[Q] Nexus S Random call problems - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi to all,
I have a ramdom problem with my Nexus S. Sometimes, when I try to make a call, the phone seems to work well but the call fails. The screen remains as if trying to establish the call but this is not done.
I think that the problem is only to make calls but I can receive it without problems.
When the error ocurs, is needed to stop the data conection (eg APNDroid) and then the Nexus works again... till the next error. I have this problem the 30% of the times (more or less).
I asked in spanish forums and a lot of people has the same problem.
Is this a known bug?... and the solution?.
I have the low signal problem too?.
I'm sorry to say that bus this is my 3rd Android phone (the first official google) and is the worst that I never had!!!.
Please, help!!!!

I had the same problem too....
Any help?

Hi,
Are you stock or rooted?
If rooted, what ROM?
When did the problem start?
When was the last time you updated your PRL or your phone profile?
The more info the better everyone on these forums can help.
Good luck

Well ID first update profile & PRL. Im not sure which ROM has that option. Some do some don't. Just go to settings/about phone and tap the tab that gives the option.
If not then flash back to ur original ROM if u have it to do the above.
If that doesn't work maybe try to see if its an app that is causing it. Just flash a ROM but do not add anything to it. Make the calls to check it.
I'm on Slimbean and I have no issues if u want to try that ROM.
Good luck

Something wrong with my phone.

OK so it seems my phone has an issue with any rom other than stock as I have tried them all and I have 3 things that happen: a. Phone will reboot on its on or b. The screen will go black with the buttons lit up. Or c. It will freeze on me. This is any rom other than bone stock. Any one know what could be the cause of this?

okay , your phone looks like hard to use.
what version/model is it ? is it possible you flashed GSM ROM to 4G Nexus S ? or 4G ROM to GSM ?
okay , your operator is AT&T , forget it ... it wouldn't be 4G
orginal MIUI and orginal CM7 , all the same ?
I haven't tried any miui roms but every rom I have tried has been for 9020s. I have tried bugles beast, NSCollab, oxygen, we scream for ice cream (which I fully expect to have issues but could not resist trying) , blanddroid, and nexusMV all with the same issue. I even tried several different kernels to see if that would make a difference but it didn't
Sent from my Nexus S using Tapatalk
There's a low chance your cpu can't take any voltages/frequencies outside stock kernel range. Because that black display/lit buttons thingy happens to me if I go too low on voltages or freq.
What are the stock voltage rages? So I can try that theory out?

Nexus has model of 9020S ??
i only heard about 9020A,F,T and 9023
default MIUI doesn't over/underclock or UV
To further update today I have been running a stock 2.3.7 rom made by drew garen that has been running well with no reboots, freezes or anything but again it is stock with the exception of being rooted and 2.3.7 instead 2.3.4 like my stock rom and the only reason I am running it instead of my actual stock one is for google wallet.

Nah, NS4G is running 2.3.7 as it includes the required NFC chip update to run Google wallet.
OK so even with that rom it has been acting stupid though not as bad then I went to my stock rom and again the same thing so I think I am just going to unroot and take it to best buy because I am pretty sure it is not supposed to have this much trouble
Sent from my Nexus S using Tapatalk
Well I am completely stock and unrooted now and so far no problems so my question would now be did I just have a bad root or something? Should I retry rooting now that its back to original or should I take it to best buy and try to get them to replace it? I really like playing with rooted phones and trying different roms and stuff but it is kinda impractical when my phone won't handle it...that's why I am wondering if I had done something wrong maybe?
Sent from my Nexus S using Tapatalk
I have the NS4G but I've never had those issues on any ROM
Well after being unrooted since yesterday I am now no longer getting any freezes, black screens, or reboots. My question now is, did I possibly do something wrong in the root process that might have caused this problem?

Did you try re-rooting it?

I did just now using different more up to date rooting kit files then the ones I used before. I am going to stick with the stock rom for the rest of the day just rooted and see if the problem happens and then if it doesn't do like this then I may try running a custom rom and if this does not work I will unroot it again and throw the phone against a brick repeatedly so best buy will take the thing back as I tried taking it back today and i couldn't come up with a good enough reason for them too take it back it seems.
OK update time. Running stock rooted after unrooting and rooting (using a different root kit this time) I am having no issues what so ever and I even tried taxing the CPU by running app after app ran some heavy games and things of that nature with no restarts or freezes, however I tried NSCollab for a little while and it did act up though not as bad as before so I have gone back to stock rooted and everything is fine for now. I may try some other rom later but for now I am happy just to be rooted with no issues with the stock rom. I might try a less modded rom like buggles beast or oxygen net go round though other than not having the notification Widgets and reboot/recovery option when pressing the power button stock rooted does everything I want it too.

I think that problem could be kernel. Have you tried any customer kernels? Previously I had freeze issues and this so called 'morning coma', kernel fixed all those problems
while that could be the issue with that rom I think I have discovered my real problem could be something to do with titanium backup, either the program its self or one of my backed up apps. this morning on my stock rom it rebooted twice so I got to thinking and decided to do a wipe but instead of restoring my apps from titanium back up I just used the market website to send all of my apps to my phone and so far that seems to have fixed the issue. the only apps i did not re-install was amazon appstore (and a few games from there) rom manager, and titanium backup so I am assuming my problem is contained in one of those apps if I am no longer having the problem.
With titanium do you you just back up apps and app data? Or system data too?

