"call ended" immediately - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4

Starting today, my Note 4 gets into a mode where whenever I place a phone call, the phone immediately says "Call ended" and hangs up before even connecting.
Signal strength is fine and nothing has changed today (including my physical location).
I've tried clearing cache/data on the Phone app and force-stopping the Phone app, but that doesn't fix the problem.
If I reboot the phone, then the problem does disappear for a while and I can place calls normally. But within an hour or so it's back in "Call ended" mode.
Since rebooting always fixes it immediately, the problem appears to be with the phone and not the carrier. I'm running the latest OTA version (COC4), totally stock.
Does anyone know of a solution, or at least a quicker workaround than rebooting?

the same thing is happening to me... last update

Factory reset, as much as it sucks it fixes most issues, not all obviously

Go into network settings turn off enhanced 4g lte services. Go into apn settings and reset to default. Reboot.
Similar situation happened to me.

I am having very similar symptom now on my Galaxy S6 Stock, however resetting APN not work
, is there still hope not to go factory resetting? I found some people not having problem solved but yet have to face a empty phone again and again, what a waste of time :silly:
BTW, I can have this "call ended" immediately" issue fixed for like 30 mins by switch between voice call mode like 4G/3G/2G automatic <-> 3G/2G automatic, but after a short time it goes back again, turn out the fix not quite helpful because even inbound calls result in as "no receiving", quite an issue.

##DATA# Menu

In the ##DATA# menu, there is a menu tree called EVDO, with a sub selection called "DDTM."
What does this selection actually do? I thought it had to do with calls interrupting data?
I ask because I changed this setting to off, and it fixed the ONE instance I had of the losing the data connection... No reboot required, it just suddenly came back with the roam warning, and I had data again.
And now, even though the setting itself SAYS "ON", when I go to change the setting, "OFF" is actually selected. I still get calls while streaming Netflix, so I'm wondering if something is wrong with this particular piece of the firmware?
im curious to know this too!
With DDTM, whenever you are actively using 3G, it will disable calls as opposed to stopping the 3G in order to take the call. So leaving that off is good, because if you were just chillin' and your phone is in your pocket and it starts syncing...and then you get a call..that call is going straight to voicemail while it finishes syncing.
That's why my wife was pissed, she said she would call and call and i would never answer but my phone never rang. Just changed it to off

Thanks for the insight because I kept getting voicemails without the phone ringing and thought I was just losing my mind

It must have just been a pure coincidence that my data came back (after 5 minutes of no radio indicator, and error 97s) when I toggled that.
I hate coincidences!

Radio sleeping possibly?

So periodically my phone is active and working... all of a sudden i have full strength in bars but I can not transmit a call, recieve a call or use data and anyone calling will automatically goto voicemail. I'm beyond mind boggled what in the world is happening.
Im using wind mobile as my phone carrier and using UKID as the baseband.
Would appreciate any help or support.
same thing is happening to my phone.
I can not transmit a call, recieve a call (some times)
Im using 2.3.6 official rom.
Anyone know anything about
it was once happened to me as well. That was because of poor reception area. What I did was to manually search and select the network provider instead of automatic selection, this pretty much solved my issue in that area. Give it a go and share your result. Also restart your phone once before doing this.
Very odd.
Tried the above and still facing the same issue.
Pulled battery and sim card to be safe for a minute. turn on phone and went and did manual search. will have running service for about 5 minutes or so and the poof... doesnt exist.

Loosing internet connection while on 3G

Hi, lately I've been suddenly loosing my data connection for 3G/4G, and the only way to solve it is to turn the phone off and on. It seems a random event, sometimes I've noticed it after leaving the phone unused for a while and sometimes while surfing on websites. The icon on the status bar and the signal strength bar doesn't change at all, but still the phone refuses to connect to any website or check email. I've tried turning data on and off, and also going to airplane mode and back to phone, and it doesn't work. I'm on AT&T, with rooted ICS and tethering.
Is anyone else having this problem?
Which baseband you using? I have been using ICS using the .111 baseband with no issues in connectivity for a couple weeks.

I was having this issue yesterday while I was out. I would lose data even though it said I had it. Rebooted and has been fine so maybe some tower issue?? I am on the .111 ics baseband.
I also use the. 111 baseband. I've been using it for a month now, but only noticed the loss of connectivity for the last 10 days or so. Could it be the APN config? I searched around for configs, and noticed that some were missing fota and admin apn types. I've removed them, to see if this makes the problem go away. I've traced the tweaks I did, and I included these two in APN type about 10 days ago.
That has happened to me randomly the past few days, as well, using baseband .111 with rooted ICS. It, however, would not even have the icon that I had internet, the 3G/H/4G symbol would just be missing with only cell service bars. The first time it happened, my APN totally disappeared without me touching anything. The next couple times, the APN was just no longer ticked. Ticking the box (circle) works and I instantly have data again. Hope my situation helps others. I just wish there was a permanent solution to this bug.

