Heh, I'm hoping someone on here will have some idea of what has gone wrong with my XDA Exec.
Just dragged it out of storage, unlocked it, upgraded the radio to 1.15 and the phone to WM6, but for some reason, it won't make or receive phone calls.
Now the phone picks up a signal (GSM & 3G) just fine with all the card's I've tried in it, and it will send a text message as well, but whenever you try to make a phone call, it disconnects the call.
Anyone got any idea's on what might be the problem here, and how I'd go about fixing it? Your help is much appreciated.
Are you on vodafone?
Personally I'm on t-mobile, but it shows the same behaviour with o2, Orange, T-Mobile and vodafone sim cards. I've tried em all, they all send text messages, but no phone calls can be made.
As I said - bizarre

No dice, normal calls and emergency calls remain impossible to make

have you confirmed that the text messages are actually being sent, i have seen a case similar and it turned out the IMEI numer was blocked
You know I never thought of that, but yeah I sent my other phone a text message and it went through. Sold it now, so not my problem, but an intersting problem.

well done, mate
I'm on TMobile UK and have used the Touch 3G on this network since May. Earlier today I lost the ability to successfuly dial out and people have difficulty making calls to me. When someone rings me, my phone rings once and then cuts off, leaving me with a missed call. However, at their end, they get a busy tone or a "you have dialled an incorrect number". I can still receive and send SMS and connect to the web though.
Grateful for any advice
It could be due to your service provider temporary network problem in the cell area where you are.

I agree with you.
hi
or try doing a hard rest
Note : when u do a hard rest u loose all ur data so back up ur data before doing the same

If the problem still exists you should soft-reset your phone first.
This often solves "hanging" of drivers/programs.
Only if this does not help you should think of an hard-reset (data-loss!).
First of all you should call your provider and ask for known network-problems.
Wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction here. First off, I am an AT&T customer who is trying to get the DVP to work on their network. I bought an unlock code off of ebay (which seemed to work), but I cannot make/receive any phone calls. I can get Edge to work just fine and can make and receive text messages but all of my phone end almost as soon as I start them. And if I try to call the phone from my land line its immediately directed to voicemail.
On a side note, I have tried multiple AT&T sim cards and all have the same result. I also tried a co-workers tmobile sim and everything worked like a charm, so I know the phone isn't broken.
Any suggestions?

Can you try turning off 3G if its available as a option?
3G is an option but turning it on/off makes no difference on the phone side of things.
Could the unlock code that I received cause an issue like this? Is there anything in the EM app that could assist in what is going wrong? It makes no sense to me that I can send/receive text messages but I can't make phone calls.
Can u rest the phone and see if it helps?. Also try manually selecting the network.
The reset doesn't seem to help unfortunately. How do you go about manually selecting a network on the DVP? Is that in the EM app?

No, it should be as a option in the settings->cellular.
Does it even show the network that the device is current on?
It does show its on AT&T, but there is no option to change it I can see. I also configured the APN at the bottom to wap.cingular, but that didn't fix the phone issue.
BTW, appreciate your help on this! I am willing to try anything at this point.
Well, APN has nothing to do with Phone call. I think its just for text messages.
Ok..Here is how you do manual selection using AT command. Do this only if you are comfortable and don't blame me for any screw-up
Go to EM App->Protocol(password 6336#)->TMO->AT Command
No click the input field and type the following(at is automatically populated).
Manually search for the network:
AT+COPS=?
The above command will list all the available network. Once you do that, take a clear pic or write it down exactly and post it here. I will then give the formatted command to register it manually.
APN is for wireless internet access.

I'm a coworker of the OP and here's what we got when we entered that command (formatted as it appears in the window):
+COPS:
(2,"Cingular","Cingular","310410",0),
(1,"Voicestream
Wire","VSTREAM","310260",2),
(1,"Voicestream

Here is the formatted command(for ATT Sim Cards):
AT+COPS=1,2,"310410"
Let me know what is the output and if it succeeds.
To be honest, I didn't even know that this was possible for the DVP yet. I've asked for unlock codes from T-Mobile every month that I've had the device (first attempt January 7th) to no avail.

