So, I got a phone for a friend off Craigslist. Clean ESN, great shape, good to go! I Odin-d it over to the GA10 JB leak and got him all set up with it. However....no one that calls in shows on the caller ID. It's understandably frustrating for him, because he can't return any missed calls if no one leaves a message.
I've tried EVERYTHING I can think of. I installed a call record mod, no dice. Installed stock JB phone app. No worky. Flashed over to ICS. Nada. Flashed back to GB. STILL NO WORK! Went the OTA update route all the way from GB to the latest ICS build....nope, still doesn't work.
I have no idea if this was a current problem with the phone, because the guy I bought it off of won't answer any texts. The Sprint tecs also said that Caller ID was turned on for his number, so I don't think it's from their end either.
Anyone have an idea?

I'm unable to receive texts or phone calls. Making calls and using the internet works fine. What can be going on? I've tried calling tech support twice. They reset my phone on the network, but that never really worked. This led them to believe that it has to be a problem with my phone internally. Sometimes, my fine will work randomly. Then I will notice I haven't received a text in awhile, so Ill send myself a text and realize my phone isn't working right again.
One odd thing I noticed is that when I'm on a call, I am able to receive texts. WTF? I tried going to Sprint today and they said my phone passed the "post tests", and since I don't have the insurance plan there is nothing they can really do.
I'm on the stock rom now and I've hard reset plenty.
There has to be some way to fix my phone. Thanks in advance.
Have you tried re flashing the stock rom , there is a update rom out for you phone..btw you do not need to unlock the phone to flash a stock factory rom..go to HTC.com and find your phone and then downloads

You consider a rom from March an update? I was already on that update. Ill just get another phone.
Well i figured the phone was out of the warranty period when the store said they could not help you..yea i seen you do not have insurance , so with that in mind , i would have thought that the Rom update would be much newer then the current one on the phone....to me it would be worth a shot to try it and see what happens..
But you know better i guess, sorry to try and help you out..
Btw you only stated that you have hard rest, nothing about you have done a Rom update already..sheesh
Thanks for your help. I just went to that site thinking there was something new. Yah, I had to flash back to stock b4 bringing the phone in.
I have the DK28 Modem Pit and Froyo installed on my samsung epic. I must have flash this thing 20 billion times. I have never encountered this problem. the other night I went to sleep and then got up to go to work. I didnt receive any calls till my lady called me around 1pm. I could hear her but she couldn't hear me. So I thought it was a bad connection. instinctively, I hung up and called back. still the same thing. Now she has ATT.... so I hung up on her and tried to call another one of my friends that has sprint. they picked up and they could hear me and I could hear them just fine. So then I called my work number to see if I could leave voicemail for myself on my work number I did that a couple of times. that worked fine. So then I called another Friend of mine that has ATT and yeah Wrongg. So then I thought maybe it was me. I flashed my phone with odin1.61 and the PIT SPH-D700-DK28-8Gb-REL with the modem included. Then tried to make another call to my friend again Wrongggg. but I could still make calls to other people. Now I went home from work and thought maybe it was the Froyo and the firmware. so I Flashed it back to DK18. tried to make a call again to my friend thats on ATT low and behold Wronggggg again. So then I called Sprint even though know we both know they know nothing except the obvious. So they walked me through programming my phone with my MSL and handsfree activation tired to make another call Wronggg. so they told me my phone my need to be replaced. so they made me an appointment. I dont really want to have to change my phone if I dont have too. Would any of you guys know whats going on or could shed some light upon this?
Specs: been rooted for awhile. Currently running end of days rom by magnus. Can't think of anything else thats relevent.
Problem : my phone no longer will call anybody. It says everytime '' cannot make this call at this time, try again later'' doesn't matter who I call it won't go through. It started today as far as I can tell randomly. I have great service and everything else works just fine including 4g and gps.
I tried: nandroid restore of both a sense rom and destroyer (aosp) and also did a factory wipe and re installed my current rom. I also went through the settings to see if I did something dumb. I didn't see anything.
Any ideas would be great, I'm lost without my phone.
I was having trouble receiving calls last night, I think Sprint is working on their network again. Try updating your profile and prl through settings and that may help.

Updated but no difference. I also updated the radio as well, just for the hell of it. No luck
I was having issues with google voice 2 days before so I deleted the account. I don't know if this has anything to do with it but it won't let me make a new account now.
this mite sound dumb but did u pay ur bill?
unless you're having problems on every rom, i'd say look into the prl. i flashed a rom 3 weeks ago that changed the meid on a evo, dont ask me how, but its true. so you might wanna check that also if its been repaired
Lol, yes. Bill has never been late. And I up dated prl and have nandroided back to two different roms. No luck.
I'm having the same problem last outgoing call I was able to make was at 2am. Every call today says call lost. I'm running CM's latest nightly.
Do you have the google voice integration enabled by chance? My wife's EVO without the integration enabled works fine, mine with it enabled I get that unable to place your call at this time message all the time. I spoke with Sprint about it and they were no help. I think it's a google problem. That means good luck getting any support. Google is great until you need support for something.

