I have unlocked my G1 to use with my AT&T SIM card, and sometimes, my friends text me saying that they called me a few times and I didn't answer, but my phone has not rung at all. So I was curious and called my phone with a few of my friends' phones, and it does not ring sometimes. Out of 13 different calls, only 3 of them rang on my phone. I think texting works perfectly fine though. Can someone please help? Thank you!
I can't help you right away but I can guide you to a thread where people are discussing similar problem and trying to find an answer.

if you are using a Tmo G1 on the ATT network, then I believe it will be EDGE only. I could be wrong, but I thought that EDGE didn't allow simultaneous voice and data. Maybe you've got something running in the background and it's blocking the voice calls. Try turning data off, just phone only and see if it works.

I don't think that it works like that. Voice calls should still come through, but data will be blocked when it does. This is because the network doesn't provide enough bandwidth to support both at the same time.
Has anyone out thought of a switch for root users on 4g phones to disable 3g so you don't have 2 wireless radios for 3g and 4g running at the same time? If so, can someone name the app, or tell me where I can find the info on it?

I think if you disable the 3g radio you would have no voice or text. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

you're right. 4g is only for data.

I'm not sure this is correct. On the Thunderbolt, you can switch it to LTE only, and it remains able to make calls and send/receive texts. Although perhaps that doesn't disable the 3G radio.

Only reason this even came to my attention is because I had heard rumors about the Sprint users being able to disable their 3g radio and still receive texts and voicemails... So, I figured I would ask about it. I mean with dumbphones that weren't 3g how did those receive those functions without a 3g radio?
voice/text messages are on 1x while internet is on 3g/4g

Issue I see, is sometimes I'll lose 4g around here (GR area too), and if 3g was off, I wouldn't have data at all.

Than why when I'm on 3g, in a non 4g zone, when I go to make a call, the phone disables 3g?

@sheatyj - I would have use for this though because I travel the country for work... Most places I go are all 4g (or at least Verizon claims them to be) so if I can disable my 3g radio, I can make my phone last a little longer... Also It will help with me having issues with my phone jumping back into 3g when I just had 3 bars of 4g.
heard of a toggle on thunderbolt a widget
How about switch to turn off all but wifi?
A nice feature of my Blackberry was the ability to turn OFF the telephone and leave the WIFI turned ON. This was great for non-coverage areas and when I traveled internationally. Can this be done on the Bionic? tnx

Just enable Airplane Mode. That will turn everything off.
Once everything is off, just re-enable WiFi and/or Bluetooth if you want to use just that.
I am looking at adding the wifi hotspot service to my phone.
I'm wondering if anybody uses it and what your experiences are?
Any things I should watch out for?
A salesman at Best Buy told me that while hotspot is running I can't make or receive phone calls, is this true?
I should clarify, I'm asking about the Verizon mobile hotspot service added to my account. I am not asking about the hacks to steal the service. I understand the reasons others use them, it's just not for me. Whether I like their rules or not, it's Verizon's network so I'm going to play by the rules.
EDIT: it looks like I have the primary answer I was concerned about, you can still make and receive calls while using the hotspot.
I have the 4g LTE hotspot on my Galaxy Nexus. Most of the time when I'm using it, I'm in 3g mode. If a call comes in, it suspends the internet connection until the call is over. I've never tried making a call while using the hotspot, and I'm not sure what would happen when using the hotspot in 4g LTE mode. Since voice calls don't use 4g LTE, I don't see why it wouldn't allow voice calls while using 4g LTE hotspot.

That's pretty much what I expected, what the tech was telling me didn't make sense. It did have just enough plausibility to it though as a carry over from the 3g days when they couldn't do voice and data at the same time.

Thanks, I thought that was one of the draws of lte was being able to have data and voice at the same time.
I'm starting to think this is a viable option as our home internet connection, dropped Comcast a last fall and been using just out phones. It has been working but finding more and more times where I need to get my computer online.

