[Q] Phone calls not going through - General Questions and Answers

Hey guys and gals, I'm hoping someone here can help me. I have had a Samsung S4 for a about a year and a month ago all of a sudden, when I place a call, it acts like it going to connect but I never hear the ringback tones and when the receiving party answers they can't hear me and I can't hear them answer. It's as if I never successfully placed a call on my end, it jeeps continues to say "dialing". On the other end, the receiving party hears their phone ring but when they answer there is nothing there. I called tech support at Verizon and they thought it was a bad SIM card, so they sent me into the store for a SIM swap. That didn't work, so the tech at the counter ordered a replacement S4 for me. Now I'm sorry to say that it doesn't seem like a phone issue at all, rather an app or something that is causing the problem because I've had my new phone for 2 weeks now, and it just started happening again. I haven't installed any apps today that were on my phone prior to it happening the first time.
So A. has anyone seem this happening before and if so how'd ya fix it? And B. If not, is there a way I can find out what processes on the phone have happened in a time listed format that I might be able to narrow it down to a particular app possibly? I really don;t want to have to go through another hard reset of I don;t have to.
Thanks so much you all!!

Htc 3452 problem in recieving calls Need Help

Hi all, I bought this phone two months ago and i deeply regret the decision the phone soesnt work properly, You dont get any call notification like ring or miss call while the people on the other side can here the ring and when you call them they say why didnt u pick up the call you are in a fix as u dont even lnow they callled. God knows how many important calls i have missed. Went to the service center twice they kept the phone to keep it under monitor and they say nothing is wrong once they refreshed the OS still no g. Some friends who bought the HTC 3452 complain of the same. Need help can any one tell what to do ??

Text message notification problem

hello everyone,
this is pertaining to the ATT tilt
i did several searches on here about my problem.------ first off the problem is, when i receive a new text the phone notifies me by the corresponding tone that i have assigned to it, (like its suppose too) but after like 5-10 msg's the phone fails to sound. later i may go to the phone and see that i have like 5 unread msgs that never sounded when received.
Now back to the searches, the only thing i found were phone wont vibrate or receiving a msg it displays the wrong time and so on.
so if i over looked where this was covered i apologize in advance, i know how irritating it is to have to re answer the same questions over again. so please if anyone knows of a fix for this or who have had the same problem please let me know.
oh before i forget i also called att thinking that maybe the phone was defective, well to find out if it is theres nothing they can do cuz the phone is now discontinued.
Thanks everyone in advance

I'm sorry I have no solution, but I can tell you I'm experiencing the very same issue on my Xperia X1. I've been searching to no avail as to how to fix it but I've come to understand anyone experiencing the lost vibration on SMS has found it was due to different apps they have installed. I, too, have noticed the time stamp on incoming SMS to be off (by 5 hours).
This, at least, helps confirm it's not your phone being defective, just software.
If you have fixed this since this post, please share your solution.
Thanks!
thank you for responding. im glad to know im not the only one with the problem. i was starting to wonder if anyone would reply. im very greatful. well i haven't found a fix or done anything that i know of, but it seems that the phone has fixed its self. funny i know and ive glad that it did. funny thing about it is that i actually called at&t about the issue, seeing if anyone has ever called in regarding this. the rep told me that if its anything like her phone, it wont sound after recieving a new text if she already has one that is UNREAD. i tried to explain to her that it was failing to sound even after reading all UNREAD msgs in my in box, and then receiving a new one. but i dont think she fully understood me. so now i make sure that i read my msgs as soon as they come in. try that if ur not already. my phone has not messed up on me for close to 2 weeks now. KNOCK ON WOOD. hope this helps you in any way.

[Q] can't hear other side in conversation.

hey,
I bought the nexus s (9023) about two months ago, stock rom, not rooted, and for the last week or two, it started making problems.
about 1-5 times a day, i can't here the other side at all. as if it's on mute. not even the ringing tone, before I'm answered. the only thing that solves it, is to restart the phone.
in other forums i've read that it's a mess, and that i should use my warranty. the problem is i bought the phone abroad, and shipping it should take about 3 weeks.
is it a common issue?
can i solve it alone, mabye by switching to a non-stock rom?
i'll be very happy to read some good news here, but bad news is better than non.
thanks a lot,
tal
p.s, iv'e downloaded system info to monitor the temp, and it doesn't happen necessarily when the phone is hot.
I don't know... I am rooted, I have used 5 different roms since purchasing my phone.
Stock
CM 7
Savaged Zen
Oxygen
Soju
I have also used several kernels
CM Stock
Netarchy
Matrix
James Bond
Trinity
So far, on all roms and kernels I have experienced the same problem. You make a call and it connects, looking at the screen the time counter is going but there is no sound; it will sit there and hold the call for 30-55 seconds then ends call. A quick redial and bam it works. Some people have reported that they answered and there was nothing. I don't know, it's really obnoxious.
The other, more annoying problem is that randomly on calls throughout the day the phone will just reboot itself. Right in the middle of a call. AHHHH like 3-5 times daily!
help, anyone?
i'm stuck with this, and a bit clueless.
Well, somehow I discovered that the problem is related to the bluetooth. as long as it's turned of, nothing will happen, on the other hand, when I use my earphone (most of my conversations happen while driving) i need to restart my phone every 1-2 calls
any ideas?
just u can't hear other one while calling u?
thanks.
so it was in the beginning, but now neither of us can hear the other. no matter who made the call.
and again, only when BT is working.

hehee its problem ,
am really disappointing with nexus s , but i dont have enough money to buy HTC product again.
any solution?
Hi, did anybody have any solution to this problem?
I live this problem on almost half calls of specific numbers.
I am desparate...
Try setting discoverable timeout to never? Have you tried a different Bluetooth device?

I have this problem too. This seem to happen on some Kangs and nightly, but not all of them. I can't hear when someone calls me. But when I call someone, I can hear them. I always have Bluetooth off (do not use them).
I live the same problem. No problem for outgoing calls. For incoming calls, I cannot hear caller's voice but they can hear me. It is not for all numbers.
I am on t-mobile and nexus s (cynagenmod nightlies). For all incoming calls from tmobile numbers no problem. But for almost all other carriers, it is just random.
I feel like I started having this problem after updating from CM 7.0.2 to 7.1 RC and thereafter(but not very sure on this).
If anybody still following this topic, I would suggest you to contact samsung if you still have warranty. On the second attempt they sent me a brand new phone with box and accessories.

Or, you might give it a try with a different radio for your model:

If you go this road, make sure you backup your EFS folder.
What i would do is if it is still in warranty just give it back to them and they'll probably give you a new phone. Since you said it takes 3 weeks to ship, just wait for it and use another phone if possible. Its not like your life is going to end. I think the problem is, not every phone is the same so there will be problems especielly when flashing a rom. For example unstable roms might not allow you to use this app or have serious effects on your phone.
Best to give it back to samsung and get a replacement.

Skyrocket won't send or receive SMS until reboot

Yesterday my mom's skyrocket wouldn't send SMS or make calls so she asked me to fix it. I was looking around in the network settings but I couldn't find anything wrong. Remembering my old samsung that would do something similar (or identical), I rebooted the phone. That fixed the problem and I thought it might have just been a one time thing.
Today it happened to my phone... Someone is supposed to wake me up through text message, but because of the same exact problem my mom's phone had, it didn't ring when I got a message or even receive the message (I woke up late).
So I'm wondering if anyone else has had this problem, or if anybody could think of any solutions. I'm pretty sure more people will start to find this problem with their phones, but maybe it's just me and my mom.
I hope I didn't make the wrong decision by buying a samsung phone again.
Oh and I'm located in Dallas.
Anyone want to read about the glitch I had with my old phone? Hundreds of other people had the same problem.
Long story short:Skyrocket can't send or receive SMS or make calls until rebooted. Happened to 2 different skyrockets.*

[Q] Incoming call issue

Recently i have been getting phone calls, the past few times from the same person...the odd thing is they aren't calling me and i'm not calling them. It shows on both of our ends that we're receiving calls. It just happened to be about 20 minutes ago where i got a call from a friend of mine, she said i called her and i was no where near my phone. Then i got a call from someone i havn't spoken to in a long time (again he didn't call me)
It's really becoming irritating, i just ran some virus scans, cleaned caches and restarted. Has anyone else heard of this happening? Or is something bigger to blame then my phone...
I see your question was already answered in the General forum. Better to post here first.
I went back and saw that... My mistake, I didn't know however that prankowl existed... I'm hoping that their block number thing is legit. I'm just happy I don't have to exchange my phone due to some odd factory malfunction
