I bought the f3 about 2 years ago but only started using it when i moved to spain from the uk
I put a spanish movistar prepay sim card in it and it seemed to work ok
After a few days i noticed i wasnt receiving any calls
When i checked the phone i had an X (error) on the phone and when i tried ringing my own number with another mobile it wouldnt connectThe voice on the phone also only speaks for a split second then goes off,but this worked fine before
I do not jnow how to resolve this

I’ve had this phone for 2 years..bought it in Costa Rica and so far it’s been ok. I had a problem with it not going to voice mail and got that fixed but now it’s doing it again. when I receive a call it rings 2 times and stops. On testing it I found that it wasn’t even going to voice mail, just dropping the call. Any ideas on how to fix this?

I’ve had mine for 16 months and I’m having trouble with the battery and signal bars across the top. They turn mixed up shades of gray while the phone is sitting on. At start up and shut down they still turn black correctly, but once the screen finishes it’s start up routine they go gray. But the main screen is still functioning perfectly. Anyone else have this? It’s really annoying as I have to just guess what my battery level is.

I’ve had the (unlocked) f3 for over a year on T-Mobile with no problems up to now. I’m experiencing the same issue as Joe (post #383).

Here’s what I did: I dialed #31# + the number to block my ID. Success! My ID showed up as anonymous. I dialed the same number without the code and my ID is still blocked. I must dial *31# + the number (or *82 + the number) so the recipient can see my ID. This is the same for any number I dial now.

My outbound caller ID is permanently blocked and I must unblock on a per call basis. I spent hours with T-Mobile level 3 engineering and Motorola level 1 support with no resolution. Each state that it’s the other’s issue and I’m stuck in the middle.

The T-Mobile engineer has been very helpful trying to resolve this but it’s got us both scratching our heads. He manually configured the switch so my caller ID will show however, attempting to call a number then fails by the f3 displaying an “X”.

I put my SIM card in another unlocked phone and all works normally so deductive reasoning leads me to believe it’s the f3 that’s the culprit.

Checking the caller ID block status by dialing *#31#, the f3 responds with “ON”. I cannot find any GSM codes or advanced Moto codes to toggle the default outbound caller ID block to “OFF”.

Any gurus have an answer to this?

TIA,
John
