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...

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!
Looks like Sprint has posted on their device RDF Page that they are now testing ZVE. Any input or leaks on what is to come? Hopefully WiFi Calling?!

That'll be nice if they finally being wifi calling that they've been promising for a while. Signal isn't the best where I live.
Hopefully they'll fix the ongoing LTE issues i've been having on ZVD as well. Sometimes the phone will drop to 3G and just stay there until I meddle with the settings.
Anyone know how upgrading goes if you've got it rooted? I haven't been on stock long with this phone and would rather not lose all of the customizations that i've done. (namely, replaced nearly all of LG's customized apps with stock looking ones)

I have the same problem with mine, but I don't think it's necessarily an issue with the phone directly. I just got my wife the Galaxy S5 Sport and the lady I dealt with at the Sprint store started to explain "This is a tri-band phone, and since we don't have Spark here, it may get stuck in 3G occasionally. To fix that just put it in airplane mode for a few seconds and then back out". I told her I'd been having the same issue with my G2 and she said it's common on all their Tri-band phones.

Well, I never had this problem with the phone while I was on CM11 so it's not the hardware, it's got to be an issue with their spark enabled radio firmware. (had ZV8 radio on the phone until I used the zvc .tot file to restore it to stock)

The problem and solution you describe are related to the eCSFBbug which has been fixed. It was an issue at the tower level and caused triband phones to stay on 3g. This should not be an issue any longer, so your Sprint rep needs to update their support knowledge.
Anyone who is able to return to LTE after being stuck on 3g for more than a few minutes by toggling airplane mode probably needs to perform the BSRtimer fix (G2 only)

Yeah.. good luck with that, I saw the procedure to get one's MTR, annoying looking and potentially "interesting" in a bad way.
Everyone says just use this dialer code except it doesn't work on ZVD and the alternative is the bad looking one.

All you need is your MSL which isn't hard to get. Sprint gives it to you anytime you activate a phone, and if you didn't save that record then just go to Sprint chat and ask for it. If they ask why tell them you are doing a hands free activation.

MSL.. riiight, no idea where I got MTR from. I'll see what ZVE does when it's out, it's not a problem I run into too frequently but it is slightly annoying when I do.

Waiting for ZVE is certainly another valid option. My wife also has a G2 and I simply advised her to ignore the ZVD update knowing there would be a fix released eventually.

source code has been posted on lg website. OTA should be within the next week or two. (at least thats what i am thinking)
For those complaining about WiFi calling (I was one of them), just use Hangouts as it now has Google Voice integrated. No need for Sprint's crappy apps. Merge your Sprint number with GoogleVoice and install the Goigle Dailer app and Hangouts will give you a WiFi calling tab/Dialer.
Its great because now I get SMS messages on my laptop in Chrome browser as well as calls routed from my Sprint number.
T-Mobile supports only Google Voice "Lite", I just switched to them, but it works just as well. Despite my Sprint sim being deactivated (Ported to T-Mobile) , my G2 can make calls why WiFi calls.

That is odd, it was crystal clear for me compared to Sprint's network, new motto; "Sprint, disconnecting America"
Anyway try disabling SIP ALG on your router, some have a bad implementation of it. With my Netgear R8000 no issues here. It could also be due to wireless interference as it will be worse for the G2 as it only has one antenna unlike laptops which usually have 2. I live in a 2.4 congested neighborhood so I use the dual 5Ghz bands on my router as Im the only one here with a 5ghz supporting router.

Yeah, Shibbys tomato is why I specified my firmware. I am 15 feet from my 802.11ac router and am connected 5g on all my supported devices. It sounds like **** at work as well.. I have a SIP dialer on my phone for my work VOIP and it is crystal clear compared to hangouts on my phone.. It isn't Facebook messenger bad, but it isn't good. I have an airrave at home hooked up via a wireless bridge since I have no windows in the area near my router downstairs. It sits upstairs and all my calls using airrave are fantastic. Again I personally find that the hangouts voicecalls suck either in Stock or AOSP (tried both) My Brother has the same phone as does my sister in law and they quite agree. I have tried the sprint wifi calling on a friends phone and it sounded fantastic compared to my g2 in hangouts
Wow, I am sure they would update it get rid of any quirks in the future. Just curious, what router do you use? I used to have Netgear WNDR3800 but Netgear gave me an R8000 for free as a beta tester, range and VoIP are better.
I am not claiming to be 100% correct on this. But from what I have understood. ZVE will not bring wifi calling. The update is going to be minor ui enhancements dealing with lockscreen and a couple of widget updates. The update also addresses some minor bug fixes. Dont hold me to it. Just passing it aloing. I asked about LG G3 Ui and was told only lockscreen and widget enhacments. No launcher or new apps of any sort.

