As many of users updated to their Nexus 5 to 4.4.2 have pointed out, sometimes a very frustrating bug happens when trying to call someone.
Symptoms: CALL ENDED and call drop when trying to call someone and not being able to receive calls. The problem is persistent and is not fixed by entering airplane mode and sometimes is not fixed even by restarting the phone.
Observations: through simulated tests I've managed to find a probable source of the glitch. When I run the phone in "3G preferred" mode (H or H+ near network indicator) and do frequent WiFi connections, the problem appears and after disabling the WiFi I can not call anyone. THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN AFTER SWITCHING TO 2G PREFERRED under Mobile Networks tab in the settings, as well as choosing GSM only through the service menu by entering *#*#4636*#*# in the dialer.
Choosing a network mode other than 2G ( GSM only) brings the bug back and the phone is unusable as a phone.
Summary: 3G modem drivers are either linked to WiFi, or have an independent network reconnection problem.
I have searched high and low and have seen similar stuff happen to nexus 5 users on this firmware and the issue non existent on 4.4 or 4.4.1. However, I do not have a common "empty signal bars" or "emergency only" symptom with this problem. I am in no mood of rooting the phone and reflashing modem or any part of software (seriously, N5 is the first device I do not want/need to root) nor I will return in to the supplier.
Please, raise awareness on this topic as the phone that is intended to work on LTE does work fully only on 2G (GSM only). What the?
P.S. my mobile network provider is Tele2 Latvia, country - Latvia
I think the problem is either your device or your network operator. Poor 3G signals (network problem) could led to phone call problems since 3G is preferred over 2G (since you are selecting it so).
I don't know how the network works in Latvia, but here in Berlin I never use 4G preferred cause there is 4G only in a few spots around the city, but the 3G works perfect.
Okay, so I did a thing I would never do on a Nexus 5.
In order to rule out software issue on this problem, I flashed stock rom from Google Developers website, the 4.4 one. Then, I selected 3G in mobile settings, and connected to Wi-Fi. I could call and receive calls. However, after I disconnected from the Wi-Fi network, I could not call anyone and received constant CALL ENDED messages a second after dialing a number. No one could reach me either. Then, after about 5 minutes, I could call while on 3G/H network, all of a sudden. Then, when calls were dropping, I connected to WiFi and could call!
What the hell? I flashed 4.4.1 then, same problem and now I am on 4.4.2 again, with the same stuff happening. This does not occur on 2G network.

I've noticed the same issue as well and the only workaround is to put on Airplane Mode for about 5-10 seconds and it will work. Whenever I would put it on Airplane Mode and immediately switch it off it wouldn't work. Try it and you'll be fine. It always works that way for me.

Thank you for a rapid reply. Unfortunately, this method did not help. The only way I am able to make calls is after quickly connecting to ANY wi-fi network.
Here is a sample video, sorry, had only my gopro at the moment

You said the Airplane Mode for 5-10 seconds doesn't work?
Also, I see whenever you switch back and forth from WiFi you do it the slower way. Next time pull down the notification drawer and then press and hold the WiFi icon and it will enable WiFi. Its a few seconds faster doing it that way.

Amazing, thanks! No reason for me to flash paranoid android now haha
Also, you can expand notifications (like the first one is always expanded) by swiping down the notification list, through notification tabs, in case you missed that!

You're welcome. For some reason I don't understand exactly what you mean when you say " Also, you can expand notifications (like the first one is always expanded) by swiping down the notification list, through notification tabs". Can you make a pic or make a video of what you mean?

Thanks although I've already known about this feature.

On the Android issue tracker several people seem to have got over the no call problem permanently by simply deactivating 'wifi optimisation' in the settings.
False alarm.
I've performed an experiment, in which I travelled around the city from most busy to less busy districts and the problem appeared in those more busy. I linked this to some problems with mobile network provider (carrier) and, indeed, it looks like all voice channels for 3g network are occupied. It explains different time it takes for the phone to be able to make calls (stop call-dropping).
It is some stuff the provider messed up with. Fixed by switching to another carrier.

