[BUG]&[FIX] Can not Add Call or Create Conference call, or put call on Hold on T989

[BUG]&[FIX] Can not Add Call or Create Conference call, or put call on Hold on T989
Hello,
I am unable to make 2 calls at the same time or a conference call. Everytime I try this I get android.acore.phone force closed. I have tried with Roman's kernel and stock rooted rom and with beastmnod 2.1. I want to find out if this is a software issue or issue with my device.
Can anyone try this and post results? Thanks,

install the Telus based kernel
Tmo based kernels seems to require that annoying ID App from Tmo before it lets you do it.
basically they are trying to sell you another "feature"

That is strange, because I'm using the stock kernel with Phantom ROM and I'm able to do conference calls.

my information is based of 3 guys that has been complaining about dropped calls when trying to do 3 way or putting another caller on hold
all 3 of those topics suggest it's that Tmo ID application, so take it with a grain of salt, it might or might not be correct
personally i have no problem with 2 callers, but i've not yet tried conferencing calling
i'm on Juggernaut 2
in that case the work around is to install a widget
i'll suggest Widgetsoid 2 from Market https://market.android.com/details?id=com.jim2

Thanks, I tried this as well, still force close
So should I assume my phone is defective then?

Try to restore/re-install T-Mobile Name ID and check.

THANK YOU GUYS, it is the damn Tmobile Namecaller bloat.

woah! so now we got 4 people that confirmed the same thing...
it's it only affecting people using Tmo SIM cards?
because it works for me, without that Tmo broadware name ID app

It would be strange if it has to do something with the SIM. But yes, i'm using TMO SIM and that too the new one which came in the box.

Good point. Hmm I could test it without Tmo sim but the other ATT sim I have is only for data and does not have any minutes. Also, I got my phone for full retail but that does not seem to make any difference. AllGamer do you have yours SIM unlocked? (Must be since you are using a different SIM I assume).
thanks.

True! Unless you are on Simple Mobile (Defending my stupidity lol)

i had a dropped call when i was on the phone with someone and tried to switch over to another call...when it happened, i had a couple of people call my phone and i tried it again...i tested it like 3 times..it works..i can switch between calls and merge them..maybe the first time was just an isolated incident for me

Dropped calls in conferance calling? After installing roms/root? Solution here!!!
download the attached below is the name id.apk for t-mobile.....
INSTALL IT ON YOUR GS2 AND PROBLEM SOLVED!
This will solve the problem for people having issues with drop calls in a conference call/ 2 CALLS/SWAPING CALLS etc.....
Confirmed!!! This is the solution!!!

What if I'm not a T-Mobile customer? Will it make any difference? Because T-Mobile Name ID is just going to check back with T-Mobile and find out I'm not their customer and do nothing afterwards, right?

it seems to only affect people on Tmobile
i'm on Wind and i'm not having issues

where is that file supposed to be stored? under normal apps? or is it a system app? i have had the problem once..i just want to check if i already have it installed as to avoid it happening again
---------- Post added at 06:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:31 PM ----------
i just installed it, i guess i didnt have it as it didnt prompt me about overwriting or replacing it...i just opened it and it said "tmobile name id is unable to contact the server" does that mean its not working?
nevermind..i got it to connect...its a paid service? lol...do i really need to have this on my phone to ensure that call waiting and 3 way calling works? this is stupid
so i installed it, rebooted..i just got a call from my friend...it listed his location and #...so im guessing its the app kicking in? its actually pretty cool..i dont recall it giving me that information before i installed the app...i never agreed to paying the $3/mo fee...how is it still working?

Actually don't have that issue t-mobile puts it under change services as t-mobile name id free trial I told them to remove that because I don't want to be charged for something I don't use.

What is the actual name of the NameId apk? I know it is on here for download, but the named download is not the original naming. I am trying to pull from stock backup so I can drop into system folder to test a couple of other issues. As for the 3way/merge issue. Without the name id app, I get some failures, and some successes.
Anyway, if someone know the actual name of the app I would appreciate it.

That I do not know. Alls I know is, option 1 is the activation option. He may have to take it somewhere.

if your trying to activate a used DInc2 onto an existing line, dial *228 option 3. It will ask you to enter your old number and password

VZW's Global Support/Help Desk phone # to dial from overseas is 1-908-559-4899 if that's what you need to speak in customer care.

[Q] 3G not working

Hey guys I dont see the 3g signal on my phone. I guess i went into ##DATA# and messed something without my knowledge. Now the 3g symbol does not at all come up whatsoever. Advice appreciated. Thanx a lot.!

I am actually from India! Using it on a indian service provider. About the guess yeah, I dont remember actually if i changed anything. I even flashed the phone to stock/custom rom. No use

Flashing stock ROM wont reset those settings. You will need to reset the activation on a stock ROM. I'm not sure of the code for that but its been in the treads a few times....
Which would be ##786#.....

Still no avail brother!

Have you contacted your cellular provider? If you changed some settings, most likely calling your provider to get the right settings will be your best course of action.

When it came out when it was shipped? As in the whole parameters to be new. I tried flashing new parameters,prl, No avail. Just cannot see the 3g logo.

As far as I know and someone else has already posted this... You can do a factory reset to bring the os back to a "out of box" state. But this in no way will effect, change or the dialer or radios. Those settings are set by the carriers.

Again, this is your original post. In it you clearly state that you "guess" you did the "##DATA# dialer code and" messed something with out my knowledge".
After rereading your original post again I'm thinking it really should have read this way...
"I went into ##DATA# and messed with some of the settings and didn't really know what I was changing." See the difference???
Those setting in "##DATA# or set by the carriers... They are there to tell the radios on your device how to communicate with and what frequency to use for the towers your cellular providers uses.
I'm going to assume that when you got your ET4G you had to contact your cellular provider to get it setup to use their service, right???
Questions:
1. If not how did you get it setup to see their towers???
2. Did they (provider) give you some kind of codes to enter in the ##DATA# settings???
3. If they did, do you still have them and have you tried that???
I've said this before... I really think you need to contact your provider and see if maybe they can re provision your radios.

