My phone will switch itself off when in standby mode from time to time and it's a pain in the neck. I don't know if that's related to the main issue.
I can't receive incoming calls for periods of time, but I can still receive voicemail alerts. Yesterday, I was just picking up voicemail after voicemail. On top of this, intermittantly I won't get an incoming phone call notification, just the missed call icon afterwards.
I'm currently running Black 2.0 with Radio 1.38.00.10. Anyone got any ideas?
I suspect your phone is going into HSDPA mode and the network is not letting calls through during that time. I had the same problem on my non-operator bought phone with my provider 3-Sweden until I installed their extended ROM. If your operator hasn't offered a solution, you could try getting HTweakC and turning HSDPA off (this still allows regular 3G connections, which do allow incoming calls regardless).
I have a similar problem...
except mine has gone into this mode of operation permanently.
I'm running Black Satin & a radio ver 1.48 When I receive a call, the signal strength icon drops out & goes searching meanwhile the call is diverted to message box. My outgoing calls work fine as does both out & incoming SMS messages. I've tried changing swapping my sim card but it still does it with the different Sim. I've tried reflashing the roms & hard booting but the problem persists. I don't know whether this is a hardware issue or whether the firmware isn't working correctly with my operator vodafone NZ
it looks like the No Internet Calling Account issue is back on the M8. I am able to place calls if I dial the number fine via Wi-Fi calling, however when attempting to place a call from a contact card it gives the "There are no Internet Calling Accounts" error.
Incoming calls go straight to VM, SMS and MMS work.
Changing the settings from "Wi-Fi Preferred" to "Cell Network Preferred" result in me dropping WiFi Calling and it not coming back, I don't have strong enough signal to use my phone on Cell Network
Any suggestions or ideas how to make this work?
This appears to only be affecting my contacts, I can place calls from contacts in Touchdown and numbers that I dialed without an issue. Also is happening when I have wifi calling disabled for contacts, I am able to receive calls now though
Any solution to this? I am having the same problem
I use a i9192, with 2 SIMs:
SIM1 is GSM, voice only.
SIM2 is dual mode (WCDMA-GSM), data unlimited (and data only, no voice service) and often sharing as a wifi hot-spot
SIM1 never rings on incoming calls. The calls go straigth to the answering machine.
SIM1 can do outgoing calls.
Can anybody help me receive calls ?
Got it. I was not used to the Samsung dialer...
In the call settings, I turned the Call rejection -> auto reject mode to Off.
It works fine now.
Like a lot of Sprint customers, I live in an area with horrible reception. Even my S6 struggles to hold onto calls sometimes. So for me, finding out that Hangouts could provide VoIP for my phone and solve my texting / calling problems was a big deal. However, as I soon learned, Hangouts.. has issues. I can send / receive SMS just fine, and send pictures, but I don't receive any sort of MMS messages at all (Group, or picture messages). I'm way too stubborn to give up the ability to make calls without standing on my roof, so I managed to come up with a little bit of a work around that does the trick for me. It's nothing complicated, and people may already be doing this anyway, but I thought I would mention it (I've been Googling Hangouts Issues for the last few days and haven't found anything useful besides the APN settings in Hangouts 2.5, and those didn't even work for me).
This setup assumes that:
You have Sprint (or another carrier with Voice/Hangouts integration).
Your Google Voice number is the same as your carrier number.
You still have the stock messaging app.
You're not a fan of the native WiFi calling on the Sprint network, and would rather use Hangouts.
1) Setup the Hangouts integration like normal, so you're able to send / get SMS through the Hangouts app.
2) Set the stock messaging app as your default SMS program.
That's it. Like I said, I'm sure someone has figured this out / is using this setup, but it allows a few things:
Texts and calls are still made on Google Voice (you should be able to send out MMS from Hangouts, too)
All MMS are received through the stock app, which, frustratingly enough, is the only one that seems to work for me.
A bit long winded, but hopefully this helps at least one person who's in the middle of nowhere like me.
TL;DR: Like Hangouts? Hate native WiFi calling? Use your stock messaging app for receiving MMS and group chat, Hangouts for texting and sending pictures, profit.
Update for Hangouts 4: If you want the Group MMS feature to work with Hangouts 4, you have to turn off Sprint Integration (Unlink Voice and your mobile number, and create a new independent Google Voice number.) After doing this, you'll be able to group text on Google Voice with your voice number. I'd also like to find a way to forward texts from my carrier number to my Voice number, but as of right now I think that's impossible.
Edit 1: Turns out the "lock text" feature has nothing to do with private mode; it prevents deletion of certain texts.
I believe in order for Hangouts to send and receive you need a data connection. But you do not for standard text messaging...correct?

Hangouts can send messages over data, or even WiFi. Standard text messaging needs the cell network.
When using only the cell network where I have bad signal: I drop calls, MMS/SMS will send and receive semi reliably.
When using Hangouts in conjunction to the cell network, with WiFi: Clear calls that don't drop (over google voice), MMS / SMS send almost instantly, send/receive SMS on any phone with my hangouts account (as well as in Gmail), MMS is received semi reliably over the cell network. All this is done with my normal phone number (because of the google voice integration).

But what i am saying is, without a data or WiFi connection then texting through Hangouts becomes just as unreliable as texting with spotty or no cell coverage.
Well yes. That being said, the reason I made the post is because I rarely have a reliable data connection at home, but the WiFi always works. There are also a lot of places where Sprint is spotty or has no coverage where there's WiFi. By using Hangouts to text / make calls over WiFi, I'm able to save myself the headache of dropped calls in those spots. Now of course Hangouts can't fix anything if there's no signal AND you have no WiFi.
I can't get notifications on the band from Whatsapp calls, it works for every other app.
Do you have? Is there a way to receive them?
