[BUG] Missed calls anyone?

This happen to anyone? This isn't the first time this has happened. Phone doesn't ring, and of course I don't get a missed call. I am in a full reception area so it cant be a loss of signal.
Thanks
Rob

Could you give more specifics? Were your bars green or grey? Were you on a stock rom? Are you rooted?

Me too
I also loose the few calls that I get. first I thought it was because it was on vibrate but then i put it on sound and I was just holding the phone with the home screen showing and it just flashes the incoming call and when i tried to answer it said: missed call in the notification area.
I guess being pure google has its disadvantages.

Phone (sometimes) doesn't ring, goes right to VM...
This past few days, my phone has started to skip ringing and goes right to VM. This has happened 3 times now, I'll be sitting right next to my phone - look down and see that I have a VM - and the phone never rang!
I called the caller(s) back, and they said it only rang 1 time on their end, or not at all - and then went straight to VM for them. The same effect that would happen, if I had my phone off, which wasn't the case in any of the 3 times this occurred.
Just wondered if anyone here has experienced the same thing? This isn't happening on every call that comes in, but has happened 3 times (too many) so far out of the blue this past few days.

I've seen this on my Nexus S as well. I never had any issue like this with my Nexus One. I do wonder if this is an issue within Gingerbread or the Nexus S.

You're not alone -this doesn't happen frequently, but when it does it's annoying.

Oops! Sorry, I did a search here in "General" and this topic didn't come up. I didn't think to search in Q & A, as I thought bugs were all here in General.
My apologies, as I know to ALWAYS do a search before posting. Mod; feel free to merge my thread, if need be - thank you.

are you possibly connected to EDGE when this happens? if so it could just be in an active data transfer which would block ou tht eincoming call to voicemail..

simply weird

i just had that happened to me yesterday.
i can't explain why
and to be worse, it was myself calling myself using another cell phone from another provider, cuz .... i was hoping to easily save the new number into my address book, without having to type everything in.
so i then tried calling myself again the 2nd time, and then it worked.
the SNS was in full bars, good reception, not lagging, responding to screen selection and everything in a speedy manner.
so i have completely no clue, why the first call did not ever reach the phone.
after 4 rings (that never arrived) it send the other phone i was using to the voice mail.

you guys are connected to 3g and not EDGE when this happens right?

I don't think so, as I rarely drop to EDGE. But I guess it's hard to be 100% certain of this, since my screen isn't on at the time a call comes in.
However, as soon as I see that I have a VM (via No LED), I turn on my screen, and it's not in EDGE - but this is not to say, that perhaps it wasn't in EDGE status a min or 2 before the VM came in. So who knows...

I thought this was GVoice...
I had problems on my Galaxy S, too. I assumed it was GVoice, but since the latest OTA, it seems my network connectivity has become REALLY flaky anyway (disconnecting, dropping to EDGE, complaining there is no SIM card!) - and I didn't even put a custom ROM on there! I think this will be my last Samsung. HTC dual-core, baby.

I am on EDGE all the time because of AT&T provider.
My guess is that Google voice servers are having heavy traffic forwarding to a phone. Not to mention if you have more than one, half would ring and the ones that do just for about 2 rings.
I appreciate Google trying to make it a carrier-like experience but we would not have that experience with VOIP just yet.

i'm always on 3G
good signal all around the areas i go to, including basement levels on Pickering, Scarborough, Markham, North York, Vaughan, and Richmond Hill areas, including Mississauga & Brampton
i don't frequent much the core zones like Toronto & Etobicoke, not car friendly

Only on 3g. Happens a decent amount. I've been on wifi this last time as well.
Sent from my Nexus S using Tapatalk

it happened again
this time i had to reboot the phone, shutdown, then turn it back on
after the reboot everything worked
but before the reboot, i was still on 3G, had data access, but all voice calls got a message saying "this customer is currently unreachable, please call back again" or message of that sort, or goes to voice mail
i was unable to make outgoing calls too, i was only able to make outgoing calls after the reboot
good thing it was not an emergency situation

Is only through google voice?
man I really want this phone but I can't miss calls because of my job.

