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..
hi!
i bought the pomp w89,chinesee device ofc,sry i cant post a link im new her
im having a very wierd problem,it goes like this:
i insert my sim card and turn on my phone,and for a short time it works fine,i made a call,even though it took it about 1 min just to start the beep sound when you're calling someone(the dialing screen),and after a while i wouldnt get any signal bars,and sometimes i had FULL signal bar;and i was able to see the carrier info when you scroll the notification bar down,and other times i would get the carrier name and to the left "emergency calls only".
i dont know what is the problem,in other forum someone told me to change the modem or something like that and im kinda new to android so i dont know jack **** about how to do more complicated stuff.
the sim works fine on my other phone,i use samsung f480T and i dont understand the problem because both of them suppport the same networks :/
bump
.......
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.

But if I am not wifi connected I had the problem too ... I am trying this but I do not know if it is the right solution. At the moment many thanks for your idea ...
Excuse me but what do you mean by "calls were delayed up to 4 hrs"?!
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.

Ok I will look for that, hoping to find the solution by this way ... but is not the 4.4.4 or L version arriving so that I could wait for that official? ...

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!
Hello,
I have bought a Leeco Coolpad for my mother and everything works fine except one annoying thing. Receiving SMS does not always work while the same sim card in another device works just fine.
It's like the phone is not listening for SMS at some point and you can send as many SMS to the phone as you want, no of them ever reaches the phone while sometimes everything is working fine.
Have you experienced the same issue and if yes, do you know how to solve it? My mother uses SMS a lot so if this doesn't work, I'll have no other option than returning the phone
Thanks
Laurent
Check the APN, make sure it's configured correctly.
Check the phone manage settings. The text are probably setup to block the incoming texts.
Thanks! I sometimes receive SMS which would mean that the configuration is ok otherwise I would never receive any. It's like the default application for SMS is sometimes not listening to incoming SMS anymore. I have tried other SMS applications and it's exactly the same issue, sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't for some reason.
I have the same problem on Lineage (android 9) firmware 30s (the problem also persists on 20s). The problem does not come from my provider and the APN settings are correct. Have you found a solution? I think it comes from the radio settings. Thanks!
