I've had this problem with my phone for a few months now and I've determined its not specific to any certain ROM. Currently I'm running Manup's eclair ROM, but I've had this happen on every rom.
The problem is that my phone will ring, signaling someone is calling, but will not show who is calling for a good 3 or 4 rings, then when I try to answer it (using the hard keys or the answer button on the screen) it does nothing. Then it goes back to home and says I missed the call.
After this happens I am unable to make any calls after, and the phone seems to reset it's signal, or sometimes the whole phone will reboot. When i say reset it's signal I mean that the phone will lose service then find it again, as if I were to change the data connection speed (2g or 3g) in the settings pane. Then for a good 5 mins I am unable to make or receive calls, dialing a number and pushing call does absolutely nothing. Then suddenly it will all start working again.
Its very annoying and usually happens when the phone is sitting idle, but I've had it happen when I've been using the phone, like typing a text message. When it's ringing I will sometimes get force close message saying that the phone.apk process is not responding, which makes me believe that it's just a problem of the phone app not getting enough resources, from the cpu or ram, to run properly and causing it to time out.
Anyone have any ideas on how to fix this?

Hi All,
I've got a Diamond which is running Duttys V4 ROM with Radio v1.09.25.23.
Everytime i lock the phone (holding the hard {END} key), leave the phone for a length of time (say 1-2 hours - a shorter time will not produce this issue) and unlock the phone (bottom left {unlock} - middle right {confirm}) i am then unable to make outgoing calls. The phone still has signal and will recieve incoming calls / sms but upon trying to make an outgoing call or send a sms i recieve the message {your phone has no signal...yadda yadda yadda}.
Now, if i disable the Phone from comms manager and re-enable it, it will start to work and likewise, if i recieve an incoming call when the device is not working, it will work fine after the incoming call has ended. It just seems as if the phone isn't aware it's got a signal until it is made aware of this fact by an action, say incoming call.
Incoming SMS's although they come through, don't make the phone return to a working state.
Obviously there is a easy work around for this which is - Don't lock the bloody device - i can leave it for days with the screen off but no MS Lock enabled and it will still work fine.
Would be nice to get it sorted if anyone has got any ideas or seen anything like this. Could this be as simple as a regkey??? I suppose my other worry is that it my be indicative of a larger hardware problem...etc
Oh i've also tried upgrading the Radio to v1.11.25.01 which i'm now using with slightly increased battery life and higher than normal signal strength but no joy with it resolving this issue.
Tried a hard-reset, numerous soft-resets and all to no avail...
Sorry for a lengthy problem post and thanks in advance guys,

are u using s2u2?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Nope, not using s2u2, although i have tried this to get around the problem and it doesn't seem to re-create the issue when S2U2 is used.
Just to re-iterate, it only happens when the device is locked with the inbuilt windows lock and left for a while (1hr ish)
Any clues anyone?? Does WM6.1 do anything strange with the radio when the device enters lock mode - ie. does is put the radio into "sleep mode" which only looks for incoming signals and then not come out of it properly?
Is anyone else having an issue like this at all??
Any help would be much appreciated!
Cheers guys
Hi All,
I have this problem with my SGS that a call gets disconnected too frequently. I have found it difficult to have a conversation more than 20 mins without a call drop once or maybe sometimes even 4 times. I think i have traced the reason for this after many months of noticing... Every time the call gets disconnected, i see that "E" symbol that pops up on top. You know... the one for data transmission? I think every time some data is transferred on to the phone during a call the call gets disconnected. Is there a solution to this?
I have had my Galaxy S for almost 2 years now and haven't had any problems with it until yesterday. The phone ran out of battery and turned off. When i came to charge it and reboot lots of things had changed and it had gone all funny
All of the aps have been reordered and moved although they seem to have kept their data.
I also noticed that all of my sms messages and contacts had been deleted except a few that were saved to my sim. I also lost all of the details from my calender,.
I have also discovered that whilst i can make calls, send and recieve SMS messages i am unable to recieve any calls with most of them being diverted to answer phone or being met with an engaged tone even when i'm not using the phone. I have checked all the call settings/network settings etc.... But having looked in the settings, about phone, status view, it is no longer picking up the phone number, and the mobile network state is – disconnected, not sure if that has something to do with it.
Does anyone have any idea how to fix it?! Would a factory reset fix it?
I should also add that when you press the power button, there is now only one option, to turn the phone off, whereas before there were options for flight mode, sound etc., also, the main middle button no longer takes you out of aps without closing them, which is also a real pain!
Thanks in advance.
Hey there.
I have a stock Samsung Galaxy S4 Active on the AT&T network. Recently, I've been plagued by a number of troubles.
Bit of background:
For a while, I had the most bizarre issue: the screen thought I was touching it when I wasn't, near the bottom-middle of the screen, and would attempt to open/click on anything in that area. Often turning the screen on and off would help, for a little while. I was reaching my wits' end, because that would obviously be very frustrating to someone who uses their phone frequently throughout the day.
I thought maybe it had been new software I had installed, so I did a factory reset. Problem remained. I factory reset with NO backups. Problem remained. I updated to 4.4.2 via OTA. Problem remained...
And then mysteriously went away on its own.
I've been working in tech for a decade now, mainly in PC and server architecture, so I know better than to look a gift horse in the mouth - but I also know better than to think a problem that "mysteriously" goes away is gone for good. So the first part of my question: does anyone know what could have possibly been causing this?
I'm not super phone-savvy. I've rooted and flashed a few phones in the past couple years, but I'm by no means developer-level.
---------------------
Which brings me to my next problem... around the time that this issue went away, another one cropped up. Randomly, my phone will stop sending/receiving texts/calls, and the data connection will not function. This will continue until I turn on airplane mode and turn it off--at that point I receive all my missed texts, and it works again... sometimes for 5 minutes, sometimes for nearly 2 days. It's really frustrating. I've tried factory resets, I've tried restoring default APNs... but I'm at my wit's end with this. Can anyone help?
Thanks!
I should add that, with my last issue, it still shows a data connection in the notification bar - but there is none, or at least, no activity on it. It doesn't simply act as if it's in airplane mode and go "wah no data network" as soon as I try using it--it just simply hangs for ~30 seconds, then times out. Messages don't get received, webpages don't load, calls don't get placed, etc.
Hello all,
i spent quite some time researching my issue and found out that there is a bunch o people with this problem. The downside is, none of the recomended fixes seem to work.
Description: I recently got a S4 active i9295 with stock rom. Everything clean, nothing custom on it(i belive). For a couple of hours it worked like a charm, then, when i want to call someone, the transition from contacts to dialing screen lags a bit and then it goes into dialing and thats about it. Nothing else happens from there on. I loose signal and it keeps showing that it dials (i let it like this for about 15 minutes and nothing happend). I cannot end the call, it remains stuck in "dialing" mode, i can use all the other functions though. After a restart it works again. Same goes for sending SMS. The icon spins and spins but never sends the SMS, only after a reboot. Also when someone calls me, they get a "no answer" signal and my phone just looks ok, like normal standby but when i want to call back, it freezes at dialing.
I tried 3-4 different stock 4.4.2 roms, hard reset, wipe/clear cache, safe mode... It works fine for 15-20 calls/2-3 hours and then it does it again. After that point it only gets worse and it happens more frequently.
Any ideas on what could cause this or how to permanently fix it? Unfortunately, returning the phone is not really an option.
Thanks to all, best regards.
No one?
