I've been using my new unlocked S on AT&T for a few days now, and people have been trying to call me, but it never shows up on my phone. However, it only happens sometimes. I could receive a call from someone at a certain time, and then one hour later not receive that same person's call. In addition, many texts I receive are delayed from anywhere between 5 minutes and one hour. I noticed that it seems like the phone's radio goes "inactive", causing these issues, as when I used my phone to open up the Facebook app, as soon as it began loading the content my phone exploded with texts sent half an hour before. Finally, and I'm not sure if this is related to these issues, but I've noticed that my phone's clock falls ahead or behind ten minites , causing me to have to manually reset it. This happens at least once a day. I've turned off the set automatically feature as the network time is apparently ten minutes ahead of the real time.
These kinds of issues (besides the clock resetting) aren't new to this phone; I had an Xperia Play for the past week and it too would delay texts, however it wouldn't send texts at all. I live right in the middle of AT&T's large 4G area in Phoenix, what could be the problem?

Try repairing the phone through update service or PCC.

I have same problem like you ( sim unlocked) buyed in germany using on t-mobile in croatia.
First try to contact your operator and check if 2g and 3g work properly.
I had to write multiple numbers who try to contact me, when, and from where, as well where i was in that time..
For now we cant figure out if it is phone problem, software problem or simply their false..
And i know is really anoying when you have phone turned on all the time and when somebody try to call it says is off..
I had few emercgeny calls so i missed them as well...

But since I've experience similar issues using different phones, doesn't that pretty much eliminate the possibility of it being a problem with the phone?

Please, someone help me? The time is constantly resetting itself and I'm pretty much not getting any texts or calls anymore. Weirdly, if someone texts me a bunch and I don't get them, if I call them and start talking, my phone explodes with every single text message I didn't get. Kind of inconvenient to have to call someone to check my texts.

I remember there was a similar problem with o2x and cm7. It was solved by turning of automatic time update in settings. Maybe it works for this phone too..

my firware is R26 Root. My friend told me many times my phone signal is not available. but i checked the phone , still with signal strength.
I doubt the main reason is I installed task manager to control memory usage. It might close some important program or service to cause phone function abnormal.
I ever swith to flight mode then back. this still can't solve it , until i power off , then power again. Any one know which service or program must be exist to prevent my phone working perperly ? Thanks.
I also have the same problem, sometimes my friends try to call and it goes straight to the voicemail service, even when my signal is at full strength...

My phone has been doing the same thing recently. By any chance are you both on Orange UK? There have been alot of data and network issues recently. Try phoning tech support and they have an automated message saying that there are problems. It's been going on for nearly two weeks on and off. Its getting really annoying now.
O2 uk here, have had this issue since I got the phone on and off.
Flashing, updating, rooting, nothing has corrected it.
It is also a problem for some of my friends on different networks, and this leads me to believe it is the phone, software or hardware not sure, as opposed to the network.

I find that when i enter my pin code en register my sim. After it went to flightmode. I won't go into flightmode again after that. Unless i use the taskkiller again.
Also not everytime i kill all apps, this happends.
Same with you guys ? Running Rooted R2BA026 here x10i
OrangeUK here... same problem... will phone them tomorrow and post here the results.. I also noticed a strange error when i activate and deactivate plane mode, 3g stop working... and i need to reboot the phone to get it to work again.. same thing happen when I deactivate and activate again MMS&DATA Connection... then i have to reboot the phone to make it work again...
Anyone has the same prob???

Task killer gave a strange fault for me. Make a call, talk as you do, screen goes black, loud click in ear piece, screen comes back on. I had task killer set to work on screen going blank. Removed it, fault gone.
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
Remove the dialer and the android.serviceprovider.apk (something like that) from the task killer auto kill list. Put it on ignore list. It should work fine after that I guess.
Please don't even start about orange uk. I switched from o2 to orange so I could get a white x10. Worst mistake I've ever made. Where I work I get constant signal drop out even though the phone says I have full signal and it 3g signal is always inconsistance, and I work in a major town in essex. Had these problems ever since I've owned the phone and had many an argument with customer services who dont listen to you and just say there are a couple of masts in the area that are broken. Basically orange are full of s**t about there wonderful coverage in the uk!
Sorry you have had to read all that, just my 2 cents.

