[Q] SCOM did not let me call 911!!! - Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)

OK so last night, I was at work and I was in a situation in which I had to call the cops and paramedics Every time I'd dial 911 it would quickly hang up right after I'd press the call key.has anyone on this rom tried dialing 911? Probably not but if this is a rom related issue,it needs to get looked into. I love the rom but had to flash unnamed back just to get it to call 911. All of the other numbers I tried calling worked fine, not sure why that one didn't. Thanks.

Sorry to hear about you being in a jam. How long ago did you flash the rom before the situation? I know on a couple of roms where I tried to dial a number or mainly just access my recent call list it would FC on me. After a few bouts (all within a minute or so of fiddling around with it) I finally got it to go through. I'm assuming it's some kind of cache issue.

I downloaded it right after it was released. Everything was working fine. Even the other numbers I tried calling would work. It was just the 911 that would. It would hang up as soon as I'd press the call key to the weird thing is that nothing was force closing.
I tried calling at least 20 times with the same results. I'm just hoping it doesn't happen to anybody else. I'm a security guard and I found a very ill homeless man were I work. I had to get a hold of them you know? They said poor guy would've probably not made it through the night.

This is going to be one of those bugs that is hard to iron out. However I know the vibrant cm roms use to have issues dialing 911. It was finally worked out.

Ill look into this first but it will be hard since ill have to dial 911 to check for sure :/ ill get back at u tonight
if you ain't first you're last

Just tested it and it works so maybe bad download/flash?
Edit: if you can test the error with a logcat since everytime i dial it goes through and if yours doesnt it will help.
if you ain't first you're last

I wouldnt recommend hanging up on 911, that could land you with a fine and/or 3 hots and a cot.
Could a different dialer cause this kind of issue?

I re downloaded the rom and re flashed it. I don't know much about logcats but I'll try to get one.
the problem seems to be fixed now though. I dialed and the call began to go through unlike last night, it just kept saying call ended. I'm just glad it wasn't a rom related issue. Most likely a bad download. Thanks guys.

well hopefull v3 fixes it...if not then oh well, i got a hold of police dispatch number for my city so i can just use that. thanks for the help guys.

Try using the GB Starter pack or Heimdall-ing the KJ6 rom. After, reinstall the S-COM and check if dialing 911 works before restoring any backups you created.

911 problem
That happened with me last night when someone had smashed into our parked car. It would come up "EMERGENCY NUMBER" and then just quit and not call 911. But I'm just using the old Valhalla rom.

[FIX]Incoming calls (any GB ROM)

Well I didn't want all the work and time I spent with the GummyCharged GBE to go to wast so last night I put in some serious hours testing and guessing
In the end I got er fixed...............
Looks like when the phone goes into sleep mode it shuts the radio off on the.. Assuming this was a Power Manger issue I went digging.. After trying to port the strait AOSP pieces and then the EEG ones (both boot-loop failures).. Then at last I tried the Fascinate's GB leak which is when I struck gold
I do want to point out an issue.. It seem that after applying this patch that your menu button light stay on sometimes after turning your screen of, this is completely random.. Eityherway it is worth the trade-off of being able to receive calls
As it says in the OP this patch will work on any GB as all GB leaks suffer from this issue.
To apply this patch simply install it via CWM

What rom are you on? We have tested and tested and so far everyone has had good luck... There is one person who said they needed to wipe before it worked for them

I am on your Gummy Gingerbread Rom. I tried wiping data and factory reset, cache,dalvik, went back to ED1, ED2 and then installed the Gingerbread stock, then installed your rom, then Installled the call fix, reinstalled after wiping and installed the fix again, but nothing seems to work, may be its my phone.
Dosnt work for me either on your gb2 beta. Puzzle lock fix works though. Not complaining...just giving you the heads up. Thanks for all the hard work!
Yes I agree I love all the hard work he is putting in. Also what does Puzzle lock fix do?

