Hey Guys,
I bought this phone a little while ago on Verizon, from a Verizon store. I'm one of the lucky few that was able to unlock it before their OTAs ruined life.
I'm running Clockwork touch, and it's been rom'd with a few different roms in its lifetime.
However, I've switched carriers and have run into an issue. I can text and make calls just fine, but when I try to hang up the dialer, it hangs and never finishes hanging up. It just sits there, still connected, and says "Hanging Up". The only other issue I have is that I never receive a call. When someone calls in, it rings normally, but the phone never brings up the incoming call screen.
Which leads me to believe that it's a radio firmware issue.
1: Is this correct?
2: How can I fix this? I have T-Mobile now, and have a good piece of hardware (that's totally unlocked and rooted). I'd really like to be able to continue using it.

If I'm not mistaken, the Verizon S4 lacks some of the radio bands that the T-Mobile version would have. This doesn't explain the weird no-hanging-up issue you're seeing though. What "baseband" version do you see when you go to settings->about phone->baseband

Try updating your modem, either I545VRUEMK2_modem.zip or I545VRUFNC5_modem.zip. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2487298

Flashed both modems, and same issues (though the random crasshes I was seeing of services/keyboard etc have disappeared now). I flashed a random NC2 rom, and everything worked as expected (dialer, etc) but it was full of the stock UI from Samsung. Not certain if that helps to narrow things down. I've been testing with the CM11 nightly from May 6
Below is a screenshot of what happens.. it literally just freezes at the "Hanging Up..." screen. None of the other buttons on the bottom row (dialer, mute, etc) are responsive, either. I never get an incoming call, either, despite it ringing from the other end/going to voicemail after the ring timeout.

Dialer works again. But now I have no data. Network types are set correctly (as are RUIM/SIM, etc)
Thoughts as to what might be causing this? :C I'm working to get a logcat / hoping it might shed some light.
logcat dump below, goggling from airplane mode ON to OFF (re-enabling data). Still no data connectivity :C

Check your APN settings, it should be on one named "LTE - Verizon Internet" (VZWINTERNET).

You sir, are awesome. Did the trick. Had to do a little digging to find the right APN settings (had to add it in manually - deff. didn't want Verizon settings), but it's working great now.
Still can't come up with a reason the dialer was pooping...

First of all, the APN is greyed out, so I was not able to unlock or do anything with it. So under root browser I went to build.prop and added the two lines at the end:
ril.sales_code=LOL
ro.csc.sales_code=LOL
I rebooted the device and downloaded Change APN and selected my APN and it worked for the night, but then it did not work at all. I undid the cod, rebooted, and did it again. I can add and delete APN's in Change APN, but none of the choices work. I looked online for my provider's APN settings and that did not work at all. I am still using kit kat because I was not able to update. If I update will it fix the issue? And if I update will it get rid of root? I am updating via odin.
Ok I was able to fix my own issue. Under network mode it is VERY important to have it under CDMA and NOT in LTE/CDMA.