[Q] F1 Nexus rom freezing on my I9100

Hi everyone,
I have been using the F1 Galaxy nexus rom on my Galaxy s2 and have had a problem with it freezing on me a couple of times.
Today I finished making a Skype call and the phone froze as I tried to pull down the notification bar. It just sort of hung halfway down. After that it pretty much froze up apart from the fact that I was able to power off using the power button.
I am wondering if I have the right Clockworkmod recovery on my phone. I installed recently CF-Root XX_XEO-LPQ v5.4 as previously I tried out the official samsung Ics ROM XX_LPQ.
After this I flashed the nexus f1 rom using the same version of clockworkmod.
Can anyone advise me if this is the correct one to use to flash the nexus f1 rom or is there another version that is more compatible with this rom. I have read that you need the correct kenel to match your phone's firmware and that certain kernels down't work with certain roms.
Please excuse my general ignorance. I have tried searching for an answer on the forum but couldn't find what I was looking for
I have included a screenshot of my phone's settings if that helps
Just a quick question, did you factory reset after flashing?
Yes I did a clean wipe and factory reset before flashing the F1 From. To be honest 99 per cent of the time it runs just great. But it does have the occasional freeze

I don't know what to say then. It is recommended to factory-reset after flashing new roms, and I would suggest you to do this if you haven't.
Anyway you can ask in the SGS2 development forum, I'm sure there is a thread for that ROM, and there might be more people experiencing that issue posting there.
Good luck.

text messaging proble,

i am having problems recieving text messages from a specific phone. i am running JB ROM (fresh install) and my wife has the galaxy nexus (rooted). she can recieve my messages but i can not recieve hers. i tested it out with a different phone and theres no problems there. its just between my phone and her phone. i can sent a recieve from my sisters phone and for her its the same way, but not my phone and my wifes phone, so clearly its a bug with my phone. anyone know anything about this??
Well, first you should try a different rom and see if this happens still. Several questions:
1) How long has this problem been persisting? Since you flashed the JB rom? Since you rooted/unlocked?
2) Did you flash any mods while on this JB rom?
3) Was this an issue on stock, TW?
4) Is this problem isolated to this particular rom? Have you flashed another rom and tested this out?

This just happened and I was on jelly bean Rom and it flashed to beans Rom and still the same thing. Didn't flash mods or kernel our radios. Just a clean install. I can receive messages from other people except my wife's. But doesn't have any problem with her end. So it's clearly my phone.

I'm also on liquid smooth and was experiencing the force closes ,come to find out I was using the wrong gapps , did you edit the build.prop tweaks at all I noticed when I changed the vnheapsize my phone would not sleep and when I hit the power button it would reboot , you may want to do a complete wipe and start over and then run unmodified for a while to see if the problem persists

Hey there, I have a similar issue, also running liquid smooth, where the infuse restarts and boot loops until I press the power button, then it starts up normally.
First I thought it was Pandora because it restarted when pressed on it but it also happens when I just text. It seems random. I have almost no apps installed and performed cache, davlik, data wipes before flashing the Rom.
I have around two reboots a day, and the battery drain it's pretty high, sometime when it restarts from the boot loop I have lost 3 or 4 percent of the battery just by rebooting... any ideas?!

Well the problem is not solved at all, but if has decreased markedly the reboots and the battery drainig problem, edit the file build.crop and place a few tweaks...check the super everything tread, in the mods part, you must search and find some mods tweaks and tutorials to work with
Hey man, I took a risk and sent my phone in to get the power button repaired and voila, after the repair I have not had a single reboot. My phone is around 15 months old and was rebooting more and more frequently. I hope this helps you as well!

[Q] Phone freezing and bootlooping frequently

Hi guys =)
After I unlocked bootloader and flashed a custom Kernel, my phone started freezing and sometimes it gets stuck on a bootloop. I've flashed two custom Kernels and the stock one, but nothing seems to help My phone freezing happens frequently. And I can notice some glitches when listening to music or using Chrome. Sometimes I'm doing nothing and it freezes. After a couple of minutes frozen I can use it again.
Do you have any idea on how to fix it? It's quite annoying if I must say.
Latest firmware btw. Rooted.

If you're using Phantom Kernel, may I suggest you to try version 4.5 like @faizalotai said to me on this. When I was using latest version, my phone freezes every time, but the downgrade solved the problem. You can get the v4.5 from attachments
It's exactly the lastest version I have flashed on my phone. I'll give it a shot. Thanks =D
You can try to use thunder zap kernel too.

I've never used TZ, 'cause I read in other posts that it mess up a bit the modules and kernel files, besides phone's heat up a lot and for some users they can only change kernel after a fresh FTF flash. Is this true?
NO!!

Most certainly no! cos i have flashed phantom and back to TZ and then again to phantom and so on loads of times..
i never had any problems. And everything is working crisply for me. No heating issues, nothing..
Im on CM11. Using TZ 4.1 r-2

Just give it a try and let me know. Use the Voltage table given by him. And soon we will have bluetooth on our devices. Its all set already!
Thanks, @DsvCdsSoftware It worked! No more phone freezing! I also flashed PurePerformances™X, it's just perfect =)
