G4 Wizard - No Signal

I have a G4 T-mobile Vario (Wizard) that doesn't want to perform any of its "phone" functions. i.e. no calls in/out or text messages etc. The phone itself is on and is showing a full signal but when you try make a call it will start dialing and almost instantaneously hang up again, occasionally with some beeps to imply the call has failed. Has anybody come across anything similar? As far as I know the unit hasn't taken any knocks and all other functions are working okay.
Any help would be appreciated
*Update* Even the GPRS works! I don't understand!

similar problem
im almost having the same problem, mine goes from full bars to zero and back again while the cpu stays at 100% with no signal, yet somehow i can still get edge and connect to the net?

Have you tried flashing to a later radio version, like 2.71? It may solve your problems

ive tried 4 different radio versions.. it seems to me that the software that runs (service?) on the phone at startup that enables it to make voice calls keeps crashing and restarting and ive tried this on 5 different roms too and same result, it usually takes 5 - 10 soft resets, but it pops up and sometimes keeps crashing indefinitely and sometimes it eventually connects.. any ideas?

phone is blacklisted. imei banned

imei blacklisted?
Hi,
I am having the same problem as the first poster of this thread.
My phone is a T-Mobile Vario
SPL 2.021.0001
IPL 2.021.0001
Radio 02.19.11
Protocol version 4.1.13.09
Rom version 2.21.2.6 WWE
Rom Date 3/9/06
Basically, I have what appears to be full signal strength. I make a phone call and it says "dialing" then immediately says "Call Ended" with a 00.00 time for the call.
If the imei is blacklisted is there any way I can get it un-listed?
Or is there some other fix I can use to get it working?
Regards,
John

What is a Blacklistet IMEI? Is it a stolen Device?

G4 with no phone ability
Hi,
Still have the problem posted in my earlier post.
I have tried to contact T-Mobile here in the UK using the "contact us" page, rang the numbers - nothing!!! Their phone system does not work.
They have a phone number listed where you supposedly can register your phone as lost or stolen so they can blacklist it, but the phone number does not work! If you are on T-Mobile you supposedly can phone them using 150 but that doesn't work either! So I can't phone them to ask if my imei number is on their list and if so how I go about getting it removed.
(I bought the phone off e-bay last week, and guess what? The seller hasn't responded to my e-mails asking if he ever made any phone calls using this phone!)
So at present I have a semi BRICK, the PDA part works perfectly well, just the problem with the phone bit.
If anybody has any ideas about what I could / should do next regarding the phone, I would like to hear them!
Regards,
John

Have you tried flashing to a new ROM? Its unlikely that it will work, but perhaps it will solve your problem.

Missing calls with official 2.3.5

Hello everyone;
I flashed the latest official 2.3.5 last night. Missed three calls afterwards, as if I was not connected to GSM network. I was at home and signal was stable as usual. Anyone else noted unusual GSM behaviour?
Cheers
----------------------------------------
UPDATE: In order to better understand this issue, it could be interesting to know which service providers are being used; in my case, TMN in Portugal.
One week before flashing this ROM, I started using 3G, so I'm not sure if these missing calls are as result of the ROM change. I'm going to switch back to 2G for daily use and see how it goes.

Yes, if you search you will find other users with the same problem.
happens also with the other beta roms.
Sent from my U8800 using XDA App

It happens to me too unfortunately.. can't tell the reason why. GSM status seems ok.

I confirm this missing call issue.
People when ring me the first time they go straight to voicemail and only get connection on second try.
I think the only way to solve it is Huawei but there is not point of trying to speak to them and they just won't listen for what people say to them.

I can confirm this is happening to me too....after reporting all was well this was one of the things I didn't test out.
Weird thing is that I called my mobile from home and both went straight to voicemail...

yep.
but if you immediatly make a 2nd attempt you get connection

OK try this...
Turn off phone... re move battery and sim card.
Replace battery and start phone without sim card and boot up.
Unlock phone and open any app (doesn't matter just do something)
Turn off, remove battery, replace sim.... boot up again.
Just called from my wifes mobile phone and my phone rang OK.... will test further but that seems to have done the trick for now.

I got the same problem and so far nothing i did solve it... Just missing reinstall the rom again and see if wasnt any bug i got while installing... I don't see too many ppl with the same problem and i don't belive huawei had so many diferent hardwares in a single mobile phone model according with all the different ppl have with different phones.

I also have this problem with the new firmware. My phone doesn't connect to the network upon powering on.
I have to manually connect it, by going into the Mobile networks settings. Once i'm in that menu, it connects.

druida_69,
I can confirm that does not happens every time, I tested from other phone I only on the sixth call I got the ring... Worst, during this time I made a call without problems.
The question is on reception...
Sent from my U8800 using XDA App

this issue is killing me.
when I have the device disconnected or in a cal, when someone try to ring me and can't I always receive a message informing that the xxxx number tried to ring you at that time bla bla bla.

no calls
The same thing happened to me... also tried many things without success... downgraded to 2.2.2 (B138) problem solved...
I'm getting tired of huawei's poor support and buggy updates!!!

