Hi folks
I have a Nexus S (i9020a). It has stock 4.1.2 Jelly bean from Google (downloaded the stock image and flashed it). It worked fine for over a month.
Suddenly few days back this device got a problem. When I dial any number I can't hear any dialing sounds and even after the call has connected I can't hear the opposite person and the opposite person also can't hear me (The phone still shows as 'Dialing' though it's already connected). The same is true when I answer any call. Both parties can't hear anything.
This is solved by rebooting the phone for the first phone call only. After I reboot, the 1st phone call works fine, then this problem persists for any calls I make/receive until I reboot the phone again.
I tried flashing a different radio but this problem is still there. I tried my sim card on a different phone and it works fine, so the problem is not that too. My 3G data works just fine.
I need this phone for the next few days/weeks (hopefully not months) before my Nexus 4 gets delivered :laugh:
Thanks..
Edit: Modified the title; Probably gave the wrong meaning that the problem is solved.
<bump> Modified the title. Earlier title gave an impression that the problem is solved whereas I still have a problem.
Have you installed any apps which could somehow affect the dialler?
Unless someone else can give you a different advice, I can't think of any other option than do a full wipe and reflash.
I haven't installed any such apps.
Also, I already did a full wipe and flashed the stock image again. The problem is still there.
Don't know what else you could try, sorry mate - hope someone else can help you sort it out!
Thanks for trying. I think I will go to some hardware shop and see if they can figure out..
Try using a headset for making phone calls so that we can identify if it's really the hardware's problem.

I had similar problem when RAM running out. Usually a reboot fix the problem for a bit.
What I did:
1. With Titanium Backup Pro, froze unused RAM hogging system apps, like Google+, Google play magazine,etc
2. Froze or uninstall Facebook, Word with Friends, etc which are resident and hog RAMs .
3. Install marmite kernel, free up more usable RAMs.
Hope it helps you too.

Thanks for the suggestion!
I tried this too but doesn't work...
Try any custom ROM instead of stock ROM and a different kernel too. There could be chances that you've flashed the wrong ROM / radio too.

Problem solved.
I went to a hardware store today. The guy said that it's a problem with the 3G service of my carrier (Vodafone India). The moment I enabled the '2G only' option in the Mobile networks settings area, this problem was gone. The technician said that this issue is affecting some people randomly. He said that since 3G service was launched just last year, the networks are not yet capable of handling all kinds of devices (he claims that the bug is so erratic that another Nexus S i9020a may work just fine with the very same bootloader/radio/rom which doesn't make any sense). When I said that 3G service was working fine before, he said that most probably my carrier changed some settings on their side which is causing this issue for me.
I have tried this for 6-8 hours now, making a lot of phone calls and it seems that the issue is gone. It saddens me that I am off 3G for now but at least my phone calls and basic EDGE internet works fine. I will have to work with Vodafone to solve this or simply wait for my new phone (Nexus 4) and hope it won't have the same problem..
Hey everyone. I'm having a problem with my network after going into the test menu (*#*#4636#*#*). I'm hoping someone can help me out, and hopefully this will also help others in the future that have the same problem. I haven't seen any other discussion about this for this phone. I am on Verizon Wireless and have a Droid RAZR MAXX HD.
Background: I was helping a friend re-enable 4G LTE on her HTC Thunderbolt, which the store had disabled for her when she first got it because 4G was not yet available in her city. I figured this was done in the test menu, so I went to it from mhy phone to help her set similar settings.
The Problem: Stupidly enough, because I love tinkering with things, I pressed the menu button (...) and pressed the "Set GSM/UMTS Band" button. My two options were "USA Band" and "Cellular". I panicked a bit, then thinking, decided to select "USA Band". When I did that, I was on Verizon Wireless, and I get LTE data. However, I can't make or receive phone calls. My phone won't ring (though it "rings" for the person trying to call me and they get to my voicemail). If I try to call someone else, it hangs perpetually at "dialing". Setting the band to "Cellular" gives me both LTE/1X data and phone calls, but now I'm perpetually stuck on "Extended Network", which I can only imagine is U.S. Cellular in my area.
Normally, this wouldn't be a problem. I can make and receive calls just fine, data works OK. However, I'm afraid that when I travel and (what I think is) U.S. Cellular, I'm going to be in trouble, and not be able to make or receive phone calls. I need to fix this before I travel. I understand that doing a factory reset or SBF to ICS will solve the problem (please confirm if this will fix it?), but that's my ultimate and final solution. I'm not rooted right now so I don't have the luxury of backing up my app data and text messages, and would like to find a different way to fix this first if it exists. I'm hoping I didn't permanently screw up my phone. Any help is appreciated.
I would just backup your phone using my backup or my backup root. Rooting your RAZR HD maxx is very very simple.. I would backup using my backup and restore back to stock ics using matts utility (Google it) and then root, then protect root using ota root keeper from the marketplace and then protect root and unroot in the app. Then install the ota update from Verizon. Then re enable root in the app and make sure to update binaries in superuser. That is very important. Then just protect root and unroot and upgrade to jellybean. Then your problem will be fixed and you will have root on jellybean. If you need me to list it in simpler terms and help you through any of the process, just message me bud. Good luck!