I don't think so

for me it was, regular At&t line on edge. Google voice number to ring on VOIP number on WIFI.
So I don't think is the kind of connection. The Nexus S is too busy to take the calls doing something else???
I had to reboot my phone like 4 times in order for me to get calls.

Not for me. I use Google voice, but really only for it's voicemail

This is pathethic - new issues with V21E that didn't exist in Froyo!

I upgraded using the LG tool and everything went fine. Setup the ROM from scratch and all was well but then I kept having these issues so I shelved the G2X and went back to Sensation UNTIL T-mobile released what I thought would be a newer official build.
The fact that they are putting out V21E as the official GB build is downright sad and pathetic. After many months of promising an update they can't even get a release out there that's not busted. I know it is possible but it seems only HTC and perhaps Samsung know how to write software...my old Droid Incredible, friends Evo 4G and now Sensation are rock solid and everything just works. Samsung Nexus S and Galaxy variants also just mainly work.
I had these issues for the 24 hours I used the G2X with V21E - I got fed up and stopped using it but I'm sure there are others.
- Several times phone rang/vibrated due to incoming call so I answered the call which worked BUT the phone kept vibrating like it was still ringing even while I'm talking to the other person. Only solution is to hang up call and call back. Doesn't happen every time but happened quite often.
- Bluetooth is buggy as hell. Sometimes a device that's paired won't connect unless I powercycle the BT on the phone.
-- I was listening to music once with A2DP headset and a call came in. I answered the call and everything was great. I hung up the call and now no BT audio would come through the headset or even the phone speaker no matter what I did. Turn off BT/turn on, etc. Only solution was to powercycle
--Later on was using the phone, connected my paired A2DP headset to the G2X and almost instantly the phone screen turned off and it locked up. Had to pull the battery
- Weird issue with apps like (edit: Google's podcast app not HTC) Listen. Will play for a while and then all of a sudden stop playing and nothing I can do will get it to play again unless I uninstall/reinstall the app. Never happened on Froyo or CM7.
- Gets very warm - battery app showed the temp being well over 35 degrees celcius most times I looked and I wasn't even using the phone much.
- Was using the Google reader to read articles and all of a sudden the phone started slowing down and then it just froze with the screen on. Nothing I did would get a response from it. Power + vol up didn't work. had to pull the battery.
I mean this is freaking ridiculous. I have the Sensation setup with the exact same apps, launcher, settings, everything and I have ZERO issues. This is simply crappy software and LG should be ashamed.
FWIW, CM7 latest nightlies I never had ANY of these problems but A2DP doesn't work on CM7 so can't use it daily. Once A2DP starts working on CM7 I might give it another shot.
I'm definitely done with LG for a while.

Weird, I had reboots and SOD problems in Froyo but otherwise I had NO other issues in Froyo - when the phone wasn't rebooting or turned off it worked perfectly. This GB build has way more problems for me than Froyo.

Solid here..... Not a bad update imo

Same here I haven't experienced any of these problems, not even in Frito either. The update overall has done it all for me. I would try reinstalling the update again if I were you

I did, note how I said I set it up from scratch. There is BOUND to be issues with this because the kernel is the same as froyo - many of the problems were caused by the kernel and since that hasn't changed, how would the issues be fixed? CM7 might fix issues because it's a different kernel.

My phone is now freezing up!!! WTH! Three times since the update in less than 12 hours. I wanted to call Tmobile customer service to cancel my Value Plan i switched to a day earlier but couldn't. I had to remove the battery and reset the phone before making my call.
I told them I didn't want to spend $200 for the migration fee and then be stuck in a new 2 year contract with this G2X phone and pay a $200 if I leave that Value Plan contract or spend full price on a phone to replace this junk. I went back to my 1500 mins, unlim text, 5 gb data for $79.99 plus %15 discount on that. The person I spoke with was surprised this new update was having issues. She knew this phone had bugs because her friend had this phone. She also knew they took it off their website and just brought it back with Gingerbread.
She said she will make a note in my account to give me a full upgrade credit because I am on my second phone and I told her that I was going to leave to Sprint! Hopefully my phone wont cause me to smash it before the Samsung Hercules comes out on Sept 26.

