SGS 4g / don't get any calls / homebutton not working - Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)

Hey Guys!
So i have this problem for like a week now. I didn't do anything that could have done something bad to my phone, so neither do i know if i did something wrong. The problem is, that i don't get any calls. I tested it with my brother, he called me, but the mailbox is answering. The weird part is, that my phone automatically calls him back, and when he answers, there is some noise and then it hangs up. I am also a little worried, if my carrier charges every call, since my sim card is prepaid. One small problem i have, is that my home buttons isn't working either. My brother already flashed my phone one more time, but the problem's still there.
i have cyanogenmod 9 unofficial on my phone right now.
I hope somebody can help!

Check imei of phone is correct. If not correct like go back stock it 1-click.
This post should have been at the Q&A thread btw

So, the problem solved itself. I just did the factory reset, and everything works fine now. Can't believe that i didnt think of that earlier.
Can i delete this thread somehow?

Pm one of the mods.

Mobile Network not available

Hi i traded my phone, and he installed the wrong thing and broke it. I thought i could fix it which i did. Now though when i load it up it has no mobile network. I can connect to wifi. I called atnt and they said my imei was fine. I registered this phone with them when i first bought it, so i dont see how the imei could bad. I think he tried to change the carrier to something else and messed it up. Is there any way i can get my mobile network back? ITs a atnt i727. What should i be looking for to change the carrier to what its suppose to be. The imei is the right one from the back of the battery.

Isnt that for the data? I reset it to default but it didnt help. I cant make phone calls or anything. Is there a setting to tell the phone to connect to at&t or something like that? Or is there any way he broke the hardware? Under the settings about the phone it shows my phone number.
Thanks for trying guys. I have a update I got like one bar last night and it received like 4text and then got none. My girl friends phone is getting service, so does that mean something in the phone is broken
More details on what he did to break it and what you have done to fix my guess is that you need to flash a better working radio

Well when I got it back it was is a mode I haven't seen, kinda like the download mode but it said Odin kies mode. Im not sure what ics he tried to put in it. But I put back in the flash to stock Odin from the site and it loaded back up. Then I saw it didn't have service so I installed Cw recovery and installed sky coke. Which I have now, also tried some kernals but that didn't help ethier.now I have sky coke no service to atnt for calls or text but wifi works. I don't get service even in emergency mode.
Try finding a gingerbread radio FOR THIS PHONE and flash it my guess is that is your issue I don't have links but they exist somewhere in this noob ridden skyrocket forum

Thanks very much, i tried that and it still doesnt work. Weird enough every once and awhile it works, it should like it must of dropped it in water or something, and bricked it on me so i wouldn't realize what was going on. Or am i wrong? Is the thing that receives and transmits cell calls and text able to brake hardware wise?
What I would do is try a new sim card. All the network info is on there. If you did something wrong with roms or whatever, you could fry the sim. I would also make sure to have complete stock and I mean bone stock att rom( no root) placed on it. This will make everything back to factory and a better way to eliminate the problem. Sounds to me you have multiple and nothing meshing together. Search forums to return to stock which most likely would be gb 2.3.6. Good luck.
Oh and make sure you read closely and carefully. Returning to stock can be dangerous if you don't follow the directions step by step and have patience. You have nothing to lose if the phone is already borked. Its worth a try.

I'm having the same exact problem. And unfortunately, it looks like it has something to do with the CM 10.1 itself. As CM 10 works perfectly fine and gets me a signal, CM 10.1 won't be able to get me services.
I don't think there's a fix on this yet.

I'm going out on a limb here and guessing you're on a different baseband than UCMC1.

Need help

I was on Liquidsmooth ROM. Every thing was working fine until I crossed the border to Canada that is when I tried to make a call n I noticed that I had no signal no data. Went into wireless settings and under network mode it was on -home only- tried to change it but it wouldn't stick. Since then I flashed a couple other ROMs no change then I ODINed back to stock factory but still no change. When I'm in USA everything works fine when I cross into Canada I loose signal n data. I think I'm stuck in -home only- mode cause my phone is not switching into roaming. When in mobile networks settings under Roaming it says Not roaming. In Phone Status under Mobile network type it says unknown Service state -out of service-.
I have my phone #
My ERI Verizon is 5
My. IMEI is fine ( the usual #s)
My IMEISV. is 00
Can anyone help please . I cross the border 2-3 Times a week for a day or 2 n I need it to work in Canada for business n personal use. So please Help

I also tried reflashing the radios but that didn't help either. I upgraded through OTA after Odin to stock factory still no change. Everything works fine when I'm in USA but no data and no cel signal in Canada.
And yes I'm talking about my S3. The Charge is my backup phone.

