HELP! TyTN Can't Receive Phone Calls! Only SMS!

[Oppressa]

ROM version: 1.18.255.3
ROM date: 05/30/06
Radio version: 1.03.03.10
Protocol version: 32.34.7010.01H
ExtROM version: 1.18.255.105

For the last few days, calls have not been able to come through to my TyTN. When people call my phone, there is just a message from the phone company (Telstra in this case) saying that the person has their phone switched off and a courtesy text message will be sent to tell them that they missed the call.

That text message is what I get. So I can call my phone from another number, get told it's off, then a few seconds later the message comes through to the phone!

A soft reset allows incoming calls again but this is ridiculous and SOMETIMES not doing anything works, I just have to wait and the next person who calls can sometimes get through!. Anyone have any ideas?

Network selection is Manual with Telstra selected. Network type is GSM and GSM/UMTS band is set to Auto (it was on GSM(900+1800)+UMTS(2100) but I changed it to Auto hoping it would help the problem.

Thanks!

Have you tried your sim card in an alternative phone, just to make sure it isn't a network problem?

Also, are you in a weak 3G signal area, if yes, perhaps this is happening because it is losing 3G and switching between the two types of signals. You could try selecting just GSM without UMTS (if that is an option in the settings) and see if that fixes it.

Strange, last week my issue was quite the opposite.
For some reason my "Messaging" went missing. The button configuration was still there, just no receiving of SMS and clicking on Messaging did not do anything. It was if the whole thing was uninstalled.
(I didn't play with any registry or Ext_Rom settings at the time).

A hard reset obviously fixed this.
But my situation is obviously different to yours.

I'm on Optus and am having no coverage/ or BAIC issues yet.

Well, changing the network and band to Auto seems to have fixed it so far...

I don't believe it's a phone related problem... I had similar issues with my Vodafone (UK) mobile the other week... Problem just sorted itself out after a couple of days.

Check you don't have voice diverts active. What doe the distant party caller get when they try to ring you?

Hahahaha yeah, I just realised after I posted. I'm a newbie and I just had the same problem the day before so you'll have to forgive me! :) Just trying to be helpful... :p Thanks :)

That's what used to happen on Telstra before they updated their network to support concurrent data and calling on NextG. Are you still using the first official Telstra ROM? Because if you are, and you are inadvertently creating a data connection then you will just receive the missed call SMS notification and no actual incoming call. I'd suggest at least the official ROM update first, and if you don't mind voiding your warranty, then go for one of the nice cooked ROMs on here :)

Hope it helps :D

I feel like such a dummy now. I only just looked at the original post date :(
