hey there.
i do have a strange prob after the regular update (phone tells me, there is an update available... clicking YES i WANT it... downloading, restart, etc.) of my sapphire:
if i want to call someone i just get a busy sound (beep beep beep... so on. u know ). it doesnt matter what number i call or what programm i use for it.
i can recieve calls like before, no prob there.
the same with SMS sending: doesnt matter what program i use (handcent, build in): after clicking the send button it takes a while and i get the message: sending not possible.
recieving SMS works fine.
i DO have a good cell connection and i CAN use 2G or 3G internet browsing. WLAN works, etc.
everything is working like before.
Anyone experienced similar "behavior"?
Any ideas, what that can be?
If there is nothing coming up here i think a wipe and reinstall is the best try?!
thx a lot.

SOLUTION...
In a German Forum (http://www.android-hilfe.de/vodafone-htc-magic-forum/8772-kann-keine-sms-mehr-schicken.html) i found some useful hints.
My solution was:
putting another SIM card (mine was SIMYO (german), change card was debitel (german)) in the phone. with this card everything worked fine.
so i put my card back in... and: voila! it worked as well.
VERY STRANGE.
dont even now if my action was part of the solution, but it works now.
no restart, etc. helped before.

Are you using google voice as your default dialer? If so, toggle or disable and try again.
Problem back
Hi again,
mysteriously the problem came back, and today i cant fone or send sms again.
the only "work around" solution at the moment is using APNdroid to kill the internet connection, and then the fon will work again.
but this is really annoying....
any ideas?
btw: i´m not usin google voice at all (i think)
using starcontact or the "standard" dialer that comes with android....

Hi all
I am having a problem lately in making/receiving calls. The only easy the problem is solved is by using the band GSM 900. If the band selection option is set to determine automatically then I face the problems although the network is full.
The band selection is changed using *#2263#.
Note that the phone was working fine with the default band settings until one day I lost my emi and then had the samsung service centre restore it.
Have been having toys problem since then.
Any solutions?
Sent from my GT-I5801 using XDA App
i have a very similar problem. my issue also started a few days ago. only, i haven't tried using that frequency band that you mentioned. the thread that i started here didn't get too many replies, but i googled stuff and i found out that the issue is with the data connection.
try disabling the data network mode whenever you're not doing it. that has solved the problem with me so far. but, if you do find a way where you can use the data network mode and make calls easily, let me know also please.
thanks.
EDIT : i think you mean IMEI. and i didn't lose it. how did you manage to lose yours? i thought flashing was safe. which version of what ROM are you using now? and which were you using before?
Yes IMEI was what i meant. Did something stupid to loose my IMEI. And yes flashing is quite safe and does not touch your IMEI.
Was using DDJP2 when this issue started. And have flashed many roms but the issue still remains.
And i dont use any data network so my data network mode is also in disconnected mode.
And to further describe my problem.. when i make a call to a nokia phone the call almost gets connected and the nokia phone also gets lighted on with the small lock sign coming up... but the call does not connect completely ....
The only solution i could find (after weeks of digging) is to default the band selection to GSM 900... but i am sure that there should be a better solution for this.
I was using using eclair when my issue started. then i upgraded to froyo DDJP2 and my issue went away :/
but it has started again off late, no matter which ROM i use. I tried doing what you suggested, that is to set the default band to GSM 900. but that only for incoming calls. as in, i can receive all calls properly but my outgoing is still faulty. it just dials and then the "call ended" screen comes with the dial and message buttons. and when the data network mode is activated (it is by default. are you sure yours is switched off?) for me, my calls barely ever go through. there is a significant improvement when it is deactivated.
I'm looking for a better way out too.. I'll let you know if someone helps me out either. Good to know i'm not the only one here who has the issue.
Yes am sure.. the network data mode is always deactivated for me here.
Yes hopefully we can get some better solution here.
I lost my IMEI..samsung repaired my imei...nut im not getting calls or sms....even out going calls also.........plss help mee
i am havin a similar problem , sometimes (a lot ot times) people call me and my phone seems to be closed to them , but it works normally :S , that problem started when i flashed the phone and it remained after i flashed a lot of roms (even after factory reset) , and i cant understand if its a software issue or a device problem..
i would appreciate any help
and now i'm facing the issue even when the 900 band is selected (but data network mode is activated, which i don't want to disable because of whatsapp and ebuddy and gmail and tTorrent)
wondering if any recognized developer could help us out with this problem..
I installing CM7.2 and SMS no longer works.
I have tried,
installing new SMS program.
Going threw settings but cant see anything out of the ordinary.
Changing the SMSC to the one for my carrier both in normal format and in PDU format
rebooting after every change
going on telstra website and asking to be sent the settings
Oh re changing the settings in baseband switcher
Nothing works, Is it as simple as something is disabled?
I wish I could find a rom that would work without crashing or things not working!
I had problem connecting to Telstra 3G (see: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1634366#). But works fine on 2G. Is this similar to you?
connects to 3g fine. Just wont send SMS messages. It hasnt sent one all day but I made plenty of calls and been on the net. Whiterabbit I had a little trouble with network not connecting when I disable juice defender but could call and send SMS.
Looks like its back to ICS again! I dont use the camera at all so thats the only problem I come across.
ok wont work on CM9 as well what the hell is going on? the SMSC is right so it cant be that!
Maybe telstra SMS service is down?
Ok put my sim card into my old sony ericsson cedar and it wont send.
Should of done that first now I flashed a ROM for no reason

：D Very good
Ok I rang telstra and they reset the account all is working again. The service people dont have a clue. They didnt even know how to get into change the SMSC number, Lucky I did if I didnt there would be no way I would find it. It was right anyway and they gave me the +61 number that doesnt work on androids lol no clue at all.
Now I have reinstalled CM7.2 again! telstra are a pain in the arse.
whenever my data connection is on my number becomes unreachable on my Galaxy y till its enabled
on disabling it becomes available again
however i can still call without any problem anytime
i have IDEA connection
on costumer support they said to change some option about data/call priority ( they didnt know its exact menu path just said somthing similar must be there ) but its not there in any of settings
Anyone having any idea how to correct the problem
Are you on stock ya custom Rom???

