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!

On my OnePlus One, my call quality has been funky. I am on the most up to date CM - Cyanogen12.1.1 build LMY48Y. My signal bar shows high, but the person I'm calling says I keep cutting out and they can't hear what I'm saying. I can always hear the other person. This continues for the duration of the call. If I call back, the connection is then perfect (or not - might take a couple more calls). Once connected, my voice either cuts out the whole call or it doesn't. (This doesn't change during the call). My calls never disconnect.
Is this a potential issue with the radio? Maybe during one of the OTA updates, the radio was changed recently? Where's the best place to start? A factory reset, or flashing a new radio? I have not rooted the phone yet, if that makes a difference.
Hello all,
I am making this thread because I am having a really strange and frustrating issue that I am hoping can be solved before I am forced to get rid of my phone. I have a factory unlocked SM-G955U running the most current stock software. Basically my issue is my phone randomly mutes my mic during outgoing calls. I can hear the person on the other end but they can't hear me. Sometimes all I have to do is hang up and call back to fix the issue. Other times, the only way for me to fix the issue is for me to restart my phone. Strangely if I hang up and the other person calls ME back, then the problem is instantly solved. I thought this was limited to actual phone calls, but I had the same issue happen today with and outgoing Whatsapp call as well. I can confirm the problem is 100% isolated to OUTGOING calls and has no effect on incoming calls. I would have to assume this issue is software related and not hardware related given the fact this is only happening randomly on outgoing calls and has never once happened on incoming calls.
Ive done all of the basic troubleshooting and even removed my ultra thin phone case with no change in results.
Any help would be much appreciated thanks!
I have a G8142 with the latest security patches/updates on AT&T.
I'm having a strange issue occur on probably one out of every two or three calls. After about 45-60 seconds of conversation, my mic will cut out. I can still hear the other person clearly. I can end the call (this is not instant - it hangs up for 3 to 5 seconds) and then call the person back and resume conversation normally.
A few notes:
It doesn't matter if I place the call or if I am called
The duration from beginning of call to cutting out fluctuates
My microphone diagnostic indicates it is working properly
The call does not seem to actually drop - it will go on for quite some time (with me able to hear the other person) until someone eventually hangs up
Calling the person back/being called back does not fix the issue (it can happen multiple times in a row with the same person/call sequence)
Signal strength is usually -80 or better
The phone functions flawlessly otherwise. There also don't seem to be any issues or drops with respect to the data connection, and SMS/MMS messages seem to get delivered immediately every time. The phone hasn't been dropped or exposed to any liquid. I have disabled some system apps (like Facebook), but none that seemingly have to do with making phone calls.
I have full bars most of the time. I force 3G+ on the phone, as the 4G+ (LTE) signal is weak in many areas. AFAIK that only affects data rates anyway.
It doesn't seem to happen as much if at all if I put the call in speaker mode. I have not used a bluetooth headset for calls to see if that fixes the issue.
Here's some things I've tried:
Rebooted the phone
Updated my IMEI with AT&T. I'm not sure if they actually did it (they stated it was "already changed") or if it makes a difference. My last phone was an unlocked Nexus 6p and did not have this issue. I did not get a new SIM for this phone.
Double-checked and redownloaded the APN settings.
I haven't tried voice calling through a third-party app, like hangouts or whatsapp, but I assume it would work just fine because it's being transmitted over data.
There is either a GSM/setting issue on my end, a settings issue on AT&T's end, or possibly a hardware issue (like a loose SIM, faulty mic, or bad antenna).
For now I'm at a loss, and any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
*** UPDATE ***
I've tried clearing the phone app cache and making sure that battery optimization is turned off for the app. I'll report back if this seems to fix it in case anyone is having a similar problem.
*** UPDATE 2 ***
That didn't work. Calls still drop intermittently. I've pretty much narrowed it down to a problem with the antenna, AT&T towers not particularly caring for the baseband firmware on this phone, or an issue with the dialer app. Performing calls over data (like Whatsapp/Hangouts/Duo) works flawlessly.
We'll see what happens if the phone app gets an update, or maybe after Sony releases the Oreo update.
For those US XZP users on AT&T or those that were considering buying this model, be aware this issue may affect you.
*** UPDATE 3 ***
Changing the mobile radio to 4G (preferred) instead of forcing 3G seems to have solved the problem.
Hi,
I have not been using my OP6 because of a strange issue with it since OOS 10.3.9 (maybe since May 2021)
This issue is: I can not make nor receive normal call with any provider. but my network bar is full and my 4G internet is running smoothly.
If I try to make a call, it just show the call screen, no calling tone and no waiting tone and the other phone doesn't ring.
If I try to call my OP6 from other phones, it just doesn't connect, no call tone no waiting tone... My OP6 also doesn't show any incoming call.
I'm sure my sim cards are OK, I have tried to put them in a different phone and they can make normal call.
If my sim card slots were broken, I would not have any coverage and my 4G wouldn't work...
I can receive SMS just fine.
anybody can help me?
thank you
I had the same issue, at the end oneplus said, bring it to a service center while there plenty or forum posts in their forums from technician saying it's the network chip, i got a new phone but will attempt to replace that chip once i got my replacement.
You could try other stuff, full wipe, other roms etc.