So we all know there are many settings to play around with under the 3845#*850* menu. Under LTE there is a setting to select what LTE band you want to be on. I learned the hard way, DON'T touch those. Your phone will be on whatever band you select and will not switch bands automatically. I can't seem to get it back to the way is was before even with a factory reset so I;m just warning you guys.
Did you get this resolved?
I have done this on my VZW G3. Did you get this resolved? I selected b4 and b13 and now I that I see you'd thread I'm wondering if doing this will lock me out of the new Qualcomm band unlocking using QPST.

Yes I have found a way. This is with the d850 model so it may be a little different
1. Download the application Shortcut master found here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.vndnguyen.shortcutmaster.lite
2. In the application, press the menu button and select "secret code explorer"
3. Look for the option that has "com.lge.hiddenmenu.updt.UnitedDebugToolReceiver" and press it then press explore
4. Next look for RAT_Selection with the description under it as "com.lge.hiddenmenu.lte_only.RAT_Selection. This one is about 60% of the way down the menu. Don't get it confused with the one that says wcdma in the description.
5. Once that's launched, Select Wcdma or CDMA only. Wait for it to connect, then select LTE only, wait for it to connect then select the multimode option of whatever network you're on (AT&T: GSM/WCDMA/LTE auto VZW should be CDMA/LTE auto)
6. To confirm no specific LTE band is selected, back out of that menu, then scroll down to "BandSelection" Do not go to "LteBandSelection" it will give you the wrong options. Once in the menu, it should say none selected and you should still be connected to LTE.

So i was looking through and accidently clicked a band. but nothing happened and i tried this fix but it keeps telling me could not find file when i try to launch "com.lge.hiddenmenu.lte_only.RAT_Selection". What happens if you click a band?

On my ATT device it would stay on the band you selected only and wouldn't automatically switch between them.
edit: try going to "com.lge.hiddenmenu.kddi_only.NetworkMode" change your network mode to Gsm/WCDMA then to LTE only then back to LTE/GSM/WDCMA and it should reset whatever you may have selected in the other menu.

So i have had this problem for a while. My fiance has a g3 as well and it connects to 4g lte. Hers isnt rooted but mine is. I have followed all of the instructions that you posted to fix the problem, but when i tap on lte only, a message box comes up that says failed, sane with automatic. When i tap gsm or wcdma, it says success. Any ideas what might be going on. Any help will be appreciated!!!
Here is the screenshot, sorry it took so long. Any one that I hit that contains LTE in it comes up with this fail message. The only ones that will show success are wcdma and gsm. Thanks for your time!!!

Scared the **** out of me... (Fixed)
I accidentally selected one of the bands, and it wouldn't automatically switch anymore. I have to say I have an unrooted D855. I came online to search and scared the **** out of me, and nothing I tried from this thread worked. I happened to stumble upon a thread teaching how to enable LTE on some G3 devices using this menu, and they said settings only last UNTIL REBOOT. So came my hope:
FIX: Just reboot.
Verification: I selected some band that has no 4G network at my location, 4G disappeared. rebooted. 4G appeared. Problem solved. Not sure why it didn't work for TS (maybe TS is rooted), but worked for me (unrooted).
When i click LTE only i get an error message saying "Restricted access changed" voice service is blocked? and it doesnt connect to the LTE network which in my case is band 3 1800mhz. please help . when i try selcecting the band manually is says failed.

I Just flashed my F350L to D838 rom to get a clean experience from all the Korean apps and everything is perfect but no 4g LTE option . The dialer codes do work but its annoying doing that every reboot.
If your device is rooted then install Build Prop Editor from Google Play Store https://play.google.com/store/apps/...editor&pcampaignid=APPU_1_6N8ZVrkTx5FolN-TiAM.
Open it and in the search field type telephony so it will find a line called ro.telephony.default_network. Open that setting and instead of default value (I suppose it's number 8) you can put 10 or 12. Save that change and than reboot your device. You will now have LTE in your network settings. I hope it will work for you...

