[Q] S8500 "Call not Allowed" - General Questions and Answers

Hey guys i recently flashed my phone with TurkoCFW V6 and now am having a problem calling. Every time I try to call it says "Call not allowed". I saw other people posted the same issue but no one replied with a fix. I even flashed my phone with a different firmware after the problem happened and it hasn't helped. I have previously flashed my phone over 25 times with no problems so I have no idea what to do. Has anybody found a fix for this? Cause I mean a cellphone is pretty useless without calls...
I spoke to Hero355 and he gave a file to fix it with which worked but somehow only works with his firmware. I tried flashing with an official firmware and the problem persisted after which I tried flashing the firmware with his fix which just messed up the phone even more. I mean it works with his firmware but his firmware only.
I do not understand how this problem persists after reflashing if its wiping everything and reinstalling everything...
So I want to switch firmwares but cant because of this problem.
Would appreciate any help, Thanks!

please someone help...

[Q] Problems with touchscreen do I have to send it in

I made a youtube video of my problem here:
youtube.com/watch?v=LL_kubZ4ENc
Have anybody else had this issue with their touchscreen? I have tried to factory reset the phone. Go back to stock rom lock the bootloader, and unroot. But the problem still appear. Also tried to clean the screen and only charge it with the original charger. Nothing helps I have tried to send questions to samsung but no answers.
Have anyone here had similar issues and found a fix?

I have this problem also, im on CM7 nightly. cant unlock the screen. Phones barely 3 days old
Had that same problem, and it's gone now. Don't know what did fix it, but I flashed new radio and Trinity kernel, and the problem is gone now...
I thought with the 2.3.5 the problem was solved, but its back now... dunno what it is, my phone is 2 weeks old.
I'm experiencing the same issue on a stock, not rooted or in any way modified Nexus S I9023 (SCLCD version) with Android 2.3.6
Also the settings button is right under the line (so the location is different from the video) and it is unresponsive as well.
Does anybody have any idea what to do about this???

System UI has failed!!!

I'm running miui 2.9.14 and i always lose my status bar and the ability to answer calls when i get the message "unfortunately system ui has stopped working" and once that happens i am forced to wipe and then reflash because thats the only fix i know which is so frustrating setting everything up again just because of the problem. is it because im flashing gapps, could that cause the problem, or is it a system problem? serached through so many forms and all they say is to wipe dalvik and cache and when i do that it happens again! Please someone help me
Have you tried posting on the miui site ? I'm not familiar with that Rom but it could be a sort of "bug". You can post on the Rom site and see if others are experiencing the same issue. If they are, perhaps they likely know of a fix for this issue.?? Wish I could be of more help but I don't know much about that particular Rom. On the miui site they sould be able to direct you towards a solution . Best of luck to you!

[Q] Phone Won't Make Calls - Please Help!

Hi all,
So like most of you, I flashed to the newest version of CM (10.1.0.2). After doing that, my phone wouldn't read my sim card, so I tried the latest nightly released on 7/1/2013 and it worked! Only problem....my phone wouldn't make phone calls/texts/ I wasn't connected to the network.
So then I flashed to a stock rom via odin, did a factory reset, and upgraded to the latest OTA. Problem is, I have 4G, I can text, use data, etc. But my phone won't make phone calls. Every time I try, it says "dialing" and then the call ends.
Is anyone else experiencing this problem; does anyone have a solution? I could really use the help.
Thanks so much,
El dep.

I've been chatting with Verizon all morning to figure out how to fix it. I'm in the same boat as you.
Update Verizon is sending me a new phone, i've gone through all of their steps to find a fix, but we can't seem to find one. My phone is stuck in roaming, and we can't seem to get it. So they are sending me a new device. Hopefully you guys will have better luck. I will no longer be placing roms on my new device.

Haha this is just brilliant. I hope you come up w/ a solution. I'll let you know if anything works on my end. Fingers crossed!

Multitouch issue

Hello everybody!
There's something strange happening on my P5110. Here's the thing... when I use the tablet with one finger, everything moves as smooth as I expect... but when I try to use the pinch to zoom or just the multitouch (2 or more fingers) it may become less responsive and less smooth at the scrolling. The way to fix that is by shutting down the screen and turning it on again (I presume that it's a software issue). I use the stock 4.1.2 rom and I tried with factory reset and by searching the web, with no success. Any ideas?
I hope that someone could help me out with this issue.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Barktooth ,
I had the same problem with my P5110. I was on stock 4.03 DBT and after the update to 4.1.1 Btu I had the same issue with pinch zoom like you.
I tried everything .. flashing other stock versions, resetting and so on. But the problem stayed. Then i sent it to samsung. They reinstalled the stock 4.03 DBT version. But the Problem wasn't solved. I sent it again to samsung with a video to show them the issue. Now they solved the problem by changing the motherboard. I'm now on stock 4.03 with a new motherboard and without any issue. I think you have to send it to a samsung service center. Did the problem appear after flashing a stock rom?

Hi fredy66!
Thanks a lot for the answer. It was exactly the same for me. The issue appeared after flashing the 4.1.2 stock firmware... and is staying even if I flash another firmware or by hard resetting my device. I have far mor problems though... I don't know if there's any Samsung service center around my city and my warranty is gone. I'll try to find one.
Thanks again for the answer!... I thought it was a software issue... but now it is a hardware issue =(.

Hi Barktooth,
This is really strange. Maybe it's a software problem and the service center only couldn't solve it by flashing the normal stock firmware. It's possible that some p5110 needs a special driver because of a problem with the touch controller on some motherboards. Did you update the tablet with kies or by ota? I flashed my p5110 with odin. Have you tried cm? I'm now afraid of flashing again.

Hello fredy66!
I flashed the 4.1.2 stock firmware via odin too. I tried reflashing another version without luck. I'm gonna try with the 4.2.2 stock firmware and see if that solves the problem. It's really strange... I had a Galaxy S for a long time and flashed it like there was no tomorrow... nothing happened to that device... it works flawlessly even now. That's why I thought it was a software issue... but it seems that just a few of us had the bad luck =(.
I'll try the 4.2.2 and if it solves the problem, then I'll tell you through this topic
Thanks again for your time!

vibration doesn't work even in stock

Hey there everyone.
I flashed skullface's CM, and one of the bugs is that the vibration isn't working, which I am fine with, but later when I returned to stock firmware, the vibration still isn't working! I tried installing stock 4.1.2 and then upgraded to 4.2.2, still vibration isn't working.
I am pretty sure that it isn't a hardware problem since I don't remember dropping it before the problem appeared, and I am sure I did the flashing steps right. Any help would be truly appreciated.
strange,i i did flash skullface's cm in the past,and my vibration still work afterwards.
try flash again and do a complete wipe,see if it got any change,if not,i think you have to send it to service center(make sure you reset the binary count first)
I tried reflashing the stock multiple times after making sure I wiped everything, I can't return it to the service centre cause I bought it from another country.
