Anyone else have issues with their phones randomly hanging up calls? I am running stock rooted with some tweaks, but it was doing this before I rooted or applied tweaks. I shrugged it off at first thinking it was a fluke with the network, but now it's getting in the way of my phones functionality. I hung up on a customer 3 times today, defintelty didn't look good haha.
Basically I'm simply on the phone and all of a sudden it beeps like they ended the call and it hangs up. It happens in full service or less, and all air gesture and motion/voice options are turned off, unless there's something I'm missing. Any input is appreciated, thanks in advance. Cheers!

Well it would have nothing to do with air gestures or other TW features such as those. But maybe they are doing service upgrades in your area. What modem are you on? Maybe try the dialer code (dial "##72786#"), it will reset your network and reboot a couple of times automatically, you don't have to do anything.

Well the dialer code didn't seem to help, and Sprint is telling me they are not doing any work in our area. The issue makes the phone almost unusable for phone calls. Having to borrow others phones to make calls is not what I spent $300 bucks plus my monthly bill for.. :crying:

Your proximity sensor might be messed up. I think you can exchange your phone within 30 or 90 days, if that's the case. Can't really think of anything else besides a hardware issue
You could always try resetting it back to factory settings.

Recently, I added my buddy to my family account and had his evo set up just like he said he saw mine as. During the course of about an hour or two of rooting, flashing, and downloading; I started getting the same text message he sent me from the parking lot to ask what I needed from Wendy's, and so far I've received it 38 times TODAY.
I thought this was his doing because of some odd setting I must have set, or a wrong sequence of flashing... perhaps forgetting to wipe a cache at a particular time?
The problem is, I also got a text from my girlfriend, and although not as bad, I've been getting the same one about a dozen times. She's on USCC.
Has anyone else been experiencing this? I've become paranoid to the point to where I've flashed cm7, and wiped all data without a restore, but I still get the same problem. Anything I could do?
Thank you in advance for your time, all feedback is appreciated.

Oh wow! I actually do have an airave, but although the bulk of this was happening at home, I was still receiving some of these duplicates in the car.

Had the same issue. The problem starts with the airave. Unplug it, then call sprint, tier two support. They flush something and it goes away.
I've have mine unplugged now, since it was the root of the problem. I would rather roam then go thru sms hell again.

I received about 50 from my dad the other day. I ahd no idea it was the airave because I received a couple more at work the next day... thanks
experienced repeated sms messages last night at home as well. unplugged the airave and the issue stopped... i also got flooded with what seemed to be backed up sms messages as well.
same problem and have the airave.
lol luckily i have never been the recipient of this, but i sure feel sorry for my friends... haha. Happened quite a few times.
its not the air rave, i have it but i received my duplicated txt's when i wasn't near it. try 30 something miles away from it.
i called in and im waiting on an engineer to call me back in an hour
AHA! Same thing happened to me last night. My dad kept sending me "Yanks and Sox are playing on channel 1127." I called him up bragging that there was something wrong with his recently purchased iPhone 4. Turns out it was me.
I had the same thing happen when i was with verizon unfortunately, seems sprint isn't the only one.
My stock replacement evo is locking up randomly
When this happens, whe I wake the phone the screen is unresponsive and the icons start dragging themselves around the screen and I end up doing a battety pull.
The guys at the sprint store could not repeat the problem but it happened 10mins ago
is there a fix or something sprint can do to help me? Im on my second evo and im sick of the people at the sprint store saying the phone isgood because the problem doesnt happen when they check the phone.

What software are you running?
You could run a RUU and see if that solves the issue.
If it doesn't I would take a video the next time the phone does it and show them the video in the store.
Sounds like its possibly a touch screen issue.

I would do better than that, and take it in while its locked up, then demand a new phone and a credit for your discomfort.

Well the credit was just over the top, but I mean take it in if it happens, and he's available to do so.
I just want my phone to work, I asked the tech if he were to replace my phone, if he had any evos and he said they could not replace it because they wereout of stock...hoping I can fix this when I get home, I hate dealing with with the reps at the store making me wait 2 hrs every time I go.

he did his stuff and now my phone is unable to accept signals. I replaced the sim card and still won't accept a signal, even tried choosing att from the call settings and reseting the api values.
And at the end of the day... no unlock... still a locked bootloader and I haven't heard from him since.

