Hey guys,
So this issue has been going off and on ever since I got the Pixel XL
To start, I'm on the 7.1.2 version of android, running PureNexus, and everything is working great.
I made sure I was on a 4G connection and I tried in several places. When I try to make a call, the signal would immediately drop out, and drop to no bars, then no signals, then 4G will pop back up again. The call obviously didn't go through. I would have to try to make the call like 4-5 times before it would go through. It's not dropping the car mid way, but right after I started dialing and hitting the call button.
I'm not sure what's happening here. Its not really a big deal since I'm usually okay with retrying to call a few times, but what if its an emergency situation.

Hey guys,
Something really random just happened to me today. I was sleeping with my VZN Galaxy Nexus on my night stand when all of the sudden I heard a noise coming from my phone. I woke up and looked at it and noticed it was making a call to some number that starts with a "+2" and it was about 23 seconds into the call. I heard it say something that sounded like "Please wait while we prepare your photograph".
Needless to say, I freaked out and ended the call... but when I went to the call log that call was not there!
Has anyone had this happen to them or know what could be causing this?
Curious that you mention this; I was about to make a thread on the topic. Mine made a call around 6:30 AM CST. The number is *22899 and it's a number that you dial to update your PRL ("Please wait while your phone is being programmed"); it's the same as dialing *228 and hitting option 2. That said, I've never experienced a phone making the update by itself before.

Very weird indeed. That's around the same time my phone made the call... I guess I could see how I heard "prepare your photograph" instead of "being programmed" since I didn't have the phone up to my ear.
Anyone else?
Just a quick note, I noticed on Engadget that Verizon is having some data outages across the US. Maybe this has something to do with it?

Same here but mine happened at like 4 am or something. I had no idea wtf was going on...
Might be. I was going to add that I wasn't able to connect to the network at all this morning (though I've had an intermittent 3G signal just recently). I didn't even know they could remotely initiate a call like that; sort of creepy.
This just happened to me. Call is not in my recent calls list, it just automatically conencted. FYI I'm in the DC area so maybe its just something Verizons doing in different areas.
Just happened to me as well @ 2:30am PST. Happened twice actually. I ended the first call and the second one completed activation and hung up on its own. Odd.
Just happened to me TWICE again last night at 3AM... I had Data turned off completely too.
So I ended the call and 1 minute later it did it again.
I ended the second call and put it in Airplane mode for only a few seconds, then it never dialed any more last night
(I turn off Data when I go to sleep at night)
So my phones having weird issues, I'm using CM9 and didn't find anything like i'm having.
Sometimes when I go to make a call, it will go past dialing and give me the call time and at like 5 seconds before i hear a ring it will drop. Like before the call goes out it will just drop, usually i will just try once or twice more and it wil work. As well i have been getting calls where it will ring once then stop like they just hung up.
Today i had a time where i couldn't get any calls to go out, i tried like 10 times then i restarted the phone and it worked. Anyone have any ideas or things to try?
Hey! My wife has a t-mobile G3, stock non-rooted. It's running 6.0. She's had it for a year, and it's been fine (other than some wifi issues here and there). But in the last few weeks, she can no longer make calls.
The weird thing is the calls do "connect", but there's no sound either direction. For example, if she calls me, my phone will ring, but when I answer there is no sound either direction. Both of our phones show the call timer counting the seconds, as if they are both connected. If one of us hangs up, the other phone gets disconnected immediately---so the 2 phones are DO connect with each other, but no sound can pass. This happens with every number she calls.
I would have thought it might be a network problem, but she did a factory reset and it worked fine---until a few days later when it broke again. So I'm thinking it's software. Sometimes her phone will work for a few hours, but then it will stop working for a few days.
I've tried turning ON/OFF bluetooth, wifi, data, & wifi calling. I've tried changing to 2G network. I've tried different sound/noise settings. No change.
Any ideas?? Thanks
Hey, title pretty much says it all. I'm on T-mobile in the U.S. I've tried it on the network and WiFi calling and I've had calls drop randomly, quite often. Sometimes it will be really soon into the call, sometimes longer. I thought at first it was a network thing so I called T-mobile and they said it looked fine on their end, and it says i have service.
Weird thing is that whenever I've made a call on speakerphone it doesn't drop. So i thought I must be hitting the hang up button with my cheek but I've tried holding it away from my face to see if it helps, and it doesn't. So its really weird. Does anyone have any suggestions?
I'm getting tired of it, wifi disconnects and reconnects or flat out doesn't work, mobile data flat out doesn't work most times unless I reboot the phone for either of them to work. I'm rebooting about 4-5 times a day just to get either working. I'm at my wit's end and about to get rid of this thing as soon as I can.
I generally love this phone, but I'm seeing similar issues. WiFi says connected, but I don't get any data. I thought it was my network at first, but noticed other devices working. Tested network while my phone was acting like this, and my WiFi and network were working great.
Separately, my phone sometimes won't dial out. I use Google Voice, so I'm not sure if it's the phone or Google that's not working, but it's very frustrating. The dial screen comes up, then immediately disappears. No errors or anything to indicate that it ran into problems. The dial screen just flashes. Rebooting seems to fix that. But all very frustrating. Especially when I'm trying to call someone while driving. I don't want to have to look at the screen. I want to be able to tell the phone to call and know it's going to do it. Instead, I tell it to call, it confirms it will call, then nothing.
