Abstract: The various embodiments include methods for managing how a MSMS communication device that is accessing an arbitrary combination of multiple telephony networks processes paging collisions. The embodiment methods promote improving a subscription's page blocking rate by causing a MSMS communication device to implement a retransmission remedial action for a blocked subscription. In the various embodiments, the MSMS communication device may implement the retransmission remedial action by increasing a blocked subscription's priority during a subsequent retransmission interval to increase the likelihood that the blocked subscription will receive a repeated page message from its mobile network during this retransmission interval. In some embodiments, the blocked subscription's current priority may be based on the number of retransmission intervals that are presently occurring.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices providing a framework which reduces the amount of switching required by single transceiver hardware chain mobile devices operating multiple cellular technology and/or service stacks. The various embodiments enable two or more service stacks on the mobile device of various cellular technologies (e.g., 3GPP GSM, UMTS, LTE, WCDMA, etc), to share information, such as network measurements. The various embodiments may also enable one service stack to perform procedures for and provide information to another service stack.

Abstract: A particular method includes receiving first data via a first network at a device that is configured to receive the first data via the first network based on a first wireless communication subscription and is configured to receive second data via a second network based on a second wireless communication subscription. The method also includes while receiving the first data, determining that a tuneaway period associated with the second network has passed, where the tuneaway period is longer than a discontinuous reception (DRX) cycle length associated with the second network. The method further includes tuning a receiver of the device to a paging channel of the second network in response to passing of the tuneaway period.

Abstract: Methods and apparatuses are presented for sleep optimization based on system information block SIB scheduling. A method for invoking sleep states within user equipment (UE) is presented. The method includes decoding a broadcast control channel with a cell, determining a System Information Block (SIB) schedule associated with the cell, determining a sleep time interval based upon the SIB schedule, and placing the UE in a sleep state using the sleep time intervals. An apparatus for invoking sleep states within UE is presented. The apparatus includes logic configured to decode a broadcast control channel with a cell, logic configured to determine a SIB schedule associated with the cell, logic configured to determine a sleep time interval based upon the SIB schedule, and logic configured to place the UE in a sleep state using the sleep time intervals.

Abstract: A mobile telephone displays user information on a display. The mobile telephone displays an information icon on the display if help information is available that is related to the user information on the display. The mobile telephone generates a control signal if an information key on the mobile telephone is activated. The mobile telephone displays the help information on the display in response to the generation of the control signal when the information icon is displayed.

Abstract: A mobile telephone displays a status menu on a mobile telephone display. The status menu includes an antenna position status that indicates if an antenna for the mobile telephone is properly positioned. The mobile telephone continually updates the antenna position status in the status menu when the status menu is displayed.

Abstract: A mobile telephone has an existing configuration and displays a menu. The mobile telephone generates a time-out from the menu if an elapsed time after entering the menu exceeds a time period. In response to the time-out, the mobile telephone implements a new configuration based on the menu in which the time-out occurred.
