[Q] Full bars and missing calls/texts - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have been having big problems with calls/texts. Sitting at home I have full coverage with 3 UK network. My m8 for eg was outside my apartment last night and tried calling my phone 5 or 6 times trying to get through to me and also sent two texts but i received none of them. Then at around 11pm one text came through.
This has been going on for weeks. I rung 3 but i got their normal crap. Missed work calls today while in my car so its not just at home the problem is.
Going to try an O2 sim tomorrow in my phone and put the 3 sim in my Nexus 4 to see if it changes anything.
Any ideas?

Phone not working, but showing that i have a signal

My first full day using the phone. Hadnt had an issue until this evening. For some reason i can not make a call. Im in an area that only gets edge, but it shows i have three bars. When i try to make a call it never rings or says connected, it simply ended after about 7 seconds or so. I can however browse the internet or watch my slingbox on the phone so it seems my connection is good. I tried a hard reset, but issue remains. If i try to make a call it will go through maybe once out of every 20 attempts.
I saw a few similar threads, but nothing like this. Anyone have any thoughts?
apparently there is a huge outage in the NYC metro area with cingular. So, thankfully its not the phone. way to go cingular!
im having a similar problem on fido in Vancouver, tho i dont think its as bad as yours. intermittent phone use at best.
I am having the same problem as well. It just says dialing but no tone. I remove the battery and it works again. But a day later and then it starts to act up again.
I was advised to update my sim card since its 3 years old now.
I am with Fido in Montreal Quebec Canada.

drop calls not getting calls

ok i have a slueth rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=366284&highlight=slueth and have been running it since 6/08 and had no major problems. so in the last few days when i have tried to make a call it will just act like it is going to call and then it will say "call ending". when i reset the phone(shut off) it will make a call but after that it stops making calls, it will try to call and it seems like it is looking for service. it can have full signal and still nothing, i can't receive calls either.
oh wow this is exactly what has been happening to me! What service/region are you?
Does it happen with texts as well?
yes it does i dont get text, im from fl i just drove up to boston mass on sunday. i have att wireless.
I am from northern VA and here is my problem more in depth, hopefully we are having somethign similar so this thread can serve a purpose to us both:
Note: this started when I first flashed Hyperdragon3 (with m2d) and persisted with L26 Kaisertouch (flashed because I thought it was a problem with ROM compatibility.
From time to time, the tilt decides to, from what I've acquired, not make a proper connection to the network. Although it displays 2 bars or 4 bars whatever, it is unable to make calls, receive texts, or connect to 3g/edge. The calls turn out like so, I call, the phone says "dialing" for about 6-7 seconds and then makes the ubiquitous sound of a call ending the beeping noises.
Regarding texts, when this problem surfaces I can't send any texts "Your message cannot be sent" and cannot receive any either (usually receive them all at once a little later).
Soft-resets used to fix this problem but they don't anymore.
So far I have restored my tilt to factory rom/spl/radio and still the exact same problem is there...
This leads me to believe that it may be a hardware problem?
Any suggestions?
yeah it sounds like the same problem, i did try something that worked for the rest of the day. i took the battery out for about 20min and put it back in and it seem to have done the job. ill try tomorrow and see if it stays working. im quite sre this might not be the real answer but for now its a band-aid.
that doesn't seem to work consistently for me.
This is really bothering me, I don't know what to do.
any help?
I live in Fresno, CA and all the suuden my 1 year old tilt stopped working consistently and went from 3G to EDGE to nothing and I could not make or recieve calls etc and my batterys drained quickly. I doenloaded a 3G toggle to turn off 3G and just use EDGE (auto to GPRS). This worked but who wants to work on EDGE. Funny thing is that 3G worked in Sanger which is 15 MIles east of Fresno. SAnger just recently got upgraded to 3G.....
Long story short, I took my phone in and they exchanged it since I had 3 days left on my warranty. The new Tilt with Windows 6.1 is sweet with some new bells and whistles.

