Out of nowhere, I suddenly have no access to the HSPA+ network. I was on the phone, and then the call dropped. Since then, I've been able to get full bars on EDGE, but data won't work, can't send or receive texts, and can't make or receive calls. My bill is paid, so I know it isn't my service being shut off or anything.
I've tried restarting, pulling the battery, and nothings working.
It's running the most recent stock update, only modification I've done is root it, which was long before these issues started up.
Anyone else have these issues or similar? What can be done to solve this?

Hi all,
Looking for a bit of help/advice.
On occasions, probably between 1-3 times a day, when I try to make a call on the Hero, the call appears to look like it is dialing out but it just sits there saying 'dialing' but never connects to the destination which can be any UK number / Orange 150 etc. Either rebooting the phone or leaving it for 10 mins or so fixes the problem, but it does become annoying!
At the same time as this happening, when I try to send an SMS, I get the error 'SMS not able to send' in the notification bar. Again, I have to keep trying and it sorts itself out.
A final problem and I am not sure if it is related or not is I have had numerous people try calling me at various times, my phone doesn't ring or display a missed call, nor do I get a missed call SMS but the person who tried calling me said the line was actually ringing first and then went through to voicemail. I have witnessed this myself by calling my phone, getting a ringing line but the phone doesn't respond?
Any ideas of help would be appreciated. This problem has existed on Modaco Roms 2.2, 2.8 and 3.0 - I'm on Orange UK.
Thanks,
Nick
I have the same problem with the Orange Poland. When I logged on to the 3G sometimes you can not call or send SMS. When I switch to the 2G network problem disappears.
Yeah, it is strange, I have done that too, turn off the 3G to 2G and back to 3G which sometimes cures it, but not all the time.
I've tried various things, made sure the apps aren't closed with Taskkiller or anything like that. There is no specific time or occasion it happens, it just does now and again.
Well I have tried everything. I recieved all the settings from my operator , changed over 10 ROMs and gone back to the original too, i tried what you said to turn 3G off , i reset to factory , i unrooted.....Nothing works for me. I just get "Unable to send". I also tried 4 SIMs from different operators !!!
Is anyone else having problems with connectivity to Google Talk?
My issues are only when operating off of 3g - NOT WIFI. When I log on it works fine, but it seems that after a minute or two (or turning off the screen) I get disconnected with no alert, and eventually I have to wait for it to reconnect. At this point I get all of the messages I should have received and all of mine send.
Does anyone else have this problem? What should I try? I already updated roaming, factory reset etc.
Thanks.
I followed Bentenrai's guide to S-Off, Rooting, and Recovery. Internet (both Wi-Fi and 3G/4G data) works, but I am unable to make/receive phone calls or send/receive text messages.
The phone call error occurs after about 2 rings, which says "Error 16 (then in Spanish) Switch 694".
The sms error is: "sms error radio interface resource shortage" with details "cause code:64, error class: 2".
I tried everything from the "Phone does not work after S-Off" thread and was on the phone with 2 Sprint operators for over an hour. The first operator had me update profile and PRL, then had me turn off/pull battery while she did stuff twice to no avail. The second operator (who was mean and treated me like a moron) had me turn mobile networks off and on again, update profile and PRL, and pull battery (yes, she actually wanted me to pull the battery while the device was on; I powered it off first).
Is anyone else experiencing this or has anyone found a solution?
Thank you very much!
Yup, I found the fix. It's really easy! Tell the person to do a "CHLS Refresh", and then restart your phone.

Thanks! I also just saw the thread in the General section about all the lucky people who achieved S-Off without the error.
I'll call them back tomorrow and report back.
i had the same error after rooting my phone, just try to call any number, and after listen to the message, it will connect you to a sprint rep. they will confirm some information with you and they will tell you that they will reset from their side and ask to turn off the phone for 30 sec and boom, it's a go.
After some thought, I realized both Sprint reps only had me pull the battery for a few seconds. I decided to leave the battery out for about 5 minutes and when I powered back on, I was able to connect to voicemail. I let it stay connected for a bit and then was able to make phone calls and texts. Suddenly, I began receiving Error 67 messages, so I updated profile and PRL. Since then, (knock on wood) everything has been ok. Phew!
Forgot to mention this tidbit of wisdom from the 2nd Sprint rep: She told me my problems with making calls was because there's an outage in my area. I told her that wasn't likely because I was using another Sprint phone to talk to her. She still persisted in saying it was an outage. Yay!
That's it? no other responses to this. My sons phone is a paper weight at the moment. He can't even dial Sprint and nothing else has worked. Anyone have another idea?
I know it's been a pretty common issue for rooted EVO 3D users to get an error 16 while roaming, which requires them to call Sprint and go through some rigmarole to get the phone working again.
I seem to be having a different (although similar) issue. I have no issues making calls, or with data while I'm on the Sprint network. But now that I'm roaming off of a nearby Verizon tower out here in the middle of no-where, I'm having issues. I try to place a call, and immediately the phone sounds a disconnection beep and that's it. I also do not have data.
About 45 days ago up here I received a message about not being authenticated (the error 16), but I was told that they couldn't fix this without me bringing my phone into the store. I just reset the phone and did hands free activation again, and avoided the store. I haven't noticed any issues after that, and I do go in and out of roaming areas sometimes while in the city.
I just tried to do a chat with Sprint. I specifically said I had an error 16 and needed an HRL refresh (I lied). The rep had me power off my phone while she attempted to send it a signal. After this she had me dial *2 and my phone process crashed while I tried this. I also still couldn't call out. She tried having me power off again. Same problem. Next she told me to power off my phone and keep it off for 30 mins. If it wasn't fixed by then, she gave me a support number to call.
Anyway, not sure if the support number will help. Figured I'd just see if anyone has had a similar issue or experience. I found another thread mention resetting through ##786# and using your MSL to get into it. My EPST process seems to crash when I try this. ##DATA# doesn't crash though...hm.
I'm running the Synergy 3Dvo Rom (Nightly 344 I think?). Stock kernel.
Hey all, been a long time since I've been down here, but I got a Verizon S9+ last week. Bone stock with latest update. I've had wifi calling issues right from the start. My house has terrible service, so with my old S4 I was almost always on wifi calling at home.
My issues:
It seems totally random. Sometimes it automatically switches to wifi calling no problem, other times it simply won't switch, even though I can't get out a text message or a call. Usually a reboot fixes the problem, but I don't need to be rebooting all day when I'm at home, and I miss calls and texts all the time. In testing, it's switching fine sometimes, and I can run upstairs and into the basement while on a call, and it will automatically switch back and forth. Other times, if it has even one bar of service, it will not switch, even though I can't make calls or send texts.
I have tried network reset, and factory data reset, no joy. Wifi calling is on, and I set "prefer wifi while roaming". If I am in airplane mode, even when connected to wifi, it will not make a call or send a text.
Another odd issue is with a group text. If I send a text to multiple people at once, I get an "invalid address" error.
It seems a lot of people on the internet are asking about issues with wifi calling with the S9's, should I just dump this thing and downgrade to an S8?
