ok...this is a wierd one...i have a Tmobile upgraded to 2003, everything went fine..untile I have been cut off from my GSM carrier in Egypt ( Mobinil) , I havn't paid for some time. when this happens the carrier gives you the right to receive calls, send and receive SMS but you can't make calls. When this happened suddenly my device refused to send SMSs to anyone..I could receive SMSs and calls but couldn't send SMSs .I thought this is simply from the carrier... I have another t-mobile still with pocket 2002 tried my sim card ...and guess what...I could send SMSs. went back to the T-mobile 2003; couldn't send SmSs at all. Changed siim cards...the machine worked fine and could send and receive messages-sim card from the same carrier. well, couldn't find any rational behind this....can anyone tell me what is going on.......it is not really something that serious ,as I know once I get my full service backs; I'll be able to send and receive through the new device...but for the time being can anyone tell me what is going on!
welllllll...thanks in advance....I love this site....and love the people who are helping others for free ( that means maybe I'll skip the 5 bucks
Hi Samer,
I have a T-mobile that was on PPC 2002 and locked. I managed to unlock it, upgrade it to ROM 3.18 or 4.00.11 , and Radio 3.25. The problem is that it doesn't get Mobinil signal.
Could you plz tell what Radio version you got and from where you down load it ?
Thanks in advance.

Hi guys/girls
Have a XDA which has a very strange problem, I have signal, can send and take texts (Vodafone and Orange networks tested) but can not take or make a call, sometimes the phone will ring and then after about 5 sec's it will cut off and I will have missed call, I have tried to take the call but it say unable to take the call (have not yet got it to call out), now the Orange sim I use has GPRS and I get the little G up for about 2 sec's then it's gone again, so anyone had this problem before and can point me in the right place to get this fixed.
Also I got the phone like this so I know no histroy.
Info on phone
Rom 3.17
Radio 4.21
I'm guessing this is a hardware problem so any link's or pic's of the radio side of the XDA might help me to see if something has come loose or might need resoldering.
Many thanks
I too have a simlar problem
The XDA I have came with the Special Edition Rom v1.2 on it
I put in a vodaphone sim I know works and it allowed me to dial out - only to cut off as soon as it seemed to make a connection. So I tried to diel to it to get a message about a system error.
I tried an O2 new pay as you go sim and had the problem of the G2 symbol appearing and disappearing on me.
Anyone out there got any clues ?
Owlfandbg, this sounds to me like a blocked phone, I have been sold 2 phones in the past that did the same and found out they had been subject to insurance claims and blocked from all networks.
any ideas how I find out if the phone is blocked
and is there anything I can dan do about it?
If your radio stack is before 4.21 you can use xda manipulator to "manipulate" the imei which will then give you network access. I must qualify this by stating that interfering with the imei in the UK renders you liable to 5 years in jail plus a huge fine if you get caught.

Been a long time lurker, but now i am in need of some help.
Had the galaxy s2 for a couple of weeks now and most of the time it works great. but occasionaly it will not recieve calls or sms. i get no notifications of missed calls, voicemail messages etc. to the caller it just goes straight to voicemail. A few hours later i get all? the sms come in at once, sometimes a voicemail notification but no missed calls. when this happens i have a good signal and am able to call out.
Its definately not because i was using data services at the time and not lack of signal.
I have rooted the phone, but still with a stock rom (ke7 ?)
Anyone got any ideas ?
The handset ? The sim card ? or the network ?
All the best
have fun

i have the same issue as you ...
the only solution that i found is to set my phone is GSM MODE only but you will loose your 3g/h data and only use EDGE

