Very strange phone FC problem - Galaxy Tab General

Hello people,
I have a very weird issue with the phone on my Galaxy Tab...
There's one particular number (one of my other ones) that causes the phone to throw an FC on my Tab on incoming or outgoing calls (to and from that number only!!)
I've tried 3 different ROMs and I've tried making and receiving calls to and from other numbers on the three different operators here and that particular number is the ONLY one that causes the phone to crash! I've also tried landlines and they work fine.
Now I clearly don't need to call myself so this issue isn't exactly killing me but I'm very curious as to why this is happening.
Any thoughts?

you mentioned that stock rom works with this number. Is this still true? Or does it fc with stock rom? Anything special about this number. Restricted or anything?
Just clarifying to see if its operator fault or tab's fault.

Nothing special about the number at all.
I haven't tried it with Stock ROM since I discovered it was a problem with this specific number. I have tried it with Overcome 1.4.4 and Overcome 1.5 Beta (which have different bases so can be considered as different ROMs in a way)

Galaxy S2 Problems on Rogers Network - Canada

1. MMS stops working by itself, after factory reset starts working again. No settings are being changed.
2. Bluetooth connection to my car Audi Handfree is very unreliable and causes network connection to stall, no data and calls go straigh to voicemail.
3. Call waiting stoped working. Everytime i get a second call my primary call mutes and I can't hear the other person and they can't hear me. By switching back and forth between callers I am able to hear first caller again.
All of these issues are solved by factory reseting the phone.
Does anyone have a clue why is this happening?
Using latest KE7 software.
I am on rogers and are having no issues with my phone that you are having... Maybe you got a bad phone?
Can you check if your mms messaging work?

On Rogers in Southwestern Ontario. I don't use MMS, so I don't have much experience with that.
I have used by SGS2 with BT Audio and calls on an Alpine KCE-400BT (Parrot unit rebranded as Alpine) and a Sony Xplod unit without any unusual behaviour
Haven't used call waiting other than by accident, no experience there either.
Hi I'm on Rogers is Windsor, I don't use MMS or bluetooth, but I use call waiting very often and not once as it messed up on me.
Anyone using Rogers having problems with digital call display? Whenever someone calls me it comes up as "unknown" but my account has digital call display on it.
I have seen name display work fine on my phone.it's a fantastic feature!

Anyone using Rogers having any data stalling/dropping issues? It seems like every time I go into an area with no signal (subway or elevator for example) it just doesn't seem to connect back onto the network fully. Even though it will say 3G, the data connection is actually dead and I usually have to wait a while or cycle airplane mode to get it back.
I'm using the KE4 radio. If you guys are having no problems, could you tell me which ROM and radio (baseband) you're using? Also, if fast dormancy is enabled or disabled? You can check with dialing *#9900#. Also, which APN you're using for data? Is it the internet.com one or the rogers-core-appl1.apn?
Thanks
I just got a Bell SGS2 yesterday and rooted/unlocked it. I'm having 2 problems to date:
1) GPS cannot fix. I can be in view of 12 satellites, but it just won't fix.
2) My SMS timestamps are screwed up. Every message comes in with a stamp of 4 hours earlier.
Anyone else having these problems?
EDIT: Oddly enough, MMS works AND the timestamp is correct.

Hi guys, how did you get it to unlock to work on rogers? I have tried the free app on the market but that doesn't work out for me.
I have rooted the phone already.
Sorry for hijacking the thread.

Instead of getting the Galaxy S2 unlock app from the market, get the Galaxy_S app. It'll crash the phone at step 2, but it'll be unlocked after it reboots!

I haven't had this problem with my SGS2, but I've had it with previous Android and Windows phones. It is a known bug.
Apparently the problem isn't present when using Handcent SMS (which is really good anyways) or you can use this program designed specifically to fix the problem.

Might be a dumb question, but did you check your APN settings? Maybe they got messed up somehow.

This is why I'm afraid of using anything but the stock Kernel. No problems here on my unlocked stock SG2.

Hey guys,
I just got an unlocked Japanese Galaxy S 2 (brand: NTT Docomo) and cannot get 3G to work on my phone. I am with Rogers.
I've tried enabling bands using the USSD codes but have had no luck.

NTT works on completely different frequencies....there is no way it'd work here. If you want a phone that'd work in Japan then you'd need to buy one here and get a Softbank SIM card while in Japan.

I use sipdroid and have not had any issues since upgrading to JB. If you look at customer comments on playstore, some are reporting problems when running JB.
Thanks.
But does Sipdroid support Lowrate voip accounts?