Go to mobile network settings and set GSM/WCDMA/LTE auto and then activate mobile data option. Exit and don't enter the settings again because if you enter it will change this option to GSM/WCDMA preferred for some unknown reason. 4G is working and you can easily disable and enable mobile data now from notification drawer. But don't enter the settings! I know that this is not permanent solution for this problem. It's anoying to me too. But it's little bit better than typing those dialer codes every time...

Hello AndroidBrick, stumbled onto your site while looking for solution. I am Nigerian and I use an LG G Pro (D838, 32GB). Some days back i noticed that i had no network on my phone so I tried inserting another sim into the device and still got the same result but other devices around had network coverage. I changed the network mode to GSM only and got 2G but WCDMA only gives me nothing. I have tried other sims on GSM only mode and got 2G but when i change the mode to WCDMA only, i get nothing at all. Have also put it to GSM/WCDMA auto but keeps giving me just 2G network only. I have even had to downgrade the OS from android 5.0.1 to 4.4.2 as suggested by a friend and still got the same issue(NB: this happened after I received a notification form LG to download an upgrade of about 54MB). Decided to manage it that way as I went on looking for solutions to that problem but with no luck and then the bluetooth and wifi stopped connecting. Please, what should i do? Any other information you would need from me, please I will do all I can to provide to you. Thank you in advance.

I'm using the Honor 8 with 2 SIM Cards. One pivate and one for the work. After ending work at the afternoon, I am disabling the one for the work.
After that, Im getting two things in the accu manager:
1. Usage\ Software\ Mobile Standby: Time for network search is raising.
2. In the same time the indicator für Network strength at Details is turning to red.
When i reboot hte phone with one card, everything is fine.
My question is, if it is a bug or if the phone is really searching for the network of the disabled SIM card? That would be a heavy accu drainer.

When two SIM cards are inserted, only one SIM card can be set as the 4G/3G/2G SIM. The other SIM card slot only supports 2G networks. You can also configure the default card for mobile data and phone calls according to your monthly plan.
Open Settings and touch Dual card management. You can configure both SIM cards as desired.
- If you disable a SIM card, you will be unable to use it to make calls, send messages, or access the Internet.
- Select Dual SIM calling. You can configure whether you want to select a SIM card manually or use the default SIM card each time you make a call. If you choose to use the default SIM card, your phone will use that SIM card for all outgoing calls.
If the device is constantly searching for a network, I would disable whichever SIM card is not in use at the time. (NS)
I am disabling the Card that shouldn't be used! Thats the curious thing. Just after disabling and no more being logged in to this network, the signal strength is turning into red and the search for network time raising

Try upgrade your phone to newest firmware B120
Sent from my HUAWEI VIE-L29 using XDA Labs
An update will fix it, probably
Diddi82 -- If you're still having issues with your second SIM card not disabling, please call into our knowledgeable Honor Customer Service Team at +1-844-524-6667 and they can further troubleshoot the issue for you. At Honor, we're always here to help! (NS)
Just updated to B120
But having the same issue. Nobody else here with 2 sim who can try?
The sim is marked as "turned off" and there are no more second signal bars in status bar.
But in accu manager die colour for signal strength is red and time for network search raising.
Maybe just a bug.

Edit: when switching the 4g/3g slot from one card to the other, after disabling one sim card, the network search is stopping.
At least an option without restarting the phone
The problem has raised
It seems that one of my sim cards coould not be deactivated correctly. The number is not signed out of the system correctly and can be called by person within the same network carrier. They are hearing the dial tone! But as it should be - my phone is not ringing. Calls from other network carriers are correct - the don'T hear the dial tone
The problem only appears with one of my cards. The other one is signing out correctly.
If i activate the problematic sim Card in menu and SHUT Down my phone after that, everything is fine and the person who calls me, are hearing that I'm not available. So the card is signed out correctly.
Thats the reasons why the accu statistic is showing the red line after disabling the problematic card and the raising time of network search.
I've already called my carrier hotline but they have no idea and say the the phone is causing rhe problem.
What can I do?

