I think my N7000 is broken. Since a couple of days I cannot make or receive phone calls with my SIM card from the carrier 3 (Three Sweden). I've tried two different SIM cards from 3 but it's the same problem. Data traffic still works though since I can surf the Internet without problem. When trying to make a phone call it immediately hangs up, and if I try to make a call to the phone it's unreachable. My phone is unbranded/unlocked BTW.
I've tested with SIM cards from two other carriers and they both work.
The only think I can think of is that 3G voice calls are somehow broken on my N7000. My carrier only supports 3G and maybe that's what's broken... what do you think? (the other cards I tested also supports 2G and maybe that's the reason they worked, but I'm not sure).

I think your issue is the same as mine, though to clarify my issue somewhat:
When the phone does this and I try to make a call it doesn't hang up, it kinds of gets stuck and keeps waiting for the back-end to respond. Similarly, trying to send or receive SMS messages doesn't work either. Rebooting fixes this, though it may happen again quite soon or it may take several days to happen again.
I think it is some background-process related to radio operation getting stuck, though I cannot say what causes it. Factory reset and even full reformat and reset had no effect.
I hope ICS fixes the issue.
What I've tried so far is:
Full wipe - No change
Next step will be to visit my carrier store downtown and test yet another SIM card from them. If that doesn't work I guess I'll have to get it repaired.
Oh yes... I tried another card from another carrier (Telenor) and changed Network Mode from "GSM/WCDMA (Auto mode)" to "WCDMA only" and it still worked. So now I'm not sure why it doesn't work on Tre ?!?

Update: Got a new SIM card from Three but unfortunately it didn't help. Tomorrow I'll send my phone to get repaired :-(

i got the same problem but is t mobile uk, "Data traffic still works though since I can surf the Internet without problem. When trying to make a phone call it immediately hangs up" I tried others sim vodafone, o2 both work without problem.
Factory reset, different stock roms no help...
Yep, same here. I just downgraded to KK4 stock ROM using Odin and it still didn't help.
Cannot send/receive SMS either.

I guess I have a Galaxy Tab 5.3 now

I have a similar issue, some times i cant call and receaved calls ends few seconds after hanging up.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using XDA
i give up, i changed the network providers to 3 network everythings back to normal.
I can't find the link right now but I read somewhere that there's a hidden area on the phone where IMEI and other carries specific information is stored. As I understand that area is not restored when flashing ROMs. Maybe there's a chance that area has been corrupted??

In my case , I cannot receive call - I believe it is software issue.
Is there any workaround how to fix it ?

Have you checked that your IMEI is fine (matches the one in the box or the one below the battery)?
i doubt its software issue, i also thought that i was having a software issue, after so many roms that i tried flashing, same result. stock or customized. I went to samsung service center and they had it tested, replaced the board that has to do with the antenna, and now everything is working properly.
same issue i have checked imei with the box and it ok, i can connect to 3G but can't make call only emergency call.
tried CSC Change
Galaxy Sim Unlocker and all unlocked
Base Band and Firmware on XXLSZ
the phone is british in italy
HELP THZ

Have you guys already tried to use your sims in someone else's phone? Could it be that you have data only plans? Those plans do no allow phone calls even if the device itself can make calls.

Well my case is a bit more complicated.... when i try to dial a number it just black screen and then a popup "Not registered on network" any solution?
Hi i have spice MI 410, or Huaweii Ideos X6 phone, iam fed up of this phone, everthing is working except the calling issuing.
If i make a call or receive a call the call goes blank, then i have to reconnect again and again it goes blank, i gave it to the service center but still the same problem, last time in this forum i got a reply to do sharp fix 2, i dont have any idea how to do sharp fix
Can someone take some time and help me to flash to shap fix 2, how to do CWM recovery mode in detail step by step how to do it
And the links also side by side,
You help will be greatly appreciated
Why don't u try other networks to see, as in change your sim card to another sim on another network to see if its actually a hardware problem cos if it is, there is no amount of flashing that would solve that. Your case might just be a case of a faulty sim card, an unregistered sim card, or even an expired one. Just check another network, try your sim card with another phone to check to be absolutely sure.
My S5 Mini SM-G800F won't stay registered on a network, it registers initially but after a few seconds drops to 'Emergency calls only' with the notification that the selected network is unavailable. The signal strength is fine and the sim works in other phones. It's an unlocked phone, using a different network sim produces the same result. Bought it secondhand just over a month ago and it's been fine up to to a couple of days ago, done a hard factory reset but the issue remains.
Ideas for a fix?
This may or not be similar to an ongoing issue I have with my S5 Mini - See below :- Has your IMEI changed to the below at all - 350695200123951-01 ?
"Hi All,
Did any one actually get a fix for this issue as I have exactly the same problem, my SM-G800F IMEI now also shows as - IMEI 350695200123951-01 which is for a blacklisted NOKIA 6310. If anyone can supply an absolute beginners guide for me as to how I can get my original Imei back that would be fantastic.
I am just a user of an android phone and have zilch experience of tinkering with them.
I have seen reference to things like Odin and flashing firmware and am quite happy to give it a go myself and learn
I will post this on a few other threads that list the same issue as I am desperate to get this fixed now as is a waste of a perfectly good phone !! "

No change to my IMEI, consensus seems to be that it's probably a faulty SIM card reader.
Seems like a common enough problem with zero clear solutions.
Bought an unlocked L09 P9 with Vodafone Spain on it, popped sim card in and said emergency calls only.
Tried flashing new builds, changing imei/vendor/sn/etc and even flashed a backup nv file. using those dc products. None of that worked. The closest I've gotten is getting the phone to say "no service" instead of "emergency calls only"
Can someone please provide some form of support in terms of which direction I should go in?
Phone number is shown in settings but signal strength is 0. Phone has been reset numerous times. I believe this is a software issue.
Thanks

You bought as a second hand - did you test before paying? Did it work for previous owner with his SIM card?
And before you started flashing you should have checked with various SIM cards, an in the hidden Project menu was it really unlocked (not bootloader).
Might be really a hardware problem but now after you flashed IMEI, NVRAM, who knows

What is the solution for this issue? I also repaired nv partition, and now can not make calls.
Hi,
On the way back from work, my phone lost signal. Reset didn't help, I try to install new firmware but didn't help. Only emergency calls I can make,
SIM card works normal on different phone. In side settings, I see my carrier name.
Maybe someone had the same issue ?
Hello there!
I too have same issue from few months. Did you find a solution for this? Everything else works. Looks like some issue with antenna
