Hi guys. Im one of the developers of Root Call Blocker and a number of other apps using a custom build root telephony layer. There have been recent reports of our apps behaving badly with the new official JB updates.
We need people to check whether this is true - especially people with CDMA devices which we have no access to. Either way, please download the free versions of the apps in question (look at bottom of post for links) and perform some simple tests:
- call yourself from blocked numbers
- text yourself from blocked numbers
- mms yourself from blocked numbers (CM/Delta only)
If something seems to be working fine, please try again just in case. If you have problems, go to Settings and find the "Write to us" item. Once you click on it, be sure to mention in the description field that youre from xda - just put XDA TEST or something.
If you can, please try to include the number that was supposed to be blocked - the logs consist of thousands of lines, so that will help a lot.
Root Call Blocker - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=fahrbot.apps.rootcallblocker.beta
(trial allows one item, you can use groups to block more)
Call Master - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=fahrbot.apps.blacklist
(this one is completely free)
Thanks in advance. Also, you can write about problems here if you like!
Hi,
I just tried your application in Trial Mode.
I added a phone number in the blacklist.
I enabled filter mode (SuperSu asked authorization, accepted) : In parameter -> "Activer le blockage des appels"
and I suddently lost network connexion... Unable to reactivate it, i had to reboot the phone.
Tried it again, and same result, I loose network signal when I enable blocking...
Edit : I tried the debug option to restart service, but if blocking is still enabled, the signal is lost again directly. If I disable blocking before restart service, it seems to restore signal
Hmm. How long did you wait after root was granted? Sometimes it can take a few minutes so please just check again to be sure. Also, logs through the app would be very helpful, as described above,
Sent from my Nexus 10 using XDA Premium HD app
Well I tried a few times, waited one minute, no network signal. Even with a restart service, the signal came back for less than 1 second and desappeared again.
I disabled blocking, restarted service, and then the signal was back.
I sent 3 mails with logs with the application report tool, all with title : XDA TEST (1/2/3) : ....

If youre the one who sent logs, i can see that you waited 10(!) seconds. Then you just kept pressing restart. The radio layer cannot possibly reboot in 10 seconds.
Please, wait at least 2 minutes.
On the Test 3 i waited approx 1 minute I think
I can try again. It will be XDA TEST 4
---------- Post added at 12:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:32 PM ----------
So I did the following :
Enabled call blocking : network signal lost
Waited 3 minutes and tried "redémarrage du dispositif" : Nothing happened
Waited 3 minutes and tried "Redémarrer le service de téléphonie" : Network signal came back for 1 second and lost it.
Waited 3 minutes, disabled call blocking : Nothing appened
Waited 3 minutes and tried "Redémarrer le service de téléphonie" : Network signal came back and stayed ON, H+ appeared. (call blocking disabled 3 minutes before)
Used the "Nous écrire" menu to send the logs
It is EXACTLY what i did right now, I just moved the screen with my finger during the operation to keep screen ON, nothing more.

I have agalaxy s2 and have the GPRS pack enabled from Vodafone.
Every 2 minutes my phone flashes with a message about the usage of gprs data and how much i have left. This causes screen to come on and phone to vibrate. This message is similar to the balance messages sent by network after each call (not an sms, just message with OK button)
Any option to disable these messages. Everyone i know if being annoyed with this.
Vodafone India tells me they dont know how these messages can be stopped.
Is there an app or something that can block these ?
This is happening because you might have installed Juice Defender or similar software that switches off your 3G/Edge (data) connection when your screen is turned off. There are 2 options for you to try:
1. Ensure that your data connection is always ON even after you turn off the screen. OR
2. If you are rooted, try this app: Prepay Widget
https://market.android.com/details?...EsImZhaHJib3QuYXBwcy51c3NkLndpZGdldC5saXRlIl0.
It might work even if you are not rooted. Give it a try.

