Hi guys
I have a really annoying issue with my galaxy s2. It seems to be stuck on emergency calls only and will not let me send texts, call people, etc. I have tried everything- restore stock firmware, factory reset, repair apps and nothing has worked. My IMEI number is not null and it matches the one on my phones box. I dont know what else to try so any help would be very much appreciated
Carrier-side I reckon. Call them to ensure there's nothing at their end responsible. Given what you're already tried, and given your IMEI hasn't gone away, seems a bit curious you'd lose connectivity all of a sudden like that (unless it's a hardware issue).

I checked and there is no carrier issue and it works fine in other phones
In case and if you're using stock firmware:
1. Boot into Recovery Mode
2. Perform a full factory reset by wiping /data partition.
3. Reboot and see if it fixes the problem
However, try and use a custom firmware in case your OS is causing the problem. When it comes to me, the hardware doesn't have to be necessarily damaged or affected in such a case since the phone app is on emergency calls, so it's fully accessible. I recommend checking the app settings again (maybe tapped on something accidently), but nevertheless, I prefer trying a custom Rom to verify that it's a software issue, or simply flash your stock firmware through ODIN to fix any issue if persisted.

Ok so have really disturbing problem with a new SGS2. When i receive a txt message, i might get the same messages multiple times (record 17 times), and sometimes phone doesn't notify me about new message before i personally open the screen and start using the phone! Firmware causing this? Modem? Kernel?
I'd be really really happy to get help for this one!!
is it an imported device? sounds like your carriers settings are wrong. do you have the same problem with mms?
Sent from my GT-I9100
No it's not imported.. Bought from DNA (Finnish mobile operator), and carrier settings seems to be correct.. And as far as i've noticed same thing appears also with mms..
you'll might want to try to do a soft reset of the phone to the factory defaults to see if it helps? else if you can actually try to flash your phone with either the stock ROMs or custom ROMs.. hope this reslove your problems.
Ok now after i've tried every single thing, the device has been changed to new one. Possisble that modem component was broken and causing these problems.
I have been rooting and installing custom roms for a while. I'm no expert, but now newb either. I recently rooted my S4. It's running on the stock verizon ME7 build.
The problem I have been having is that a few minutes after I reboot it all the sounds stop working. No music, notification or in call sounds. If I restart it goes away for a little while, but soon comes back. I tried factory defaulting it, which worked for a little while, but it recently started doing it again. The only thing I can think of is I installed avast Anti-theft with root access recently. Has anyone else had this problem & do you know of a solution? I can always try factory defaulting it again to see if that helps, but I would like to know if anyone else has any ideas.
Odined back
I tried everything I could thing of, then decided to Odin back to stock. Same problem started almost immediately . There are no system sounds and I can not hear anything when I call. Also it does not pick up sounds from my voice via voice commands & the person on the other end of my calls can not hear me. At this point I wonder if blocking is some how activated. Since Verizon was nice enough to prevent me from making changes to it I can't check.... Upwards on onward. I will keep this updated in-case someone else has this problem.
I have noticed that when I am in recovery, if I try to wipe the cache partition. I get a android on his back with a triangle exclamation point & then it reboots itself... Is this normal. I have never experienced this behavior before.
I installed the blocking mode MOD. It does not seem to be the problem. No sounds after using the phone for a few minutes. I guess its time to send it back. I really enjoyed the phone. But I seems like a received a bad one. Unless anyone has anythoughts.
When your sound stops have you tried to see if it is working with headphones or Bluetooth? If there is no sound using headphones or a Bluetooth device there's probably an issue with the phone itself. If you've done a stock Odin flash and its still doing it, I would have to guess the phone is bad. Send it back. The only problem you might have is if they check the flash count, you may end up paying for a new phone. I've never had to use Triangle Away to reset my flash counter, but I believe it needs to be flashed in a custom recovery (which you don't have).

I'm having issues with my calls ever since I changed my S3 configuration (ROM, kernel, apps, framework…).
On most of them, I get a soft reboot at the start or in the middle of the conversation.
I've tried changing the modem but there were no results.
How can I diagnose the problem?
Thanks.
P.D: You can see my config on my signature
It just happened again. I have read the logs but I can't figure out the problem.
Any help?
Thanks.

