So I installed the latest mm stock build and no longer can receive calls. I assumed it was the ROM so I changed to AICP. Still can't receive calls. 3 rings then goes to my voicemail... Ideas?
I also just flashed another boot strap no go still can't revive calls...
When I switch the network mode to 3g only I can receive calls when i set it to 4g or global im screwed!
Mod edit: Language
If anyone is reading this I finally managed to get my vs985 kdz'ed to stock. And I could receive calls. I woke up in the morning and I no longer could get any inbounds again. I'm tossing this G3 in the trash and getting a G4 from eBay. This thing ran its course I guess.

I recently flashed to FroydVillain 1.5.0 and the ROM_Radio_G3_Radio_HERO_63.18.55.06S_6.35.17.03 radio and I've been experiencing some strange things.
During a call (an important one so Murphy and his law were surely not going to leave well enough alone), the phone not only DROPPED the call, the phone actually rebooted.
I find that my phone will miss/not receive the signal from my carrier and I'll miss both calls and texts.
UPDATE: I just want to clarify on the missed calls. They will go straight to voicemail and then between 2 and 24 hours later I'll get a text saying I have "9 New Voicemail". This, as you can imagine, is problematic at best.
Is this a ROM Problem? (Okay the phone rebooting likely is. But the calls and Texts?) Is this a carrier thing?
Also, as an aside since I'm planning ahead: For those who have done this before, how do you go about getting rid of still functioning smartphones to upgrade to the latest and greatest? I kinda want to move on to an HTC Desire Z with Bell but I don't want to just pitch my Hero either.

Been a long time lurker, but now i am in need of some help.
Had the galaxy s2 for a couple of weeks now and most of the time it works great. but occasionaly it will not recieve calls or sms. i get no notifications of missed calls, voicemail messages etc. to the caller it just goes straight to voicemail. A few hours later i get all? the sms come in at once, sometimes a voicemail notification but no missed calls. when this happens i have a good signal and am able to call out.
Its definately not because i was using data services at the time and not lack of signal.
I have rooted the phone, but still with a stock rom (ke7 ?)
Anyone got any ideas ?
The handset ? The sim card ? or the network ?
All the best
have fun

i have the same issue as you ...
the only solution that i found is to set my phone is GSM MODE only but you will loose your 3g/h data and only use EDGE

Lo Rich. Miggy round?(private joke)
Was wondering, was the phone on charge when it missed the calls/texts?
it could be any number of things, really. if your sim card is not fairly new i would replace it just to be on the safe side. you might try hard resetting your phone (which will delete all your info so back it up first) and starting over.
do you have any apps that block data connections at various times? if so i would delete that app and use the phone for a few days without it to see if the issue goes away.
have you flashed a different radio? if so, try the one that matches your rom, or try the newest one you can find.
there are many possible causes, but if i were in your position i would hard reset it and not install any apps that might interfere with your connection to the network and i would make sure my sim card was fairly new. if the issue still persists you might try asking for an exchange if possible.
If upu have the phone on GSM only then incoming calls go directly to voicemail when data bursts are happening (which is often). So switch to 3g to fix.
If you're not on GSM then I have no idea, maybe no signal in that area...
Thanx
Ok theres possibly been a development with this.
But first a big thanx to all your suggestions, and my response to them.
Seems a bit pointless having such a device then crippling some of it just to get the basic phone part to work. although switching to gsm only may be a temporary solution.
Fault occurs either on charge or not.
Fault has occured whilst at home where all data connections are disabled and wi-fi exclusively used. I havent tried flashing a different radio yet, but it is still on the latest ?? ke7 ? firmware. Sim card was brand new a couple of weeks ago.
So gsm only wont help, but as above when at home i use wi-fi.
Now i spoke to my network, talk mobile a few days ago, they say it will take more than 5 days for their IT dept to contact me to try and sort this ! as i can still make calls they dont see it as a major fault ??? Looks like customer care is not important to them.
I have also spoke to the company i purchased from(wish i hadnt as customer DISatisfaction appears high on their list of prioritys)mobiles.co.uk. I was speaking to someone at their Fullfillment team yesterday about getting another handset sent out, but for some reason i couldnt finish arranging it yesterday. Then early yesterday eve one of their guys rang me back out of the blue to say he had been looking into my fault and had found something not quite right with the original connection they had set up. He was honest enough to admit it was a bit beyond his knowledge and was getting someone from the connections dept to help him. they are going to re-do my connection and for me to wait 24hrs for this to be sorted and hopefully it should be ok after that. All credit to Leeroy at mobiles.co.uk.
The only problem now is other than getting someone to ring me every 1/2hr, how do i know if its working or not ?
I guess the best i can do is leave it a while and see if i get any more complaints that people cant get hold of me.
Once again many thanx for all your suggestions, i will update this when i am confident it has or hasnt been fixed.
many thanx
have fun

