[Q] Note II - Can't Recieve calls sometimes ?? - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello Everybody,
My phone n7100 with rooted stock rom 4.1.2 .
I was sitting with a friend and he was ringing my phone, but the network said the the phone is closed.
it was very strange the phone was turned on, and i can call him normally and his phone would ring, so there is no problem with calling,
Just with receiving and it can be fixed by restarting the phone OR enabling then disabling flight mode.
it happened to me around 3 times, whats annoying is that you never know when the phone hangs or you cant receive calls unless you meet someone who tried to call you before.
I don't know what is the problem exactly, so if somebody got any idea to share ??
Thanks.

This problem is more related to network. Check out using different simcard or other network operator.

You're not based in the UAE by any chance? The Phone company here just rolls out that sort of message rather than admit that their network sucks and they cannot route the call.
I don't actually mind that they can't route the call, but it really bugs me that they have to lie about it.

Unable to make call

I have this really annoying problem where i find myself unable to make calls 2 out of 3 times. The phone just goes BEEP and disconnects. If i try again.. and again, it will suddenly make the call. I have a good atleas three bar connection. I also noticed that i sometimes do not receive phonecalls. Does anyone know what to do with this? it is really frustrated to have an unreliable phone. I formatted my phone already but to no avail. I did not flash my phone. so original firmware and radio.
Specs:
HTC Desire retail, so not branded
T-mobile NL
Plz help.
Hi,
I sometimes get the same problem but its only when Im in Bournemouth centre and surrounding areas. Im also on o2.
Also get the same from orange when Im in lewisham, London!
Might be worth speaking to the network as you might be in a busy network.
Im in Bournemouth on T-Mobile and get full HSPDA everywhere!

ICS Leak - Missed Calls and Data Drops on LTE

I have been running the ICS leak for quite some time now and haven't had any major problems with it until now. Ever since they launched LTE in my area I have been having trouble with my phone not receiving calls. When I finally talk to the person that was trying to call me, they say that it would ring twice and then go to voicemail. My phone never rings and I don't receive any notifications about missed calls. I have also noticed that when it does this, my data no longer works at all. If I toggle airplane mode, it will snap the phone out of it.
This problem seems to be growing in frequency. ATT tried to sell me some BS about the phone gets clogged with interference from travelling through low signal areas and they re-registered my phone on the network and told me to give it a try. My phone is still having this issue. LG had no clue what was going on with my phone.
Does anyone have any idea of what could be going on and what I can do to fix this?
New rom? Just in case something did happen with the rom somehow.

I'm also having the same problem on official Bell ICS...

Why not use the official release?

Voice data is not sent over the LTE network but instead is sent over EDGE, HSUPA or HSDPA (gsm) networks. This is because LTE was designed to handle data only. Currently a few mobile operators are begging to launch voice over LTE capabilities (VoLTE). However ATT does not support VoLTE capabilities so whenever you place or receive a call your handset will switch to the gsm network to handle voice.After the call has ended your handset usually takes a few seconds to automatically switch back to LTE if available. During the time your phone is switching back networks your data will be inaccessible. If your phone does not switch back or your data never returns then you can toggle on/off airplane mode to reset it as you have mentioned doing. This should not be happening very often, unlike what you describe. What I would suggest is flashing HoNo's CWM official V20c ICS from att. This will update your phones baseband and firmware for your radios and I've also heard is more stable and has improved battery life. Hope I could help.

I had the same problems with the leak at home where I have a weak signal. Never had any problems with CM9 or GB. When I switched to the official rom all those problems went away. So I think it was just a baseband issue with the leak.

We ( my wife and I) got the same issue... With Bell.
So we sent both phone ( GB by the way non root ) to bell to get them repair ...
Sent back the phone... 1 h later ... got the same issue .. so they ( futuretel in Markham Ont Canada) dont find the issue, they just reflash the phone.
sent it and ... weeks later got it back ... lost it again ... but they change hardware and also reflash.
Now it's my turn ...
I'm still waiting for my phone because when i got it back, got issue ( probably firmware ) because I lost the speaker and speakerphone ... so if someone call me i was not able to ear them...
Sent back the phone again for repair and now i'm waiting.
Update my wife phone 2 day's ago with ICS from LG( bell ) and I dont think she got the issue.
If it's happening again, LG will have to step in because it's 2 repair for the same issue.
Since we are not alone in this situation we will be able to remove the hypothesis
of interference in our house!
And again ... when I was talking with someone from Bell support, I told them I would like to try custom Rom if the issue is still there...
The person agree with me... yes weard from someone from bell...
Other than that ... it would be good for people to "catlog" the drop signal / no voice service...
Some one have a good tool that can track that specific issue ?
Thanks!