Looks like I'm not the only one.

I just got T-Mobile to send me a replacement G2X on Thursday so will see if I have same issues. At this point I truly believe I have a hardware issue.

I can't help to think that theres some app people are installing that's causing some of these issues. My phone has been perfect in operation, but froyo was great too.
People need to understand that the tegra 2 has some compatibility issues as well with some apps.
Uninstall everything 3rd party, use the phone for a day and see what probs you have.

I've had issues after a factory reset and not installing anything. Further I'm not keeping a phone that limits the apps I can install. I've got the same exact set of apps on my Sensation and it works perfectly. Its not like I have a ton of apps either, just the ones I need.

No problems so far. I love GB. My bluetooth now syncs with my radio which it wasn't doing with Froyo.

i've had none of these issues. i have had issues like this in the past with a bad flash.

Well I'm getting a replacement G2X that either will come with the update (doubt it) or I'll use OTA to get the update so if after that it doesn't work. I give up.

OK.
I hope you have better luck with your new phone. The Sensation is a piece of garbage according to many. It is all up to luck apparently. It is weird how some have no issues and some have continual issues.

I'm starting to think I have bad hardware too, I'm having more problems with GB than I did with Froyo!
What did you tell them to get a warranty exchange? I was thinking of calling and just overwhelming them with info.
Just worried the replacement device could be worse!

I can't adjust the damn touch key brightness. It is making me crazy. Also the screen is not as responsive as it was with Froyo.
and of course the battery still sucks, but apparently android is a flawed system that just sucks battery for no reason at all. I hope the google/android folks get their stuff together one of these days. I really miss my HD2 battery life. You would think a bigger battery and newer operating system would be more efficient, but crappy battery life seems to be the norm. The tmobile guber that sold me my phones assured me I would get the same life out of the battery, but he was very wrong.

They make you go through troubleshooting so I just answered their questions and she said, fine we'll send you a replacement. Just tell them you have a G2X that has been rebooting/turning off and that even after the update it still happens. That's what I did.

Nope you're not the only one. My G2x today decided for the first time to freeze while I was using it. Plus with this update I get less signal than I had before.
This phone and how tmobile handled it in my situation left a foul taste in my mouth forcing me to switch to Sprint and the HTC EVO 4G. So far its been a happy switch, my phone hasn't locked up, no reboots, doesn't overheat and battery lasted me about 30 hours with moderate use (web browsing for about 30mins, 1hr phone call, and about 2hrs overall on xda) also had WiFi on plus Bluetooth.
Sadly I lost 4G data since Sprint doesn't have any 4G towers in my area yet. But @ $110 a month for unlimited everything and no data throttling it was a good move, plus nice to have signal while at home. WiFi calling worked whenever it felt like so it was no more reliable than plain cell service.

[Q] Microcell?

Is anyone else using their infuse with an ATT Microcell? If so what kind of issues are you having if any. I cannot run any modem besides the two stock Froyo modems.... Any other modems cause several issues. One issue is that sms and mms messages fail at a rate of around 65% . They simply dont send...With or Without WIFI on ..Same result. Another issue is that the sound quality is deminished to an unusable level.
I have seen several other posts about the MIcrocell but none of them have produced a good result. I would love to someday be able to run a custom ROM...But if the trade is the aformentioned issues, it isnt worth it.
Thanks in advance for any advice.

I use a Microcell and I do not have any problems. I use Google Voice for texting so I have no experience with messaging through the carrier.