I think this post is rather rude.
You chose to modify your phone. Accept the consequences.
Furthermore I wouldn't blame him for this.
The phone being unlocked now has no carrier. You will have to most likely call AT&T and have them to add your phone back to the network
I've had to do this before
But don't jump to conclusions and blame him for your troubles
This is a stupid thread your literally the only one I've heard that has has a problem with with Alejandrissimo everyone else has great things to say. Maybe try to figure out your problem before coming here and *****ing

I did try and speak to him, I did not get a response back at all after telling him what happened. In fact right after, he disconnect from Google talk and stopped responding to my emails.
So I've been having this problem since I got the S4, and Sprint continues to refuse it exists. It's very similar to the Loss of Service issue that the Galaxy S2/Epic 4G Touch was plagued with. The issue is consistent from the initial GS4 I received to the refurbished device I just got a few days ago. Basically the mobile network service drops, but the data stays enabled and functional. It's incredibly random, and the only way to reverse it is to enable and disable airplane mode. This is a problem for many reasons, the most obvious being that if I'm not aware of it dropping service when it's in my pocket or not on me, I could be missing important calls/texts and the battery drops like a rock. I attached a screenshot of the No service icon being displayed with data still active. Right after taking the screenshot, I opened up the FB app and everything loaded, as well as browsed a couple of XDA threads quickly to make sure I wasn't going crazy.
I am currently running MF9 stock with Agat's latest release, and the MF9 modem obviously. The issue is consistent with the stock kernel, completely unrooted stock system, as well as the MDL software (I tried running MDL for a little bit while I still had my first GS4). Any input is appreciated, or any ways to troubleshoot the issue. Thanks in advance!
Its not that bad. I've had it happen about 3 times since I've own the device. June 1st.

Yeah it's not the end of the world, just a bit of poison in my eyes. I have it happen fairly frequently though, maybe every other charge cycle it happens, and sometimes multiple times per cycle. Do you find it happens when you have low service? Almost like the mobile network gets very faint, it drops for a second, and then the phone can't grab back onto the network for some reason.

That's it for me, it will happen about once every five hours if I'm moving around a lot in very low service areas (one bar, 1X). It's not as bad as it was on my E4GT, where it could happen at any time.
Sent from my Carbonized Chronic SPH-L720
do you live in a low service area? i mean really as a sprint customer (ex-employee) we have all had drops and los at one point but to say its a device issue is absurd....if your in an area where on average you get 1 mabey 2 bars of service your going to experiance this alot more than others as you live in an area where the towers are spread farther apart. each tower has and average radius of 7 miles (this can vary....hence the use of the word average). so if for instance you are moving out of a towers range....lets say your at 6.8 miles from the nearest tower and all of a sudden everyone around that tower decides to call their grandma and you dont have a tower close enough to jump to then guess what..... if you experiance this with multiple devices in the same area then its obviously not the device itself, there is a factor that your not considering that is probably a huge reason why you experiance this. for example if you live in a freaking house made of iron and concrete (dont laugh ive taken this call more than once) or if you live in an area of extreme geographic variation.....look at your surroundings.....hell you may have a shopping center between you and the tower and that could even cause it. this is an amazing phone with some of the most hightech and up-to-date hardware avaliable for mobile devices i just dont see why people continue to blame it for ****ty service. a great tool as a sprint customer is to look at the coverage in your area coverage.sprintpcs.com. also (cause i know your thinking it) voice and data (contrary to popular belief) on the sprint network do not run at the same frequency. they do however run on such a similar frequency as to make calling and data at the same time virtually impossible (unless on 4g or wifi) and that may be why your able to obtain a data signal while loosing the signal for making voice calls....because they are differant. also my spelling is horrible so dont judge me lol im just trying to give insight to your problems and trying to help the next poor rep you get on the phone from hearing the same story they hear all day long.
I wonder if there's an app, or it can be made in tasker, something that checks to see if you have connection. If it doesn't see service after a pre determined amount of time, it cycles airplane mode on then off.

Thank you for your input. The area I live in has great coverage for the most part, data isn't the fastest but the signal strength is overall pretty good. There are poor spots of course but considering the geography of my area it is good. And just so you know, I don't call and whine to the customer service reps about nonsense, I have more common sense than to expect cell service in a bunker. Speaking of that, I do have an airrave at home and the phone does the LoS thing while connected to the airrave. And it was proven that the GS2 had software issues which caused the LoS issue, so its possible the same can be said for the GS4.
I'd be interested to see about a script that would toggle air plane mode...hmmm.

I do remember the gs2's los issue but I have yet to see that on an s4 other than what u have described but since replying to this post I have also read your other post about your phone having moisture in it.......I mean water of and kind in any form does not play well with electronics.....could be your having hardware malfunctions because of the amount of moisture you are getting in your phone.....I just haven't seen this as a known hardware or software issue on this device so there has to be an external reason why its happening to you. This would explain the los even on the airave as well. Granted those moisture sensors can sometimes be a little sensitive but with what you described It could be an insight into a deeper problem.

Most certainly agree with you, only problem is that I have received a replacement since, and the problem still exists. If I hadn't gotten a second phone with the same issue I wouldn't have bothered asking in another thread, I really thought maybe the moisture in the old phone was the issue . Sprint tells me my area has "some of the best coverage in the nation" which might be exaggerated but it is still good coverage.

