[Q] Phone Disconnection - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Does any one face the following problem, it happens almost Daily at least once:
when i receive a phone call, the SLIDE to ANSWER or Pressing the home button ( i set home button to answer calls) does not Answer the call... the CALL is left in the background and i can not either Talk or even End the call!!!
i have to reboot to make a call afterwards!
i flashed KE2, 7 & and now 8 with no difference. i even Flashed the RADIO from the very ORIGINAL stock and no LUCK either...

seems only you and me dear in this issue... so lets share and try to find what is causing this problem..
do you use any profiles app. or task management app, etc.?

Im on Samsung Omnia 7 and my phone have issues with incoming calls. I get silence when i answer. And my friend just bought Samsung Galaxy SII and he have the same problem. It only happens when you use a specefic carrier and it only happens when your in a weak signal area.
Also notecing a lot of internet connection, bandwith changing. Its all over the place all the time. Edge, 3g, 3g+ .. i belive on Android it says HSPA and HSPA +. But it seems its the sma problems with all Samsung devices thats new.

So sometimes when I'm connected trough wifi my whatsapp won't send or receive messages. I then have to turn off my wifi , receive/send all messages and turn on wifi before it will work again. Does anyone have an idea?..

WHAT firmware and what version of whatsapp are you using?
Is your wifi kicking out a good signal?

I have the exact same thing, no matter what Rom, firmware, kernel, version of Whatsapp, router, modem, whatsoever. It sometimes just happens, no idea why.
When this happens I have a good signal. I'm on 2.3.6, and have the latest whatsapp version.

What did the Whatsapp developers say when you contacted them?
yeah these issues still exist... got it now on my device.
got I9100 on latest cm10 nightly (8th Sept.) with latest whatsapp version. and if you read all comments on the market you'll see that many ppl got these problems. sad
same issue here with i9300 stock ics
it works only on mobile data and when i turn the wifi on Whatsapp doesn't work
tired of deleting and reinstalling but same issue !!!
BTW my device is not rooted ..
i have been using what's app for good 4-5 months now and today i just got this issue. whats app won't work on wifi unless i turn it off and turn 4g on. i tried uninstalling and deleting the folder and did a clean install. it still won't work.
Just hit me last night
Got the same prob since last night!!!
tired to uninstall and reinstall it + boot my device million times and still won't work over wifi but my damn slow edge network!!
i have sent a email to whatsapp costumer's service and still waiting for their reply
These are issues related to the whatsapp Servers or sth. For me it works again. Without reinstall and so on. Just wait ... and tell them bout the problems
I've had this same problem for at least 6 months... doesn't work on WiFi but is fine on data...
What seems to happen is when you turn on WiFi it works fine for a while... but then stops getting or sending messages completely... just sometimes randomly it may start working again... say if you have lots of messages backed up to receive... at times it may start working again... but that means asking you people to bombard you with messages and still its not a sure shot solution...
Quite annoying I must say... especially considering reception is really bad in lots of areas and WiFi is the only way...
WIFI Whatsapp
Sort of same problem here, when i am on wifi and whatsapp and my phone is on there is no problem receive and send.
But when the phone is on standby after 10 to 15 min no more messages receiving, wifi is on.
when i turn the phone on and open whatsapp the messages pop in....
On data without wifi no problem.
WIFI setting always on.
Same problem buy not consistent. I have found a kind of fix, if your rom supports it, I use the long press back to force close function, then restart usually solves it. Alternately, pressing home, then swiping it off the task switcher sometimes helps too. Sometimes all you have to do is wait it out.
Was this problem solved in any of the updates. It appears as though I'm having this problem on one of my phones. It's the stock ROM with great wifi signal.
EDIT: I realize this is the S2 forum and my problem is an the optimus, but I am inclined to believe this is a whatsapp problem

The same problem started happening in the past couple of days. I a using CM 9.1. I enabled the Kill Application on long press of back button and you're right--After I did that and launched WhatsApp, the waiting messages (with the clock icon) went through and I got a check mark, then two.
Weird. All the other apps are working fine with Wi-Fi.
Same problem on my HTC sensation

