Hey guys, this did not happen at first, but today I have been experiencing some big issues with my phone.
I have been using the UVLK1 ICS based radio since I am an AT&T Galaxy Note user on the T-Mobile Network.
People have been calling me and my phone isn't ringing. I am getting Google Voice e-mails for voicemails they leave me but the phone never rang. I am at work where I always have gotten great service at all times. I rebooted the phone and it is still doing the same thing.
Any ideas?
Now I can't even make calls...the phone disconnects the call right after I tap the make call button...
Now I flashed the Blaze 4G radio, doing the same thing. Can't receive calls and immediately disconnecting when trying to place calls.
Data isn't working either..
Pulled the SIM card, put back in, problem solved. Weird!
It is doing it again! This morning it happened and I had to pull battery and SIM, reboot, it worked but shortly after stopped working...
issues with TMobile radios on galaxy note
I have experienced similar problems as well, but not to the extent to where my phone doesn't work at all. Since TMobile sells the Note now, I'm sure someone will port the full ROM or at least the radio.

i'm using the SGH-I727 with various T-Mobile radios and having the same issue, kinda. It will work for about 3-5 hours then stop. The signal meter still works, 2-3 bars in my area, even flucuates. However it will say (Searching) and nothing comes in or goes out. It does not work again until rebooted. Then the process repeats.
Any other t-mobile subscribers with you? The crazy weather might be a cause.
Can you put your sim in your back up phone?

I have been running custom roms on my droid since the root explot was first discovered, and I have a rooted xoom as well. Last night I rooted my thunderbolt and installed the debloated rom. I don't think it is even related to my problem, as it still worked fine after doing this, but I thought it was worth mentioning. I removed the sim card today, just to prove to my brother that it did indeed have a sim, and after reinsertation, my thunderbolt has not been able to connect to a data network. I do not live in a 4g area, and I have tried reseating the sim several times. I can make phone calls, wifi works fine, but I cannot get the 3g icon, and the browser won't load if not on wifi.. I'm starting to get scared. I can't think of anything else to try. Any suggestions?
EDIT 1: I have intermittent 1x data, but I never get 3g. And when I say intermittent, I mean I get it like right after a call for maybe a minute, then it goes away.

I had this same issue as well when I removed and reinserted my SIM card. When I booted back up I was stuck on 1xRTT. After making a call, they phone locked back on to LTE and everything was good after that. If it still isn't working I would recommend giving Verizon a call. They may be able to reactivate it. I did notice that the problem persisted even though I flashed a couple different roms on the device. I'm thinking it probably isn't a great idea to remove and insert the SIM if you don't have to.
Just an update,
I spent 2.5 hours at the effing verizon store today after spending an hour on the phone. Even after all that time, and giving me a new SIM, they STILL couldn't get my TB to connect to 3g. They said that it might magically start working at midnight for no particular reason, but had no clue what to do (I was actually at a corporate store btw) If it doesnt start working tonight, I am going back tomorrow. I have no idea what the hell is up. I am very tech savvy, and this is just insane. It must be a verizon problem in my area that it wont let the phone reactivate for the 3g/4g
Hey, I posted this over at AVForums and didnt get a response and thought that you guys over here are probablt better informed. Below is a quote of the thread I started:
Well to start off, i'll tell you I am on the one plan with 3 and have a brand new sim free htc evo 3d.
Ive had the phone for about 2 weeks and it has worked perfectly ever since I got it. About 4 days ago, I noticed that texts were taking hours to come through. I then noticed that calls were never coming through and going straight to voicemail. Called 3, they blamed the phone but made sure call diverts were off anyway.
Calls were still going straight to voicemail but occasionally when phoning my number, I would get the dial tone but my phone wasnt ringing. I then put my misus t-mobile sim into my phone but I was getting the exact same problem, no calls were coming through. Couldnt put my sim into my misus phone as its sim locked.
I called 3 again, they said it must be the phone. I phone Amazon, they say phone HTC. HTC couldnt help so Amazon agreed to replace the phone. I now have old and new phone in possession. Using my old phone earlier today, I could no longer send text messages but I could receive them ok. The occasional call was coming through but most werent.
Ive now just set up the replacement phone. Everything was working fine for the first 5 minutes but now I cant send texts and calls arent coming through again.
Logically thinking, it surely cant be the phone and must be the sim card, but then again, my misus t-mobile sim showed the same problems in my phone which suggests it is the phone!
Im obviously going to phone 3 tomorrow but I want to be prepared for my argument. If it does end up being the sim, how can I explain to Amazon that I have opened the replacement phone but now need to send it back because there was nothing wrong with my phone in the first place. Surely they would be entitled to charge me or something for doing that?
Hope it all makes sense and I look forward to your responses!
EDIT: Forgot to mention that data is working fine. my 3g connection did drop at work the other day for no apparent reason, but calls and texts were working fine during this period, I guess its more when connected to 3g. There is no gsm only mode to test the phone either!
EDIT 2: Sometimes when calling my phone, I get the dial tone but my phone doesnt ring. However when the screen is on and the phone is out of standby, my phone receives calls fine! It does sometimes goes straight to voicemail but its just so confusing! I just did a test there, phone in standby, called it from my landline. I get the dial tone, but the phone doesnt ring. Whilst im still calling it, I wake my phone and it starts ringing! What the hell is going on!!!
Just a quick update and really hoping someone can offer some input!
I am at work just now, about 5 miles from my home address. So far today, my phone has been working fine at work. I visted the 3 store just round the corner from here, told him my story and he sadi it must be the handset due to the same issue with a t-mobile sim. I did mention the 3/t-mobile network sharing agreement and how they could be connecting to the same masts but he was adamant that no such thing exists. He also argued that the auction for the old analogue spectrum was for additional 3g capacity and not 4g. I did argue with him but he was clueless!
Anyways.... My phone worked fine in the shop so he said test with another sim card and if the problem persists, they would change the sim card. Ive came back to work and again, everything works well. I tried a vodafone sim card and again, all is ok!
When I think about it, my phone has pretty much worked fine when at work apart from not being able to connect to 3g the other day. This leads we to believe that there was be something wrong with my local mast at home, but if this was the case, why has it not been widely reported? Then again, the T-Mobile sim didnt work in my phone when at home, but worked fine in my misus htc desire. I have noticed that she is connected to 't-mobile orange' for 3g when its usually just 't-mobile'. Is it that her phone recognises a problem so switches to an orange mast?
This is doing my head in!
Thanks
EDIT: Sorry for posting in the wrong thread, I did wonder if I goty it right but clearly I didnt!