LOL.. No way I am moving for signal. This place is too perfect. I am jumping to the note soon if I don't get a fix. Crossing fingers it wont have the same issue.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using XDA App

lol ..the move was just coincidental

So ... I thought I would be an informed man if I went over to the Galaxy Note forum and post my Microcell question. I asked if anyone was having the issues that my fellow Infuse owners are experiencing with their Microcell and the G-Note.
After not getting a response and over 50 people had looked at the thread ... someone finally responded. I will some up what they said.
The ATT version isn't out yet. No one can answer this question. I immediately felt noobish and dumb.
So after my posts here about the Microcell ... I still have no fix. And after my post over at the g-note o feel stupid. No winning for me in either case. Mom and Dad both denied my requests.
On a separate note: I went my the ATT store in Marion IL. I asked the salesman when they would have a G-Note in stock... he replied " oh! You mean the Phablet ?" . I almost threw up. Is anyone actually using that term? I see the logic in the term but just saying it out loud makes that beast of a phone sound like wuss that gets picked last when choosing last for a kick ball game!
Way to wuss it up ATT.
Just my 2¢

I have had an Infuse since June and relied on a M-Cell until recently. In as short of an answer as possible the M-Cell does not work well with 4G phones especially the Infuse. SMS are sent over data signals and that is where the bottleneck is. Get used to it, my texts would fail 50-80 percent of the time and I lost about half of my calls in under 15 minutes.
FYI: I called AT&T and demanded a refund for the M-Cell as it was causing my reception issues, after the unhook my phone is tolerable though not perfect. I received a $165 credit on my bill and then sold the M-Cell on ebay.

I am very happy that you have signal without your mcell. I however have no choice. We have 3 4g phones and only the infuse has this issue. The other disturbing fact is that I don't have the issue with Froyo. By deduction I am left to assume that the issue is the radio.

you must learn the way of the "unsatisfied customer"!!!

I have microcell at my home, i got from ATT for free when I have signal issue with my iPhone. After getting infuse, i didnt had any issues in terms of data. I never use SMS so i dont know about it.
But when I use micro cell, my batter drains too fast. so now i stopped using microcell, and now I have better signal in my home.

I had the same issues with stock Froyo, Infused 2.2.3, and stock GB, this of course does not disprove your theory as there are different modems. I just saw a lack of usability across 3 builds and gave up on the gadget and got my money back.
What I don't get is that my phone always showed 5 bars, so I infer the gremlin is not the radio, but some failure between the devices to handshake properly and this borks up the whole affair. Who knows though your theory is as valid as mine.
Just my $.02

I had this same issue when I had my infuse. It drove me bonkers so I finally sold the infuse and bought the sgs2 international version. It works perfectly with the M-Cell so maybe the note will too. Hope that's at least a little help.

Got microcell free also have horrible battery drain, have to resend sms atleast 10 times for it to go out, same with inbound SMS most of the time won't get them until I walk outside and disconnect from mcell then 5 or 6 will sms will come in at once, while my girls iPhone 4 sends/recieves texts fine over mcell

Data connectivity issues?

Anyone else having connectivity issues with their one x? If the phone loses connection for any length of time, it will not reconnect and I'll have to reboot the phone for the mobile network to reconnect, which is probably every 15 minutes or so in my case.
I skimmed a couple pages, couldn't find anything, but I've found a couple other forums with people posting about this issue.
Hoping there's a fix for this as every ATT store within 50 miles is out of stock on both colors and customer care won't do a damn thing for me but tell me "go back to the store." Bull**** if you ask me, broken ass phone and I'm stuck with it. Really?
I was hoping there was a fix, even if I have to unlock the bootloader and root.

Did you try messing with the sim card? Make sure it is inserted properly. This worked for me when my data was dropping out. Now the phone is on constant LTE.