To clarify, Everything was working fine until you flashed LiquidSmooth?
And then when you flashed other ROMs, and back to the stock ROM, you couldn't get services back to normal, which you had prior to flashing other than your stock ROM?
If the above is accurate, after you experienced your issues, did you flash back to the Nandroid you made prior to installing LiquidSmooth?
Or did you Always have issues when going into Canada?
I found this for now:

The only thing I can think of is try repro visioning your phone with the dialer code. I can't remember it right now, but you can find it with Google. It may not help at ask, but it's worth a shot. I've heard it does reset your phone so have a backup of any data you want to keep.

[Q] Problem with calls

Ever since day one (start of August or so) I've been having a few problems with this phone. At first, I thought it was just the network or maybe the recipient's network. Then I realize it may very well be the Blaze itself.
The problem I'm facing is this...
Almost every time I try to make a phone call I can't hear anything. No dialing sound audio. No person on the other line... just nothing. The phone does go through, but I can't hear anything. I don't use any BlueTooth device. I have to wait several minutes or reboot my phone several times in order for the calls the work properly. This issues has been going on from GB (stock, no root) to ICS (stock, no root) until now that I'm flashing the phone to see if I can fix it (currently using PA's latest version as ROM). I thought the updated radio from ICS would fix it but to no avail. Goes to say, this issue happens to my father, too (same phone, got them for free when we started the contract).
This has caused an annoyance for both me and for friends.
Anybody else experiencing this? Any ideas as to why this happens?
IDK if this helps but I'm from Puerto Rico.

Tell you what, I have been having the same problem. Make sure you call tmobile and complain! They are telling me that this is not a known issue and there are no complaints on it. I had a detailed complaint filed. I sent my phone back, got another one and it is worse than the first with this issue! Another strange thing is that it will suddenly make doubles of my custom ringtones and one of the files doesn't work. It defaults to generic ringtone. Very glitchy. Sometimes, will still show that the custom notification tone is selected but will play default tone. I am sending this one back too. I am really bummed to hear that rooting did not fix the issue on the phone calls. I was actually considering doing this next...... Really hope the next phone doesn't have this issue. I like the Blaze and don't know of another tmobile phone that is comparable to replace it with.
ditto
I have the same problem I believe. I currently dorm near the Bay Area, California. I haven't been able to hear or reply through my calls even though they connect to the other person's phone. This isn't exactly a signal problem because the phone still has bars and I can still tell when someone is trying to call me. I still receive texts, use wifi, and sound is working perfectly fine. I am glad I am not the only one with these problems.
edit: This whole "unable to hear or speak" into the mobile phone problem began around November 22nd (thanksgiving overload?).
I am using CyanogenMod 9, rooted of course.
edit2: So I just tinkered around with the sim card and battery by taking it out and waiting for a minute or two before putting it back in. Voila! I can now hear my voice mail.
Sounds like Handset issues with me... send them back and have them send you new ones... that's some BS if it is doing that Stock.
Just my opinion... being through a lot of phone and that is what it sounds like. just one mans opinion... cheers

I would be better off getting a new, better phone, it seems. It is quite annoying. Either way I voided my warranty by flashing. I don't suppose I can actually return it back to stock (like, literally returning to stock and unrooting and wiping and formatting every data) so I can still give it back... can I?
PS: Thanks for the replies.

See the 'return to stock Odin thread' in the dev section. You will also need to flash the flash counter reset from the themes section.

I got my third phone from tmobile the other day (all Blaze) and my very first phone call it happened on. To add to what someone else said. The phone shows plenty of signal strength and in fact, if I hang up and call right back the call goes through as it should. This from sitting in the exact same spot. I can't figure out what's going on? I had thought on this and realized that I had been turning off apps on the phone that I don't use (pre loaded junk). On the off chance that had something to do with it I turned them all back on. Still does it. I'd say it is a good 30-35% of my calls that this happens on. Very frustrating. I really like this phone but it won't function as a phone for me. I guess now they have to give me a different phone if I return this one too but I don't know what phone is comparable in size and function. I picked this phone specifically for the size. My wife got an s3 and I was not interested in it at all due to how big it is. This sucks.
I have to chime in. i just bought the blaze for my g/f, and i've using an sgh-t989 (galaxy s2), having the same issue you are describing. stock radio, stock ROM, just rooted.
Such a shame considering it is such a great phone for the price it is offered at. Safe to assume it is a hardware problem?

