[PROB] Call operation failed

I have a strange problem with my phone... in brief, sometimes when i get to make a call I get the notification above "The operation failed" before initiating the call. of course in this situation if somebody calls me, they will hear that my phone is ringing, but in fact it's not ringing on my side, and I can't know if somebody phoned me.
a soft reset solves the problem, and I can again make calls without problems... until my phone decides to go still without informing me... the only thing that makes me notice is when I get no calls for like 12 hours or more... I then check by calling somebody and get this "Operation failed" damned notification -sometimes only- (which means my phone doesn't go still after a regular period.
at the beginning of this year I asked a question on the Energy thread:

I'm not sure if this was asked already. so here it goes
the normal band icon usually looks like this on my TP
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
but some times it turns into this shape:
a soft-reset fixes the normal icon.
however, I tried different Radios on different Energy ROMs but still the same tiny problem... anybody got a though about it?
ROM: Energy Phoenix2 Dec21
Radio: Raph 1.17.25.9

I don't see an icon change now, but the problem is more than an icon change anyway.
I tried the following, but the problem is still random (not regular):
flashing a stock ROM
flashing another Radio
trying another SIM of another provider
but the problem is still the same...
I recently tried removing the Security Unlock, and now the phone goes still sometimes, which means sometimes the call drops before initiating, but I don't get the "Operation failed" notification any more.
again, a soft reset solves the problem
I can't trust my phone now, especially is that I use it for my work and school... which means my colleagues will be angry with me if they call me but I don't answer.
I would really appreciate any help!
Device: HTC Touch Pro T7272

PS I apologize if you think that this problem is not worth starting a new thread in this development forum.

The Operation Failed
I made a screen shot of this notification and I'm posting it here
Happy New Year to everybody

I feel your pain. I had a very similar problem with my Raphael (on TAEL ROM at time), only difference was anyone making incoming calls did not get ring tone they got phone off message from network. I would get same error message as your image if making call (sms worked sometimes but not always when calls would not)
My problem would occur once a day usually early hours of morning & once resolved once would probably be ok fro rest of day !
I could toggle radio off/on to fix it.
Tried different Settings SIMs, Networks, ROMs, Radios, HardSPL to no avail. I started using another phone for a few days & when I went back to the Raphael for a little playing around it was working 100% normally without issue & still is today (currently acting as modem for internet via GPRS).
Hope you have same luck as me as I found no answers here or googling !

thank you very much for your input.
what I did is to set my calls to forward to my landline phone after 10 seconds of ringing, just to be notified of calls when my phone is in this strange mood... however, I still can't be notified when somebody pays me a missed call, which happens with me often from my family due to that I live abroad.
I understand this is not a common problem, but once it happens, it becomes a pain in the a§.
the guarantee is supposed to expire after 3 months, but I still don't know how to explain this problem to them, since it's not happening on a regular time line.
I hope I'm not going to have to send it for repairing, as I believe this is a problem that can be solved easily... I just need to be pointed in the right direction

Use another phone for 5 days with current SIM, reflash SPL,ROM, radio ROM, give it a break for the 5 days then load it up & see what happens !
If you seill get no joy get it in to service before it is too late.
take it in when it is playing up, push for a replacement rather than repair as short warranty would not give you fair chance to evaluate repair & most repairs shops would only flash ROM as first step unless fortunate enough to encounter issues during short test after ROM flash.
Good luck, mines still working fine at moment !

[Issue] Strange No call "Answer" button only "End Call"

Screen shot of what I mean
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

}
So basically when I got the phone after a few days it started happening... out of the box, no rooting/play around sense 3 all intact.
Randomly, it just lets me accept some calls and for other I only have one option "end call" (or just let it ring). There is no hardware button on sensation obv.
then I reset the phone to factory from the boot loader. and the problem came back after a while.
I reset again, used temp root now, I'm using "go launcher" i don't have lots of apps, i run it light so save on ram and battery (hence "go launcher" and no "sense 3.0") and the problem is back. So we know its not Sense. It must be gingerbread.
Ive tired fast boot and everything.
one thing ive installed consistently through every scenario is "google voice", i really love it. I will try uninstalling it if anyone thinks its plausible. I think its just gingerbread messin around. I googled the issue and this is all i could find..
http://code.google.com/p/synergy-thunderbolt/issues/detail?id=24
sounds like the guy has the same issue but I cant find a correlation.

