Within the last week, I downloaded and installed the latest update for the Sprint S9+ (ARG7). Before getting the update, Calling Plus was working fine. The transition from wifi to data during a call worked great. After taking the update, CP is hit and miss. Sometimes it's enabled, sometimes it isn't. It usually only enables itself while on wifi. When on a call and leaving wifi, CP completely drops and the call drops. Is anyone else having this issue? If so, how did you fix it? I'm really hoping I won't have to reset my phone.
It all makes sense now.... I've been on the phone with Sprint and Samsung the least few days and nobody can figure out why. They wiped and reinstalled everything... Still nothing... Went today to Sprint and they gave me another sim card.... Still don't work.... So I just looked up online and see that Sprint is doing away with calling plus and finally getting voilp..... And the technician said that Sprint was discontinuing calling plus

I ended up resetting my phone and it fixed it at that time. I still randomly have Calling Plus crap out. No idea why it's happening still. Sprint is indeed doing away with Calling Plus in favor of VoLTE. People have been saying don't take the update for your phone for VoLTE of you're not in a soft launch market.

I bought a touch pro off of ebay. When I got it the phone was already unlocked. I went to get it activated last night. when I left I called my voicemail and checked my messages. Everything worked fine. But before I went to sleep I noticed I wasnt getting good signal. I did *228 and did both options. Didnt help.
Today at work I received two text messages, but i still could not connect to data (email) So after work I drove to alltel to see what was wrong. Come to find out I couldn't make or receive any calls. They told me the speaker was broken, after convincing them that it wasn't in fact the speaker, they put me on the phone with alltel tech. They concluded that my PRL was way out of date, amd they couldnt figure out why my phone wouldnt make any calls and that my phone was broke. I asked if I could just update the prl manually via EPST and they said yes but essentially it would not make a difference because it has to be done over the air. And since I could not make any calls Im basically S.O.L.
So basically when I left alltel I was under the impression I was infact S.O.L. and I bought a junk phone.
But a mile down the road, it worked again, granted, it took along time for calls to go through, but i could make a call to my voicemail, to *228, and I got the "test" txt message from the alltel rep that never went through..
now, 3 miles down the road, a little bit out of town, I tried to send the rep a txt message saying "IT WORKS!!" But it would not work, I am back to square one and cannot make any outgoing calls. Its almost like I am "out of coverage area" But any other time I have full bars at my home, which is only 6 miles out of town.
I manually updated my PRL to no avail. I cant do anything with this phone.
I think either its on its way out, and is working intermittently, or I need to go back to town where it was working earlier, and try to reprogram the phone again now that I have the new PRL in the phone, but I doubt this will work.
I am wondering if re-locking the phone will take care of the issue, but I am skeptical of that as well. I think the phone is screwed.
There's a link to a recently released alltel stock rom on this site, have you tried flashing the newer rom? It will update your PRI and PRL and radio. It may be worth a shot, seems you're up the creek anyway.....
do you have a link to the rom? I cant find it. I downloaded the one from HTC website and its from 2009-07-07. I flashed it last night.
the 7-7-09 one is the one he is talking about... once flashed it will install a PRL from 2 months ago what is a good PRL and update to the latest radio. if that doesnt fix you issue i think u got sold a bad phone man srry... find the guy who shipped it to you and burn down his house
depending on how the first person unlocked the phone could of caused some issues but none of the unlockers that i know of would cause this. so re locking it depending if it was on alltel before or not could fix it but could also make it so you cant flash anything to it.
I have been running custom roms on my droid since the root explot was first discovered, and I have a rooted xoom as well. Last night I rooted my thunderbolt and installed the debloated rom. I don't think it is even related to my problem, as it still worked fine after doing this, but I thought it was worth mentioning. I removed the sim card today, just to prove to my brother that it did indeed have a sim, and after reinsertation, my thunderbolt has not been able to connect to a data network. I do not live in a 4g area, and I have tried reseating the sim several times. I can make phone calls, wifi works fine, but I cannot get the 3g icon, and the browser won't load if not on wifi.. I'm starting to get scared. I can't think of anything else to try. Any suggestions?
EDIT 1: I have intermittent 1x data, but I never get 3g. And when I say intermittent, I mean I get it like right after a call for maybe a minute, then it goes away.

I had this same issue as well when I removed and reinserted my SIM card. When I booted back up I was stuck on 1xRTT. After making a call, they phone locked back on to LTE and everything was good after that. If it still isn't working I would recommend giving Verizon a call. They may be able to reactivate it. I did notice that the problem persisted even though I flashed a couple different roms on the device. I'm thinking it probably isn't a great idea to remove and insert the SIM if you don't have to.
Just an update,
I spent 2.5 hours at the effing verizon store today after spending an hour on the phone. Even after all that time, and giving me a new SIM, they STILL couldn't get my TB to connect to 3g. They said that it might magically start working at midnight for no particular reason, but had no clue what to do (I was actually at a corporate store btw) If it doesnt start working tonight, I am going back tomorrow. I have no idea what the hell is up. I am very tech savvy, and this is just insane. It must be a verizon problem in my area that it wont let the phone reactivate for the 3g/4g
Any ideas? I have a Plain Jane rooted TB that has been stuck in 1X despite (in order):
- rebooting
- pulling battery
- restoring a known good saved ROM from ROM Manager
- toggling enable on RevA
- installing jcase's rooted 1.70.605 OTA and MR2 radio
- factory reset
I am in midtown Manhattan. I should have stellar 3G/4G. Is there anything left to do but return the phone to VZ?