Are you saying that you are having this problem with the blaze or the s2? Both?
Both phone are having this behavior. new SIM used in both phones aswell.
Yeah, I went down and switched out my sim card as well. My wife has an s3 and has no problems so I don't know what's up? Shows signal but calls won't connect properly. Hang up and call back, it works. Huge pain when I am driving or short on time though.
Any fix this problem found? I talked to samsung and t-mobile today, samsung was no help at all and t-mobile asked me to master reset it. Once that didn't work they offered a warranty exchange. Any one have luck correcting the issue?
So far? No. But my phone seems to be behaving for the past few days (3). Which is weird. I'm probably jinxing it right now.

Restart during a call, the handset will not send sound.
Maybe they got a bad batch of Blaze 4G's. NOT making an excuse for them but I know it's happened in this business and others.... If I were u I wouldn't keep on dealing, hats to your patience. Let know where you're at. I've flashed to CM 10 nightly 20121207 and my Blaze is just damn sexy lmao, "figure of speech" good luck brought cheers

Whas ROM are you using? ICS and gingerbread have a call preference switch in settings. Set it to data preferred. Cm 10 has a lte switch in settings use it. Battery apps can cause delay in data connect. Try these and let me know how it works.

Hi,
New to the S3 and this rom. Root, flash went well, and so far, I'm loving this rom. One problem that is stumping me is this:
Using ADW launcher, have a direct dial short cut to voice mail. The voice mail contact is set up to dial *86 ,,xxxx, so with one tap, I can call vm and access messages.
However, the keyboard then becomes non responsive. I can't delete or save messages, and if I have multiple messages, can't get to the next one.
Any suggestions on how to work around this appreciated.
I'm running the 3.2 beta version of LS, and really only have this, and one other minor issue.
Thank you.
Still haven't solved this, but here's more clarification:
Phone is running LiquidSmooth 4.2.1m v2.1m beta 3.2
1. Using a 'direct dial shortcut. the rom dialer has a contact set up named voicemail, that is programmed: *86;,,XXXX. When I hit the direct dial shortcut, voicemail is dialed, xxxx is sent, and I can hear my first voicemail. The problem is the dialpad is non responsive. So, I can't save or delete the first voicemail, nor can I proceed to listen to the next one.
If I dial *86, and enter the password manually, then the dial pad works.
Even if I dial any contact withGoDialer, then, open keyboard to dial and extension, I get the stock dialer.
I drive a lot, and need as few distractions as possible. Any suggestions on how to fix this would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

I tried pretty much everything on the internet before posting here.
My stock/no root phone started bootlooping. So I used Odin and root66.tar to get it back. Everything seemed to be good. After I got 3 updates:1) 30mb, 2) 60mb and 3) JB updated OTA. After 60Mb update my phone said Samsung and shows unlocked lock. After JB update my phone bootloops again.
I though it it was a bad update and reflashed stock no root 4.0.4 and OTA did the same thing.
I tried the gs3 tool to flash the recovery and it always fails.
I would appreciate any help.... I have been dealing with this non sense for the past 24h.

carrier
Since you carrier wont load I believe following this tutorial with help fix your problem but check the conditions. Im not allowed to post links apparently so I attached it. I'll also flash cleanrom 5.6 and find out if its a software thing and get back to you. But it seems to me like its a MEID issue. So check the conditions in the link and if they are true I'd go that way. If not re-flash, clean install would be my suggestion. Yeah I run Cynagenmod 10.1 and it even knows I'm on Verizon. And Scott's roms always have the carrier.

I can't recall when I last had it working but my NFC completely stopped working. I have tried reverting back to absolute stock rooted nandroid.

I have gone into a Verizon wireless store to seek help but the guy made a sarcastic remark that his iPhone wouldn't have that problem...but I also as a few other notes I have tried hells ROM and also flashing the NFC file with the ROM which also didn't work and have tried the few NFC Google wallet fixes I have seen, also sadly no luck.

replacement?
I think you may have a faulty chip. Also is your battery NFC capable? But to be honest Verizon will replace it for free if your under the 1 year warranty and don't have water damage or anything like that. Because if it doesn't work on the stock rom it's most likely a hardware problem in this case. So I would contact your carrier about that.

