I've been seeing this problem for a few weeks now, with several different ROMs, including the original rooted stock ROM now. In nearly all of my recent calls, I get disconnected one or more times with the message "Call disconnected" and a "Dismiss" button. I'm thinking that this is because of my EVO and not the other side, since usually if they accidentally hang up or something the call just ends without a message box. As far as I can tell, I have good reception (at least according to the bars), and this is happening at home, where I've not had the problem before.
Does anyone know what could be causing this? My wife's EVO is not rooted, and she does not seem to be having this problem. But then again, I've not had the problem until fairly recently either. I've tried updating my profile and PRL with each new ROM, but it doesn't seem to have made a difference. Anyone have any suggestions as to how to stop this from happening?
Go into the settings menu andbupdate both your PRL and your profile. That *should* help with reception related issues.

Unfortunately, I've tried both of those things. I just did some testing today, and it seems that my phone is unable to stay connected during a phone call for more than five minutes before disconnecting, even if I don't touch the phone and just leave it sitting on a table.
Any other ideas? As far as I know, I haven't ever flashed my radio away from its default (2.15.00.11.19), and I'm currently using the leaked stock gingerbread ROM (build number 4.12.651.1 CL41771 release-keys and kernel 2.6.35.10-gaa602b7 [email protected] #1).
Maybe it's time to unroot and contact Sprint?
You can try downgrading from 2.15.00.11.19 to 2.15.00.09.01. You can download it from http://www.mediafire.com/file/jyedjkp1bm5amwm/EVO_Radio_2.15.00.09.01.zip
Afterwards, go into recovery, wipe cache & dalvik cache then flash the zip. You will be taken to the radio update screen and appear to hang. don't worry or get impatient. After it is finished, you will reboot into recovery and see the words "clearing cache" at the top of the screen. Simply select reboot and then you will boot to your homescreen. The initial boot will take a tad longer since it will be rebuilding the dalvik.
Hmm... I'm hesitant to downgrade my radio because my wife has an EVO with the same radio version number and hers doesn't have this problem. Granted, she is not rooted...
I understand. I've downgraded and upgraded everything several times for testing purposes and troubleshooting purposes and have never had a problem. The only hing about flashing radios is patience and not to pull the battery. Anyway, you can always call Sprint and see if they can troubleshoot it for you from their end.

I would contact sprint @ 877-809-6696 (advanced tech supp). Ask them to push a full reprovision to your device. See if that helps any. I was having issues when when on the airave, I was unable to receive incoming calls. This corrected it. I did try all the other steps listed above without any success.
This is interesting. I unrooted to test things out before calling Sprint, and the problem went away. I was able to stay connected for an hour (where before I couldn't last longer than 10-15 minutes). Yay, fixed, right? So, I rooted again and didn't install any ROMs or anything, just rooted, and the problem came back.
So, I have a solution, but I don't like it very much because it means I need to stay unrooted. Anyone have any idea why simply rooting the phone with Unrevoked 3 (and doing nothing else) could cause calls to disconnect? I'd love to be able to root again, but I can't deal with a phone that randomly disconnects all the time.
I am interested in this as well as I am rooted using unrevoked and get disconnected as well. I do find that it mainly happens though talking to people who have service on AT&T.. Quite wierd. All I hear is a beep then disconnected. This happens when I first place a call and it rings once or twice then beep, disconnected...
This may not be related to rooting. I'm still communicating with Sprint about this issue, and along they way they replaced my phone entirely, and the problem is still happening. Very frustrating, but it makes it very clear that the problem actually has nothing to do with the hardware. I'm pretty sure there is some network configuration problem on their end now. I'm waiting to root my new phone until this issue has been resolved. It is killing me!

So whats the final call on this ..?
Is it Rooting , Is it network .. i am too getting psyche with this .
I'm pretty sure it is not rooting. But I don't yet know for certain what it is. Sprint thought there might be something wrong with the antenna on my phone, but they had already replaced the phone, so I think that is unlikely. They gave me a femtocell range extender to use in my house. Basically, I plug it into my broadband connection, and it is like having a mini cell tower in my house, giving me a very strong connection. Sure enough, when connected to that, I haven't had any calls drop. However, my phone still sometimes doesn't connect to the femtocell and instead connects to some other tower for some reason. My wife's phone doesn't do this, so I still think there is something wrong with my phone. I may contact Sprint again about this. ...sigh...
What is your area some area evo don't work properly like on rahim yar khan in this time connection don't work properly some signal drop and some time up i sure after few day signal work properly then problems will be solve.
My phone EVO is doing this now as well. Has anyone heard/read a solution?

