Stupid voice activation

Sooo my friend is having trouble with his device and I'm not shore where to send him. His words: "Ok....ill admit ive swore at my phone several times.....stupid s voice keeps coming on while I'm listening to music. I disabled it, then Google voice took over, and its even more annoying because it says unlock the device when its locked, so then i disabled anything Google voice related, it still does it, but I'm not sure how, because double pressing home doesn't work, and now Google+ keeps crashing And I've restarted it." Any ideas?

Calling doesn't always work

Hi, I've noticed recently that sometimes when I try to call a number, it does not call; instead the dialpad goes blank. This occurs especially trying to dial numbers from Google maps or from contacts. Does anyone know a solution to this?

I have an issue like that, but the dial pad doesn't go blank. the call just sits there in silence and never connects. I have to toggle Airplane mode to fix it.

I have a similar issue! WHen calling someone it says dialing for like 10 seconds. Sometimes i miss calls because when someone calls me it says the netwrk is busy or something like that,

Not sure why this is happening. The only "system" change I've made is installing themes.

Has anyone come across a fix for this?

Yes and unfortunately it is that the 3 or 4 of us have defective phones. We need new ones

Not sure that's the solution. The issue wasn't present since the day I bought the phone.

if i recall, i having this problem on galaxy s5 or note4 edge, cant remember.
when i make a call, i always turn off wifi, it fixed the problem for me.

Did you swap the SIM from your previous phone to this phone without activating the new one? I did this and had issues. I called AT&T, and they said my IMEI from my old phone was showing and not the new one. You might try giving them a call and make sure the IMEI showing on their side is that of your new phone.
I notice that this frequently occurs if I start a call while connected to Wifi and then walk/drive outside the Wifi range. Toggling Airplane mode always fixes it for me.

I have this exact issue and the airplane mode toggle fixes it. I would like to know what is going on , whether my device is defective or if there is a better fix.

Same issue (not connecting calls, not the screen blank issue)

Network connection failed??

I have a MOTO X 2014 pure and every time I wake it up I see a little message pop up in the middle of the the screen, reading "network connection failed". I still get all my data connectivity and alerts (as far as I know) ..I tested using speedtest and get great upload and download speeds,but this alert is bugging the heck out of me.
Anyone know what causes this or how to fix it?
I'm on AT&T LTE

Just bumping up to see if anyone can help.

Well...I may have found the cause.
Everything was fine and I switched over to an old Blackberry q10 for a few days by switching the sim card. Everything worked but after a while I went back to my MOTO X and the network failure alert started. I looked at my account on AT&T and saw that my data plan had gone from "smartphone data" to "BlackBerry data".
After leaving the sim in the MOTO X the alert occurred less and less. Now my account data is " smartphone data" again and the alerts seem to have stopped.
This must have just been caused by the BlackBerry forcing a different data type in the account and the MOTO X trying to resolve it.
..just for the general knowledge in case any one else runs into a similar problem.

It turns out that the network problem had returned. I still have "smartphone data" on my account ...So that wasn't the issue.
After digging around on my phone I found an app called iVMS4500 that I use to keep track of DVRs and cameras I've installed.... Well it appears that app is the cause. Whenever I start the app then swipe it closed..even if I log out ..I get the network error, but if I FORCE STOP the app, the network error disappears.
So it appears that the network issue was caused entirely by the app.
In case anyone else runs into this. Check any apps that may use a network connection when closed..perhaps ones that run background notifications.
I FORCE closed the app and the problem disappeared.

Not Receiving Phone Calls

Hi guys. Been having issues receiving calls lately. The phone doesn't ring and the caller says it goes straight to voicemail. I read through some support forums on Verizon's website and it looked like other people were having the same issue. Verizon suggested making sure Advanced Calling was on. However, it DOES work for me when Advanced Calling is OFF. Has anyone experienced this? It's pretty frustrating. I'm on Computerfreek's 1.5 build. Thanks in advance.

I too have been having this issue; it does not occur consistently but every few days I am told by people trying to contact me that their calls are going straight to voicemail. I do have Advanced Calling on but I noticed the last time it happened (last Friday afternoon 10-23 at my office where I always have service) that when I made a phone call, I could not access data / internet simultaneously also. After a reboot, everything was back to normal though; I too am on Computerfreek's 1.5B Pon-3 Base w. IOS Emoji build.

met the same issue in China, everyday received several SMS says somebody called you but not answered...

Are either of you using Google voice as your voicemail by any chance?

I use Google Voice strictly for voicemail (no calling), but I do not have the app installed on my phone. I just receive vm notifications via gmail.

I ask because after this issue I went back to using Verizon voicemail and everything is working as expected.

Yeah, I have used google voice since its inception on other phones but have been having issues with it since advanced calling was added to this phone; at first with kitkat, I would get calls and see if I missed calls, but if someone left me a voicemail, I would not receive it. On rooted lollipop roms, I have tried using GV with and without the app installed but it never seems to work perfectly. On a positive note, I haven't noticed the issue occurring since the last time I posted about it but I will most likely make the switch to vzw if it does.

Text notification issue with T-Mobile

I'm not getting any text notifications from T-Mobile phones. I'm using an unlocked, from Samsung, note 8 with a T-Mobile sim card. Verizon and AT&T done through just fine but not T-Mobile. I get the message but no text sound or preview pop up.

It seems that there is a general issue with notifications. I'm also using T-Mobile and a week ago I was not getting any notifications from facebook (the badge counter showed it but no sound/vibration/preview popup). It just started working again after some days :\

This happened to me a few days ago. Easy fix for me, went to app notification settings & found notifications disabled for the Messages app. I'm not sure how it got turned off, I know for a fact I did not turn it off.

I’m slow...
Are you all talking about texting/SMS or application notifications?
If the former, im on T-Mobile and Ive been on a couple of group texts the last couple days with people from T-Mobile att, vzw. No delays or issues, and there majority of the udsers have been iPhone contributors.
I don’t use crackbook (facebook) so cant speak on that, but overall I’ve not noticed *NOT* getting notifications from apps that i give permission to alert me.

I'm using the stock messages app and I've checked if the it had notifications turned off, it wad on. I know it's not an iPhone issue as my wife has a Samsung phone and my mother has an LG. Its only an issue worth text notifications from T-Mobile users.

I just installed a third party sms app and it's working like it should. I went back to the stock sms app and still nothing. Again, it's only T-Mobile contacts that aren't showing notifications. It makes no sense.
Sent from my SM-N950U1 using XDA Premium HD app

That is strange. I wonder if it has something to do with tmobile users that are using the advanced messaging system or the share typing indications feature. By default advanced messaging is on, I think the only way to turn it off is to turn off volte or something like that.
Not the same setup as you but I have an international unbranded N8 using a tmobile SIM & texts from tmobile users work fine for me.

I read something similar about the N8 but couldn't find the link.