Hi I would like to see a solution for this too. Not that I get those messages now and then, but whenever sending an sms I get a box like that telling I have been changed 0.00 rs which is actually annoying. I will try the app, however there any other way than rooting to stop the pop up?
@OP u got sense 3.0 UI in GS2?
got a reply from Vodafone email support that it cant be turned off.
wonder if there is an app that that block these messages.
I've turned off battery apps like Juice defender so i dont get many notifications
A tech rep saying it can't be done is a worthless response.
At the very least you could investigate options like:
Removing the process via Root Explorer (or similar app)
Freeze whatever the app or process is that is doing this in Titanium Backup.
Flashing to a stock (non-branded) firmware that doesn't include this crap.
Flashing to a custom firmware that doesn't include this crap
Its not a installed app that is doing this ! The service provider sends a flash message with the usage details.
Isnt there any apps that can block these. I'm sure it will be very popular with Vodafone users if someone makes one.
There should be some kind of MOD to push the pop up message mentioned by the OP in the first post to the notification bar at least.

Try to switch the encryption and see if that fixes it. If it does then this will be a confirmed issue.
I am here to learn.Thanks for sharing.
Ok it's been about 10 mins without a single drop...seems to have corrected the issue. I was using WPA-PSK [TKIP+AES] and I switched to just TKIP. I'll check back in a bit and let you know after about an hour or so. I'll try it using just AES then switch back to TKIP+AES and I will also try on 5gHz bandwidth.

Glad to see that it worked. Let me know and I'll post it up as a workaround for the time being.
Ok so it seems that the only WiFi issue I'm experiencing stems from using duel encryptions. It works fine using WAP2-PSK [AES] alone. WPA-PSK [TKIP] works fine alone as well. I played around with the settings for a bit but I couldn't seem to get it to work properly on duel encryption.

WIFI Disconnect/Reconnect Issue
Here's the issue I've been having. I'm in a very active wifi neighborhood. Even though I had the advanced wifi set to 'Always on' it kept disconnecting (and instantly reconnecting) to my network. The phone is scanning the neighborhood almost every 15 seconds. It's simply WPA-2 with just AES (and I'm not changing to TKIP)
This is a problem for me as I use "WiFI Unlock" to keep from having to enter my PIN when I'm at work/home and "Home Sweet Home" which uploads any photos I have taken to my server when it detects the home wifi network (and deletes them from my phone after 3 months).
Anyway, I was just on the chat with Samsung and in the end we did this,
1. disable the ATT WIFI auto login function (seems there's something similar on the Sprint phones that's a issue).
2. soft reboot the phone (turn off, pull battery, count to 30, boot up)
However this suggested solution doesn't work.
The wifi isn't staying connected though the breaks are very very temporary, but long enough for those apps to kick in.
Update additional things tried:
3. Turned off WiFi power save in the *#0011# service menu
4. Turned off Open WiFi notifications
5. Selected a single wifi band (5Ghz) where there is ONLY one network, mine
FWIW, I like that it connects to my 5Ghz wifi at 150 mbps, the speed is great.
Here's a video of the issue showing the phone:

Here's a videoe of the issue showing the router: http://youtu.be/rRALDc8LZOk
Yeah this is the same issue. I tried turning off sprint auto connection feature and also dialing *#0011# menu> WiFi> and disabling WiFi power save mode. But either of those had no effect after I had rebooted the phone. Maybe you should give it a try, it seems we have the same problem but with different encryptions.

I had hope for a few minutes that this would work ( *#0011# ) but it's the constant rescanning for networks.... since so many wifi in my 'hood have the channels set to auto, they're constantly changing as they compete for space. This is why I wanted a phone with 5Gh- I even set it to only use the 5Ghz* but that doesn't do it either even though I can only see ONE network with 5Ghz, mine. this phone is constantly scanning and every few scans reconnecting.
turning off the AutoNotify of open wifi doesn't help either.
It's a plot to make you use more data on the carrier's network!
*which is bad for me, since I rely on wifi which is mostly 2.4Ghz when I'm out of the house (may need some NFC tags for the car or house doors.

WIFI Disconnect/Reconnect Issue - Level 3 report
FWIW. I just got off a 45 minute call with Samsung Help Support, went to level 3 support in Texas. This is newly documented, I've referenced this forum for additional reports of the dual encryption and the wifi connnect/reconnect issue I'm having. My ticket # 2113584507 (just for disconnect/reconnect) which you can mention at level 1 as having the same disconnect/connect issue. I specifically asked if I could post the ticket # so anyone could reference it at Level 1, but they will still take your own experience down.
Level 3 said they expect that they will be getting calls today since it's the first full day after the release. So if you want it fixed, CALL SAMSUNG, they're collecting bug reports.

