Occasional No Dial Out / SMS not sending

[Guest nick30uk]

Hi all,

Looking for a bit of help/advice.

On occasions, probably between 1-3 times a day, when I try to make a call on the Hero, the call appears to look like it is dialing out but it just sits there saying 'dialing' but never connects to the destination which can be any UK number / Orange 150 etc. Either rebooting the phone or leaving it for 10 mins or so fixes the problem, but it does become annoying!

At the same time as this happening, when I try to send an SMS, I get the error 'SMS not able to send' in the notification bar. Again, I have to keep trying and it sorts itself out.

A final problem and I am not sure if it is related or not is I have had numerous people try calling me at various times, my phone doesn't ring or display a missed call, nor do I get a missed call SMS but the person who tried calling me said the line was actually ringing first and then went through to voicemail. I have witnessed this myself by calling my phone, getting a ringing line but the phone doesn't respond?

Any ideas of help would be appreciated. This problem has existed on Modaco Roms 2.2, 2.8 and 3.0 - I'm on Orange UK.

Thanks,

Nick

I'm on Orange, but I can't believe that's significant, it's all the same hardware... ...Isn't it?

I'm on Tmob UK and have the same outgoing call issue...

I'm pretty sure it's a hardware problem!

I'm on Skodafone UK and I have the problem as mentioned.

Orange UK, MCR 3.0, Latest Radio,

Same problem.

Yep, well I suppose the positive is that we're not alone in the problem and a new release might sort it later on. Until then, I guess we just have to put up with the ball ache of switching 2G/3G or reboot.
