I'm having a strange issue with my nexus one. This started a few days ago. I can not call my brother's cell phone with it. It will ring once and than I hear a beep and it just closes the phone app. I have not had this problem with any other phone number and he can call me fine. Has anyone else seen this issue?
I'm on t-mobile and my phone is not rooted also.
Thanks,
Dave

to rule out other possibilites have you tried to call him from a different cell phone or land line?
I can call him fine from other cell phones and from land lines. It even works if I call him on my nexus one using google voice. I still haven't tried switching my sim card back to my g1 to see if that allows me to call him.
to narrow it down, delete him from the phonebook and try again.
maybe his entry is corrupt and the dialler crashes whe trying to display the incall info.
Tried that as well. I deleted him, called the number without saving it and got the same result.
Going one step further (though I would swap and test with your g1 first if you can) wipe the phone and try again.
Try:
Settings>call settings>additional settings>caller id>network default.
It looks like your brown has some sort of blocked number rejector on his phone.
Update: I fixed it. I finally was home today to play with both phones and somehow I was in the block list on his G1. He claims he didn't even know how he did that. Is there a shortcut or anything that he could have hit by accident or in his pocket?
Hey guys,
This is actually my first post here but I do A LOT of reading on this forum.
I didn't quite find anything regarding my question (or at least a solid answer), however, so I've decided to post it up.
Has anyone else experienced a sudden loss of data from time to time out of nowhere?
I go from having Full Green 3G bars to grey bars out of the blue. I've heard the green bars is to let you know that you are connected to Google services but I am not able to access anything that uses data.
For instance, when I open up the browser, I receive an error telling me there is no network connection. When I open up anything else that uses a data connection, Market, News, etc, I receive the same error about there not being a connection.
This would make sense if I was moving and going in and out of service areas, but it happens when the phone is simply sitting on my desk and not moving at all. I usually use it to listen to Pandora while at work and have noticed that the songs cut in and out due to this sudden loss of a data connection.
I went from a Nexus One to the Nexus S and have never, not once, lost my full 3G bars in this same exact location. I personally believe its a software bug of some kind and have high hopes for it being fixed in the future. The N1 had similar issues when it first launched and Google / T-Mo were able to remedy that for the most part.
I am actually on my third Nexus S because the first two had some type of hardware issue; the first one's back button didn't work or light up and the second one had a blown ear speaker and would sound like a blown speaker in a car. As an early adopter, I expected this, so it didn't bother me in the least bit.
ALL of them did the same thing, so I know it is not just limited to my exact phone. This is definitely something with the Nexus S in general (or the current build of Gingerbread).
Can anyone shine some light on this situation? Thanks in advance and keep up the great work here guys!
---------------------------------------------------------------
UPDATE: Here are a few steps that I have taken in order to solve my sudden loss of data issue. I'm not guaranteeing this will work for you, but it has worked for me and a couple of users here on the forum.
Do the following:
Activate / Use the Sim Card that came with the phone (this is to ensure you are using the latest sim cards)
Make sure you have a 4G internet plan. (No t-zones, No web2go -- FULL internet only)
Call T-Mobile and have ask them to Reset your phone with their Towers
Here's a more technical explanation posted by Johoja:
1) Having network selection set to manual ( i.e selecting 302490 or TMOBILE) will result in No Service on a reboot. Solutions: - Have to cycle airplane mode to get it to pick up service (can be done with automatically tasker) - OR Use automatic network selection. (you can force wcdma only but that will reset the SMSC which is annoying if you go in and out of wind away/home areas and you want to roam.)
2) Being in a area with no service for extended periods of time 5+minutes(subway, basement, etc) will result in a dead baseband, meaning once you come into an area with service the phone will not reacquire signal, airplane mode will not work as the baseband is now crashed, cant maunally search for a network. Have to reboot to get signal. Solutions: -Use tasker to cycle airplane mode on and off when in no service areas i.e) search signal 4 minutes, airplane mode on 10 minutes. This will keep the baseband from crashing and possibly save battery. -Use NoBars to accomplish thesamething ( taskergivesyou a bitmore flexibilty of course but harder to use) http://www.appbrain.com/app/nobars-b...omdryer.nobars - Use airplane edit to avoid turning wifi/bt off when airplane mode is on. http://www.appbrain.com/app/airplane...kalti.airplane
3) WCDMA perferred does not work. - No solution
http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Google+Mobile/thread?tid=747f398a6c1bb2b9&hl=en&start=40:
I read one users response on a different thread regarding something similar to the issue that I am having.
They said T-Mobile told them to get a newer sim card and that this may remedy the problem. In my case, this has been the only constant in the 3 phones that I have been through. I have had the same sim card for about 3 years or so now.
I will try activating the sim card that came in the box with T-Mo to see if this remedies the problem. Since I'm at work right now I will have to try when I get home later.
Does anyone think this will have any affect what-so-ever?
The galaxy s phones when first released, all variants, had issues of signal dropping from full to zero bars while sitting in one place. I remember because there were YouTube videos of it All over and it was shortly after the apple antenna issue.
Not sure if or how it was ever resolved. But it seems that Samsung may just have this type of radio baseband performance if we see all these individual units doing this. I don't know maybe others can respond.
I have the same issue as the OP. I travel to the same location weekly with NEXUS ONE, signal never drops in the T-MO Country here locally, and streaming CNET POD CAST never a hiccup, however, with the new NEXUS S, I would lose DATA Connection only, while the 3G will show full signal. I had to reboot the phone to get the DATA back.
is it the S issue or 2.3 issue?
food for though....
If you have T-zones or Web2go or Phones 1st web, you will have problems
I had the same problem too, now I fixed the problem. The thing was that had the wrong data plan on the NS, i had my old web plan from my hd2 which seems like different from the one for the NS. I restarted my phone after 5 mins off and now i have my internet working beautifly. A T-Mobile rep said that it was an error in the system that made the phone think that that was the right plan for the NS for a few. A glitch you may say, but all you have to do is put the right data plan that all, easy. Hope this helped and have a wonderful holidays everyone.

