Please, HELP cant receive calls - Desire General

Hi guys, Im so desperated my phone keeps sending the incoming calls straight to the voicemail. Im aware of the 2G non being able to cope with data and voice at the same time, but i was also experiencing this in 3G. So I installed APNdroid so no data can be update automatically.
This worked for a few days but now I have 2 or 3 signal bars (2G) and the flipping phone keeps sending the incoming calls to the voicemail!!!!!!!!!!! Im about to throw it against the wall mate, Im so frustrated
Any help please????
btw, I have an unrooted HTC desire (Orange Uk) with official ROM 1.21.405.2
radio 32.36.00.28U 4.06.00.02_2

is anyone having the same problem? I dont know if my phone is faulty or its Orange Uk....

67 VIEWS!! and no one could help me???????

I guess not! Chances are there's a physical problem with your phone, so I'd send it back if I were you.
Of course, this also assumes you haven't done something silly like set the phone to divert all calls to voicemail, or installed an app that does something similar.
Regards,
Dave

thanks Dave!
I havent done anything you mentioned above, and believe it or not this is the second replacement, thats why i though it was an Orange problem. i think im gonna give up on the desire if i cant find a solution soon. cant keep missing calls.
thanks for your help dude, nice to know i wasnt benig ignored

missed calls & sms ... suddenly!!!

hi,
from time to time I experience the folowing:
Suddenly, soemone call me to other phone becuase he's trying to contact me. I see my artemis and it's OK, switched on and signal bars at 90%. I dont know why when someone try to call me appears like the phone is switched off.
I make a soft reset and strat to receive missed calls + sms's.
I have Vanilla 4.02 ROM and I use very often the wifi connection....
br.
im with you there, this is the reason why i went back to my aging nokia 6280. ive tried about 10 different roms and it would never pick up the signal unless rebooted. what happens with mine and a few of my friends was on london underground you would lose the signal obviously underground, when you came out the phone would pick up the signal but never recieve a call or sms. also the gprs wouldnt connect unless it was rebooted. ive had a few htcs in the past but because of this poor show i wont ever purchase another one.
my phone done this from day one of ownership, tmobile told me that firmware upgrades would fix this annoying problem, but it never did.
maybe you should try updating your radio ROMs
flashing different ROMs wont help
done half a dozen of them as well on my phone.

Even, I had the same problem, but since I moved to Radio version 3.21.XX, everything is just fine, no problems since then. Even 3.24.XX is out now, you should definitely give it a try. Hope it works for you!!
Cheers!
Same problem
Thanks for posting. I have the same problem with the same ROM. I'll change radio rom.
Radio Rom changed
Radio Rom changed 3.34.90 . No problems and good quality

tired now, phone NEVER rings??? why?

my phone just never rings, im so sick of people asking me why im always on voice mail, ive been with htc desire for so long and had many roms, just feel its getting worse and worse.
I am using the latest 2.5 gv rom and have tried several radios, i just get the same problem constantly, sat there, phone pops up a message X person called but left no message, my phone just never rings
any advise please?
You have the problem with other ROMs or just GV2.5?
what about the stock one?
is there a chance its the signal that's poop not the phone/radio?
didnt really wanna go back to a sense based rom, I am sure its always done this a little but not as much as now, I do think its got worse since using gv if anything, but so many roms to choose from and didnt wanna have to wipe my sd card to go to another.
I guess its easier than a new phone, my work bb just never fails, so its tempting to just get another one of them tired of this problem now.
can the actual rom cause this to happen? not just the radio? signal is ok in my area.

