I'm going slightly insane. I cannot call anyone or be called with this phone. The call doesn't connect. Simply keeps saying "calling". Eventually it hangs up. When people call me it goes straight to voicemail. This is ridiculous.
I've tried resetting, safe mode, 5th of december update, clearing cache of phone app, getting into the beta phone app program, turning off adaptive battery and all that stuff. Does not work.
Only a reboot fixes it for at most an hour.
I got my phone from the German store and I'm using it with a Dutch mobile provider, Tele2.

I wonder if anyone has seen this. Once every few days, I would look at my phone and find that the phone appeared to be starting up. I would see the no cell service icon, it would eventually connect after a minute or so. Then media scanner will start. Even notifications that I previously cleared will popup again. However, it was not a full restart since I never heard the phone startup sound.
Yes, I have had the exact same problem, it happened today. Today was the second time it has happened in just over a months time. I was at the gym and I got a phone call, didn't wanna answer so I rejected it and the person left a voicemail. Minutes after that, I experienced what you described.
Even after deleting the voice message, the voicemail icon still showed up in the notification bar and the phone kept reloading itself.
The phone would not even get to a point where I could use it, it stayed in a loop of reloading.
My issue may have been different, but I pinpointed it to the SIM card.
Here's the steps I took to resolve that issue, which resolved the "rebooting":
Put my SIM card into my old GoPhone (any ATT or unlocked phone should do)
Called my number from my landline and left a voice message
Called my voicemail from the GoPhone
Deleted my new voicemail
Put the SIM card back into the Captivate and it worked just fine
That same situation happened to me this morning. I was in the car and had pandora playing. Then it just stopped in the middle of a song and did what you described - I also didn't hear the start up sound, just saw the media scanner running and the no signal icon. After everything finished, I was able to start pandora back up. Phone has been running fine since. Strange.

When this happens, I also lost the bluetooth connection to my car. It appeared the bluetooth device was still paired but I couldn't connect to it. I had to unpair and pair it again. I also had to go through the initial screen of Vlingo again when I started it up.
I just had this happen an hour or so ago and have seen it multiple times before... for what it's worth.

I've had my triumph about 2 months and it worked great til now. But last night I turned my triumph off and back on, and as soon as it booted up, it asked me to activate again. But I was still able to make phone calls out. I checked with virginmobile and they said my phone is fully activated and gave me the procedure to edit my activation to get it activated again. I went through that procedure and the phone rebooted, but it still asks me to activate. When I click activate on the phone it says "searching for network 1 2 3" then says error and asks me to call virginmobile. I'm still able to use the internet and make phone calls out so I think it's a problem with the phone, not my virginmobile service. Anyone know how to fix this problem?
My Dad has the same problem with his. Try a factory reset.
Factory restore totally worked! here's the instructions I used https://motorola-global-portal.cust...a-triumph---master-reset-/-factory-data-reset
if you leave for few minutes it disappears by itself. no need to go thru activation process.
it lasted over 24 hours for me
Mine started doing this after I used Titanium Backup to remove some of the stock bloatware apps. I left the Activation app alone. As soon as I rebooted, and now every time I boot the phone, it asks me to activate. I just hit 'Home' and then clear the notifcations. It doesn't come back again until I reboot.
Mine started doing this today. I wonder if they did some kind of update. I have not installed any apps in a few weeks. I also reboot every am due to a bad memory drain.

After installing Liquid Smooth RC7/8/9 I was having problems where after a day of updating apps, restarting phone, etc, I wouldn't be able to take calls anymore.
My phone would ring, but when I swyped to answer, com.android.phone would force close and hang up, giving the caller busy signal. What was worse, I would have NO call log of who called, which sucked if I got a call while at work and unable to see who was calling on the screen.
I tried numerous factory resets and it would happen again, no matter how few apps I installed (1 at a time), I cleaned my contact list out on the PC after logging into my gmail account, deleting multi-entries where importing had overlapped/doubled/quadrupled contacts in the vcf file, cluttering my phone.
Cleared cache, fixed permissions, rebooted.
Finally I uninstalled facebook app after reading that contacts from social network, rebooted.
Still was getting error of android phone stopped working.
I think i boiled it down to the radio/network acquisition on reboots.... Only thing that seemed to work now was taking out my sim card, putting it back in and going to Mobile Network settings and putting it back to LTE GSM/WCDMA under network mode, reselecting my NEtwork Operator and Access Point Names..
Really annoying problem because I don't know if it's rebooting the phone that causes this, apps installed in combination with the contacts list, or what.
Thought this might help some people in case they were experiencing similar things.
Curious...
It sounds like a sync error of some sort with your contacts... it can be from the app side or from the Google side...
If you don't then possibly the sync services are jammed up on the phone app.
Goto Manage Apps>All Apps>Phone and clear the data for the Phone and reboot...
A lot of times it is the Facebook issue...
Hope that helps...