this is happening to me too, last night for a little while and today for about hte last 4 hours can't get connection back. i have full white bars, with 3g icon but can't access anything
So I activated the new sim card last night and I'm still having the same problem. Albeit it doesn't happen as frequent, but it still does it nonetheless.
I will call T-mo again to verify my plan. I am on a 1500 Minute Family Plan which includes unlimited data and messages. I will see if they need to tweak something and let you guys know if this remedies the problem.
Ok, it seems like the issue has been resolved after I spoke to T-Mobile earlier today.
The rep on the phone verified that the data plan I was on was in fact the correct one. He said he was going to reset the signal from the towers to my phone to see if this would resolve the issue. He asked me to turn my phone off for about 15 seconds after we hung up.
Since then, I haven't seen the problem arise again so my guess is that it somehow fixed whatever was going on.
I'll let you guys know if this changes and the problem occurs again.

What's with the CAPS? ?
On topic: i have a captivate and I can confirm that all galaxy S phones had droppend data. An official ota update fixes it so maybe you guys need to wait for something official. Isn't there a new firmware for the nexus S already? Try flashing that and see if you still have issues.

Doesn't every android phone from samsung have this problem?
I know the Moment has that problem, after 3 updates samsung called it quits, I still have to reboot mine 2 to 3 times a day for data lockups.
@timur525 Yea, I'm already on 2.3.1.
I manually updated the first hour it came out hoping that it would solve the issue. The problem was still there after the update.

I have exactly the same issue as the OP. Extremely annoying to reboot the phone every time it happens. One thing I have noticed is that my phone doesn't know its number. If I go to settings, about phone, the number says unknown.

That shouldn't affect anything. My number shows up in status.
I had this issue resolved a few months ago as the push-to-talk app Tikl requires this in order to use it.
I was having the problem even with my number showing up. Call T-Mobile and have them reset you with the towers like they did for me and see if that helps you too.

I posted about this same issue on wrong section of the forum. Ive had this issue ever since samsung vibrant. I have applanet installed on my phone and some of the app that i installed accessed my apn and totally changed my apn setting to "Sirious application disabled.epc.tmobile" or something like that so i wyped everthing off from the phone and so far i havent had the issue ever since yesterday. Also i had the locale and language setting to korean so im thinking that might be causing it also.

That's what I remember too. I think its just an issue with the radio Samsung uses in all their phones. Might not be a way to fix it if even their new phones like the nexus s still have this issue. They prob would have tweakdd it by now if they could.
Same problem here. Xmas eve on shift and I have a phone that had no connection whatsoever (not even phone capabilities) this may be the one thing that takes the phone back. (If it happens again)

Have you called T-Mobile to see if they can give you a reset to the towers?
I had this done yesterday afternoon and haven't had the problem again since.
Also, if you'really using an old sim, I would suggest activating the one the phone came with just to be on the safe side.
If that doesn't help you then I would at least wait until just before your return period ends to see if there will be an update to address the issue.

