[Q] Call log displaying incorrect times - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So this is a very minor issue (I think?). Anyways, the call log on my Nexus 4 displays incorrect times. I am running stock 4.2.2, unrooted. (I had it rooted and unlocked, but I relocked/rooted it)
So what I mean is if I call someone the call log will say I called them we'll say 10 seconds ago once the call ends. If I go back into the call log a couple minutes later it will still say I called the person 10 seconds ago. If I make another call it'll update the call log. This isn't really a big deal, but it's still kind of odd. I'm wondering if this is a normal issue perhaps? When I was running CM10 on my old Galaxy S2 it did the same thing.
Thanks for the help guys.

[Q] Intermittent problems, and "message not sent" errors

Hello all,
I've been using android on my HD for about a year, and for about 6 months I have been using NAND rather than SD card developed versions.
Please forgive me if this is a post already made, but I have tried looking for solutions via Google, searching the forums.... Lets see if you can help.
I will at times have full signal strength and will have texts repeatedly unable to send. Also, with full strength I'll try to place a call, the call screen opens, and then will either do 1 of 2 things.
1. "Call ended" and it displays the call time, from what appears to be the last call time to that number.
2. Call ended, no notification otherwise.
After I restart my phone, I tend to get out 1 good call before the issue starts again. Texting will also intermittently go in and out. I can send 4 or 5 then the 6th starts having unresolvable issues.
Please, if you could help, or point me to a thread that addresses this I'd really appreciate it.
This is not build-specific. The past 2 have been effected. One was a cyanogen build, the other a Nexus port.
This is horribly frustrating.
Rebooting the phone fixes the issue.

[Q] Nexus 4 repeated signal loss and calls not coming through

I've got some serious issues with my Nexus 4, I've found posts with similar problems but not exactly what I have. I'm at a loss what to do next so any advice would be much appreciated.
I bought a N4 around March this year, direct from Google, and connected it to TPG Mobile here in Australia which uses the Optus network.
It was fine until about the end of May or beginning of June where it started losing signal regularly. First thing I noticed is it would start dropping calls and displaying "No network available", the triangular status bar at the top would go blank (completely black, not grey) for about 30 seconds, then it would return to normal signal and I could make calls again. However it would do this every few minutes, whether I was on a call or not, and each time it would last roughly 30 seconds and then return to normal.
Around the same time I started to receive SMS on either a delay, or they'd arrive on-time, but then keep sending multiple times for about the next hour.
I rang Google, they got me to go through recovery mode, then it worked fine, for about 24 hours, before it started again. They sent me a new device, which did the same thing within hours of activation, so I requested a 3rd device. At the same time I thought it might be the sim card, so I got a new one of those too.
My 3rd device and new sim card worked perfectly for about 3 days then the same problem started. Factory resets etc seem to fix the problem for either minutes or hours, but never permanently.
Then last week I noticed further weird symptoms, I started getting the usual sms to say someone had called and left a voicemail, however my phone never showed any sign of a call (visual, audio or missed call in the call log). I confirmed with several people who tried calling me and they confirmed the phone rang on their end before going to VM. I tried it myself from a landline and it randomly rings or doesn't ring on my end, however I also noticed when I hung up on the landline without answering my Nexus 4, it continued to ring indefinitely, ie. it hadn't registered the caller hung up.
My provider assures me there isn't an issue in my area, my wife uses the same provider (with an iphone) and has not had these issues. I can't swap sim cards with her though as she has a full-size sim. I tried another sim with my phone for a few hours and it worked fine, however my phone with my sim will sometimes go a whole day without issues so it wasn't long enough to truly test it.
I've deleted all apps that might somehow affect it and the hasn't helped either.
Basically I'd like to know is this likely to be a phone issue, and I pursue the issue with Google, or some sort of network/sim issue and I pursue it with my provider?

making & receiving calls.. getting dead air half the time...