Instead of rooting the device, you might just do a factory reset to resolve this issue... Saves your warranty and rooting won't fix the radio misconfiguration.
Sent from my XT925 using Tapatalk 2
A simpler set of steps are:
1. Backup my phone phone
2. Download matts utility
3. Restore back to ICS using the utility
4. Root using utility
5. Push OTA root keeper app using utility
6. Protect root and unroot
7. Install over the air update (OTA)
8. Enable root and update binaries in app
9. Protect root again and unroot
10. Install JB and re enable root
Rooting is definitely worth the benefits and restoring back to stock firmware is very easy if you need to return it under warranty. I have never had a case where they rejected my warrant because I was rooted. They all go to a factory and are just sbf'd back to stock anyway and repaired hardware wise. I wouldn't worry about it buddy. And another note, all the employees of my Verizon store have their phones rooted and even encouraged me to root mine for obvious reasons. Good luck buddy.

Thanks for the detail, itsdubai. I am aware of how to root, and I had my phone rooted on ICS and I used Voodoo OTA RootKeeper. The step I flubbed was not using "temp unroot". That caused me to lose root even though I thought I had protected it. I wish I had done it correctly the first time because then I wouldn't be so concerned about having to do a factory reset or SBF to ICS. However, the My Backup suggestion has definitely alleviated some of my concerns. The loss of text messages and other unrecoverable data was my biggest issue. I hate losing my app data but I can stomach that.
Do you or does anyone else know about this particular "Set GSM/UMTS Band" problem, and are we 100% sure that a factory reset or SBF back to ICS then OTA update will for sure fix the problem? Is there no other way to fix this without doing one of those things? I imagine that this configuration is set on the ROM somewhere and that Verizon just didn't leave an option to have the right bands active, so I'm just trying to make 100% sure that refreshing the ROM like this will fix it. Even with My Backup, setting a phone back up from factory is frustrating.

I had similar issues when I was playing with a Droid bionic. The only solution I found to fix the signal was to reset to do a factory reset... I saw out actually reset some BP code which I found was really interesting.

Just warning when you play in this setting ... some phone and baseband ... is not restaured with a full restore or reset...
( by exemple the pantech burst ... go to wcdma mode only ... switch back to default with lte... lte never working ... some friend have same problem with different phone ... )
Same problem

Recently i also got into the same situation and the other day i had an early morning flight to catch, so i was in a hurry, i seeked all over the net but didn't got any solution other then flashing the ROM again which was a headache. Here i get you the solution of the same without formating the device !!
Boot your device to bootloader !! Execute following comands these worked on Motorola devices but will work on other too !!
Code:
fastboot devices
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot

Hello,
How & where to run these commands for my OnePlus 2 ?
For OP2, there is a Toolbox which runs in DOS on PC.
Am I supposed to put my phone in Fastboot mode, & then run these commands on the DOS based toolbox ?
Actually, I tried to change Radio Band of my phone, which resulted in one of my 3G SIM not getting detected !
but other LTE sim, is working fine though.

