Ok this may have been asked before but i havent really gotten the understanding that im trying to. so ill ask specifically. i have root, have installed 3 or 4 different roms CM6, stock 2.1, modified 2.1(currently 2.2 froyo from t-mobile). does this mean my phone is also "UNLOCKED" or is there something else im missing? also i am having an issue where immediately after i turn my phone on, i can place phone calls. but after a few minutes, i cant make a call. it just sits there and then times out unless i shut the phone off and back on again.
Simple Mobile $60 plan
Mt3gs
rooted
2.2 froyo OTA
I was thinking 'Unlocked' meant it was able to be used on other carriers?
i was too but im not sure if thats the issue. because the phone was originally a t-mobile phone but i bought a Simple Mobile sim. so now the phone is actin funny about calls. the internet is programmed and works fine. mms is sketchy. but phone calls act like the phone drops the carrier after a while and i cant scan for carriers (says no carrier found) until i reboot it. also i cant enter airplane mode fully when that happens. sometimes i can get incoming calls but cant dial out. other times, incoming calls ring then go to vm without the phone ringin at all

Rooting your phone doesn't unlock it, so technically your phone is still sim/carrier locked to T-Mobile. Simple Mobile may have been able to work around SOME of those locks, but you probably won't eliminate those calling issues until you get it the unlock code from t-mobile. You also might try hack-unlocking it, the unlockr I've heard is good for that kind of stuff.
Rooting just means you gained superuser access to the phone, vs regular end user access. Rooting allows custom roms and overclocking and that sort of stuff.
Hi,
I'm facing a strange issue with my 9 month old Redmi 1S since last 2 days. Whenever I dial a number the call immediately disconnects and all I see is "Call Ended Not Connected".
I'm using 2 Sims, Airtel in slot 1 & Bsnl CellOne in slot 2. First I thought that maybe its a Network Issue but when I tried both the sims in a different handset, I was able to make calls. I tried an Aircel sim in 1S as well but same problem.
And yes I'm able to receive calls, 3G is working fine but can't make Voice Calls. The OS version was JH45 and I didn't update as I was waiting for Kitkat/Lollipop ROM. But last night I updated my phone to latest JH 56.0 assuming that it will solve the issue but the problem still persists.
Also, someone advised me to clear system cache from recovery which I did but still its the same.
Hoping to find some solution from the members here.
Regards.
So, nobody is gonna help me here?
I am able to make calls only if I prefix number with *31#
Why?
Hey,
So I bought an LG G4 from Vodafone UK and unlocked it so i could use my Three sim card.
Weird thing is I can use Mobile Data and send/receive SMS if I am on 4G. The person who is calling me can hear the calling tone as if they were calling someone but I don't actually receive the call.
When I switch to 2G/3G it simply does not connect to the network.
I have done a factory reset and it did not fix the problem.
Any ideas?
Thanks
tl;dr : can't send/receive calls but can use data and send/receive sms (through 4G only)

Maybe you need to register your IMEI on the network? That's what I had to for At&t.
How would you go about doing that? Apart from manually searching for networks (I can see other carriers like O2, vodafone, EE, but I can't see my carrier Three ; the person living in the flat with me is on Three as well and they have no problem, so it's not a coverage issue. I have bought the phone from vodafone, unlocked it and trying to use it with Three).
Do I have to call Three for this IMEI registration or..?
Thanks

