Flight Mode doesn´t deactivate phone - Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus General

When changing to Flight Mode the phone normaly should cut all data communication and switch off the phone hardware. In about 1 out of 5 cases this is not working properly. In fact I still receive calls even though the phone shows no connection. Yesterday I was sitting in a plane close to landing when my phone suddenly received an SMS. Not really funny ...
My observation is that the problem somehow seems to be related to 3G communication, i.e. if it is actively transfering data Flight Mode does not properly switch offline. If the problem is pending it is also not possible to switch off the flight mode. A soft reset is necessary to reactivate the phone.
Are there others having the same problem?
Any idea how to correct?

nope my one works fine just turned it on and tryed phoning it and it said switched off my answer to everything is hard reset

I should say that I cannot initiat a phone call when I've switched to Flight Mode but I still can receive them (as said in about 1 of 5 cases). And of course a hard reset is exactly what I try to avoid.

i phoned my nike with my house phone and it was turned off

Phone dead?!

My MDA Vario's phone seemed to be dead because when I tried to call, it would just display 'dialing' for a bit and then disconenct (never connects or rings), and when I tried to call my number it went straight to voicemail, although the antenna indicator showed that I had a few bars of network. I soft reset and it's fine now. Any idea what may have caused it? I'd like to avoid this happening in the future as I have no way of knowing that it's like that unless I try calling and it doesn't work.

Real problem..

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.

Post Nodo Wifi/Bluetooth issues

Has anyone else had issues post Nodo with there focus where it won't detect Wifi or Bluetooth won't turn on? I've had it twice randomly now shut off my wireless stuff, and when I went to connect back, it couldn't find any wifi signals even standing a foot away from my router. Normally a reboot worked. Today though, I haven't been able to get my bluetooth to turn on. I never turned it off. It slide it over, it thinks, and goes back to off. I've rebooted it, pulled the battery and now thinking about hard reseting it to see if that will work.
Thoughts anyone?
I've been trying all night to get either to work. I got the bluetooth to work for a few by turning on airplane mode and then turning bluetooth on. But Wireless still didn't work. I've gone back and forth with this all evening and finally gave up and hard reset the phone. Neither option still works. Guess i'm going to see if I can role back to the pre-nodo and see if it works then.
I've now backed my phone to the pre-nodo and even factory reset it. Nothing works. I called ATT today and spoke to the warranty department. They can replace it, but not before I leave back to the lower 48. They did say they have had several calls now on the bluetooth and wireless failing to work so maybe there is a problem happening now that's starting to grow?

Did you ever get your phone replaced? Did it solve the bluetooth issue? I cannot get my bluetooth to work after the first phone call made with it. It in fact disables the "phone" on my handset. I can make and receive calls but there is no audio on either end, on either device [phone or headset]. I have to soft reset to fix.
I hard reset just today and got nothing but a wiped device. No resolution to bt issue... next step is replacing...
What happened with yours?

I experienced this only one time, but a quick off and on fixed it. The other party could hear me though.
I also had troubles with WiFi network connectivity with my Focus but that seemed to just be a passing phase (Strange I know right?).

Network problem with j5 2017

Hi
I'm writing here because I have tried all the stuff around the Web about this problem and nothing works ;/
So about the problem, the phone started to show "only emergency calls". The weird thing is that even on emergency calls mobile data is working without any problems.
What I tried:
1. Selecting automatic carrier selection and selecting it manually.
2. Factory reset.
3. Other Sim.
4. 2nd sim slot.
What helps, unfortunately temporally, sometimes for couple of hours and sometimes for 2 minutes. Turning on and off Airplane mode.
I'll try to go to Samsung and ask around for a warranty os upload or something but for now if you got any other ideas I would really like to try them and maybe fix my wife phone.

LTE problem after factory reset

Hi everyone,
I have a problem with my S10+. One day, my cellphone didn't work suddenly, at that time I was in the basement of a building.
I have a habit of using my cellphone as a road guide through the map, pasting it on the dashboard of my car, where the tool to attach it is right on the car's AC cavity.Maybe because it's too cold, it suddenly doesn't work, and indeed my cell phone feels very cold and immediately OFF.
I tried to revive, but immediately OFF again, even though it has finished booting. Until I have to go into Recovery Mode and I turn it back on. After a few times such conditions, finally my cell phone can turn on, but the LTE signal does not appear, and sometimes appears but the connection is still very slow.
I try to bring it to the Samsung service center, but only do a Factory Reset. But that problem still occurs until now, and finally I just use Wifi only for its connectivity, But if 2G can still be done.
Do you think anyone can help me with this problem? So that my 4G can be back to normal? I've tried using another SIM card to this phone, it's still like that.
Hopely anyone can help me up
Anyone can help