Did you fix that? Same problem here
tl;dr - I was able to get my ROG phone 5 working on Verizon in the US. I thought I'd let people know of my success and give a rough guide, but won't be able to support a lot of follow-up questions. Also, if this doesn't work for you, sorry - I'd not go out and buy this phone just on the basis of this post, but just relaying my success and saying that it's confirmed possible.
Rough steps:
Get a ROG 5 from US Store. Others might work, but the model I have is ASUS_1005DC
Add HD Voice and CDMA-Less Provisioning to your account either via Customer Service or VZW Corporate store.
Get a 5G SIM from a Verizon Corporate store
Provision the 5G SIM in something that the VZW system will accept, to get it associated with your account. (iPhones work great).
Set up your ROG 5 (both in the sense of Google, and then dial *#*#3642623344#*#* from your phone app's dialer and then going into settings and turning on WiFi calling and 4G Calling.
Insert (or pop-out-and-then-back-in) your SIM card (Slot1).
Hey all -
I'm posting here (after a bunch of lurking) to let people know that I got my ROG Phone 5 working on Verizon Wireless (VZW)- as far as I can tell everything works (except for Verizon video calling, haven't tried that yet), and I don't really mind since there are significantly more common ways to get this working.
These are the steps *I* went through to get my device working. They might not all be necessary. They might not be all-inclusive. =) I also mess around a lot to get my device up and running, so it's possible I didn't document something. Anyway, enough with the disclaimers:
I bought a ROG 5 directly from this link. (I don't know if any other models work, or any CN models with flashed ROMs work.). I purchased this one because I specifically wanted the one with all the bands in the US, and the Tencent one does not appear to have as many bands - and the specifications on many of the reseller sites are unclear (and flat incorrect). Note that there are many different variants. The part number that I ordered was ZS673KS-16G256G-BK, and the part number on the sticker on the device itself is ASUS_1005DC. My current OS version is 18.0840.2104.49.
Based on poking around here and reddit, I found that people had gotten non-CDMA devices to work on Verizon by having HD Voice and CDMA-less provisioning enabled on their accounts. (OnePlus 7 Pro was the reference device I used). Note that if you do not have BOTH of these enabled, weird stuff may happen. (No phone calls can be made, texts will go into /dev/null, texts might be sent but not received.)
You need a 5G SIM card. I had a 4G one from my previous (non-CDMA device), but just physically transferring did not work. (at least some combination of 4G sim card and not having the right flags provisioning enabled on my account). I just want to a Verizon corporate store on the advice of a Cust Service rep and they were able to help me out.
You need to have them provision the 5G SIM card to a device that the Verizon system will recognize, because if you try to provision the card and tell the VZW system that it's going into the RoG phone 5 (using the IMEI), it will fail horribly. The VZW person put it into an iPhone 12, associated the SIM with my account, and then I put it into my Rog 5 (Slot 1) and both the phone and device were happy.
You need to go through the normal google setup steps, and then type *#*#3642623344#*#* into the phone app to expose the calling via 4G and wifi calling options (and video options). I don't think this survives a reboot.
Enable 4G Calling: Settings->Network & Internet -> Mobile Network -> SIM1 -> 4G Calling. (I also turned on 5G and Auto 5G here, seems to work fine)
Enable WiFi calling: Settings->Network & Internet -> Call -> Wi-Fi Calling
Pop the card into the device (or remove-and-replace) to get the device to renegotiate the settings.