Best bet will be calling your service prover and have them register it. I had to call At&t and have them register my IMEI since I couldn't use internet or make calls.
Just had a long chat over the phone with them and in the end he said the 'engineers' found a 'problem' on their end and it should be fixed in @5 days. He didn't want to mention what problem or how / why it happened. Oh well fingers crossed.
Thanks!
update : so after about 4 calls with customer service (across 3 weeks) and 2 trips to the 'Three' store i'm basically stuck and would need your help guys.
backstory : I've contacted them once at the start of January and they said they found the issue and they will fix it by 7th of January which didn't Happen. On 7th of January they said they are sorry and it will be fixed by 14th of January which didn't happen either. After that I received a message that the problem was fixed and if i had any other issues I should contact them, which I did because the problem was not solved. Yesterday I went to the shop again and the 'tech' guy told me that it should be working and he gave me a new sim card just to be sure, and if that didn't work he said call customer support and ask for contract cancellation. Today I got called by customer service and I have told them that it still doesn't work and I'm paying for something I can't use and I've been told to request contract cancellation which they didn't believe and said I have to pay the rest of the contract length in order to cancel, which is absurd. I went again to the shop and the new customer service person that was assigned to me said they don't have any tech people and she seemed she didn't believe when i said i talked to one the day before. She tested the sim on their phones and it worked and also she took my phone "in the back (strange cause she said they don't have any tech)" and said I had my phone set to 2G (which I didn't, it was set to 2G/3G) and that that was the problem. strangely, for that split moment i had one bar for 3g and the call went through. Straight after that phone stopped working (it was just that small area in which it worked). I told her that that's not the problem and she's like "welp you didn't make your contract at the store, you made it online so I can't help you , you have to call customer service". So I'm basically stuck with a contract which I can't use and I have no idea what to do.
problem : I cannot register to the Three network (only in small random areas, few of them) but I have no problems with other SIM cards from other Carriers (Orange, EE, Vodafone, O2). I have bought the phone from vodafone and unlocked it and last time customer service told me they can't give support to phones that were not bought from their store. So I'm stuck here with a phone contract which I can not use to make or receive calls, but I can use the mobile data and send receive texts. I am considering rooting it and puting a custom ROM , although I'm not sure if that would fix the problems (maybe issues with certain bandwiths?.
Any help or ideas much appreciated!
Same problem here
Hi all. Same problem here but different issue.
Origin : G4 buy used on November. IMEI fully working and not blacklisted (calling my french phone provider this morning, it tell me that's IMEI is ok and phone not stollen and it try to repair remotly my carrier but didn't work)
Problem : Fully working since i picked up a call and answer ... and then when the call is finish i tried to call someone 10 minutes after and totally loose signal(connection) (Orange/Sosh)
What i've maid before : Playing a lot @ a boring but adictive game. High temperature since 3 days because i play a lot but temperature decrease when i stop playing.
I've used a legal app to record a patern and make some actions without my intervention (RepetiTouch Free (root)) to make races in the game.
That's all ! No drop, no hit, nothing ! Just playing, having a call, hang off and then want to make an other call and nothing.
Since the last 6 hours : Signal ok - Data ok (can go on internet / GAPPS etc..) - CAN receive and send SMS (i've don't trie MMS) !!! but .... can't receive and can't send any call.
I was on Genesys 3.5 and i've update to 3.7 when i see the problem, believing that's it will fixe the issue but ... no ....
Formating and going to stock ROM but with root SU etc..... Can't receive and send call too ....
I'm going to back to stock with KDZ .... but i really believe that's it will not work .....
AND .... to finish and kill my joy .... i've unlock bootloader with LG tools since 2 month .....so my phone is no longer under warranty.
My SIM card work on others phones ... other sim cards didn't work in my phone ....
If anyone have this issue ... please tell us
Sorry bro cant help you here. Never heard of that problem before but my idea is that you should refund that phone back to Vodafone UK.
Hi!
I am occasionally unable to receive or make calls on my XZ2c. Specifically, sometimes (say, every few days) people report to me I cannot be contacted although I am in a place where I have good reception. And, in such cases, if I try to make a phone call myself, I cannot. Even more specifically, the caller in these cases hears no ringing and no typical carrier voice message that my phone is off or that I cannot be contacted for the moment; while, when I try to call, nothing happens for a few seconds and then the phone app stops stops trying.
A restart always solves the problem.
Also, it may be the case - but I am not sure - that this happens after the phone has briefly lost reception (for example, in my office, because I exit the elevator, or in my home, as I have a blind spot in the courtyard). This seems to me to be the case based on a few observations but, again, I am not sure about it.
Otherwise, the phone works impeccably, but since I missed a few crucial calls recently this has started to bug me. (Needless to say, my two mostly retired phones, the XZ1c and the OG Pixel, do not have this problem when used in the same environments.)
Any suggestions, please?
I have the same issue - and reboot suddenly resolves it. I've tried to ask over Sony forums, but no reply yet. It bugs me also, but it would be quite hard to report it to Sony service center, as I cannot reproduce the issue myself. (although I think they are aware of the issue) It's a bit strange that my XZ2C has reception problems where my Z5C used to work...

