I am not receiving incoming calls on my Nexus 5x - Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
From time to time, my friends inform me that they have called me and I haven't call them back!
No incoming phone calls, no missed calls, no nothing!!! It happens some times. I was not sure what the problem was until I lost my phone at home. I called it once... I was hearing the tone on the phone, but my phone was not ringing!!! After finding it... there was no missed call !!
My phone is on the latest 6.0.1 update, it is unrooted and bootloader is locked! I rarely use data so it is off all the time I am not using the phone. WiFi is always off. When not using it, I put it in power saving mode. I don't know if the power saving mode is the culprit or not.
I have seen that this has happened to other phones like Nexus 5. I have read that a quick fix for this is to change the preferences from LTE to 3g but I don't know if this works on Nexus 5x or not!
Does anyone else have this problem?

I have the same issue - randomly some calls go straight to voicemail. This is very difficult to test as there doesn't seem to be any consistent rule to it.

Which network carrier do you have? Fi?

Hi, i had the same problem yesterday, after flashing a new rom and gapps, i think beacuse the android dialer goes in conflict whit google dialer...try reflashing stock rom if you are on custom or do a factory reset and try other rom.

[Q] Phone Call issues on CM9b0

I installed CM9 beta 0 on Sat. Working great without any issues until now...My phone rings and I answer the call. I cannot hear the other person (or know if I actually connected even though the screen says I am).
ALSO...when I call out the phone actually places 2 outgoing calls (I found this out by calling my office phone and 2 lines ring) While I am calling out my phone shows the call screen but I do not hear any ringing. Sometimes the person can answer, sometimes it just goes to voicemail.
I have only install a few apps. The only one I can think that might have something to do with this is Google Voice. BUT my phone was working just fine with all these apps for 2 days and many phone calls. I have not installed anything today.
Anyone else have this happen, and any advice? Thanks!
I am trying to learn this stuff as I go, but this is my first post...so thank you all for the help!

That's a pretty weird issue! So I am not sure if I can be that much help but have you tried to go into cwm and clear cache and dalvik. The only other thing that I can think of would be to try wiping day day reflashing the rom

Thanks. I uninstalled Google Voice and it went away. I wasnt big on GV anyway so didn't mind letting go of it. Haven't had the problem again. Dont know what went wrong but might have just been a quick glitch.
biz, why not update to beta1?

Cannot hear caller, then phone restarts GNEX

Odd problem is now happening to my wife's new GNEX. This phone is barely 2 weeks old, HAS NOT BEEN ROOTED, but now all of a sudden when you call her phone, not only can you not hear the person on the other end talking, (I have held each phone to each ear to test it) and it then restarts. I did a backup, then proceeded with a factory restart. After this was done, I tested it again, this time I could hear myself. 2nd test, it did it again, and is now only do this. Any ideas?
This phone will be going back to Best Buy tomorrow, but someone else may be having this problem as well. So what do you guys think might be happening to this phone?
Thanks in advance.

Happened to me twice (random) and some calls went straight to voice mail without ringing. Running yakju 4.1.1 rooted with UGLH1 baseband. Will revert back to default XXLF1 to see if it makes any difference.

There are so many version of baseband available out there. You will need to try one is most suitable to your network. Baseband application can be found at the link below:

Choices are quite limited. Being in Canada and with Wind, it has to be UGLA4 or later for data roaming bug fix...
I'll remain on UGLH1 and testing minfree profile tweak instead. (Now on aggressive setting)

i had a problem like that happen to me too...it started when someone called me and my phone just froze then rebooted itself, from then on everytime i got a call it would connect for a few secs (no audio) then reboot
i factory wiped and cleared everything...only to realize the solution was just to remove the sim card and put it back
try that...sometimes its the simplest solutions that work
Took it into best buy, and they swapped the sim card. Problem solved.

