[URGENT] Suddenly can't make calls from Nexus 5 - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

The problem started last night when i was travelling, it was working in my previous city, but as soon i got the signals on the airport in next city, calls suddenly stopped working. It ends with "Call ended" as soon as i try to dial a number. I can send SMS, receive calls, but can't make any calls.
I tried my sim in another phone, works fine, another sim in my nexus 5, same problem with that sim, so the problem is with the phone.
Tried factory reset, dirty reflashing of MOB30D build, problem remains the same. Any ideas what happened? Please reply, it's urgent as i am with no other phone in another city right now. :crying:

Update : I tried flashing dirty unicorn with multi Rom, the calling feature works in that. So something is wrong with stock Rom. Damn Google.

Might be an apn problem, I mean if it works in DU.
My hometown is Fortuna California.

Now that I am back in my city, as soon as I got the signals on the airport, calls started working again. ?
Might be an apn problem, though I wasn't able to resolve that, the same settings worked previously in November when I visited the same city. Something changed between the builds during November and April.

Fuze doesn't receive calls

I've been having a problem with my Fuze randomly not being able to receive text messages or calls.
Sometimes when people call, they say it rings twice and goes to voice mail. All the while, I never hear anything or get a notification. This happened once after I texted someone to call me when they get a chance. They tried 3 times and then texted me back to say that they were getting sent to voice mail. I didn't get notification for either until after I called this person myself 20 minutes later. Right when the call connected, I got notification of a new text message.
Another time, somebody was calling me for 3 days. I didn't know he was trying to reach me until he finally left a voice mail and I got the notification for that (no missed call notifications).
I called AT&T and their tech support did some tests (called my phone) but since it isn't reproducible 100% of the time, they couldn't offer any explanation.
This isn't a bars/signal issue either as this is occurring in the same spot where my Tilt would always receive calls fine.
Has anyone else seen this?
I had the exact same problem with my Sprint Touch Pro & ended my contract early & switched to at&t. Hopefully it's not a fundamental hardware problem.

