[Q] little help here.... - Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]

weird problem, kind of a biggy, my phone wont receive calls. I've run through several pages of google search over this issue, no answer, though I came across a few people with similar issues. I figured xda would be my best bet, if you guys can't help me...
Everything else works great, web, email, sms, outgoing calls, everything but incoming. This is kind of a big deal, I sort of need my phone to be working. When I get an incoming call, the phone vibrates, rings once, then goes silent. There's nothing on the caller id, but I did note that the signal drops to zero when it rings, dropping the call. From the other end, you just get cut off, it doesn't direct you to voice mail even.
I am currently running paragon rc6 rom, but just swapped over from the phoenix 5.2 rom tonight, as I mistakenly thought the issue was with the rom, but considering that it has continued even after flashing a new rom, it would seem to be something else entirely.
I don't know what the issue is, I swapped sims with my wife's phone, worked just fine calling her phone with my sim, but my phone still wouldn't work with her sim in it.
I have had the battery in and out a half dozen times in the past 24 hours, so I don't think that's going to fix the issue......I don't know what else to try. Can't very well call Rogers since they'll just blame the issue on the fact that I was screwing around with my phone, and since it flashes back to a stock at&t confige, I can't very well flash it back and pretend I never did anything
appreciate your help, stressing me out a little, need my phone for work, and my wife will have my balls if I broke it

Randomly unable to receive calls

A few weeks ago I got a HTC Desire on Virgin Mobile (I believe they use T-Mobile's network) in the UK.
I'm having a bit of a problem with it, though. At seemingly random points, if somebody tries to phone me, it will go straight to my voice mail. If I then try to phone them back it will work. And usually, if they try to phone me back after that it will work too.
At first I thought it might be a problem with my phone being on standby, as that's when it seems to happen the most. But I have received calls when it's on standby and I've also had a few calls go straight to voicemail when the phone isn't on standby too.
Does anyone have any ideas why this might be? I've tried looking through the phone settings for anything obvious that could be causing this problem but I can't see anything.

[Q] Stopped receiving texts... WTF?

So Around 12pm (MST) I stopped receiving texts and found it weird people were asking why I hadn't responded and I thought it was a root or other tool that messed something up.
After trying to do a restart and taking out the battery I finally did a factory reset and got texts from WAY before I rooted my Captivate and everything was stock.
Has anyone run into this problem? And does anyone know if there's a way to reset the communication data (like in the iPhone)?
I've had this problem multiple times. I get MMS messages, and I can send texts, but not receive. Both with my current Captivate and my last one. I called AT&T when I had the old one and they had to reset the routing tables. Well after like 16 hours nothing happened (they said it could take up to 24) so I went and got my Captivate replaced. Put my SIM in, bam. 51 new text messages. It happened last night to me too. Called again, but this time it fixed itself. So give them a call, see what they can do..
It has only happened to me once and that was when I had just gotten the phone. I was told by an at&t rep to take out the sim card for like a minute...I did that and it hasn't happened since. I'm rooted now and no issues, so it's not caused by rooting.
Sent from my Samsung Captivate!!!
This happned to me too but all I had to do is reboot the phone then I was able to send and recieve again.
I noticed at work we sometimes get complete outages in service (we have an AT&T repeater on our roof at HP since we're out in the middle of nowhere and only get Edge) and after leaving work and getting reception I didn't receive any texts.
I shut down the phone, took out the battery, and booted it back up and sure enough about 6 text messages came in. So powering down the phone and just starting it back up didn't do anything but removing the card seemed to do the trick.
I just don't get why it does that :-\

No Sim Card

My S3 has been giving me a no sim card issue. It happens when I try to text or make a call. I then have to wait approximately 30 seconds for it to reconnect then try to send the text or make the call again. This is very annoying. So annoying that I am thinking about taking the phone back into verizon and getting a different phone.
I have read others on the net that have had this issue as well. Are there different radios or is there something else I can do to resolve the issue? I like this phone but this 1 issue is ruining it enough to where I am thinking about trading it for a different model.
I got that after having the phone for about a month the first time last night when I received a call. It asked if I wanted to accept my friends call or send to voicemail. Then it started flipping out with no SIM card notification and screen turning off and refusing to stay on. Had to reboot to fix the issue. No idea what, but something went terribly wrong and definitely scared me. Network here gives all sorts of trouble on any 4G phone.