[Q] Potential Design Flaw / Dropped call or hang up

Hi All,
I got the Tmobile Note 2 couple days ago and have been slowing increasing my usage. I have discovered a problem that I would need to the community to help me resolve to identify if I have a bad phone, or it maybe a more serious design flaw.
First, I have repeatedly able to pinpoint the problem: If you are using the hotspot that T-mobile provides for you, and you are tethering with your device; when someone calls you and you accept the call, the chances of the phone hanging up on its own without any human interaction increases dramatically if there are connections using the hotspot, i.e. Another device connecting/disconnecting from the hotspot, or lots of data traffic, etc...
The dropped calls looks likes the phone just hung up the line in the middle of a phone call. To me, the "dropped call" can be anywhere between 5 seconds to 5 minutes. I was able to repeat this issue at least 10 times in a row already and thus my concern. I have identified and replicated this problem at many many different location with many many different signal strengths, indoor, outdoor, in the car, on the can... etc....
If you guys can repeat this problem, let us know, because I do not realize any limitation of simultaneous of using the hotspot feature and the voice calling radio.
thanks ALL!
Just wanted to report back:
I just got back from the tmobile store with a brand new Note 2, and when I tested in store, guess what?
It happened the same way on the new device!!!
I'm pretty sure that it is either the design flaw of the Note 2, or there is something wrong with the build of Tmobile or JB.
Nevertheless, I hope some experts can point out what can be done to resolve this, and maybe people who have flashed to the custom roms can see if they can replicate the problem.
Basically, turn on Hotspot, connect a tethering device to the hotspot, call the phone on another line, answer the call, then disconnect a device from the hotspot.
Chances are the phone will automatically hang up the call after the first couple of tries of connecting and disconnecting the tether devices.
Thank you!
similar problem

There are some serious flaw in the software/hardware in this phone. I have been able to replicate this problem with 100% success. Just go and turn hotspot on, and tell someone to call you, soon enough the phone will hang up the call.
I'm thinking hard of just not needing such a big screen and go for a nexus 4 instead.

I have experienced this problem with almost every network and phone.... Not necessarily the T-mobile app but tethering apps in general... Even if your device supports data and voice I have experienced this with pretty much all apps but I don't know if it's just me or what.... I don't really have a problem with it as I don't accept calls when I'm tethering anyways... Just my .02 cents

I experience something similar. I got tmobile note 2 on att .after like 5 min talking .my mic mutes.i can hear the other person but they dont hear me ,till i put speaker

Well, for me its slightly different....
1. Wifi calling enabled and activated (blue icon)
2. if someone calls me 5, 10 , 15 min etc... later, the caller hears silence and the phone does not ring.
3. happens every damn time. I plan on calling tmobile about this....
4. the only time it works is if i make an outbound call, and within a couple mins someone can call me.. but if the phone sits there for more than a few min.. nobody can call me.
I was in a call when someone else called in and the phone froze up happend several times im really considering returning this phone

[Q] Instantly connecting call

Hello all,
Today I tried to call someone and as soon as I hit call I was instantly connected to what I think someones cell phone. I heard people in casual conversation at like a bar... and then the call just ended.
I just talked to someone else and they said the same thing happened to them when they tried to call me.
Anyone have any idea what could be happening?
You rooted if so ROM and any tweaks you done? If phone is bone stock call Verizon you may have a bad phone but never heard this happening before
Sent from my One using Tapatalk
I am rooted but otherwise I am stock. I have had the phone for 5 months and it has been rooted the whole time. Just really strange. I have tried to duplicate it with no success. Maybe their network had an issue yesterday?

Doesn't ring

Hey Guys,
anybody experience the phone not ring when incoming calls? I have to reboot the phone for it to start ringing again. I got the phone during X-mas for my mom but she complains about that. lol... But i have no idea what causes it. It stock and happens with wifi calling on and off. i checked apps and she doesnt have anything different i would have.. I might just flash a custom rom on it.
thanks
