I had massive problems getting my S3 Frontier to connect for calls. Text and email were no problem. I spend almost a month screwing around with T-Mobile Digit help folks to no avail. Finally, out of the blue, it hooked up. Always figured it was due to some magical switch they threw at TMobile. Apparently thats not the case.
I put a new watch face from GWD on the watch and inadvertently left Debugging on afterwards. Apparently that was all it took! I found this out because, today, I noticed Debugging on and switched it off. Suddenly I couldn't call anymore. Turned it back on and I can.
So if you get a problem making calls on your S3 make sure Debugging is in the ON position. Just a heads up...

So Around 12pm (MST) I stopped receiving texts and found it weird people were asking why I hadn't responded and I thought it was a root or other tool that messed something up.
After trying to do a restart and taking out the battery I finally did a factory reset and got texts from WAY before I rooted my Captivate and everything was stock.
Has anyone run into this problem? And does anyone know if there's a way to reset the communication data (like in the iPhone)?
I've had this problem multiple times. I get MMS messages, and I can send texts, but not receive. Both with my current Captivate and my last one. I called AT&T when I had the old one and they had to reset the routing tables. Well after like 16 hours nothing happened (they said it could take up to 24) so I went and got my Captivate replaced. Put my SIM in, bam. 51 new text messages. It happened last night to me too. Called again, but this time it fixed itself. So give them a call, see what they can do..
It has only happened to me once and that was when I had just gotten the phone. I was told by an at&t rep to take out the sim card for like a minute...I did that and it hasn't happened since. I'm rooted now and no issues, so it's not caused by rooting.
Sent from my Samsung Captivate!!!
This happned to me too but all I had to do is reboot the phone then I was able to send and recieve again.
I noticed at work we sometimes get complete outages in service (we have an AT&T repeater on our roof at HP since we're out in the middle of nowhere and only get Edge) and after leaving work and getting reception I didn't receive any texts.
I shut down the phone, took out the battery, and booted it back up and sure enough about 6 text messages came in. So powering down the phone and just starting it back up didn't do anything but removing the card seemed to do the trick.
I just don't get why it does that :-\
My S3 has been giving me a no sim card issue. It happens when I try to text or make a call. I then have to wait approximately 30 seconds for it to reconnect then try to send the text or make the call again. This is very annoying. So annoying that I am thinking about taking the phone back into verizon and getting a different phone.
I have read others on the net that have had this issue as well. Are there different radios or is there something else I can do to resolve the issue? I like this phone but this 1 issue is ruining it enough to where I am thinking about trading it for a different model.
I got that after having the phone for about a month the first time last night when I received a call. It asked if I wanted to accept my friends call or send to voicemail. Then it started flipping out with no SIM card notification and screen turning off and refusing to stay on. Had to reboot to fix the issue. No idea what, but something went terribly wrong and definitely scared me. Network here gives all sorts of trouble on any 4G phone.
I'm currently using the 3g AT&T Galaxy Watch S2 with a NumberSync on and for whole day, I wasn't able to get any calls.
Whenever someone calls me, it directs to 'this number cannot receive a call.'
It's weird since I can still receive a text message and I can still call from my end, just unable to receive any call, not even a voicemail. (Not getting on my phone and my watch)
And when I disabled the NumberSync, my phone suddenly worked like a charm.
NumberSync has been working nicely until today and I'm wondering what's going on.
Anyone has the same problem as me?
P.S. I talked to AT&T Customer Support for like 2 hours and they were not able to solve the issue. What my rep told me was it seems like an error from the AT&T Service side.
Mine did that too today!!!
So I found a quick fix to this issue, I turned the bluetooth off on my watch (with NumberSync On) and it seems working.
And the watch only says "Connected Remotely AT&T" rather than connected with bluetooth.
BTW, when I tried the combination of Bluetooth on + NumberSync Off, I couldn't get a call. It might have been just one day but at least this combination used to work when I found the problem 3 days ago. Now it just doesn't.. Only option I have for me right now is to completely disconnecting with bluetooth.
I have no Idea why there's a problem between having bluetooth on and getting a call.
This really disturbs me since disconnecting with bluetooth limits a lot of stuff, like I cannot control my phone music on my watch ..
I don't know who's to blame as in AT&T or Samsung but I hope this issue gets fixed.
P.S. I actually got an exchange on my watch thinking it might be a manufacturer error but nope, same problem.

when i have the phone and watch together works great. when my phone is off or away from me i don't new texts and i get old texts from same day and ever a couple days ago.
I have at&t. anyone else have this problem.
I talked to at&t and they said i need to turn Bluetooth off and let the phone stay on network only and after a couple days the watch will start working the right way and i won't get old texts. and don't use Bluetooth.
but what is the point of having it if i can't get notification on the watch from phone
Ok, i just got the watch coming from a Gear S. My Huawei 4g won't send texts or call people using my phones number, it always uses the watches number... is this normal was i just spoiled by the Samsung call and notification forwarding, both in and out messages/calls. Wether BT connected or away from my phone LTE connected...
Plus now i can't send a text with the watch at all, it says message failed, try again. Im sure it worked the day i turned it on..
There are other minor things not working properly.. iv noticed people saying an update screwed the watch up.. what's going on.