If you have overclocked then lower the frequency I had the same issue on another device and doing so resolved it
We'll see if that's the issue. Thanks for the tip, I'll keep you guys informed.
Have you tried changing kernels, it happened to me once from a custom kernel
Well, I'm very happy with my kernel, but if the problem persist I will consider it.
Thanks!
The problem persists. May be that I installed BusyBox from Play Store when I had it already from the ROM & Kernel?
Yeah most likely thats the problem, try flashing your rom again

I have uninstalled BusyBox, reflashed the ROM and changed the kernel. I'll keep you guys informed.
So far so good, the system was even better (a lot more stable) and no call reboots. But just now I've had the first one. I guess the number of call reboots have decreased (I'm not sure because it is a ramdom thing) and that's good but, again, any way of diagnose the problem?
Thanks!
EDIT
I often lose my APN settings and I had to reboot the device (a soft reboot is valid as well), may that problem be linked to the other?
I've performed a full wipe and started all over again. Let's see if this time everything works well...
Unbelievable. I did every single thing from scratch and the phone was perfect. Today I make my first call after all the mess and configuration and AGAIN, a soft reboot.
I'm 100% out of ideas here. Is there something, ANYTHING I can do to confront the problem? Some kind of log or monitoring action so I can know a litte bit more about this??
Please, I'm REALLY desperate right now…
I've installed the app SIM Card Manager and the phone field was unkwown. I rebooted and my phone showed up correctly. Maybe the app's fault or my SIM is half-broken? Or is it the phone lector?
Tomorrow I'm changing my SIM for a new one and let's see what happens, really out of ideas right now...
I think I found the cause of the problem.
This modification along with the Xposed app StatusbarVolume seems to cause the reboot when I try to change the volume when in a call.
I can't be 100% sure this is the faliure scenario because the bug is a little bit random, but I am 99% sure anyway.
EDIT
Not sure if the cause is the volume unlink, or the Statusbarvolume overlay failing to show up in call if it has never been invoked outside of a call before since the phone startup. May be a mix of the two things.
Model: G850F
ROM: most latest official 5.0.2 LRX22G.G850FXXU2COI3
CSC: SEB
Baseband version: G850FXXU1COI3
Problem:
Random periodic audio disappearance in all apps, including incoming and outgoing calls.
Symptoms:
When trying to make an outgoing call - i can see the "Dialing" text, but no sound and no further actions, the phone is not actually calling, i can hear no sound, no ringing. The same if i get the incoming call - i couldn't hear any ring, while trying to pick up the phone (i can see on the display, that someone is calling) - the call application freezes.
No sound in any application. Phone starts to heat, in process manager i can see, that the "spi1" process is overloading the CPU. According to the adb phone debugging the "spi1" process refers to the audio chip, connected to serial peripheral bus of the phone. Only restart of the phone helps.
The problem occurrs - ~twice a week.
Tried:
To reset the phone to factory default settings, wipe cache, no 3rd party apps installed (only default stock apps).
Have contacted the samsung warranty center for 6 times already, they have replaced the following parts: the main board (they said, that they did change it, but IMEI did not change, a little bit weird ?), finger scanner, display. Nothing helps, the problem still present.
I will never never never never buy a SAMSUNG phone anymore
As far as i remember, the problem was present in the initial Android 4.4.4 but it more rarely occurred.
Tried googling - nothing helps despite of the simplest advices.
Confused, did not have any ideas. Don't want to void warranty to try the custom ROM.
Any help highly appreciated.
Well since you already changed alot of the hardware on the phone why not try custom rom? That might actually show if the problem is software or hardware based.

Did this just happen out of the blue or has it always happened? Did this just happen after an OTA update?
Did you modify the phone at all (root/etc)... did you power cycle the phone, clear cache partition, try doing the factory data reset the phone?
If software issues can be ruled out then it's very likely a hardware issue. You will have to have the phone serviced.

If you do the factory data reset be sure to try the camera at the default settings... Try it a few times to make sure that it works (or doesn't work) more then once. If it works with default settings then make a change to bring it closer to what you had it at before.
Ultimately your trying to see if it is a software issue (a setting) that is causing you the problem. By making small changes here and there you can know which change caused the issue. Making more then one change at a time will make it harder to narrow down the cause.
The Factory Data Reset will hopefully resolve any software related issues on the phone. Try to not use a smart switch backup, it may cause the problem to come back again. I ran into this with my dialer app hanging up on all outgoing calls... FDR without using a smart switch backup worked perfectly, using the smart switch backup just caused the problem with the dialer to happen again.