I am having the same issue, out of the blue. No problems up until a few days ago. I'm wondering if it is maybe an issue with a certain version of the Evo. I have a version 002. Thoughts?
Greg_99 any progress on what might be causing this issue?
I have only had this problem in the past 6 months. Almost every time I'm on the phone talking with someone my voice will cut out and the other person won't be able to hear what I'm saying but I can hear everything they are saying. Doesn't matter if I initiate the call or receive it. I don't think this is considered a drop call and I have excellent connection to Sprint towers in my area. I have upgraded to EC05 and even tried the latest EE03 baseband build and I am still having this problem. Has anyone else encountered this problem or have a possible solution? It doesn't matter if I'm on an official android firmware or using a custom ROM, I still get the same problem. Thanks in advance.
Currently using UrbanFuryOC to 1.3GHz with EE05 modem
Hey there everyone, so since i flashed the CM10 nightly from the 24th, wifi has been nearly completely broken for me. You may have seen my posts where i described how my phone barely ever manages to load anything over wifi and when it does, it does so intermittently and at an extremely slow pace. This renders wifi pretty much useless on my phone. Mobile data IS working though.
Now, i first thought it might just be an issue with the nightly i was using, but this issue persisted on the nightlies from the 25th and 26th of this month (which i did full wipes between). So then, since i wanted to stay with Jelly Bean, i decided to try out Tgascoignes AOSP Jelly Bean (another full wipe here), but then this same issue was there as well. Then, i figured i'd try the first Jelly Bean CM10 nightly, since everything was working great on that one, but then this issue with wifi was still there.
So then i thought it must be an issue with Jelly Bean, so i went back to the most trustworthy and stable ROM i have used so far - One Maximus V2.1 with ICS. Then, this issue still persisted.
So, the tl;dr version of this is, wifi isn't working on any ROM for me and i can't seem to do anything to fix it and i really need some help with this. Do you guys think it might be a hardware issue? My router has been working perfectly for other wireless devices in my house. What plan of action would you recommend? Any help will be very very highly appreciated.
Also, the reason that i'm posting this as a new thread is because this isn't the same wifi antenna problem that has been documented a lot in the other thread. My wifi reception doesn't improve or vary depending on where i press on my phone and that's not the issue at all. If this post still doesn't deserve it's own thread then mods, please remove it and i will ask for help elsewhere.
The most complete restore would be to fastboot oem lock and.run the RUU for your device.
If that doesn't fix it, I don't know what will and neither will HTC I suspect, they'll likely replace the motherboard.

Well, i fully restored my phone back to stock and the issue is still persisting . Mobile data is also being really weird now even though i have set the correct APNs.
I also can't update my phone from the 1.29 firmware to the 2.17 base firmware because my carrier (Virgin) hasn't bothered to put any effort towards pushing out an update.
I think i will have to claim the warranty for my phone through Virgin and hope that they don't notice that it has been re-locked as other people have had such luck too.
Does anyone else have any other ideas about this?
I had a similar problem with my sensation after flashing some custom ( & official roms not meant for my region). Try WIFIX, somewhere in the forums. This could be a WiFi radio region code problem

just do it through virgin - in uk its the retailers responsibility to repair, replace or refund it if they can't prove that the fault was caused by you unlocking it etc.. (if before 6 months after purchase)
I don't know how this has happened now but I had a feeling that there was something wrong with the WiFi antenna of my phone, so I squeezed it really tight at the top left corner where the WiFi antenna is located (as seen in the WiFi faults thread) and now all of the issues mentioned above have been fixed . I have no idea if it was just pure luck and coincidence but now my phone is working normally again. If it wasn't a coincidence, then I really hope that this issue doesn't come up again.
I feel very lucky either way right now! No more need to worry about warranty issues and such . Thanks anyway to you guys for replying though, it's good that this forum chips in to help out those that are in need of help!
Dammit i have no idea what is wrong with my phone. Wifi and mobile data were working fine for a day and a half on the stock ROM, so then i decided to re-root and flash some custom ROMs again and this annoying wifi issue is back now :S. Why would this even happen? I am honestly at such a loss with this. Does anyone have any ideas about what's going on?
Hell everyone,
I recently rooted my phone and installed LiquidSmooth on my AT&T Samsung S3. About three days into using the ROM, I notice some connection problem between my phone and AT&T's network. The problem I experienced was I wouldn't receive texts or calls from other people even though the phone is connected to the network. When I do receive the texts, they come all at once at the same exact moment. Which means my notification ringtone going off like crazy.
This problem usually occurs at night around 9-12PM. I also experienced the same exact problem when I first started using CM10, the stable build. The one thing I also noticed after installing both ROM's is there's no voicemail number. I had to manually add a voicemail number, which is my own number, right?
I decided to unroot my phone and run Samsung's newly released JB update, which totally blows besides the battery life. As of right now with the unrooted phone and Sammy's updates, everything is running fine.
Thanks very much, I appreciate any help I get from you guys. And, I do want to apologize in advance if this question had already been asked. I tried searching, but couldn't find anything on the subject. If you guys need anymore details, please do not hesitate to ask. I will try my best to provide as much detail as possible. Thanks once again.
First of all I searched and didn't see anything on this, sorry if I missed it.
I am having a issue with my S3, it seems it randomly stops receiving calls and sms. The phone is only a week old and it has happened twice already.
A simple restart seems to fix this issue however I would prefer to have a device that I don't need to worry about restating daily to ensure I am getting my calls.

Non Rooted - UCDLK3
Any help would be great & thanks in advance.
you didn't search properly, as there is a thread about this already. it is a known issue on AT&T's end, so everyone experiencing this problem needs to wait for them to fix it.
It is a problem with LTE service, using only 3G is the only current fix to this.