Calls not going through while screen s locked was the problem, puzzle was not the problem.
Calls is still my problem. I tried changing the odin as well.
These are my steps tell me if i am missing something.
1). Went to ED1, applied EE4.
2). Installed GB Bloated with Odin ( that installed cwr)
3). Restarted phone.
4). Saved Gummy GB, Incoming call fix on sd card.
5). Went to CWR, wiped data and cache both.
6). Installed Gummy GB, installed call fix.
7). Rebooted, Tested call receive while screen unlocked. Worked.
8). Wait for 4-5 minutes to let screen get blank.
9). Tried calling and did not receive call.
10). Went to CWR wiped data and cache again.
11). Tested and no calls yet and so repeated the whole process without going to ED1. Still issue not resolved.
I suspect its my phone.
Ok. Toggle wifi on and off and see if that works. At least it will work if you need it. Toggle off then on.

Just noticed something strange about the LG update

Since I updated, I have not received a call. Not very unusual, especially for a busy weekend. But I woke up this morning, and tried to make a call, nothing. Then texted a friend to call me, nothing.
The last phone call I actually remember making was just prior to the update. So now I'm backtracking...and trying to get to a rom that will let me make calls.

Is your baseband gone perhaps? Settings -> About Phone -> Baseband Version
Patience is a virtue... couldn't you just waited a bit before diving in and updating baseband... i want to try it but after reading a couple of posts I'll wait a bit, running old baseband+fits+faux= +20 hrs, smooth, fast n stable...

I had something similar briefly.
What happened to me was that I was not getting txt msgs.
Rebooted the phone and got the txt messages I had missed.
I quickly flashed CM7 after confirming that the new baseband works with CM7 and it's not happening anymore.

Yeah....I rebooted and factory reset...no change....then flashed back to stock....and it appears everything is working.....
Do a wipe, including internal SD.
Start fresh.
And see if it still happens.

No Service

I feel that I have tried every single possible thing I can think of to get my service back. I ODIN'd back to every single stock ROM I can find, I tried restoring my IMEI and nothing still.
It happened off MIUI V4 and now I've got nothing. Can someone please help? I've been without a phone for two days now.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks everyone for the replies? Do you know exactly what you did to get it back? I have tried using the *#2somethingsomethingsomething number that factory resets it but I got nothing. What stock version did you ODIN back to? I have tried ICS JB and Root66 whatever that one is. I am gonna go back to the JB right now and see if it'll work. Thanks man I really owe you one!
This number: *2767*3855# or wait this one ##RTN#

I used the ##RTN# after enabling the hidden menu. I did that after switching my service to another phone. I did the rest and switched back. You might try that.
Yeah I think that might be my only bet. This really really sucks. I almost went out and picked up a Droid 4 for $125 today and just said screw it. I haven't left my desk at all today trying to get this damn thing figured out. I just wish this was an easier technique.
What ROM were you on when you tried the ##RTN##?

stock 4.1.1 rom I found on a forum page and flashed with odin.
Okay sweet that's what I am running to. It shows that I am getting service with the service indicator now but it doesn't let me send messages again. I have data now I just can't send messages and I can't call. Any ideas?

Has anyone encountered this voice mail bug?

Hey all,
Ugh, didn't mean to post yet!
I just updated from CM9 to 10.2 in the hopes it might fix this bug, but it didn't. I suspect then that it's not ANYTHING to do with a ROM per se but I'm perplexed as to what it is.
The behaviour is:
- I get a voice mail
- After listening to the voice mail, deleting it, and hanging up, the notification doesn't disappear
- Some time later, I get a repeat notification of the voice mail
- During this time, I can't receive any texts
- About a DAY later, the phone will realize that voice mail actually has been deleted
I've tried searching xda, and I've tried general googling, but I haven't pinned anything down. I've seen some references to what might be a similar bug, but not with these ROMs, and... honestly a couple of YEARS ago.

I have not seen this on any of my T-Mobile phones....did you do a full wipe before flashing CM10.2..
Which 10.2 Rom did you flash..
You Might have to one-click back to
stock.
That should fix it..then work back up.

Well, I did do a factory reset.
Is resetting to the stock ROM actually guaranteed to, well, basically format /system?
(Oh, and I flashed this ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2451317 )
P.S. see here for someone's... probably unorthodox solution to the problem. Basically seems to be forcing # of voice mail notifications to 0. Which isnt really what I want, anyway.

