[Q] My Galaxy S auto-rejects all incoming calls - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi there folks. I got a Bell Samsung Galaxy i9000M about a month ago or so. Initially, I was very disappointed that Android 2.2 wasn't available. After some digging through these forums, I discovered Doc's Froyo ROM thread and read that some people on Bell had used this successfully. I followed the instructions from his thread (am currently uisng Doc's Froyo v7.6.2 JPO, and my phone is rooted as well). Ever since I changed firmware to Doc's v7.6.2 Froyo versus the original Bell UGJH2 (i believe that's what it was called) Android 2.1, my phone auto rejects all incoming calls.
What happens is that any time someone calls my phone by calling my phone #, my phone rings once, then the call is rejected (the phone I call from says it got rejected), and on my Galaxy S, I lose network signal completely (3G/phone signal) for a few seconds when this happens.
Is this a known issue with the ROM I am using.. do I have some sort of option turned on that I shouldn't? I need some help here. Is this something my phone carrier (Bell) is doing cause I hacked the phone?
To clarify, I am perfectly able to make outgoing calls to phone numbers, and I am able to browse internet with 3G/HSPA just fine using Bell's network. Before I did the upgrade to this Froyo ROM, I was not experiencing this issue. I hope someone here can point me in the right direction, I really need to get this fixed because right now, no one can call me.

Really, no replies? There's no one else that has had this issue? I want to flash my phone to the new-er Froyo JPK3 that's supposed to be for Bell.. anyone have a clue whether that should fix it? What about just doing a factory reset?

i have the same problem, different carrier though, german o2
i think it might be cuz of a wrong CSC
i reflash now and report back

My initial guess was that my ROM is not suited for my phone/carrier.. but since I was able to make outgoing calls, use 3G and send/receive texts, I dismissed that idea. Especially since there were other people using Doc's v7.6.2 on Bell with supposedly success results.
So what I did was I went into Clockwork Recovery Mode, and did a factory reset. Now my phone works fine. Beats me what the problem was. Must've been some app I installed I guess.

i had the same problem. i did what you did. factory reset. then used titanium backup to restore all my apps and system settings. thank God for titanium backup lol.

I happens to me too from the 1st time i flash my phone to froyo.. u need to reinstall the correct csc. After a clean flash insert your sim card then dial *#272*IMEI No.# then choose the right csc of your phone. It will make a factory reset after the installation of new csc.

Captivate Unusual Problem. Please HELP :(

Dear users,
So 2 months ago I returned to Europe from USA. I bought an AT&T Captivate over there and since it could not be used over here, I unlocked it. But after unlocking the phone I noticed an very frustrating problem :
When someone calls me there are absolutely no problems no mater how many times they call.
When I call someone the first time everything is also ok.
But when I try to call someone after I already called once, there is no sound. I can't hear absolutely nothing and neither can the person that is beeing called. Not a sound, not even the "beep...beep" sound (sorry, i don't know how it's called in English) when you are making a phone call.
So basicly I have to restart my phone after every time I call someone to be able to make a call and actualy speak to them, and then restart again.
I hope I described clearly what the problem is. Is there some way I can fix this because it is extreamly frustrating ?
P.S. i'm using Froyo OS.
The Froyo build is Beta - so it could be your problem. Also, the Captivate is still an AT&T phone, so even though it is unlocked, it may not like the network you are using.
You could try the following:
1. Different SIM - different provider
2. Roll back to 2.1

[Q] Don't recieve sms from one number

My SGS stopped recieving sms msgs from my girlfriend. When she switched her SIM card to another phone, it still didn't work, but when I put my SIM to another phone it worked again well, until I put it back to SGS. Than only one SMS from her came and that was all. Than it stopped recieving smses from her again. Do you have any idea what can it cause? Or any idea what to do about?
Thx for answers
I have SGS branded for Orange. Original fw, just updated in Kies, but it's still 2.1
Probable that you have blocked her SMS number on your SGS.

I had similar problem on JG1 firmware.
The thing is, that eventually one sms started to block the others, either from one operator and sometimes even at mine operator.
Messages came eventually after few days, after a few times that this happened to me, I started bugging call center and they've deleted the first message in the line and all the others came at once.
This got fixed with firmware upgrade though.
So, update your fw, if you don't want to do it yourself manually or it's not available through Kies, I suggest Samsung service, they probably have some newer fw available.
Thanks, I will try it. There should be upgrade to 2.2 in Kies soon. At least I hope so