To be honest i don't know if this start to happen after or before installing geno‘s OC Kernel.
I can confirm that this happens when the phone stays for a long time inactive. Try not playing with you're phone gore 20 minutes or so and then try to ring youselves.
Its like if the phone entering in a zen deep sleep....

Same here
Started after updating to 2.3.5, anyone tried the updated 2.3.5 from Huawei? it removes the pink screen I heard, but maybe it fixes this issue

F****** Huawei. Just realised that I have this bug too with latest 2.3.5 release... I think that it's data dependent. If you turn them off it connects ok...

I didn't realize until I read this thread, but I have the same problem!
I'm over it, I'm going back to Oxygen until I can buy a new phone, and will probably never buy huawei again.

I had this problem initially but since I booted up without sim card and boot up again with it in hasn't been a problem...I've had to test this on a few different phones & reboots now and everything is fine....

[Q] Moto Defy voice call/data usage freeze problem

hiya...
i'm posting this thread because i've been struggling to get some help with this issue. i.ve googled for any fix but didnot find one...
motodefy on CM7
just unlocked my motodefy which was locked on orange before(unlockcode used),
i am now using a 3uk sim... 3uk settings is there in the APN
problems:
1.hangs when i am in the middle of a call ( cant here anything/cant do any call/ and cant receive any call) handset does not hang coz am able to move between menus, open and use apps)
2.after it hangs i cannot use data I.e download, google store coz that one freeze as well.
3. sometimes when its hangs, i cannot end the call (like if the dialer hangs is frozen, i press the end call button, it says hanging and it stays like that, but sometime it hangs the call !
4. the signal icon and the 3g/H icon is on the status bar, but they dont react.
5. i reboot everytime i have this issue... someime comes back online very nicely( with signal/3G/H icon showing on the statusbar) and some time it doesnt (meaning the signal is there but not the 3G/H) ... when it does come back online nicely ... i start to use some data... example i am using google play, it will let me download some apps .. but eventually it will stop working in the next 5 mins ??? and after this again i will not b able to call blablabla ... same stuff as above ...
ANYONE, OTHER THAN ME EVER HAD THIS WEIRD ISSUE WITH THEIR DEFY BEFORE ??

Try wiping all data/cache in recovery
hi,
why dont you try wiping away all you data from the recovery mode and then reboot it once again.
Thanks

oh.. u know i like changing/trying roms ...eventually at first when i had this issue i did a factory reset/wipe from the recovery and installed the cm7 again but its a persisting issue ... i just took to 3uk shop .. they told me they cant do anything coz its not a 3 handset their customer service was not able to help me either ... i am really really desperate to get it fixed ....

No problem if i use an orange sim
i would like to point out that i do not have any problem when i am using an orange sim in my defy ... callss/txt .. unfortunately no credit to try data but i can surf a bit of orange pages without any trouble ... why is it like that with 3uk

I don't know the reason, but sometimes I had this type of problem with my Defy (green lenses) and CM7. After a hardware issue I take it to the service and they replace the whole main body. So now it has red lenses and I switch to a CM9 nightly ROM (CM9-NIGHTLY-120613-Defy+ from Eclypse3). Don't know why, but my problems with the calls hangups and connectivity solved.

Thank you for your help everyone ....although i am in uk am able to use the Vecton sim with USA baseband its on trial for the moment .. we'll see if theres a glitch i'll keep updating

Questions go in the Q&A section

Issues sorted..
Ragarding to my post above ... i managed to work aroung this issue ....
just have to set scaling to Conservative and enebling all modules in cpu settings in revovery...
Can be closed now Thanks

Trouble with phonecalls

Im in Norway with Telenor subscription. When my Edge+ is LTE/3G/2G (auto connect) Im experiencing several issues:
1. During phonecalls:
- Several times during a call, I can hear the other party, but they can not hear me for several seconds
- The sound become "static", and the phonecall ends.
2. During browsing:
- Page never loads
I cant find any system in these problems, they can happen in places with good reception, or it can be during driving (handsfree).
But all these issues disappear if I set the phone in 2G only, then everything is working perfectly.
What I've tried:
- Reset APN
- Enter APN manually
Any suggestions?

I'm in Norway too but with NetCom. I've used my wife's Telenor SIM card in my Edge+ a few times, not really noticed any difference except for slightly worse sound during calls. Har du ringt Telenor?

I have the same problem. Are you rooted by any chance and have recently installed viper4android?

