[Q] Can't receive calls and radio problems - Moto X Q&A

Hi, I have a 1st gen Moto X with sim card, updated to stock 4.4.4.
Since a few days ago I've noticed some problems: people call me but I don't receive any call (even if there is connectivity and other times it works), calls drop from one moment to another without any reason.
Any idea?

"Call ended" right after dialing

First of all, I want to say that I found people with the same issue using Android everywhere and with a lot of different phones, so it's probably an Android bug rather then Moto X itself, but I wanted to leave my report.
I came from an S3, which suffered from the same problem when using Cyanogenmod. When using official Samsung ROM everything worked as it should. Now, I'm getting the same issue on my brand new Moto X.
When I try to call someone, sometimes it just doesn't call, after I press the dial button, it just hangs (without ringing) and finished the call with a "Cal ended" message. It happens randomly, and sometimes I can't call anybody for like 2/3 hours.
The simcard has been changed from the S3 (micro) to the Moto X (nano), so it's probably not it. Also, with the Samsung ROM it didn't happen.
I can still receive calls and messages, and the signal strength is fine most of the time. I just can't call.
Today I faced this problem and then I tried calling from my girlfriend smartphone (samsung ace IIx) at the same time, which is from the same carrier, calling to the same number, and it just worked fine. Mine still didn't work though.
Here is a thread on people on xda facing the same problem, but with a different phone: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2351227
Don't know what to do.
i've had the call not go through as you've described, but have never had a phone not let me place "any call" afterwards. i always chalked it up to poor performance (limited RAM, too many processes, etc). My DROID3 would do it and often times when it finally did make a call, there was zero sound and I would have to reboot the phone.

Hmm, it doesn't seems like poor performance. I ended up every task and it still happened.
However, I noticed that when I check the "2G ONLY" option it comes back to work. Maybe it's something with the HSPA/HSPA+ connection.
it could be completely carrier dependent then. my experience has been with vzw.
Moto X "Call Ended"
I have experienced this same problem in Houston on the T-Mobile network after switching over to Android. My T-Mobile rep told me they have had towers vandalized for copper which has impacted service for them, I believe he said it was about 15 towers and 10K a pop to get things corrected. What gets me is I was on a Bold 9900 and while I had signal problems in the affected areas of town I didn't not experience the "call ended" issue. I can also call other T-Mobile phones from those same areas but not land lines so to me this seems like a possible network routing issue which I have seen before between specific carriers.
If the problem does continue I may have to switch carriers. T-Mobiles service was previously outstanding in Houston but recently had not been great after the 4G LTE upgrades. I support multiple hospitals and need service to work correctly and will work with the T-Mobile Engineers to see if I can make headway on that front. I noticed another MotoX user reporting he only had the issue when flying in to Houston for work and that everything worked for him outside of Houston. His solution was to operate in 2G mode which for me is really not an option. I have to handle a lot of tasks over the network while on calls.
Anyways I would appreciate it if others could post if they are experiencing these issues and give as many details as possible so we can try to isolate the root cause of this problem and if found to be a carrier issue we can escalate with them. Thanks

Call Ended Issue Resolved
Hi All,
I see this Call Ended Issue in many brands. So I assume the error is a combination of the Network along with the SimSlot.
I tried various combinations for my Moto-E mobile.
Before i post the solution i found, Let me provide a brief about the problem.
I use Vodafone network on sim1 slot and Uninor network on Sim2 slot. I started facing the call ended issue on my sim 1 vodafone network.
I inter changed the sim's and found the network working absolutely fine. This makes me to understand that the sim1 slot with the vodafone carrier has some network issue where that IMEI code has some problem.
i tried to place the vodafone sim again on the sim 1 slot and found the problem persists. So i came to that conclusion.
Hope this might help you and provide a instantaneous and temporary resolution.
Thanks,
Praveen.
Call Ended problem still going...
Hey,
I just rooted my Moto X (XT 1053), like 5 min ago, in the hope to fix this same problem. I`m no programer/developer and have nothing against rooting, I just don`t think I`m that kind of user. Anyway, about a week ago my phone started to drop my calls right after dialing. I restored factory settings, updated it and nothing worked. I took it for service and they offered to charge me 150 bucks to restore factory settings and update the software. So I was kinda forced to root and try to fix it this way. The problem is that I probably don`t understand half of what you guys say, so if there are any kind souls out there, please help me out.
To sum it up:
- No Sim Card error
- I get carrier services and can use mobile internet (3G because 4G is still too explensive here in Brazil)
- Directly drops my calls
- Won't receive calls
- Won't send or receive text messages via carrier (just over 3G or wifi)
I`ve tried another carrier's Sim Card, no go.
I`ve tried my Sim Card on another phone and it worked just dandy, so I really don`t think it`s carrier related.
I`m running Android 4.4.3, as the other updates weren`t available for my phone via Motorola. I thought maybe updating to a newer version of Android might do the trick. I just have no clue on how to do that on a rooted phone... or on a non rooted phone for that matter.
Can anyone give me any tips/pointers/etc... ?
Thanks!
I have the same issue with my moto x on Verizon. Have you been able to figure it out?