When you are using it are you running on battery or plugged in?
If you're running plugged in does it have the power to run like that indefinitely or does it still drain your battery?
Hi, on my Moto x on Verizon, even when im on Wifi at home (usually a pretty good signal) it still searches and is constantly trying to connect to a Verizon mobile signal. The problem is that in my house we have a terrible signal (usually low 1x to emergency calls only) so when receiving calls or texts, the call either drops out constantly or never goes through, and i get texts hours later and sometimes when i send they never go through.
It seems that even though im connected to Wifi, its only using that for data and is using the mobile connection for everything else. On my GNex when i connected to wifi it would basically ignore the mobile connection at that point and use wifi for everything. It wouldnt even show if i had a 1x/3g/lte connection at that point. The moto x continues to show me what data connection i have on wifi. Is this how the moto x just works, or is this just some weird device specific or verizon issue?
Turn on airplane mode, then wifi. Airplane= no mobile data.

That's how all android phones work. SMS and MMS don't use data (unless your using Google voice). Your GNex didn't ignore the wireless signal (there would be no way to route calls and texts without it). You can call Verizon and they will put in a signal booster for free.

also the signal booster will be tied to your wifi connection so now when you have a good wifi connection you should have a good signal. With the booster your texts and phone calls will not be going through your wifi network. The type of service verizon uses doesn't let them router phone calls and texts through wifi networks. I believe tmobile or some other brands have the ability to do this already but verizon doens't. Not the phones fault its the radios the carrier uses.

how do you get them to do that for free? i need one of them since this phone has been getting worse signal than any of my previous phones (including my gnex).

just complain enough that your signal is so bad that it is not usable in your house. You might have to call the I am going to cancel service hotline and say you will leave because you aren't getting service. Just complain some more. then ask for supervisor. complain some more. eventually some one will offer you one for free.
T-Mobile has that ability. That's the primary reason I have them for my backup phone (the cheap Lumia 521). I have that phone set to default to WiFi calling so while I'm at home it never uses the TMo network. Unfortunately, the Moto X does not support this feature.

So I have had my Turbo for about ten days. Other than not having two way data has anyone notice issues on making phone calls and quality? I have max 4g lte bars as soon as I dial out it switches to 1x. Then I noticed people say they are losing me in conversations.
Now then same calls with my Droid maxx same location no issues.

I get the same thing too! I hate it but it's because you can't use data and call on this phone.
I get that too. AC podcast says that when Verizon rolls out voice over LTE it should fix everything
You will loose your data signal until VZW sends out the update to support VoLTE. That's why it's dropping to 1X. Mine just drops the symbol completely, so I just get a blank spot when I make a call. I've heard it'll be out by the end of the year. If it doesn't come out soon, I'll have to switch to the G2 until it does come out.
The maxx just got it'd update to ims&volte. Turbo should get it soon, probably with the lollipop update .

There is a work-around. Install Google hangout. Install Google hangout dialer. Sign up for Google voice if you don't have an account. Install Google voice. Now you can use hangout to make and receive calls over data when you must also have internet for vpn or other reasons. It works surprising well.

Except google voice would not be optimized like volte. Also it would count against your data and you will be using a GV number and not your cell.

Unfortunately it won't be. It is going to be a separate update which we are supposed to get before the new year.

strange indeed
Phone calls on Verizon still go over the 1x network (and they ALWAYS have.) I am guessing that the radio can't work in multiple modes at the same time (hardware limitation) but that is just speculation on my part. Pretty stupid really considering most LTE phones can do it already, but maybe it was just something with no priority as the Lollipop upgrade will most likely ad VoLTE anyway and make it a moot point.
Is anyone still having this problem? I can't make or receive calls the last few hours. It drops to 1G, just says dialing but won't ever connect when trying to call out. If I try to call myself from another phone it says I haven't set up my voicemail box yet (I've had this phone for over a month, and set it up back when I first got it). The phone worked fine a few hours ago. I'm not sure where to start fixing the problem. Any help would be great!
