imhaving same issue with a GT-i9000 Euro Galaxy S...

I also got that problem but I bought it on ebay with a cracked screen and the said that replacing it would be ok, but now i replaced and it's the same. I guess it's blacklisted!

I just found out that I can't even do emergency calls! Does anyone have any idea what could it be?

ok...I just confirmed, It's blacklisted.
Will it work outside the UK?

Serious reception problems

I'm experiencing reception problems with my phone. The first two weeks this was not a problem but end of last week and yesterday and today I'm having troubles with the phone. I have between 2-5 bars (average 3) when talking and I'm always calling from the exact same location and same room (working from home).
The problem is that after a few minutes I can't hear the other person. The person calling me can hear me without problems but I can't hear him. So I hang up, call back and the same happens after a few minutes.
I have tried with and without headset and also tried to soft reset it without result. Any ideas what to do? Anyone else experiencing the same problem?

No idea sorry! But I don't have that problem. Do u have a SIM card from another provider to check?

Yes, I might be able to try that or I'll try to get it replaced. Looks like no one else is experiencing the same.
I to am having some serious Reception issues but im with Optus in Australia. When on 3G at home.. cant make or take calls. So i have turned it to just GSM so i can get calls and make them.. Sometimes I did get calls and messages on 3G at home.. but today, it just wouldnt do anything..
There are updates from other counties which seem to have a radio update.

Hi,
Is there any way just to extract the Radio upgrade ?
I have my Diamond 2 in french, and want to keep it like that.
I wrote to the french HTC Support, and they just ask me to :
- Hard reset the phone : Done and useless
- Change the sim card : not done as the sim card I used is completely new
- Disable encryption : disabled and useless....
So the only solution will be a radio upgrade only.
Thanks

[Q] galaxy s certain people cant hear me

Just got the new phone and calling all day, there are 2 people that cant hear me at all, but I can hear them just fine. Once it happened in the middle of a call.
Anything that could be causing a conflict? Any fix?
Today, after a week of issuing the phone, one person called me four times in a row and we couldn't hear each other, then I called him back and we had normal conversation. Maybe it its network problem, or something else?

I dont think so as none of my other friends are having the issue and they all have the same carrier
every call I placed recently, after a few minutes it mutes my end and the other person cant hear me but I can hear them
Im running JM5/JM1/JM3
If the firmware is the case, is there a way to downgrade it? I'd rather wait for Froyo official in my area before messing with it
OK I upgraded everything, the pda,modem, and csc and still the same issue.
I know its the phone as I put my sim in my iphone and it works just fine
I keep getting people calling me and hearing just silence when I don't even hear the ring, it's about every second call like that! When my wife with simple nokia doesn't jane any problems.
I get sms from carrier about someone tried to call that's how I know how many calls I miss.

I thought it was some conflict with the sms contacts, but I cleared it and still this issue.
This is the second phone I had. If I cant figure out this weekend, I think ill return it and just go to HTC cause this is just ridiculous. Wiping out the firmware and everything and still this issue...
Maybe its THEM, Sister had same problem with her Iphone 4. Turns out it was her callers at fault as their phones didn't support full Duplex calling or was in a congested area where the towers turned on half duplex calling mode. Theres simply nothing to be done unless you go and pay for a new cell tower

cant be that
iphone 4 works just fine, pop the sim back to the galaxy s and it has the issue.
different towers (as I was out of town last night) and same issue and calling people in other cities..
and its only if I call them. If they call me, it's just fine
Buggy firmware or faulty phone.

cant be the firmware as it was the same with the old one.
faulty phone possible, but since I flashed it, how could I still get it repaired on warranty?

Flash it back to the original firmware, you may need to use Odin and search samfirmware.com for the original one.

Ill see, but I dont think they have my operator one.
I don't know if this is me or really I found the hardware bag but I noticed that all signal loses occur when my phone sits in my pocket face outward way. Also when I keep it in right palm at the bottom part of the device, I see signal drops by two three bars, look like there is antenna placement problem, or the device was designed for left handed user.

