Signal issue please help - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions & Answers

Verizon S8+ acting up.
Signal stays at 1 bar and jumps to 3 bars back and forth when i try to make a call.
Initially, it will take few seconds before call is made, then call is active and 3 bars are showing.
Constant dropped calls. People cant hear me or vice versa.
Text messages dont go through unless i open the dialer to wake it up ?
Am i waking it up or what ?
Tried network reset.
Tried hard reset.
Tried different sim.
Carrier irrelevent since different sim that has 4 bars on another phone acting exactly the same.
Issue persists.
I observed this behavior in LG V20. Bars go up when making a call but then drop.

tilt-top bar locking up?

When I make/recieve a call, and I try to access the top bar (start button) the top bar locks up. if I try a shortcut button to IE for example, IE loads but just says connecting... if I hangup the call, it redoes the 3G connection (it was 3G before I was on the call) and the IE works.
BUT the top bar is locked up. Start/3G icon, etc doesn't click. Only the "X" will work until I do a reboot.
This might happen like 2-3 time out of 10 times I try this.
And this next part might be a ATT issue, but I sear people say they call me, but they don't hear a ring. They have to hang up and try again. Sometimes they call and it goes straight to VM but I have full bars on my phone. I know this cuz this happened to me when I was testing out the above problem.
Is this a phone issue or something on ATT side?
The second issue you are having is an ATT issue...This happened to me ALL the time with my 3125...I think it primarily has to do with the service but dont quote me...I'll put this in the all encompassing Tilt thread (stickied)...so just look there for answers from now on. Thanks.
try do disable the automaticly password funktion from tytn II.
if the function disabled (and you has not set any pass) some problems of the tytn II are resolved..
specially if you make a phonecall and after taht, or switching between 3G and Voice call.. (depends on Email Push fuctionality)

[Q] Phone won't ring when screen is locked. 2.1 black Quarx

Hi guys
I have noticed something weird. My phone won't ring when the screen is locked, in fact, it doesn't show the incoming call screen or anything. Eventually, I am told that "the cell phone I am trying to ring is either turned of or outside the cell phone network" by a pre-recorded message. I am running 2.1 black Quarx.
Its very strange, if the phone is unlocked and I ring it then it rings and everything is fine. If I ring it while its locked, then unlock it, then sometimes after 10 seconds it might ring eventually.
Has anybody got any idea about what is going on?
Actually, its a little more complicated as I have found out while been playing around a bit today. If I leave it for say more than 10 minutes, it won't ring. If I leave it alone for 10 minutes, then ring and let the phone ring for a minute my cell won't ring. If I hit the home button which wakes the screen up, the phone will - after a 2 or 3 seconds delay - show the incoming call screen and start ringing! It doesn't seem to matter if its plugged in or not, in fact, I can run "adb catlog" while ringing! Nothing in the logs seem to hiont at what the issue is.
I used to get something similar to what you are experiencing but somehow along the way the problems just stopped. I think its because I've flashed my phone so many times. Just reflash your phone and see if that helps. If it doesn't then flash to a different 2.1 version

It is probably an issue with my cell phone network, rather than my phone! Which is good and bad, because it means I have to wait for those dicks to fix their stuff - I can't fix it myself.

Why won't my screen shut off

I've googled and looked all over for a fix but I can't seem to find a solution. My S6 screen won't shut off after 30 seconds of inactivity. If I get a text message or my battery reaches 100% overnight, my screen will stay until I turn it off myself.
Also, while I'm here, I'm experiencing call issues too. Sometimes when calling or receiving calls, it connects but neither side can hear anything. I have to hang up and call again. Is there a call bug?
Any solution?
Try a factory reset. If that doesn't work, the phone might be defective.

You checked your display settings correct? I have yet to have any call problems but I disabled volte so that might be why. When in doubt do a factory reset and if that doesn't work odin.
I always notice my screen will not turn off when it should. I use wireless charging btw.

If this is a legitimate problem and not a settings thing you guys have defective phones and should have swapped them out in your 14 day return period. What is described here should never happen unless the settings are set that way.

Multiple issues using Paranoid

I'm having quite a few issues with my ROM'd Z phone using Paranoid. I've recently updated to the latest version as soon as I was alerted.
1. The lock screen freezes, or rather becomes limited in responsiveness. I use the swipe up to unlock. When I swipe up, the clock/notifications just bounces and eventually the screen goes dark, then off. Sometimes I can reset using the power menu, but often the screen is totally unresponsive so I have to do a hard reset. On occasion I have to reset multiple times consecutively because it locks up immediately after boot... until its finally usable again. https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B7OGcalUJSgHblZob2Q2eHNkLU0
2. The phone gets hot in my pocket. When I notice this, often it has unlocked, turned on GPS, turned on the LED, taken photos and opened apps, or a combination of things. Sometimes even made a phone call, either to a contact or a recent from the log.
3. Recently I noticed it randomly ghost selecting right in front of me. I was unable to unlock and had to hard reset the phone.https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B7OGcalUJSgHVmJhQ0FOUDdLQkE
4. I am not getting SMS alerts from Optus 321 telling me I have messages from when the phone was off, or out of service range. Often I won't know till I randomly check days later, or when I miss a call (while on another call or in service range) and they leave a message.
5. Sound drops in and out from the other party. They can always hear me. Randomly, on some calls. I can have 3 good conversations, then the next I have to call back multiple times before I get enough up time.
5a. When I'm making a call, I may not even hear the outgoing ringing tone.
6. On any new call, the the volume on my Bluetooth headset is usually down about half way. I click the Vol+ and it immediately jumps to full, the volume bar already being at full.
7. When it rings, it often takes a second or more (after the ring tone has started) for the screen to turn on.
On suggestion by a friend, I disabled a lot of notifications, but the lock screen still won't unlock even when the only thing showing is the clock.
I guess there is problems with the the phone hardware, the ROM or incompatibilities with it and an APP.
Is there some diagnostics, or an app that I can run that will log what is going on and I can have someone look at those logs for me?
You should ask in Paranoid Support Thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-zl/orig-development/rom-paranoid-android-5-t2992023
Thankyou. I could not find it.
edit: That thread is closed. There is a link at the end for a 'new home', but that thread is under Xperia ZL. Is the ZL considered the same phone?
I'm really sorry.
i gave you a wrong link. Shame on me.

Latest T-Mobile Update

Some of y'all have probably gotten the latest update, that includes the Dec security patch, camera improvement and more importantly that new spam-screening stuff. Well, I've gotten 5 spam calls today, after not having one for days, and when the caller hangs up (after hearing nothing but silence from me) the screen locks up. But just the call phone app/call screen.
I can hit the home button and return to my home screen just find, close and reopen the phone app just fine, but that hangup freeze is kind of annoying. Reason being because after every spam call ends you know about that "block number" option that appears right after the call ends? I can't get to it because of this bug. I tried taking a screen shot but it wouldn't let me because the screen freezes.
It's not a big deal, just a minor inconvenience but I wanted to know if any other T-Mobile user with the latest OTA has experienced the same thing.
I'm on Verizon and have a similar problem. It's a major pita. Anytime I get a call my phone freezes up. I can't unlock it for at least a few tries, once unlocked all I've got is a frozen black screen with a missed call notification and an ongoing incoming call notification at the same time. Neither can be dismissed or cleared. It does show me the options to but they don't work when pressed. Average lockup of my phone is upwards of 5 minutes. If I miss a call no matter how long ago it came in I've got the same issue unlocking and it always displays the missed call and appears that the call is either active or incoming. Basically can't use the phone as a phone. Texts work fine however.