Entered this in and it returned OK.
It did not enable us to make/receive calls though. It still acts like it's going to dial and just ends abruptly, and calls made to the phone still go straight to voicemail.
Also, just for fun I tried dialing using ATDT and a number and it returned NO CARRIER. Not sure if that will help narrow this down or anything.

I am facing the same issue. Using Unlocked Dell Venue Pro in India - worked wonderfully for a week, and then stopped making calls. my Problem is different. i can receive calls, send receive SMS and browse the internet (on 3G )as well. But Cant make outgoing calls.
Out of curiosity, those that have problems -
1. did u unlock using the AT command?
2. After unlocking, did u change/try changing sim cards (even if its from the same carrier)?

First off, thanks again for your help on this.
1. The unlock code was purchased from some website and when the AT&T SIM was inserted, it prompted for a code. So no, did not originally use the AT command. Is there a way to relock and try this process again?
2. Yeah, we tried a few different AT&T sim cards with the same result. We tried another T-Mobile sim and that worked perfectly.

In settings,,,,security,,,,there is an option "sim change alert"
If this was set with a sim it will send a text every time the phone is restarted with a different sim.

I lose Rs1.2 every time I press reboot. I use iBall Andi 4Di plus with android. Rs 1.2 is my sms charge on BSNL sim. Every time I press reboot, the phone reboots and after a minute of rebooting, I get a message from bsnl saying last call cost was Rs 1.2 and my total remaining balance. I've lost about Rs 20 so far (which is not a big amount). But, what concerns me more is the audacious sms sending by phone. Somebody help

I think certain India test/STOCK ROMs in the past (I have seen that problem on a i9300 ROM like one year ago) send after (first?) reboot a SMS to an office of Samsung India - something which I believe is deeply stupid - so you might want to give them a call. And let people know more if you learn something new on that matter from Samsung India.

It's due to some bloatware on your phone.
To find which one cause the issue, install App Ops Starter, switch to Messaging tab and you will see which app send an SMS
change csc code
This is not a bug...it's some kind of checking by samsung in indian firmwares..this is very annoying and i faced this in my samsung galaxy y duos...to disable this, you just need to change the csc codes from india to some other countries. type *272*your imei number# and select anything except INU and INS and click install...your phone will reboot...please note that this will factory reset the phone...so backup the data...from now on, no auto sms and balance deduction...
note: i'm not sure that the above said code will work on note...if it's not working, search "how to change csc code" in google...you will find other methods to do it...the above said procedure applies to all samsung devices....
hello,
it is some app you have installed to the ROM after rooting your device like an anti-theft software. its main function is set as" everytime you reboot the device, your phone sends as sms to a predefined mobile number".
solution: you have t flash a new ROM or the stock ROM again. the current ROM you are having right now is already infected with it. Either you install Titanium Back up and then check out one by one what that suspicious app might be and delete or you are to get a stock ROM for your device and flash it. Simple formating by CWM would not help as it will delete only the apps which you have installed and not the ones in your root.
hope this helps.
it's the firmware, not apps..
vickylahkarbytes said:
hello,
it is some app you have installed to the ROM
you are wrong...this is not caused by apps or virus infection...it's the stock indian firmware...samsung is registering the device by sending sms...u just need to change to another country...no need to flash another rom...read my above post...

Hi.
I am having a problem with my network connectivity. I get the "Emergency calls only" message in the notification bar and I am unable to make or receive phone calls or messages. Wifi works though. When I restart my phone, I have connectivity for about 30 seconds before it disappears again. I have done a factory reset and upgraded to the marshmallow firmware, but nothing worked. My sim card works in another phone, but with another sim card in my P8, I get the same issues.
I am someone that always tries to fix something before throwing it away, but this repair might just be beyond my skills.
Does anybody know what the problem might be? Any assistance will be highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance

No. I have had it for a few months and it was working perfectly until Friday.
And I also don't have a guarantee, as I am not the first owner of the phone.
