problems staying connected to make calls/sms - Sprint Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I got my note 4 Thursday and rooted Friday night using the Tmobile auto root. Since then I am having problems making and receiving sms and calls. I am connected to wifi with no problems and can use regular data with no problems. I have AdBlocker Plus installed and thought that was the problem as I was also having the problem before I rooted. I have disabled ABP and still have the problem. Any ideas? I need my phone to actually work

I'm not rooted and I am having the same problems....using a landline I called mine and it went straight to voicemail. tried making a call and suddenly I was flooded with text I hadnt recieved all day.....Not too happy right now...

Are any of you on "spark"? I'm not rooted and I've missed a call and a few texts I've sent haven't gone through. Just got phone yesterday. My neighbor is on the s5 and has same issues with spark. Not rooted. Just curious.

what is "spark"? I wasn't having any problems with my note 2 prior to this. Since I did something to fix it this morning, I haven't had the problem. I have no idea if it's resolved or if whatever I did was just temporary. I've called from my other phone several times and have been getting texts since.

[Q]T-mobile Wifi-Calling and echo problems?

Just got the Samsung Galaxy S3 for T-mobile and have been experiencing a few strange issues with general call quality. About 2 or 3 mins into a call via wifi-calling, sound from the other side will just cut out. The call is still connected and I am then forced to hang-up and redial. This has happened already on 3 separate occasions. Calls off wifi-calling did not experience this issue albeit I could hear an echo of myself =(. Redialing and asking the other party to call me did not resolve the echo issue. The other party did not hear the echo.
Anyone else experiencing these types of issues or know of any fixes? Since it's only my first day with the phone, I'm hoping these are only fluke occurrences...
Yeap has happened to me calling out of town and in town numbers. Sounds like a dead line, and then when u talk u get an echo. I was advised by the people on the other line that they could hear me. This has happened while on the network due to I don't use Wi-Fi calling.

Anyone else have any wificalling issues?
My issue is more on loosing connection to the server while the phone is in asleep. the wifi connection is not lost just the connection to the server is lost and then my battery gets lost on locating connection.any ideas on that ?
I normally use wifi calling, but today at work and at home (so two different connections and two different routers) I tried to answer an incoming call, but the caller could not here me. I pressed the end button, and the dialer froze for about a minute before saying the dialer stopped responding and requested me to close it. Tested several more times before wiping my phone and reloading my rom fresh. Did the same thing afterwords. Then I turned off wifi calling and the normal network calling worked fine. Maybe a tmo server issue?

word for word same issues im having, also 2 different routers.:crying:
Although I am not certain if this problem exited before rooting and flashing my phone, my WiFi Calling has not been working. I can place the call, but I cannot hear it ring or hear anything when calling. I can receive calls, but once I answer, I cannot hear anything. I am able to receive text messages normally.
I have resorted to switching to the cellular preferred only option. I hope there will be a remedy for this issue.
I'm on the FreeGS3 R3 rom with stock kernal.

What Rom are you using? Im trying to conclude that the issue might be with the [ROM][GSM]{7.8.2012} Team Sonic Presents FreeGS3 R3 (Special FiveOhFox Edition).....I have noticed a few people in this thread have the issue using that ROM

I am running Whitehawks STOCK TVALUEM999 ROM with none of these issues. I am only on wifi as thats all I have available and I do not have an issues. It's possible that the removal of all the T-Mobile Bloatware, or some Mods done could be causing this. I have great battery life on that ROM and everything works fine. I am excited about this ROM, but am waiting to see another release come out and see how that works. ALSO, get ROM Manager, update to the newest CWM and try a data/dalvick cache, factory reset and install from zip from internal SD. Let me know how that works out
I use Wi-Fi calling exclusively when I'm at home. I'm rooted but still using Touchwiz.
I haven't had any echo problems. I think the quality overall is pretty bad though. For lack of being able to think of anything better atm, I'll just say it sounds rough. It was something that really bothered me at 1st, but I guess I'm kind of getting used to it. There are times I've thought the call was lost bc the call becomes so silent (clear and empty), but after a moment, I can hear them again and the call continues.
My husband switched over to T-Mobile about two weeks before I got the S3 and switched over from Verizon. While using the Wi-Fi calling, I've lost a call or two so far. My husband, who has an HTC One S, has also lost a call or two and he thinks the quality of his calls are fairly poor also.
I'm wondering if it's not necessarily a S3 thing, but perhaps a T-Mobile thing???
That being said... There are times he has full Wi-Fi bars and I have barely anything, and when I check the signal my laptop is getting, that's full as well. When I check the Battery from Settings, I always only have a yellow bar that is frequently dotted with sections of red.
The Wi-Fi issue, whatever the hell it is, is really the only bummer about the phone for me.

