[Q] Phone Doesn't Ring When Receiving A Call

Hey Everyone! So I'm having this problem where my phone will NOT ring or show that someone is even calling. The only way I found out that someone called me is when they text me asking why I didn't answer them. Well, my simple answer (that people are starting to not believe) is that my phone didn't even show that someone was calling... This wasn't so much an issue before because they could always text me if they needed to get a hold of me. But now after to applying to many places for a job, I kinda need it to ring. I also have another issue and that is that texts will not receive either. The only way I can get them is through Google Voice. This wasn't such a big deal to me but I would like to know if that can be fixed too. I have never had this issue until after I tried CM9. Since then I have tried many other ROMs to see if i still had this issue. I did.
The other ROMs I tried are:
MIUI v4
AOKP
Clean GB
Marcusant v3
MIUI Gingerbread
CM7
Legendary
What my current setup is:
ROM: AOKP
Android version: 4.0.3
Baseband Version: S700.0.5S.EI22
Kernel Version: [email protected] #6
Build Number: IML74K
Mod Version: aokp_epicmtd_build-28
Theme: NONE
PLEASE!!! ANY HELP IS APPRECIATED!

Odin back to stock EL30. Follow the procedure in the How to restore a semi-bricked Epic thread. Test it there. If it works root and flash, do not restore data.

I did this and (sorry for taking so long to get back to you but i wanted to make sure that it was happening often and not just once in a while) it worked for the phone ringing but the messaging, although im receiving them, they come late. sometimes VERY late like a whole day later. This is not cool and would really like to find a solution because i dont want to have to be stuck on stock :'( Oh yeah btw the ROM i flashed this time was AOKP. Thank you for the help!!

I believe late texts are a symptom of carrier network issues. It should clear up when the maintenance is finished.

I am having the same issue with the phone calls either coming in late or not at all. I test this by calling my number from a land line. It takes 4 - 5 rings before the phone will start ringing, if it rings at all. Most of the time, Google Voice answers for voicemail.
I remember back in the days when I had my Windows phone, there was something that we could do to have the phone poll the towers more often to make the phone ring faster. I know that this faster response to phone calls came at the expense of more battery usage. I wonder if some of the battery saving tweaks done by the ROM developers has had a negative effect on the phone calls coming in.
I have tried updating my PRL and whatever through EL30, then reflashing with out restoring any data. Still having the issue.
Thanks.

this same thing is happening to me and everyone else in my neighborhood that has sprint. Its one specific tower that's causing the issues. I know this because once I connect to a different tower the issue goes away. I contacted sprint about it and they said they would fix it when they do the network vision upgrades, which could be a ways away.

I kinda thought it was a problem with the network and so i called them and last time they sent me a airave and it didnt solve the problem. I still think its a problem with sprint overall and am planning on calling them.

I have the same exact problem. I have even had the phone replaced and it still does it. I only know when it happens because google voice logs the missed call. I have had it happen with a completely stock phone as well as rooted.
It is very frustrating because like you said, people don't believe you when you say that your phone did not ring.
They are actually going to switch my phone again. I know this is not going to fix the problem, but I will play the game!

Can't recive calls when WIFI calling enabled on SG2

WIFI calling enabled on SG2 won't receive calls
I've been flashing Roms for about three years now. I travel over seas quiet a bit and wifi calling is have been very helpful. But lately I've been having problems when I'm on any ICS roms. I don't know if it's just me, because looks like nobody else is having same issue, but I can't receive phone calls when wifi calling is enabled. It goes strait to voice messaging. I can make phone calls, but can't receive them. I have no problems with WIFI calling when running Gingerbread roms. Please help!

Might wanna take it up to tmobile if you confident you are following the ROM installing procedure.
How about go back to GB and see if you still have the issue

Thanks for the reply!
That's the thing, WIFI-calling is working just fine on ANY of GB ROMs (I'm running Darkside Digital Warfare v2.7 now). It's when I'm on ICS ROMs and WIFI-Calling is active incoming calls not going through, they are going to voice mail without one ring from the caller (it's like phone is off). But I can make phone calls no problem. And trust me I've tried all the new ICS ROMs that came out lately. And I do follow installing instructions very carefully.

Do you have the beats audio mod installed? I figured out with a few other people that it does cause an incoming call issue. And i know that wi fi calling is hit or miss on ICS

oh man. i just realized im having the same problem. i just didnt think anyone was calling me.