Hi everyone, i am having a couple issues with my phone. Im no pro, but after rooting my old s3 i got thr s4 and rooted it before even making a call. i installed the pac-rom ROM and its been working great except for the following...
about 3 of 10 calls when answered is dead air, the person on the other end says it rings then stops to dead air..
also about 3 of 10 calls placed are dead air also, the person on the other end gets a ring and answers to dead air.. my call timer starts counting as a normal call would, not as if the phone is unable to gain a network connection to make the call, where the phone just wouldnt connect. i dont hear ringing.
its very annoying. not so much when making the call, but when trying to answer a work call then having to call them right back as they are trying to call you back and leaving a VM or something.. i talked with Telus, and of course they see nothing wrong. but they will only do so much as my phone has a custom rom and they just blame the problem on that regardless of whats actually causing it.
donation coming to whoever can get this fixed for me!
also, when i have google chrome open, or by using the google search bar, i cant google anything or go to my bank website from my phone. it seems that all secure webpages cant be viewed.. im also having a problem where some pages just wont load. wireless or not.. gives me a server error connection refused message.
im more worried about the connection problem than the surfing problem, any help is appreciated though! thanks!
anyone?
What device, what rom, what version of baseband, come on, more info will yield more answers...
If it's a 4.2 AOSP ROM, it's possible that the audio fix from cm hasn't been merged, and even if it has, there are still issues. There is a modified phone.apk you can try as well, just search the forums for it. This issue shouldn't be an issue much longer since it doesn't exist on 4.3

New S4 problems with 4.3 update.

I got the S4 during the black Friday sale at best buy, I've had the phone only 8 days and I'm already running into problems. There has been 2 instances when I get a call, there is no audio. The person cannot hear me or I cant hear them or there is complete silence. Another weird thing I notice was my custom ringtones reset back to the defaults for my contacts and text notifications. Not sure if this has anything to do with the 4.3 update but I am planning on returning to BB and swapping out for another S4. I didn't get a chance to use the phone before updating to 4.3 but is there any way to stop the OTA with the new phone swap? I want to hold off a bit with 4.3 to see if the problem comes back.

Interesting,
I too bought the S4 at BB on Black Thursday. I am also having intermittent issues with phone calls as you described. Not all the time but probably on 8 calls. There is absolutely no audio but the call shows to have connected and seconds are counting on. I had this happen on both outbound and inbound calls. We got 4 phone at the time and mine seems to be the only one doing this.
I went to the Sprint store today and they ran the activation process to see if that would fix. Still waiting and hoping it won't happen again.
Interested in others thoughts or experiences as well. .

I went back to BB and did a swap. I am back at 4.2.2. Is there any way I can prevent the OTA?

Yes. Just don't take it.

And you can stop it from bothering you with notifications, too. On the notifications pane, long press the update notification. Go to App Info and then uncheck the Show Notifications box.

Need Opinions And Thoughts Please

Ok ive been pulling my hair out for a while with this problem so im really hoping you guys can give me some answers or suggestions to help me fix it My Girlfriend has the Galaxy S5 SM-G900V. Baseband version G900VVRU2BOG5 So rooting or custom ROMS is out of the question so that leaves me with trying to diagnose and eliminate this problem without a easy way out.
Ok the problem is once she updated the phone to lollipop she had all the common problems that come with it over time i have slowly eliminated them with factory resets and cache cleaning and such although i have one problem that not even verizon can figure out. The phone itself with occassionally and randomly just refuse to make or receive calls its a very odd problem because the phone will send and receive sms and mms just fine when this happens but when we try to dial out it just sits at dialing and never connects, when calls are dialed into the phone it will ring 5 times or so then go to voice mail or just go straight to voicemail altogether without ever ringing the s5 shows no sign of anyone ever trying to call at all no ringing no records nothing. Once in a blue moon it will ring 4 times on the dial in and then the s5 will start ringing around the 5th ring which is extremely long time IMO. This happens very randomly and in all different locations i have disabled call blocking and auto reject i have tried safe mode to only experience the same problems, i have factory reset several times. Verizon opened a ticket with there tier 2 techs and network development team to check out the issue they tell us everything is completely fine and theres nothing they can see wrong. But they do not deny the problem is there they just cant explain it. Now get this, This is the second phone that has done this to her Ther first one had the same problem and was warranty claimed this is the second phone and same exact issues. Im not sure what else i can do i am a very tech savy person and this one has got me stumped the only thing i can see thats odd for me is the phone has 3 Phone services running in the background But I believe this may have something to do with the Touchwiz Easy Or Regular Home UI althought im not sure why it would use seperate apps. Anyway any input would be helpful Thanks