Lo Rich. Miggy round?(private joke)
Was wondering, was the phone on charge when it missed the calls/texts?
it could be any number of things, really. if your sim card is not fairly new i would replace it just to be on the safe side. you might try hard resetting your phone (which will delete all your info so back it up first) and starting over.
do you have any apps that block data connections at various times? if so i would delete that app and use the phone for a few days without it to see if the issue goes away.
have you flashed a different radio? if so, try the one that matches your rom, or try the newest one you can find.
there are many possible causes, but if i were in your position i would hard reset it and not install any apps that might interfere with your connection to the network and i would make sure my sim card was fairly new. if the issue still persists you might try asking for an exchange if possible.
If upu have the phone on GSM only then incoming calls go directly to voicemail when data bursts are happening (which is often). So switch to 3g to fix.
If you're not on GSM then I have no idea, maybe no signal in that area...
Thanx
Ok theres possibly been a development with this.
But first a big thanx to all your suggestions, and my response to them.
Seems a bit pointless having such a device then crippling some of it just to get the basic phone part to work. although switching to gsm only may be a temporary solution.
Fault occurs either on charge or not.
Fault has occured whilst at home where all data connections are disabled and wi-fi exclusively used. I havent tried flashing a different radio yet, but it is still on the latest ?? ke7 ? firmware. Sim card was brand new a couple of weeks ago.
So gsm only wont help, but as above when at home i use wi-fi.
Now i spoke to my network, talk mobile a few days ago, they say it will take more than 5 days for their IT dept to contact me to try and sort this ! as i can still make calls they dont see it as a major fault ??? Looks like customer care is not important to them.
I have also spoke to the company i purchased from(wish i hadnt as customer DISatisfaction appears high on their list of prioritys)mobiles.co.uk. I was speaking to someone at their Fullfillment team yesterday about getting another handset sent out, but for some reason i couldnt finish arranging it yesterday. Then early yesterday eve one of their guys rang me back out of the blue to say he had been looking into my fault and had found something not quite right with the original connection they had set up. He was honest enough to admit it was a bit beyond his knowledge and was getting someone from the connections dept to help him. they are going to re-do my connection and for me to wait 24hrs for this to be sorted and hopefully it should be ok after that. All credit to Leeroy at mobiles.co.uk.
The only problem now is other than getting someone to ring me every 1/2hr, how do i know if its working or not ?
I guess the best i can do is leave it a while and see if i get any more complaints that people cant get hold of me.
Once again many thanx for all your suggestions, i will update this when i am confident it has or hasnt been fixed.
many thanx
have fun

this happens to me perhaps every other day
i get a txt saying so and so called but left no message
my reception is fine and my phone has been sitting in one place on 3 bars
i call the person and they said they tried to call and it went straight to voicemail
the txt arrives instantly so i am putting up with just calling people back as its not very frequent
plus i have 1200 mins so i need to use them!
I have the same problem and I believe mine has something to do with the way the towers handle the switch from 3g to edge. You said you get a text message showing a missed call, I think that would be usefull to me also until we can get this fixed. Are you using google voice to get your sms, if not what?
I have the exact same problem, and it's beginning to interfere with my work. The HSDPA signal here is very weak. So I switched it to GSM only, which resolved my signal problem, but I keep missing calls. All I get is a sms saying that I missed a call. Would my problems be solved if I had full HSDPA signal the entire time? You said that calls are missed when data bursts are happening on GSM only? I almost never receive a call the first time. Only after ~3 attempts would they get a hold of me.
Any help would be very much appreciated.
Predicament: Texting people and they won't receive my text or I won't receive their texts until about an hour later. I have not upgraded my SIM to the newest one yet. I am S-Off NRGZ Stock Look. Just wondering if upgrading the SIM will fix that issue or do you guys think it could be a network issue?
If it's any merit the person I'm texting is an AT&T iPhone 4 user. I'm T-Mobile.
Thanks

Seems network issue.
It's frustrating because it's a chick I'm trying to, you know, and sometimes I think she's ignoring me..lol but she says she replied and she even sent me a screen shot of her reply. It's happening more and more and its sucking! Just for ****s and giggles I'm going to upgrade my SIM today to the one that came in the box.
use to happen to me on my old phone network, its a network issue, either u or hers.. id say contact your carrier and have them run tests to figure out the problem.. they can send diff types of msg's to see how long it takes you to receive them, or maybe you need to do some troubleshooting steps from them... idk.. but hopefully its a network issue
My ATT HOX+ is not receiving incoming calls.
I am not sure when it started.
I rooted with Hasson's tool several days ago and I have no other problem that I know of. Not sure if rooting is responsible or not.
I can receive calls from my GF's ATT iPhone, but I get no image of her for some reason.
I do not get calls from my ATT landline (not U-verse VOIP).
I do not get calls from my mothers landline, she does have VOIP from something other than ATT.
Data, wifi, sms, mms, all seem to be fine,
Any advice is greatly welcome

You could run the RUU and see if that clears up the issue. If not, then you know it is a phone or network issue.
Tried everything that seemed safe to try.
Called ATT, the nice person took me off network and back on again while I had the sim card out.
Fixed the problem with my landline not being able to call, but not my mother not being able to call.
The tech is sending my to get a new sim card on the off-chance it is the culprit, but believes that it is a network problem.
I will check back with an update later incase anyone else has a similar problem.

