[Q] Can't make outgoing calls - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Hey everyone...Im been stumped for the past 3 hours now. for some reason, my phone can't make any outgoing calls with my GN, but receives calls. I can send and receive texts, use internet, everything but outgoing calls. I tried swapping SIM cards with my uncles and its the same problem. My SIM will make calls on his blackberry curve, but if he tries making a call with his SIM in my phone, it wont work either. We are both from FIDO, can anyone help me out with this problem. And to add, i was able to make a call this morning fine with no dropping or anything.what happened between 11am and 3PM that i can't make calls?

Do you use a custom kernel?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA App

I have the same problem and yes i have a custom rom too. How do i fix it?

Custom kernel has nothing to do with radio. Why would you be able to flash them separately if they were related?
OP, switch radios. Also, gsm or lte?

agreed. If its lte, you may need to re-activate. *228 then follow prompts.

mine is GSM.

so, is any they any way solve this problem?

HELP: Cannot send SMS, but MMS, phone calls and data is working

Anyone know what may be up with this? When i try to send an SMS it just sits there attempting to send but ends up saying it has failed. no details on why.
Using data on 2g/3g is fine. I have wiped phone and installed new ROMs twice but the deal is the same.... I can still make/receive phone calls, can send/receive MMS, browser on wifi and 2g/3g is good, just no sms. phone status says i'm connected, phone network settings on *#*#4636#*#* says everything is fine, and I have even switched between AUS and AUS2 bands (i am in australia) but to no avail.
Please help!

Maybe your simcard has lost the smsc number? I don't remember how to edit it on the nexus though.
When did you first encounter this problem?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk
I first encountered this around the same time i first flashed revolutionHD, but doubt its directly related. I'll look around for the SMSC I need. Will update
experienced something similar at activation. are you porting your number?
ok you were right, my SMSC disappeared. annoyingly i couldn't put it directly into the phone, as it is complaining that there is an update error, but thankfully i use GoSMS and can tell it to use a custom SMSC and so that works.
As for activation, n i wasn't porting my number, this isn't even a new contract, my boss from my old job bought the phone for me outright as a christmas pressie so it is a direct swap.

[Q] MetroPCS APN settings aren't working

Hello, I bought my zenfone 2(Z00AD) recently and tried to use the SIM card from my other phone which worked on every phone I have owned but oddly enough it will not work at all on the Zenfone 2. All that comes up is the signal bars and and x with no indication of bar signal. I can receive voicemail oddly enough but it will not call, receive calls, texts or data.
Can someone help me with this problem, I have tried many of the apns and it doesn't work.

You have to call Metro PCS and give them your IMEI # so they can provision it onto their service. :good:

Alright, thank you, will do that tomorrow. Was a bit confused because in the past, just put the SIM card in and it worked.
No problem, I had to call my wife's in since she has Metro PCS.
I have At&t and it worked with just installing the sim card but my Speeds are under 9 Mbps D/L and 2 Mbps up

[VS985] cant make calls

I have the Verizon LG G3 variant and as of the last month my calls have been very intermittent. Text and Data (LTE) all work perfectly but I can not make calls nor receive them, though it will work randomly at times. I'm running JazmineROM 7 and have tried reflashing, going to stock, and other roms. Its interesting to note that I sent this phone in a while back to LG and have used it fine for a while, but when I noticed the call problem I visited my Verizon store and it appeared in their system as a non-Verizon phone, however they have since added this phones IMEI to their system and it appears normally as a vs985. I tried replacing the SIM card, which sort of fixed it because before this sending or receiving an mms would cause calls and texts to not work but now texts work fine. Another interesting thing is that my 1x is always 1 bar as you can see in the attatchment provided. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

6.20.502.5 ATT Firmware

Hi All,
Has anyone extracted the the firmware from the RUU? I did a quick search and just saw one with the HBOOT. Also has anyone installed the HTC RUU? Is it any good?
Thanks in advance.
Here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=66871005&postcount=13
Of course wnc and ckpv5 would be involved!
Guess I should have looked a little harder than searching by the numbers!
Many thanks!

If anyone is looking for an already modified version of the 6.20.502.5 firmware. I removed the boot.img and the recovery.img file and replaced the hboot file with one that has no red text. This firmware works fine on the AT&T and Developer's Edition models.
Download here.
Hey everyone in this post,
Please check to make sure that you are receiving voice calls. I just discovered that I can make outgoing calls just fine however ALL incoming calls are going directly to voicemail. I'm going to do a little more research but it looks as though I'll need to revert to an earlier firmware. I'm guessing this has something to do with HD Voice.
A couple more things of note: I'm on the latest version of ARHD which is 53.1 (MM); texts work fine both ways; data is fine; voicemail functions fine. Just to give a little background.

I'm having the same problem. I fiddled with the APN settings and it seemed (I'll try again) to fix that issue. Meaning I manually entered the APN settings and I was able to receive calls. A bit ridiculous.
Edit: It's not the APN Settings that helped. It's actually switching the preferred network from LTE to 3G or maybe even 2G. Haven't checked it on 2G.

I finally got mine working but I have no idea what the magical combination ended up being. I did downgrade to a previous 6.12 firmware but that alone didn't do the trick. I also manually added a new APN in addition to many other things one by one. I was actually on an outgoing call and my line beeped because I had a call waiting! I was so shocked (and pleased) that I hung on the person I was speaking with and answered the call. From then on it has worked fine. Having said that I'm going to sit tight with the phone the way it is until someone much smarter than me lays out a solid plan.
I'm glad you got beyond your problem as well :good:

Are you still able to receive phone calls while on 4G? Any further issues? I asked because ever since upgrading to LP firmware I no longer can receive incoming phone calls while on 4G but I can make calls. I have noticed that while on a call on 4G I can receive calls which is strange. So I have to stay on 3G to receive all incoming calls. Any ideas on a fix? Thanks

Your situation does sound similar to mine. Whatever combination of zany things that happened for me as forced my network into HSPA+ whereas it used to read LTE. I'm not referring to the icon in the status bar (that still reads 4G). If I go into Settings>About>Network>Cellular network type. That's where I see HSPA+, HSPA or HSPAP depending on where I am. My speeds are WAY slower but it's still functional, yet there's something obviously still broken. Since I can receive calls now I've decided to just "live with it" until I come across a proper solution that I know will work. If that day should ever come though, I'll be sure to post back here.
Update:
I am back to my "Cellular network type" displaying "LTE" and my download speeds also confirm this. Below are the additional steps I took to get to this point:
1. In the phone dialer enter *#*#4636#*#* (takes you to a "Phone info" screen)
2. Scroll down to "Set preferred network type" (take note of its current selection in case you need to go back)
3. Using the dropdown, select GSM/WCDMA/LTE auto
That's it. After a few seconds my data icon refreshed and I knew I was good to go. For good measure I went back to Settings>About>Network to verify my Cellular network type. Good luck.

AT&T's deployment of Voice over LTE (which they've branded "HD Voice") does not play well with international-based custom ROMs (basically, most any ROM that is not ATT based). Issues with voice calls is the common symptom.
Best workaround is to call AT&T and ask them to turn off HD Voice for your account (may need to ask for 2nd Tier tech support before you get someone who knows what you are talking about). Yes, you can turn off LTE, but that is obviously not a great option.
Other fixes (APN, firmware) are likely placebo effect at best. Went down a similar path trying to troubleshoot this problem for folks a year ago, before coming to the conclusion (Post #9): http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-htc-one-m8/help/incoming-calls-lte-mode-m8-att-arhd-34-0-t3026710