The minute I turn on my 3g any normal voice calls made from my phone gets disconnected within a second.
If I switch to Wifi / 2g the issue is solved!
I have tried Settings - Call Settings - Additional settings - Caller ID but the option of caller id itself is unselectable!! I have read many people saying to select caller ID and set network default fixing the problem but on my phone it is unselectable!
Please advice on how I can fix this problem! Thank you

No I am running stock 2.3.6 and havent done any updates since I got my phone 6 months back! The problem is still not resolved!
I beleive it is a problem with my carrier Airtel as they say that there is 3g upgradation going on in my area. But I still face this problem all around Bangalore!! I cant understand what is the major cause of this problem! I have used my sim in my friends Sony Ericsson Arc and there is no issue whatsoever! Im still waiting for a solution. Please lemme know if you find anything as well! Tx
I don't think its a problem with airtel because I'm facing this problem with vodafone, I m facing the same problem with airtel sim also in the same handset however same sims are working fine with other handsets.
Initially vodafone told it might be a problem in their network but after checking they confirmed that there is no issue with their network.
I feel its an issue with phone itself but know its related to hardware or software. Factory reset also didn't work, tried all possible ways that I could think of including replacing sim but no lucktill now.
I took phone to motorola service too, all they could suggest was to replace sim and factory reset which I've already done, only solution left is to give the phone for checking and they need 2 days to check if any fault is there.
Did your phone always had this problem or started recently? Do u remember making any settings in phone before this problem started?

You're right.. I guessed the same! Well this phone has been giving me this problem since January of this yr. Before that it was perfect! I cant remember making any changes in the settings. I have also done a factory reset but the issue isnt solved. I cant understand what to do now?! this really is getting irritating cause every time i have to make a call i switch off the Data using toggles widget and turn on again once done. I cant do this forever. Even the calls which I get from someone else gets cut in a second and appears as a missed call. I desperately need someone to suggest a cure for this!
Do let me know if you have made any setting changes recently . I ll try to remember if there is any common changes we have made and try to find a solution for this.

I also want to state that when my 3g was on before the issue began it used to be displayed as H - meaning high speed internet. Since the day I ve been facing this problem the H symbol changes to 3G - once this transition takes place immediately call gets dropped. I ve never seen the 3G being displayed before the problem.
Question: Does the 3G have to be switched off automatically once a call is made? Like for eg. if you re connected on wifi, even when you are in a call the wifi is still on and active in the background.
Is the 3G supposed to switch off automatically once a call is made just like it does when in 2g??
Some of the things I remember which happened before this problem started are:
1) I updated the firmware.
2) I kept a heavy bag on my phone by mistake.
3) I changed the phone's battery, I'm now using the an extended battery bought from eBay.
4) I changed the screen guard, using a matte finish guard now. (wondering if the solvents that they use while fixing the screen guard have any impact on this)
5) I started using the application Team Viewer a lot to operate my home laptop from office.
I've mentioned everything that I could think of, is any of this matching with you?
Its was a very good handset till this problem started, I don't want to buy a new phone just to fix this problem.
One more thing I observed is that this problem has increased over time, initially when this came to my notice 50% of the calls got cut while using 3g, but now all calls are dropped while using 3g.
The calls - both incoming and outgoing are working fine even if 3g is on but no data is being transfered. Once the call is connected 3g works fine. The problem is only in starting/initiating the call while 3g data transfer is happening once the call is connected 3g is fine.
Regarding my usage:
I've been using this phone very roughly from past one n half year, I use it regularly to download using both wi fi n 3g, I listen to music everyday using bluetooth n also watch many movies on my phone itself.
In short usage is very high n rough.
Could it be a wear n tear damage because of this?
Pls let me know if any of the mentioned points match with you which will help us locate the reason for the problem.

Well Sry but nothing in common! For me since the beginning of the problem, 100% of the calls are getting dropped! its been a month now. Do you face this problem in a specific area or all over town? Ive searched a lotta forums for an answer but to no avail! I dont know if rooting the phone will help!?!?! but that is my next step. Did you try going to Settings<Wifi and Networks<Mobile networks and selecting 3G only? FOr me the problem persists but i guess you should try this.
Hmm, problem is all over the town.
I've also selected 3g only in settings.
Even I'm thinking of rooting my phone but I'm afraid I'll brick my phone.

Same problem
I am EXACTLY facing the same problem. I have an AirTel sim and I don't remember from this problem got started. I tried restoring factory setting, flashing the phone in authorized service center and nothing helped. I was about to install custom ROM and just read this thread in the forum. I will wait for some more time to see if any of you is lucky enough to find a solution for it.
As a temporary workaround, I have changed the GPRS to 2G and its working now. In 3G, if I try making calls, the data connectivity will not be cancelled, but in 2G, as soon as you hit the green button, the data will be cancelled.
Please reply if you find any solution for it. Thank you!