That looks like a work-around not a solution. .
Yeah if you odin back to stock...
Its a guarantee it will format your system partition..
Try gremlin remover its always worked for me and odin is pretty simple..follow the OP its a one-click pre-made odin setup so dont change anything and your good.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1500427
Once your back to stock...
And the problem is fixed.
I always went to Team Acids CM9.
Let the partitions convert..
Then on to CM10.2 or whatever..
Never had a problem this way..

Unfortunately, I have the 959W rather than the 959V so I can't use it.
And I remember upgrading from gingerbread to CM9 was a lot tougher than I expected (I think getting the drivers to work right) and I had to get a LOT of help from a member here on the forum. IIRC there were a lot more reboots required of the phone / my PC to get things to work.
All in all I probably shouldn't mess around with ROMs. Hardware problems make me angry and frustrated.

O..didn't know you had the T959w..
Well I have seen something similar
On the Samsung GS4G Blaze..
They had a call fowarding bug that was carrying over on Roms..
It was something in CM11 that they
Figured was being written on the
Sim Card..and it was even carrying over to any Rom you flashed..
Once you got it... it didn't matter
what Rom you installed
full wipe or not it stuck..
They have Offical CM11 and the
CM team fixed it..but I remember it took a couple weeks..
Have you tried getting another
Sim Card..couldn't hurt..
Have you tried Force closing the
Phone Apk.and clearing data..
Also found this..
Here's what just worked for me on my Tmobile Galaxy S III
1) Pull the battery
2) Wait a few minutes with the battery out (I waited 5 minutes)
3) Pull the SIM card
4) Replace battery and power up phone. Wait until phone is fully booted
5) Power down phone
6) Replace SIM card and power up
Annoying VoiceMail icon is now gone.
BTW.. I hate the voice mail notification...
I wish people would
Never leave me a voice mail..LOL..
Sent from my SM-G900T using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Oh huh, I missed your reply till now.
I think force closing the phone app and clearing caches works but ONLY temporarily and then the problem reoccurs (when the phone decides to check for more voice messages?)
Man if this was something being written on the sim card and not a ROM thing that'd be really annoying. But couldn't I "just" wipe the whole sim card? That's gotta be possible, right?
I'm trying the pull-battery-and-sim-card just to see what happens.
On the plus side I found some old posts of mine on the forum and realized that I only ever used this new computer for flashing stuff. So I just have to figure out which USB port worked last time... the usb drivers should still be installed and everything.
^ Just curious what modem are you using? Is it patched to work on MTD partitions layout? Is it the stock one from Wind the Canadian carrier?
Try using modem LB6 for 959w/v patched to work for mtd roms, hope this will fix the issue.

I believe I am using the LB6 - certainly, I'm not using the stock. (The only confusion is that I've got zip files on my PC for the LB6 and a KG4 modem.)
Whatever modem I have on my phone was working fine prior to some upgrade of CM9 (IIRC).
God!!!
So I got Heimdall working again, flashed to stock, reformatted my SD card, re-updated to CM10... and I'm getting the same problem again!
So either it's the CM 10 ROM or something with my phone company! GRRRR...
Maybe the next step is to go back to stock and then just try CM 9. Or even CM 7 or something... put a modem on the stock ROM and see if THAT still ****s up.
Aaaaand stock + LB6 modem gets the voice mail notifications.
!%()*!%()*!#% phone company!

Idk What to do

No calls will ring through what so ever. I get a voice mail icon, but I do not receive the phone call. i can text, make phone calls, and browse net perfect. I update prl and profiles calls will come through for about 10-20 mins (test calls) after that it starts again. I contacted sprint they said no towers are down that I would have to take my phone to a store. Well I rooted and put a custom rom on for hotspot. It worked perfect and just randomly started happening 2 weeks ago. I doubt a store will touch my phone because I rooted. I even have rejected calls set to off. I don't know what to do. I pay way to much a month for my phone to not be able to use it. Oh I even tried the ##726 w.e the numbers were to hands free activate my phone again. Didn't work. Any help is much appreciated!
Why not Odin back to stock and take it in?
