I have read through the FAQs and seen several posts from users of other phones and other networks with the same issue, but there has not been an answer to be found.
I've experienced this issue with 4 different ROMs now, so it's not ROM-based. I've tried 3 different radios, so it's not likely modem-based.
The issue is that I will get voicemail notifications for calls I miss, but I'm sitting at my desk with my phone and it didn't ring, nor is there a missed call indication. 5 minutes later, someone else might call me and the call comes through fine. It appears to be purely random. People who call me sometimes get through, sometimes not. It's not the same person who can't get through, or the same network.
Does anyone have an idea what is happening?

Your description definitely sounds familiar. There are times when the phone was under clothing or left on vibrate, then there are those back to back instances where you notice because the first call went straight to voicemail and the next one gets through.
Ideas? Maybe not, but there may be some clues worth considering. Every wireless carrier I've used suffers dead spots where you are 99% guaranteed to have your call drop in progress driving by.
Locally (NJ) AT&T has 2 on the westbound "covered roadway" leading to the skyway. My point is I've observed where they won't affect my passenger's TMobile calls. Oddly, when I experience this there, the call has usually gone on uninterrupted through the Holland Tunnel. Must be an infrastructure quirk.
The drive by carrier dead zone is a fixed location call deterrent. An expert could probably say how much each example is based on tower locations versus radio interference. I guess a similar scenario might be possible wherein the call recipient is stationary, like at your desk, and some moving interference breaks a fragile tower connection. I have to say it seems a lot less prevalent with SR vs. previous smartphones and with my current ROM / Modem vs. former ones.

Thanks. No, this is definitely chronic and not related to dead spots. I have my phone with me at my desk, 3 or 4 bars, no issues. Just doesn't come in. It's been really bad since moving to the JB ROMs. It pretty much never happened without explanation (dead zone, etc.) when I was on ICS and earlier. :/
One other performance problem that my Captivate had resembled this.
When I complained to Customer Service, they did some kind of remote (non-destructive) "reset" of my account. That corrected the random call drops I had reported then.

Were you dropping calls midstream, or not receiving calls? My problem is with not receiving calls when I'm somewhere I usually do and at times when my cell service looks fine (adequate bars).

Now that you mention, I recall it was a mix. Bars were good, some calls were silently missed, others FCd the phone app while ringing in, forcing reboot. Good, stable calls surrounded the (<5%) failed ones. AT&T's account reset corrected both issues. Stock ROM back then was Éclair or Froyo.
Okay, so I switched from Verizon to AT&T to purchase this phone and for that reason I am unsure if the issues I am having are normal for AT&T or if it's something with the phone.
Whenever I get an incoming call, I hear the phone ring at least once maybe even twice before the screen wakes up for me to answer. Is this happening to anyone else? This issue definitely seems like a software thing not a network thing.
When I make outgoing calls there's about half of a second to a second delay before the call connects. This I feel is probably more of an AT&T thing than a phone thing but again I wanted to ask.
Please let me know if you have had any similar experiences.
Thanks in advance!
hi,
my girlfriends oneplus is often not receiving calls. right now shes looking for jobs and is getting a lot of calls from employers. she often didnt receive any calls but have voicemails left for her. we have full reception at my house so its not a reception issue. after rebooting the phone, she can receive calls again but after a day or 2, the same thing will happen and she will have to reboot her phone again. any ideas what can be causing this? i have the oneplus and dont have this issue aside from sometimes SMS not coming through until after a reboot or is delayed.
I'm having the same issues with my one plus one. My signal will drop to zero bars and then I have to restart my phone.
With the Z3, When the phone is left idle for a couple minutes it sends all calls straight to voice mail. It will ring twice then go to voicemail. If I pick it up and send a text then if someone calls it will come through. It is happening on my fiance z3c and on my z3?
Its frustrating
Did you put sony imei? or an LTE capable phone IMEI?
I wouldve never noticed if I had not been trying to call my fiance only for it to go straight to voicemail. I got home and all the texts were there but not the calls. I then proceeded to text myself back. Then I called it again and magically calls were coming through again. I did this process 10x and it happens on both z3 and z3c. Its really weird. Please help
Same exact thing here! Just got my z3 and i noticed that people were telling me they had been calling me but it was going straight to voicemail. And all this during the day when I had my phone idle in my pocket. I have 4g on it and everything so I was hoping someone could help me out on this?

I am having the same issue, except I am also missing texts for hours at a time.
Hi,
I haven't been receiving some calls from my contacts whereas they say they have called and I didn't pick up the phone. This has been happening since the nougat update. Neither my phone rings nor i get any missed call notification. Help needed!!!!
Same here. Cost me a job interview today. Totally miffed off
same here, when it happens, I can't make any outgoing call either...
I've got the same problem, me and many guys I know with s7 flat or s7 edge
I've got the problem since nougat update, about a month before
I'm talking about many missed calls every single day
Did a factory reset, nothing changed
I've contacted with dealership here in Greece and told me bul****s, that there isn't any issue officialy
I really don't know what to do
Had the same issu. After turning WiFi calls off. Every Thing works fine
