Hey guys,
Noticed a very weird bug on my 831C.
This is on a CDMA network, that I am using with an RUIM (CDMA SIM) after unlocking an out of contract device and switching to RUIM mode using DFS.
On other handsets, I can make a call, then add a call and then merge the two calls. Worked perfect on my HTC One E8.
When I try to do this on the 831C, the first party continues to stay on hold and the calls do not merge into a conference although that is what it shows in the stock dialer app.
Is this also happening with anyone else? Are there any workarounds for this? I have tried CM12, ViperOneM8 and stock Sprint HK ROM.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
UPDATE: This isn't a bug. Every network has its own command to establish a conference. I solved the problem myself. After making the two calls, you need to press the 3 little dots on the dialer and tap "PEOPLE". After this you need to swipe to the dialer pad, press 3 and tap the call button. This will join the two calls and a 3 way conference will be established. This method works on almost all other CDMA carriers. I have successfully tested this on Reliance CDMA India.
Solved this!

Hi
I have bought a unlocked nexus for reliance cdma in India. The phone works just fine but i cannot do a conference call! Merge Calls does nothing! How can i reactivate this feature? As i understand it, it is pressing a sequence of numbers that makes no sense on the reliance network but used to work on the sprint network. Am i right? And yes, conferencing is already enabled with reliance. According to them, its a inbuilt feature of the phone, supposedly.
Regards,
Xyan
Does this work?

(I don't know - I'm not on Reliance, so can't test)
That was the first thing I tried after the merge call didn't work. Thanks anyway
No conference call on nexus - Reliance CDMA
Any Luck with the call conferencing ? im facing the same problem
Hi All,
Has anyone extracted the the firmware from the RUU? I did a quick search and just saw one with the HBOOT. Also has anyone installed the HTC RUU? Is it any good?
Thanks in advance.

Of course wnc and ckpv5 would be involved!
Guess I should have looked a little harder than searching by the numbers!
Many thanks!

If anyone is looking for an already modified version of the 6.20.502.5 firmware. I removed the boot.img and the recovery.img file and replaced the hboot file with one that has no red text. This firmware works fine on the AT&T and Developer's Edition models.
Download here.
Hey everyone in this post,
Please check to make sure that you are receiving voice calls. I just discovered that I can make outgoing calls just fine however ALL incoming calls are going directly to voicemail. I'm going to do a little more research but it looks as though I'll need to revert to an earlier firmware. I'm guessing this has something to do with HD Voice.
A couple more things of note: I'm on the latest version of ARHD which is 53.1 (MM); texts work fine both ways; data is fine; voicemail functions fine. Just to give a little background.

I'm having the same problem. I fiddled with the APN settings and it seemed (I'll try again) to fix that issue. Meaning I manually entered the APN settings and I was able to receive calls. A bit ridiculous.
Edit: It's not the APN Settings that helped. It's actually switching the preferred network from LTE to 3G or maybe even 2G. Haven't checked it on 2G.

I finally got mine working but I have no idea what the magical combination ended up being. I did downgrade to a previous 6.12 firmware but that alone didn't do the trick. I also manually added a new APN in addition to many other things one by one. I was actually on an outgoing call and my line beeped because I had a call waiting! I was so shocked (and pleased) that I hung on the person I was speaking with and answered the call. From then on it has worked fine. Having said that I'm going to sit tight with the phone the way it is until someone much smarter than me lays out a solid plan.
I'm glad you got beyond your problem as well :good:

Are you still able to receive phone calls while on 4G? Any further issues? I asked because ever since upgrading to LP firmware I no longer can receive incoming phone calls while on 4G but I can make calls. I have noticed that while on a call on 4G I can receive calls which is strange. So I have to stay on 3G to receive all incoming calls. Any ideas on a fix? Thanks