It would help if you would report what carrier you guys are suffering the problem on and whether volte is enabled and if you have tried more toggle options of which networks to fall back on to make sure you receive calls, there is a way to manually set it to fall back all the way to GPRS 1.5 G manually haha my carrier supports that and i was once deep in the forest and still recieved a 1g call haha. It is not enough coverage on weak signal for 2g or edge calls.
In some cases inside big city where they ONLY have either LTE or WCDMA ON THE NETWORK, then YOU MUST either force it to use LTE only, or wcdma only. That way it does not jump back and forth and miss call. Some big cities i set it to lte only and even in basement or in skyscraper it is always full bars. So it just depends which tower types are in your home area.

It's Telenor Hungary, no VoLTE or other "magic" involved. There was a previous thread, which discussed the same issue. Actually I posted it to talk.sonymobile.com also, but please see the attached screenshot - it shows the actual issue. Telenor Hungary shows up as "emergency calls only", while Telekom HU and Vodafone HU seems to be fine. Sometimes switching airplane mode on/off solves the issue, sometimes it's a reboot which makes me able to make/receive calls again. But forcing 2g/3g/lte does not have an effect for me.

If this is the case, it is the SIM cards identification is not consistent to the network tower. Maybe the carrier has updated sim card version if you ask them. If it is emergency calls only logically its the network not authenticating your account based on sim card. It may be sensitive to the phone hardware. I have heard some people on other phone models hadd to ask carrier to provide even old version of their sim card instead of new ones. Try that.

Thanks, I'll give it a try today and ask them to replace sim card. Hopefully it will solve the other appearance of this issue also: whenever I have full bars and talking (usually late night driving home to parents, in a well-covered area), audio quality degrades in seconds - at least on my side - and other party is not able hear anything I say. After disconnecting - if I'm able to do so, and phone app does not get stuck with "call disconnecting" message - I'm not able to make/receive new calls, as only the outline appears of signal strength bars. After restart everything works perfectly. Strange, isn't it?

Ironically - or maybe not - I am not that far away. I am on Orange Romania. When I search for networks I get essentially the same picture -
Thanks, I will try the SIM trick as well, maybe it helps. I may even go as far as jumping carriers, in fact.

Got my sim card replaced, now waiting for the issue to pop up again. (or hopefully not) Actually the guy at carrier said my "white" simcard (about a year old) was a problematic one, replaced it with a new. I don't know if this could be true, but hopefully it'll solve the problem.

It seems that replacing the sim card solved the issue, thanks for the hint! I would have never ever thought that a sim card issue may cause such a problem.
I have exactly the same issue and have already a new sim, which doesn´t do the trick for me....any other ideas how to solve this?
no VoLTE or anything like that. T-mobile as carrier

No longer have this problem with recent firmwares. The sim change did not solve the problem for me.

Thank you for the feedback.
With the recent firmware you mean 52.0.A.8.50 on android9? Do you use stock rom or a custom rom?

What an irony! After updating to the latest fw some 2-3 days ago, it's happened again, the first time in some 4 months.
Nooo... I just got my replacement phone today and so i installed all the latest firmwares.... I still have high hopes i won't be affected again.
Has anyone any idea how many phones are affected this way... Can't be all of them otherwise there would have been a flood of threads about that.
Maybe some prior models of this series...

Did you test different firmware regions?
Maybe your mobile network provider and the baseband aren't compatible (bug).
And did you report Sony that the bug is in the newest firmware?
No i've just used the original settings since i am still in warranty time
But that's why i've asked before if the others were experiencing this issue only with their stock or even with custom roms / fw.

Just use xperifirm and newflasher to apply a different region.
But remove the userdata.sin if you don't want a full wipe.