I'm having the same problem as are others. Found this fix which might help.
http://www.andromods.com/fix-troubleshoot/fixing-htc-one-x-plus-cant-receive-calls-voicemail-problem.html
I'm experiencing this problem as well. It doesn't matter who tries to call me from what, but calls only make it through about 5% of the time, which is completely unacceptable. The calls that don't make it through won't go to voicemail. Half the time it rings endlessly, the other half it will give some message saying the call cant be completed.
When I first got the phone, I didn't switch my data plan to an LTE plan right away (Best Buy didn't require me to do so, and AT&T insisted that I had to switch to their $30/mo plan so I kept my $25/mo plan for the first few weeks). During the time I did not have an LTE data plan I experienced no issues with the phone. A few weeks back I noticed that AT&T was now giving me an option for a $25/mo LTE plan, so I switched to that. That exact day is when I started not being able to receive phone calls.
Other things I've noticed since switching to the LTE data plan:
When I make calls, I often have to try 2-3 times before I can get the call to go through. Sometimes as soon as I try to make the call, the phone beeps at me. Sometimes it will hang for a good 10 seconds before it starts to ring.
Occasionally my phone will stop recognizing the SIM card, requires reboot.
Occasionally I'll lose my data connection, requires reboot.
Text messages some times take over an hour to send/receive, sometimes this is solved by a reboot, other times not.
I went to an AT&T store, they tried switching out my SIM card, but did not help me any further because I bought the phone at Best Buy. (I wanted to argue with the rep, because I had bought my Atrix from Amazon, and the same AT&T store helped me with the problems I had with that phone). The rep fed me some garbage saying that some phone numbers just don't work with HTC phones. Fed up, I left the store.
I have the AT&T Galaxy Mega i527 I got the phone a little over a month ago and had it unlocked and running on T Mobile perfectly well a few days ago it stopped working so after calling Samsung and making a few more calls I'm being told im Blacklisted, so after paying The Unlock Pro's to fix this im getting full Data at over 10MBPS at all time and as far as I can tell my Text work but Calling Out/Receiving Calls has major issues! when it does(rarely does) call out it will take forever to start ringing and most of the time it will drop the call..please help!!

If your getting full data you can use various apps to make and receive calls and text like mo+ or grooveip to name a few. I believe you need a google number to use the aforementioned. There are some that provide a number for you like talkatone.

Those will all stop working as of mid-May. Google will be disabling external VoIP functions then.
Another alternative is skype. I pay 2.99 a month for unlimited calling in the US, you can also receive calls from landlines through skype. I think that service is like $7 a month. Hopefully this will help with your problem.

Google for checkesnfree, can verify if phones are blacklisted there.
Possible 1)
Dial *#0011# with your sim card inside. Look for something called "IMEI CERT". If it says "Fail" (or not listed at all) then the problem is "The Unlock Pro's" have buggered your NVM. And without a proper backup of your original NVM, nothing to do.
Possible 2)
Flash the stock modem for your Mega (newest version only) and kernel only. Wipe data/factory reset, then reapply your APN settings. Make sure to do a manual select on the network.
Possible 3)
Dial *#06#, write down your IMEI, then pull your battery out and look at the sticker on back and see if the IMEI on the sticker matches. If it doesn't then they have altered your IMEI (which is illegal by the way), and put your IMEI to one that is in use by another phone.
thanks for all the reply's!!! do you guys kno where I could download the modem for this phone?? I had to download an re-install the modem on my Unlocked AT&T S3 I747 I had on Metro
just to give a update im still having the calling out/receiving calls problem , the company I paid 60 to fix the IMEI refuses to even respond to my e-mails.. I jus find it weird im still getting full data at all times and the phone has the 4G LTE sign at the top right of the screen until I go to make a call then it jus goes to a regular 4G sign with no LTE. also I've noticed the calling out/receiving calls feature works fine depending where im at like for instance I went to the hash bash in Ann Arbor the other day and everything was working fine.. im thinking im going to just send the phone to Joe The Android Rooter and see if he has luck getting it figured out. I'm jus sick of this thing being a money pitt..