Did you get a Fuze when you switched? Has that worked better for you? I'm still within my 30 days, so I'm debating exchanging it or just returning it and giving up.
I'm having the same problem. I did a quick search and found this;
This AT&T Forum Post
I tried the workaround and haven't had a chance to really test it yet though. I also noticed a few other settings in there that might have accounted for it.
One selection inside the phone settings had to do with whether calls went to voicemail when you're "Unavailable" or "Busy." I'm not familiar enough with the phone to know when it might tag me as either one so I unchecked both and I'm going to recreate my missed calls this morning.
Someone called after the phone had been sitting on my desk all night so I thought maybe it thought I was "Unavailable" due to inactivity (I dunno, I'm winging it) so I'm letting it idle for a few hours and getting a call later to see what happens.
Incidentally I have the exact same problem, no call coming in, but then I get the voicemail message after I try calling someone.
Unless I'm misunderstanding your point, "Unavailable" just means that your phone is switched off or out of signal, and "Busy" means you are already in a call. It's nothing to do with the behaviour or features of the phone.
Cheers,
Steve.
Yeah, I'm wondering if the phone is becoming "Unavailable" for some other reason than me being out of range. I have full bars in the house and that's where this all happened.
I've noticed, too, that I didn't get any email (I have it set to check every hour, even hit send/receive after someone told me they sent me something and it still didn't find it until I sent a second email to myself from another address)
Again, I don't know much about phones but it almost seems like the phone has bars but drops off the network for accepting calls/messages until you do something to activate the system again... or something. I dunno, just speculating.
Last week I went in and exchanged my Fuze for a new one since it was still within the 30 days. Up until tonight, I thought the problem was fixed. I was chatting with my wife over IM and she told me that she tried to call but that it just went to voicemail. I asked her to call back and leave a voicemail to see if it would notify me. I also asked her to send me a text. I didn't get notification for either. I checked my data connection by starting up Opera and going to a few sites. So I know that I had a verifiable connection to the network. I called my voicemail and checked the message I knew that she had left. Only after I made the call did I get notifications for the text messages I had missed. I never got any notification for the voicemail or missed calls.
Unfortunately, it seems this is a problem that isn't related to individual hardware as this is my 2nd phone with the same problem. I've also replaced my SIM card since a salesperson at an AT&T store suggested that it might help. I'm running the stock AT&T ROM minus the bloat, so it's not a custom ROM issue either. At this point, I'm not sure what I should do.
The only other thing I can think of that makes me unique is that I currently reside in Washington state but my number is one that I had ported from California. Is there anything about you're (skyau) situation that makes you unique?
Well the same thing happened again tonight. I received text messages 10 minutes late and I didn't get a voicemail notification until I initiated a call. As much as this sucks, I'm hoping it will stay this consistent so that I can have tech support replicate the problem and then try and fix it.
You may have a problem with your phone number. I'd try changing it.
Have you had experience with a problem like this? Is the phone number really the issue?
If that's what the problem actually is, I'm willing to get a new number. But I don't want to change it just to check and see if that fixes it.
same problem! Really pissing me off I just lost a important job because of this issue a few moments ago! Is everyone running a stock rom? I tested a few, now back to stock no apps nothing trying to find this gremlin WTF!
I'm running stock ROM without the bloat.
I exchanged my Fuze (I'm now on my 3rd) on Saturday and changed my phone number yesterday. I'm waiting to see if the issue happens again. If it does, I'll probably do stock ROM, all the bloat, no apps. If there are still problems, I'll probably try different ROMs.
I was able to get AT&T tech support on the line when the problem was occurring luckily. We went through his battery of tests and he verified that there was a problem. It would seem that the phone forgets/loses it's connection to the towers/network. Notifications (calls, texts, voicemails) aren't received until after the phone remembers/reconnects to the network. It remembers/reconnects when you initiate a call or send a text (essentially require the phone to use the network).
The tech told me that as far as he could tell, it was a hardware issue and that I should exchange my phone. So I'm on number 3 now and hoping for the best. I changed my number because I've been in a different state for 2 years and I had no ties to previous area code. So I figured now was as good a time as any to get a full fresh start (phone/number/SIM).
That sucks about losing the job.
Bump, I just realized a few moments ago that my phone rings once and then it says missed call, i always assumed they called me and then hung up after one ring in case i was in class or i was busy so that i could call them back. this is not the case? Also a few cases a call will drop every now a then... is this due to the radio rom i flashed? typical symptoms of a incompatible radio for a specific location? I'm using the .25.35 blackstone radio in ithaca, ny.
Having the same issue. Phone is asleep, then alerts me to a VM. Missed call doesn't show up in missed call list.
Really pissing me off and I think is responsible for my issues with Slide2Answer somehow.
The only time I have missed calls is because of MSVC. If someone calls and it is private or unknown, it will not ring. If it is somebody in my phone book or who doesn't have a private number, the phone will ring.
So I turned MSVC off and the private callers and the unknown callers will ring in.
it happens to me sometimes as well sometimes the d pad area will flash but i cant answer and it wont appear on screen then it wont say missed call.
sometimes if i try to hit the dial button it will also drop connection and instantly pick it up again
annoying but not a huge problem for me
and of course not on stock rom

Can't make outgoing calls. Baseband issue?

Hi, a friend gave me an old LG P500 phone to play around with. It had a stock ROM on it.
I put my SIM in, phone showed I have service but when I try to make calls it won't let me. It just disconnects in less than a second.
So I flashed a custom rom (GSNAP 1.5) to check if that might fix the issue. It didn't, exact same issue.
Phone shows it's connected to my service provider, DATA actually works but can't make outgoing calls.
Any speculations or help?
Thanks!
can you receive calls? if no then probably hardware issue.
Its network issue.. your phone is okay!!
Call network customer care!!
Well I didn't check if I can receive calls...
I don't really care that much as to call my customer service to get it to work. I have a working phone.
This is a friend's phone and he wanted me to get it working.
I guess I'll let him try it with his SIM card. Maybe his will work.
By the way, could it be that the phone might be network locked but it just doesn't say that for some reason?
Tried a different SIM card, didn't solve the issue. Same problem.
I'm not sure it's a service provider issue.
may try flashing the official rom using kdz . might be some issue with the libraries.
I flashed the official V20c with KDZ... Still a similar problem but now it shows a message when trying to make an outgoing call: "Divert Activated"

