Caller ID problem - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin

My AT&T S4 has an issue with caller ID. If I'm on a call, and another call comes in, the phone drops the active conversation. Then I have to call that person back. I'm rooted, but still stock ROM, and NOT mf3

Did you have this problem before you rooted? Did you perhaps remove any system things you might have thought were 'bloatware'?
Are specific numbers that call you being rejected? (there is a call rejection list in stock ROM, perhaps their info is in that list)

To be honest I'm not sure if I had this before rooting... I've been rooted for so long. Never removed or even attempted to remove bloat ware. I just know I never had the issue on my S3, buy that phone was never rooted. But that's all I did was root, so I could trick Google Wallet into working. Everything else is pure stock. And my reject list is empty.

Nexus S 4G missing incoming calls!

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.
Are you guys on the new radio?

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.

Sometimes I don't get calls.

Sometimes I don't get calls. Every now and then when my wife tries to call me her call doesn't show up on my phone. I have her on a custom ringtone and was wondering if this might be the problem? Right now I am on AOKP milestone 6, but I am pretty sure this is has happened on stock gingerbread as well. Any ideas?
My wife is on fascinate running rooted stock gingerbread if that makes any difference.

When you said you don't get calls, means in your wife side she's connected? or busy?
back then i have a similar problem, if my phone idle for sometimes, when someone want to call me they can't. busy tone on my side.but i still can surf the internet. if somehow i make a call or miscall or do an sms (my point is you make an outgoing connection), after that i can received incoming calls for some times and text to. let say that you have to trick the signal, OR the signal stuck in 3g mode (my assumption).
or maybe you can ask the provider . i believe its not the rom problem
what is your radio version? if you never updated past ED05 it that may be where the problem lies.
EH03...this hasn't really happened in a while and I am thinking it might have been something to do with Google Voice. I disconnected G-voice and am trying carrier vm instead to see if that solves it.

Always problems with phone calls....

Hey everyone,
I have a regular GS4 and haven't changed anything, stock firmware, stock rom, not rooted. So I have the problem when I have a phone call, after like 1 minute the person on the other side can't hear me anymore for like 3-4 seconds and this repeats every 3-5 minutes. First I thought its because I was in a building, but this happens everywhere and also with full signal strength.....so what is the problem?
Everything else works fine, but this is realy annoying because this is really on every call.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!
Strange problem, maybe it's network related? Try flashing another modem. Google modems for your model of Gs4
Sent from my GT-I9500 using Tapatalk 4 Beta
Please... DO NOT flash anything... Check if Your problem persist with Your SIM and another phone and Your phone and another SIM (from different network). If it's phone related - go to service and do not play with modems as it won't probably change anything.
Actually, yes. As slig said, if your phone isn't rooted then it's best to take it to your carrier or to samsung under warranty.

[Q] GS4 Dialing on its own

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

D800 Will not send SMS! Only receives!

Hello everyone. I would like to thank anyone who helps in advance, and also to the devs who work so hard.
Anyhow, the problem first surfaced on CM11 with a recent nightly. All of a sudden, my SMSes would not send. So I tried different apps, hangouts, stock SMS, gosms, etc. Nothing works, the message just times out.
Next I tried restoring my known good working rooted stock nandroid. It all of a sudden would not send SMS with that either! Then I tried wiping my entire device, and doing a clean flash of only the 12/17 CM11 and the newest PA Gapps, and I did not restore anything. Still not sending!!! Please help, did I break my device??
I doubt that you broke it so relax. Check your APN settings. Maybe restore original stock ROM and then reflash whatever you want. Before you wiped it all I would have tried Textra. Good luck.
This happened to me about two days ago, I was installing and reinstalling Paranoid Android on my AT&T LG G2 to the point where somehow I was unable to send SMS.
The funny thing is I could receive Texts & Picture messages from others, and I could send Picture messages BUT NOT send texts or reply to texts.
I tried other 3rd party messaging apps - I even went back to stock but my text messages wouldn't send! I went to my local AT&T store and they replaced my SIM card for free and everything was normal, even now it's working just great.
I even tried imputing the SMSC number again but i'd get an update error message.
Trust me I've tried everything and I couldn't get it to work, but I went to the AT&T store and all they did was switch my SIM card for a new one and everything was back to normal.

Dead sims, would also mean no signal to make a call as well maybe?

Yes, calls did come in and I could make calls. Data worked as well (still connected to LTE). Everything worked except mysteriously texts wouldn't send.
I wonder if it's something to do with flashing ROMS so many times to the point where we don't let the ROM settle or maybe certain ROMS 'embed' some file that confuses the SIM card to cause it to malfunction?
EFS

I really hope that it is the SIM and not my EFS, because when I restored to my known good Rooted stock Nandroid, EFS was included in that and it still didn't work. I have contacted AIO for a SIM but it's gonna be a few days. I wanted to get one anyway because I feel my cut-down SIM was negatively affecting my signal reception. I could be completely wrong in that, but still. I can do EVERYTHING except send SMS. So weird!

Is my SMSC supposed to have those extra numbers at the end? I even had AIO "refresh/provision" me to no avail. And while I was on the line with her, she wanted me to remove the 3 extra numbers. But they persist! I have included a photo so you can see what I mean.
Further (and less importantly), is anyone else having an issue with KK where the '*#*#4636#*#*' menu takes forever to show up after entering the code?
Thanks again to anyone who's made suggestions!

I got that too but I still was unable to sent text messages. I also tried erasing the numbers and just adding the SMSC without any extra numbers and I would get an Update error.
Right now, this is what I have on my phone (it's fixed and no issues sending or receiving)

Thank you for showing me that. However, unless you are also on Aio, I don't think ours should be the same. I'm awaiting a new SIM from Aio to rule that out, so I will report back after I try the new SIM.

One more thing... How do you get yours to stick on LTE/GSM/CDMA auto (PRL)? Whenever I set mine to that, it always reverts back to just LTE/GSM. Just wondering, I doubt it's related to my issue lol =)

Not too sure, I've never moved that option on my phone, it was like that when I went to the settings menu. Maybe it's set by network? Not too sure.
