Having a really weird problem.
Every time I try to make a call, the call timer starts and gets to 5 seconds before saying call ended and I get a "beep" from the phone. No dial tone or anything. Then if I call my phone number it tells me that the call can't be completed.
I have pulled the battery and sim card. I even thought it might be related to the boot looping issue. So I was going to try and see what mode the phone was in. But I can't get the *#*#4636#*#* number to work. I dial it and nothing happens.
I did confirm that I could still connect to the mobile network and was still receiving data.
Also I might add I just did the ICS OTA update a couple days ago. After that I went through the process of unlocking the bootloader and rooting the phone. Haven't flashed a rom or anything. And the phone worked fine for a couple days, and boom now I can't make calls. I did uninstall updates and disable both the blockbuster and nfl mobile app.
Anyone have any possible advice?
Ok apparently Verizon is having problems in Columbia.

you can get into the 4636 hidden menu by using the HZutils app.

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 !!!
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?
Hey all so today I tried to make a phone call but after I dial the # and press call after like 3 seconds it goes straight to call ended. I can send texts and receive them and also use the data. Also I've had this phone for 4months now and never experienced this issue any ideas? I also haven't downloaded/installed anything recently

Try to use the SIM card with another phone.
Just to check, if it is a problem with the SIM card / your carrier or phone-related.
And why do you have to dial a "#"?
Are there no phone numbers without this symbol/sign just to make a test call?
Maybe it is just an issue to transfer the "#" from your phone => mobile provider => ...?!
A week ago my phone started acting weird by not being able to unlock the screen, I would have to power off and start up again. Then I could not receive texts and called att who said he would reregister my phone and then I would get all my texts. That worked but my phone is still getting locked up sometimes when I try to make a call it will turn black and do nothing. And the screen will not unlock other times. I am have to shut it down and reboot almost every day. Any Ideas how to fix this?
Thanks in advance.
Have you installed/flashed anything lately?
Perhaps make a complete backup of your phone logs and SMS, then do a wipe/factory reset. Then install your apps from the market, and restore SMS and call logs.
I have a DNA that I am trying to let a friend use, but when he puts his SIM in the phone it doesn't fully activate. He has tried two SIM cards and I have tried another persons SIM and it will only get data. I changed some settings in a manual programming to his phone number and he could receive sms but still not able to make calls or send text messages.Whenever it dials out, it makes no sound, no dial tone and it says "null" in the upper left corner of the dialer. Has anyone heard of this or know anything that I can do to get his phone working. It is completely stock no s-off not rooted nothing. It has been factory reset too many times to count...
Edit: Looks like the OTA got it working!
