A5 2017 on Nougat - no ringing tone during calling some numbers - Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Questions & Answe

Hi guys,
On 6.0.1 I had no problems with this phone, really good. But after official OTA update on Nougat I found an issue - sometimes when I want to call someone, I don't hear ringing tone and calling session ends after few (appr. 8 - 10 seconds) automatically. Sometimes people told me that "I was unavailable" when they tried to call me - but my phone HAD PROPER signal. I'm from capital city without any signal issues - it never happened to me on previous phones.
Does anyone of you have the same problem? I downgraded back to 6.0.1 and no problem.
* I also upgraded to 7.0 via Odin, but problem with calls in Nougat occurred again!
My config:
Connections / Mobile Networks / Network Mode : LTE/3G/2G (auto connect)
PS: I don't wanted to change Network Mode to pure 2G because from time to time I need to use data connection when no WiFi is nearby. And today's browsing web via 2G is crazy Maybe I should change it only to 3G...but with pure 3G there's signal problem in some buildingz... I also didn't try Factory Reset - my fault
So if anyone of you dealt with this issue, please let me know!
Thx

I had similar issue with M even when I had good signal, after restart I recieved the SMS about missed call. I did then factory reset and switched to 2G and I think it helped. Now on Nougat, luckily, I am not having these problems anymore, and hope they wont occur, but I have to mention that I am using 2G, since i dont use data.

Pandotaz - Thank you very much for info! I'll try it again, 1st I make Factory Reset. If no help, I'll switch to pure 3G. If still no help, I'll use only pure 2G and will see...

Looks solved. I cleared cache and data on 6.0.1, made Factory Reset. After that I installed 7.0 via OTA. Cleared cache & data once again, Factory Reset again. Restored data from Smart Switch backup, but without Settings and Network. Everything looks good now on 7.0

Glad to hear that!

Galaxy Nexus loses network connectivity after enabling data

Build: IMM76I
Baseband: I9250XXLA2
If I don't enable data, the phone works fine. I can receive and make calls just fine.
Once I turn on data connectivity, data works fine for a while. Like 40-45 seconds. After that, the connection sort of gets stuck. I cannot make any calls, and if I call my number, I get a 'not reachable' message. The indicator in the notification bar will show full bars for a while, then if I got Settings >> Wireless & Networks >> More >> Network operators to do a manual search for network, the status bars drop to zero, become an 'x', and then go to full again. The behavior then repeats.
Bootloader is unlocked.
Any kind of help will be appreciated.
If it helps, I have the NTT Docomo version of the Galaxy Nexus (SC-04D) that is sold in Japan, but I live (and use the phone) in India.
Are the APN's set up properly for your carrier?
I'm assuming you've tried the usual toggling of airplane mode and rebooting, etc.?
APN is setup correctly, which is why the data connection works fine for a minute or so.
Toggling Airplane mode often does nothing at all, since the cellular connectivity system seems to be stuck, even when it does, it takes a loooong time for Airplane mode to get enabled in the first place, and disabling it takes even longer.
Rebooting the phone fixes the issue, but it returns very quickly (within a minute or so after rebooting).
Also, another similar thread over here mentioned that their problem got solved by flashing the FuguMod kernel - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1438417
I flashed the kernel successfully, but the problem still persists.
Mine is doing the same thing. I'm out of ideas.
i'm starting to think this problem is extremely common.

Keeps disconnecting from cellular network

Hi, my phone keeps losing connection from cellular network.. I've had my phone for about a week and I keep disconnecting from cellular network, or sometimes when I'm picking up a call from home the reception is really bad this has never happened to me from my previous phone, Apple iPhone 3G
does anyone have a solution to this?
I had this issue as well. I know you won't like what I did, but it's the only way that Samsung knew how to fix the issue (I had tried things like disabling the LTE antenna to no avail). I did a complete factory reset, and it helped. What Sprint has you do is go into Settings, then Backup and Reset, then Factory data reset. What I did, however, was using Odin to flash the PALEN firmware to my phone, then do a factory reset as Sprint said above (using Odin will not erase data), and lastly doing OTA updates until I got back to LI3. I will post a video from QBKing below on how to do this. From there, I reinstalled all of my apps and re-synced my music.
I did this about two weeks ago. Since then, my phone has only disconnected from the network once, which it did so to switch from 3G to Wi-Fi.
Video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=ypmqJbZqOaU
This video shows you how to unroot your device if it is already rooted. However, you can use this video to know how to flash back to PALEN (just ignore the part about unrooting at the beginning).
Good luck!!

