[Q] Desparate for help... - Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey people,
Over the last 2 weeks or so, I've been noticing that I would get random voicemails but my phone would never ring. Just a few days ago, I tried calling my wife and I got a force close error from the phone application (com.sec.android.phone...or something like that). Since then I have not been able to call out to anywhere other that 911 and voicemail. I haven't installed anything new other than a new ROM here and there. I've backed up all of my data and reflashed to other ROMs to try to fix the problem but with no luck.
I've had a hunch that it may have started when I was playing zenonia 3 but that game has been on my phone since May and I've played it here and there with no problems...but I noticed yesterday that I guess I was getting an incoming call or something while I was playing the game that the force close message popped up a few times...
If any of you has had a similar issue or just knows of a way to fix it, I would be totally grateful.

Do you use an Airave? Reset it if you do. Otherwise return to stock and check it. If it still does it call Sprint and the will reset your phone and that should fix it. You can try updating Profile before all that if you like.

[Q] Problems with apps & processes crashing!

I've had some problems with my phone recently as it keeps rebooting itself (sometimes when charging and the battery gets hot.. sometimes randomly). When this happened a few months ago it got to a point where almost everything stopped working.. I did a factory reset but no joy so I took it to a phone shop and the guy said he flashed it and everything seemed to work again for another couple weeks then the rebooting started again but less frequently. Its now become a daily thing and today everything has stopped working again.. my call list.. text & emails won't update if a new message comes in I can't see anything in the list. I keep getting a popup telling me that Open Sense Plugin Manager has unexpectedly stopped along a couple of other error messages. I can't install anything either.
Any suggestions on how to solve this? I'm getting more than streesed by this!
Is it still rebooting? You could use an RUU and it might solve the issue but it might not. A bit of hit and miss if you ask me. If it is still rebooting because its getting hot, give HTC a ring.

What's an RUU?
It got to a point last night where it wasn't turning on at all just getting to the T-Mobile screen and then back to the HTC screen continuously. I managed to do a system reboot which stopped the error messages I was getting but it was still doing a number of reboots. Seems to have settled now but obviously there's still an underlying problem there.
Will def be giving HTC a call in a while but want to avoid sending it to them unless absolutely necessary.

Weird problems sending or receiving texts...

I've been having issues where people would sometimes not receive my texts, or that they would receive it only after an unusually long delay. Someone also tried to send me a long text today, but I only got the tail end of it. It doesn't happen often, I've had a few long text sessions without problems, but then again it's hard to keep track off.
A weird thing that happened to me today too was that a particular text from yesterday got resent today right after I rebooted my One V, and What makes it even weirder was that the old text disappeared from the where it was yesterday to when it got sent out today...
I only had it for a couple of days before I rooted it so I don't know if it's because of the fact that I rooted it, though I started to notice it the same day I rooted the phone...
What can I do?
Could it be the JmzOneV4 ROM, does changing the kernel and overclocking affect this as well?

I think you should try your SIM in other phone and check your problem might be issue with your Carrier.
Regarding the Auto Sending of SMS, I was facing that problem sometime ago and have been trying to find why it was so.
A factory reset will solve that problem.
I noticed that there were some GO Launcher themes that caused that problem to occur. (although I m yet
Also, u can use an antivirus. F-Secure recognized that virus and removed it.
I still dont know which app caused that problem though.

[Q] Phone.android crashes on calls

Hello guys,
it's been a long time I'm xperiencing an issue with the phone service.
The phone service suddenly crashes and it is more likely to do this when an incoming call reaches me. Sometimes i get the pop-up message about com.android.phone, more often i don't. The service just reboots.
It doesn't occur very often but still it is annoying, mainly because when service crashes on a incoming call it is not even recorded in the missed call log. I tried to find out some similar threads or other forums but no solution was prompted or the case didn't match with mine. Still, it is a very long time since i'm experiencing this.. today i just decided to see if I'm the only one.
Do you usually experience anything similar? Before asking for solution it would be nice to see if i'm alone with it.
I'm running gingerbread stock rom. I'm rooted.
So guys, is your service process working flawlessly?
I tried to replace the phone.apk with a phone.apk from another GB ROM.
Maybe it is so naive, but it deserved a try. Of course it didn't work, such a workaround was too simple.

[Q] random calls...anyone else have this issue ?

I am not entirely sure if it is an android bug or specifically samsung. Anyway on my s5 and my N4 if I go to make a call occasionally it will say call not sent...when I go to redial the number the phone has already chosen a different contact at random to call...to make the issue worse the screen will then blink on and off in succession preventing me from stopping the random call...this seems to happen once or twice a week...I have already disabled the gesture option that calls people so I am at a loss here...anyone else experience this?
Not an Android bug. I've had it where the phone would try to connect and give up, but the second attempt would go through. That's a reception issue though.
It sounds like your software is glitch in for some reason. Usually a factory reset will fix this (unless you rooted and did something to alter the system, in which case, your alteration could be the cause). If not, then warranty time.

Yes, I have this too. Really annoying, happens every few weeks, and seems to go away after a restart.
Sorry to bring an old thread back to life but, has anyone figured out this problem? This happens on my Verizon Note 4 as well, so it is not carrier specific.
Everywhere else I have searched no one has an answer.
Just usually a call is placed. Then a quick message pops up with "Call not sent". Then another contact gets called instead. For me I don't see any pattern to how the wrong contact gets chosen.
This happened in KitKat and now is happening still in Lollipop.
Also I did a factory reset when I upgraded to Lollipop. Any ideas?
Edit: Just thought about this. Do any of you who have the problem use Google Voice?

Unfixable broken camera and latest updates from ASUS caused more problems than fixes.

I'm running stock rooted 5.0 on the ASUS_Z008D model of the zenphone 2.
This was originally my girlfriends phone, and she used it about 2 months before I started using it. At the end of those months before I took it, the camera completely stopped working. I looked up the few ways to fix it on google but none of the fixes I found worked. I think it's a hardware problem, but I have no idea truthfully. It always says it's running under another app. I have tried disabling and reenabling it, but nope. Nothing.
That isn't as important as the updates caused. I'm stock rooted, but I've had no problems at all updating the OTA updates ASUS sent out. After the latest one a few weeks ago, the phone finally started having problems that annoy me. Often at times, I send or get sent messages from other people, but the phone never receives or sends them. I've tested this using my siblings or freinds' phones right next to me, textng myself, and I never receive them at all. No delays, just never receive them.
Next, the update caused the phone to have a bunch of random reboots, and constant signal deaths. The phone will constantly completely lose signal, and take a few seconds, maybe a minute or two to reconnect. This usually comes with one to three reboots everyday.
Anyone else experience this or am I alone here? I'm thankful for this phone being awesome for budget price, and the fact it's not mine. (I'll be upgrading to the N 5X on release) But I still wanna know if I can fix this phone to save as a backup.

Mate, if there is a problem, unroot the phone and RMA it with the warranty... That warranty is there for a reason...