Texting problem

hi
I bought a second hand tytn ii which was unlocked. It had originally been on the 3 network. I have used an o2 sim and for the first few weeks it was fine. This last week i am constantly losing reception, but i can receive texts, but sometimes my outgoing texts fall straight into my outbox. They will send, eventually but not straight away.
I have also noticed im getting 3 symbols next to the reception bar, H,G AND 3G. These will alternate. Is it anything to do with it used to be on the 3 network?
Also, the battery is awful; on full charge i get 1 day if im lucky. Can someone please help me.
Thank you.

Problem with signal

Hey guys, i have a problem with my signal, sometimes it passes from full signal to 2g, even though I'm in a full 3g covered area, and i lose connection in skype every few minutes while I'm on a video call.
I didn't have the problems before, that started today, i tried to re flash the Rom, hasn't solved it, my only concern that yesterday i have tried to charge the phone with the pogo pins, but instead of putting the - on the - and the + on the +, i have put it the wrong way, and the phone had shutdown, and then nothing happened, just that stupid and annoying problem!!!
is it have something to do with that? how can i fix it???

I'm on O2 UK, this phone probably has the worst signal i've ever experienced. It'll regularly go from 4 bars to "x" (no signal) on and off all through the day, or it will say it has a full signal and my friends tell me they've been trying to call me all day & have sent me texts.
It's got to the point where I'm looking at selling the phone now, as it's fast becoming no use to me. It's not the network, I can sit next to a friend also on O2 UK with an iPhone and they can stream a youtube video, I can't even make an outgoing phone call (just goes BEEP BEEP BEEP and hangs up).
Shame, I love the features of the phone, but its useless if i cant receive phone calls or texts on it.
Its about 2 months old, never been rooted has all updates applied that have appeared (14.1.G.2.257 at the moment) and has had the awful signal problems since day one. If i knew it was going to be so bad I would have returned it, but left it too late (14 day return period)
Never happened at the moment.
Poor Signal
I am also having poor signal problems maybe someone could help with setting ideas??????????

The signal fluctuation is most likely related to the aluminum sides(a reason why T-Mobile went with plastic).

VoLTE/WiFi Calling Issues?

I picked up the Note 4 last Thursday. This is my first phone with WiFi Calling and VoLTE and so far the experience has been less than ideal. I've found that I get more dropped calls and the person on the other end can often not hear me when we first connect (and I need to call them back) when using WiFi calling or VoLTE.
Is it common to have more frequent call issues with these two features enabled, or could there be an issue with the handset?
I called TMo support last night for similar issues. I would try to clear the cache and data from the phone app. That's what they suggested for me and it's been working much better for me!
Sent from my Note 4 using the XDA app. Damn this thing's sweet!
Trust me, clearing the cache and data has nothing to do with it. It's a network issue. I've been having similar issues sporadically with WiFi calling ever since they switch to a different format of WiFi calling a few years back. Also couple that with the upgrades they're doing, at times service may be affected.

Yeah I didn't think it would. However, when my calls drop, I get kicked immediately back to the home screen. There was not a FC error or even a call drop tone (which I've NEVER heard on T-Mobile after a call drops). When I had a Note 3 with Verizon, my dialer would say 'No Signal' and it would at least tell me that the call was dropped. I'm not getting that here. After 2 weeks, I can't say I'm particularly impressed with the QoS of T-Mobile as I have several dropped calls daily -- sometimes 4 or 5 per day. It's getting rather old, honestly. If it wasn't for the dev phones, I would have ended up back at Verizon. I just had to start somewhere with the cache and data clear....
Well that's not quite what's happening to me. My calls either drop just like a normal dropped call (sound and all) or stay connected and just have audio issues.
Anyway, I was playing around with it a bit more and it seems to only occur on HD calls. My wife and my dad both have Nexus 5's, and I see the issues frequently with them. But VoLTE calls to non-T-Mobile customers seem to be fine.
Anyone else note 4 take 5 to 10 seconds to connect the call? Happened with my note 3 as well.

Not up to 10, but usually 3-5 seconds. This was true of my Nexus 5 as well though. It tends to be longer when it is not a VoLTE call, I imagine because it needs to drop from LTE to HSPA to connect.