I'm not familiar with this particular VOIP service so I can't say. They do provide sip settings here http://www.lowratevoip.com/sip . You could try setting up sipdroid with those settings. You could also contact their customer service since their app is known to have issues with JB, maybe they can help you. Good luck.
MagicJack works great on my GT-N8013 with JB 4.1.2

I looked in one of the voip foruns that I read for info. Apparently, you can configure ATAs to use this service as well as other software, but you'll pay a higher rate. Their lower rate only applies to their app. I'd suggest that you try to contact their support staff. Issues with Jellybean have been reported on their Playstore page so maybe they can provide a solution. Here's the thread discussing their rates. http://forum.voxilla.com/threads/lowratevoip.14831/
Both grove ip and talkatone lock mine up. You have to use them twice in a row for it to happen
I had it installed on my SII running 4.1.2, and no issues at all.
However, I un installed mobile VOIP.
But today I got one hang up of the tablet.
Really I'm in love with this Firmware , and don't want to downgrade to LK8

Using the MagicJack app and it works *better* on 4.1.2 than it did on 4.0.4 or 4.1.1
Also having problems with GrooVe IP on 4.1.2:
When I placed a call: When the call connects, no one can hear me and I can't hear them. When I exit the app, the tablet can freeze and I have to reboot. When it didn't freeze, my microphone was screwed up and I had to reboot.
When someone called me: it didn't realize the phone was ringing.
I'm using a google voice number.

I just tried an app called Spare Phone. Same problems as with Groove IP.
I then installed the free Magic Jack app. I was able to make phone calls, but since it doesn't go through google voice, I couldn't receive them on my phone number.
Maybe it's a google voice problem?
Ooma HD and AT&T Call International both work...

It could be voice. It worked beautifully on 4.1.1 ... makes me sad in the pants. I love tapatalk. Ill try to uninstall and reinstall google voice with all new data and see if that helps
Update: well, no dice even with a new attached phone number and all new data with a fresh install. Even as we speak my heart is broken
I wrote to the Groove IP guys about the problem. This was my response:
"We don't have a Note 10.1, but we have tested with android 4.1.2. It sounds like something on the device isn't following the published android sdk. That's generally an issue in the rom, but sometimes we can work around those. It's possible the audio driver changed and maybe some different settings are required in the app. The best ones to start with would be Keep Screen Alive, Synchronize Voice, changing the mic buffer size, changing the mic source, or enabling WiFi tablet. I'd try those settings independently. Another thing to make sure would be the android advanced wifi settings. Make sure wifi optimization is off. And set wifi to stay connected always."
This is my first tablet and I know very little about Android. Does anyone think it's a ROM problem or could you suggest something for me to change?
All my other apps work fine. Until I run Groove IP, both my mic and speakers work fine; tablet does not hang or freeze. Before I upgraded I was on the samsung standard ROM using all default options/settings. My tablet worked great right out of the box. I just upgraded OTA when I was notified by samsung. With my first Groove IP problem, I uninstalled the app, rebooted the tablet and re-installed the app. No change. Still doesn't work.

I love that app but it's running the same for me. Still need to FC it and its battery sucking capabilities remain the same. Hoping for an update!

The SGS3 and N2 are running the same SoC as the Note 10.1. I'd imagine Samsung reuses s/w components so that their common to more than one device. There are ten times more TW-equipped devices in the wild than AOSP. If Groove IP’s idea of testing is to throw it on AOSP and call it good they need to rethink their testing procedures. And you'd think if Samsung was using some drastically altered Wi-Fi stack that all VoIP apps would be affected, not just those we mentioned. So either there's something unique about the apps that don't work or the vendors of apps that do work are more diligent in their programming and testing to make sure their compatible with popular devices.

Yeah! Magic Jack worked fine for making calls. It didn't screw up my microphone, the audio was also fine and my tablet didn't freeze. I just couldn't receive calls because it doesn't work with a Google Voice phone number.
After I use Groove IP, the system standard voice input method (dictation) doesn't work. When I tap the mic, a voice says "I didn't get that" without even giving me a chance to say anything.
Here's my latest response from the Groove IP guys:
"We are quite interested in trying to resolve the issue. If it's something we can work around we will do that. As I mentioned currently we don't have a Note 10.1 but we are looking at buying one. Until then if none of the suggestions worked I can give you a version with logging. Unfortunately to get the logs you'll need a PC with the android sdk. Logcat isn't available from the device itself any longer with jelly bean."
I can't help with the log thing. I'm old now. and I decided not to get another PC because the Note does everything I need. I posted this here in case anyone with an android SDK (or doesn't mind install one) is interested in helping them. Regardless, sounds like they'll be getting a Note and hopefully the app will get fixed in a few months.
Anyway, if you're having problems, you may want to let them know. The app may get fixed faster if more people send them an e-mail. You can send a message with your problems to [email protected].

