My Xperia play is working well on At&t and getting HSPA signal in my location, however, when I tried trading it for a Sensation and placed the other guys TMobile simcard it can not make any phone calls and the signal on the Play keeps dropping. We already did a factory reset and still nothing, up to now I am still trying to find an answer to this and is now posting this for any ideas that other peoply may have, Hope I get someone to give me some answer to my question.

Hi,
Just got the Galaxy S, im on orange and im finding that the phone is going straight to VM even with full signal, this seems to happen about 80% of the time, i get a message straight after saying i have a missed call. It seems to be worse when its in my pocket, i had a similar issue with my nokia 5800 but not as bad, i just thought it was the phone getting old.
I have a new sim but same number etc.
Anyone else having similar issues?
I had the exact same thing on mt old i8910hd on orange.I put it down to the fact the phone had a few knocks but who knows? Hasnt happened once on galaxy s with vodafone
Also on Vodafone, not encountered this problem yet.
You may have to consider that this is a problem with your provider. In the netherlands, tmobile had an issue with this due to an overloaded network. Since you live in london I guess that would be a likely reason (tmobile mainly had issues in crowded areas). My suggestion is to try and disable your 3G connection and see if that makes a difference. Here people couldn't receive calls when their 3G was on but when they turned it off, the problems seemed to disappear.
If this works for you, you may want to contact your operator. The sounds to me like it isn't a device related issue.

Thanks for the reply, stepping down to 2g did seem to help, i have found some other posts on other forums, one forum suggests that orange are aware of the issue, lets just hope they resolve it soon.
I had this problem with orange at least 8 months or so, so i wouldnt hold your breath
I have 2 X10's on my person.
The first being perfect, and does what it should do, minus bluetooth hf car kit...
The second is also new, but a certain network dont want it back, so am eager to say the least to make it work for wifey.
Right, it does this.....
You switch on, it boots up with a sim card, but hangs an X in the signal area... for a while too... Then it finds 3G and works... but it drops to GPRS and even though theres signal, does it hell as like. No calls, texts or data. Then it X's for 2 mins. Finds 3G and works, drops to GPRS and so on...
Lots of spares, but is this a quick fix? I want it to work for the wife see...
sad lol
Have you tried to do a repair using SEUS? Might help sort out the radio issues.
from my experience that is a sim issue, how old is the sim you were using in it, if it is a 2G sim then you will experience the above, try setting it to GSM only to test it. If that is the problem then a simple new sim will fix it. We have it a lot with people who dont upgrade there sim with a new handset.
I'm on my second x10 and its fine. I tried my daughters sim and that did it too. Have also tried reloading firmware too,,, no go.

I had a problem almost similar to this when I just got my X10. What I noticed was the Auto Internet button was grayed out, so I put in my providers internet setting manually. But the signal keeps coming in and out. Then I decided to update the software to UK Generic and after that, I did not encounter this problem anymore. The Auto Internet button was not grayed out anymore after the update to UK Generic R2BA026...
I have an issue with my handset that I've just noticed. When browsing the internet over 3G my data stalls. The browser sits and waits for the connection to change to HSDPA "H". This can take upto 30 seconds. The page then loads and the connection changes back to 3G, starting the whole process again.
I have an unlocked, SIM free handset on Orange UK.
I had this issue on my Hero, and there was a fix issued with the 2.1 update.
Am I alone with this issue?

Got the same issue here, I'm on an 18 month contract but got the handset through Phones4u.
Just trying to find out what the problem is as apparently my APN is fine... gonna try a factory reset and reset my APN and if still having the same problem gonna get onto P4U...
Anyone else got any ideas?

