I have a NS4G, and I seem to be missing a lot of incoming calls. The phone doesn't ring/vibrate at all, and shows no indication of a call or a missed call. The only way I know somebody tried to call is I end up with voicemails, or people tell me that they tried calling and didn't get through.
This seems to happen even when I have a decent signal and when I can make outgoing calls just fine and even send/receive text messages. I don't think it's simply a coverage issue, because the phone is never really searching for a signal.
This has happened for certain on CM7 and Deck. I'm not sure about the stock ROM. In fact, I'm thinking of reverting back to stock just to test. If it does happen on stock, then I'm wondering if it's just something physically bad with the phone.
I have also updated my profile and PRL.
Has anybody else experienced anything similar? I don't seem to drop calls or have sporadic signal strength or anything like that.
Yes, i've noticed the same thing. Do you have a google voice integrated account? I'm wondering if that might be the common factor.
I've had to go and make sure that the GV app logs missed calls in case this happens.

Good point, I haven't noticed this since I updated the radio and to 2.3.5 stock, so it might have been fixed. I'll keep an eye out if it continues.
I am on the new radio. In fact, I seem to have the problem on both radios.
I am on Google Voice, by the way, and I have my cell number forward to my GV number for missed calls.
The odd thing is I don't seem to always get a missed-call notification; only one for voicemail. Then, in logging on to my GV account in the browser, it doesn't show a missed call. However, when it is working properly, and I dial my cell from a different phone, if I ignore it then I DO get a missed-call notification.
One other possible factor is I'm using an Airave at home, which is where I've noticed the problem most of the time. I'm not positive if I have experienced it outside of the home. I'll have to pay better attention.

I bet it is google voice... I really hate how it takes over my sms too.. I use it for voicemail and that's it.

I'm thinking it probably is GV too, but I wouldn't want to give up my SMS'ing from chrome extension.
You can turn it off so it doesn't take over SMS if you want and just lets you use the stock app all the time.
I don't have GV using SMS right now. Perhaps I'll disable the forwarding temporarily to see if that solves it.

If your on the new radio and using an airave you may miss calls if not connected to wifi. Im having that problem on the new radio. Ill have full bars but if i call my phone it goes straight to voicemail with no notification at all.

It happens when I'm on wifi too, unfortunately.
I was about to just disable GV, but then realized the NS4G doesn't get the regular Sprint Visual Voicemail app! Now what do I do??

You can use google voice for only voicemail. I have that setup and it works great. it even transcribes the voicemails to text
Unfortunately, I'm missing some calls using that setup. :-(
tmobile nexus s with gv deactivated
I have a T-Mobile nexus s on 2.3.4 stock, I'm missing a lot of calls and so is my wife, I've deactivated TV but it didn't change anything
Wondering if anybody else out there is encountering this! Trying to figure out whether or not it's a hardware issue.
I have ns4g and a use GV and when somebody calls my number, GV rings my nexus and my other phone with verizon, so I can say that the problem is not GV, most of the times only rings my other phone and the nexus nothing, the problem is the phone with a very weak radios, wifi/3g, and the poor service of sprint and is getting worst and worst.
Im having same problem on T-Mobile Nexus S but only when I'm on 3G .