I travel a lot and i was in India Last week and this week i am back in germany and it suddenly stopped working on saturday.
Any Solutions would be really appreciated.
Try this! Worked for me !!
I used VPN which worked for me . But i wanted a permanent solution. So I upgraded the modem firmware. Now it is working fine
Sorry to post here, but Im facing the same problem on my galaxy s5. I've tried a lot of things and nothing seems to fix it. I've changed my wifi router and the problem persists.
anyone came with a solution?
The problem is on the wifi router. I changue my router two days ago and i hadnt no problem with the old one.
If you retry to download pictures, it gonna works, but its really slow. Try to changue your wifi router to a newone
***********SOLUTION*****************
Guys,
I have also faced the same problem and here is the solution:
There is a Problem which started on 10th November. BSNL has blocked whatsapp.. BSNL users can not use whatsapp through wifi or dongle.
But there is a solution for this.. :
Install " vpn one click" or "Easy Surf VPN" app
Connect to India server
Or any country
Once ur done with this, u can use whatsapp and all the other sites blocked by BSNL
Enjoy Whatsapping

Galaxy s2 switch 3g/2g voice drop issue! :(

Hi everybody.
Got my brand new GS2 and I have this problem.
When I make a phone calls, after few second, the phone switch between 3G and 2G (and this is normal, all my phones do this).
What is not normal is that this switch between 3g and 2g causes a 1/1.5 second voice drop, so that I often miss the "hello" or the first words of the other person talking to me, and I always have to ask people to repeat what they've said. Very, very annoying if you receive 10-15 calls every day.
I've tested a Nokia N86, Nokia C3-01, a SonyEricsson, and all of them do the 3G/2G switch immediately after a make a call, but it's instantaneous and I don't miss a single word.
Tested other phones/sim card/areas and the GS2 seems to be the only phone that switch 3G to 2G so slow.
I've 2.3.4 (last available in my country) and Vodafone, and no other issue apart this though.
Any help please?
nobody?
From your network settings, set it to GSM only and see if it still happens. If it does it may not be related to the switch.
Sent from my GT-I9100
I've tried it. If I force the phone to 2G of 3G this doesn't happen. But I have to keep the phone in dual mode, is necessary to me.
The issue is certainly related to the 2G/3G switch, I can see it watching the signal bars in the upper part of the display.
i also had a problem with internet and calls.
Whenever i made a call, my h+/3g changed to g (i dont even know what that is, edge?)
after the phonecall it stayed on g unstill i restarted or went into airplane mode which really sucked!!!
But this is how i fixed it, and it might also fix your problem: download greenpower and let greenpower disable the internet while you make a phonecall!! Now i have no problems anymore
If you have rooted, flashing new rom could fix your problem

Can't receive calls while downloading from Market. MIUI-2.1.13, SiyahKernel

Just flashed MIUI-2.1.13 after having experimented with UnNamed. As per topic title, I'm using the latest SiyahKernel. Aside from the custom kernel and flashing MIUI, I haven't customized anything. I don't really know much of anything about modems at this point, so I haven't bothered to mess with them yet.
Since I just flashed, I'm downloading my apps through the web-based marketplace. Normally I'd use MyBackup Pro or some other backup/restore app, but sometimes the apps won't work when I install them that way; they will repeatedly force close. I'm downloading and installing from my computer to my phone because I live in a 2g area, and the Market app will always timeout, so I can't use it.
I can receive calls normally when I'm not downloading an app, but if I am, my phone will neither ring, nor show any evidence that someone tried to call me. I can make calls, but not receive them.
Once I get all my apps back on my phone, this won't be much of an issue as I won't be downloading a bunch of apps at once. For now, however, I would hate to miss a phone call because I'm putting some apps on my phone. And since it takes forever over EDGE (no, I don't have wifi in my room), it creates a pretty big window of time where I can't receive calls.
I searched and didn't find anyone else with this problem, so I'm not sure what to do. Rebooting hasn't helped anything either, so that's out.
Edge can't do voice and data at the same time. So that's your issue there.

Yup... remember all of those commercials with ATT boasting that you can call and surf the web on its 3g? (using two separate signals, one for data, one for calls)
Ah. Guess that explains that then. Thanks.