Goodmorning to all,
I am Loris from Italy writing: I am new here and I am not sure I am doing right so, if I am wrong writing something, please tell.
After this I can tell you my problem: I bought a SM-G906K, Samsung Galaxy S6 Prime from Korea as you know, and I soon had problems while calling: if I am calling or receiving a call, sometimes soon, sometimes after some seconds, sometimes after some minutes, or sometimes it does not happen, I can not see anymore person speking on the other phone, but note: they can hear me.
I already try to call even with Skype, and it seams there is no problem: audio is ok even while reproducing video and so on. I tried making calls in emergency mode too, just to understand if some app could be bad, but I have the same problem, always and ony with calls.
What could I do? Please help me, if it is possible.
I am using a 4G Vodafone MICRO SIM card.
Best regards
Loris

Put your sim card into another phone and test to see if the problem persists?
That maybe the problem of the network, not your phone.

Goodmorning and many thanks for your answer: I already did that, I already changed 3 sim card too, but the problem is going on: with my old SIII all the sims are working as well. Maybe could something work wrong between network and the phone connectivity? From Korea they told me there would not be any problems at all ... but I am seeing it is not like that.
Anyway sometimes I can do calls of 5/10 minutes without problems...so it is strange it is a network issue, is not it?

I said that may be a network problem. As you have tested with another phone without problem, I doubt that is the problem with your phone.
Try to factory reset to see if it helps? If not, it maybe a hardware fault.

I meant maybe problem between this Korean device and Italian network: could not it be? Have anyone had any experience about this?
I already tried to factory reset by Kies many times but it does not help, and I noted that updates remained on firmware, they were not brought at factory state. If it is a hardware fault I think I'd have this problem with Skype calls too or other programs, is not it? Luckly, or not, this is the only situation I can not hear from the other line ... I really do not know what to do ...
Could it be it is the mark Olleh giving problems? Maybe using a G906 not K (I think this is properly for Prime Special Edition) but S it could work good: don't you think so? K and S are the same, is not it?

Call your WIFI provider and ask them to change the channel. Mine was set on AUTO and calls were delayed up to 4 hrs. When they changed the channel (to 11) my phone worked as it should. May not be your problem but something to try.

Could it be the solution changing the CSC? Maybe deleting KTC and using another key it could work ... any idea?

As the problem happens randomly, I can not tell exactly what may cause the issue.
Changing the CSC or flashing another firmware is a good idea to eliminate all software-related issues.
If you want to change the CSC, install Phone INFO ★Samsung★ app > Menu > Other Tools > CSC Changer.
(Note: That feature requires root to work).

Goodmorning, ok many thanks ... now I have to understand the way to do those two passages just to try, but first of all one question: doing this what about warranty? The smartphone is only 2 weeks old so, if I am losing warranty, as first I am trying changing it I think ... let me know ...

Flashing the stock firmware and changing the CSC will not trip the Knox.
However, changing the CSC may need root to work. If it requires root, make sure to use a root method that does not trip the Knox.

Calls went to VM, the phone never rang. I wouldn't receive the VM for up to 4 hours later. Messages were delayed, I did not receive the message for 30 minutes from the time the person sent it to me until it finally showed I had a message.
I know it sounds crazy that the WIFI could cause a problem but it did.
Turning off WIFI on my phone did not solve the problem.
When I powered off the router/modem in my home my phone starting working correctly.
Something to try, hope it helps.

Galaxy S5 G906K
Hi,I have exactly the same problem and I can not use the mobile because of this.I leave in Cyprus and I can not hear the person who I try to speak with,sometimes in the middle of conversation,sometimes from the begining or I can speak 5 minutes without any problem.Seems like we have to make some setting for Europe inside in the phone with ☆#0011# and the phone to be rooted first?
This is a problem,if we rooting the phones we losing the warranty but it looks like is no other possibility to escape of our issue.How else?
Galaxy S5 G906K network incompatibilitty
Well,we found out what the problem is with hearing issue while calling.Is comming from the incompatibilitty of the phone hardware network and each country networks providers.Let me explain:Galaxy G906K Lte has only 3G and Lte(4G)networks build inside.So,if you are living in a country who doesn't have 4G install yet or not all over and instead have 2G and 3G only,and this 3G it does not cover all the areas,then when are you not in the 3G antenna area you"ll gonna lose the reception because this type it does not have 2G old GSM network build inside.That means we can not use it in 2G base network countrys.I hope I helped anyone who have this type of galaxy mobile phones.
Unfortunately I have understood you explanation, but before buying it I clearly asked to the seller and they made me sure the device would have worked as well: who told you such this explanation? What site did you buy the S5 from?
Many thank
Loris
Get this
Who told me this?Nobody, is very simple:go on Settings>More networks>Mobile networks>Network setting>RAT mode setting and you will see there Ltd network and 3G network,NO GSM network(2G).So,all the mobiles from Korea are for Korea and other country's which have 3G or Lte(4G)networks.For example Korea have ONLY Lte network. That's why is for Korea and this phone was named Galaxy S5 Lte-A. You must ask refund!
