[Q] Unable to make calls. How to solve?

Hi,
I have a strange problem. I am unable to make calls from my P990. If i try to make calls with UMTS active my phone does nothing. It is unable to call or get called from anybody. SMS do NOT work most of the time.
In GSM mode i can send and receive SMS messages and receive calls. But i can not make a call. It rings but when the called person answers the call my phone just ends it.
I think this problem can not be ROM based, because i switched from multiple CM10 nightlys to the leaked ICS by tonyp and harsh a few days ago and the problem is still there. While i changed the rom i did every wipe i could find, cache, davlic cache, internal sd and factory reset and fixed permissions as well.
Before switching to the leaked ICS rom i tried different (at least five) basebands to overcome the in call audio bug (loud strange noise on the called persons side) which worked for a few days, but then started to develop this problem. With the leaked ICS rom i tried both the P990_V28E_00_CP.fls and P990_V28G_00_CP.fls from tonyp's download site.
Can anyone think of a way to solve this really annoying problem?
If you need more informaion, like log files, build numbers, etc. please let me know what exactly and i will try to provide them to you.
Thank you for your help.

I tried this today, same problem here.
Something i forgot to mention is that when i try to call somebody and it does not connect i have to force quit the connection to the mobile network to end the call attempt from the phone. So i have to either switch in to airplane mode, deactivate the mobile network or switch from gsm to umts or the other way around.
If i do not do this the phone will try to place the call as long as possible with no result.
Do you think i should try and go to stock froyo and see if the problem persists?

u can try to nvflash the stock rom.it'll be clean then.
i-ve had the similar problem with leak ics rom.
my sim was over 10 years old and after changing the card problem was solved.
my telecom gaved me newer one with the same number.

I flashed the stock (2.3.4) rom (kdz version) with AIO-P990-ToolKit_v1.1-fixed which uses the official LG flash tool after making sure to have the gingerbread partition layout.
So now i have an old system V20Q_00.kdz with Baseband version 1035.21_20110725 but i am still unable to make any calls.
I will try to match baseband and ril next, but if this does not work i have no idea what else to try.
Anyone else?
Thanks.

OK, didn't work either.
Next try is the rom and the baseband from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1504280.
ROM: Gueste2X "GoodBye" v2.0R
Baseband: v20l, 1035.21_20110725
Sms work without any problems, but the main problem remains. Calls, last about 3 seconds. Regardless wether the called person answers the call or not.
Calls to me are working perfect. Checked my APN settings and they are find to.
Is there any logfile i should provide to help track this problem down?
Any hints, suggestions ?
Thank you.

Well now it becomes really strange.
I tried a different sim card a few days ago. Same problem. Unable to call anybody. Today i tried it with yet another sim card. Calls worked perfect.
The only difference between the sim cards is the following. My original sim card is from bob (virtual provider from A1) and the first sim which did not work is from A1. So technically they are from the same provider. The one which worked is from a different provider (telering).
What adds to my confusion is the fact, that my sim card works perfectly in another P990 without any problem.
So somehow the combination of my P990 and sim cards from A1 and its virtual provider bob do not work. They send me a new sim card during the next week. If it works i'm happy and can finally make calls again.
If not i will change provider. :crying:

I did have this problem before.
All things are good except my original SIMS.
And solved by resetting the IMEI.

Wow. This worked. Thank you so much.
With smartflash i activated the option to Erase CAL data and reset my IMEI back to my original one.
Now all my call issues are gone. I hope it stays this way.
Thanks again.