Isn't that the call connected screen? Odd that it shows that

nah, its ringing at the moment. I cant accept the call... LOL

I had the same thing happen today - I couldnt answer the call for the life of me - Glad its not just me - But its BAD - My Dads in the Hospital and I dont want to miss a call...

Do you use the ear piece that came with it? and did it happen when u were using it? also if it happens are u able to accepts call with it?

It happened to me with no ear piece in - Brother called my phone and I had no way to answer it - I was pressing everywhere - Nothing but end call was an option.
(And before someone thinks it, it was not answered, phone was ringing... and ringing...)

Yea, same problem as mine, so this confirms it. One more question, do u have any phone/text/caller id applications installed?
Mr. Number has this issue Im told, but ive never used it.
I do have "Google Voice" but i dont think thats it. Im just trying to find a correlation, something must have happened to both our phones to act this way.

I have the same issue.
Sometimes it does it and sometimes it doesn't it's wierd.
I really hate having to decline a call on someone because the call answer software fails... it makes my phone look like a piece of crap.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5wLDyB8VNQE
video of Problem!!!

When you guys see that screen, can you hit the speakerphone button? It is odd, I never had that problem with mine.

This happens to me sometimes too. No idea why.

My wife just asked me the same thing today - so both our phones have had this - I called her and she couldnt answer so she called me back and said "I Had no answer option, just end call"
So it appears to be an issue around - and shes as close to stock as you can be - never temp rooted.

Ok just got a replacement phone in the mail.
For (call answering problem and dust under screen).
booted up, Factory reset just to make sure I was starting from scratch
and bam! got the call answering problem on the first call....
WTF!!!!
Update!!
Factory reset from Hboot and everything seems to be fine now..
I really think its an app thats doing this...

I have this problem almost all the time. Some times a reboot will help.
Has anyone found out the cause of this problem?

Wipe device if a specific unlock code is entered?

So, my country have absolutely lost their minds after 6 years of hard-right power. Privacy is dead.
I am looking for a way to set up an android device such that if a specific unlock pin is entered, it will immediately wipe internal storage + SD card.
I have tried tools like Cerberus App etc, which is great once someone has your device and is gone - you can do a lot of things remotely or via SMS but I am looking for a solution that will work in person with the goons standing over you.
If anyone has any ideas, I'm all ears.
See article below for reference.

There was a time I wanted to visit Australia.
That time is gone... they've went nuts and freedom is history now.
I would encrypt to internal memory and SD card.
A better idea might be to stash the data in the cloud. Swallow the SD card... getting the hell out of there seems like the best plan.

You are right, and it just gets worse every day. We're like the petri dish for NWO/WEF BS - they try everything here first to see how the people will react.
I'm not opposed to just leaving my phone behind and buying a temporary device to use whilst overseas. To be honest this seems like the best solution, but I would dearly love to provide the unlock code for my device and watch their faces as it does a HCF and they can no longer creep on my photos and conversations.

Question Galaxy Watch 4 Classic update issues

The October 10th update seems to have bricked my watch after a reboot, Is anyone else having issues with this update?

Can you please give more details?
A
Model Name like:
SM-R870 or SM-R875F or?
B
Status of device?
What means "bricked" in your case?
You can do Factory Reset and start from scratch?
Best Regards

Sorry for the vagueness..
Model SM-R890
I took the update from October R8xxXXU1GVI3 unsure of the exact version
The problem:
I allowed the update and as the day progressed the watch was not responding well for example the transition/swipe to the calendar tile seemed to glitch by showing the appointment and then displaying black, I was able to swipe off back to the time tile and throughout the day it kept showing the notification shade when I would raise to wake. I decided to restart the watch. When I pressed the power button to restart it would not boot.
I let the watch charge overnight and tried to power it on again by pressing the power button, I then watched a few videos to try to get into fast boot, but nothing worked.

If I understand correct.
At the moment dead or halfdead... only black screen...
A
NO Fastboot
Be carefully...
B
We have only 2 Hardware Keys...
Hard Reset work for instance with hold BOTH Keys for few Seconds...
C
You can try on Charger... to hold both keys... to see if any kind of life sign...
D
If still black Screen... No power on...
Chance is very low to repair alone at home...
Contact Samsung Service for Repair.
Best Regards

That is all correct.... I contacted Samsung Service the repair is 285 but they wanted me to trade the watch in and upgrade to the watch 5 pro for $200 I am not a happy customer

I've had 0 issues after the update.