Yeah It is bizzare... I uninstalled facebook and left contacts alone to eliminate this from the equation.
On reboots, sometimes when I'm trying to select network carrier , it takes FOREVER to load the different carriers... I've come to the conclusion that if it takes forever to load/see the phone carrier options, chances are the com.android.phone will crash AND/OR it will work but i won't get call volume (neither phone can hear volume from the other) sometimes even when com.phone.android doesn't crash when phone rings.
Im thinking it's almost hardware related with the radios inside interfering or something...
I just had the original problem, reboot the phone, reselect the carrier (no delay/lag) and everythign works again.
I tried toggles up at the top after reading some stuff about how the GPS toggle has to be on/off ... when Wi-fi is toggled on, my cell-tower reception bars AND wi-fi icon are blue.. when WiFi is disabled, those reception bars turn grey... I thought this had something to do with it also, but it doesnt.. I'm getting calls with volume and no crashes now regardless of whether wi-fi is on/off or whether the phone is plugged in to the charger or not.
Right now, it's based on whether or not my phone boots in a "good" or "bad" mood it seems... very tempermental. I'm not blaming the Rom.. but it definitely seems to be carrier/hardware related that is causing the software (phone app) to go bonkers. I'm going to go back to installing my apps again for the 9000th time/factory reset.
So, this is bit of a new issue, one I've not had before. I wish Hangouts/Messenger still had the Service Center ID in the settings in order to fix this, but, in the long/short run...
I unboxed my pixel and put my SIM in, started the phone. LTE/UMTS work perfect, locked right on, good signal/speeds, can place/receive calls, all is right in the world? I noticed after an hour I hadn't received any texts, and after feeling very unimportant, I sent a SMS to a friend, and got an immediate error. Out of curiosity, I went into the INFO settings (*#*#3646#*#*) and went into the SMSC settings. pressed refresh, which, populated an error. I manually typed mine, hit update, went back to hangouts, and voila!
The next day, I restarted the phone ( I like to do this often. I am also this user who actually turns their phone off from time to time ) and noticed upon restart, the problem resurfaced, like as if I never updated it to begin with.
Is this occurring with anyone else? I've yet to see a phone completely dump it. I'd prefer not to download another SMS application really, but, it's just inconvenient those few times I do restart it that I lose that SMSC number...
I'm having the problem as well but still haven't been able to fix it with the same procedure you did. It's driving me nuts.
UPDATE EDIT: I just realized the Wifi is interfering with it. As soon as I turned off the wifi, the txt would go out.
I'm having this same issue. I've contacted support about it, but haven't gotten a response yet (they said I would have an update yesterday).
If I manually put the SMSC in, and then Update, I can send texts briefly, but eventually I start getting an error 38 instead. A reboot and then manually entering the SMSC again allows me to send texts again.

I'm curious if setting your mobile data to always-on would be a functional workaround to help until they can get this fixed for real. Have you tried that?
First this is a rant, and I have seen multiple threads with some of the same problems.
1. Day one (right after unboxing) when I first powered on the device, I could not hear the other person on the phone. I tried calling multiple times, I even called on facebook messenger, they could hear me, but I could not hear them. The only way for me to get around this was to reboot my phone. This went away for a little bit, but has been happening again and again more frequently now.
2. BT will randomly switch from headset/stereo to phone speaker without any warning. Just a simple swap from talking to someone over BT and then thinking they hung up or disconnected, only finding out that it decided to swap from BT to phone. Incredibly annoying, and I have even lost some business calls from it.
3. Stock messaging app does not work. It wont send or receive messages. I have to use another 3rd party app to send and receive my text.
4. I am constantly getting notifications that there is a problem with getting my voicemails. Now I lose calls due to the BT failure, and now I do not get the voicemails when they try to all back.
5. Apps will not install. It will download them but it freezes at the install portion, I have tried clearing everything-cache and what not, and only way to get around this is to reboot the phone again. really annoying when I want to install an app, I have to reboot my phone. Although I have had the same problems with my Note 8, So it is most likely a google issue.
Any one have any ideas on these? I am going to try and talk with TMO but odds are they will tell me to do a system reset.
Thanks.
Have you tried reflashing stock and a factory reset?
I would also suggest the factory reset.
However, I have been having issues with the play store this evening installing apps just as you mentioned. Cleared the cache and rebooted, everything installed fine then.