[Q] Can't connect to mobile network

Hello,
I've got a Galaxy Note, which a mate gave to me, because he has the new Note 2 now.
He said that he has some network problems (he has two times vodafone.cz), but didn't say anything in detail. So I thought the problem would be solved with flashing another rom, like CM 9.1. He already had the stock 4.0.4 and I read that I have to flash back to GB before flashing to CM 9.1.
At first I made a backup of the efs folder with kTool. After that I flashed the LC1 version of GB (3 parts, open Europe) but with this flashing process, I lost my IMEI ! So I wanted to restore the efs folder with kTool again, but it didn't work for me, I still had no IMEI.
I thought that the structure of the efs folder could have changed from 3.6 to 4.0.4 and that this would be the reason why I can't restore the efs folder. Therefore I flashed back to a Samsung stock rom of Android 4.0.4 (N7000XXLRG_N7000DBTLRG_DBT).
And then the surprise: I had my IMEI back, without restoring the efs folder!
This just was the background. Now to my problem: I still can't connect to the mobile network. In the notification bar is written "emergency calls only" (I don't know if it is translated on the right way, because I'm from germany). If I go to the network settings and search for mobile networks, I find all the networks I reach in my area, o2-de as well, which is my favourite network. But if I want to register to the network, it takes a while and then it says: Registration failed. And after that, I also can't make emergency calls, there is written "No service"
All in all my question is: Why am I able to find networks, but can't register to my one? I also tested it with other SIM-cards from other providers, but it still does not work..
I hope anyone of you has a solution for my issue.
greetings
Senfy
Edit: My IMEI begins with 359, so it should not be a developer IMEI

May be it has network lock. Have you tried apps like galaxy s unlock from the play store.

I tested it now, but everytime I want to unlock my phone, I loose my IMEI and I have to restore the efs folder..
But if I open Galaxsim Unlock, it says my device isn't locked.. so this seems to be not the solution..

Now I flashed to CM 9.1 with the hope to solve this problem.. CM 9.1 works, but I still can not register to my network... has anyone another idea how to solve this problem ??

Are you check an eyes in code or test menu ?
Go in dialer and tape
*#0011#
Then use menu and back in menu to come on general and check in different menu(debug)

I'm sorry I don't understand you. If I dial this code nothing happens. I also searched for this code (google) but without any result.
maybe you could post a link with an exact description how to do what you mean..
But thanks for your effort.

Now I wanted to flash another modem.. but everytime I want to flash it, I lose my IMEI !
The only way to get my IMEI back is to flash back to N7000XXLRG_N7000DBTLRG_DBT ...
I don't know what to do next.. I would be glad if someone could help me..
Edit: What I forgot to tell you: The reception of emergency calls goes up and down over the time.. maybe someone of you can conclude anything out of this information..

Doesn't anyone have an idea how to solve this problem?

how are you flashing the modem? tried mobile odin?

I flashed the whole GB (3 parts) with PC Odin and the actuall modem with mobile Odin but with no success..

Where is da solution 2 no network after update

Can´t use simcard: `emergency only`

Hello,
I have a Samsung Galaxy Ace S5830 for 3 years now. I flashed different roms and did root my phone in all these years. But... now i received a new sim card which works well in other phones but NOT in my ace. So that must be a problem with my ace.. I just flashed back to the stock rom (XEN - Netherlands S5830XENKS1) via ODIN but the problem is still there, i can't use my sim-card: "Emergency only".
I already wiped data and cleared cache, hard reset... nothing works. What could i try to have my phone back working with sim card so i can call, sms and use my dataplan. My phone have no simlock i checked and the IMEI is also the right. The one shown by #06# is the same as printed behind my battery. I also received a new sim card from my provider, but this one also has the same problem.
I hope you guys can help me out! :good::good::good:
UPDATE 1: I tried differend sim cards in the phone. I always used to have T-Mobile as provider. All other simcards are not working, theyre showing up for a few seconds and after that it says: Emergency calls only. When i put in a T-Mobile sim card the provider keeps displayed, so it looks like my phone only works with a t-mobile card. But it's not sim locked, because i also used differend sim cards before..
UPDATE 2: Now my simyo simcard also connects and i can sms, call and internet. But after a few seconds/minutes again the message: Emergency calls only
WHAT COULD THIS PROBLEM BE??!!??! Strange.............. I really hope someone can help me out this

I think your device has a problem to make contact with sims cards, so your device have a trouble accessing read and use sim cards... You can send your device to the support service, to check or try to fix it...Have your warranty still in effect?