H812 Keeps Losing Signal (Please Help)

Hello everyone, I've been lurking here all weekend as I've been trying to stabalize this phone I bought off of Kijiji. Right off the bat, when I
installed the sim I forgot to turn off the phone . Haha, I was extremely tired & only when I removed the battery (of course) did I realize what
had happened. Ever since the sim has been in, the signal has been unstable every 5-10-15 to 30 minutes (this is without running POGO). By
unstable, I mean both data & most importantly calls. I won't be able to make or receive, when I place the call during these failures it will
say dialing, connecting... and just continue until "call ended". And when I"m called, outside of LTE just say we've forwarded your call to VM. On
LTE, it will say something along the lines of this customer isn't able to receive your call at the moment.
Troubleshooting Attempts:
- Tried SIM in a different phone & it worked perfectly
- Power Cycled Several times, Factory reset it 3 times
- Set up 2 APN's (sorry can't link yet, but google them if u like they're ez to find. LG G4 VM Canada APN's)
- ^ Tried both, both unstable, but PDA gives most stability
- I've registered to all available networks under GSM/HSPA/LTE all unstable
- Connected Automatically & Manually to GSM/HSPA/LTE together & separately. All unstable
- Phone is not in Air Plane mode
Model: LGH812
Unlocked, Original Carrier: Rogers
Current Carrier: Virgin Mobile (Canada)
Android OS: Marshmallow
Kernal Version: 3.10.84
Build Number: MRA58K
Software Version: H81220x
Now, I have just recently come across a very interesting development. Using the App Network Signal Refresh Lite,
In pokemon go I've been able to transition to a signal that will stay solid for up to 5 minutes, 3 on average. It will still
lose connection, but will usually reconnect in-app in moments. I do have to minimize it & do a refresh again in NSRL
every now and then but it's a big improvement. Before hand, when I would use go, the service (calls included) would
completely rip in seconds.
So... any ideas? I'll appreciate any & all help.
I've flashed every stock rom I can for the device too, but the signal continues to drop regardless of the OS. Some error messages I' ve gotten are emergency calls only, no service & service disabled but usually it just shows that its connected to virgin but I can't make or receive calls.
Other than the cellular service, everything else with the phone works perfectly. The wifi, the camera, the gps, etc it would be a shame to have to get rid of it but the essentials first. I have to be able to make calls.
Please, anyone, any ideas? Are there any apps I can install to fix the broadband or something.
It won't remain stable no matter what I do... and no one has any solutions
tips, thoughts or ideas? Really regretting this purchase now... It's been a
month and I still cannot get a stable connection. This is ridiculous.

You may want to check out this link (https://lg-firmwares.com/lg-h812-firmwares/) for an H81220X Bell/Virgin kdz (H81220x_00_1122.kdz) and use LGUP-NEW to install it. It might help but if not, you may be facing a hardware issue ...
Solved lg g4 losing signal
I bought my lg g4 K450 and within days l noticed my phone was losing signal constantly. By the grace of God l tried this and it worked.
Go to settings---Then to Network---To more---To Mobile networks----To network operators. Select search network. All available networks will be displayed after a thorough scan. Select your network provider with a WCDMA instead of GSM and it will register it. After it done registering, restart the phone. and u are good to go. It worked for me, if it works for u give glory to God.

Android 11 VoLte issue after update

Any body else having issues with VoLTE after updating to 11? Im on Verizon GS20+Software is G988USQU1CTKH. I've noticed my call quality has dropped so I investigated. No data when on a call. When on a phone call, lte drops out and no data. Ive checked my connection settings and every thing looks good. I reset my network settings, restarted, cleared cache. I really don't want to do a factory reset. Anybody have any suggestions?
While can't help you, I'd like to know if you have a locked or unlocked phone. I am on Verizon and my unlocked phone still can't be updated.

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.