I think this could be an issue with Orange and Froyo - I had the same thing with my hero on Orange. My DHD is on T-mobile and works better - although there is still an issue with t-mob capping HSDPA to 0.35Mbps but thats another story
I hope if it is, they resolve it soon! I know that orange haven't released the DHD themselves yet... but they should be doing it soon and they've got support guides for it online.
I've just switched from T-Mob as I could get more mins on Orange and figured that as they're merging their 3G signal from next year... and I can get Orange Wednesdays easier this way haha.
Just going to do the factory reset now... if that doesn't improve things I'll get onto P4U and Orange...
I don't think it's a carrier problem...
Same issue for me too...
Over the weekend I had no data throughput even though it showed 3G or H. I called Orange and they had an answer machine message saying they were aware of a data issue and were working on it.
It's been better yesterday, but still slightly intermittent.
Good to know that they've shared this with Phones4u haha. They're going to send me a replacement phone... but if it is a known issue I might just hang on save messing around as the handset is otherwise perfect...
I've got the same problem, i'm with Vodafone Australia, seems as though there is a very long pause while the phone switches between 3g and HSDPA and while it's on 3g it does nothing or is very slow. This is seriously annoying and i've been searching for a solution for days. I had come to the conclusion that maybe the HSDPA signal is weak or something and have been searching for a solution to turn HSDPA off as i've had other phones where browsing on 3g only has been sufficiently fast.
any updates on this ? xtommox has the new phone solved it ?
Really hoping I can get some help on this problem; pretty sure I've read everything on the Internet without finding a solution.
I have an unlocked Telus Desire HD running on the Rogers network, everything should be fine there as far as phone and network compatiblilty is concerned. I can get service on Rogers' GSM only Edge network just fine, but when I make the setting for the 3G connection (WCDMA network preferred) I get a connection for about 30 sec. then is disappears and never comes back. As far as I can tell this is a common problem and have found no solution that works for me, bummer. Also, when I am connected to 3G I cannot make or recieve calls or SMS.
My next move is a root, debranding, installing custom ROM and flashing a new radio in hopes that flashing a different radio is the solution. I run CM7 on my Nexus One right now with the same SIM card I tried in the Desire HD on Rogers with no problems.
Any opinion on the chances of this fixing the problem, or should I just sell the device and go with something else?
Thanks,
Hi
I had this sort of problem before. It was just a problem on the Network's side. Not the phone. Call Rogers in your case and ask them about it. If they say its fine then thats the time to start messing about with your phone.
They wouldn't give me a solid response because it's not a device supported by the carrier; went to Telus and they wouldn't help me out with anything because evem though it's a Telus branded device, I'm on the Rogers network.
They are all no help at all. Any way I appreciate my Nexus One much more now.
OK the next thing to do would be to take the SIM card and put it in your Nexus One to see if there are any issues with the actual phone. If it works fine in the Nexus One then we have something to work with here.
Hi guys,
I've been a visitor of the forums over many years now. Learned quite a bit reading all these great posts.
I'm constantly changing phones but always return to Samsung. Now I'm moving from the Note 5 to the S7E.
I just picked up the S7E today and I'm very impressed. Phone looks great and is very fast. A couple of hours playing with the phone I noticed a big problem. I'm unable to make calls when my phone is connected to LTE. When I attempt to call someone it doesn't drop to 3G to place the call. Also my Internet stops working. I can't force 3G/2G and my only option is to reboot the phone. Once I reboot, I'm able to force 3G/2G and I'm able to make calls and Internet works before and after calls. But in this mode I'm stuck without LTE.
Do you think this is faulty hardware? Or should a software update fix this?
Many thanks to XDA community!
Who is your carrier and which exact variant (SM-G935T, ...935V, etc.) of the device do you have?
Are you in the U.S. or somewhere else?
If this is a carrier-specific device being used on its intended carrier's network, then this problem is something their support people could (and should) be able to help you with.
There aren't enough specifics in your post for anyone to have a reasonable shot at helping with this issue.
Also, I just noticed you posted in the general discussion forum. This post is really asking for help and would be a better fit for the Q&A forum.

Hi,
I bought the international version (SM-G935F). It does not have any carrier branding.
I bought it in Switzerland and I'm using it in Switzerland with a Swiss carrier.
Mods, please move this thread to the appropriate section if it doesn't belong here.
Thanks!

I also had an S7 Edge with calling issues (dropped every call after a few seconds, possibly trying to switch from 4G to 3G or from 3G to 2G). It turns out it was defective and the replacement works as intended.
Just did a hard reset now.
Was able to make one call. When I tried a second time, same issue. Reboot seems to allow me to make an initial call but then same issue again.
Will take it back tomorrow and hope they have a replacement in stock.
The Feature you are talking about is Voice over LTE! Here in germany this is only anabled in the branded Provider Firmwares like from Vodafone or t-mobile germany. If you have an unbranded Device like i have G635F than VOLTE is not working cause its locked! Not Sure how this works with swiss Providers. In germany VOLTE only is working with Company branded Firmware! And to be honest i am rally worried about that cause i will never use branding Firmwares.
Update: took the s7 edge back to the store and of course the phone worked perfectly. There was nothing they could do as the phone worked fine and we were able to make many test calls.
Phone worked fine during the day but when I got home the problem started again. After some testing, it seems the problem only occurs when connected to 4G+/LTE+/carrier aggregation.
Couldn't place any calls at home this morning but at work where I only get 4G everything works perfectly. Very strange.
In Switzerland I don't think we have VoLTE. When we place calls the phone drops to 3G but for some reason it's not happening when connected to 4G+.
Ill do some more testing today to see if I can find any 4G+ areas near work to test.

Same issue
Hi,
I just got my new S7 Edge (SM-935F) and I think I have the exact same problem. When I'm in the city where I live (Morges, Switzerland), I can't make or receive any call while on 4G but data works. Switching to 2G allows me to make or receive call though.
Then, when in a different city (50km away), everything works as it should be (call and data on 4G). Did a factory reset and it also didn't change a thing.
The guy from my carrier's shop (Sunrise) told me that there was a known issue with 4G calls on the S7 and S7 Edge in different cities (mostly in the canton Valais). I've also been told that Samsung is working on an update to fix it so returning the phone to get a new one would be useless. Did he tell when that would probably be fixed ? Of course not..
I hope someone find a fix soon
Looks like the antenna gate from the iphone 4 but seriously how can something like that still happen
Hi,
Looks like we have exactly the same problem. I work in Geneva but live in Gland. Today I tested my phone in Geneva and it worked perfectly everywhere while in 4G or 4G+. As soon as I arrived home in Gland I'm unable to make calls so I have to force 3G/2G in order to receive and make calls.
By the way I also have sunrise as a carrier.
Good to know that it's a known problem and that they are working on a fix. It's very annoying... Hope they fix it soon!