Pixel SMS/MMS issues

So my first pixel (32gb black) had microphone issues and had that replaced yesterday no problem. It was all working totally fine and like it should until after the ball drop last night when all of the sudden my phone would not send text messages anymore. So I went to bed thinking it was just tower overload from the new year celebration. Then I wake up this morning and my wife tells me she got 20 text messages from me all in duplicates. I think great, its all fixed. Then I realized throughout the day that while my messages were going out now I was not getting any back. We tested this and sure enough nothing is coming through.
So I chatted with a Google rep and after doing all the troubleshooting (Safe mode, cache clear, reboots, etc) we still had the same issue. At that point he says he talked to a specialist who says its a known issue affecting a small group of Pixel owners and they are working as quickly as possible to fix it.
Anyone else experiencing this? I haven't been able to find any other posts about it which seems really unusual.
I have the exact same problem as you! You're not alone...and yes this is very frustrating. I haven't seen much posted about this issue either. I also thought it was tower overload until my mother-in-law told me my mom was texting me and I wasn't getting any of the texts. Can you send texts? I can. What about phone calls? I can still make and receive those. I'm talking to google as we speak. See what happens.
Well I'm glad I am not alone. I can also still send messages and make and receive calls. Just no text messages coming in. They said it might be my sim card and they want me to talk to my carrier which is ATT. who is your carrier? Let me know what they say or if you get it resolved!
I've been having the same issue with AT&T. Also the same thing happened to me on NYE. I sent happy new year to a friend and he got it like 30 times. I then didnt get any txt's for the rest of the night. I then rebooted my pixel in the AM and I got flooded with txt's I didnt get the night before.
This has been an on going problem for me and AT&T because I get txt's in spurts. Nothing for a while then all of a sudden I get a chunk and then nothing again. It's also very random as I have not been about to duplicate it. I think it's just something with AT&T and the pixel.

I had almost the same issue. I sent out some texts for the new year that night and they kept saying failed but people said they got them about 100 times. From there I turned it off and rebooted in the morning. Then it was exactly the opposite with them going through no problem but not coming back at all.
I had another Pixel prior to this and never had any issue after a month of use. My brother and SIL also have the same phone on my plan and live right up the road and have never had the issue. It seems unusual that its only affecting SOME phones and not all who have the same set of conditions.
I'm going to talk to my local AT&T store today and see if they will pop in a new SIM card for me and give that a shot.
I have similar SMS issues with my Pixel XL on ATT. In my case, I seem to have more issues sending or receiving SMS while connected to WIFI. Disconnect WIFI and they send/receive as they should. I've had ATT replace my SIM and check all necessary configs on their side and all looks good according to them. I can take that same SIM and put it in my Nexus 6P and all works as it should on WIFI or on carrier.

So I just tried turning off wifi and sending a few test texts. Still nothing for me coming back. I wish that would at least temporarily solve the issue so I could get on with my day to day life. It seems strange that others are having this issue but there isn't any chatter about it online. I thought more people would be posting about it but there is nothing.
ATT has an SMS test number you can send "test" to 151 and it will respond if all is working correctly. I have the same results with that test number as I do with any other contacts.
Okay so I got mine resolved. I went to the ATT store and they put in a new SIM card and reset network settings. They also reregistered the serial number of the phone to my number. After that all my messages came flooding in and I've been fine ever since. So many one of those three things fixed it though I had already reset my network setting before so I don't think that was it. Best of luck to the others out there!

Calls and Messages Not Coming Through Even with Full Service

Hello All,
I have been a One owner for about three years now, have had it rooted and with a custom ROM since the day I got it, and have no issues until very recently. Within the last two weeks, I have started experiencing a strange issue. Basically, a lot of calls and texts aren't coming through. In the case of the calls, I never receive a missed call notification. With the texts, people will send me messages and I won't get them until hours later sometimes, and then they all come in at once. Sometimes however, everything works fine and I can have a conversation over text just fine, or I'm able to get a call. The weird thing is though, I can call people just fine whenever, and my texts send right away. Another strange thing: my phone showed that I had full bars all throughout this time. I immediately assumed that it was an issue on the carrier side (AT&T), so I called them up. At first they told me that there were three towers down in my area, and that was likely the cause of my problems. This made since, as they also said that the towers had been down since Tuesday the 6th, which coincidentally is when I got back into town, and have been back since. They assured me that the towers would all be fixed by today, the 12th. Well, I was still noticing that I was having issues again, so I called AT&T, and they told me that the towers were fixed, but that they would escalate my problem to the network engineers, and that they would get back to me in 3-5 business days. At this point: I'm considering that the problem must be a hardware issue with my phone, rather than a service issue, as it all didn't quite add up. I had already flashed a different ROM and had a new SIM installed so it wasn't either of those. So, I went to my local AT&T store and picked up a ZTE Mayven 2 for $40, to try and figure out if it was really a service issue or if it was the One. I've only had it for a few hours at this point, but everything seems to be working fine. I'll continue to use it for a few days to confirm.
Has anyone ever had a similar experience to this, or have an idea what the issue could be or how I could fix it on my end? I'm pretty unfamiliar with flashing radios/modems, etc., but I wonder if that could be the issue. Also, I am running Sultan's Cyanogen Mod build version 13.0-ZNH5Y-20120430-STABLE. Any help is greatly appreciated!