I am not sure if what to tell you, but I am in Afghanistan with the Samsung GS3 rooted, and I do not have a single issue with call quality with some of the crapiest internet connections you can ask for.. No echo, no dropped calls. Your internet connection quality can make a difference, when you make phone calls, any downloads going on can hinder the quality, also the type of router u have makes a difference. A wireless N router with 300MBS per second would be ideal...
It doesnt matter if your are using Touchwiz, the rom you are using matters, no other threads are stating this issue. I suggest you try another rom like redruM cause he just released a new update today, or Whitehaws STOCK. It performs great and has CIQ removed, zipalign on boot, some T-Mobile bloat removed, no force closes on any apps and good battery.. It doesn't have the crazy scripts and 4 in 1 reboot, however, if u dont care about that and you want stable and root, its a good option
According to T-Mobile technical support, they have escalated the issue of wifi-calling and wifi connectivity issues to Samsung and supposedly there is a team working on this. Supposedly they will be doing an over the air update.
it doesn't seem like a lot of us is having this problem, could it be the phone itself? i was fine until a couple of days ago. now i am having the same problems as some in this thread; i can hear them but they can't hear me. sometimes it freezes when i answer the call. now i'm thinking if rooting (phone is rooted only) was a probable cause, and if i should do a nandroid restore or system reset??
No wi-fi calling

TMo - GS3
My phone is and has not ever been Rooted. I'm having the same issue that when wi-fi calling is active, if I receive a call, the caller cannot hear me, and then the app. hangs for a minute when I hit end or the caller hangs up. I tried it on a couple networks. I thought I was able to make wi-fi calls, but that seems to not work all the time, either.
I believe this is the first TMo ICS phone, right? I had a 4.0.3 custom (Passion) ROM on my Vibrant (GS1), but since there wasn't ICS TMo phone, there was no wi-fi calling app. on it.
I called T-Mo support and told them I found this thread with other users with the same problem, but they didn't say anything was in the works. Samsung support gave me their usual answer, of doing a factory reset, reinstalling and reconfiguring everything (yeah right).
I get the hang sometimes and I also get the problem of people not being able to hear me when I pick up. Annoying. I got rid of my amaze after the ICS update because it screwed up wifi calling(delay in voice 5-10sec). Piss poor. Wish it worked better because I don't get a cell signal in my house.
To get rid of the voice echo - disable the noise cancelation during a phone call in the in call menu. The noise cancelation uses two mics but unfortunately picks up the noise of the speaker as well, causing the echo effect.
when i first got my s3 i had the wifi calling on and i'd miss calls. people said that it didn't even ring just went right to voice mail. on the occasion that a call actually went through people couldn't hear me and for me they cut in and out. i gave up and stopped using it.
when i bought the phone i was told that when on wifi calling the minutes didn't count against my plan, but reading the manual i got the impression that they did. which is correct?

You have to have them add the free WiFi calling feature to your plan and then they don't count. Just tell them you want your minutes on wifi to be free. There is no extra charge after they add that code.

Did any of you with the wifi calling problem install Skype? My first phone had the problem of no one hearing me and freezing when hanging up. I ended up returning it to Tmobile for another phone.
Right before I returned the old phone I did some testing. I flashed it back to stock and it didn't fix the problem, but when I wiped the data and cache in download mode, it seemed to help with the wifi calling, not sure how consistent it worked, but at least for the first call I can hear them and vice versa.
So I'm thinking something I installed may have played a factor, and right now my suspicion is that it's skype. I haven't installed it on my new phone since I don't want to screw the wifi calling on there.

[Q] Is wifi calling having problems??

Hi all, I don't know if it is my GS3 but wifi calling is not working rigth. It keeps disconnecting from time to time. Sometimes says its working and incoming calls are sent to voicemail without ringing, other times people say the phone didn't even ring and the call dropped. And sometimes the incoming calls came and the phone frezees when trying to answer it. And sometimes it just work fine...
The problem is that I had another GS3 which was working perfect but I cracked the screen and got another one (New), and this one started giving me those problems from the beggining. It was completely stock for a month after that I flashed a few ROMS and still had the problem. I tried searching online and found that other people are having the same issues and started complaining at the same time that I replaced my phome, so maybe its not the new phone?? And a tmobile problem?? I still have warranty on this one and can replace it again but first I would like to know if there are people that have the same problems or issues. Thanks in advance

The last few days mine has dropped every few minutes, the service itself not a call because it's so sketchy I'm not even brave enough to attempt a call. I've tried everything I've found online and no improvement. Tmo really needs to work their s**t out.
Thank you I guess its not my phone then. Thanks!