I dont know.
I think Ill return the phone tomorrow or send it for service. I had the provider check, and there are no cell tower issues, so it is my phone and it's only to one or 2 people I frequently call.
My provider firmware isnt on the website.
Is there a way to downgrade to one where Kies can automatically install a new one?
OK so I've been playing a game with the service center.
First attempt - sent it off for service with explanation. They put a new firmware on and thats it.
I tested it at the shop, and same issue.
Sent it back - attempt 2.
They ran some tests and didn't find anything wrong with it. Got it back yesterday and used it for about a hr before the same problems came back.
I sent it off again to a different service center. Hopefully they will find out whats wrong.
I still have the issue where the other party with either not hear me (every so often) or after a minute it will do it.
I don't know what to do. The service center claims theres no issue, but I do have the issue. I can't return it as here in Poland there is no buyer protection.
Do I have any recourse? Is there a way to brick it where they need to send me a new phone? is there any hope left for the phone besides a new paperweight?
Oh and it isn't because I don't know how to hold a phone. This happens when I'm using bluetooth and never touch the phone to answer the call

No service after dropped call

I have the Bell i9000M unlocked and used with Rogers SIM. Nothing else has been done to the phone besides installing apps (got the sd corruption on my first i9000m after using Odin and didn't want to go through that again).
Haven't had any problems for over two months but in the past week, I have dropped calls and could no longer make calls again until I restarted the phone. I have dropped calls before (there's always a couple of areas on my drive home where I drop calls using any phone) and have always recovered. But just this past week, I can no longer make or receive calls after a dropped call.
Sometimes the status bar shows the blue circle with a slash, but that changes to white bars. But even with bars I can't make or receive calls. When I check *#0011# it doesn't show that I'm attached to a network.
I can go to an area with strong signal and leave the phone for hours but still cannot make calls. The only solution for me is to restart the phone.
Anybody have this problem and know how to fix it? I've been searching for days but haven't seen a solution.
Thanks,
yvrRome

I had the exact same problem on my first 2 I9000M's. The only thing I ever found was to replace them. It was annoying as hell and made the phone impossible to use sending or receiving calls. the second one was JH2 with the 3BR fix. Texting was perfect as was the internet (3g).
I searched and searched as well. But I was talking with a bell guy about it and he said it may have to do with an IMEI issue they have a master ticket open 3449667. I know you are on rogers now, but hope that helps in some way.
Thanks, it is very frustrating and dangerous since I'm usually driving when this happens. Unfortunately my 60 days are up and I can't get a replacement. There must be a way to fix it since it was working before. Maybe a SIM issue? I'll keep searching and hoping and if nothing, then I'll do a reset before sending for repair.

Just to update, I got a new SIM card and I don't have the problem anymore.

Incoming calls going directly to voicemail

Hey guys,
a lot of my incoming calls (30-50%) are going to voicemail, althought I have no reception problems . I really hate this. Does anyone have simular issues? Does a new baseband-Version help?
Thanks a lot!
Android is 2.2.2
Baseband 1035.21_20110218
Kernel 2.6.32.9-dirty
Build-Nummer FRG83G
LGE-Version V10b
Each contact has the option to "Send calls direclty to voicemail", so maybe you can double-check that you did not have this option turned on for those contacts you missed.
It can be the same contact that goes to the box and a minute later it comes through... really strange.

Im having this same problem....strange
Cancel all diverts. Not sure what network provider you have?. Also, when was the last time you updated your sim card?. Tried the sim in another handset?.
Just might have had the very same problem but I have my voice mail turn off.
My Girlfriend told me that she called me and asked why didn't call back. I was sitting the entire time next to my LG O2X.Strange! I told her to call me again and she did. She passed me her phone and it was ringing indeed but my O2x wasn't doing anything. No reaktion at all!
I really hope that will not happen again.
Any solution to this problem yet?
This was my phone..

Needless to say I don't have it anymore.

phone signal problem ?

okay so on my galaxy note i have a full signal usually with the H icon, and even with this full signal sometimes my phone gets stuck sending a message or i cannot ring/recieve calls ? it just goes straight through to voicemail. i check my phone and yeah full signal with H. sometimes it works sometimes it doesnt :/
what could be the reasons for this ?
i am in the uk and running the german official jellybean what i got told works fine
but also if i remember correctly it did the same thing on a different rom.
any help is much appreciated and thanks you
i get the same problem.usually only if i have my phone docked.
im running the alliance rom
yeah its really strange i can have full signal but if someone tries to ring me it says my phone is turned off haha :/ i need my phone to be reliable.
Don't use mobile Internet everytime? Disable it then make calls and receive calls it should work
