It's almost certainly a registry issue. I had the same on my Prophet.
Using any registry editor (I use Total Commander) go to HKCU\\System\\State\\Messages\\VMail\\Total\\Unread and set the "count" value to 0.

After set count value to 0, he phone immediately sent me a reminder: ' you got a voice mail'.....
I restarted the phone, the voicemail was still there. I checked the count value, it is 0....not working....

Thunderbolt not making outgoing calls! Called Verizon already...

After last night of being on the phone with a regular tech, then a "4g tech" for just over an hour, and them telling me to pull my battery and do restarts, they were unable to help me get my phone to make calls out... Every time I call out it saysyour mobile number is either not active or invalid
I was speaking to them on my DX the whole time (separate acct altogether)
and they said "Okay sir we will call you back in an hour to see if the service issue has been resolved." And they never called back... I really don't want to sit on the phone for that long again, to not be helped.
Side-note: my phone's email is pushing on a regular basis and I am able to use internet access.... oh AND I called my Tbolt and it went right to voicemail (from DX) and then the Thunderbolt even acknowleged I had one new Voicemail...
I am unrooted, if I do a Factory Reset, this will be like the 8th one since I got the phone lol.... will this help??

You could go into the secret menu (*#*#4636#*#* then 'Phone Info') and put it in 'CDMA Only' mode and see if you calls get through.
If not, keep your phone turned off for about 30 minutes to see if that helps.

Thank you for replying.
I just got home from work and still the same issues, I'll try this right now!

I would also try taking out the sim card and turning the phone on without it for 5 minutes then shut off & put it back in and restart.
Do not use *228 option it wont work...

Weird Network/Airplane Mode Issue

A couple of times now, when I'm out and about I lose my cellular data connection. It just stops working. In the past on other devices when this has happened a reboot will usually fix it. But on my Atrix 2, when I reboot the phone comes one with Airplane Mode enabled (please note that I did not turn on Airplane mode). If I try to turn Airplane Mode off, it will just sit and say "Enabling wireless connections" but never actually turn them on. I have to actually do a battery pull to fix this problem. The first time it happened I went and got a new SIM card (as mine was pretty old), and it just happened to me again this afternoon. I'm past my 30 day return policy (bought the phone at Best Buy) so I can't return it.
Has anyone else experienced this problem? Anyone have any ideas on what might be causing this?
Just to reiterate, I did not turn on Airplane Mode, the phone powers on with it enabled and then won't actually turn off Airplane Mode when I tell it to.

i have the same problem too. After it happens couple times, i find out it might be the problem from the at&t address book issue which cause the phone cant read the sim for some reason (as it result, airplane mode keep enable). I also believe it is because the phone has been unlocked so the at&t address book crash. Is your phone unlocked?
Well, i am not quite sure it work on ur phone, but here is how i do it usually.
Way 1- plugin another sim card(sometimes i dun even need to do it), load the at&t address book, it will force the phone to load sim card cause of the contact from sim (then it should work right after that or after reboot)
Way 2- pull the battery for 1 day, it will work after that(but this is kinda dumb)
Hope this can help you XD.

My phone is not unlocked. I could see the AT&T Address book thing contributing, I've NEVER had that thing work right, and thus I don't even have it set up on my phone (it's on there in my Accounts, but it's not configured that I know of because i do my contact syncing through Google).
Battery pull definitely solves the problem, at least temporarily. The only other SIM I have is the old one they took out when they replaced the SIM after this happened the first time. I also don't store any contacts on my sim (again use google for that), so I don't know if doing a SIM swap would solve the problem in a more permanent way since I've basically already done that.

I tried battery pull, but it doesn't work sometimes. The reason i run at&t address book because it would force the phone to detect the sim again(cause of the contact). Lucky it doesn't always happen. hoping Motorola can fix this issue on next update.
**I just think about it, it might be some stupid mistake from motorola that overwrite the memory about the phone status section.

have you guys tried factory resetting it?

I tried to reset but it doesn't help at all
Sent from my MB865 using XDA App

how about freezing or removing the apps from att?