Same here!!!!!!!
Literally, in the last 5 minutes it's dropped and reconnected 3 or 4 times. I'm getting so frustrated with tmo. I wish they had email support because I really don't think I can keep my cool in real time.. it's just ridiculous.
It's been terrible since day one :/
can't anyone get to the bottom of the problem? i read somewhere that t-mobile decided to use a different platform for the wifi calls for some of the newer phones which includes the s3. i have no t-mobile coverage inside my house and depend on wifi calling. since i got my s3 my wifi calls drop repeatedly. it's completely unusable. we demand answers and a fix. i've found hundreds of users through google searches who've had this problem.
what's going on?
I noticed Skype 3.0 kept disappearing when WiFi calling would crash so I'm going back to 2.9 and pretending like it's gonna fix my problems. There's a HUGE thread in the GS forums over at tmo support this problem has been going on since our phones were released, and as far back as last year on other phones. They simply don't care enough to fix it.

Just spent the last hour trying to send a text..... WiFi on and off, restarted a few times. Tried WEP instead of WPA, set port forwarding on the router. This is CRAZY. It seems like the first two weeks (first month?) I had the phone it was ROCK SOLID but since then it's only gotten worse day by day. I can't believe this s**t. The person at the tmo store said you have to wait a year before a new customer can get a free signal booster, not that it'd even help....
I want to call or live chat but I am so pissed I honestly don't think I can act like an adult
Do any of you people with problems have Comcast voice? Could their VoIP be messing it up?? I tried to run another modem but Comcast wouldn't let me activate it... what a crappy night!
Hey guys. I tried wifi calling again today and it has been working perfect all day. No disconnection, all texts and calls enter without any problems. I'm just wondering if anyone else is still having problems with wifi calling.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
I could not get my Wifi Calling to function properly at work. Text works great, sending and receiving. My phone rings when I receive a call, but I cannot hear anything, neither does the caller. Similarly, when I dial a number, the other phone rings, but no audio is heard on either end. This only happens at a coroporate network, not at home or an open network such as hotels or restaurants. T-Mobile is supposedly aware of the problem but no solution is in the works.
A couple days ago MMS over WiFi broke. I tried every setting possible so I ODIN'd back to ICS without root and things were 100000x better. Still got a few disconnects but nowhere near as horrible. Then I did the OTA on tmos server to JB. Seemed a little less stable but still useable for texts. Rooted last night and still seems stable but a few extra disconnects.
One thing I've noticed on a few disconnects, I saw the connected to WiFi network bottom of screen notification pop up. The WiFi indicator stayed full bars so I'm not sure if it actually disconnected or that bottom screen pop up was just WiFi calling reenabling.
I think the WiFi in our phone is less than great. My router gives my PC a 300/300mbps link, on my phone it's 65/150mbps.
For me all the problems are resolved except mms. But no disconnects, texts and calls work great. Used it the whole weekend without one single problem. I havent done anything with the phone, Im using sonic resurrection 7.1.1 ROM. Maybe tmobile is fixing the problem, slowly but fixing it.

[Q] Text messages and calls not being received

I've been having a problem with receiving texts sometimes and I recently noticed that it happens with call apparently. The issue is that I'm texting people back and forth and then all of a sudden I wont receive messages for a long time (couple hours). At some point, someone's text message will push through all of the other ones all at the same time. Sometimes when I assume i'm having this issue, I will send a text to myself and it will push the other ones through as well. Recently though I was made aware that during this "outage", I also was not able to receive phone calls at all. The signal is strong at all times (3-4 bars). Also happens when I'm home all day and not changing locations when it will suddenly stop getting texts and calls. Does anyone know how to fix this issue? I restarted the phone and changed cell towers with the Airplane mode many times and the issue continues to happen at random times. It is really inconvenient. Suggestions?
Technical details: I use the stock 4.1.1 Rom that comes with AT&T S3. I do have LTE in my area.
And now it has happened 3 days in a row but at different times of day. This is a huge problem for me as I use my phone a lot. Any help would be appreciated

That's weird. Re-seat your SIM card, if that doesn't do anything then take a trip to your nearest AT&T store/dealer and have them swap out your SIM card and see if it still occurs after that.
I had a similar problem a while back and it happened to be a network problem with my carrier. Gave them a call and all is fine now.