I called T-Mobile about this today, because none of my phones (S2, Blaze, Double play) would receive calls over WiFi. Ever since I called it's been working. Maybe it was a system update on the T-Mobile end?

But I can receive calls (wifi active) on all the GB ROMs I've tried. It's the ICS ROMs I'm having problem with... But thanks for the advice, I'll try calling T-mobile tomorrow.

Caller id

All my incoming calls are unknown. I've unbricked and tested this on cm10 and stock att GB. This is really puzzling, I've called my provider to make sure the feature is enabled.. why don't I get caller id?..... scratches head. I have also swapped out basebands v10j, v20e and v10h to see if baseband made a difference ..
I am using an unlocked bell p930 on rogers lte (cm10 running right now)... can anyone help get my caller id back ?
Thanks
Sent from my LG-P930 using xda premium

Things I'd try:
1) Put your SIM in another phone and see if that phone receives correct Caller ID or not. If it doesn't, it's a network or SIM problem, not the phone.
2) Install the official Bell ICS update. Not HO!NO!'s flashable version -- install the actual update from LG that will revert everything to 100% stock. I don't know if you've already tried this.
If it still doesn't work after that, I don't have any clue what is going on.

This issue is caused by Roger's "name display". Unfortunately no roms (that I've found) for the P930 work with name display..you can either call Rogers and have them disable the name display part of your caller id...or try to code it yourself.. there's a guide available here

See I knew about cnap and actually asked rogers to shut it down. They said it wasn't possible as the value pack I was on included it. So I canceled the value pack and now pay 8 bucks for vanilla caller id and an extra 10 for some txt messages.. that's 3 bucks more than the value pack that also included voice mail, call waiting, forwarding and name display. But even with the name display removed I'm still getting unknown ..
I'm actually pretty pissed.. as a business man I need to know who is calling. At least a number so I can triage my calls.
Seriously annoyed at this. Thanks for the link, looks like ill be spending a weekend figuring this garbage out. Wtf, why is this even an issue.
Thanks again everyone..

Thanks for the update, not sure I can live day to day with GB.. oh well, I'll keep reading... thanks for the tip.

OMG
Well, I still havent gone back to 100% stock but I have tried codenameandroid 3.4.5 and still no luck.. (this rom states it has name display enabled).. can someone else having issues with caller ID / name display confirm they have tried this new rom and are still in the same boat?

For those that care, after restoring to stock GB and still having no caller id I decided it was time to try something else. I grabbed the sim from my work phone, slapped it in my nitro HD and presto, caller id works. So I went to rogers today purchased a new sim and my issues are resolved. Name display works too ..

MMS on 4.2.1 not working - APN SETTINGS ARE CORRECT

Hey guys.
I've searched too many times for a solution to this and can't seem to find anybody with the same problem with a fix. MMS messages won't send or receive on my gnex. On ANY ROM other than miui, with how buggy that is on the gnex, I would rather stay on PA. I've tried custom and stock MMS apps. Checked my APN settings numerous times, but nothing seems to work. No idea why this could be?

it could very well be your provider, i know that usually the case with the toroplus. but have you tried using gosms? that usually fixes the issue at least temporarily.

Couldn't send group mms with stock messaging on CM10.1 installed Go SMS and same problem. I have no idea what's going on

I've tried gosms but same problem, can't send or receive on either. Spoken to NY producer, Vodafone UK, a d they can't find a problem. There end. MMS works on miui ROM but no others, so so strange

If you're rooted, just make a Nandroid Backup and restore the phone and see if that fixes it.

That's a test directory.
As mentioned, you can flash a Nandroid to a time prior to having to the issue if you are Rooted.
If not, Factory Reset from the S4.
Sounds like you installed something or changed something.

If you're rooted and on a 4.2.2. CM 10.1 rom that is a common bug, if you're on stock I would send that s4 back and get another one! I will of course try a factory reset first, see if it helps =/

i'm on stock untouched non rooted 4.2.2 and factory reset didn't helped tried that out eighter
could't it be a hardware problem ? like any non original parts? or the main chip is somewhere demaged?

Might be hardware or network.
Do you have a different phone you can try your SIM card in?
If the problem follows the SIM it is a T-Mobile issue.

i tried only german eplus
but it is a good idea i try with t-mobile sim
when this is this problem can i just flash other rom
or what is my next step?
i mean can i flash a rom from intr s4 on this t-mobile s4?

Probably not.
I would try flashing back to the exact stock software for the model you have if you have to too make sure everything matches.

Some reported the same problems and they call T-mobile to have their line "refresh". Said it solved his problems.