[Q] Outgoing call ring once then drop-SOLVED

Ok, I need some feedback here. Backstory. I flashed about 6 or 7 times today while working on Firefly and modem/kernel combinations. I had to problems with some of the combos, but eventually went back to Cog 3.
Now, at some point during my flashing I tried to call my wife. When I selected her contact and dialed, the phone would ring one time then disconnect. I tried a couple times and figured I needed a One-click to stock. So after loading stock I tried again. I get the same problem with a stock rom. To test things out, I tried calling other numbers. I can dial any other number but my wife's. She can call me just fine. So I tried a few experiments, flashed Firefly, Cog, Phoenix, nothing works.
**Disclaimer** My wife is not a techy. She swears she didn't block me, and I'm sure she doesn't know how, so if she did it must have been an accident. She is using the HTC HD2 with and Android ROM.
The only odd thing I can find on my phone is that when I use the secret code to check phone info, there is no CSC code, the field is blank. So, flashed stock again, still no CSC, flashed a few others, still nothing.
I'm downloading the odin version of stock from Samfirmware.com because it used to have individual pda, csc, and modem files. I plan I flashing the CSC manually, of course I'm in a hotel and the download is taking about an hour and a half.
Has anyone experienced anything at all like this? If so, any suggestions? Also, is there an option in android to block calls like that, not send to voicemail, just ring once then disconnect?
Thanks
Solved- I was on the auto reject list. She has no clue how i got on it, sure. Anyway, Settings, Call Settings, All Calls, Auto Reject. For those that aren't familiar with it.
I do not know what to say about your issues.
To get your csc back flash docs rom from the kitchen. You can select csc jh7 which will return your product code. Do not know if that will in any way fix your issue though
Thanks for the reply. I've found that most ROMs include the CSC info, but for some reason my phone isn't taking it. That's why I'm grabbing the odin files.
I did find one thing. I went into Settings, Call Settings, All Calls, and Show My Number. I selected Hide. Then I called my wife's number and it went through. I'm guessing now I am blocked somehow by number.
Haha, I realize how this sounds too, wow, should I worry?

Unable to receive any phone calls XXJVK

I have a Samsung Galaxy S, I was using 2.2.1 XXJPY and am now using 2.3.3 XXJVK. In both firmware versions I have experienced after a random interval of time my phone no longer accepts phone calls, I may have experienced this before these firmwares, but I am uncertain of this. When this occurs I reboot the phone and receive notification of phone calls / messages from hours ago implying that my phone has been "off" to the outside world for some time and that a reboot solves this.
The signal reception bars at this point are 2 or more, but I cannot receive any phone calls, additionally in one of these instances I could not make any phone calls, I believe it may have been the case that I could not make a phone call in all cases but I only tested once.
Anyone have any idea how I can resolve this issue?
Are you using the correct CSC for your network .
I would try a factory reset .

I have the same problem, I tried differents roms, but it is still there...
Can it be the bootimage?
Happens to me sometime. I noticed it after i move from JS8 to JVP. signal at 2 bars and noone can call me and no other communication works that using GSM (weird thing is that 3G net is working )
I do hard reset and clean cache before and after upgrade using ODIN. so its not about settings. Maybe Radio FW?

I'd change the modem.

Yes, you can use Froyo-modems on Gingerbread too.

Galaxy S not making or receiving calls or txt’s using XXJVT/XXJVS Rom HELP!

Hi all, I have been using the Stock Extra from the here for a number of weeks now with no issues. Until yesterday when my galaxy s stopped making or receiving calls or text messages, I get an error message saying text not sent & when I try to dial out it goes straight to call ended. I have tried a restore which didn’t help and I have even went back to XXJVS Rom 2.3.5 but still no calls or texts ! I rang Virgin mobile yesterday and they did all the usual checks and they said it must be a setting on the phone causing the problem as they cant see anything being blocked or barred. When I use my card in another phone it works fine ! My wife’s sim card wont work in my phone either so it has to be the phone ! Does anyone have any ideas what could be causing this problem? I am Desperate now I have only had the phone 3 months!

Did you try a reflash with Odin? Never seen this problem before.
Hi Paulforde, Yeah tried re-flashing with Odin but no change
Cheers
Try a different modem firmware...
I had several issues with several different ROMs but in most cases anything to do with calls, data, wifi, GPS, or BT were solved by flashing a different modem... I didn't notice which country or carrier you're using but I'm in Canada using Rogers and the best modem I've found for signal strength, and keeping all of the other radio related functions working has been UGKC1 This is dependant on where you are and who your carrier is though.
You can find most of the Froyo and Gingerbread modems here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=876391
Hope this helps,
Jamie
I have this exact problem with a Galaxy S I just got back from a RMA - the antenna was dodgy or something and it would get poor signal everywhere. Now signal is fine but it won't make texts/calls, again not the SIM.
Does your mobile internet work? Mine does which is weird..
Have you also checked your APN settings??
