer under warranty.
My SIM card work on others phones ... other sim cards didn't work in my phone ....
If anyone have this issue ... please tell us
Sorry bro cant help you here. Never heard of that problem before but my idea is that you should refund that phone back to Vodafone UK.

No phones calls in France

Hello, I bought an S7A on eBay. I unlocked it with the GSM unlock code provided. Everything works fine, except ... I can't make or receive calls. When I make a call, no ringing tone, and it hangs up 20 seconds later. When someone calls me, the same, then they come across my answering machine.
I'm on the latest version of Oero available, no root or whatever. From what I saw (on GSMArena), the phone uses compatible frequencies in France.
I am at carrier Bouygues Teelcom.
You have any ideas ? Thank you !
PS: I translate from French, please be indulgent!
Same problem, this phone does not work in China
Since then I have understood the real problem: the phone cannot switch from the 4G network to the 2G network for calls on its own.
I don't know how I did it, but now I can make calls without any problem, but switching to 2G is very long (15 s).
I specify that it is impossible to use VoLTE to circumvent this problem.
For receiving calls, the phone does not switch to 2G and the incoming call still fails.
But I can force the 2G network (With the Samsung Band Selection app). And there, incoming calls work, but we only have 2G to surf.
When connected to WIFI, the phone automatically forces the mobile network to 2G, so incoming calls work without the application mentioned before.
