[Q] 800 number calling problems - T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I note 4 is running on stock and is rooted and I am having problems making any 800, 888, 877 calls. Sometime it will make the calls, but most times it won't. Is anyone else having this problem or could it be something in the settings?

Go into call settings & disable volte. Than try again. Hope this does the trick.

Can't Use Data While On a Call

I seem to be having issues using Data when I'm on a call. I'm on T-mobile in San Francisco running 2.2.1. Does anyone else have this problem or know how to remedy this?
Contrary to T-Mobile's position that I can do data while on a call, I typically have the same issue as you. I've only been able to get online a few times while on a call. Usually there's no data connection available.
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
You can only use data during a call when you see the little 3g symbol at the top near your signal bars. If it shows E, then you can't.
I am not sure if the problem has anything to do with being on T-Mobile. I'm in India & I have observed that on all versions of android, there seems to be a problem in following cases :-
1. Making a call while an sms is being sent out. Try it, and your sms would be returned undelivered & call would not get through. You'll have to reboot the phone to make it work again.
2. Try making a call while data transfer is on. It fails.
3. If some one calls you while data transfer is on, he gets a busy tone.
I started off on my Nexus One with 2.1 & I'm currently on 2.2. My friend who owns a galaxy s and is on 2.1 also has the same problems.
None of these problems existed on my nokia e90.

1. Never tried, but happened to receive calls with SMS being sent. Worked.
2. Works fine.
3. Works fine. Moreover, I happen to use a lot of tethering, and tether for hours while talking on the phone - calling people and getting calls.
I guess it's your carrier to blame, not the OS and not the phone(s).
To the OP: as everyone said and will say in this thread, watch for your connection. Having 3G signal is a requirement.

You must be in a 3G area for simultaneous voice and data.

i dont get those errors, and i've specifically tested making a call while transferring data, and many combinations of that.
i have never, though, tried the sms send and call test. i'll have to try that out.
anyway, the nexus one can use data during a phone call on the 3G network. if you are connected to EDGE then it will not work and the data will pause.
My phone does show a 3G signal and I still can't do it. I know that T-Mobile throttle the speed. Do you think it has to do with throttling?

it must be some isolated case with your spcific sim card or something. when connected to 3g you absolutely should be getting simultaneous voice and data, its very well know. not sure what else you could do.
This is weird. Ive always been able to get simultaneous voice and data. Never had a problem.

[Q] How to make voice valls over GSM on P7300

I get one Samsung GT-P7300 when I insert SIM card inside I get 3G networks
and everything is OK.
But I can't make or receive Voice calls.
Is there chance to install something or change my ROM to push My Tablet to make normal voice calls, as we can with Galaxy 7(P1000)
Thanks in advanced
from reading a ton of posts in this forum, my impression is that nobody managed to do that so far.
You could always use GrooVe IP with google voice.
At the moment don't believe it can be done. However, you have options such as Viber and others that can do some sort of call.
Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S II using XDA App
Is there any possibilities in future that ICS may be able to have gsm phone function?
It may depend on if P7300 has gsm voice build-in hardware...
Anybody try to disect the phone apk from galaxy tab 7 and see whats what
I really don't see the need for voice calls on a tablet? Only situation I could think of is in the car when using it as a navigation system?

Some of us would like to double our tab as a phone. I'm still trying to find a tab that has calling capabilities.
Sent from my HTC Inspire "4G" using XDA Premium App
How about hardware capability?
there is chance to do that? I mean, maybe someone can confirmed that built in modem has a capability for gsm calls?

The GT7.7 and GT7+ can make phone calls.

I believe the hardware is capable of making voice calls because the early test units had this capability. Of course they did have a sdcard also, so it is possible that the radio hardware was also changed. But I believe it's disabled in baseband or our baseband is just missing this functionality.
And i also have a question, are GT8.9 and GT10.1 using the same radio hardware? I believe i have read somewhere that they do, but i can't find this information anymore. If they are, then we could try P7500 KK4 baseband as it is reported that it has made voice calls.
Phone calls
Hey poisike,
I've tried the latest version of your ICS Alpha 1 release for the 3G Tablet, and in fact, i can :
Receive SMS
Send SMS (with a warning "not sent" as you mentionned)
Receive phone calls (with or without headset... it's working)
I can't make phone calls so far. It says "call ended" as soon as I hit the green handset button.
Not sure if it helps the author of this thread, because going to Alpha releases for someone you want to stay in contact might not be a good idea. But i wanted to let Poisike know that his last release was on the right track !
@Poisike : Sorry, i'm new to this forum, so i can't post yet in Android Dev threads
Wow, it's a very good news that ICS Alpha 1 release for the GT8.9 3G version can receive phone calls over GSM. It may mean that make a phone call is doable.
can you share the link of ICS alpha where incoming calls work?