THis just happened to me. Any length of time on data loss and the phone needs a reboot or airplane mode toggle. This is the worst bug to me. I'm praying an ota for this issue drops real soon. I understand signal drops, there is no way to avoid spotty coverage. But u shouldn't have to reboot or go in to airplane mode to pick up data again.
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA

Airplane mode doesn't even work for me..... I have to hard reboot the phone, do you know how annoying that is? it's gotten to the point where I have to turn off data connection when im not using it, and turn it back on when I need it.
Problem is for work I use GPS a lot, and when it loses service im supposed to reboot my phone while driving and lose my path? Worst bug EVER. I dont have any of these multitasking issues at least.
I wish I could just go get a new phone, but I can't. Thanks apple, assholes. I'm so mad.

Don't get your hopes up, I had this exact problem except not only would data stop working, so would text and phone calls.
AT&T replaced my SIM card but didn't fix the issue. Had to end up taking the phone back and got a new one. So far so good, but it has only been 1 day with the new one.

I didn't have any issues since release day but noticed I had no connection all day, even after multiple restarts. I took it to Att and they replaced the sim. It's been fine the rest of the day but we'll see. Also I'm in Chicago and blaming anything weird on the NATO conference.
*edit*
After posting this, I lost all connectivity. Turned on airplane mode and off and was back. Weak.

Maybe something is up today? My phone lost ALL connection for an hour. A straight hour, I did 3 reboots and toggled airplane mode multiple times. As soon as I got home and connected to wifi it came up again, then went back off. Had to restarted for a 4th or 5th time then it finally restored. It was pretty damn annoying.

Funny u guys mention today specifically. Share what happened mine was between noon n 1pm est.

Maybe it was something with AT&T.. Almost lasted long enough for me to return it >_> But then I remembered that there might be hope for dev's to unlock the BL. I would hate myself if I returned this phone for a 4S and then this was unlocked.

So I had to make a 70 mile round trip to get a new phone, that was the nearest store that had one in stock. I'm going on a few hours now with no interruption, and I'm much, much more happy. It was obviously the phone since this one is perfect. I'd say if you guys are having issues, replace it. Bastard tried to charge me a restocking fee at first though, but I lol'd in his face til he waived it.

So I had to make a 70 mile round trip to get a new phone, that was the nearest store that had one in stock. I'm going on a few hours now with no interruption, and I'm much, much more happy. It was obviously the phone since this one is perfect. I'd say if you guys are having issues, replace it. Bastard tried to charge me a restocking fee at first though, but I lol'd in his face til he waived it.

From the minute I got the phone it was having this issue. I literally had to reboot the phone every time I wanted to use data. Today when I exchanged it (about 36 hours later and 40 miles from my home network), it did it right as I gave them the phone for the exchange (which was good cause they couldn't question the issue), so unless they fixed the network within the 10 minutes I took to swap the phone out, which is highly unlikely, it was the phone. Same sim and everything, just a new phone, going on 5 hours now and not a problem.
I think it's safe to say I had a faulty phone, but well see.

Will do, I will report back tomorrow again, if I haven't had an issue by then, I'd say you guys should start thinking about swaps. I'm in love with this phone otherwise.

My downtime was around 12-2ish. Seems fine tonight.

Just an update. Couple days now with my replacement phone and I've not had a single issue. Never loses connection and I don't have a single multitasking issue either. I'm now in love with this phone, hands down the best phone I've owned yet, and my recent list is evo, evo 3d, epic 4g touch, skyrocket and now this badboy. I don't even care if they unlock the boot loader, this phone doesn't need it.
Actually my one gripe is that quite often I don't get facebook chat notifications. I have to check manually in the app. Not terrible. But kind of annoying.

T-Mobile Text Messages Not Working

Bought the Z3 on 11/11/14, was working fin until the 13. Text messages will say "sending" and I will not be able to receive any messages. Was on the phone with T-Mobile tech support for over 2 hours troubleshooting, no luck. Went back to the store, got a new sim card, and exchanged for a new phone, working fine until the next day (today).
This is my second z3, used multiple sim cards, did factory reset, nothing works text messages still will not receive or send. Salesman told me I can switch phones to anything else. What should I do?
Extremely disappointed in Sony. I believe this is a phone error as I had a Galaxy S3 with tmobile since 2012 with no issues.