Please tell me I'm not the only one with this issue!
For the past three weeks, I can't send/receive texts or even calls sometimes while WiFi is turned on. However, when I'm out and not connected to WiFi, there is no issue. I've tried calling T-Mobile but all they wanted to do was factory reset my phone. When I DO get phone calls, the other people seem as though they are breaking up and I can't understand them AT ALL. And when I do manage to send texts, they take forever to reach their destinations.
Anyone else experiencing this?

Just your average home WiFi connection if that's what you're asking.. I saw that WiFi calling was causing the problem for some people so it's been turned off on my phone for a while.
And I used to use hangouts but I switched back to regular messaging.... Then a few weeks later, this problem!

So, over the past couple of weeks, my phone just randomly loses the ability to use data. I use that term because, 4G is still on the phone, i'm not getting a no service signal, I just can't do anything that would use data. I'll be at work, using the Wi-Fi, then i'll leave and all of the sudden, nothing. It's like my phone just loses signal, but doesn't tell me it is. The little arrows under the 4G symbol don't do blink, nothing happens. I end up having to restart my phone. I haven't done anything different for this to happen. No updates, i'm not in abnormal areas when it happens(even if I was, it comes back after restart), nothing. Anyone have any insight on this?
I've had the same issue for about a month now. I am rooted and used this method
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...-to-update-to-i545oc1-5-0-1-keeproot-t3096558
if i reboot i get my signal back, or sometimes if i toggle airplane mode on/off it will come back. haven't been able to find any fixes on it yet though...
I have the same issue, I've found toggling airplane mode works 90% of the time.

This is the worst bug yet!
I hope someone finds a fix to this soon. I am running 5.0.1 on a Verizon S4. All the techs at the Verizon store could tell me is that I need to upgrade to a new phone. After telling them I didn't want a new phone right now they gave me a new SIM card but that hasn't helped either. When I go into an area where I don't get service it seems like my phone just stops searching (perhaps to save battery?) Then it never seems to wake up and find service again even after I go back to a known 4G location. The toggle airplane mode on and off thing rarely ever works, so I don't think the radio is just "sleeping" to save battery. A complete restart is the only thing that helps.

I have this same issue (stanglite 5.01 ROM) and have tried a number of things to resolve it. I can post those steps if it is helpful to the discussion. In short, I've tried several modems and resets.
I should specify that mine is not identical to the OP as mine specifically shows that I have no signal. and it doesn't seem to be trying to find signal.

Not sure if it's just me or not, but ever since the update, my antenna seems weaker. I've never gotten much service at my house, but typically, I could go near a window, or outside and get service. Now, once it goes so long without service, the only way to get it back is to restart my phone. I've tested this even going into areas where I know there's good service. I've tried toggling airplane mode on and off, and even that doesn't get it to hook back up. It's incredibly annoying having a phone I pay this much for, and yet, can't use it without restarting every time I want to make a call or text.

One of the responses from this or another thread on this subject mentions to try changing "Preferred Network Mode" to LTE/CDMA. I did this and then rebooted (didn't work until after the reboot). It seems to have corrected my issue (I did also uninstall some apps I don't rely on but otherwise no other changes). Note that after another reboot the mode seems to have switched back to Global, but the issue has not returned.
Change "Preferred Network Mode" from Settings > More networks > Mobile Networks > Network mode.

There are tons of hits on this issue but no solutions...
It would be nice to find the actual problem instead of throwing a bunch of things at it to see what sticks.
Just as the title says. After updating to 5.1.1 I noticed that I'm getting a terrible network signal anywhere I go unless I'm directly outside.
I could be inside a building near a window and my network will be 1 bar or even less sometimes.
Is there anyone else experiencing this? Is there any way to fix this?
I flashed the Greece version and then updated with my local baseband and kernel etc.
Thanks.
I too have realized there are network issues and my phone is completely stock. No root at all or any mods whatsoever. From time to time I wont be able to load facebook or other social media so I have to toggle airplane mode to have the network reset which gets annoying. Also, my messaging takes quite long to get sent and sometimes the recipient gets the same message 2 - 3 times. I am trying to downgrade back to 5.0.1 but I have no idea how to do that. Most of the posts I googled, go back to kitkat which I dont want.
I hope someone could point me to the right post for the steps. Thanks!
I also have this problem in 5.0.2