Been having issues since last night. Samsung Galaxy S3 Three UK Network.
Since about 5pm last night i have been unable to make/receive calls and texts. When i go to dial a number it says dialling on the screen and doesn't do anything. Signal is full. If i try it perhaps four or five times it will eventually dial out but after talking for a few minutes the voice goes like a robot and is as if someone is talking under water. Cant make anything out. Same when someone calls me. Goes to answerphone and after about 5 attempts at calling me my phone will ring.
Texts are coming up fail every now and then and my 3G signal keeps alternating between H+,H and 3g and only works every few minutes.
Have called Three but its torture. They say no problem at their end and have escalated my issue which can take up to THREE days for someone to respond.
As phone is an S3 and as its a micro sim i cant try the sim in another phone as my other phones are normal sized sims. Did try putting it in anyway but the phone wouldnt detect it. Have also tried a factory reset with no joy.
So frustrating as it seems to be intermittent.
Any ideas :good:
Is this since after the jb update? You may wish to try flashing the same firmware using odin and see that sorts it out. 3G signal on Three basically means nothing is working anyway.. lousy network

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.

Well, that was very timely. I'm glad they released a fix the same day I decided to ask for help. I appreciate the link, and I'll install it and see how it works out. Cheers.
The update killed a lot of people's data speeds. I made a ticket with t-mobile techs. I suggest anyone else with bad data speeds after the new update do the same.

Yep. Mine is down to 1 now. I have several tickets already open with them. This phone has been nothing but trouble.
I had the same issue. went to the T-Mobile store and they told me it was a problem with the isis sim card. They replaced it with a non isis sim and all is good now.

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?

Since upgrading the latest firmware, we have not experienced the problems again. We've been having good service since then. I would definitely suggest you get the latest firmware.

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 .

Samsung S5 network connectivity loss

My wife's phone will send multiple duplicate text messages, on her phone it shows only one sent, but on my end (and other peoples) I will get 2-3 duplicate messages in a row, I thought it was just mine until I questioned her about it and she said everyone she sends text's to complains of it.... I told her to go to the verizon store so she did and they dont know why it is happening, she tried to do a factory reset and it seemed to fix it for a few days but it is happening again. Her phone is completely stock, I did no modifications at all to it, she tried different messaging apps and they all do it, I think it is something with the network but verizon says there is nothing they can do... Has anyone had this problem, or know what is causing it?
My wife's phone has occasionally done that too, but I don't know the cause or solution, and it only happens once every few months...maybe.
So she's on 35B?
My wife has this issue on her moto x, but it only occurs when she is at work which has horrible reception.
My phone has been doing this lately- I think it may be a reception thing where it keeps trying not knowing it succeeded. Drives me nuts.
My fiance's phone has been doing that for quite some time. We had to get to Verizon's tier 2 tech support and had them create a trouble ticket. They still haven't gotten back to new after 2 weeks.
Coincidentally she Got the notification for 46a, and since upgrading, we haven't had the issue. It's definitely a signal thing.

Hello
My wife's T-Mobile S9+ continues to have missed calls. She'll return to her desk and see a voicemail notification without the phone having rung. Since she uses it for work, it's quite frustrating.
I recently replaced the Simple Mobile sim card as a precaution.
What can I try or test?
I never have had that issue with this phone yet.. But when at home, call her phone maybe a dozen times to see what happens.. I'm willing to bet it is not the phone, but a network issue.. I have ran into this same issue, with other phones, that I use on the Sprint network.
I have the issue on cricket a lot at my house. I do I bet it's a network issue.
I'd like to think that, but my phone, also on Simple Mobile, gets all calls - real, scams, surveys, the major, etc
