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.
I got my Optimus 2x Today, the one from Netherlands. And I have a big problem. I can't make calls. When I dial the number, it is calling and after 10-15 seconds it disconnets. Happens everytime, anywhere i call. I tried Hard Reset 2 times, but it haven't fixed that problem.
And also I can't send massages, they are just not send, and there appears that ! warning yellow triangle.
I switched my SIM card back to my old phone (I8910 Omnia HD) and everything works on it like a charm...
I don't know what to do now
You would need to add your providers account information to your phone. I'm far away from being a specialist in these things, so please wait for some one else to help you. But it's not a big deal to get your phone running properly.
Slap me if I'm wrong.
Kind off experiencing the same, although it is not constantly, but intermittent for me. however when phone calls start to fail they keep on failing, untill i pull the battery after which it works for awhile.
I am now having this with wifi aswell ....
Was i too ambitious removing those apps, following that other thread ? ill install a different launcher and see if that changes anything ....

I have been to the Orange shop yesterday in my city, they checked my sim and said that this is a fault of sim card. They gave me a new card and now everything works like a charm.
I've had the same problems and also some noise when coming near monitors (didnt had this with any previous phones) so I decided the cancel my contract renewal with this phone. Returned it to T-mobile and i'll just wait a few more months to see what will come! I just didn't want to take a risk to use the VIP service within the 7 days you can decide to agree on the contract or not. And also, having to use the VIP service while your phone is just 2 days old gives me a bad feeling about this phone (also reading other stories about bugs and stuff).

I have exactly the same problem with calls as you. An issue this huge is intolerable in a 500€ phone or, well, any phone. I think I'll have to ask for a new device or a refund. I'm really dissapointed, I really liked the phone otherwise.
Try another sim card in the O2X. If the phone still does it then it is faulty.

Already did, it happened with two different sim cards. The phone is clearly faulty.

I am having the same problem. Any solution for this except changing to 2g? Data is disconnected when I checked in the settings. It is constantly trying to reconnect.
When this happens, I can't receive/send sms or make calls. The only way is to restart the device.
This only happens at some locations (i.e. my workplace) but doesn't encounter this problem at home.
Is this a problem with the kernel, radio, or hardware?
I am on MCR r10 by the way.
Radio/baseband: 1035.21_20110315
Kernel: Tried all available kernels and still getting the same problem.
Hi I am using the ATT HTC VIVID from Nov 2011.
I bought this phone last Nov 11, and I stated noticing my phone was not receiving any calls if I stay at home(jersey city). If anyone calls to my number it will not connect at the same time it will not sent to voicemail also. It will say "call couldn't be completed".
After 2 months fight with ATT, they tried
1. they did a factory reset on my phone - it didn't help
2. changed the sim card - it didn't help
3. finally they replaced a another HTC vivid
even that didn't help
finally they said there was issue in near to my home and they fixed it.
now i a started receiving calls but now the new issue is, if I call to my number it will not connect first time it will go to voicemail, and second time if i try then it will ring. (First time also my phone is idle) This is happening randomly and ATT is not helping on this situation. As per them I am not able to replicate when they were testing on my phone.
Because of this issue I am missing calls which is making me really frustrated. After three week of research I found this is happening in not only near to my home its happening at my work place (NYC) and if I go around also its happening.
Can someone please give some advice to fix the issue that would be really great
Is there anyone else in or around your home with AT&T service? If so, do they experience the same problem as you? Can you receive calls everywhere else besides home and work? Do text messages get through? How about internet service? MMS?
Thanks for your response
The issue is not around my place
The issue is, if any one calls first time it will go to voice mail, if they call again it will connect to my phone. This behavior is happening randomly.
It is happening in my work place(NYC) and also if i go some where in new jersey also. I can't tell when its happening and how. In a day it may happen one or two time. I can't check constantly on a day when and where.
Sometime i feel I am not getting call, if i try from land line it may work or it may go to voice mail, after the second try then it will be fine for that day.
this issue look little weird. but because of that I am missing calls.
forgot to mention, that time my internet will work fine, how I am sure is one time i was browsing and trying to call my phone from land line it didn't connect. as usual second time if i try it did connected
Also the signal bar in my home and my work place its full
Hello all,
I've recently acquired an HTC One. I had an iPhone before it. Although there was nothing wrong with the iPhone it was getting pretty stale for me. I've wanted to try the HTC One since it was released.
Anyways on to my problem. I got the phone used. It was locked to my service provider, Rogers (in Canada). I did a factory reset. When the phone was up an running I noticed that whenever I got a call the number would not show up or stay in the call history. I tried to reset the phone again and that didn't work, I tried different settings and nothing. I can receive and make calls without issues.
I have search here and used Google without any luck. Has anyone experienced this before? Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm loving the phone but I sure hope I didn't buy one with software/hardware problems.
Ok everyone figured I'd come here to where the experts live. Haven't been here in awhile.
Recently my S8, wifes S8, and our sons S8+ all have the same issues.
The first issue is texts get stuck "sending". This happens with WiFi on or off, with wifi calling on or off, and I even tried changing off LTE to just 4G/3G/2G and even 2g in settings to see if that would help. I'm on the latest firmware from TMO ending in QEF, well we all are.
The other one is apps like FB and others aren't alerting but they will show the number of alerts even after they've been checked. I've reinstalled these apps and the problem persists, and then I can reboot my phone or wifes phone and all the alerts start working again for awhile and then die eventually.
The texting issue though persists and is random when it will hang and when it doesn't.
According to TMO rep at the store it's a bug in the firmware with bixpy that was pushed out, but I frankly don't buy it and figured I'd hit the guru's up here and see if you guys have any thoughts.
Thanks in advance guys and gals....
I too have had the random "texts get stuck sending" issue. I haven't had it in a while though (now that I've said that I'm sure I will).
I unfortunately don't have any suggestions.
I ended up using googles version of messages due to this. Only on stock text app do i have any problems anymore. I also noticed on the stock app that my phone would say "sending" when the other side would actually get it, but it was at random.
You don't have a cellspot repeater or router do you? Last time I had it, my device was hung and needed reboots. Just a thought.
Thanks for the feedback, yes I have a cell spot, but I also have the issue other areas of town too with no real specific place thatbit always happens.
I'm going to reverse back from the qef firmware and see if that resolves things. This has been so annoying, and it just started about two weeks ago.
Thanks again everyone.
I have had the same issue with sending texts too. I have been using the stock messenger app. I may just switch to textra.
Same issue here. A temporary fix, try turning on airplane mode and off. Works for me a times
Also happening to me on the XAA firmware (have unlocked NA variant) with the stock messaging and Google messages.
So I'll ask the question begging to be asked (at least by me): How does one disable this messaging app and use "stock messaging" app?
Thanks in advance....