Moving to Q&A
I have a Bell atrix phone unlocked and currently on Rogers system. Once a day i get the call ended 0:00 error when attempting to make a call, or I can't receive a call. A reboot fixes the problem. Not sure if its a setting that i have in my phone, I have done a factory reset, but i still happens. Any solutions. Called motorola and i get the famous "we never heard of this problem, send your phone in for repair" line. HELP please its driving me nuts.
Same problem here but I have an AT&T Atrix on Straight Talk
i also have had this problem, at&t phone
have changed radios, roms, still have the problem.
i'm going to ask for a sim replacement, see if that works.

Let me know how that works for you. Getting a replacement sim from straight talk is a pain in the A$$!!!
For some reason it just started hanging up whenever i try to make a call with google voice or without...
I uninstalled and reinstalled google voice with the same issue...
Phone is working fine randomly... Still says 0:00 when I hang up after a long call. lol
Did the same thing to me on one certain phone number with Att cyanogenmod.
I remember deleting the area code off and dialing again for the fix.

Just very strange when I originally made the switch to my verizon phone to AT&T it was because Verizon had no service at my work and AT&T had excellent service...
it worked beautifully for a months, always had HSPA+ with the Atrix or "3.5G" with the E71
Now i always have Edge or nothing and it's dropping calls like crazy and doing this 0:00 thing...
Going to swap over to a new sim as well and see what happens.
Just got my new sim and ported over.
Still stuck on edge with 1-3 bars where before i was always 3g-hspa+
I'll check back in the 0:00 issue after i have made some calls
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

Hello all,
I am having an intermittent but a strange signal problem with my wife's OnePlus X and I suspect that this is some sort of software issue with the modem firmware and not a hardware fault.
Basically if you reboot the phone, 9 times out of 10 there will be absolutely no signal whatsoever on the 3 UK network, the phone will just state emergency calls only. This happens on both 3G and 4G, but we usually have 4G turned off as there are not many areas within our region that support 4G yet. If you search Available Networks 3 doesn't show up.
Usually leaving the phone for hours the signal will come back, but sometimes it can be fixed by going into the Test Menu by putting *#*#4636#*#* into the dialer and going to Phone Information -> Toggling the Radio off and On a few times, but this doesn’t work every time. My phone is also on the Three network, so I have tried putting both SIMS's in the OnePlus X at the same time and the same issue occurs in both SIM Slots. If I put a Vodafone SIM in as well as the Three SIM, the Vodafone SIM works absolutely fine, regardless of the SIM slot it goes in, but it maintains a signal each time. The problem isn’t signal in the area as we have full signal in our house. If I put my wife's SIM into my LG G4 it works absolutely fine 100% of the time.
Three will not help us as the phone isn’t supplied by them, this is getting to the point now where this phone is becoming unreliable to use because if you have to reboot, chances are you won't have any signal for hours on end.
This happens on OOS and CM13 and has done for months.
Has anyone come across this issue before?
Just wondered if anyone else has experienced this?

I have the same problem and solution is nowhere to be found...
Did you find any solution to this? I've got this problem with my OPX.

Are you sure it's not the carrier's fault?

My wife ended up getting rid of the phone a few months ago, she couldnt put up with it any longer as it was just the same. I don't think it was a hardware fault with the phone as it worked fine on any other network but Three. The phone supported all the frequencies that Three offers, so I have no idea why it didnt work right but certainly something wasn't right.

When I had recently visited the UK, I had trouble connecting to the Three as well(through my home SIM as International Roaming). It didn't work so I ended up buying an O2 SIM that worked just fine.
I fixed it by putting some scotch tape over the back of the sim card, My OPX is almost 2 years old and the sim card is not in good contact with the phone inside I think.