U don't have to wipe ur sd card to change rom
no i know but quite often the way a2sd and stuff all works it requires messing about and can get messy, like some of the roms i looked at were different size ext partitions and so on also.
What roms and radios are you guys using with a reliable phone service? ie not many dropped calls?
thanks
not had any issues with 3.06.405.2 with 32.56.00.32U_5.17.05.08
32.56.00.32U_5.17.05.08 is what i am using, as you posted, just phoned the htc from my bb, straight to voice mail then a text comes through instantly...
which rom are you using?
any suggestions? or just get a new phone! cos thats where its heading, i think the motorola atrix is looking good for an upgrade, just flash old rom onto desire and sell!
I think you should contact your operator, isn't a problem with rom and radio
When someone call you, the phone have to receive the call
So, or ur desire have some fault, or the simcard/ur line/ur operator have a problem..
Did you tried to understand when it doesn't ring? Try to understand, why it not get the call in that moment
Anyway you can call ur service operator and say that sometimes the call u receive go directly to the voice mail..They can check something on the line i think..

[Q] JB, cant sms or use 3g.

Hey, i have just installed the newest MIUI Australia 3.1.11v2 on my HOX, and i have one simple problem.
At first nothing worked, but after a few reinstallations, the only thing not working now is sms and data.
I can make calls, recieve calls and recieve sms's, but i can't send any sms's myself, and i cant get on the internet unless using wifi.
I updated my hboot to 1.39, and if there is anything else you need just ask
Hope someone can help me.

Had sort of issues like you. Did everything to fix it. Turned out my SIM couldn't register on the network of my operator (2g all fine, 3g mess up). If you call the support of your operator, they can look it up. Had to get a replacement SIM.
Try disable 3g and send a sms to someone, when I had 3g on it wouldn't deliver the sms. As soon it was disabled it could.
Not saying you got the same, but most of the issues you report are very familiar with what I got in past.

Well just tried to disable the data, but it didn't work. I just cant see why the problem should be caused by the sim since it worked fine with another rom yestaday?

It started with rooting the device by me. When I got the device I left it stock without root for 4 weeks, after that week I started to get this problem. From one on the other day. It didn't make sense at all.
I serious spent 5 months to fix this, I had made radio changes, RIL changes, ROM changes, removing root, had contact with services centers, had contact with operator, had contact with HTC and none of them worked or could provide a solution. Untill I got a (smart) girl on the phone at the operator support who told me to get a new sim card to see if the phone would register at the network then.
Thats why I say this to you, as none acctually knows what went wrong and you have exact same issues as me. In case you spent so much time to find it out while someone could have a solution available.

[Q] Virgin Mobile HTC One V [CDMA] cannot make calls or text reflashed RUU

Hi, so I decided to root/unlock my phone to see if I could fix my cell signal problem, it just randomly started to drop signal every time I made a call and I could not send 100% of my texts and would receive a text once in a blue moon. My 3g for data works fine... I changed roms, still couldn't acquire a signal other than data and the same issue would happen after flashing to different ROMs.
So I reflashed RUU to revert back to stock and I still cannot make a call or send a text. What am I doing wrong? I have searched far and wide and lots of stuff, I don't understand about radio files but maybe those would help? I need some pretty noob proof advice/guides to be honest as I've been having trouble with all of this, and I like my phone, so it'd be nice if I could make calls and text again.

[SOLVED] Can't receive calls.....but I can make them? (very detailed thread)

I'm having a VERY specific issue with my ATT M8 that I can't seem to figure out. First and foremost, I've tried wiping all partitions and starting over....with 3 different ROMS (Liquid, Candy5, Bliss Pop) and none of them allow me to RECEIVE calls. I've even done an RUU back COMPLETELY to stock everything using the ATT stock Lollipop RUU image. When I boot the stock RUU I can again receive calls. Below is the detailed info on the scenario....
Can't receive calls but I'm notified if someone leaves a voice mail.
Making calls from my phone works fine.
If I'm on the phone and someone calls me the phone notifies me like it normally would.
When someone tries to call me, they hear it ring the proper number of times and it does NOT go straight to voice mail.
That last bullet is VERY important. The fact the call doesn't go straight to voice mail is an indication the ATT network knows my phone is indeed powered on and available. Strangely though, it doesn't ring or do anything to otherwise show someone is trying to call.
At this point I'm really stumped. How on Earth is this even possible? Especially after doing the RUU and having the phone work as intended only to try and flash any other ROM later and have it not receive calls. I'm 100% stumped and really need y'alls help.!
**SOLUTION BELOW**
Apparently AT&T is rolling out HD Voice in many areas. It's basically voice over LTE and it's not compatible with many custom ROMS. This is why flashing the stock AT&T RUU made everything work just fine but when I tried ANY custom ROM it wouldn't work.
If this happens to you try the following....disable LTE by turning off mobile data or simply switching to 3G. Then try to call yourself or have someone call you. If the call comes through on your handset it's due to HD Voice having been activated on your account. I called AT&T and explained that I needed HD Voice turned off for my account. You'll likely have to talk to tech support. Ask them when it was activated on your account. Mine was activated last week which is the EXACT time I started having issues. The AT&T tech will ask that you power down the phone whilst they make the changes. Then turn your phone back on (with LTE active) and try a test call. It should work for you.
Big thanks to @redpoint73 for helping me figure this out!
I'm wondering if after doing the RUU my radio or something isn't at a proper level. Attached is a screenshot of my current bootloader. Anyone see something out of the ordinary that needs updating?
Yeah, I would go ahead and check with ATT if there are any bars on your account. Sounds like more of a network issue than a phone issue.