It happened again today, I still had the 4G icon (I was in a LTE area) and the APN was still ticked. Again, after a reboot the internet worked normally.
Hey I've been having the same problem too!
At first I thought it was because I was using Straight Talk (prepaid) but I popped in the SIM card on my work phone and started noticing the same thing.
Long story short, I went into "data usage" to disable "set mobile data limit" thinking (what's the point if my data isn't working) and presto! All my emails and fb notifications started spitting out.
I think it was because I had "restrict background data" enabled as well.
While I was having this issue Mms was still working.
Screenshots attached...

Thanks, I'll try doing this and will post back if I don't get the problem after a few days.
===============
After almost a week with the mobile data limit disabled, I haven't lost my data connection yet.
Was on the phone with ATT today and they said the storm did cause some issue with the towers so maybe it will not happen now. I have not seen this issue again after that one time.

Sprint LG G2 (LS980) Data Roaming Bug

Does anyone experience this scenario where the "Data Roaming" check box seems to uncheck itself in Settings/Mobile Data (hit the Menu button to check "Data Roaming" on)?
Even if I have it set on to Data Roam, every once in a while, it seems to uncheck itself. How do I know this, there's a certain section in the building I work where I usually always roam on Verizon (voice and data, no problem) and previous phones I've had (Note 2 and iPhone 5s) would roam just fine.
With the G2, I'll notice that a triangle pops up in the top left telling me that I've lost data connection because I have Data Roaming turned off. Of course I set it to data roam.
Lo and behold I go into Settings and Data Roaming has turned itself off again, so I check the box to Data Roam and data starts flowing. It will stick for most of the day or two until I notice it again, and the cycle repeats itself.
It gets really frustrating if I don't notice this phantom behaviour because I could be in this particular location for quite sometime and not notice that I don't have data because it's unchecked itself, again.
Anyone?
Mine will stay ticked but ***** that it is disabled. It's annoying.

I have a similar problem in that the box will stay checked, but I get "Data Roam Guard" notifications all of the time, even though I have the setting to not get the notifications. When I click remember this setting it doesn't take, and I also get the triangles regularly. It's very annoying.
Sadly I've gone back to my 5S. Just couldn't take it anymore constantly losing data where I never did before. Still keeping the phone hoping a not too far in the future update helps.
I can't believe this isn't happening to more people. Can't even find an inkling anywhere. Weird bug.
Very annoying. I have the same issue.
Just got my lg g2 2/15 great phone and i too am having the same issue is there a fix yet? i to am in and out of sprint service and have to keep turning it back on (put a check back in the roam box)

I Guess just a few of us have the data issue so short of returning the phone i called sprint to see if they had any ideas. had them create a trouble ticket to address the issue so will give it a few more days see what happens. Other than this major bug phone is great.

It seemed to only happen after the recent OTA update. I got so frustrated I reset the phone to factory, but still no fix. Anyone have an update on this bug?
On 4.4.2, same issue, no update here.

Question Unable to retain/regain signal without reboot/airplane mode toggle

I'm at my wit's end with this. I got this phone last year and it worked perfect until the stock Android 13 update. Then it wouldn't hold a signal to save its own life. I finally have wifi here so it's not as much of an issue, but when I leave my house I have to toggle airplane mode to get it to work again, or it's stuck on "emergency calling only" forever. I did recently put Lineage on it, thinking maybe that would help. The last couple updates it's a little better, it will sometimes get signal back on its own. However more often than not I have to toggle airplane mode or reboot to get service back. This happens all the time, a dozen or more times a day depending on how often I lose service. I did try to search the forums for an answer, but I kept getting errors back with the exception of one result with the same issue that said "tmobile only" under the fix.
I have:
Reset network settings
Reset APN
Manually selected a carrier and switched it back
Cleared cache through Android Settings
disabled/enabled mobile data
Toggled Mobile data always active
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Seriously considering going back to my LG G8 ThinQ and selling this thing, but I love the cameras on it. Side note: When I put the SIM in my old phone none of these problems exist.

Maybe contact Verizon support. They should be able to fix it or at least tell you what the problem is.

I tried that. I couldn't get anyone that was a technician on the phone and eventually after three days of not getting an answer they closed the ticket.

WOW, glad I am with TMO. Their support is the best I have ever worked with. To me they set the standard.
You said you reset the APN, but did you check to see if the APN is the same as on your other phone that doesn't have any issues with mobile service? Maybe check to see if they are the same, and if not put the APN in that works

That's a good idea, I'll do that tomorrow. Thaanks!
Assuming you're unlocked and rooted since running Lineage, so add this module in Magisk, and maybe also enable mobile data always active in developer settings for now as well.

Exact same issue, unlocked LE2125, TMobile simcard. Didn't have issue on custom ROM, but this is happening on OOS13. Tried everything NSA SA 5g dev settings nothing worked. Living with trying to remember to toggle airplane mode periodically.
