Got my xda back from repair yesterday (following a problem whereby it forgot it was a phone and refused to make or receive calls or send or receive text messages). Now, there doesn't appear to be a phone pad for writing text messages using T9 - which is very annoying, because that's the mode I like to use as my main preference.
This morning, after charging the unit up overnight, I went to make a phone call, and instead of opening up the phone screen, it kept insisting what I really needed was my tasks. I had to reset the unit to get it to make a call.
I've decided it's completely unstable, and am going to try to get it replaced. Not a happy bunny. I've only had this thing a couple of months, and it's never worked properly from day one. I wish it would, because in THEORY, it's the mutt's.

This is quite annoying. Starting some time last night, I have been having a hell of a time making any kind of call.
If I make a call out, I hit send, it sits for 3 or 4 seconds, then says call ended. I called my own phone and it rang 2 times and went to voicemail.
Throughout this time I've had no problem receiving texts (not sure about sending them).
Anyone ever have this problem? I did a hard reset of it earlier today and added the touch-it 2.3 rom, but that hasn't changed anything.
Hmm. I hard reset a few times, I flashed back to the original tmobile ruu...still nothing. Once in a while after a reset I can make 1 call, or receive 1 call (that happened only once), but after that...nothinng. Looks like I gotta bring it in and get it swapped out or something.
Weird. I decided to try calling my gf while I was on my way over to her place, and it worked fine, and has been working fine since. This is on the original t-mobile RUU. I'm flashing it back to touch-it now, and I'll see if it keeps working.
I was on the phone for like half an hour with their tech support and we got nowhere, so this is weird.
i have the same problem, but not always.
just sometimes..
this time i try to re-search network..
usually it works, but i dont understand, why does it do this..
please help us

It could just be a coincidence....
but ever since I've had my HD, I'm losing text messages. I've had people say they've sent me a text but I've never received them. I've even sat next to someone and got them to send me a text (with delivery reports turned on) and it says it's been delivered, but the text never arrived.
it happens randomly though so difficult to trace.
Like I said, it could just be coincidence, but this morning I went to my phone and found 4 text messages sat in my outbox that hadn't been sent...no warning, no alarm, they just never went. I had to reset my phone before they would go.
I'll give O2 a call but I know the response I'm going to get...nothing wrong that they can see!!!
starting to get frustrating as I could have missed lots of important texts
This is strange indeed. Have you also tried looking in the full inbox? Not just in TouchFlo 3D...
I don't use TF3D so it wont be that. I've just set up bluebook on o2 so if messages appear in there but not on my phone then I'll know it's a system problem and not a phone problem.
and since the O2 customer service system has been down ever since I got my phone they can't even help me look into it!!
Hi Folks,
I've been having some proper trouble with my Hero over the last couple of days. Namely that it won't make phonecalls directly out of the pocket. If it's been locked, in my pocket, I take it out and try dialling and it just goes silent for a second then beeps and reverts back to the phone screen. In every instance I've tried a restart and it works.
Is this going to need to be sent back or is it something I'm doing wrong? Also, have any of you noticed your screen scrolling between screens without the phone being touched?
Any input would be greatly appreciated.
Strange. The first thing always to try (especially before you go to the extreme of sending it back), is a factory reset.
Remember it'll wipe the device back to factory, and you'll loose all your data. You'll have to resync your contacts etc.
But its the best way to figure out if its a hardware or software issue. Factory settings here means a reformat and reimage of the whole OS. There's an option in the settings to do it.
Thanks mate. I tried the reset this afternoon and so far, so good.
I had some problems with mine with the calls as I couldn't make or receive a call even though there was signal.
People would call me on the landline as they tried to call and said the phone was off (stranger still the call wouldn't go to my voicemail and would say the number was unobtainable) and I wouldn't be able to call out.
It would say dialling for 5-6 seconds maybe more then beep and go back to the phone dialler screen.
Many calls to T-Mobile later (tried new sim card and a factory reset) and it still wouldn't work. T-Mobile techs suggested I switch it to run on 2G networks only which made it better but I argued that my previous phone (SE W910i) didn't need manual switching between networks to work properly.
So after more discussion they agreed that something wasn't right with my Hero and sent a replacement out.
So far so good for the replacement
Thanks for the heads up, mate. Since I did my factory reset I've had no trouble but I'm half expecting it!
No problem
I'll admit that I keep my Hero on 2G networks now (not for any signal and call issues) as it really helps save battery power. Yeah, the net performance is slower but after all its only fetching a few facebook updates and the gmail is still fast to use. I can switch it back if need be for fast internet.
Hi there my xda-friends!
Every since I updated my phone to Froyo (official) I've had two problems. I unrooted my phone before I updated to 2.2.
The first one is pretty strange. A friend of mine says that my phone sends him a text with about five minutes delay, which says that I have received the text he sent me. He also has a Legend with Froyo on it, but so does my sister, and she doesn't receive any texts from me (except the ones I sent her of course).
This can be solved by restarting my phone, but it begins sending "I've read your text now"-messages to my friend again after about a day. Both me and my friend have tried to remove our conversations and such, (oh, and I still see the sort-by-time bug with my texts, but I think that's because the messages-app doesn't sort my seconds, only minutes).
The other problem I have is that I can't receive calls after a random amount of days, and I can see that my mobile-internet is trying to connect, gets a connection and drops it after a few seconds, and repeats, seen by the internet-icon in the system-bar(?). Then I know something is wrong with my phone (this time, I wasn't able to receive calls).
But again, this can be resolved by restarting my phone, but that shouldn't be necessary, everything worked in 2.1!
I would like Not to factory reset my phone, if you guys have any tips I could try before I'm forced to trying force-resetting.

I think only wipe can help you

Alright. That's too bad. But now I've factory-reset it, and so far it feels a little snappier than before, and I got the new market-app with the green skin almost immediately, so maybe something was aching up
Hello all, I've been a happy owner of a Note 3 32gb for Verizon for around 6 months now. The phone has been working great up until about 2-3 weeks ago and what its been doing in place has been quite strange. The phone REFUSES to receive phone calls, but its COMPLETELY random. Some days it will work just fine, others I will get reports from people that they called me 3-4 times, the phone rang all the way through, and I myself would never receive as much as a notification that I was even getting called. It's happening very consistently with my Girlfriend (We talk quite often, long distance relationship) and Its really beginning to get on both of our nerves. I've also had issues with text messaging, I'll receive messages from her DAYS after they have been sent (And I've already received them) and in some cases we've had texts come through that we didn't even send, at one point a text that I sent her, made it half way there, and the second half of the text was replaced with what appeared to be someone elses conversation. The phone works just fine for surfing the internet, tethering, etc, but when it comes to calls and texts it seems to be all messed up. I've tried resetting it, and I've checked my sim card, neither of which seem to be the issue. I'm currently located in Pensacola, FL, and am receiving decent service (2-3 bars most of the time on 4GLTE). Anyone have any idea what the issue could be or a way to resolve it? I was really looking forward to the Note 4, but if this is the kind of thing I can expect from Samsung I'll end up going else where with my money.

The problem can be from the mobile network or from your phone.
But it sounds most likely the problem is from the mobile network.
Put your SIM card into another phone for a few days to see if any problem.