[Q] HELP - Phone hangs up immediately after answering call

Ok, I've got a problem that just started happening the last week or two. When certain people call me, I can answer. However my phone always hangs up on them 1 second after the call. The behavior is the same, based on the number calling me.
For instance, if my wife calls me from her cell phone (Sprint iPhone 5S), it will always hang up immediately after answering.
If my wife calls me from our house phone, it always works like normal.
This so far as I can tell, only affects inbound calls. I have no issues calling out.
Running latest OTA. I've updated PRL and profile, and it made no difference. I've never rooted the phone or messed with S-on/off. Pure stock. I have rebooted the phone into safe mode, and the same behavior is present.
Interestingly enough, I'm also on Sprint, I have a Nexus 6 and my wife a Note 4, and we've had the same issue over the past week or two. She can call me and immediately after answering the call will end. This has happened with her calling from her cell phone and her office phone, both of which are attached to her contact. I can call out with no problem, and I've tested calling my phone from different numbers and had no problem. No clue whats going on.
Are one (or both) of you using Sprint's Google Voice integration?

I am having the same issues when my mom (S4) whose on the same contract as me, calls me (S6 edge) it always hang up immediately after I pick it up. I have no issues calling her though. I am using Sprint's Google voice integration but I do not believe my mom is.
It is the Google Voice integration that is causing the disconnects.

I'm having the same problem with a Metro PCS phone. I've seen it elsewhere on line - it's some Android issue.

auto answer phone by black mountain not working since 9/20/2015 update on Moto X (gen

My wife is quadriplegic due to MS. I bought her a Moto X from Verizon a couple of years ago, (I believe it is Gen 1), for the Voice Commands capability. We did not realize that while you can dial a call with voice commands, you CANNOT answer an incoming call. After some searching on the internet, someone else with similar disabilities suggested the "Answer the Call Free" app from Black Mountain. We installed and what a godsend. Very basic, it just answered any incoming call. Since the phone update last week, this app has not worked. Talked to Motorola, they tried this app and a few others, none worked. We could really use some help.

Speakerphone issue after Nougat update

Hi,
I recently updated my T-Mobile HTC One M9 to Nougat. It is not rooted, unlocked, or modified in any way. After the update, I noticed two issues:
1. When on a call, speakerphone seems to fail about 95% off the time. The person can hear me, but I can't hear them. If I turn off speaker phone, it is perfectly fine.
2. If my phone screen is turned on, sometimes I cannot hear calls. I am 90% certain this only happens when connected to bluetooth via my car.
Long story short, I had this phone replaced a few days ago due to the vibration motor no longer functioning. The replacement arrived with Android 6.0. I confirmed speakerphone worked immediately. I then proceeded to install a plethora of updates until I was back on the latest 7.0 version provided by T-Mobile. I did not install any third party apps. I am experiencing the same two issues above. I think similar issues were occurring on the Nexus 6P, at least in regards to speakerphone issues after Nougat updates.
Is anyone else experiencing similar issues? Anyone have a fix?
I currently disabled VoLTE (Voice over LTE). My first speakerphone test worked - so we'll see if that is the temporary fix for now.

MintMobile call problem resolved?

There was a problem with but not limited to some mintmobile users on the P5. Most of the Reddit posts are from November and early December. The problem was that calls would either not connect at all or would drop mid call. I had the P5 for 2 weeks and never had that problem but that may be because I use a Google Voice number and app.
Did anyone use to have that problem and are still using P5 with mint? This they push an update to fix it?
Only problem I had was that wifi calling would work for a few hours and then later on, if you tried to make an outgoing call, it would attempt and immediately die. So far, it seems ok so I think it might be fixed.
