Okay.... so I am having this weird problem with my G2. Starting 2 days ago, I am no longer able to make/receive calls or txt messages on my phone. I have 4 bars showing for signal status and data is connected. I am able to access the internet and download from the market, but if I attempt to make a phone call, nothing happens. The only way I get notified that someone attempted to call me is if they leave a voicemail and I get notified by Google Voice.
I have tried flashing a different radio as well as completely wiping the device and reinstalling the Virtuous ROM (as well as tried the new OTA rooted ROM here on XDA) but still cannot get calls/txts to work.
Anybody have any ideas as to what could be causing this?
Maybe a bad SIM? Not sure if that would cause no voice/SMS but still have data. But it wouldn't hurt to go to a T-Mob store and ask for a new SIM, as I think they usually will give you one for free.
Funny you should mention that. I completely wiped the device one last time and then reinstalled the Virtuous 2.0 ROM. Again I had data but no voice/SMS. After a reboot my status bar indicated that the SIM was not valid. I turned the phone off, removed the battery and SIM card and cleaned all the dust out. I then put the SIM card and battery back in and was able to get my voice/SMS connection.
I think I might still try to get a new SIM card just in case. Maybe the dust wasn't the issue and I just happened to get lucky after removing then reinserting the SIM.

Last night, before I went to bed, I noticed my phone lost reception. I didn't think anything of it and went to bed. Today at work, I still have no reception. Of course I checked to make sure the actual phone on comm manager was on, but it just keeps searching. I did have my phone overclocked to 273, but I dropped it to stock speed with the same results. I even did a hard reset and it does the same thing. I tried to go in an manually select a network, but it just says searching. I'm running Open Touch 3.0 Biggy. Any ideas or suggestions? I've heard that sim cards can go bad and cause this, but mine seems to be working. I can still access all my sim contacts.
Thanks,
Nevermind....
Okay, so I found someone who had a tmobile sim card, and swapped with their phone, and their sim card works in my phone, but mine won't in theirs....therefore, bad sim card. It's weird though, because I can still access my contacts though. ....off to buy a new sim card. Man, I'm glad its the card and not the phone. Waaaaaay cheaper to fix.
Recently I have been having this problem where my phone will have connection to the network for about 3 hours max then it will loose service completly. Then if i try and switch to 2g only it doesnt do anything but stay without connection then i will restart the phone and it will give me the no SIM card notification and even if i try and select the network manually it will say SIM card not registered on network anyone having these same issues.
I am running JF1.5ADP with lucids apps to sd
PS I have switched sim cards 5 times and a number change and even a ban number change any suggestions before i junk this thing and get an iphone.

After that, nope. Go.
I had this happen to me once. I rebooted a few times, and Reseated the SIM card and that seemed to fix it( Although, i don't think that is what actually remedied the problem). That happened about a week ago, and i haven't had any problems since.
Running JF1.5ADP Also.
Oh, And c_low: Don't come into an Android Forum and start talking about getting an *phone. I don't think it'll get you any non flame replies.

thats real helpful im sure your a valued member of this forum lmao(tool)
I have a really annoying problem on my SGS2.
The phone ends calls randomly by itself. It is a pain in the ass when I have been on hold for 10min and then I am the next in line and CLICK! I want to throw the phone into the wall when that happens.
Or when I need to call my friend back 7 times during a conversation.
Anyone else have this problem?
i have not had a single dropped call and i use at least an hour per day. here are the three things i would do
1. make sure you have a fairly new 3g sim card (or bull**** 4g depending on which provider you have). i used to have issues with rogers when i had the htc magic and getting a new sim card fixed them.
2. check which apps you have installed on the phone. some apps turn off data for periods of time and you might be having an issue when data comes back online. i have read about different android devices that let data have a priority over voice, so if you are on a call and your device tries to download an email you might drop a call. i would uninstall or freeze any apps which could do this and use the phone for a couple of days to see if the issue stops.
3. if you still have issues i would backup whatever was important and hard reset the phone (deletes all info) and start from scratch. you might have a corrupted file or something
good luck
May be your network sucks. No dropped call issues here.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA Premium App
1. I use the same card as I had on my N900, didn't have this issue, but will check it.
2. I live in Europe where we can Call and surf at the same time, so not a problem.
3. I flashed the phone to KE7 2 weeks ago, and factory reset it too. Gonna try to change the modem kernel when I get the time.
Kirdroid: No, it happens everywhere, and hasn't happened with any other phone before this.
Gonna see if changing the modem kernel can help.
I've been using AICP for a while (Marshmallow), but haven't done an update in a while. By a while, I mean that I don't think I've flashed anything in weeks. Suddenly, I cannot make or receive calls today. Yesterday I made a number of calls just fine. I checked all the standard possible causes, dialer apps, default apps for phone, etc. After no success, I decided to flash back to stock.
Now I'm on stock 6.0. Same problem, cannot make calls. All I get is a screen which says "dialing" until it makes a tone sound and hangs up, never rings anyone. My phone never rings or responds when other people call. I do have full bars and service, and my APN is set up properly with AT&T in the USA. SMS and Data work fine, and so does WiFi. No other problems at all with the phone. I've had it for about a year and a half with no real hardware issues other than a loose charging port. No drops, no cracked screen or anything.
I'm wondering if anybody has a clue about what the problem with my phone is. I'm willing to generate and provide logs if there's a way to do that which could show the issue.
EDIT1: Derp, just tried the SIM in my girlfriend's phone. Seems to by my sim card. I'll go to AT&T tomorrow and report back here if the issue is fixed.
Just picked up one of these phones. Really like it so far! One issue I've noticed though, after a few days of ownership, it's randomly dropping/not detecting the sim card? It's happened at least twice where I've left it to charge over night and woke up to the no sim icon, and yesterday at some point while I was watching YouTube videos in full screen (in my hands, off charger, no notice of the drop either whenever it actually occurred). Quickly popping the sim tray out and in resolves the issue. At first I thought it was because I was using a manually cut sim card, so I've since replaced the sim but the problem persists.
Anyone else have this issue? Should I have the device exchanged?
Thanks
First the phone froze and after restart dropped sim
I just had the same issue occur just now. The phone had frozen for over an hour before I did a forced reset and now when it started back it shows no SIMCARD and no connectivity. I am like you, I really like this phone but hopefully this isn't a permanent issue.
Watched it happen just now. Goes from bars to no sim icon without error or notice. Resetting the network settings, resetting the phone, and powering it off/on won't fix it. Literally have to pop the sim in and out and its recognized right away.
I lost sim recognition after I flashed to LOS 11/30 and no matter what I tried, phone would not recognize the sim. Once I flashed back to stock, it came back. Hopefully this was due to the rom and the problem won't come back.
I am not sure if I lose the SIM, but I will say that when I am driving around with Android Auto, I constantly see the cell signal go from LTE to no signal every couple minutes...

Had same issues when I flashed back to stock I actually have better signal than when I got it out of the box.... Almost as if the software wasn't installed correctly or something
Same here I'm on the stock room. I'm wondering if it is an app I downloaded. Any idea how to wipe cashe not the apps but system.
This is happening at least twice a day now. It seems to be software related. Power off and on without taking out sim fixes it.