You should check your settings and see if your mobile network is on(obvious answer and I feel like you have probably done that). Make sure you dont have any apps that are turning it off i.e. juicedefender or any other apps that control your mobile network. It could be the ROM you are using so try and use your stock ROM and see if you get 3G/4G in that. Make sure your SIM card is in properly. I do not know if that will be an issue but it could help. Also along with ROMs make sure the ROM you are using is friendly with the radio you are using. I can not think of much else. Google it too and search this forum or others that might help too! Good luck.
The simplest and most obvious possibility that still has to be asked: Do you have the back cover on the phone?

yes, back cover is on
I had the same problem you did. I used Bamf 3.0 and flash the newest leak radio. My phone all of the sudden the next day dropped 3G. I went into the VZ store today and told them my sim card died and they gave me a new one. It working now, so I said unroot your phone like I did and get a new sim card. Make sure you update to their newest software before going into the store.
Seem like alot of people on the forum are saying they are not getting 3G/4G lately after the new radio that was out. I got my radio the day it was leak.

Thanks. But I had my problem before I flashed the new radio. I've been using the original plain jane root from back in March. It worked two nights ago, was stuck in 1X the next morning.
Since I now have the new OTA stock is there an easy way to get it out of root or should I just follow the sticky instructions and go all the way back to original ROM?
Instead of taking it in you could also just give them(verizon) a call. I know they can see if your phone is rooted from there and many verizon workers have theirs rooted and might be able to help you!
Yeah mine worked 2 days ago too but yesterday it died I was using bamf for a while now. I flashed the radio before that too, all of the sudden it just dropped. The guy at VZ store told me that never happened before that a sim card just die like that.

Thanks, but I spoke to VZ last night. The rep was nice and all but said the factory reset should fix the problem (it didn't) He said the next step would be to replace the phone. I might call again tonight to see if I can bump up the tech support ladder to someone more knowledgeable. Still hoping someone here could help me out.
Like I said, I had the original plain jane root that everyone did back in March when the phone came out. No reason for it to suddenly get stuck in 1X the other day.
Ive had that problem twice now. The first time my 4g antenna stopped working for whatever reason. I replaced the battery cover and it worked again for a few days. When it stopped again I called verizon and they sent me a new phone which is probably what youre gonna have to do.
So... VZ is next-day mailing me a new phone. I wanted to exchange it in the city but they said once you have the phone for more than 14 days exchanges have to be done by mail. Still, I'd love to know why the phone died.
I have a Bell atrix phone unlocked and currently on Rogers system. Once a day i get the call ended 0:00 error when attempting to make a call, or I can't receive a call. A reboot fixes the problem. Not sure if its a setting that i have in my phone, I have done a factory reset, but i still happens. Any solutions. Called motorola and i get the famous "we never heard of this problem, send your phone in for repair" line. HELP please its driving me nuts.
Same problem here but I have an AT&T Atrix on Straight Talk
i also have had this problem, at&t phone
have changed radios, roms, still have the problem.
i'm going to ask for a sim replacement, see if that works.

Let me know how that works for you. Getting a replacement sim from straight talk is a pain in the A$$!!!
For some reason it just started hanging up whenever i try to make a call with google voice or without...
I uninstalled and reinstalled google voice with the same issue...
Phone is working fine randomly... Still says 0:00 when I hang up after a long call. lol
Did the same thing to me on one certain phone number with Att cyanogenmod.
I remember deleting the area code off and dialing again for the fix.

Just very strange when I originally made the switch to my verizon phone to AT&T it was because Verizon had no service at my work and AT&T had excellent service...
it worked beautifully for a months, always had HSPA+ with the Atrix or "3.5G" with the E71
Now i always have Edge or nothing and it's dropping calls like crazy and doing this 0:00 thing...
Going to swap over to a new sim as well and see what happens.
Just got my new sim and ported over.
Still stuck on edge with 1-3 bars where before i was always 3g-hspa+
I'll check back in the 0:00 issue after i have made some calls
Hey guys, this did not happen at first, but today I have been experiencing some big issues with my phone.
I have been using the UVLK1 ICS based radio since I am an AT&T Galaxy Note user on the T-Mobile Network.
People have been calling me and my phone isn't ringing. I am getting Google Voice e-mails for voicemails they leave me but the phone never rang. I am at work where I always have gotten great service at all times. I rebooted the phone and it is still doing the same thing.
Any ideas?
Now I can't even make calls...the phone disconnects the call right after I tap the make call button...
Now I flashed the Blaze 4G radio, doing the same thing. Can't receive calls and immediately disconnecting when trying to place calls.
Data isn't working either..
Pulled the SIM card, put back in, problem solved. Weird!
It is doing it again! This morning it happened and I had to pull battery and SIM, reboot, it worked but shortly after stopped working...
issues with TMobile radios on galaxy note
I have experienced similar problems as well, but not to the extent to where my phone doesn't work at all. Since TMobile sells the Note now, I'm sure someone will port the full ROM or at least the radio.

i'm using the SGH-I727 with various T-Mobile radios and having the same issue, kinda. It will work for about 3-5 hours then stop. The signal meter still works, 2-3 bars in my area, even flucuates. However it will say (Searching) and nothing comes in or goes out. It does not work again until rebooted. Then the process repeats.
Any other t-mobile subscribers with you? The crazy weather might be a cause.
Can you put your sim in your back up phone?
