Unable to place calls - X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys, I did a quick check through the first 5 pages or so of this forum and couldn't find anything, so here we go.
My phone's been overheating and quickly draining the battery on stock ROM (I have the XT1095 developer edition), so I switched over to crDroid to see if that would help. It did, but now I can't place or receive any calls. I've tried other ROMs, but I still have the same problem. When I try and place a call, my phone goes to the boot screen immediately. I've tried using different APNs to no avail as well. Can anyone help me? I'd prefer not to go back to stock, but I will if that's my only option.

If you're replacing the default AOSP/CM dialer, then you have to set it as default:
Settings > Apps > Gear Icon > Default Apps > Phone App
Is your carrier name showing on the lock screen?

Same issue I had ... set the default as Gus Ghanem said and you will be good to go.

You're welcome! This is a known issue, it happens when you flash Gapps and the Phone/Dialer app is replaced, you have to reset the new Dialer as Default.

[Q] Data Enabled Option

I am using an N1 and set it up with Tmobile web2go using the internet2.voicestream.com apn for data and epc.tmobile.com for mms. Now on my G2, I am able to toggle data enabled on and off. On the N1 however, that option is not even available to me. Is there an APN setting I have to have if I'm using web2go or something? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I have the data on off option on my nexus one. Though I am using cyanogen ROM but I thought the option was always there...
That is what I thought too but does not seem to be the case. I have the option on my G2. It had micromod's 2.3 on there before and same thing, had no option to toggle data on off, reverted back to stock, still no option. I am assuming its something with APN settings, just not sure what.
Does turning off the mobile data or background data option turn it off? Think its under accounts in main settings.

That option *should* be in Settings --> Wireless & network settings --> Mobile networks.

Yes I know it should be there but it's not. I've also noticed this same exact think on my friends Captivate. There has to be a fix for this.
The option is there on my stockish FRG83D:
Hmm, in that case you could perhaps try one of the various applications available that will toggle your APN settings. I use JuiceDefender; you could use it to create a widget to toggle your data connection from your homescreen.
It's my brothers phone. I'm going to take a look at it later, he said he bought it rooted, had gingerbread on it before hand but asked the guy to revert it to stock before selling it. We'll see.
Ah, so it may or may not actually be stock. If he's looking for a stock experience, I'd suggest following the instructions found in the wiki for reverting back to stock. Otherwise, I'd highly recommend a CyanogenMod ROM for maximum speed and utility.
If it was reverted back to Eclair then it won't have the option, it was added in Froyo.
It could be that, I'll take a look at his phone if I get a chance to go home today. He is a n00b, he is a former iPhone user (not the good kind btw).
He is running Android 2.1-update1 with build EPE76. His phone is rooted, when booting I see the lock icon at the bottom. I've search the forums, can't find the original OTA update.zip file to update it to latest version. Help please?
Download the FRG83 system image from http://developer.htc.com
Use fastboot to flash system.img and boot.img from it to the phone and it will do the rest via OTA.
You are being great help Rusty, thank you. I'm following instructions here (http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Fastboot) and my phone has S-On. Since these files are straight from HTC, do I have to go through and make it S-Off?
You can't make an N1 S-OFF, as long as you see a padlock on startup you're good to go.
Thank you Rusty!, you've been great help.

Thanks. It is time I flashed new Rom.
When I got mine I had the same problem, no way to configure lock screen, after many many tries it works, no reason to work, no reason to not work, I think should be a bug.

Guys
I can't get mine to work either!
Put a password and a swipe code thingy a few times now and nothing.
Just keeps saying lockscreen off!
Any ideas?
Ok I found the solution.
You have to click location / security header at the top of the screen after you've selected continue once you enter password or pattern.

Runkeeper and other running apps are closing

Hi there,
My OP is working fine since the update to 4.02 except for 1 thing. The apps I use for recording my running workouts are closing after a while. I have tried different apps (runkeeper, polar beat, Strava) but they are all having the same problem. After a while (not always the same time) they close. All my battery save options are disabled. I tried to lock it in the recents screen.
On 3.x.x roms there was no problem and yes I did a factory reset after the update, my phone is stock no root etc....
I'm thinking about going back to 3.x.x rom if there is no solution for this

Now I switched it on put the apps in the upper section "allow apps to start automaticly" (translate that because it's in dutch on my phone) and then disabled the function. Is that ok or do I have to leave it on?
Under settings, battery, menu, high power usage apps. Do you have this set to on?

You can try with shortcut master app , you can access many hidden settings this way
Shortcut Master cannot provide access to most of the interesting codes since an Oreo update approximately a year ago...

If what this app does is what you're looking for, then I'm not sure what the problem is, because on my device I have a setting to lock the network to LTE/3G/2G (auto conenct); 3G/2G (auto connect); 3G only; and 2G only. I'm not sure what more you want.

I'm sorry i should've been more clear and precise. I was looking for the hidden activity called Hidden Network Settings that was present in Oreo. By using that i was able to lock my phone to specific Network Bands like B40 or B5 or multiple specific bands.
However in PIE that hidden activity is not present, i did go through all of them one by one.
Thanks for your help guys
Hi there , I've been searching for topics like this in the past three hours to share the way I did to make Hidden Network settings work on pie.
Here's what I have done. Well it may not work for you if you're not rooted but I believe that there's another simpler way than mine
First. I have downloaded hidden network settings.apk from apk mirror the last update which is on 31-03-2019
Second I have installed it using Lucky Patcher
Rebuild & Install > Navigate to the path where you downloaded Hidden Network settings > Install it as a system app ( integrate app to system ) > Reboot
Please let me know if it worked out for you

This would have been finally the Solution. But without root no chance to install as system app !! I am searching since Month to find a solution for my Note 9 and Pie.
I can't root because to many Apps and google Pay will cause troule with time.

I rooted my phone and installed the Hidden Network Settings app from OREO stock rom in PIE as system app
Just pushed the app in system apps directory with the right permissions
I am now able to lock network bands.
However it only works in rooted cases.
I wasnt able to do anything in stock unrooted rom
Is there a similar hidden menu that I can access to fix my GPS? It only works when I'm stationary, and VERY slow to update when I'm driving. The most annoying issue is that any APP like Google Maps is oriented 90 degrees in a different direction whenever I place it in "compass" mode (even when moving). I've done the figure-8 calibration numerous times whenever prompted, but it doesn't help.

Question WhatsApp won't receive calls when screen is off and locked

Got Samsung Galaxy A33 last month, and suddenly WhatsApp calls won't come through when the screen is locked
Have tried uninstall and reinstall
Completely unrestricted access to whatsapp in battery and data
However, nothing seems to work

Downloaded it through playstore,
Checked all permissions, all notifications are on both in system settings and in app settings, unrestricted access selected but still the call won't come through no matter what.
Even hard resetting the phone didn't help at all

Nope, never found a fix for this.
Had to hard reset the phone after wiping everything off still faced the issue, updated the phone to latest android 13, the issue is somewhat gone as the messages are delayed but goes through most of the times but experience the same a few times