Nope, I just needed the dump file for the 3g to work, 3g works on my dad's phone and it doesnt on mine. I use the same dump as his. Still? Wierd
Questions:
1. If not how did you get it setup to see their towers???
I just flashed a prl
2. Did they (provider) give you some kind of codes to enter in the ##DATA# settings???
nope, I had set the msl to 000000
3. If they did, do you still have them and have you tried that???
They are not aware of such a thing also.

I tired they don't understand "reprovision radios"

The reset I mentioned is a "factory reset" ... But like I already posted... It will only delete all of your user data and reset settings like wifi, email passwords...
It won't reset the radios...
If you had already flashed these files to get your phone working when you got it, Don't you still have them???

[Q] Emergency Calls Only - Still get 3g but no cals

Hi guys, I'm new to this forum, the reason i've joined is that my Galaxy Note II has a major problem with it...
Early august I rooted it, but then put it back to it's original ROM, it was working fine for a week or so, and then it wouldn't make any calls.
I can access 3g, used a different SIM card Three and it does the same thing. I've rebooted it from scratch about 4/5 times.
Today I found it in my drawer and wanted to try it again, I put my SIM card in and the same thing still happens.
Any suggestions?7
My
AP: N7100XXDME6
CP: N710XXDMF1
CSC N7100XXDMF1
My screen is cracked at the top left corner of the phone, at first I thought I might have broken the aerial, but then how would my 3g work?
Thanks!

So what happens when you try to make call? Does it say not registered on network, give a different error message or something?

It says "not registered on a network"
Thanks.

What about your IMEI ? Most probably it will be fine as you still able to use 3G. In certain when IMEI is correct and you are unable to make Call, possibilities are
1.Device get banned due to tempered IMEI (usually happens if you have purchased old and may be stolen)
2.Network locked.
Talk to your operator about these.

Hi Thanks for the reply,
I did buy it from the market, it can't be locked as it doesn't work on a different carrier so I don't know why that would be?
Can you change the IMEI number on the device at all???

Best not to ask this question.
Changing the ID of a phone IS ILLEGAL.

Dr.ketan is the expert but, as long as your phone is not blocked. whenever I get that error, I simply go into settings do a network search and then re register on my network. I presume you've tried that already?

Sprint Galaxy Note 2 SPH-L900 (how do I reinstall Sprint PRLs&get rid of Page Plus)

Sprint Galaxy Note 2 SPH-L900 (how do I reinstall Sprint PRLs&get rid of Page Plus)
I bought a Sprint Galaxy Note 2 SPH-L900 not too long ago on Craigslist. Guy told me it worked with Sprint but he apparently flashed it to something that used Verizon PRLs (from what i've been told probably Page Plus). I recently tried to use Ringplus/Sprint with this phone but couldn't use it due to the PRL problem. When I try to make a call a robo Verizon operator pops up and I can't make calls. Of course, I can't get in contact with the guy that sold me the phone so im hoping you guys can help me get it to work with Sprint.
The MSL number has been changed to all zeros. And the dial code ##72786# shows "SCRTN" at the very top then just restarts my phone.
So I rooted the phone using this simple process. [SPH-L900] CF-Auto-Root
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1956180
Then I downloaded SuperSU. Then tried DFS to change my MSL number back to the original number. But it didn't work. I tried PRL Helper, but that too did not work. Won't let me reset the PRL. So I unrooted my phone (or so I thought) and reset the phone to factory to see if that would work, and it did not. So I reinstalled the CF-Auto-Root and now even SuperSU won't work. Im new to all this rooting stuff. THIS IS FRUSTRATING!
My phone is running stock rom. Android version 4.4.2 Baseband version L900VPUCOH3. Build number KOT49H.L900VPUCOH3.
PLEASE HELP!

I'm not sure of all the prl changes and how all that works. That said I would use odin to revert to a stock unrooted ROM and try to reactivate sprint via settings prl updates ect.
Edit: here's a link to stock ROM for Odin. Hope it helps http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2780984

Sorry for the late response and thanks for the reply but I was trying to go to RingPlus not PagePlus.

Problem Solved!
Forgot to update. I fixed this problem.
How I FIXED Ringplus PRL problem (flashing to stock rom may or may not be necessary)
I fixed the problem by rooting my Galaxy Note 2 SPH-L900 with odin here.
[SPH-L900] CF-Auto-Root
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1956180
The reverted to 4.2 Kit Kat stock rom using "ALL_SPT_L900VPUCNE2_L900SPTCNE2_1561791_REV04_user_low_ship.tar.md5" file.
https://www.kingoapp.com/root-tutorials/how-to-flash-samsung-stock-rom-via-odin.htm
Then I downloaded the "25xxx = residential acct - lte/800smr" PRL files from
http://*******************eestat.ir/?index=forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1880781 (Add '?http://?xda-d?evelopers.freestat' to the beginning of link without the '?' marks.)
and extracting the "25XXX_LEG" folder then using the "25016.prl" file to desktop then using CDMA Workshop 2.7 to change the prl to the 25016 prl file.
Then I used trial version of DFS 16.2.21.0 to change my HEX and DEC and esn numbers to match what was on originally on the phone (I found this out through either Ringplus or going into phone dial code). It was a little difficult to change them because DFS kept saying it was skipping the request but after a little while even though it said it didn't change anything it did change it back to the original. That allowed my phone to be read by Ringplus and I was able to get the phone activated and PRLs updated automatically.
