Very weird issue I've never encountered - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4

I'm pretty well-versed in all of this, I help in these threads more often than not, but this has never happened to me. When I call my girlfriend, it rings a few times then goes to voicemail, the call never shows up on her phone. She has an iPhone 5 and has no problems with anyone else calling her or her calling me. I have no problems calling anyone else or receiving calls.
The weird thing is that this happens among multiple different rom's and kernel's. Anyone have ideas?

She also can't receive my texts. She can receive my calls if I *67 before hand.

Are you sure the problem isn't on her end? Maybe your number was accidentally blocked?

I checked and I wasn't blocked. That was my first guess of course. I don't know lol I used Odin and its good now. I can't begin to guess what the cause the was.

I've had similar things happen to me and my girl, she's on sprint though and kind of just blamed them! Like it gets lost in phone land or something

I think the problem is on her end.
If your phone is registered with the network and you can call others; it has to be her end.
Rolling into voicemail, dialing *67 before you dial out are indications of something on her end blocking calls and text from callers with caller ID blocked.

People can't hear me incoming/outgoing calls occasional glitch

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

Xperia S AT&T delayed texts and missing calls?

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?
Sent from my Xperia S using Tapatalk 2
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..

Calling AT&T customers.

I'm currently running Virus's sense 4.0 rom, whenever I try to call At&t customers the calls always go to "the number or code you have dialed is incorrect". Has anyone else had this problem? Is it something I can fix or something on the sprint side?
Sent from my PG86100 using Tapatalk 2
Man, I can't even send them regular texts. The only thing they can get from me is picture mail. So I always gotta send something stupid in order to communicate with them.
Well your first mistake is being an att subscriber
As for the rom id wipe and reflash and see if that solves your issue
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA
He's not an att subscriber he's referring to the people whom he sends texts and mms to. @op I really don't think there's anything you can do from your end.

[Q] Samsung Galaxy S5 losing network connectivity

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.

@Skyrocket2
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.
guys, i have the latest firmware and the same problem... any solution or fix?

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 .

Not getting texts

My gf has been complaining about her not coming in or sending. I've read a story about sending people coming from iPhone might have the problem but she had a Note 5 previously. Anyone with the same issue or have any suggestions?
Check with carrier first. Then a network reset.
i've got a verizon phone with a t-mobile sim to complicate things, but yeah, i've missed texts and calls. i'd just suddenly get a voicemail without the missed call