Hello, thanks for your reply! No, my warranty is not active anymore. My phone is 3 years old. Today i went to another city and could call and sms the whole day. No internet. When i came home, i received again the message: emergency only. How strange.. I also could'nt find a good rom or firmware to flash back my phone to the full original software and firmware... Can someone help me on that? I need the newest firmware for the samsung galaxy ace s5830, netherlands version. Or maybe a custom rom which is the most used and stable version. I would like to exclude software reasons, so it might be a hardware problem. But i think it's a software fault cause of the different roms i tried on the phone.

It's very strange.. here it is Netherland's fws, try flashing your device if you want, but I've never heard that strange problem xD
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/1/?model=GT-S5830&pcode=XEN#firmware
Always when you'll change your custom rom do the 3 wipes to leave your device as clean as possible

Thanks for your fast reply! I did this firmware already yesterday and also wiped dat and cache + recovery... The problem keops showing up I will try this same firmware again and let you know if there are changes or not.

You can also flash whatever fw you want from EUROPE, because your device is unlocked in order to check your sim's trouble

Again flashed the original firmware to my Ace. Wiped data and cleared cache. Everything works..... Except... the simcard. Can't call, can't sms and can't make an internet connection. So, still the same problem. The sim works well in another phone, and another simcard in the Ace gives also "Emergency call only". So it HAS to be something with my phone. Someone any idea's i can try / check now i'm very sure it's a phone problem with original new flashed firmware? I hope it's not an hardware defect......... how can i check?
UPDATE: The only simcard which works well is a T-Mobile prepaid simcard. All other simcards sometimes shows up, but most of the time not. The more strange fact is today: I went to another city and was able to call and sms the whole day. But no internet. When i came home, i received again the message: emergency only. This is so strange and makes me very sad. The phone is simlockfree, WHAT COULD IT BE So strange............

Tomorrow i had internet connection, could call and sms. My provider was shown on the screen and nothing wrong. But unfortunately just for a few minutes... No stable connection.

Someone any idea? :crying:

I too faced this problem once.....What I did is that I just formatted the system , wiped data , cache , sd ext and dalvik cache and then restored a backup of my earlier ROM in which the Sim was working ! And it was fixed....

Thanks for your reply! I did your trick but unfortunately... It did'nt help. Very interesting thing is, while i'm traveling around there is no problem, but as soon as i stop driving and walk around, the problems are back. Someone any idea on this strange problem? :crying:

cant access sim
until now this is problem...
why they cant fix this important setting
better to back to stock rom.
is does all are working
yeah CM's are good but still
many bugs and error
like this one.
not STK, sim contact save
and show in contact app
i hope they fix this one asap

You dont have any choice other than visiting the service centre. Yes they may charge you a good amount but seems none of the methods are working.
Also try contacting your service provider maybe thay know the exact reason.

[Q] many problems now no network

I have a p925g rogers canada. It had a problem while updating and was bricked, no lg logo, no vibrate, nothing.
I managed to revive it a month later using Smartflashtool and lgp925_ap.bin and lgp925_CP.fls and that got me the logo back but the phone would reboot in less than one second of logo appearing.
So I then used LG mobile support tool and did a recovery, it recognized the imei in download mode and now the phone is up and running on 4.0.4. with baseband omap4430/xmm6260 and build number is ICS and software version is p925g30c
This phone is unlocked. I put in a koodo sim card and no luck. I get "No service"
Under phone identity i get the imei, the imei sv, they are all there but my phone number is "unknown" and I can never connect to the mobile network.
I've read many threads on here, about 12 hours now, and I'm seeing "flash baseband" etc. I dont even know how to do that with an LG. I've done many sammy's and used odin and cwm/twrp so I do have some experience with the process.
I'd appreciate any help with this. Please don't point me to a tread that just says "flash a new baseband" I don't know how lol.
sorry in advance.

