Always got "CALL FAILED" problem after upgraded to 1.1.4 using ziphone 2.5c. But i'm still able to receive call.. Whenever i encounter this, i have to run ziphone 2.5c agian to solve the problem. But after 1 or 2 weeks later, the same problem will come back again n this is already my 3rd times

anybody can help on this...???

if ur on maxis..its a known issue

TS, wat telco are u using ?

turn ON your caller id. Try resetting the network settings.

i have tried to reset the network setting and reboot . but it doesn't help...
btw, im using maxis ....
i'm turning on the 'caller id' now .. lets see if it is helping!!

HanXz,
you encountered this b4 as well ? how you solved it ?

rockford,

rockford amp too strong d la till MAXIS cannot fit your iphone. heehee
change to 16G lo !!!

It is a MAXIS problem...

its not cause of the iphone... maxis..
even other phones are affected... getting real bored of this...

that means maxis simcard wont work well on iPhone?

Don't think it is simcard related. It is Maxis' network problem lah.

Well whichever way, that means iPhone is not maxis-friendly? meaning to avoid probs, users must now use other Telcos instead? I am a hotlink user btw.

its nothing to do with the phone.. its maxis...
even my SE and motorola having problems with hotlink...

If u don't want these problems, then change to Digi lah.

DIGI.. !!!!

Yes, DIGI.....always the smarter choice.
However, I'm still sticking to the not
so smart choice, Maxis. Hehe.
Just too much hassle to change
numbers.

I don't know if u guys noticed this.. If u call a number and its engaged, the iPhone also displays "Call Failed"

I was in Macau and HK last month and I had none of these "Call Failed" problems while on their network. Used to think Maxis is the best but everyone I talk to seems to agree they're seriously slacking..but we can't just change provider, its too much of a hassle.

guys.. but why after i unlock/jail break again it will solve the problem?
the problem is it is not intermittently that 'call failed' or maybe after several tries it works again .
my problem is it totally cannot call out. no matter how many times i try ....

my previous O2 Atom also having de same prob tat in facing wif my current iphone,btw im a hotlink prepaid user~~

Totally cannot call out?! Not even a call?
Can receive calls, send sms? If all also cannot,
r u sure your's unlocked properly or not?

Most of the "Call Failed" problems Maxis users
face happen 'occasionally' only. Still can call out.

Ya, totally n completely cannot call out.
can receive call , can send and receive sms

what i did for the unlock is just restore to 1.1.4 from itune and then execute ziphone 2.5c (do it all).

er.... not to insult u or anything ah... but your Hotlink
got credit ah? hehehehe....

hahaahaa
brother!! i'm on postpaid le

Happens everywhere or only in your house?
Anyway, if that happened only after u upgraded to 1.1.4,
maybe u should try restoring and re-do the whole
process all over again. Restore, Jaiilbreak, Activate, Unlock,
Appsupport..... blah blah blah.... then try again.

yeah...mR Rockford..your area coverage not good ler.
TUKAR iphone !!!! haha

it happened anywhere ...
if it happens again, probably i have to try restore and do it all over again.
becoz the previous time, i did not restore it, but only jailbreak, activate and unlock.

In that case, better restore it then start fresh!

looks like that is the only solutio i can apply ..haizzz!!! no choice la

btw, have u guys tried ziphone 2.6b ?? would it be better if i use that ?

Have not tried 2.6. U try n see lor...

isn't it better to use iplus 2.0b instead of ziphone? heard that ziphone unlocking/activation/jailbreak methods are actually not reversible as opposed to iplus?

edit: by the way, i have this call failed problem as well. so there isn't anything we can do to solve this rite now?

edit2:

Update:

Problem solved by turning "Call Waiting" & "Call Forwarding" OFF and "Send User ID" ON.

it is a known issue with MAXIS

evar9,
When was the last time you had this problem?
btw, "Send User ID" = "Show My Caller ID" right ?

Yup, I have the same problem initially, but once I tuirn the "Show My Caller ID" On, it seem problem solved.

I had the problem 2 days ago. Everything seems to be working fine once the "Show My Caller ID" gets turned on.

Call failed will still turn up time to time, but usually a redial will make it go away

Actually, when the other line is busy..
it will also show call failed

Really hope this will solve the problem...
this has nothing to do with the line but its the phone problem.
most of u guys said this is a known bug from MAXIS, whereby occasionally you will get the 'call failed' problem but after try you will still able to get thu.
but this is different as it completely cannot call out no mattter how many times u try

i also faced this problem .
damm maxis.

Maxis punya "Call Failed" problem is only occasional and not
"Always" like yours. So, u'd better check other possible reason for it.

restore 1.1.4 and re-zipone2.6. Do not back-up ! Everything fresh is a good to go. !

i also facing such problems..... but sometime i change the number format from..


+6012345678

to

012345678


and its work for me.. can some1 confirm this ??

i using 1.1.4 with Iplus unlocked.

I thought i'm the only one having this problem...Maxis really sucks man...my fren using Digi no such problem. I've compared Maxis & Digi EDGE and Digi loads so much faster with EDGE guys !!!