Yeah I had issues updating, I had to try it three times, and now I have an issue where the screen almost never turns off and causes extreme battery drain as a result.

After update i get quick battery drain.Connection issue and today after restart my watch stuck in odin.

My battery died and the watch now seems to be bricked too... I also did the Oct undated. Don't think I had reset since the update was done....
Doesn't show any signs of charging even though the power share on my Note 20phone tells me it is charging. Tried various methods of charging and nothing.
Tried several different reset/hard rest methods and nothing... If this is a firmware issue then the only way we will get any results is to band together to get some results....

I have the SM-R890
The update went fine, and have been using it for about a week and a half.
The the battery seemed to die (while on the charging Puck) And it wont rest or even hard reset. Nothing.
Will try a new battery to see if it does anything...

My watch got bricked too yesterday
I have SM-R870 CHC come from China, after R870ZCU1GVI3 Oct 14 update my watch have been using well until yesterday I restarted the watch.
All symptoms are the same as you mentioned above, no lifesign

Thanks for your advice
I have already tried this method but nothing happened, not even Samsung logo appears
I plan to send it to Samsung service for repair.

Now I have more similar bricked cases from coolapk, their common behavior cann't connect to phone, keeping a black screen and there is no vibration while connecting to charger.One of them refered that his watch have been using well for a week after updated, one day watch suddenly vibrated then got bricked.
I asked them if they could press down the power key and back key at the same time to make hard set.Unfortunately, still no lifesign
There must be some problems in this version of the firmware, until now Samsung didn‘t issue announcements about it.
My English isn't all that good, it may be difficult to understand

Please direct them here so that we can come up with a way forward with everyone together. Otherwise Samsung will try to screw us....

We come from China, some of them may not know XDA...
I will try to translate new cases as much as possible to English then post here

Same issue, Galaxy Watch 4 bricked after manual power off no power on anymore. It's clear Samsung fault and wty MUST be extended by Samsung for all of you who has 1 year wty only! In my case I have 2 years. Nothing power them anymore even unplug battery doesn't help so nothing help at all. Bricked by Samsung wrong software R89xXXU1GVI3 and Samsung is fully responsible!

Someone Logged into my stolen phone!!!

So someone decided to steal a broken phone belonging to me. The screen was smashed & im pretty sure it wouldn’t turn on, I couldn’t feel it viberate when powering on, but unsure if even powered.
Now since then I logged into the Google account & seen the device was active yesterday on a known network, I couldn’t see the name.
No SIM cards or sim tray in the phone for mobile data.
Passcode to enter the phone was my name.
Is it possible that someone powered the phone on with the broken screen there for it connected to a known network? Even possible to power on a phone with. Broken screen? Phone need to be unlocked to connect to Wi-Fi?
I am dumbfounded.
Samsung Galaxy A03Core.

As long as the SOC is intact anything is possible...

Well I know it is due to recent activity, Im absolutely sickened. Issue I have is when I last had access to it, it wouldn’t even light up when plugged into PC.
Now it’s stolen & recently active…

Some ejit replaced screen & either got in via passcode & or the Device connected to known network? Only possibility I can imagine?

why don't you ERASE DEVICE from google?

How was it stolen? Contact the police if so or if accessing your account. FBI complaint as well if needed.
Oh well... live and learn.

Yes it's doable. See what free legal avenues are available to you where you are. I would leave it be as such until you do that. Best if you can find and prosecute the offender. Hammer 'em.
Secure bank accounts etc. now. Change email address and passwords.

no need for screen unlock to connect to known wifi. it's possible to mirror screen to tv and control phone with mouse and keyboard, though

@alecxs Is that a frame buffer device there?
Which devices support a frame buffer with mirroring without doing anything?
I presume that it's not just a Type C alt mode?

Thanks for the informative reply’s il get it back somehow.

There's lots of sites saying that if it supports USB 3.1 then it supports video.
OTOH, Qualcomm has tons of USB 3.1 processors and DisplayPort alt-mode only came in on the SDM835, SDM845.
I've tried using an HDMI adapter on my SDM636 (USB 3.1) and it doesn't work.
I've no idea if the adapter converts from DisplayPort to HDMI or whether it uses HDMI alt-mode.