Hmm, I did this just yesterday, I'll give it a week or so and see if the issue happens again after setting my contact storage to my Google account.

ok just inform us what happens.

I have and identical problem.
My phone would turn with the Airplane mode ON and I can't deactivate it, or even if it shows I can, it's not in the menu and I won't get any signal.
I can't recall If it happened because of a change but I doubt so.
I tried factory reset / cache / dalvik, also flashing numerous rom from neutrino to cm7 to cm9 and even MIUI (which worked the first time I flashed it for a day and then same error).
And It will also occasionnaly reboot If I try too hard checking for networks and such.
Any help ?

[Q] [HELP] Heat and signal problems on ZTE V970

Hi to all, I'm writing here because I had my first problems with my v970 (with etotalk rom). This evening I checked my mobile and I found that none of the sim was active (I was not in airplane mode) and I could not activate them, as if they were not in their slots. Meanwhile the upper part of the device began to heat up, so I tought it could be an antenna/receiver problem. I almost forgot to say that I installed Truecaller (deleting Contapps) and updated facebook and few others apps less than one hour before the event, but I already uninstalled them to exclude some of the possible causes. I'll gladly listen to any advice. Thank's in advance. GL

Restart, and see if it continues.

Already tried a lot of times, with or without sim cards. I also noticed an abnormal use of battery.

When did the problem start? What did you do before it started? Does your cellphone always have no signal, or does it come & go (sometimes SIM works, sometimes it doesn't)? Have you checked your APN settings?

The problem started yesterday and I never experimented It till now. As I Said, before I encountered It, I updated some apps from the market and I changed the default caller manager (should I call It in this way?) with Truecaller. I also deleted my sim contacts
. I can't check apn because there are no apns to check (Android shows me the voice "mobile networks" but I can't select it
Update: I tried to restore the original rom, but the problem persists. I also made a check with the recovery, and it shows me that the device cannot detect sim cards. I begin to think that it's an hardware problem (ouch). Am I right?

What did you do in recovery that checks SIM cards? Are you talking about CWM recovery?

Nope, it's the faulty recovery that etotalk sent me with the phone. I would like to install the cwm and flash another rom, but I'll leave that as the last option

If the recovery they sent you is faulty, then what good is it? If there's a custom recovery available for your phone, you might as well go with it, not that it'll solve anything by itself.
You might try inserting some kind of shim along with the SIM card to see if the extra pressure help make contact with the leads. Careful, of course, that whatever you stick in there doesn't stay behind.

I know about the recovery, but I was trying to don't invalidate the warranty (as if I'll ever use it...). Now I'm charging the phone, it's already the third time today...

Aw, heck. If you've got warranty, just send it in.

Yep, I've got warranty, but sending it in China will cost me almost as much as buying a new one

Ok, I flashed a recovery and a custom rom, but nothing happened.The signal is still absent and the antenna heats up the same way as before. I tried to enter engineer mode and it shows me messages as "com.android.internal.telephony.CommandExcepti on: RADIO_NOT_AVAILABLE", "3G off. Cannot set", ecc... It also shows me "invalid IMEI" if I try to look at it and I cannot change it back with the AT +EGMR command (it says "Radio on" and "SIM State: ABSENT", altough the SIM card is in its slot).

I think you have to crack the case.

Hmmm... if your phone is reporting invalid IMEI numbers then I would try first to get that working as it should. Read this tutorial and re-write your IMEI numbers.
Then I would try the latest stock ROM, which is available on ZTE support website. Here is the direct link to the ROM.
If your phone still doesn't work after that, then I'm afraid you have a hardware problem.

