I got this phone new last year in March and I've had this issue for the about the past six months where my phone is missing calls, texts come late and my GPS doesn't really work.
People will call me and it will just keep ringing and eventually go to my voicemail and I don't even get a notification about missed calls, but if I call them while my phone is acting up the call goes through.
Text messages can just simply arrive late, it can be from 10 to 30 minutes apparently.
GPS was the first thing I noticed wasn't working, It seems occasionally it can work but I've only seen it happen once. My phone is still able to tell where I am for weather and the thing where google asks "Are you at this place?" but using GPS for navigation doesn't work, It doesn't update my location while driving, it still shows my location as where I started when I opened the GPS. I've tried turning location off and on and turning flight mode on and off, that did temporarily fix it once but it hasn't worked since. I've even tried factory resetting my phone which didn't really do anything.

Hello my x10 mini is experiencing a problem. I updated to the 2.1 firmware right when it came out and everything seemed to be ok for a few weeks. Now I have traveled to Florida and am experiencing something incredibly annoying. When someone calls me it starts to play my ringtone, stops after about 0.5 seconds and shows that I have a missed call.
Then I guess it proceeds to voicemail because people have been leaving me messages. When I updated nothing was wrong but now it seems that something happened, any tips or clue into what is going on?
Thanks
I've seen the same thing happen occasionally, though I'd always just put it down to there not being a strong enough signal for the phone to receive the call - If you're travelling, it's possible you're just not getting as good cell reception than you do back at home (or whatever network you're roaming on to isn't doing a good job at redirecting calls to your phone)
I was updating my HTC one google play edition and got a error message (android bot died). I managed to restart my phone and now my dialer and messenger are not working. It takes a long time to launch the dialer and making a call also takes a long time (10-20s). When it is finally dialing, I hear no dial tone or ringing. When I hang up, it gets stuck on the Hanging up screen for a long time, up to a minute sometimes. When I received a call and answer, I can't hear anything.
The messenger is also wrecked. Launching the messenger just closes it almost instantly. I tried a factory reset and the problem persist. I can't even make a phone call. I search through the net and found some similar problems back in Dec 2014 but I have no idea how to fix this one. There are other weird things after the update; sometimes I will get utterly no signal from T-mobile in places I know I have LTE. Sometimes restarting or switching the mobile on/off will get me back on the LTE.
I have not root the phone or did any modifications.
So after installing TWRP and flashing a ROM on my phone back in December, I constantly have a notification on my phone from Phone Services telling me I have one new voicemail when my inbox is empty. What's annoying is that it randomly 'refreshes' making the notification noise, so I am forced to keep it on vibrate otherwise I have to listen to that notification going off all day long. I have lived with it for the past 3 months, but have recently realized when I do get voicemails, it never updates the number it always just says one voicemail. It's really frustrating too b/c I live in a rural area where I sometimes don't have reception and if I get a call it never shows up and if they leave a voicemail I'm not notified unless I actually check it.
I have tried clearing data and cache as well as force stopping in the settings and it will automatically come back within a few minutes. I have set the Phone Services notifications to 'Don't show notifications at all', but it completely ignores it. I have tried switching to Google Voice from Sprint Voicemail and it still appears. I tried switching back to Sprint Voicemail and it's still there. I have flashed new builds of the ROM multiple times and it still shows up, usually about an hour or two after flashing. The only thing I haven't done at this point is use the LGFlashTool to completely vert back to factory which I'm avoiding because of the time/effort and the lingering feeling it still won't fix it.
Before going thru that, I was wondering if I could potentially freeze Phone Services with Ice Box and migrate to use Google Voice for voicemail. Does anyone know if this is ok or will it brick my phone?
Any input is appreciate!
UPDATE: On Wednesday I had a random reboot while using my phone and after booting back up I no longer saw the notificiation. It's been several days since then, booth rebooting the phone and using voicemail and still have not got the notification back. Only thing I have noticed is that it no longer gives a notification at all if I get a voicemail, but since I get a text alert I'm not too concerned.
Unfortunately, if somebody else encounters this same issue it's not much help on why it occurred or how to fix it....
Hey all, been a long time since I've been down here, but I got a Verizon S9+ last week. Bone stock with latest update. I've had wifi calling issues right from the start. My house has terrible service, so with my old S4 I was almost always on wifi calling at home.
My issues:
It seems totally random. Sometimes it automatically switches to wifi calling no problem, other times it simply won't switch, even though I can't get out a text message or a call. Usually a reboot fixes the problem, but I don't need to be rebooting all day when I'm at home, and I miss calls and texts all the time. In testing, it's switching fine sometimes, and I can run upstairs and into the basement while on a call, and it will automatically switch back and forth. Other times, if it has even one bar of service, it will not switch, even though I can't make calls or send texts.
I have tried network reset, and factory data reset, no joy. Wifi calling is on, and I set "prefer wifi while roaming". If I am in airplane mode, even when connected to wifi, it will not make a call or send a text.
Another odd issue is with a group text. If I send a text to multiple people at once, I get an "invalid address" error.
It seems a lot of people on the internet are asking about issues with wifi calling with the S9's, should I just dump this thing and downgrade to an S8?
Has anyone run into this issue of calls (sometimes, not every call) going straight to voicemail?
I have had Do Not Disturb mode turned off, the phone was on vibrate alert.
Network connection showed all bars, so full (or at least, good) connectivity.
I've noticed this for about a couple of weeks now. Before as well as after rooting.
My first thoughts are around some software issue with the latest firmware/ROM.
Any suggestions on how to debug/fix this issue? SMS Texts seem to get through just fine, always. Pictures sent via messaging sometimes do not get through.
