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.
Thank you for taking time to read this.
On Feb 16th 2013 my AT&T Note stopped receiving SMS messages. I could send but not receive. MMS worked just fine sending and receiving. I am running the following (all stock, no mods done to the phone at all, using default messaging app)
OS version 4.0.4
Base band Version I171UCLF6
Kernel Version 3.0.8
Build Number IMM76D.UCLF6
I contacted AT&T Help(less) desk about the issue. After several troubleshooting steps nothing was resolved. A second level ticket was opened. Two days later my phone started buzzing like crazy for a while as I received all the texts that had been waiting (104 one after another). I had no issues after that until two days ago.When the same exact thing started happening.
Contacted AT&T again to try to get them to resolve this issue once more. This time the agent wanted me to do a factory reset. I told her that is not the issue and directed her to the earlier problem. She told me that this is a different issue and that she would do nothing more unless I reset my phone to factory.
Now today I got 68 messages all at once. But the problem still exists. I sent a test message to my wife and her response sent but was never received.
This sounds like an ATT server issue and not your phone. Are you using the stock messaging app?
Agreed, the problem is on their side. These network issues clear up in a day or two.
Hi All,
My Z2 upgraded to lollipop yesterday (UK, 3 network), and since then I have been receiving SMS's multiple times, roughly 20 minutes apart. At first I thought it was the other ends fault, but it is happening on all texts I receive.
Anyone else having this issue?
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
I'm pretty new to both rooting and this website, so I apologize in advance for any newbie mistakes I'm gonna make.
Background:
I have a VS-996 which frankensteined and unlocked by following this post . After doing that I flashed pie and then flashed lineage os from here . That rom wasn't very stable and kept crashing, so I tried others. I wound up going with Havoc OS. I believe it was in 3.4 when I first flashed it. I've kept up with the updates up to 3.7.
The Problems:
Havoc OS works fine for me, very stable, except for some reason phone calls and messages(both sms and MMS) are spotty at best. Sometimes texts won't send at all, or they'll act like they sent but the text won't be recieved. Sometimes my phone will say I can make emergency calls only. Group messages and sending pictures don't seem to work at all, at any time. These issues seem most prevalent immediately after booting my phone up. Data works perfectly except sometimes when the phone doesn't like to register that the SIM is inserted for a little bit after booting up.
What I've tried:
I've tried reinstalling the rom.
I've tried installing different Android 10 roms.
I've tried going through the process again starting at the the Frankenstein method and going from there.
I've tried messing with the apn
If I flash back to a stock pie ROM everything goes back to working perfectly, and I'm using my sim in my old V20 while I try to sort this out, so I know the SIM is not to blame.
I've been unable to find anybody else with this particular problem, though that could just be because the problems cover so many different aspects that I'm not sure exactly how to search for answers.
Any help is appreciated, thanks.

Are you Verizon customer? You say you have VS996.
There's an LOS ROM bug for Verizon SIM card users where upon rebooting the phone you have to make a phone call first to then receive texts. This phone call "registers" the SIM card or whatever. Many people call their voicemail number to satisfy this requirement.
This bug affects all LOS-based ROMs.
Yes I am a verizon customer. I had noticed that making a phone call seemed to help things along when messages wouldn't send. I guess I managed to let my phone die or turn it off enough to hide the fact that it fixed me. Giving it a test just now it seems to be working correctly. I don't know if I'll be happy or mad if the solution turns out to be this simple.

Was noted extensively on LOS-16 ROMs, but not discussed as much with LOS-17 (Android 10) ROMs. But earlier this month someone in the Havoc 3.7 (LOS-17 based) thread did bring it up...

Would anyone happen to know a fix for the having to make a call on verizon to receive incoming calls/text messages-
It's the main thing preventing me from running any android 10 rom. Have an unlocked (True) US998

I don't know of a fix, but, I always called my voice mail to get it to work. I haven't been on a custom room for a little while. I assume that still works, though.

However, the larger problem is in six months you will not be able to use LOS-based custom ROMs with V30 on Verizon.
* As of December 31, 2020 Verizon is dropping 3G CDMA to repurpose bandwidth for 5G.
After that date, to make any phone calls on Verizon you will need VoLTE. No LOS-based custom ROMs have VoLTE. You will need stock Verizon firmware. It can be rooted stock firmware; you can use Magisk modules to add features -- but needs to be Verizon firmware for VoLTE.
* T-mobile users are in the same predicament.
In January 2021, T-mobile will be dropping 3G HSPA for same reasons. T-mobile users will need VoLTE, which only comes with V30 stock firmware. However, T-mobile is less stingy. They also allow US998 firmware to have VoLTE and Wi-Fi calling with T-mobile SIM. Whereas Verizon requires Verizon stock firmware, and it needs to have been activated on a phone with Verizon IMEI at some point.
* AT&T will also eventually drop 3G HSPA -- but not until February 2022 (18 months from now).
So, for U.S. V30 owners who wish to run custom ROMs a little longer, you should check out AT&T Prepaid. It's a lot cheaper than "regular" AT&T, but is only for people who own their phones.
18 months is a long time. Anything can happen in 18 months!
AT&T only gives VoLTE to AT&T IMEI phones, as well as iPhones and some other phones I would never own. I've never used an AT&T branded phone on AT&T. I'm an AT&T customer with three native US998 for myself, my wife, my mother -- so I'll cross that bridge when I come to it in February 2022. Will probably give my mother an AT&T V35. Maybe my wife, too. Also, LG may get their act together and produce a good phone fro the LG V70 or LG V80.
Any Verizon, T-mobile (and Sprint), and AT&T MVNOs (Straight Talk, Ting, etc.) will also be affected by these decisions.
I have a more extensive discussion of this issue here:
All U.S. V30/V3O+/V30S will need stock firmware, not LOS-based custom ROMs. When?