Call ended right away? Can't make calls

Hello,
I was wondering if anyone is experiencing this weird hang up. When I try to make calls, it automatically ends my call without any rings. I keep trying to call and it keeps ending right after it dials.
I had to restart my phone to finally get it to work. It has happened twice to me now.
Same exact issue here. Rebooting sometimes works, sometimes doesn't. Tried uninstalling Google Voice, same issue. Annoying as heck.
Same issue here, on T-Mobile. I exchanged my original phone because I was having radio issues (phone would not connect to the mobile network), but this problem seems to have carried over. Phone is set to use WiFi calling, I'm wondering if there is a handover issue when I leave my home wireless network.
I'm on T-Mobile as well, in north Dallas area. I do not have mine set to do WiFi calling, as it is guaranteed to drop your call when you leave your house (happens every time to me, so now I don't bother with WiFi calling).
This instant "Call Ended" issue is separate.
Yup, happened to me earlier, i had to turn the phone off for 15 minutes. Im on t-mobile
Solution!
I believe I have figured out how to fix this. Go into Settings, then More..., then make sure Wi-Fi Calling is on, then click on Wi-Fi Calling then make sure you have Cellular preferred selected. After I did this, I was able to make calls with Wi-Fi on or off. Hope this fixes yours too.
Same issue here. Call hangs up right after i hit dial. Tonight even resetting the phone twice didn't solve. Finally after 20 minutes I was able to make a call. So frustrating as I had an important conference call I needed to be on. I ended up texting a few people in the call, and my texts were successfully received, just couldn't call out. So frustrating, but comforting knowing that I am not alone. Think I might return this phone as this is the 5th time this issue has occurred and I've only had the phone for 6 days.

I have same issue. I turned off VoLTE and problem gone. Hope this helps.

Sorry, that is not a fix. I've used that configuration and still ran into the instant call ended problem. Thanks for the suggestion though.

VoLTE (voice over LTE) could actually be the problem - that is a setting that comes pre-enabled and I never disabled it. Makes sense to try disabling it and see if it happens again.
I'll report back in a couple days whether the issue happens again with VoLTE disabled.
Man I really like this phone, but the call ending and camera issue, I had to return it. Damn you sony!

The call ended issue hasn't happened to me since disabling VoLTE. Though I did get a call from my wife when she got off work, which when I swiped to answer, my phone rebooted.. that was fun.

It only happened to me once. Rebooting had no effect, but after turning off LTE everything worked. Makes sense that it would be a VoLTE issue.
you can try fiddling with the network mode settings in the more wireless/network option. the t-mobile rep. got it working again after switching the network preferences from LTE Preferred to GSM. That got calls working again. I believe I switched it back to LTE afterwards and I'm not experiencing any more problems with that error.
Same here. It was totally random as to when and how long it would automatically end calls.
VoLTE settings made no difference. Eventually the problem would return.
I just replaced it at the TMobile store.
Problem Solved!
So, I was having this same problem and reading this forum, I discover that I just need to change the network mode
Go to settings > More... > Mobile Networks > Network Mode
And it probably its marked LTE (only).. Just change it for LTE(preferred)/WCDMA/GSM
I hope it can help you
I have HTC One M7 with cm12.1 and I'm having this issue too!

Outgoing calls not working, static or silence on remote end

Odd problem I'm trying to track down.
My outgoing calls are not working right The other end hears only static or silence, but if they call me, it's perfectly ok.
I've done the following
Rebooted
Toggled Airplane Mode
Toggled Enhanced 4G LTE
Reseated my SIM
Updated my ROM (LineageOS) to the latest (was on December 18 Build, now on Jan 03 Build)
Tried from multiple miles away to attempt to use different cell towers
My phone is a Oneplus 3T, and my carrier is Cricket Wireless.

The incoming calls working fine sounds very weird indeed. Try the SIM in another phone, and a different SIM in this phone, and see what happens.

I have to see if I can find anything to test with. I've had this phone + carrier + sim combination for over two years now. This just started last night.
The fact though that no incoming calls have this issue is what's really throwing me. It makes me think the issue may be some sort of carrier issue.
I'm rooted, so if this is still happening tonight, I'll see if I can also grab a logcat from the timespan in which I place a call.

Suddenly can't make or receive calls

Data, and texting works just fine. I switched to cricket, and up until about 5 pm yesterday calls worked fine, then by 8pm I noticed it wasn't working because I tried to call someone. I didn't do anything modifications during this time. I've since put the sim in s different phone and it still doesn't make calls but data and texting works. I've factory reset and started from scratch, still doesn't work. Changed sim slot, nothing. If anyone has any ides. I've called cricket already and they've escalated the issue but I won't here from them til Monday the earliest. Thank God for those text and call apps. I can make calls with them. I can also make calls with FreedomPop sim. I've attached a log that has me attempting several calls in it. I just don't know what I'm looking at. Any help would be greatly appreciated. And I also checked apn settings several times.