It had worked before so I was wondering if maybe it fried somehow? Phone has never been dropped, no water damage, watch because I said that i'll drop it in 5 minutes and shatter my screen I guess I'll just try Samsung tomorrow and see what they have to say.

Actually I just thought of something else to try. Have you gone in and force quit nfc and cleared the app data? That may resolve the problem. Nfc will be under all apps and it is named nfc service.

Good idea, just tried it and it didn't do anything. Also tried that, rebooted recovery, wiped dalvick and cache fixed permissions then tried again with no luck. =/

Are you using a non stock kernel? Also when you went back to stock did you erase everything on the phone?

Help! Can't get signal/data

Well, last night I decided to simply reboot my nexus 5. That's it.
After it came back up i no longer had a signal or connection. I figured, huh that's weird so i rebooted again to no changed. Not long after the rom I was running Purity, started to boot loop and crash and loop. So i knew something was up.
I noticed my IMEI wasn't showing, so i was even more concerned. I wiped my phone completely, and got a factory image back on it. New recovery, and everything. Fastboot flashed a custom stock 4.4.3 rom, and the new radio, and nothing.
It boots fine, loads fine but cannot get a god damn signal. Just empty. It says when i try to call to turn airplane mode off, but it's off.
My IMEI does now show, just says service state - Radio off, unknown phone number, and disconnected mobile state. Went to T-mobile and they gave me a new SIM and no change.
I'm going to fastboot flash back to stock 4.4.2 and see if any change.
Any suggestions fellas? Could use some help here.
Do you have a backup of your efs? If so flash it

no my IMEI shows up fine, it's my radio is off.
i've dialed 4636 and went to manually do it, but trying to turn it on doesn't work. Just stays off.
flashed the newest radio AFTER i've flashed the stock factory 4.4.3 image.
Any other ideas guys?
kinda stuck here in a rock and a hard place

You've done everything I would have recommended. I think it's a hardware failure and you'll have to rma it. Have you checked with your carrier to see if it's anything on their end?

well went to Tmobile, and they gave me a new SIM, but didn't work. So random for a failure on a restart, but Tmobile is sending me a new Nexus 5 overnight shipping with a prepaid label. Just have to send the old one back. And they are discounting my service for a few days too.
sucks without a phone though, now i'm backing my Nexus 7 up just in case **** like this happens again.
Good news ultimately though

well, my luck sucks.
got my new Nexus and I got it unlocked, rooted, and custom rom'd. Within the first 15 min it started a never ending bootloop.
reverted everything back to stock the way it comes from google, and nothing, went back to T-mobile and they did dianostics, and then are getting me a 2nd replacement overnight.
talk about lame

Honestly it appears to me that you're really lacking technical knowledge and moral integrity.
You were given a second phone after you voided the warranty on the first one and rendered it unusable. The first thing you do is void the second one and basically brick it again. It's really lame and I kind'a hope T-Mobile notices it. Sorry mate.
Not here to scold....
Just advice....
Don't do anything to the next one until you read read read....then do some reading. I suggest all relevant stickies. Learn exactly what you are doing. Then read instructions fully and only then......do. ?
Any news?
Hi everyone,
it's been 2 days i don't have signal. I lost it without even rooting/unlocking the bootloader. I called Rogers to know what was the problem but they think its the phone. The problem is that Telus sim card works properly... Band/Radio problem?
If you guys have any news of what is going on... It would be appreciated.
Thank you!

Then the rogers sim could be defective, or your APN settings are incorrect/missing. That would be my guess.

Thank you for your response.
Unfortunately, the sim card has been tested(works fine on a old blackberry) and another rogers sim card has been tested and doesnt work either.
At least, I know that a telus sim card works fine.

Are you saying telus does work but Rogers doesn't? Check your apn then for Rogers.

honestly, i don't lack any technical knowledge.
i followed the stickies here to the letter. it's a refurbished unit that t-mobile said was defective at the store.
i read, and read, and read some more, and understand it all now, i have everything down to the core, i bookmarked every important thread relevant here.
i hate people like you that assume I have no integrity or knowledge, i never caused the 1st one to fail, it just happened. the 2nd wasn't my fault either it just failed out of the box.