OK so I did get it to work but what I noticed was that I only get 3G not 4GLTE like I used to. I went in to Change APN and hit menu and clicked on revert to default and that did the trick. I selected the APN called LTE Sprint OTA, went in to my settings and set the network mode to CDMA and it seems like it got 3G when I reboot. The problem now is that there is no APN selected when I turn on Change APN. I do not know what to do to get 4GLTE back. I know at least I got my internet back though. For those with similar issues I will try to find a way and research more, but I do not know for now. If someone does know a way please post it.
So today I am updating my phone using odin. I currently have 4.4.2, and I will be updating to 5.0.1 (from kitkat to lollipop). I am hoping that works. I backed up all of my stuff on Titanium Backup. I purchased something from it I forgot if it was like a special key or something but I know I have complete access to it from a while ago.
I went to sammobile.com/firmware and looked up for the one that I wanted -mine is SPH-L720. I am upgrading to the most current one that they had. Another thing I noticed too is that you have to register in order to download and the download takes forever. That is no fun at all. But right now I am at 1.0 GB of 1.4 so I will post what happens at 1.4 when I install odin -again- and when I try updating.
I also have bricked phone videos just in case something does go wrong. I will later be posting what happens and if updating was even a success, and I will also mention if 4GLTE is back or if I am still stuck using 3G. I think if I am still stuck using 3G I am not going to play with it anymore and just leave it how it is. I just hope that when I go to Mexico nothing gets messed up and I can still use my phone there. That is my biggest worry. If it all fails I am probably going to wipe out my data.
5.0.1 Update Successful
Update was a success, and for right now there is no sign of positive APN fix because my house does not have a good area of connection. But everything does seem to be ok for now. Once evverything is finished downloading because I deleted a lot of bloatware and it is all coming back I will let post if APN was fixed or not. I do notice t hat APN is still down to the 3 other APNs I had when I entered the 2 codes in build.prop, and neither is selected. But when I go pick up my siblings I will keep an eye out and see if 4GLTE does come back or not and will let everyone know if it was a fix or not.
Finally worked...but
I had a succesful update, but it did not work. I was not happy about that. I went into lollipop and it was a big disappointment. I hate it. Anyway, I did not see it get fixed. That is when I decided to just go ahead and factory reset everything. I did not want to do this because many people said that it did not work well when rooted, so I prepared myself in case I bricked my phone. But, it did not brick -hurray. And I got my APN's back. I just had some trouble with the WiFi's afterwards, but that is more of a problem with the passwords here and not because of the S4. For those who have had problems as well, there are several APN's needed that are hardly mentioned -and if they are I have never seen them being mentioned. I will post a picture. According to some people all you need is the APN section for it to work. I will also make a guide on what you can try to do if you do not want to factory reset your phone like me. It was a pain. I lost a lot of cool things I had on my phone, but hey I got 4G LTE back.

As you can see, this is what I currently have for APNs. If you do not have those, I will show you how to get them inserted if they are greyed out like mine.
The larger text us known as the title. I heard you can name that whatever you want, but you would still want to keep the same title. What matters is the APN or smaller text. That what is important.

Finally...my way of fixing it APN problems with most sprint phones I hope.
First of all, you will need to be rooted or you will have to do a factory reset on your device in order to solve this issue. I cannot tell you how to root because every device is different.
Once you are rooted, you will download some kind or root browser. My favorite is called root browser
Once you have that, open it up and grant it root permission. You should see something like this
Scroll down to where you see system on this page
Hit system and scroll down until you see build.prop
Tap on it and you will see something like this
Tap on RB Editor and you will be guided to a bunch of text. DO NOT MESS WITH THE TEXT. Just scroll all the way down. Once you are all the way down, you will input the following two lines at the end:
ril.sales_code=LOL
ro.csc.sales_code=LOL
Save it and go back. Once you save it, go ahead and reboot your device. Once you boot up go back to the play store and get Change APN
Open this up and you will be able to edit your APN settings. I am not going to mess with mine anymore so I will not have any screenshots. But make sure you click on the plus sign on the top to add and add all the ones you see here
You will be adding APNs with title and APN only. Add all the ones you see on the screen and save them. Once you have all of them, exit out and go to settings>connections>more networks>mobile networks. Under network mode click on automatic. You should not have to reboot but if you do then do so.
You might not have the automatic selection. If you don't then just click on CDMA/LTE. then go back to build.prop and erase the 2 lines of code and reboot once again.
Go back to the mobile networks and see what happens. Try going into automatic if you were not and reboot again if you have to. If this did not work then I guess it's factory reset like me. I'm sorry.
I hope I nailed it. If not let me know.

UPDATE: it seems that all this does is enable the switch in settings, it does NOT actually allow WiFi calling. I have been digging around in both the ATT system and U System, trying to see if I can find anything that points to what makes ATT WiFi calling function. I have come up pretty empty handed thus far, I can say that swapping the ATT CSC folder to the U firmware trips a shutdown/reboot loop. It boots and shows some verifying device dialog then shuts down, BUT in the short time I got before it shutdown the Wifi calling option in settings turned from a switch to a tick box. This is as far as I have gotten and think it will not be an easy task to get ATTs version of WiFi calling to work on the U firmware.
So came across this in system/csc/Others.xml about 3/4 of the way down, I can confirm it enables the option for us att users in the U firmware but can not confirm if it works or not. It is a start.

Odd it's working for me.
Edit updated OP with new url to the screenshot, hope it works for everybody now.
Must root though? Ugh
yes, just like you need to be rooted to get VoLTE and video calling re-enabled and band 17.
But at this point I can do little to prove this works and doesn't just enable the option in settings.
I'm trying to pick through the ATT rom to see if there is anything usefull.

Is the a + on your wifi bars?
Easiest way to check is turn on airplane mode, turn WiFi back on and send a message or make a call

this I have tried but it insists that I turn off airplane mode in order to make a call, not sure if that is something that the U firmware does on purpose or not.
Odd, on att fw I can make a call fine with airplane mode on and wifi on
Well, I have put myself into a some kind of shutdown loop a hand full of times today trying to swap files from the ATT rom. I think this is a bit beyond me, so unless someone more knowledgeable comes along to help out I think we are once again stuck with no Wifi calling on the U rom

Actually I just switched back to the ATT firmware and wifi calling still does not work with airplane mode on for me, it's odd that others say it works for them.

Hey Joe, not sure if you have root or not, but if you do can you get a catlogger and toggle wificalling on and off a few times to see if we can figure out the root of what controls ATTs wifi calling. It has to be built into some arbitrary apk somewhere.
Yeah, I am looking for it in the rom. I flashed a ported Note 7 Rom for the SM-G935F, flashed a note 7 csc for AT&T, i get errors when I enable wifi calling.
Settings-> Wi-Fi & Network -> Wi-Fi -> Saved Networks
Under [Subscrptions], there is <t-mobile.com> which will Auto Connect after you reboot your phone.
Unfortunately, it will re-install itself after you reboot your phone even you perform "Forget" or "Delete" it. ( yes, I have PM uninstall all T-mobile packages already )
Anyone know how to delete it or what it is?

This is not related to Wi-Fi in any way. Notice how it simply says "Saved networks", then below "t-mobile.com", it has "Wi-Fi Networks". This implies, as far as I'm aware, that it is not Wi-Fi, but rather your cellular data subscription from T-Mobile.

This could be it.
However, I also have T-mobile branded Samsung A32 5g but it does not re-install "t-mobile.com" under [Saved networks] menu after I delete it. That's why I like to know if I can prevent auto-install after I delete it.
FYI, I have already PM uninstalled all tmo packages.
I want to say many phones ago I had a similar issue with a package that happened on one phone and not another. What I remember of it was the AOKP guys went digging into it and they found that on the tmobile branded version of that phone in the original rom it was buried deep enough it couldn't be turned off. I am not sure if it was the same package but I do recall it had something to do with their wifi networks.

This makes sense. Glad you could clear this up, I was also curious.
I wouldn't swear it's cleared up lol. Like I said I could be wrong, I just remember it was a package that the AOKP guys went looking for in the stock rom for the phone (Motorola cliq or cliq2 maybe) and that it was something to do with the wifi but it was harmless just gave you access to their instore wifi stuff. I'll leave the clearing up to people much smarter than me......

Yeah I see what you mean. I'll still leave this as a possible theory until it's 100% confirmed.
Has anyone ran across an issue when changing from WIFI to mobile data that it doesn't switch? Usually when I leave my house and get into the car it doesn't switch to mobile data and I need to restart my phone for it to connect.
I'm seeing this issue, sort of. Not sure if this is the same that's happening to you though. After leaving home/wifi, the phone shows LTE or 5G but the data doesn't work (at least for some apps, I'm not sure if it's all or not).
Restarting does fix this, but for me swapping back and forth between APNs will also fix it for some reason.
Yeh happens on phone as well, as you said the only way to get reconnect is by restarting the phone, really annoying i hope sony will address this issue in the software update
I am on the latest image and I have this problem as well. I hate to be spending time with either Sony or T-Mobile support to find where the issue is. I'm not even sure if T-Mobile will care; they'll probably tell me I'm using an unsupported phone... sigh...
If this issue is not resolved and if the upcoming Galaxy phone happens to come with an sd-card slot (low chance), then I'm returning my Sony and switching to that. So far not impressed with screen brightness for sunny days outside either, and not thrilled about over sensitive or not sensitive enough, dual-personality finger print reader. So my reasons to return are starting mount up...
Oh one more observation. If I try to force connect to another network like ATT, wait for that to fail, then switch to auto-connect right after, then 5G icon comes and I get internet connectivity restored w/o having to restart. This seems to be the only workaround. Otherwise switching mobile data on/off, or switching in and out of airplane mode doesn't do anything.
And... I'm sure I can do this trick when I naturally lose service then come back into service where I only get voice, but no data. This is the thing that most pisses me off. I can anticipate switching in/out of wi-fi and apply the workaround or reboot. But I can't keep checking my phone to see if I constantly have 5G coverage, which is spotty at times to begin with T-Mobile.
Really frustrated with this here....
I had this problem, so did a search and found the same problem with older Sony phone. He said what fixed it was changing the apn settings. Wish I could find that web site again. But basically checked my default apn setting, and it was missing some info. I made a new apn with the correct T-Mobile settings and deleted the old one. And now I don't need a restart to get mobile data working. Never would have thought that would be the fix. Hope this helps