1) Does anyone of you NOT use motoblur Account????
2) Does anyone of you NOT use google account in your phone?
I think the solution lies in the questions above. If you use either one, the problem will persist. Try to factory reset your phone and skip log in Motoblur and Skip google account sync. The problem should be solved.
No luck
As suggested by you, I did a factory reset and tried making call without adding Google account and it didn't workout. I had the same problem. I even tried adding another Google account (after wiping data) and same problem. I lost hope
I am gonna use my mobile with 2G only till someone finds a permanent solution.
Thanks for your help!
Hi All,
I'm currently using Straight Talk with ATT SIM. Everything was working fine. I updated the software to 4.2.2 on Sunday. It didn't come OTA so I updated by going to Google Services Framework, clear data, then force stop. After a reboot, the OTA 4.2.2. showed up and I updated then.
Now, I am realizing that I cannot make or receive calls at all. Phone shows signal strength at 100% (4 bars) but when dialing, it does not go through, just silence, then a beep, then ends call.
I have tried rebooting phones, pulling SIM card out and replacing (twice) all with no luck.
HELP!!
Edit: I just realized I don't have internet connection either.

I was on the same situation a couple days ago. after flashing 4.2.2, I can still make a call, people can still call me, but no sound from either me or them. The micros work fine (you can check by Voice Search).
At that time, after I ended messing everything up, I restocked the phone to 4.2.1. Everything worked fine after then. I dont know why this happens. You may wait for another solution. Just let you know that a restock can fix it, so dont worry. However I dont encounrage it becuase it wipes your phone completly.

Thanks for your reply. Yeah, I would like a solution that doesn't require complete wipe of phone.
So frustrating...been unable to use phone all day. Who knows how many calls I've missed.

In case you have no choice, back up your phone by Titanium backup. That saves everything you have at the moment
Same issue after 4.2.2 update
I'm having the exact same issue with my Nexus 4. Let me elaborate. I've had my Nexus 4 since the initial sale, today I got the OTA update sent via Tmobile. My phone seemed to work fine afterwards until I tried to answer a call. Upon attempting to answer or make a call (even with full service) the bars instantly drop to zero (hollow triangle) and an out-of-area tone & message display.
Restarted, pulled sim, sim worked fine in other phone, checked & rechecked APN/other settings, had Tmobile "reset" my device on network, finally wiped my device. I still can not make or receive phone calls. The radio seems to just disconnect when attempting to.
Spoke with Tmobile customer support (worthless), Tech Care (Very helpful & knowledgeable but no fix), Google Nexus support (Offered to replace device! However can't have any cosmetic damage). LG also contacted but zero assistance given.
I'm stumped, it seems to me that this issue might be related to the update disabling the LTE radio, because data & everything else works except for making calls. Like I said, Google offered to replace the device however I did (in good faith) advise them of a hairline crack on the back of the device, like many other N4 owners have had, not from a drop. Upon hearing of cosmetic damage they said that it's no longer their liability. I'm very disappointed but I understand.
Since the warranty is void from the crack, I'm going to root & play around.
Any questions or advice?

Also, I'm on the same radio (Baseband?) as OP.

I'm curious to see if rooting will solve this issue. If yes, I will go this route.
Keep me posted. So frustrated.
Thanks johnmedic.
I'm having a constant problem with my phone. It seems like any time I leave the house and return, I'm unable to make or receive calls, until I reboot or switch airplane mode on/off. I still receive and send text/mms just fine, it's only calls. Anyone experience anything similar or have any ideas what may be going on? I have a constant 3-4 bar LTE signal.

Same problem
I am also experiencing this problem. I can send texts and otherwise use data to connect to websites and such, but cannot make or receive calls. When someone calls me, it goes straight to voicemail. When I make a call it does not even start ringing, or beep at the start of a call to indicate the connection.
I had this issue when i first got my phone. i had to call verizon and they updated something on their side and reset a few things.

Part of me thinks this wouldn't be a bad thing to have, just in case that pesky Ex decides today is the day she wants to call you. lolz
Nothing Worked
If anyone else is facing this problem, I would like to say that all Verizon could do was send me a refurbished phone. Even after a factory reset and resetting the network (on their end) worked. I hope this problem doesn't affect too many people.
Same issue - S5 will not make/recv calls

I'm now having this problem with my 2-week-old S5. Has anyone found a resolution?

I had an issue with my S5 connecting to 4GLTE (Because of something stupid I did playing around). Chat give Verizon a ring (or chat with them on their website) and they will have you do the following:
1. Turn off WiFi.
2. Power down your phone
3. They will resync the signal (and do other secret things)
4. Power up your phone.
5. Your phone will reconnect to 4GLTE, the radio will then recycle, then connect back.
I've had zero issues since I did this a few days ago. Wouldn't hurt to try. Have your IMEI number ready for them incase they need it.
Solution, sort of

Didn't work for me unfortunately. I ended up going back to Costco and swapping it out for a new one. Back in business....for now. Thanks for the help.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S5, 4G LTE, Verizon it can make calls and send text fine the problem is that it cannot receive calls and text. Grateful your assistance in resolving this issue.
I haven't had the issue for a while but I had to get a new phone from Verizon .