Phone calls, text, work (send-and-receive via Google Messages.)
This is great news and hopefully can be confirmed by others. I'm currently on the LG V60, but with LG leaving the market, this is about the only phone of interest to me (or perhaps the ROG 6 by the time I need to upgrade?). So far, the only other info I saw on this was a Reddit post that mentioned only getting data working but no voice calls.
Has anybody else tried this?
Thank you for the steps. I finally got the phone and can confirm It is working on Verizon. For me, I just did it with my previous 4G sim with no other steps other than enable the wifi calling. (I may have done the enable HD voice to activate ROG phone 1 on Verizon as an FYI). Either way, calls and text are going through the Verizon sim just fine.
EDIT: So, the phone part works for both inbound and outbound. Text is only outbound right now for me. One question though. If I reboot the phone, then I have to reinsert the sim after it boots in order for the voLTE to work again. Does this happen to you or did it happen? If so any fix?
EDIT(Final) : Everything works fine now. Used oneplus 6t to force verizon set the line properly then popped into the phone. Just need to redo the dial code after a reboot. Thankfully just turning off the sim and turning it back on works instead of having to take out and reinserting.
This is on the ROG phone 5 Ultimate that I purchased form ASUS USA store.

It works. Got it going on my 5s
This does work and even works with the 5S and pro model. The only caveat I've found is that every couple days I won't be getting messages outside of the chat feature in Google messages. So people who don't use that or have iPhones you won't receive their messages unless you remove the sim and put it back in. Not a big deal as every couple days I like to reboot my phone and I just remove the SIM card and put it back in while I'm at it. Then I go into SIM settings and disable then re-enable 4G calling and everything works perfectly
Can confirm these steps work on the RoG Phone 5S Pro (USA model). However 5G seems to not allow incoming texts through (will test that again later) so I have 5G turned off. Sim card removal is not needed though as @TheFerret09 mentioned. I just turn on airplane mode on and off for 5 seconds and the texts will come through. Haven't rebooted in over a week now.
If you are rebooting the phone, you will need to enter the code in step 5 again and disable and reenable 4G. Removing the sim card and putting it back in does the same thing as the code I guess?

After following the steps like putting in the code and re-enabling vo 4g after a reboot, occasionally I can't get messages to come through, but removing the sim did the trick. Next time it happens I'll have to try just putting it in airplane mode to see if that does it. Would be easier for sure.
But I'll randomly just not be getting incoming messages even though the volte icon is visible (for me that means everything is working). So that's when I will remove the sim. Hopefully airplane mode helps. Thanks for the heads up.

Ya see if that does the trick. How is your experience on 5G? I dont have any actual 5G in my area, just the nationwide crap. In my initial tests, the 4G in my area seems to be faster than 5G while connected to a tower that has both.

In my area 5g blows so I don't use it. 4g is far better and faster for the time being so I haven't had a good chance to try it out.
Does anyone know the correct code for the Rog Phone 5s (1005DC)? This one *#*#3642623344#*#* isn't working. Thanks!

It will appear as if its not working when you type it in but you should get the extra options in "Network & Internet" settings to complete the process.
After weeks of trying to get Verizon to place the phone on their DMD and enable CDMA-Less on my account, they just kept saying that the Asus_1005DC is not fully compartible with their network and will not activate it. That was unfortunate and I had to return the device.

Well, you weren't supposed to specifically ask them to add this phone on their DMD. You needed to follow the directions above more carefully. You should have placed a 5G sim card in a phone already in their DMD (borrow a friends phone or use your old one) and ask them to provision it as CDMA-less. Then you would transfer the sim into the RoG Phone 5.

How was I suppose to know what phones they have on the DMD? The only other phone I had was a verizon LG V60.

I would think its pretty obvious this one would not be on their DMD otherwise this thread would have no reason to exist.
This is an update:
Got an Asus_AI2201_D ROG Phone 6 Pro and tried this guide again. Got the phone working on VZ on day one.

