For some reason my rooted stock S2 (from Bell unlocked using on Rogers) can't answer calls. I can call out without any problems but if someone is calling me, it'll hang up on them as soon as I answer. They then get a busy signal.
Any ideas?

Can't find phone.apk.... I deleted the cache of dialer.apk and the problem still remains. I also completely turned off call blocking and everything.
When I answer a call, it immediately disconnects.
This is interesting to hear. My wife and i are both on rogers. She has a rooted and rommed captivate and i have a rooted and rommed nexus s. We are both having the same issues for that last couple days. Weird stuff. Never happened before.
I put my SIM card into my wife's S2 (also stock and rooted) and it works properly. Accepts incoming calls. So it must be something with my device specifically and not network related. Strange... I've removed any possible suspect apps to no avail so far. Perhaps a core app update is the culprit.
Ya I am confused lol. I have been on the same rom for a few weeks now. Just started happening to both of us all of a sudden. Not sure if it is a certain app that we both have installed and its screwing up our phones? Just not sure at all.

Please let me know if you find a solution. I am trying a few things but no luck
I've been having the same issue with incoming calls all weekend, in my case I was able to rule out hardware by swapping SIMs with another Rogers phone.
On the phone a few times with Rogers Tec Support and I was told this was an issue on their end, from what I'm told it's related to the Rogers One Number service which I did register for a couple of months back. Although I don't use the RON service anymore it's still active on my account.
I just had Tec Support remove it from my account and am just now getting my incoming calls again.

This may be it. I recently signed up for Rogers One Number but never use it. That's the difference me and the wife's S2. She's not registered for One Number. Hmmmm..... But it's weird that my SIM accepts incoming calls on her device though.

Anyone else have this issue.
I have a problem when people call or when I call them. It only happens sometimes, but I can hear them and they can't hear me. I thought maybe it had something to do with using google maps/gps or a problem with google voice. It happens on my normal # and my google voice #.
Anyone else have this problem. I am rooted, had stock, stock debloated, and now Virus ROM, and it has happened on all 3. Should I go back to stock and go request a new phone from verizon?
I would, just for the fact that you will get a NEW phone, not a like-new phone. You know you can root it and get everything back, might as well get a brand new phone while you can.
Check their carrier. I have always had this when people with ATT call me on Verizon. I'm not sure which carrier as at fault .. but I haven't had this issue with anyone that didn't have ATT. And my friends sub ATT have had this issue only with Verizon. Seems weird, but I've noticed this happening to a large group of my friends ... And it just started to happen recently. Happened on my dinc and its still happening on my thunderbolt

Verizon is overnighting me a new phone today, so problem will hopefully be solved.
Phone: HTC Amaze 4g
Provider: T mobile
Okay I have been having this problem for about 2 months now and I'm tired of it ! I cannot call or text just one person in my contacts *my girlfriend* and I'm really trying everything possible to try and fix it. I've deleted her contact , I've entered her number manually, I've factory reset my phone. I can call her once in a while but its usually rarely ! I can get her texts but not her calls. And she can't get my texts or calls. Someone please help and thank you
Did you buy your phone on Craig's or Ebay or Backpage?
No I got the phone brand new from t mobile. Before we were able to talk fine and then just one day we couldn't for some reason.
Could be Sim related. Walk into a Tmo store and see what they say.
Is it rooted and Rom'd?

Try your sim card in another phone and call/text her. I'd it works its your phone if not the possibly your sim. You can also try the same thing with her phone to see if the issue is her sim.
Good luck!

Ok so I finally fixed my charging issues with a new charger port, exact same piece as the last one, but now I'm not receiving texts or calls.
I have never rooted this phone, I have only updated it to 4.1.2, and I did a clear cache and factory reset just to make sure it wasn't a buggy app or anything. But still I get no texts or calls, and that's a major issue. I'm not sure what's wrong with it, I made sure every connection on the inside was connected. Someone please help, I can't deal with a phone giving me more issues.

I'd rather not have to deal with AT&T, their customer service has always been a pain for me to use. The network works just fine using my older phone, which is only using 3G, and it works fine on my parents' phones and they also use the Note but they've never had issues with the charge port or the network like I have. Is it just something with the new pcb that has the charge port?
Modem
Try finding the stock modem for your device and flashing it from twrp, I had a bit of a signal issue on mine earlier and that fixed it
If you are using a sim card from another phone, you will need to get a 4G sim card from at&t. Or you can deal with customer service and ask them to reprovision your sim card.