I have had the telephone for more than one month with no problem. Trying every ROM made by Bruno with no problem at all with signal, but...
About 4 days ago, I started suffering exactly the same problems stated by ArcheoGian. I have tried everything (installing older Roms, rebooting, changing SIMs from 1 to 2, etc.) but unfortunately with no success. I just have to try to install the original ROM, but I supose it will be the same.
Afer a few reboots, I can make the telephone to search for a network, it founds it, it connects, it transfers data, I can make calls, but ramdomly (can be after 30 seconds, 30 minutes or maximum one hour) it disconnects and the red X of death (Xbox 360 times ) appears on top of the screen.
I can try to go and return from airplane mode, or search for networks that it won't re-connect.
I fear it can become a typical problem for this phone.
I am "delighted" to send it back to China and wait for two months to get it back (after explaining it to the seller and so on). Fingers crossed

@prinxo: did you buy it from eto...k? (I don't know if I can write the entire name of the seller)
Update: I tried everything it was told me (except to crack the case, at least not yet...), my last hope is to manually insert the IMEIs inside the data folder. There's just one problem: none of the methods suggested in the link posted by bcgngm works on my phone, so I need to generate the IMEIs whit my pc (I couldn't open the exe with windows 7, I'll try with win xp in a while, otherwise I have to ask someone to create it for me).

No, I bought it from another seller at Aliexpress.
As I thought: I tried to re-install an original ROM, and everything remains the same. I thought I was successfull but after one hour the phone disconnected itself from the network. After that moment, I need about 3 re-boots to get signal again and it lasts for just a few minutes.
At this point, I would disregard a software problem.
Happy happy to have to send it back to China.

Why do you say it is not working? My preferred method is to use the adb commands (and for that you have to install Android SDK). Don't forget that when you type the commands there is no output message on the screen. The phone has to be restarted so that changes take effect.

The third and the fourth ones are the only methods to restore IMEI I didn't try, just because I never used sdk and adb (and I'm not sure to be able to use them). I followed the others options (I also created the IMEI file with the russian program), but it continues to show me the "invalid IMEI" message. Can you help me, maybe showing me a good walkthrough?

APN Settings with T-Mobile

Hello Experts
Just received my brand new Xperia XZ Premium international Dual sim on Sunday. I've been with Sprint for twenty years but wanted this phone badly and stepped into a T-Mobile store today.
They inserted SIM card in slot one and proceeded to activate phone. Everything seems to be there under access point except the enable/disable is grayed out even though is says APN enabled.
I contacted seller through Amazon and they said to do a factory reset. I have four times. What am I doing wrong?? Does the SIM card be active before placing it in SIM tray??

Um... Where exactly do you see "enable/disable" under APN settings?

Under Access Point Names

You might have to activate the SIM first. Make sure you select "LTE preferred" and when you search for service providers it should automatically choose T Mobile, if not, manually select it. It should also populate the APN settings automatically, but you can enter them manually. Check here:

Sim Card Working
Yes that was it. The Sim card must be activated first. You would have thought the genius at T-Mobile would have known this. All is well thank you experts. One more thing I updated the phone with the new Oreo and now every time I DL an app from The Play Store it crashes with message com.android. phone has stopped. Then it asks to close the app and takes me out and I have to finger print my way back in. The apps are downloading but this is getting tiresome. I've already factory reset twice so please don't ask me to do that again lol! Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I have the International dual Sim model 8142

Go to apps . Open phone and push on the three dots on top right . Select voicemail and turn off visual voicemail. Now you should be good. Worked for me

You may want to get the Apn automatically then change the apn type to blank (don't fill in) and the apn protocol to ipv4/ipv6. I had an issue with hotspot until I changed those. The automatic update isn't accurate.

Can anyone assist? I have the international dual sim xperia xz premium. I had been set up an working fine on the T-Mobile network. Fingerprint scanner was working. Everything was working fine. Then problems arose. The phone starting having horrendous signal issues. When you made and received phone calls, you could not hear the other person well at all (to the point people would hang up in frustration). No matter who I call this was happening. I thought it might be a sim issue. I put that same sim in a nexus 6p, and had no problems. I tried factory reset a couple times on the xperia and nothing has helped. Another thing i noted, is there is nothing under APN settings. I alerted T-Mobile of this and they put the settings in, but they dont seem to stick (save). At this point my xperia is an xpensive paper weight. Can anyone guide me in the correct direction. Really in need of help. Everyone has been hounding me to jump to iphone because of this. Not giving up yet.