Your situation does sound similar to mine. Whatever combination of zany things that happened for me as forced my network into HSPA+ whereas it used to read LTE. I'm not referring to the icon in the status bar (that still reads 4G). If I go into Settings>About>Network>Cellular network type. That's where I see HSPA+, HSPA or HSPAP depending on where I am. My speeds are WAY slower but it's still functional, yet there's something obviously still broken. Since I can receive calls now I've decided to just "live with it" until I come across a proper solution that I know will work. If that day should ever come though, I'll be sure to post back here.
Update:
I am back to my "Cellular network type" displaying "LTE" and my download speeds also confirm this. Below are the additional steps I took to get to this point:
1. In the phone dialer enter *#*#4636#*#* (takes you to a "Phone info" screen)
2. Scroll down to "Set preferred network type" (take note of its current selection in case you need to go back)
3. Using the dropdown, select GSM/WCDMA/LTE auto
That's it. After a few seconds my data icon refreshed and I knew I was good to go. For good measure I went back to Settings>About>Network to verify my Cellular network type. Good luck.

AT&T's deployment of Voice over LTE (which they've branded "HD Voice") does not play well with international-based custom ROMs (basically, most any ROM that is not ATT based). Issues with voice calls is the common symptom.
Best workaround is to call AT&T and ask them to turn off HD Voice for your account (may need to ask for 2nd Tier tech support before you get someone who knows what you are talking about). Yes, you can turn off LTE, but that is obviously not a great option.
Other fixes (APN, firmware) are likely placebo effect at best. Went down a similar path trying to troubleshoot this problem for folks a year ago, before coming to the conclusion (Post #9): http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-htc-one-m8/help/incoming-calls-lte-mode-m8-att-arhd-34-0-t3026710
So, my phone can't make calls and I've tried everything I was able to find online to force it to do so. I took my sim card from my moto x and put it in you'd nexus 5x, but when I try to make a call it immediately hangs up. I've gotten a new SIM card and gone to multiple Verizon stores to fix it, to no avail. Lastly, I heard that I could make calls inever i enabled advanced/hd calling so that i could use data for the call. Whenever i go into testing settings to make the VoLte work and reboot, it seems to not keep the setting. I'm lost, and I just want to make calls. Any help?
In the past (16 years ago, in times of Siemens S55) there was a way to enable a second line on the mobile phone. I think it was something like pressing 0 for a few seconds to switch between the lines.
When activated without access to a second line, you were not able to make any phone call. Not sure if this function is still available at actual smartphones. Only a hint where you can search for.
Or, another hint, you've activated the call restriction (not sure if this is the correct translation from German). In the options of the phone you're able to block some or all numbers for outgoing calls.
Try to check in test menu (*#*#4636#*#*)if the phone is on LTE-only mode and put it on LTE/CDMA/UMTS

My H798 came across bootloop, after a fix from Huaqiangbei, Shenzhen, was sent to me today. The phone runs into a similar issue. Data and SMS work well, while any call will be held on "Calling…" for 30 seconds, with no sound, then end up with a beep of hanging up.
But my mobile carrier is China Mobile.
Same thing here, replaced with chinese motherboard and now no calls, but sms and data works fine.
It seems that there are different SMC for 4g and 2/3G, so it seems that there is a hardware fault on the 3g/2g chip.
Gonna try to gunheat it.
Hello Folks,
I have an unlocked (SIM) Moto Z2 Force from AT&T that I am using on Freedom mobile in Canada. All the radios frequencies align between the carriers.
Data works perfectly.
Text messaging works perfectly.
BUT I cannot make or receive calls.
If I dial, I get no dialing tones outbound. (NO RINGING)
The phone will not accept *#*#4636#*#* so I cannot fiddle with any of these settings.
Thoughts or directions? Anything would help.
CE
Can you make calls over 2G or 3G? By default VoLTE is enabled.
i found there is no voice call, when i chose LTE only in *#*#4636#*#* , unless LTE/WCDMA is selected
Interesting.

I've tried to access *#*#4636#*#* many many times -- it does not work.
I will try to force it to LTE/WCDMA to see if this works.
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.