It happend to me too. I went to att store and get new sim. No problem for last 15-20 days. Looks like i got stronger signal too.
Just to give anyone interested in this an update:
I went to the AT&T store today and told them my issue so they told me to go to the nearest AT&T device support center (which was really far away). People over there told me they heard about this issue many times over the past couple of months. The guy working there had a S3 and said he has the same problem. They received an email from the higher-ups this morning specifically talking about this random outage thing I have and that they are currently working on it. They were told to not exchange phones or sim cards because of this since it wont help. The issue involves a combination of Network and Jelly Bean software problems and happens on all new LTE devices that have Jelly Bean from AT&T. They told me to check periodically if there is a solution.
I guess I just gotta wait. Unless someone recommends a ROM that is not based on the latest AT&T jelly bean?
Bumping it up, both me and my wife have had this happen. From what im read its a pretty widespread deal.
Anyone know of a work around at least until they fix it?
Keep us updated
Same problem here - switched from Verizon to AT&T last month and started noticing this problem a few weeks ago. Back then a Google search didn't find much on it, but this thread looks promising.
Just to add my two cents: I'm on a rooted S3 with task650's AOKP (4.2.1) build 12.23.2012 (link). Made sure to flash the modem for my phone (I747UCLI5 from here). Problem: phone randomly won't receive calls or texts. Sometimes calling someone will fix it.
I read somewhere that on AT&T, calls and texts are received over 3G and sometimes phones have difficulty switching from 4G. Anyone know if this is true?
Do a full wipe /system, /data, /cache, /dalvik cache. And your problems should be gone 9 times out of 10 that's usually everybodys problem

I started a thread on this also and just yesterday received some info from AT&T tech.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2123974
guys,
it is an ATT issue,
here is a temp solution for a fix:
1) With phone on, take off back cover and press your SIM card so it releases from the spring. It won't come all the way out as it's blocked by the battery. This seems fine - I didn't bother trying to force it out as I didn't want to break anything...
2) Once you see the message that the SIM card is removed, go to the dialer and dial *#2263#
3) You should see a menu with band selections. The current setting is "Automatic". If you switch to "GSM All", you will be EDGE (2G). If you switch to "WCDMA All", you will be on HSPA+ (3G, though AT&T and others call it 4G).
4) Press the SIM card back into place until it clicks. For whatever reason the phone will not recognize it until you reboot. Upon reboot you should see your new setting in effect
please see, post, comment here:

[Q] Not able to make or receive calls

I have the galaxy note 2 for sprint rooted with synergy rom and perseus kernel. I am able to use data just fine but can not make or receive voice calls. Sprint has been able to temporarily fix the problem. I also did a backup and reset that fixed it temporarily. I have read that other users with rooted phones are having similar issues and even people without rooted phones are having problems with sprint's network. I can't tell if my issue is because my phone is rooted or because the galaxy note 2 on sprint is having issues. Should I just restore it to stock firmware?
I've had that issue as well. I was on a stock rooted ROM at the time. I restored the phone to stock, and still had the issue. I think my issue was Google Voice. I like it for voice mail. I didn't do the whole Sprint-Google Voice integration. Sprint had to remove Google Voice to fix it. It's lame. If you have Google Voice, it may be worth exploring.
Not sure what is causing this or how to fix it but i am experiencing the same thing on my whomp rom with the latest perseus kernel. This had happened to my last note 2 about 3 weeks ago so i had it replaced by a service center. It was working fine until last night. I was in a call and all of a sudden it lost signal, came back and when i tried calling, the call went through but i cannot hear anything, not on the headset, speaker or bluetooth.So im still not able to make or receive calls and dont know what to do lol.
called ffonsu
I erased my data 3 times, unrooted my phone and restored to factory. After I return from vacation I'll use Google voice and see if that's the problem. If not then I'll add the synergy rom. If it still works then I'll add perseus kernel. We could have all gotten bad downloads, but I'll investigate.
Any update on this problem my screen is cracked so sprint won't replace my phone or fix this problem. I also have no audio but only during outgoing or incoming calls.

I restored my phone to stock rom, re-rooted it and am now running mack's all star 5.0 with no problems. The problem may have been with the kernel because I did not reinstall perseus.

T-Mobile S4 Picture text issue (iPhone wont receive them)

Okay so i have a T-Mobile S4 it is now running 4.3, The phone was rooted and running the Google Edition custom rom on 4.2.2 when this issues started.
When i first rooted the phone and installed the Google Rom it worked fine, i could send pix to iphone and receive them from iphone (yes ive tested it with many iphone users and its always the same outcome) however a few weeks ago they stopped receiving any pic text i would send and i would receive theirs as well. I have tried this on wi-fi and just on my cellular network and it still doesnt work.
So last night i thought it might be due to the face i need to update to 4.3, so i un-root my phone, factory reset it so its back to 100% stock, update to 4.3 and im still having the same issue. It works fine with anyone using a Android device, but 90% of my friends and my GF have iphone so this is starting to piss me off...
any info would really help me out. and i didnt a search but nothing to the effect of my problem came up...
The problem is not with your phone, its because apple sucks.