So your choice to choose which telco u want..

Common problem depends on location!

Yeah, I think like what ken_wickedboy mentioned, the problem is sometimes due to the location.

i'm using digi on iphone

yesterday i got call failed at my area from sri petaling --> bkt jalil --> tmn desa


after when i reach bangsar... the call fail problem is gone

i think is depend on the cell tower,

no wonder my gf keep complaining iphone not good..bla bla bla..only maxis got this issue? how about digi

wow 1st time heard digi got prb
but then i still thinking maxis is the worst

digi got that problem too.. i think is the tower which rosak adi...

when i reach bangsar.. no more problem

mine using Maxix post-paid, avtime making calls in my house (Seramban) there kind of breaks in between the conversations, n gurantees within 30mins sure will disconnect once... realli frustrated...

so it's not due to iPhone then? it's Maxis tower? but i din face any problems when using O2 or SonyEricsson back then...

I'm facing ppl failed to call my iphone..they awiz says that my phone cannot get thru.

i'm facing quite frequent the phone awiz rebooting. Meaning to say newtwork reboot comfirmation by entering passcode.

anyone face b4 ?

hi there ya ppl cant get me too...
but mostly i get call failure for like 2 times in a roll then only i can call out.

Maxis called me out say whether im using iPhone haha they say equipment prob

Which means till now Maxis still a glitch for the iPhone's network? Gosh, I'm on Maxis.

yep you got that right , first call attempt always failed ( 8 out of 10), there is something fishy with Maxis network.

I faced this kinda issue too but usually the 2nd attempt went smooth.

Did you all notice that we cannot see who is on the 2nd line during call waiting ?

Is it? strange , why this is not happen to me.

The second attempt ussually works, at leastt 9 out of 10

Not glitches. Malaysian cell tower are simply not prepared to support iPhone. Most cell tower are old/backdated and needed to be patched. Thankfully, cell towers do have a long range of reach, allowing our phone to toggle to another tower if it screws up

Well ... even before using iPhone also i'm having this issue. Its Maxis capacity problem. They just patched the software in their towers to work with iPhone last year so i don't think it the tower problem. It maxis itself.

Insider reveals:
Not all! Cell tower can't be patched remotely.

i also have this problem le. calling failed since today noon. im also maxis uses. after i change my sim card and it is also same calling failed but i can receive call and sms.. any solotion?

infront of number u called. add on +6
might helps

means like u call digi friend
+6016-xxxxxxx
call maxis friend
+6012-xxxxxxx

try see. . .

did that it worked like a charm..since i changed to iPhone ive changed all the numbers to +60 easier

by the way im working in an area whereby its always 2 bar of signal (Im on MAXIS!) and so far since using iPhone ppl can contact me easily unlike my previous phone ...so nevertheless u hv to dial even 10 times wat matter most the call get connected...and ppl can call you in..

what version of iPhone does not have this prob?

(cuz ts said only after update version got this prob)

this also happens on my friend's iPhone,
what i did is to restore to factory firmware 1.1.4
then ziphone it.
it works again

mine works just fine.. name and picture also appears..
and yea its maxis..
even mine now still suffering..
its not ziphone at all...

you're not supposed to turn on Caller ID. If turned on, your call will fail. experienced this before and found the solution on the net.

just go to Settings>Phone>Show My Caller ID. Turn it OFF.

i thing that is normal , if the person u call is busy ,u will get this messages.

I had the "call failed" problem 2x already. I had to re-jailbreak in order to make it work. Anyway, today I found out this problem actually can easily overcome by going to setting > phone > show my caller ID > ON . I also found another tip says make sure setting > general > date&time : time zone set correctly. I hope this help. .


Iphone : 16GB
Firmware 1.1.4
Service provider : DiGi ( Always the smarter choice . . meh ? )

weird, i dont have any prob calling whoever & i just checked my setting, surprisingly i find my caller id was OFF

hmm maybe it just with digi, im on hotlink btw

the caller id should be set OFF, by default

tested with both my maxis and celcom sim card.

maybe only digi carrier have the prob with it & yes, by default it were OFF

I had encounter call failed a few times. But I think it is due to maxis. Another crazy thing happned today. After a phone call. The phone would on ...No life. Tried not to panic. Finally managed to on it with pressing power and home button together.

I'm using Digi and the caller ID is Off by default, so far didn't encounter any calling fail. I heard lot'sa Maxis user is having problem which either making calls or sms with the iPhone, not sure whether because of the Maxis Bandwith or the Sim Card problem but hopefully the next 3G unit don't have this problem.

I dun have any problems with SMSing. Just failed call only. But it s not bothering me lar. Just press call back.

me using maxis..my caller ID is off..so far (touch wood) no issues

sometime I call up to 10 times and all Failed! I've turned off the caller id thingy see how it it lah..

Juz add '+6' at the beginning of the number, for examples :
+60123456789.

Confirm workin'

Arent we already have v3.0? but, better make a good choice coz there's plenty of good jailbreaker/unlocker out there..