this happens to me perhaps every other day
i get a txt saying so and so called but left no message
my reception is fine and my phone has been sitting in one place on 3 bars
i call the person and they said they tried to call and it went straight to voicemail
the txt arrives instantly so i am putting up with just calling people back as its not very frequent
plus i have 1200 mins so i need to use them!
I have the same problem and I believe mine has something to do with the way the towers handle the switch from 3g to edge. You said you get a text message showing a missed call, I think that would be usefull to me also until we can get this fixed. Are you using google voice to get your sms, if not what?
I have the exact same problem, and it's beginning to interfere with my work. The HSDPA signal here is very weak. So I switched it to GSM only, which resolved my signal problem, but I keep missing calls. All I get is a sms saying that I missed a call. Would my problems be solved if I had full HSDPA signal the entire time? You said that calls are missed when data bursts are happening on GSM only? I almost never receive a call the first time. Only after ~3 attempts would they get a hold of me.
Any help would be very much appreciated.
I flashed this device to verizon and it worked fine until i ran a program called wifi kill. Idk what the program did but it reverted all of my flash information back to sprint. So i had the flash redone again and now Im having issues.
I can make calls and send texts but i cannot receive the calls. The calling phone gets the ringing tone but the HTC does not ring at all. also I cannot receive texts. I text myself and the texts only come in when I make an outgoing call on the device or when i first torn on the device, the texts come in but after 10 seconds, no more texts enter the phone.
Can anyone help or have any clue to why this has happened?
And my data is working fine. 3G
Do you have the Verizon prl installed? Other than that it might be screwy bc you're not supposed to be on that network. Verizon doesnt recognize your number?
I'm sure you have heard it all before, but sprint can terminate your account for doing what you're doing.
i got it all sorted out. No i dont have an account with sprint. I specifically bought this phone to flash it. I bought it with a bad esn.

What did it end up being?
So I was rooted running beans build 22, woke up in the morning, shut off my alarm then my phone shut off and would not turn back on. After some messing around with battery, SIM, and sd pulls, finally got it to boot. After it booted I could not make calls or send txts, but i did receive a few. I tried for hours to figure out the issue and eventually got a new SIM from verizon....still nothing. I just used ODIN to go back to as stock as i know how to, and am now stock unrooted and cant make or receive calls or txts at all anymore. Im at the end of my ropes trying to figure out what is wrong with it. Does anyone have any thoughts?
Would flashing a new radio help? Would flashing a new modem help?

I'm thinking something has happened to your antennae. but the fact that you are receiving is weird. Odin back to stock and order a new phone.
I have already used odin to go back to stock, and nothing changed, I can still get 4g data but it looks like ONLY 4g. Nothing works call or text wise, just data. Im not really sure if sending the phone back for replacement is an option at this point.
UPDATE**
This thread probably needs to be updated as I managed to reverse what issues I had....I was in the hidden service menu and somewhere I found a setting to restore a backup NV. The phone rebooted and I now have 1x signal and can call/text and receive calls/texts. What I don't have is data of any kind, and under about phone it says network unknown.
Any ideas?
My stock, unrooted Verizon Galaxy Note 2 stopped making and receiving calls this past Monday. But only calls are effected. 4G and Text are fine. Went through the usual battery of Verizon troubleshooting steps with no luck. Did the soft reset, hard reset, replaced sim, switched between LTE/CDMA & Global networks, danced on my toes, and twirled like a ballerina. Verizon said it was their network and that it thought the device was asleep. Then they said it a faulty sim. Then poor reception. And....... And..... And...... Finally today they pointed me to the nearest store to buy a new phone. Anyone else ever just have the phone stop making calls? Calls worked Sunday night and did not work Monday morning. Very Perplexing. :silly:
