Problem making phone calls

Hi, I've owned my tytn II for a few months and in the last couple of weeks, the phone has been acting really odd. I have tried to make a call and it gives me the dreaded "beep beep beep" and ends the call every time i try. I've noticed this though; If i turn the phone off and back on, then as soon as it gets signal (like 3 minutes after load up??), i can make a call ... Then i cant make another after that ... Then if i send a text, as soon as i receive the "sms sent" notification, I can call again, if i try immediately.
It seemed like a software issue, so selected "clear storage" from the settings menu and still get the same problem. I've tried changing from my virgin sim to my vodafone sim and get the same problem. To make maters far worse, as well as not being able to dial out, nobody can dial in; it goes straight to voicemail. I am showing average to good reception when this happens.
One thing i have noticed since the problem started is that the "G" symbol at the top of the phone is now showing "3G", but i haven't changed area and don't recall it saying 3G before. I haven't changed any settings and haven't got any new software ... Its at factory standard, 100%.
Does anyone know what I should do as I'm getting ready to brick the phone just for the sake of it. I've had the Wizard for over 2 years and I never had 2 restore it once ... this phone is REALLY bugging me. I'm honestly thinking of keeping the wizard and selling this one on ebay for say £180 or something, just to get rid of it.
Also, I've noticed the battery is draining faster recently. The phone is about 5 months old.

Did u try to turn of the 3g reception?
If no, try to turn it of in settings/personal/phone/band and in network type select GSM(or in comm manager turn the 3G off).

Mikulec, you are a god ... I guess i'm just getting angry at the phone because I haven't even started playing with it yet and its just so much more tempermental than my old wizard. It was to the point that I am still using the wizard as my main phone and the newer tytn II just sits at home all day! As it appears so far though, it definitely has worked, so thank you.

happy to help u bro, the kaiser is a good toy, u just need to play with it.

This along with the faster battery drain is the first sign of a radio hardware failure. If in a few weeks you start losing network even with 3G off, or can feel your phone gets warm even on standby then you'll already know what to do... send it for repair.

When I send it in for repair, do I need to install the normal rom/etc? Before I installed the rom (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=416278), I had no issues whatsoever. Will they actually replace what they need to even if it is working under the stock rom?
Actually, I just checked with 3G off, and I'm still getting the same 3 beeps. Anyone know what's up?

My friend that has kaiser also and usually flash his phone once or twice a week and had it repaired alot and they have never said anything about his ROM
but then we live in Sweden and maybe we have other rules then you have

It's better to restore original ROM and SPL (there's a guide in the Wiki for that) before sending it back. Once you've done that you can check if it works again - obviously if it does with the original ROM then don't send it back.

[Q] Can't answer calls, problem appeared out of nowhere

Hey
My dad is using a Samsung Captivate which has been updated to the AT&T's gingerbread. The phone is rock stable and ran fantastically for almost 4 months, until yesterday. He has been complaining that about 7/10 incoming calls he was not "able" to answer. I tested it and found that when someone calls the phone, the incoming call screen that shows the caller's name/number/picture, accept and reject sliders, speaker options etc. does not show up and instead the phone just rings and there is no way to answer call. I restarted the phone and the problem went away, however I would like to know why this problem suddenly appeared, and are there any chances of it appearing in the future? My dad is definitely not a tech-know-how person and this captivate was a gift from me so I would really appreciate some insight on this problem.
PS: Also, could it be possible that another application with dialing capabilities could be causing this problem? We have Skype and Mobile VOIP installed, and have had it since the day he got it. Just as a precaution I cleared the defaults and made the phone+dialer the default for making calls. Been about 5 hours or so and the problem has not re-appeared, yet.

I had nearly the same issue, except mine got to the point where the speaker phone didn't work either. Music played fine, phone calls stopped working. I went through a lengthy process of accidently deleting everything I had on my phone, which lead me to buy a USB Jig, install the stock ROM and it worked perfectly. I would suggest trying this before you try and physical fixes on your phone.

[Q] SIM recently removed, verify identity

Out of nowhere when i rebooted my phone i got a messege on my phone saying "The SIM card was recently removed, sign into your account to verify identiy" I try loging in but it says its wrong. I cant do anything with the phone when its like this. I found a work around with a custom lockscreen if i turn on airplane mode as soon as it turns on. but its extremly annyoying not being able to use the home button!!! So if anyone has a fix please tell me D:. Im rooted and safestraped on a deoxed version of the stock rom (well i think it is) I just got the phone last night, i started having thease issues later this morning though.

Its a known issue with the RAZR and the Droid 4, the only solution is to hard reset the device.

If anyone is curious I actually found a temp fix for this!! What you do is you restart your phone, as soon as it turns on, quickly turn airplane mode on. Your phone works perfectly now...its just useless. SO TO FIX THAT. You must then go to wireless settings and turn on wifi. Our main goal is to remove your email from accounts, in my case, it was my verizon yahoo email. I think its whatever email shows up for you to verify. If you try removing it over wifi though it will have a server error.
So since you can at least go in the market now (or google play now or whatever lol) you should download an app called LockMenu (free version) that will replace your lockscreen and it has a slider to go directly to your home launcher, once that works fine you can turn airplane mode off. (Your home button and notification bar dont work right now btw) In any case now that your phones data is on again you can now just go to accounts and remove the cursed email.
Now just reboot, and you shouldn't have the error!

Hallelujah
I signed up for an account just to say Thank You to Artic.Light!! I was customizing my phone and while setting up my gmail account activity feed my phone froze up. Upon reboot I received the "SIM card removed" message and was completely f-ing devastated. My GF is 9 months preggers and was out and about in heavy rain so communication was critical. I was freaking out and scrambling for like a half hour looking online for someone who cracked the code. After finally finding and following Artic.Light's instructions my phone is back up and running fine and I could not be happier!! Mega Huge Thanx!!!!

FIX
I found a fix for this. Do what the guy said and put the phone in airplane mode. Reboot the phone and turn it back on. Airplane mode should still be on when the phone comes back on. Simply go to the dial pad. call someone, it will give you a message about airplane mode being turned off, just ignore it and complete the phone call. Stay connected in the phone call for about 2 minutes to allow the sim card to refresh. and thats it.

Nick, did your solution continue to work after fixing it and then powering off? Unfortunately, it did not for me. I'd been using the power off in airplane mode method, then after powering on, make a call. I typically just call me voice mail and hang up after a few seconds. Your suggestion gave me hope but after leaving the call open (with my work phone) for several minutes (and trying it a couple times, it reverted back to the same issue.
Does anyone know why they don't just fix the bug?

SIM Removed
You just need to mention the e-mail account password I tried and it works perfectly.

Can surf but not make or receive calls

Hello guys
Ran into a snafu yesterday, clicked home a N6 demo-ex from one of the internetstores here, it was cheap and I've always wanted one. Of course it came with a pre-unlocked bootloader and everything else you'd expect from a used Nexus, but I wasn't too bothered about that, I would have unlocked it myself anyways. Flashed MM on it as soon as the images were available. I played around with it for a few more hours, then late last night I decided I should move my simcard to the N6 and try Speedtest and a few other goodies. Speedtest went just fine, got the usual 64 Mbit over LTE, then .. I'll call my automated bank just to check the earpiece and speakers. "Dial .... call ended". Try again. "Dial... call ended". Put the simcard back into my Nexus 5, dialed the same number, worked perfectly. Back into the N6, same number, it dials, then just as it's supposed to start ringing, "call ended". Has anyone got any ideas as to what could be wrong here?
Done so far to find the error:
*Reboot *duh*
*Reflash MM
*Flashed 5.1.1, thinking it was a new modem and my simcard didnt like it. Sim is about 2 weeks old by the way.
*A couple of factory resets, just to be sure
This is the very last Nexus 6 these guys had on the shelves so I would really, really rather not have to return it but of course a phone that you can't use for phonecalls .. I already own a Nexus 7, don't need a miniversion of it. Bright ideas or even far fetched guesses appreciated!

Hey bud, I had a similar issue with my phone as well and the way to fix it is by rebooting exactly 6 times in a row....literally. Power on, power off power on power off etc........ Ive encountered that issue several times, it usually happens when i left my phone die and then reboot after full charge. I could only use data, no voice/text and sometimes it would be backwards, no data, voice text only

Can't reciever nor send texts and cant make phonecalls, phone goes black for a fewsec

Hi. Kinda sick of this shxt at the moment.
I can use internet, I can press *133# to see my current status of the prepaid card, I can recieve MMS.
However. I cannot make phonecall. If try to call someone the phone just go dark until i press the powerbutton and its back on home screen. If i press semihard on the screen I can see i calling but it insta-says "call ended".
I cant send nor recieve any text messages.
Everything else work great.
Ive been in the service menu and tested everything and it says everything is ok, but its clearly not.
I got it free from my friend after he dropped it in the floor so the back side is cracked but the front is ok, ive dissembled the front screen and everything seem fine. I googled the issue and it seems more people have the problem with phone going black after updating to 5.1.1, they say its something about the proximity meter thingy (but that worked in the service menu), so now im trying to get back to 4.4.4 but the nordic FTFs just keeps rebooting my phone at the bootloader, over and over and over and over.
What can I do? I love this phone but I cant afford 400 euro for a new one nor the 150+ euro to send it into repairs. Im using a xperia arc atm and the difference is insane so it would mean the world to me to get it to work, especially since im using my phone for internet aswell (living in the swedish forest you know).
Please, any advice is highly appreciated.
Thanks /Peter

Also ive tried to install like all of the stock roms that are listed and i keep getting "powered by android", the blue loading screen and then the phone reboots. Cant turn it off or anything, it just keeps going nomatter what rom i use, i have to use the pc companion to repair phone to get back to the same sh*t with not being able to call.
Regards
