I am on Verizon and have CDMA-Less profile enabled. However, my incoming calls (and some outbound calls) are often not working. What i mean by this is that I hear the person on the other end of the line as garbled noise, not necessarily static, but more just jumbled electronic noises. The other person says I sound fine. Hanging up and calling back doesn't resolve the issue. If i voice call over Duo it works. Running latest 9.5.11 and the update still didn't solve the issue. This doesn't occur all of the time, but it is more often than not.
I see no one has replied and my reply won't be much help but let you know I've had my OP7 pro since release on Verizon with no issues at all after the CDMA less setting. Possibly toggle on and off the air plane mode after it happens and try the call back. Just a shot maybe.
Try calling Verizon and get them to sync the account. There might be some configuration error on the billing/technical side. I've seen this work for a couple people who described the same issue you are currently having.
Just an update. I went to Verizon and had a new SIM installed. Did a couple test calls using the phones there without issue. Attempted calling my wife and issue sprung up again calling her S10+. Tested calling their S10+ in the store without issue. Tried calling wife again and had the same problem.
Later went to another Verizon store and could not duplicate the problem, but switched her SIM card anyway.
Did a little research on the S10+ and it seems the problem may be related the phone set to Global vs. LTE/CDMA. Changed her setting to LTE/CDMA and haven't had the issue happen. Calls also seem to sound better too when i call her.
Very strange all around.

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
This is my second G2x and both have exhibited the same behavior. It will dial a number, whether from the phonebook or the dialer itself, and the phone application will say that it is dialing. After 30 seconds or so, and no ringing on the other end of the line, the call ends itself.
I usually have to enable Airplane mode, then disable it, to be able to make a call. sometimes I have to go as far as rebooting the phone completely after which it may or may not work. Incoming calls fail as well so I am missing quite a few calls and texts...but thhe emails and other data messages come through.
Oddly, data works perfectly regardless of whether the phone is having problems calling. This happens in 2g as well as 4g. I have manually selected 2g and could not call and had the same trouble in WCDMA only mode. I thought it was related to Wifi calling but enabling that has no effect.
Any ideas? I am trying my other line to see if that SIM card is having trouble. I just have no other ideas at this point.

happened to me today too. I have had the phone since March 20th and I have too reboot to make it work. No idea what could it be.

I used to have this problem frequently on my MT3G. Since someone else is having this problem on a different phone, I would guess that it's something software related.
Alright, it is happening on both of my lines. It might be a program that I installed so I am loading them back on one at a time to see if can determine which it is. I am looking at either Google Voice or Beautiful Widgets as likely culprits at this time but there is not certainty. I have also avoided installing Facebook and Twitter. I am able to make calls right now. I will see if this keeps working for the next few hours...maybe through to my morning coffee. I really hope it is an application, something I can do without, because it would be pretty bad if it is the phone. My girl just ordered one of these as well since she likes mine so much.

Happened to me twice today, first in the AM and then again around 2200 central time. i recently started using setcpu so not sure if thats an issue or not. anyone find the app responsible?
Yes, it has happened to me too, usually after it is in standby or idle, and this is my second phone. But my second phone not happens as often as the first one. Reboot is the only way I can get it to work. I notice that the signal is very weak only 1 or 2 bars.
That is a very good point to mention...that it is almost always directly after bringing the phone out of standby. Mine just did it again.
Same problem here. I don't even know how many calls or txts I've missed since.
Had this issue with my N1 and I always chalked it up to cruddy radio and/or coverage. I've since had it on my g2x once or maybe twice I think (had g2x for 3 days now), but at least after it timed out I was able to try again and the call would go through. With my N1 it would never recover unless I toggled airplane mode or sometimes even needed to reboot.
I hope there are some improvements in this area, because bad radio was my biggest gripe with my N1, and i really want to love this phone!

I haven't found a thread on this, but then again I didn't do that great a job on searching.
Does anyone else have this issue? I am getting an average 50 Mbps download and about 7 Mbps upload but still get a 1 second lag between hearing the other person and them receiving my end of the conversation. Without wifi calling everything is fine.
If so, anyone have any tips on rectifying or point me in the right direction of the thread containing the info?
I can't even use Wi-Fi calling at all. Incoming calls don't even ring. I just get a voice mail notification.

I get an invalid sim error when set to cellular preferred, but I haven't had any trouble when set to wifi only or wifi preferred. I'm very light on voice usage though. I think there are several server locations, so issues could be regional, or (obviously) device specific. As of a couple days ago there was discussion of a widespread wifi calling outage (on tmobiles support forums I think, google it).
I've got some lag. Hoping it will get better if we ever get that update. It's really annoying since I'll say something...not hear a response... say something else...then accidentally cut into the other persons sentence. Then it turns into a sick game of who can finish the sentence first.
I've noticed the lag as well on wifi calls. I also hear my voice echo in the background when I'm talking to the person. They hear this echo which is delayed by a second or two. And I get crackling sounds pretty often, but I can usually understand the person ok.
I hope the next update TM pushes out fixes this and I hope it comes soon.
My wifi calling was not working at all as of a week ago (I was getting SIM errors) but now it seems to be working fine. No echo or delays here.
The person I am calling sees my wife's name in the caller ID (I guess because she's the primary person on our account?) but that's the only quibble I have.
I can do everything else on it. Text, Place calls, receive text and emails, surf the web. It won't ring calls are going to voicemail. I got a replacement phone from best buy. I have spent 2+ hours with sprint CS resetting and upgrading everything. I'm coming from a S4 that has been wiped.
Has anyone else had this issue? Fix?
Thanks
Phone is completely stock.
Have tried:
Battery Pull
Update Profile, PRL, System update
Did the ##72786# "refresh"
HELP!
Had the same issue where my phone wasn't ringing on calls received. The ##72786# refresh fixed it for me. Has not happened again.
Yeah, i thought maybe I was imagining it but i had like 2 calls go to voicemail from a roadside assistance company i was waiting for call from last night. Thought it was odd but now you say your experiencing it too.

It resets the provisioning on the phone and forces it to re-download the activation settings. Aka kinda like a re-provision.
I'm having the same problem, but only when connected to LTE. Have you tried turning off LTE and seeing if you can get calls? Maybe we have the same issue with our phones/area.
same issue
It's been a while so I assume you resolved the issue.
I have the same issue. Switch to CDMA fixes the issue but then I have no LTE. tried the phone reprovision code. It worked but then stopped working after 1 call.
Same stupid issue
I have this issue and would really appreciate it if someone could share the secret to getting incoming calls.
Issue is with the service provider. In my case Sprint. Turning off Wi-Fi calling and Wi-Fi helps but CDMA only mode for places where there's only 1 to 2 bars for LTE Spark is the solution for now. Call up your provider and let them know about your issue.
I have a Verizon S8+ that I use with my T-mobile sim and since day one about 50% of calls go straight to voicemail. I have tried pretty much everything save for a factory restore. APN settings are correct. In fact they are built-in on the phone. Google doesnt bring much help with this issue. The sim is fine as it works properly on all of my other phones. Any ideas?
These phone calls from people you know or are they unsolicited telemarketers? They've been using software to bypass people's ringers and go straight to voicemail. I get a few of those throughout the week and it's annoying.
try to delete those contacts and put in a different name
I disabled "block unknown callers" and have gotten far less complaints. Odd if this is the reason as the callers mentioned above are known and in my contacts. I'll test for a couple of more days and see if its fixed.