I haven't had any problems with mine from T-Mobile. Does it work on WiFi calling? I really don't think it's the phone..

right, and the tech support rep said no issues have been reported with sony. I don't understand what the problem is then? I created a ticket with t-mobile engineering, hopefully that resolves the problem. If not, I'm jumping back to the S3

Strange... I've never experienced anything like this on any of my phone. (When I have service)
Phone calls work?

phone calls and data work fine. just text/picture messaged are extremely delayed, or non functional.
could any of my downloaded apps be corrupting the sms service?
I didn't even get a chance to root yet...

I'm not sure how an app could corrupt anything... Especially without root.
Do you still have the S3? Pop your sim in and try and text.

can't do that....z3 has nano sim, s3 has micro sim. I actually do not have a phone with nano sim besides the z3

Ahh.. My bad.
Short of factory resetting, which you already did, I have no clue.
Messaging is your default app right?

yes, but the problem continued on hangouts. I was just on the phone with tmobile tech, and she sent me a picture message, and it took over 30 minutes to receive. I sent a message to myself at 9am cst, and still haven't received.

It happens to me every once and a while, it happen yesterday but all I do is a soft reset.. Then it's sends the text..
If I had to guess it might be a fluke thing or maybe something to do with having stamina mode on but since I get incredible battery ? results it worth the hassle ..
Also I have done a factory reset and use the new Sim that came with the phone ..But it still happens ,I know it does because I get the did not send Error message ..
But for me personally it happens like maybe once or twice a week ..
Hey no phone is perfect but this Phone is so close to it with,whatever shortcomings it might have..

I never get the "send error" message, and I do not have stamina mode on. This is an amazing phone, no doubt about it, but I may be experiencing a bad batch or something.
This is not an intermittent issue, it is constant and never ending. My 2 Z3's have been far from perfect, and cannot handle the simple task of sending sms. Also the phone has rebooted by itself a couple times already. Sadly, I'll have to return it or wait for the tmobile engineering decision.

What apps do you have installed? My phone has rebooted/froze/force closed at all.

about 40 random ones from the store. actually, I tried to take a picture from the messaging app and it froze. I think the messaging failure is corrupting other processes on the phone, it gets really hot

If it's getting hot there must be an app stuck trying to do something, check and see what app(s) are using a lot of the battery, GSam works pretty well. Then uninstall/disable it

Me too
I've got the same issue, every so often my phone fails to send a text. It happens at least twice a day. First I thought it was Hangouts, so I disabled the SMS setting on it, and used the stock app, but it's doing the same thing. Sometimes I will retry three or four times with no success. I'm usually able to resend after waiting a few minutes.
I'm not on wifi, I don't use wifi calling. I have great signal strength, and mobile data is working, so I'm not sure why my messages won't send...
I'd also like to note, I came from a Nexus 4, NEVER had an issue with texts not going through... so I really don't think it's T-Mobile...

good point. had that app installed on my s3, just haven't downloaded it yet due to all the resetting. will download now and see the problem. do you think the tmobile ticket will do anything? Just called the salesman and he said it will do nothing, come and return the phone or swap to something else.

Yes same exact problem. It must be something weird on the phone that we need to configure. Maybe tmobile can adjust on their end. Yourr the only one in the USA to agree with me and this problem with the z3.

No clue, I've never dealt with T-Mobile support. Although my general consensus with carrier stores, is that the employee's are generally brain dead and just trying to get their commission on device/plan sales. (Does not apply to all of them) Most just have no idea what they are selling.
However, you definitely have an app doing something in the background. The only time my phone gets hot is while charging and using it, or doing something that stresses the processor. (4K Video/Games...etc.)

I'll keep that in mind. Can't download apps now! Lol! Just tried to download the gsam app via network and via wifi and it just stays stuck. I'm done, there's no way this phone will last 2 years like the s3