And I'm using my 4G sim in my old phone, the note came with the 4G sim.
It is the usb charge port that you replaced causing the problems. Went through 3 different ones to get one that worked. Double check that you got the grey wire connected properly also. Look for version 3 parts.
So to make a long story short, for the past few weeks I have not been able to send sms. It happened all of a sudden and with no changes to cause it. I can send mms, receive and make calls, but no sms. Took it to Verizon yesterday with the thought in mind that I had a faulty simple card, they tried another one and nothing. Factory reset, nothing. Spent two hours watching them try tthe same things I did. Then they gave up and said to refer to samsung. My question is, is this a software issue? And will rooting and throwing a rom on do the trick? Also is there a root method for after the 4.3 update at the moment?

Check to see if you are on Global or CDMA/LTE/EVDO
settings/more networks/mobile networks/network mode
I was having issues receiving MMS messages and set this from global back CDMA/LTE/EVDo and that fixed it.

Did you try a factory reset???
Hey bud... had the same issue. Over and over for quite some time (since before owning the S4).
Only real fix was to reset the phone (stock, rooted, or custom rom)... only to have it crop up later, again and again.
Last call to VZW and the girl had me swap my SIM and get a new phone, this was while I was on vacation and when I got home, the phone hard bricked on the MJ7 update. So I am not sure what is what and not even sure if it will crop up again. I haven't seen the issue for a few weeks though.
I do have a little, non scientific, theory on this.
Everytime I have had this occur that I can recall, I was traveling from my home. Maybe 100 miles or more. VZW messaging (web) never got any of the messages and the VZW rep can see the messages come into their system and the system believes it is delivering the messages. This also occured with the GNex.
I am assuming that one of two things are going on here.... something is messed up with my provisioning (and your's maybe) or there is an issue with handoffs.
A friend of mine went through the same thing until I did this:
Turn off the radios one by one including: bluetooth, mobile network, and then do airplane mode. Make sure you're on the CDMA/EvDO/LTE settings instead of global. Reboot the phone. Turn off airplane mode, and then turn on your mobile network and give it about a minute. Then try sending SMS.

Damn ... I was hoping that was the ticket. Your phone might need to be provisioned. *228 to make sure it has updated PRLs. Failing that, you may need to call up VZW.

It is a known Verizon network issue. There is people way above the front line staff working on it. They don't tell the front line staff this because since it's just limited to aosp and they only support stock, unrooted phones they tell people there is no issue. They could send you ten replacements phones and they all will do the same thing. It's not the phone, it's not the AOSP rom, and it's not your sim card. It's a bizzare issue that makes all aosp roms ever made not work in certain areas, mostly central pa but others as well. There is another xda user working directly with the engineers providing me updates. I will let you know when we find out a resolution.
Here is my thread which is for the Note 2 with the same issue. There is also links that others have posted in my thread with the exact same symptoms since 2/20/14.

My wife and I both have brand new Galaxy S5s, and we both intermittently experience this problem. One of us will send a text message to the other, the text will show as being sent, but the other person doesn't receive it. If the person set to receive the message reboots their phone, the message comes through (as well as any other "pending" messages), and normal phone use continues for a few days until this issue returns. Rebooting seems to always fix the issue temporarily.
This of course is not limited to just communication between our phones, but I was using that as an example. Often times, I'll reboot my phone, and realize I have 3 new text messages, and 2 voicemails from yesterday. Very frustrating.
Phone calls are also affected. When these symptoms are present, phone calls cannot be placed or received until the phone is rebooted. Incoming calls go directly to voicemail.
The worst part of it is, there is no easy way to tell our phones are not connected to the network. The reception status shows good connectivity. Most of the time we're connected to wifi, so email and browsing the internet still work.
I'm just wondering if other people are experiencing this, or have any suggestions of some things we can try. Thanks for the help.

From what I know T-Mobile doesn't care if your phone is rooted because you're not doing any warranty service. If that was the case they will probably tell you that its voided.. I have seen a few that root their own phones at their job so I doubt it'll be a problem. But I guess every T-Mobile store isn't the same..

Yes this is the exact problem I had with last GS5. Tmobile replaced it and I still have this problem with the new GS5. The tried to tell me it was just how the old GS5 settings were set. They had me do Factory reset many times, it never helped. Now with the replacement GS5 the exact same problem. Like you everything looks great on the display. I would just get calls on my home line wanting to know why I never answer my mobile phone. The only thing that helps me is a restart but it is only temporary. Do you know if they have released a fix for this problem?

The only thing it seems the tmobile employees know how to do is a factory reset .. That is their solution for about everything . Like the other guy said they dont handle warranty . That is for your samsung warranty when knox is tripped . If you have handset protection nothing voids it from what i have seen . I think tmobile would rather replace a rooted phone than one with a cracked screen .