I've had this happen to me on the Stock rom, and Deck, and I don't use GV at all for anything. Happens when the phone is sleeping usually, if it's lit up, the call won't get missed. I've really not spent the time to research it as I don't use the phone much anyway.
I also noticed problems with incoming and outgoing texts being either delayed or not sent at all. I rigged up a little test.
I scheduled a text message to be sent to my phone every minute with the current time in the message. Then I would just keep an eye/ear out on my phone while it sat on my desk. For the majority of the time, I would get the alert every minute, but sometimes there would be nothing for five or more minutes. After this outage, it seemed like all of the incoming messages would be delivered at once.
During that outage, though, it seemed like that was when the phone calls had trouble getting through. I guess it makes sense that there would be a connection between the two.
I had the same problem. I even had people tell me that they got a recording saying the call couldn't be completed. I was even testing the other day and no calls I made to the phone were connection, going straight to voice mail.
I decided to disable google voice and my issues went away, as well as all the delayed SMS and failed sending SMS problems I was having.
So I've been using the Nexus S for about one month now, my very first smartphone. Discaimer: I'm a NOOB to the core. I never rooted my phone, never thought of it.
I'm pulling my hair out at the following long list (and counting) of bugs and glitches I've noticed with my phone:
1) Menu settings randomly change (including ringtones)
2) screen doesn't turn off automatically, even though I have set screen auto off to 30 seconds. (this one is somewhat "dangerous" as I leave my phone in the bag and don't check it for a while, and later notice that my screen has been left on the whole time, draining my battery)
3) cannot make outgoing calls. I don't get outgoing ringing when I try to make outgoing calls. Also, during this time, the phone did not ring when there was an incoming call
4) pictures in the gallery come and go
5) The list of apps I downloaded disappear from "my apps" list in Android market
6) when I select a call from the call log, the phone dials a different contact
7) after using airplane mode, turning off airplane mode does not restore signal and 3G data
What's very frustrating is that all of these bugs seem to come and go randomly, without any "patterns" or "triggers." I've restarted the phone, and the issue I was having seems to go away, only to lead to another one a while later. I am wondering if any of these issues are known problems. Also, are these problems more likely to be software or hardware issues?
I'm running
Android 2.3.4
Baseband version I9020AUCKD1
Kernel version 2.6.35.7-ge382d80
Build number GRJ22
on Fido network in Canada.

You know, half the time i wouldn't even take note of the OP username and just go ahead and try to help, but you caught on to something here. Oddball username, 1 post and very unusual (really far out) problems/issues...
hmmm
1) Menu settings randomly change (including ringtones) - Probably user error. Or you're using apps that keep conflicting with your setup.
2) screen doesn't turn off automatically, even though I have set screen auto off to 30 seconds. (this one is somewhat "dangerous" as I leave my phone in the bag and don't check it for a while, and later notice that my screen has been left on the whole time, draining my battery) - Manually turn screen off after a given set of time, chances are, your bag is pressing up against the phone when you place it in and the phone keeps pressing buttons (My guess).
3) cannot make outgoing calls. I don't get outgoing ringing when I try to make outgoing calls. Also, during this time, the phone did not ring when there was an incoming call - I had this problem before, are you using Google Voice with integration?
4) pictures in the gallery come and go - Depends on the size of the images, the phone can only read so much data from SD card at a time. I assume you're not giving it enough time to load everything or you have a .nomedia file somewhere that's hiding your pictures from being shown.
5) The list of apps I downloaded disappear from "my apps" list in Android market - It's a known bug with some Market builds. Downloading another app or giving it a minute will usually fix the problem.
6) when I select a call from the call log, the phone dials a different contact - This is weird. Do you have a custom dialer app from the market that may have this bug? I played with my phone out of box a few days and nothing like this happened.
7) after using airplane mode, turning off airplane mode does not restore signal and 3G data - If you're in a weak signal area, it can take longer to gain 3G back. If it doesn't come back within 2 minutes, I suggest a reboot. I also suggest doing a profile update, PRL update, and firmware update (as Google has sent an OTA with bugfixes) to see if these problems can be fixed.
The only bug I experienced since I've got my Nexus S is that the Screen won't respond for a little while after unlocking my phone.
I didn't had the time yet to analyze the problem more detailed, maybe this also happens due to a specific widget? I don't know. I got a lot of them all over my four different home screens.
No response from OP yet people continue to respond. I think the fecal fan has left the building.

Judging by the quality of the posts in this thread, I find it rather ironic that I'm being accused of being a troll. First time posting and where is the love?
I will respond to pretty much the only useful reply I got in this thread so far.

Please define what you mean by "user error." I don't know of any apps that can change the global notification ringtone.

Nexus S does not have an SD card slot AFAIK. I gave it plenty of time to load everything. I wouldn't expect my phone to require 5 minutes to load pictures. I own a smartphone, not a 486. On reboot, some pictures show up that weren't in the gallery before. After subsequent reboot, some other random pictures disappear.