I'm actually seeing this issue as well on my 6D Ultimate - for a while I assumed I was typing it wrong but I've quintuple checked at this point and I never see these extra options in my Network & Internet settings. I enter the code in the phone app and it clears itself out but the settings doesn't change. I've rebooted and checked this process many times. I've tried searching for this and other people use the same code so I'm not sure what's up.
I'm probably just going to give up and switch to Mint though - I live in a city so I'm not crazy worried about losing the coverage.
Edit to add: This is with Visible (which is a fragment of Verizon and the SIM even shows "Verizon" when inserted) so maybe the options don't show up if the SIM isn't like, the "right" SIM? Only thing I can think of.
The options are there. You need to enter on SIM 1 settings.
I have since switched from the phone 5s to the Phone 6 Pro (ASUS_AI2201_F)
I posted about this prior to buying the phone and other members on Verizon with unlocked phones swore up and down it'd work. I can't get mine working. When I try activating it from the settings after some time it just fails. Any tips? Any magisk modules to make it happen?
Do you have WiFI calling feature enabled on your verizon account? Its not one of those automatic features that you get just because the phone has it. Its called HD Voice.
If you dont have it on, follow these instructions: https://www.verizon.com/support/knowledge-base-130983/
If you have it activated on verizon already then you might have some other issue.
I have an unlocked phone on Verizon and wifi calling works fine. You have to activate the setting while you're connected to a wifi network., and have it enabled as per the above post. Do you get an error when trying to activate it in the phone settings?
If you disabled the app 'My Verizon Services' you won't be able to use wifi calling

I'm pretty sure I don't have My Verizon Services app and I have an unlocked Pixel 7 Pro
I disabled that once with titanium backup and it broke wifi calling. If you haven't disabled it with titanium backup or swift backup, then you probably have that system app enabled. what error do you see in settings when you try to enable wifi calling?

Install it from the play store and give it permissions, I'm curious if WiFi calling works also. I have a P6P Verizon branded, but want to get an unlocked P7P and stay on my current Verizon plan, but I have to have WiFi calling because of work conditions. I'm rooting for ya !

My wifi calling works, I just don't have Verizon bloatware with my phone being unlocked
That's not the same as the My Verizon app. I don't have that app installed. Maybe disregard that part of my previous post. It only applies to the SYSTEM app My Verizon Services that is on the phone, unclear if it autodownloaded when the SIM was inserted, but I suspect it did. I do not have the My Verizon app or any other Verizon bloatware on my phone, nor is it necessary for wifi calling on an unlocked phone (delete the bloatware after it autodownloads on sim insertion). In settings, you can look in the apps list, make system apps visible, and see if My Verizon Services is listed. If it's not, try restarting the phone with the sim card out, then inserting it after the os loads, and I suspect it will autodownload.
wifi calling works 100% on rooted/kirisakura'd unlocked p7p bought from google on Verizon's network.
wifi calling also worked 100% on rooted/kirisakura'd unlocked p6p bought from google on Verizon's network.
My unlocked p7p has myVerizonservices. I was able to activate wifi calling and all the other Verizon goodies. After activating it all, I disabled the app on apps. Now when I want wifi calling to work I have to put the phone in airplane mode then turn wifi back on, and that gives me WiFi calling. Voicemail and all that works just fine.
Working fine on my factory unlocked P7P.

I just bought the Unlocked P7P. I'm on Verizon Proper service with wifi calling as part of my service. I don't plan on rooting it, unless I have to. If anything I would Flash the Verizon Firmware, which I'm hoping not to have to do. My question is out of the box after putting my sim in, will it have wifi calling highlighted so I can enable it, and will it work? Hope Sooo
I have the general firmware/rom on my unlocked p7p on verizon and there was nothing special that I did to enable wifi calling. wifi calling is a standard feature that should work out of the box without any modifications

Have you disabled any system apps related to Emergency info? I don't remember the exact apps name off the top of my head but I know when I froze/disabled one of those wifi calling would just hang and not activate like you are describing. After I activated it I disabled both My Verizon and Verizon Services and I still have wifi calling but I am rooted but on stock rom, not sure if that affects anything.