A few questions about the GNex - Network, Mail etc.,

Hi Guys,
So, I've been using the GNex for about a month. I moved to this phone from a Moto Atrix and here is what I have noticed and have looked around but didn't see any good answers to these questions I am having. Hopefully I get some answers here.
Device info:
GNex GSM version on ATT.
Running JB 4.1.1 Stock with Trinity Kernel (rooted and bootloader unlocked).
Issue #1: I get really bad reception at work. But, when I leave the building, my phone doesn't automaticaly connect back to the network. Sometimes, if I don't check my phone, it's been like that all night long until the next day when I have tried to make a call and it said "No Network Available" and I have to either reboot or toggle airplane mode to get back on the network. Am I missing something? In my past experience with other devices, they try to automatically connect back to the network when they loose connectivity. Also, if I get in an elevator during a call and the call gets dropped due to network unavailability, it doesn't connect back to the network and I have to toggle airplane mode. Has anyone else had this issue?
Issue#2: This is with the stock mail app. Specifically the search in this mail app. No matter what, it always returns zero results. Has anyone had this issue with the Mail App? If I use the Gmail app, it works fine. That's what I am using now, but am curious as to what I may be missing that make it not return any search results in the stock mail app.
Q3: Speed Dial: How do you set speed dial on the dialer? Is it even supported?
thanks in advance,
vG

it could be to do with your radio, what version is it? baseband version in about phone. im no expert but when i flashed a jellybean rom i had to update my radio afterwards cause my signal was dropping alot. i also had the same problem later on but that was down to my network operator. before i realised it was them i googled my problem and a few forums suggested that my sim card was goosed. so maybe check those three possibilities? i cant help with the other two issues unfortunately but good luck sorting it out!

Calling issues

Just wanted to see if anyone else has been experiencing this or maybe knows a way to fix this. I have 2 issues with the phone calling on this phone. I had the 925T since launch and never had an issue with it. ever since i sent it in for repair, I've had a strange issue. Fist one is dialing out. When attemting to make a call, it takes anywhere from 3 seconds to 40 seconds before the call actually gets connected. this is highly annoying as i dial a number and it feels like forever before the call actually connects. my other issue is after the phon ehas been one for a few hours, I dont get any incoming calls. the phone will not show me any incoming calls at all so I don't even know when someone calls me. Ive tried everything i can. tried changing sim cards, updated the bootloader and modem, tried different roms, kernels, stock odin, everything. and its the same story no matter what I do. Anyone Have an idea of what it could be? It only works well after a fresh reboot. calls works without issues. hours later, problem comes back
I've had the same exact problem but I attributed it to using an AT&T Sim card on an unlocked T Mobile phone.
I've now rooted and installed Xtrostolite Rom with latest modem and bootloader. I've yet to have any issues. Good luck.
Anyone else have this issue?
I have this issue. It seems if i leave wifi off i do not ever have this issue. I live in a crappy coverage area so i have to have wifi on at home. I just reboot when i leave. I hate this phone....

You think the problem is WiFi related?
Yes. If i leave wifi off i never have the issue.
Still is happening. whether I have wifi on or off it always happens. It seem,s to be an issue related to VoLTE. When I turn LTE off, the issue dissapears. Updated baseband and bootloader to latest version and issue is still there. Have a custom rom and the issue is still there. go back to the tmobile rom and the issue is still there. thinkiing of going back to a tmobile firmware and turning off VoLTE in the firware then reflashing back to custom rom and seeing if that helps. if not, im selling the phone and getting the F version of the regular S6 and calling it a day. im done with carrier branded phones.
Interesting enough I haven't had this issue in the last 3 to 4 days. I wonder if it is AT&T related.
I have this issue. All the time. Unlocked from tmo, using straight talk at&t. This phone is the worst.
Anyone not on AT&T network having this issue?
I wonder if flashing the AT&T modem on TMO model will help.

Maybe you should get a phone from att.
If att service is better than tmobile then maybe there phone is better than tmobile's phone.

I've been able to switch between carriers on any phone that has the supported bands since the galaxy s2. The issue is with this phone. My mistake in buying it.
Please help!
same thing here its unbearable, using latest unibase and xtrestolite
I have tried a few roms and a few kernels. I have tried differ apns but att Sim in this phone doesn't work like it should. I was going to get a TMOBILE note 5 to use on att but now I know it's not worth the risk.
@stu5797, yea man, I wish I had a solution. I'm happy it's not just me, but pretty bummed that there seems to be no answer other than it just doesn't work properly.
I've noticed the issue only happens during peak hours. Can anyone confirm?
I was having similar problems after the 5.1.1 update so after a few troubleshooting sessions with TMO, they sent me a new phone. 2 weeks now and no more problems. First phone that I have not rooted and flashed..... I was also told by a store rep that a lot of people were having issues since TMO is upgrading towers for 12 band.

Are you still having this issue? I have the same issue and the same phone but mine is unlocked and working on cricket network. So yeah same problem taking forever to connect a call and no receiving calls mos of the time. No ring no notification of missing call. I been doing some research and find a temporary fix. Try going to settings -mobile networks and switch from lte/wcdma/gsm to wcdma/gsm or gsm only. But before do a test. Turn off data and try to make a call see how fast it connects then have someone to call your phone. If it works then this trick will work for you. Of course you gotta sacrifices lte speed . Basically having 4g only but at least will fix your calls. These problems seem to ve related to volte i been trying to disable it but there is no such option under phone app setting. I just dont have it. (I cann show some screen shots) so if someone knows a secret code or app whatever to turn it off i will appreciate it. My phone is a t mobile galaxy s6 edge.

Didn't work for me. I turn off data and I still have to wait until the call goes through

network issues

Currently I am in stock room.
My phone suddenly drops the network (Wi-Fi and cell network) but it is not in airplane mode.
I won't be able to receive any calls, but the caller will hear busy tone.
During the whole time my network shows few bars, but it is probably fake network.
I am just missing many calls due to this problem, and when some one notifies over other phone I will get to know and I will put into airplane more and back, the network resets and works fine.
Can anyone know what is the problem ??
I have reset my phone also, but of no use.
Thanks in advance.