I fixed mine by flashing a stock rooted rom made a outgoing call worked fine. Then flashed back to CM7 stable and everything is working again.
Before I get n00b bashed, I did "Search this thread" for the answer... (and other forums) Maybe I am just too n00b? Anyway, here goes.
Given kudos on this ROM already (Syndicate Rom: Frozen...anything is better than stock Froyo, but this is just AMAZING). But I was having some troubles with receiving incoming calls. Caller always got "All circuits busy" Or "cannot complete call as dialed".
Soooo, I wiped and reflashed. Tried to make a call (before restoring titanium backups) it worked, but my girl was still having troubles calling me...
So I restored most of my titanium backup (stuff that mattered?) and when trying to call out, I get "com.android.phone stopped working" and had to forcibly close it. So, I specifically restored phone 1.0 and contacts and all that from my titanium Backup, and still got the same issue. I am currently backing up stuff to my computer off the phone, going to format the card and do a fresh flash and see if that helps.
Thing to note, my account IS linked with Google Voice. Could that be an issue? And if not, is anyone else having this issue? Seriously the ONLY problem I am having with this rom. Thanks, guys!
Edit. Wipe and reflash did not help, however the phone is running MUCH better! Still not getting phone calls, though. Data works, MMS, etc, spotty 3G acceptance, though. Starting to get a bit aggravating. ANY help would be GRAND.
*sigh* think I got it. Flashed a different modem (EC03?) and it did not work, then flashed BACK to EC05 (AFTER the fresh flash) and it seems to have rectified the issue. HUGE thanks to QBKING77 (if that is his name on here) for the AWESOME video tuts and great linking to the site. I will update if call status changes. But I would still be interested in knowing if anyone else was having the same issues?
Sorry no one ever got to you for help. The Q&A section doesn't exactly have dedicatedhelpers. =/
I'll be trying to help this section more. So please do update if it comes again.

No worries. My girl and I gave it another go this morning, and all went well. Also received all my calld last night with no issue. Definitely made my girl a happy camper. Lol. Now I just have to calibrate my battery when I get to work, and all will be golden!

the only thing I could think of is did you "freeze" any apps in titanium LOL yes I froze the wrong thing once and got the same error's I think it was the voice mail stuff seeing i went to gvoice didn't think I needed it but I did.
Nope. All apps were left unfrozen, just because I am too n00b for that chit, lol.
However, I flashed the EC05, and all incoming calls (90%) seem to be coming to me. Odd part is, it SHOULD be going to my voicemail if it cannot be dialed. I am thinkin Sprint is to blame, and I need to have it out with them.
*sigh*
Oh well, everything else is tits... Just waiting EAGERLY for 1.2... Chompin at the bit and all that!
Might get bored tonight and flash back to stock... see if I have the same problem.
Question. Let's say I want to "image" my phone the way it is right now (kinda like Norton Ghost used to do?) Flash back to stock, yadda yadda... Is there a way to RESTORE my phone as is (every byte) back with clockwork? Or is that what Nandroid does? Because if I flash back to Stock, play for a bit (see if it is sprint's fault) and want to flash back, I will have to reconvert back to EXT4... using clockwork 3.0, should I just use the .zip (.img?) that nandroid creates instead of the base ROM?
If any of that makes sense, kudos will be given for a clear answer, lol
just loaded Emerald Envy 2.0....
Absolutely love the ROM, but I can no longer receive calls. I've tried the wipe (x3), re-downloaded the ROM, no joy. no combination that I can think of. Have tried all the latest modems (EC05/EF02), no joy.
I did notice that the phone log does log that a call was received, but it never rings or brings up the phone application.
I also tried flashing the Genocide 1.1 kernal. no joy.
I'm about to go back to my Midnight ROM that I Nandroid'd earlier today before I started down this road. Really hope I don't have to, i'm hooked on this ROM!
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

My errors seem to be different than yours. Mine would not show up in my call log at all, nor would the calls go to voicemail. Are your callers able to leave messages?
Mine turned out to be a sprint/phone issue. Their networks have been all kinds of crappy in my area since january. Sucks, but all I could do was call, complain, and get credits.
My new epic seems to be working fine, and sprint seems to have fixed their issues in my area. I was running 1.2 up until last night with no issues callin/receiving. I only updated to the latest GB leak because it is hella stable and netflix works. Just seems to have some 3d issues. But I do not game much on here.
Keep troubleshooting, and give 1.2 a whirl. While your problem is not ROM related, I am very confident your experience (and battery) will be much better.
Oh. And call Sprint. Complain and whine. You will get credit on your bill. Lol.
Sent from my Epic. Which is better than yours.
I've been having the problem lately where I can no longer receive text messages, from anyone. My text messages are still received however.
I have only experienced this while running Calkulin's E4GT v2.9.2 EL29 with no other modification. The first time I experienced this, the only problem I could think of was that I did not use the Format all zip file.
So I went through the flashing process again and got some strange force close on google maps and Sprint tv. I initially flashed to fc22 modem, then back after kobridges post concerning sprint tv. I did update profile and prl after each modem flash.
And now I cannot receive text messages. Any ideas?
Flash back to stock and start fresh

Obviously. But seeing as this will be the third attempt with hopefully different results, I am hoping for an insight concerning the cause of this circumstance.
I had the exact same problem when I installed EG4T ROM. Tried many of the same thing you tried, along with many others.
Long story short, I called Sprint and the had to add my phone back to the other carries (att, version, tmo) switching map/database. Took about 3 hours once the request was put in. Text messaging has worked like a charm ever since.
Hope this helps...

Another issue I discovered was lack of GPS functionality; first only on wireless networks and then even with the GPS sensor activated.
I might should mention that I activated the phone in south Memphis/north MS then went back to work in New Orleans. I had the issue in both locales. While on the phone with Sprint, they mentioned that they have dropped some capacity in NOLA due to lower population.
I came back to north MS finally had the time to take my phone to a Sprint store. Of course as soon as I handed it over, it started receiving text messages. They tested it, whatever that means and found it to be fully functional.
The Sprint guy basically said he thinks it's a network problem. He was cool about the whole thing. I told him I had it rooted, he responded that he has seen rooted phones overcome some network problems before.
So I came home, rooted, flashed calkulins el29 and I still have text messaging.
oh well, thanks for reading. I hope this all can help someone.