Hi, i have the same problem with my Xperia M4 Aqua. I stupidly pressedat the "Select Radioband" option and moronly select "USABand". Now my phone can't make nor receive a call and only runs in LTE Network.I have read some forums that suggested me to install the MTK Engineering and I have tried to download the MTK Engineering Mode, but it won't also run in my phone, it says that my phone isn't supported. Now i've been so confused.
Is factory reset my device is a wise option and can fix the problem?
did ne1 say chnge it back
Use somthing like xprivacy or that, mine has gsm umst or auto, its in settings using the app root or not, :crying: :good:
Hi everyone,
I recently bought the phone from T-Dimension and it's having some issues and I was wondering if anyone could help me out or if they've run into something similar. The issue is I can't seem to send/receive any calls and I can't send/receive any texts. The bizarre thing is it works for the first 45 seconds when I reboot but then locks me out straight after that. The phone is issued from Hong Kong and had Color OS on it but I flashed CyanogenMod onto it, here's some more information.
- The phone is connected to Amaysim, which runs of the Optus network I believe, so it's connected onto the mobile network just fine.
- The Micro-SIM card I'm using is brand new, it's put in correctly into the slot, meaning upside down facing towards the bottom of the phone, so that's fine.
- I've tested the SIM with other phones and it works perfectly fine.
- When it locks me after 45 seconds, it fluctuates from saying, "Call Not Sent" to just it being stuck on the dialling screen.
- After being locked out, I can't receive any calls either, I've tried calling the phone but nothing shows up.
- After being locked out, I can't receive any messages either, when I try to send a message it just stays stuck in sending, and if I restart the phone, it just says the text failed.
- I've contacted Amaysim Help Desk, and they say my problems lie with the phone being locked, and I'll have to contact the manufacturer to sort it out.
- I've also contacted my supplier, who seems to have trouble finding out the issue.
- APN settings are set correctly with my mobile carrier.
- Already done a factory reset, didn't fix the issue.
- Put the preferred network type to 3G under Mobile Network settings.
- I flashed CyanogenMod 11S using this tutorial from youtube, /watch?v=QDKOEtN9pbo and downloaded the cm-11.0-XNPH22R-bacon-signed.zip file.
Please can anyone help me with issue, sorry for long wall of text, I really want this phone to work!
Cheers,
You probably should flash another modem & then try.Here

Hey there fellow Aussie. See link provided by other member, it should fix you up.

That modem actually proved to be worse for me.. Before I didnt have stable 3G connection.. that modem made my 4G connection worse too. The best, and most stable modem I have found thus far is in the latest nightlies. It is still very very very weak when it comes to 3G connectivity but its better than everything else I have tried. And believe me, I have tried pretty much every rom there is on this forum including XNPH22R, XNPH25R, MahdiRom, CyanHacker, and All the nightlys.
The only one I havent tried is Color OS because I am afraid it will lock my bootloader again.
Hi Everyone
i have an S5 (G900P) and yesterday i had an update to Android MM 6.0.1
Everything works great but the only problem is before the update i had a GSM signal, and After it, it lost the connection and i can`t make or receive calls
Does anyone knows how can i fix it?
I have the same problem....would love for some help too
Are you saying that you're not able to use GSM while traveling internationally? Have you done the basic stuff, like going to Settings=>More Networks=>Mobile Networks and switching the network mode to GSM? Then make sure the roaming settings are correct? Also, it's always a good idea to update the phone's profile (Settings=>System Update) after a firmware update.
Hopefully one of these suggestions fix the issue...

6.0 is a major update , personally i always recomend doing a factory reset after the update to start fresh and avoid problems.
I have a different problem when i go to settings and try to use toolbox or edit my notification panel which no longer displays i get error settings stopped working.
This has happened a dozen times since update a week ago

You can fix it buy going to the dial pad and pressing
*#*#4636#*#*
And going to phone information and edit the signal from there