Yeah I do have the same job, but for the time being I've just been leaving my phone in the truck so its not exposed to the moisture. As for my set up, currently running stock rooted with agats kernel, but I've tried 100% stock for a while before and it still did it, as well as a few other configurations and its consistent. I actually have to knock on wood, it didn't do it once yet today, although I did lose data several times but that happens with sprint no matter where I am. Honestly I feel like its a problem I may not be able to fix, unfortunately the troubleshooting options are very limited.

Nah not to my knowledge... I have heard of very few cases of the same issue only with the S4 but I guess sprint/Sammy won't recognize it until there are more people with the issue. And yeah just like you said, sprint gives me the runaround when I call them and the guy in the store does the same thing, says his hands are tied cause usually they do whatever they can. I am grateful they got me a refurbished device for free even with water damage though.

yessir thats what they do.....well if it truly is a hardware issue with the s4's i hope you can get some light shed on it soon so you dont have to deal with anymore. I remember it from the s2 days and it was definatly annoying at best. but hey look on the bright side.....at least you aren't having menu wakes like the s2 did. my only advice i can give is just try different combos of roms,kernels,modems to see if you can find one that may at least somewhat mask the issue. unfortunatly if its hardware thats failing then its only going to get worse and worse.
I am really frustrated with my LG G2 because of the screen problem I encountered. The screen goes up and down, it happens when I over using the phone. I went on LG service center to reset my phone. still no luck, the problem is still there. They think its a software problem. I hope LG will release new software update on G2
To me that seems more like a hardware problem, not a software one.
Can you reproduce the problem at will?
Dude, I think you have a lemon...
Good luck!
It happened when i charged my phone with the screen is on and i always reading manga. maybe the screen is too sensitive. Yea i think this is hardware issue

You are running it completely stock? And you've done a factory reset? If so, it sounds to me like your phone is defective. These phones are so new it should still be under warranty, right?

Got a similar problem. I am unsure if I want to send it back for exchange or just keep it, as there are plenty of reports of owners exchanging G2's just to get another with the same problem. Looks to me to be a software issue - at least with my G2 - as I can get past it by just turning the screen off/on.
Let us know how your G2 turns out.

Lol just swapped it out. We will see how the new one does but so far way way better. Seriously my phone was horrible. I read and read thread after threads today and my case seemed way worse then everyone else's. Like most people's was tolerable, this was intolerable. I'd say 6 out of 10 times u turned on the screen it be messed up.
I showed the best buy mobile guy and he said without a doubt there's a problem. The best place for me to show him was the app drawer, if u held ur finger on the screen it would bounce and randomly select apps, we tried the demo unit and it worked perfectly.
Ill keep u updated on how this baby does.

Well that didn't take long. Started setting the phone up and all was good. Started disabling the apps I don't use and after that it went berserk. I thought Hhmm maybe it's one of the apps causing it so did a factory reset and no it did right off the bat so I'm done. If it wasn't to late tonight I woulda just took it back again. Back to the Note 2.

Well that didn't take long. Started setting the phone up and all was good. Started disabling the apps I don't use and after that it went berserk. I thought Hhmm maybe it's one of the apps causing it so did a factory reset and no it did right off the bat so I'm done. If it wasn't to late tonight I woulda just took it back again. Back to the Note 2.

Yikes - sorry to hear this.
I wondered if my first G2 was worse b/c I aggressively set it up right from the start: disabling apps I don't want, installing a bunch of apps, etc. On G2 #2, I didn't do that and although I've seen this issue surface on my new G2, it has been just a couple of times.
You need to use whatever phone you get the most enjoyment out of. The G2 undeniably has a software glitch that causes this PIA issue. Too bad it didn't work out for you. Good luck with your Note.
I hope LG addresses this issue SOON!!

Thank you, I hope it works out for you guys and they fix it. I love the phone and want it to work but it just isnt gonna happen right now. Im just gonna cancel my upgrade and I guess eat the $35 restocking fee which I think is crap but oh well.
Ill keep my eyes on the forum and may return to it if they fix the phone cause im not gonna use my upgrade right now. Besides this glitch the phonw is a beast. Good luck...

This happened to a few people here in Thailand. We are posting the issues on a group in facebook.
My iPhone 4s used to bounce all over the place when plugged in to charge.
My G2 hasn't had any hardware issues at all yet. I've had it going on 7 months now. Works perfectly.
My advice is that if you get a replacement or repair and it does it again, never get another LG product again. Just like me an Apple. I'm done with them. There's a guy here who wants his old Note 2 back. I know a guy who had 3 motherboards replaced on his Note 2. The last one broke the screen as the phone was swollen. There's no way of knowing. Its just the luck of the draw with these things.
When you get a really good phone, keep it and use it until it disintegrates. As long as this G2 is fine, I won't part with it for anything.
And yes. This is a hardware issue.

Maybe this can be replaced by the warranty service.
bring it to the service center.. but you will handle the repair.. if your liable for the damage