Tablet Talk App

So since I've been using tablets since the xoom came out I always wanted to be able to send texts through my tablet but have them send with my phone's number. At first there was syncSMS, which was pretty good but required drop box to sync up messages. Then I started using Text tab which would pair the devices with BT. The app was ok, the interface wasnt that great but it did the job. I just bought Tablet Talk from the market and I have to say I LOVE this app, not only does it give you the option to connect via BT or Wifi(must be on same wifi network) but the interface is much better than text tab. Plus you can control your mobile phone. Meaning, if you want to call someone it has a dialer and when you dial from your tab it will place the call on your handset, you can even activate speakerphone on your mobile phone. Granted you need to have your phone close for the calling stuff and I am wondering if you connect the two via BT if you can actually use your tab to talk(I havent tested on BT yet) but I think it's still pretty neat. And when you get a call it displays the caller id number on your tab so no more having to pull the phone out of your pocket to see who's calling.
I have been using it over wifi since last night and havent even seen it eat much battery at all and I left it running all night. Anyway, I would HIGHLY recommend this app... It's the best Tab/Phone SMS app I've seen so far
ok so no audio routing when connected via BT, but it's still a pretty cool feature
When I get a call it shows me who is calling on my tab, and also rings on the tab. You can answer the call from the tab but it activates the handset, but as I said in the OP from the tab you can also activate the speakerphone on your phone
Try...

it routes the audio as well?

Is there a way for it to recognize the hotspot app on your phone as the wifi network? I have the hotspot on my phone enabled..but it still ask me to connect to a wifi network.
Have you tried the Sidecar app? It is available in the Play market.

hmm not sure.. I havent tried.. but why not just connect via bluetooth?
I haven't tested it extensively, but it definitely looks like a good app. I will be testing it more once I start making progress on installing the tablet in the car.
I bought it the other day and wished I did the trial first. It does work well, but my phone seems to disconnect often from Bluetooth. So then I have to manually turn the screen on and reconnect.
Guess I need to fool with the settings on my phone some more. It's very useful, except for this little quirk I'm having.

hmm that's odd. Email the dev, I emailed him a couple of questions and he replied pretty quickly. The first time within hours of my email, the 2nd one a day or two after.
It seems to be an ics issue on the Evo 3D leaks. All of them have this issue for me. That's why I think I need to play around in my wifi settings a bit. Thanks for the suggestion though

[Q] Whatsapp Connection Problem

Hi everyone. I have recently bought Galaxy S3 and i have a whatsapp connection issue. Not always but sometimes, when i opened whatsapp, it takes long time (1-2 mins) to connect. Also sometimes when i tried to text someone it will send the message 1-2 later.
Also sometimes, i received some massages with 3-4 mins delay, i think it is because the same problem at above.
In settings, 3G is enabled also. I didnt recognize any other problem like this yet(browser etc) related with this situation. I havent any problem like this on my old phone (iphone)
Thanks for your replies...
Thats not the app, its your internet connection....restart your router

I have the same issue and its only with whatsapp, I just ignore it as the messages send with a slight delay (whilst they are waiting to send I can browse the Web etc, so not sure how it can be a router problem)

So you cannot solve the situation =(( This problem annoying me a lot..
I observed something yesterday. I enabled wifi and tried my whatsapp lots of time. The connection problem NEVER occured.
Also this morning i realize that when i sent the message and when it is waiting to send (like there is a connection problem), i checked the server status of whatsapp on application, and it says fine/server is ok. Also as "mrbubba999" said while it is waiting, i can use my browser to reach internet and there is no problem with it.
I hope the problem is related with to the whatsapp servers/application or smt like that...

From what I understood, the issues did not occur on wifi? Check your apn settings with your telco provider. May be a damaged sim card too.
The issue does not lie with WhatsApp as I just used it almost extensively everyday and there's no delay. Also, wifi does not cause any issues so it's definitely something to do with your data

Have you tried to change the connection port? There is an option in settings, where you can change the port if you have connection issues.

If there is problem on apn settings or sim card, how can i browse on the internet without any problem. Also while my message is waiting to send, i checked the server status of whatsapp but it says fine always immediately.
it happens,it goes. best way is to check whatsapp status on twiter,they have problems sometimes,it's not always the phone's fault