This has been a frustrating issue I've been having pretty much since starting up my T-mobile service about a month ago.
To start off, my G3 is unrooted and on the latest stock software version, 20e.
I use Wifi calling often because I get 0-1 bars of reception at work. All seems to work well until I go outside and try to make a phonecall over the voice network. I'll have plenty of signal bars, be connected to 4G even, yet when I try to use the phone dialer to make a call it will say "Not connected to Mobile Network." or something along those lines.
I haven't done extensive testing, but I believe the other day I toggled the "Mobile Data" off then back on and was able to make calls.
Has anyone else had this trouble? Is it something possibly to do with Wifi and/or Wifi calling?
I believe I could make a phonecall using Hangouts when I was off of wifi, which tells me that the data part is working, but not the voice network.
I contacted T-mobile support, but they just had me do the "typical" things, like shut down the phone, remove the battery/SIM, start everything back up. And sure enough, it worked after that, but I'd rather not have to restart my phone or toggle stuff to get it to work as it should without any hassle.
Thanks!
My wife has the same problem after the 20E update. Her mobile is stock as well. It did not happen on 20B.

Off the top of my head no. I'll dig around a bit and see what if anything I come up with.,
From the digging I did I can't seem to find any help. The only thing I can think of is to factory reset it thing and see if it helps. I am going to do do it on my wifes phone tonight.
Yeah, that's what I was thinking too... I'm not really in the mood to deal with restoring all of my apps and whatnot, so I'll hold off on the factory reset for now.
If you remember, could you let me know the results? If I know for fair certainty that a wipe will fix the issue, I might do it.
Thanks!
It's a network problem and it is worst on Samsung phones. I recently went and got a new sim card and it seems to have fixed it. I read it is because if you live in a area where there is poor coverage it causes your sim to where out fast.

This started happening before my first month of T-mobile service was even up with a brand new SIM. I'm not saying that it's definitely not a SIM issue, just would seem unlikely that it's worn out that fast.

I;m having the same issue, turned phone off and on, checked Network connections everything looks fine, but now able to receive and send texts or make calls.

With the fact Verizon purposely drops your coverage from 3/4G to 1x while making a phone call? I've seen in the General G4 forum the "fix" for this is to setup advanced calling (which costs money). Anyone know if there's another fix? Possibly something to edit in build.prop (very highly doubt that)? Perhaps I'll have to wait for custom ROMs to come out in the future and have them enable this along with the Mobile Hotspot.
Advanced Calling does not cost any more money than voice calls, it's a $0.00/mo feature add on that you need to add to your Verizon account. Advanced calling is only a fancy name for VoLTE.
The reason it drops the call is because all Verizon phones this year don't have dual-radios to call and use data at the same time, this is a hardware limitation. With Advanced Calling, you can use voice and data at the same time while on LTE.
Check my thread on enabling the mobile hotspot once you have root.

I just made a call while on LTE with my VS986 and Advanced Calling enabled, and I was able to use LTE data while on the call, so it will work it just may take some time.
Lost my volte also I went online and enabled it but had to end up calling in and having them do a refresh to my phone that fixed it! One thing I found out yesterday was that you can't uninstall the my Verizon app if you want advanced calling it seems to run a check through that. Also found this odd the my Verizon app asked me to grant root permission to it! Of course it got denied
This is the build.prop tweak for enabling/disabling 1x:
Code:
ro.config.svlte1x=false
Not sure it works on our phones, but I'll be giving it a try.
edit: Damn, doesn't work.

