[Q] ACM limit exceeded- no 2/3G connectivity or outgoing calls - Samsung Galaxy W I8150

Hi All,
For a while now my I8150 doesn't allow me to make any outgoing calls or connect to 2 or 3G- when trying to make a call, it says 'ACM limit exceeded'. outgoing/incoming SMS is fine, and I can receive calls without any problems. WiFi works fine.
I've searched for others facing similar problems with other Samsung phones, but all point to a faulty sim card; the same sim card works flawlessly on other phones.
I'm running CM9 unofficial but tried many different ROMs to no avail... clean installed each time I changed ROMs but that doesn't seem to make a difference.
Anyone have an idea what it could be?
Thanks,

Did you also try clean flash of the original stock firmware the phone came with?

Yes, I flashed the stock ROM with Odin but still the same issue. I'm starting to think it might be a hardware issue with the SIM reader

Cant send SMS - Phone not ready

In the last week i have tried 3 different ROMS - First Muns Full, then BEPE's and now PDAVIET's latest ROM, and i keeping getting this message when I try to send an SMS "The phone is not ready - please wait 15 seconds". I am using the radio ROM 1.46.30.11 which i updated about a month ago.
It only started happening last week - i have tried cleaning the sim card etc - which works fine in other phones.
Does anyone have any ideas what is causing this? I have searched and havent found any real solutions.
Thanks

Try going to settings/personal/phone/band and set network type to GSM. That fixed SMS send problems for me. However, you will lose the ability to connect to 3G. I haven't figured out how to get both working, but use SMS more than 3G.

Thanks - that worked. But yeh, losing the 3G option is a problem. One thing i have noticed is that when the HTC home plug has "home" displayed as the network it causes that problem, but when it is displaying the actual network operator name it works fine.
This is still happening now 3 months later- i have tried differnet ROMs, radio's and now nothing works - even different sim cards. To compound this, the problems i am now having with my Parrot 3200 car kit (tried everything as well) and constant disconnections has made this phone almost useless to me, and i am now going to sell it and go back to Nokia phones.
thanks everyone for all their helpful advice.
Cheers

Have you tried the official Dopod D810 ROM? I've had no problems with it.

My tmobile S4 can no longer make or recieive calls

I had this happen with my rom. It was so strange. In my case it would let me dial three numbers then I could dial no more. Couldn't recieve or make a call.. I did however fix the situation with flashing the rom again. Haven't had any trouble since. In your case somehow your radio might have gotten changed. You might look into what the radio was before the rom and possibly download that radio again. Or you can try basic ics radios and see if any work for you. You have nothing to loose by trying. You can get the radios here on xda. On my last device a similar thing happened to me and I had to flash a new radio. It did restore my abilities. Its worth a try. It could be what's going on with your device. It certainly wont hurt to try. I wish you the best and do hope this helps you.
Happens to me occasionally, reboot fixes it.

I had something similar happen to me with a AOSP rom. On Thursday I started having trouble with dropped calls and then yesterday it got worse and I was unable to make or receive calls at all. Right after dialing the phone would beep and the call would end. Data and SMS was fine.
After multiple reboots and a good amount of time it started working again. I'm not convinced I did anything to fix it. After reading about your problems I wonder if the cause was on the tmobile side.

[Q] Phone calls not working after CM 10 and 11

Tried updating to CM11 and everything worked great ... apart from phone calls.
Phone rings ... but person calling can't hear me and I can't hear them.
Outgoing calls ... their phone rings(my phone just says dialing but no ringing), they can't hear me ... I can't hear them.
The tried CM10, same problem.
restored back to by factory 4.1.2 version and it all works again.
I've seen one other person in this forum reporting the same issue but on the Optimus G (not the E980).
Is this a common issue? Is there a quick fix?

I had the same issue on CM11 , moved to CM10.2 which worked well.. Any fix ?
Moving to CM 10.2 I had the same problem.
One thing I thought of, which I'm not sure if it could be a cause is I am not using ATT as the provider anymore which this phone was only released in US as ATT. I'm now using T-Mobile with the E980 ... could that have anything to do with it?

maybe try to manual connect to your network provider in the settings. sounds like you dont have a problem with the rom but with you phone signal

Need more info....download samsung phone info and post a screenshot of the firmware tab. If your bootlader and baseband dont match, theres your problem. If they do, try reflashing stock (twice) then doing a tactory reset from the stock recovery right after. If after that the issue is still present....probably something else.....mabey hardware related. Good luckl
Do you use bluetooth? I had a very similar problem and figured out that the only time I had call audio was when I was using a bluetooth headset or the bluetooth in my car. I don't know what sets it off but I've done some searching on this problem and it appears to be common among GSM GS4 owners, and even doing stuff like a complete reset doesn't fix it.
The one fix that I did find, that helped some people, was to go into Google Now and disable "Okay Google" detection from any screen. Several people found that that worked. But I didn't have that feature enabled anyway so it didn't apply.
I don't know if the same problem occurs with CDMA GS4s; my wife has a Sprint GS4 and doesn't have the problem but that doesn't mean it doesn't exist. I think it was just AT&T and T-Mobile GS4 owners who reported this.

I don't have Bluetooth, I've tried it with a wired headset and even that didn't work, but what's so puzzling about this is that my calling works fine with Facebook messenger calling feature, hangouts and things like that

Edit:
Nevermind. It worked twice then I tried calling a different phone and it broke again. I will keep searching and update.
Original:
I have had this issue intermittently for the past year. It was fixed for about 6 months then two weeks ago started occurring again. Today I flashed a new Rom (PacMan) and the M919UVUFOK3_M919TMBFOK3_TMB firmware. That did not fix it. I was connecting to a 5Ghz WiFi so on a whim I forgot that network and made a call without WiFi enabled. Call worked!
So I connected to my 2.4Ghz WiFi and it is working again. I would try turning off WiFi and see if your calls go through if so it could be 5Ghz or the router...maybe a forget network / reconnect to network will fix it consistently.
Hope this helps you and if anything new comes up I will let you know.
So an update. I finally just gave up on it. My wife had an old phone I remembered (from 2 - 3 years ago) that was ran over and the digitizer broke. I just took her guts and put it in my phone and now it magically works. Hopefully it stays that way.
Should have done this years ago as my phone would no longer charge with the USB Cable nor was my SD Card accessible. Now it is all functioning right again.

So after flashing stock NB4 twice.....and factory resetting after from stock recovery, your still not getting call audio?.....doesnt make sense....try again and make sure the bootloader and baseband match.....and dont reboot into download from the OS.
For anyone having issues with no call audio through cell service but for some reason it works through data calls through whats app or facebook messenger, etc ,i have been having the same problem for awhile now. I believe i have traced it to be a hardware issue with the middle frame, when looking at the phone with the battery cover open on the top right over by where there are two markings R1 and L1. There is a module there labeled J-AT TMGA 7-3. When i was having issues i noticed that if i put slight pressure on that module my audio would fade back in on the call but if i put too much pressure it goes away again. If it is a hardware connectivity issue it would explain why slunked was able to get his phone working again by changing the guts in the unit. Im currently waiting for a middle frame and a blue cable for the antenna to confirm if this is indeed the issue.