This did the trick!!! Thank you very much! I don't know if Sony was trying to be smart to include the "T-Mobile" APN in the phone, or T-Mobile pushed both "T-Mobile" and "T-Mobile US LTE" APNs over the air, but when I switched from T-Mobile to T-Mobile US LTE, the issue stopped exhibiting.

I have a very odd issue, if I connect to wifi, I can search the internet just fine but I cannot make phone calls or get text messages. Sometimes the texts will go through and other times it gives an error. I went through all of the network settings but cannot find the culprit, does any one know what I am missing???
Thanks

I'm having issues with calls being dropped and messages not being sent when on Wi-Fi. Changing wifi calling preference does nothing. Turning wifi calling off does nothing. I turn wifi off and calls and messages are fine. Doesn't happen all of the time though. So not sure what's going on.

Did you disable Mobile Data Always Active under Developer Options?
Though I'm not sure that would be the culprit as I have it disabled, but don't suffer the problems you're experiencing. So I guess this wasn't really helpful. I apologize.
Or maybe you should? And perhaps that will fix it? If it doesn't then I apologize again.

Though I'm not sure that would be the culprit as I have it disabled, but don't suffer the problems you're experiencing. So I guess this wasn't really helpful. I apologize.
Or maybe you should? And perhaps that will fix it? If it doesn't then I apologize again.

It is enabled but I will disable it and see if that helps any.

I disabled it and it seemed to work. I will let you know if it keeps working. Thanks a lot chief.

I'm having issues with calls being dropped and messages not being sent when on Wi-Fi. Changing wifi calling preference does nothing. Turning wifi calling off does nothing. I turn wifi off and calls and messages are fine. Doesn't happen all of the time though. So not sure what's going on.

That is pretty odd.
Been having connection issues since day 1. Changing different settings has worked for periods of time but nothing seems permanent. I have to cycle airplane mode to fix it every time to fix.
Was reading up on other sites and this is wide spread enough to find posts about it all over. Haven't seen anything to pinpoint why it happens or who is effected. Best I've found is that it may have something to do with when the phone switches to 5gUC and then off. But mine switches on and off of that relatively often and it doesn't do it every time. Though it does seem to do it if I'm on Wi-Fi and it's flipping to a good 5G signal to a not good one. So maybe it's when both radios are active.
Oh and I'm on TMobile, Swapped from Sprint sim.
Oh one more theory... I keep seeing messages from Sprint / T-Mobile about switching to the T-Mobile network. But I am currently using a T-Mobile SIN. These aren't generic messages. Messages they're geared directly to specific lines on my account, including . Now I don't know if somehow I could be on a T-Mobile SIM and still on the Sprint network, because that goes against a lot of stuff. Stuff I know regarding how the networks are being operated but I am a little out of the loop so I guess it could just be roaming back and forth or something And they had set something up at the tower so that you don't even see it do such. But anyway, if this weird theory were true, maybe that's the only people that it's affecting.
I'm sure that you set the default APN to Tmobile, right? My coworker was using a sprint sim and after getting another sim from Tmobile, her phone works fine. Of course, she doesn't have a pixel 6 so it could be something with the device. I love my P6 but there are some quirks. About to try this ArmorSuit skin screen protector later today as the hard ones do not register fingerprints.
Yep, unfortunately all apns are set correctly (or as far as I know). I have both the TMobile and TMobile mms apns that auto generated with the activation.
T-Mobile 5Guc Is actually crazy fast I get really good download speeds and actually mine upload too it's way different from 4G to me just look at my results

Sounds then like its using VOLTE and the inactive data is not properly selective.
Actually the issue came back so I just turn off wifi.