[Q] HELP - Nexus 4 call log issue with international calling card

So bought a Nexus 4. And I am so upset with one major issue with this phone: it's inability to properly record calling card numbers. I dial internationally a lot, and my phone company provided me with an access number. So all my outbound calls look something like this: 1 800 xxx xxxx , 011 xx xxx xxx xxxxx #
Now, if I dial ten different numbers (already stored in my contacts), the call log or history shows only the access number (the 1 800 number) ten times!!! I have tried this on a Samsung Galaxy S3, on a Samsung Galaxy Blaze, and they all have this problem. I also have an HTC One S, and some old HTC MyTouch and they DO NOT have this problem! An older LG Optimus T HAS this issue. What the heck?!?!
I have tried multiple dialers, and none can handle this properly. I have researched forums as much as I could, and it seems that this is a somewhat common issue with Google Voice calls... I have reached to Google and this is what they said:
"I understand you are having an issue using a calling card for international calls and not having them present in your call log. As of right now there is no current workaround for that and I apologize for the inconvenience. We frequently share customer feedback with our development team and will be sure to pass along your input."
and when I asked if this will ever be fixed:
"It is a known issue and there a solution to the problem is currently being worked on. Unfortunately I do not know when a solution will be available so I can't advise you whether it would be a good idea to return the device or not. If I can assist you further please let me know. Once again sorry for the inconvenience."
I fail to understand how this MAJOR FLAW can exist in the phone that promises to put "the world’s information at my fingertips", and yet, it cannot perform something as basic as remembering the very international calls it made...
Is there something I can do? Install? Am I stuck with HTC? Should I thus take a leap of faith and keep the Nexus 4 hoping for a fix to this problem?

Tab 4 and standard calls.

Has anyone discovered a way to unlock the calling feature on the SG Tab 4 line of products yet?

Sounds like you found the magic answer, however, your SIM card may only be provisioned for data only. Take the SIM out of your phone and try it.
Im going to try swapping my wife's sim with mine. If that doesn't work I think i'm going to just leave this one alone for the time being.

in looking at the user manuals it appears the T337T does not have an additional microphone (for speaking into as in a phone call) unlike the T335 which does. This indicates to me that the T337t could not be used as a phone even if someone managed to get the phone app, modem etc all to work together (unless microphone arrangements were changed and even at that would not be worth the trouble-unlikely it would work well-as the folks using CM/AOSP on such tablet phone devices-no solution for echo issue due to speaker/microphone config)

[TUTORIAL]Workaround for TMO customers to get Wifi Calling on any rom.[TUTORIAL]

Hello XDAers,
As we all know, most ported roms for our lovely Note 4 does not feature Wifi Calling. As of May 31, 2017, TMobile released an app called Digits out of beta. As of this posting, it is free for all TMobile customers. This app will allow you to receive phone calls on just about any device. Install it on your device that has the custom rom and connect to wifi. :The two caveats are:
1. You have to use Digits to make and receive the wifi calls. (you can unregister/register it through the app once you've finished making or receiving wifi calls)
2. It's has the potential to be a battery hog if left running(at least from the reviews I read. Haven't had time to confirm.). I'm pretty sure people have thought of this already. This is for the people who may not have.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tmobile.digits&hl=en
I'm using Greenify in conjunction with it to try and tame it.
Thanks for your time. Please hit the thanks button if you found this helpful.:good:
My only problem is you need a T-Mobile log in. I pay Simple Mobile using the T-Mobile network, If I flash a stock T-Mobile rom, I have WiFi calling. But who wants to use a stock rom??
Sent from my SM-N910P using XDA-Developers Legacy app
I'm running digits successfully with a couple different custom roms (both of the N7 / C9 port variety). Apocalypse-X (v7) and - darn it - can't remember the other one. Oh, Batman. Same developer @star53 on those. But I suspect it will work w/ many of these roms, esp. ones that were for Samsung phones (even though they're now ported to a different phone). Try it. Oh, and do make sure to go to settings and select wifi rather than all over data. What makes this nice is that the ported roms don't have native wifi calling support enabled. Digits should allow that.