No, Im not rooted, and running stock firmware. Ive not installed viper4android. The problem has been there from day one

Hmm... I'm rooted and have Viper. Are you locked to Telenor? If not, try and loan a Netcom/Djuice/Chess/whatever SIM card and test - at least then you should definitely know if it's a device problem or a Telenor problem.
What's your signal strength (Settings>About phone>SIM card status)?

I'm not locked, so I will try a simcard from a different operator. When I have auto connect (LTE, 3g 2g) its constantly shifting between H and H+.
Where I'm now, the signal strengt is stable on -51 dBm 31 asu (Mobile network type EDGE).
Switching to (LTE, 3G, 2G) its -65 dBm 24 asu (Mobile network type LTE)

I can confirm having the same issue #2 as OP in Sweden with Halebop as my carrier, but I only got it once and since then there has been several security updates so I though this issue was one of the things fixed (thanks Samsung for not supplying a proper changelog)

I've just tried with two Telenor SIM cards from my wife and son - both work fine. I'd contact Telenor again and ask for real help... Their customer service is dreadful, that's why I switched to NetCom. Lykke til?

I have this problem a few days:
1. During phonecalls:
- Several times during a call, I can hear the other party, but they can not hear me for several seconds
- The sound become "static", and the phonecall ends.

And that days i try everything (restart, everything reset, change network modes, remove/return sim card ets). Only calls perfect works in forced 2G mode these days.
Problem solved a few days later by itself.
My phone is rooted, and i have custom kernel.
Country: Serbia, Network: MTS

Hey guys!

I sometimes have the same problem. Called my service provider (Telenor) today. They are going to send me a new SIM-car, going to se if thats help, and Im going to test with anoter service providers SIM-card

Got the new SIM-card last week.. Same problem, people people can't hear me for 3-10 seconds several times during a phonecall. And data seems to "hang" from time to time. Tried a full factory reset this weekend, so are going to test more next week. And then try a Netcom SIM-card

Just to recap
I returned the phone, and I just got an email from the repairs workshop saying it was a warranty. I dont know if I get a new phone, or if they have repaired the old one.
update: got an email from repairs workshop. They did a network calibration and "reinstalled software". After that they tested the phone OK. I think I will get the phone this week.

I have same problem now, only work on 2g. When on 3g phonecalls hanging all the time.

Same problem here.
In general, the problem is not with the sim card neither phone hardware. The problem usually is with any app that we have installed. To ensure this, switch on the phone in SAFE MODE ( safe mode temporally turns off all user-installed apps). To do that:
1. Switch off the phone
2. Wait at least 1 minute
3.Press and hold volume down button AND the power button
4.Once screen lights up, you can release power button but you should NOT release the volume down button
5. Hold the volume down button until you get the lock screen
You will notice there is a Safe mode icon in bottom left of the lock screen.
Now try to do some phone calls and accurate if the phone call sound is ok. If so, you must uninstall all your apps and discover which one is making this problem

You are right. In safe mode work normal. Now must check what app make problem.

Are you talking seriously?? First of all, I think that finding out that the problem isn't neither from sim card or hardware, is a great new, and now you are asking which app YOU have installed is the problematic?! Lol ok, I suppose to believe you're naïve and I can help a bit...
It is not necessarily only one or the same app for both. Sometimes can be one in conflict with another also installed, one in conflict with the specific firmware of each one or one of several app's with low maturity (you can check it in Google play). I can give you an idea: for instance, periscope app is very problematic in android. But there are a lot of a lot problematic app's. So, as they are so much, there is only a solution if you don't have an idea: uninstall all of them ( phone hard reset preferably) and after this, install one by one manually (not restore any backup cause the errors come again). After each app installation, make some calls to check any call sound problem. When you notice the problem in call sound, the cause is in the last app that you've installed immediately before this. For next time, check with attention after installing any app if any problem appear and never install several app's in the same time to have time to notice problems in a narrow way...
Anyway, you can write here your conclusions
voilà

Call drop on j500f

Hi everyone! I have a big and an annoying problem with my Samsung Galaxy j5. After a few weeks it keeps to hang up any call randomly. So...it's closing calls after 20 secs, 30 secs, or after a few minutes. Also, sometimes it can't make any call because it isn't ringing to the called contact. It just close the call and return to the dialler. I tried to replace the original rom with lineage os 14.1, rr os 5.0.8. Also I tried to downgrade to stock Lollipop. I start to think that is a hardware problem but I want other answers. I want to use this phone because I haven't much money to spent on mobile devices. By the way, sorry for my bad english. Greetings from Romania!

I have inserted the sim card in two different phone sand the they're working fine. I tried to put in my j5 another sim from an different operator. The problem ia same. What is broken in my phone? Also, in phonebook it's changing the order of names. This happens to two-named persons. (Eg: "Charles Damien" becomes "Damien, Charles)"

So, there's nobody with the same problem like me? I wanna know that it can be fixed.