Thanks for the reply! What would lead you to believe it's a network issue? I can make calls just fine and if I'm on the phone and someone calls me it works as if it normally would. Only issue is when someone calls me and I'm NOT on the phone.
Try turning off LTE, and see if you can get calls.
Some folks have been having issues with "international" based Sense ROMs not playing well with AT&T's LTE network upgrades (in preparation for Voice Over LTE). Not sure if this affects AOSP ROMs, but I have a feeling this is the problem.

Sooooo yeah, changing my mobile data to 3G all of a sudden allows calls to come through. What exactly is at play here and how do I fix it?

As I already described, AT&T is upgrading their LTE network for Voice Over LTE (they call it "HD Voice") and something in that upgrade doesn't seem to be playing well for some people on international based custom ROMs. In addition to voice call problems, you will probably also find SMS messages won't work on LTE.
Curiously, the problem seems to be very location specific. I've been running Skydragon Sense and LeeDroid for a few months, and on AT&T network. And everything has been working fine for me at my home location, as well as a few other locations around the country (I travel pretty occasionally for work). These are some of the ROM that others have had AT&T LTE issues with; and at one point even in the same city as another user that was suffering this issue (Chicago area). But for me, everything seemed to work fine.
The only real fix is to go back to stock AT&T based ROM. Folks have tried to flash various radios, and other things with no luck. Team Venom (Viper ROM) also said they would look into it a few months ago; but I don't think anything ever came of that.
An ingenious workaround posted by another user (if you want to stay on an international ROM): call AT&T and ask them to turn off HD Voice for your account. So you can still use LTE for data, but the call bug won't occur.
Of course, the downside for this is that you won't be able to utilize HD Voice. But that is probably the lesser of evils, if you want to stay on the current ROM.

I agree, its a good workaround. Especially since HD Voice requires users on both ends of the call to have a phone that supports the feature; and few phones for the time being have it. So having HD Voice turned off on your account (even if its deployed in your area) is probably mostly irrelevant.

It's certainly possible. I live in Dallas which is a fairly large area. It wouldn't surprise me if we were one of the areas that got it first. Sucks being a guinea pig but I've left a trail of breadcrumbs for everyone else to follow.

I'm in Boston area, and according to the AT&T maps, HD Voice is working here.
Although, I got the M8 long before it supported the feature (they added it with the 4.4.4 OTA). So I don't know how they decide when to activate it on your account; but if its device related, I can see how it might not be on mine yet.

Have any of you tried to disable enhanced 4G LTE Mode in network settings instead of slowing you down to 3g?

If you are on AT&T and suffering this problem, my advice would be to call AT&T and ask them to turn off HD Voice on your account. The enhanced LTE setting on the phone does nothing to help this problem.

Thank you so much! I've been looking everywhere for a solution after I installed the Resurrection Remix Rom 5.7.4 on a replacement HTC M8 that I bought new. Love these now 3+ year old phones but not recieving phone calls was crazy. I thought I would be forced to go back to stock.