Also just to be clear, it's an Alpha release... So you may have the incoming phone call working, but then be disapointed because Camera is not working or something else.

Good find, thanks! I actually tried it when i built the rom and it didn't work. It is not a priority for me at the moment, so i didn't test it more. Now i realised i had a wrong sim card in so i called the wrong number.
I installed the ROM but nothing not receive calls ... please help ...
I have also done so reset date. no. By calling the number to be fast busy ...
For the rest there are always the same video problems in the rotation. Wifi and 3G are OK. Opening speed OK. I miss GSM calls ... this ROM would be just the TOP with the GSM CALLS!

Are you sure your SIM card can receive call or is it a data only subscription that you have ? Because i can't receive call on my Data only SIM card... only if I put my GSM SIM from my phone
here is how I set it up.
I've the ClockworkMod Recovery v5.0.2.6.
-Reboot in recovery
-Wipe menu, wipe all data
-Install Rom from zip + wipe
-Install GoogleApps from zip
Nothing I have followed your instructions. My gtab 8.9 has the following characteristics:
Recovery v.5.1.2.6-CWM (I do not think is a problem to run wipe and install with this version)
I put sim in the phone and then work is also enabled with calls.
Give me a hand please ...

[Q] CM11 calling problems?

Hi, I'm currently running CM11, after flashing from stock. Whenever I attempt to make a call, through Hike, Razer, even WhatsApp(ticking sound comes for the receiver) the receiver cannot hear me, but I can hear them clearly. Is anyone facing this same problem? If anyone could, please try it out. It also happened to me on ProuDroid(4.4.4) but for a brief period on which I was on CM12(QuantumLP) the calling on razer worked fine. So I'm thinking it's maybe CM11 roms ?
Might be CM 11/12 issue try searching the relevant threads in the development section and do some research before posting
Same here. Just reboot the phone the problem will be solved.

I have the same problem with a skyrocket running cm11. It happened after I enabled whatsapp calling. Whenever I made or received a whatsapp call the mic would be disabled even for phone calls after that. I would have to reset the phone to restore functionality. I had to go back to an old 2.11.515 version of whtsapp to disable calling. Now everything is fine except for whatsapp calling.

Have you checked your APN settings?
Have you tried a new sim card?
Have you looked through your phone app settings for anything that may have changed?
Do you have Wi-Fi calling enabled?
Does putting the phone in airplane mode then back out of airplane mode seem to help?
Do you have any call control apps installed?

Not receiving calls (SM-N950F) on T-Mobile

I bought this Note 8 (SM-N950F) in Amazon.
Sometimes when people call me I dont receive the calls nor notifications...they go directly to voicemail.
I'm in US using the same T-Mobile SIM that I've used with my two previous phones (they worked perfectly).
I'm aware that this is not a US model but I'm able to make calls and receive many calls, I can use 4G too with no conectivity issue.
But sometimes I dont receive calls and that worries me because that'd be a big deal in case of an emergency :/
I've searched on the web but have found no solutions. I will really appreciate your help guys

You can just search "tmobile apn setting for [your phone]" on google and it should appear. I found mine and I did it but still cant make or receive any calls. I think they messed up my SIM, Im trying to figure out how can i contact them cause i cant even call them.

I'm able to make calls any time, and receives calls sometimes...but I recently noticed that when I'm not receiving calls, I just make a call and instantly I'm able to receive calls...so, I'm pretty sure it has to do with the phone app going to sleep.

I went to TMobile and I got a new SIM too....still the same issue. But let me know if it works for you anyways.
Like I said, I'm sure that what's causing the issue, is the "phone" app simply hibernating, but I don't know specifically what's the name.
If anyone here could let me know what's the name of the app that controls the cellular activity, would be great