The Galaxy S5 was the last Galaxy to have 2 radios, one for voice, one for data. So if you're referring to an S5 or earlier, the situation would have been different. They physically had the ability to voice & data together, without requiring Advanced Calling/VoLTE.
The G4 (and the Galaxy S6) only have a single radio, so they both require Advanced Calling in order to voice & data at the same time.
For those having trouble with getting Advanced Calling working on Verizon, I went around and around with their tech support for a week. I was running software VS98610B, and could not get it to actually enable. But as a last resort before exchanging the phone (their last suggestion), I upgraded to the current version, 611A, and got it working. So if you're on 610B, and having trouble enabling it, you may need to take the OTA update to 611A.
More info/details on the process I went through to get Advanced Calling working are in my thread over on AC:

You need the Verizon App to be able to get to the settings. Once you activate Advanced Calling, you can disable the Verizon app again.
Yea it really makes me mad that the G4 is doing this. My G2 had Advanced calling turned off and I had 4G while making calls. The Advanced calling caused more problems then it solved. Specifically I only get 1x in the basement at work and my calls were going straight to VM. Also there are tons of reports of lots of Echos and stuttering while using HD Voice.
Your G2 probably had 2 radios, and could therefore do voice + data without needing AC. My Galaxy S3 was like that.
But the G4 and S6 only have 1 radio. So they need AC to do data while also on a call.

The G2 and G3 could, but around last fall all Verizon phones started coming with just one radio and could only do both with Advanced Calling.
Wow. Allow me to explain something here. Any time you make a phone call on ANY Verizon phone, it's going to use 1X. That's CDMA. Verizon 3G (EV-DO) is data only. Advanced Calling allows phone calls over LTE and is the only way to do simultaneous voice and data in a phone that only has one combined CDMA/LTE radio, which is most Verizon phones.
Think of it this way. If you're in LTE coverage and you have Advanced Calling enabled, your call will go out over LTE. Otherwise, it's going out via CDMA, which the phone will show as 1X. It's no more or less complicated than that.

That's how old CDMA tech works but not today. The 4G radio is a separate radio outside of the standard GSM and CDMA radio. We should be able to make calls while retaining a data connection. This is something Verizon users have been doing for years. We have 3 radios but the software is turning them off during a call. If you pay and enable Advanced Calling features, then you will retain the simultaneous voice and data ability. It just sucks because I was able to do this on the G2 with advanced calling features disabled.
This is clearly Verizon trying to get more money out of you.
Hang on
- As I understand it, the G4 (and other 2015 Verizon phones, at least including the S6) has a single radio.
- Advanced Calling is free, and voice calls do not count towards your data allowance. So I'm not sure why you think Verizon is getting more money from AC.
- The older phones (like my GS3) didn't need AC to do voice + data because they had 2 radios, not 1.
I apologize if my understanding of the # of radios is wrong, but your post is inconsistent with what I've heard on that subject elsewhere.
Hey XDA,
When you are on a phone call, are users on the other side reporting that your audio on the Pixel is bad or breaking up? I thought it was because of WiFi calling at first, but it appears to be present with both cellular and wifi-calling. In general most of my phone calls are having these issues.
I use the phone for actual phone calls a lot and this had been very frustrating for me.
Seeing if anyone else is experiencing this or if you have a fix.

No issues yet, in USA and on Project Fi cellular service.
But I've only had like two calls so far.
Both at home, so may have been on WiFi calling or whatever, I dunno.
I confirmed with a couple of friends that have the 3 XL. They have reported some incidents, but they also don't use calls as much as I do. I disabled wifi calling and that seem to help.
I had this issue too. I ended up sending it back for an RMA. No issues with the new device.
This has been happening to me on my 3xl. Never had any issues with previous pixels. Its worse when on speakerphone, my buddy said I sounded like I was in a fishbowl. Last night I was on a call sitting in the same place with nearly full bars and the person on the other end said I kept going in and out of the call. Luckily I hate using my phone for calls so this wont happen much.
Try turning off HD calling, some carriers seem to not have enough bandwidth to support it in certain places.

When you get a call, it'll tell you on screen.

It depends on the carrier, some call HD, some call it Voice on LTE, some say VOLTE, others say Voice over Data.
Yup. Same issue. Rebooting seemed to help, but since turning off HD (LTE enhanced calling), no issues.