Just get a app disabler for Samsung from play store like BK Disabler.
If I were you, just download Android Messages. It's simple and fast.
However, I do not recommend disabling stock messaging, unless you don't like getting EAS (Amber/Weather/Presidential Alert)
Having the exact same issues and it's driving me crazy because I really like this phone. I don't get notifications for any of my apps but when I open them I can see the new messages. A reset seems to fix the problem but it only lasts about an hour before it starts doing the same thing. I've tried using different messaging apps but the same thing. And the fact that I don't get notifications for other apps it can't just be a text messaging issue right?
Happened to me for almost 2 months but haven't had an issue in about a week. Called t mobile, they created a ticket and said they'll be working on it. Few days after speaking to them, problem went away.
This has been happening intermitantly for me as well. It's been bad the past three days. I'm currently in coversations with T-mo's engineering team and they seem to be coming up with a bunch of dead ends. It's not a location based thing as it's been happening over a 20 mile radius in the past few days for me. Other people on T-mo network that I'm freinds with or I work with aren't having any problems. I'm wondering if just a fresh SIM card could solve it?
I have data connection although it seems a little sluggish compared to when I originally got the phone. Similar to OP I've tried all the "G's" modes, with wifi calling on, with it off, with cellular network preffered with wifi calling on and off. With Textra, with stock messaging app. I've factory reset to no avail. I've pulled and re-inserted the SIM card to no avail. This is incredibly frustrating for a flagship phone on a network where I've had no previous issues.
UPDATE: T-Mobile sent me a new SIM card and that seems to have cleared up the issues. Not sure if it just hapened to coincide with T-Mo tower fixes or anything else like that in my area but I'm back to normal operation. Anybody else experiencing this I recommend you push customer service to send you a new sim.
my husband and i are having a strange issue where we can message pictures and video clips to other people that don't have the s8, or aren't on tmobile and they'll send and receive just fine, but when we try to send to each other, the first attempt to send fails, but the second attempt goes through?