Couldn't have done it without XDA
PS I hate cellphones.
Which is why I love them.

Hmm sometimes rebooting a few times after an update helps things work better. Well, good it works.

still wont do messaging, and drops the network alot, also getting "Reorganizing internal processes" when I try to call but it goes thru after a few tries. I may try a custom rom if I can ever get into recovery mode (it wont let me)
correction, mms is working sometimes just like calls. Factory reset a few times. no difference.
edit - no data whatsoever. All apn setting correct, all settings rechecked. network unavailable.

no IMEI & no SIGNAL (network)
Could someone help me?
I flashed my LG THRILL 4G (AT&T) with official stock P925 V30B rom (with SMARTFLASH) but lost the IMEI and no NETWORK. :crying:

[Q] S3 mini i8190n no calls or text but mobile data working?!

Hiya!
Hate to be a pest, i did use the search button, but to no avail!
I got a used i8190n that works perfectly fine in all aspects except for registering for a mobile network! and that is for calls and sms services only, as the mobile data, 2g and 3g both work well!
there are similar cases posted on the forum, but none that replicate my case exactly: i did try different roms, different sim cards, mobile data works but no calls or sms! total mistery!
any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks a bunch, cheers!

Found one...
BUMP!
Tried a few ROMs from different regions, none of them show any signs of improvement!
Funny enough, all of them display 'Not connected to network' message when trying to place a call, all the way until i started flashing different modems, and all of them started showing the dialling screen for a split second, and then display the 'call ended' screen, but that only happens with the XXALL3 modem!
any help would be greatly appreciated from here, any better modems out there?
Thanks!

Is your phone by chance sim carrier locked? Flashing the proper baseband and possibly modem should at least fix it on firmware/software level. Regarding the last mentioned; whats your region?

hi
the phone is carrier unlocked, as per the service menu, and according to the imei it's in the the UK region, i tried flashing Vodafone, EE, O2 UK roms and stock generic, even an asian one, just in case, no success!
upon reading some more, i looked into the efs folder (and made a copy of it), it's missing the nv_dat etc files, any idea if i can just get an efs folder off another phone and copy it in, or how would i go around all those files missing? i tried the 'NV rebuild' didn't help either!
thanks a million!

Its not advised to (fully) replace the efs partition (folder/files) with one from another device. The efs partition contains your IMEI, among other vital data, which is unique. Since you have a backup (make sure its a proper one or better few), you might try to replace the efs partition with one from another device (I8190N) to see if thats the cause of your problem (restoring backup if not). However, you have to change the IMEI manually after replacing the efs partition with the one thats initially assigned to the device.

great stuff, thanks!
btw, when i said i backed-up the efs folder, that's a 13kb efs folder, which is no good as far as i know
googling for an efs folder for i8190N brings me here first, and than here
and none of them really work for me, i tried the modemfs file, no luck.
any idea where i can find a good i8190N efs folder and, if the swap works, how can than edit my IMEI into it?
thanks!

And again...
dunno what am i doing wrong, got a i9100p Galaxy S2 off ebay again, and again, as soon as i plug my o2 sim card in it, same story! plenty of 3g but no voice/text service! went on and got the S2 totally stock and got a new sim card from o2, no luck! the mystery persists, any ideas at all would be greatly appreciated!!

did you try that new sim card at the O2 store?

yep, tried a EE card in it, no result. the new o2 sim didn't work either, so it's gotta be the phone!

goddammit!
I cant believe there is no solution to this problem. I can't believe the risks of rooting and customizing a phone may be so great... it *IS* possible to definitely brick a device after all...
So i suppose I am yet another guy who lost their phone playing with these #¤%"#¤% ROMs on XDA.
I'd like to know how your story ended.