I understand 3G can take longer, but it seems fishy that my cell signal doesn't come back. I waited more than 2 minutes and I ended up HAVING to reboot (twice in fact) to get both 3G and cell reception back.
Oh yeah, just yesterday, I experienced my first encounter with the mythical "search button of death" bug. Yay.
perform a hard reset and it should be fine
could just be u got a bad phone. i've never had or heard of any of those issues on the forums. your factory warranty is good for a year.
Dude what the f**k is up with your username??? god damn what the hell is wrong with people...
the only error that has been reported is the images missing. the rest are probably your fault or you're doing something wrong. if you love **** so much go buy the iPhone

Yes this happens. BUT.... only when you mount the phone via USB and do not disconnect it properly. The phone doesnt have time to scan for your set ringtones, and therefore defaults it to some random mp3 or whatever.

Due to what i said above as well. This is a HUGE bug.
Every other problem you have is either user-error or an issue from your telco.
Have you done a factory reset of the phone? You may even have a virus. Just read somewhere that Android is the most targeted platform for them as of now.
Today I decided to use my new Galaxy SII mobile phone (had it locked away in its box for 4 weeks as I had to wait for my new case to arrive from overseas). Well anyhow what I did was I removed the SIM card from my Omnia i8000 and inserted it into my Galaxy SII phone. Booted the phone up, all went well, and it booted up nicely recognising all my Crazy Johns settings etc.
Now here's the weird problem. When ever anyone tried to ring me, I will see their number come up on my screen, it will ring for 1 sec or prob slightly more than all of a sudden it will cut out/hang up, no call at all will go through, just simply cut our after 1 sec or so. Ok now the problem gets more weird here, I also have another mobile (Samsung i780) which is my work phone, so what I did was I got the i780 and called my Galaxy SII to test it out, and it rang perfectly. But from any other phone, this means my friends mobiles and LAN line it would just simply cut off after 1 sec or so, no call will go through. The only call that goes through is from my 2nd Samsung i780 in which I dont have any problems at all.
Help would be appreciated
See if any groups/persons are added in Black List or not. Check under Settings- Call- Call rejection- Black List.
Regards.
Done all that and no, non of my friends that I've tried on their mobiles to call me is listed there.
Like I said in my post above, the weird thing is, is I call from my i780 it works fine and rings, but any other phone it simply rejects.
Try another sim card..

Ok fair enough, but my Q here is, why does it accept calls from my Samsung i780 mobile, dont have a problem there at all ?
Ok now this is more weird. I am now visiting and staying at my parents place, I tried to call my Galaxy SII from my Mums mobile and it worked great, did the same from their home phone and it worked great too, so no probs there what so ever, I will need to start testing with more phones.
Now I am wondering will it only accept calls for only those contacts that are in my address book, and who is not listed in my contact book it will blacklist and reject, just doesnt sound right to me.
On your Galaxy S II go to Settings, Call, Call Rejection...check the Auto Reject Mode. What is selected in your phone?
[yey first post]
i had the same problem.. do you keep your phone on gsm instead of 3g with the data connection on? if so apparently when it tries to sync stuff it basically keeps your phone line busy so if people try to call you they'll get cut off. after i turned 3g with data connection on the problem disappeared. hope this made sense!
you dont have your own number in contact list right? this is reason why it dont get rejected ... check the black list and see that "unknown" is checked or not
i have same kind of problem. some people call me but they say that my phone is off. but my phone was next to me and i wasnt calling some one else. is this a carrier or phone problem?
The setting for call rejection is OFF
Try with your phone company and see if you are not transferred into any of those family call plans
My Boss's new Galaxy S4 is dialing on its own. Has happen 3 different times and one of the times it even called 911. Also Motion (I believe that is what it is called) is turned off.
Has anyone ran into this issue??
Thanks
The only thing I could think of is something pressing the phone and opening up the emergency dialer it has happened to me before even when the phone is locked it'll open up the emergency dialer at times where you can make like 911 calls

Having this crazy issue. Everyday now my contacts,texts and recent calls all seem to disappear/display blank and not return even after reboots and then they randomly show back up. No specific timeframe.
This is on the Stock Tmobile G2. Anyone else seen this?
