I've had the Galaxy S2 for about 2 months now without any problems.
As of last Friday, I can't receive incoming calls. People who try to call me hear one beep and then they get my voicemail.
Outgoing calls work just fine, as does SMS (incoming and outgoing).
I've put my T-Mobile SIM in another phone and then it is able to receive a call. Another SIM in my phone -> same problem: no incoming calls.
So I figured it must be the phone.
Customer support has started an investigation but that can take up to 1 week, so I thought let's ask XDA.
Can it be a simple setting that I've accidentally changed? Pretty often when I take my phone from my pocket, the screen is unlocked so that could be a cause.
If anyone has a clue or an identical situation, please let me know.

Does your phone ring when a call comes in and also does it go straight through to your voicemail?

Straight to voicemail. But I've figured it out after 3 days
There's an option to automatically block all incoming calls in the settings. Must have accidentally been activated when the phone was in my pocket.

In my case, the phone does not ring when I get a call at all. I have searched hi and low and I cant find a solution. I have rebooted, i have reflashed, I have changed my ringtone and nothing seems to work, please help!!
Hello my girlfriends SGS 2 has almost the same problem it cannot receive calls sometimes even though she can call everyone. The problem seems to fix by itself sometimes and it appears random.
I read that there was a problem with the samsung galaxy s when using 2G/EDGE connection with data activated and the problem was that the user could not receive calls randomly.
Can you confirm that you are using 2G/EDGE connection and Data activated? I am also trying to find the cause of this problem...
Hope my research helps good luck and waiting for your reply. (http://www.samsunggalaxysforum.com/...eive-incoming-calls-and-sms-while-using-edge/)
Later EDIT ---
She also has a vodafone provider but i have the same provider and never had this issue. Also no call filtering is done.
Make sure Call Forwarding is Disabled under Settings- Call- Call forwarding. And also try to delete the Voicemail number if you had set any.
Regards.
it's nothing Call Forwarding is Disabled related it is because of EDGE connection you can't have a sync or internet connection and while "dialing" data receive calls if you want to call anyone the network prioritizes and let's you dial whoever you want but it is not the same thing for incoming calls
^ Went over my head !
had the same problem in a bad 3g/data coverage area. solution was simply to turn data off and the calls started to come through.
turned data back on and now working ok.
I'm posting this for a mate that has the Galaxy S3 I9300. He has an issue whereby if he receives a call while on the phone, he'll switch to the second call but can't return to the original/initial call. Or in his own words
Having a problem with call waiting. Whilst already on a call I'm noticing I'm having a problem when trying to answer an incoming call. Very frequently whilst on a call any attempt to answer an incoming call results in that call being rejected and a missed call notification being displayed. When I then try to retrieve the original call I tried to hold I'm unable to do so and an 'unable to retrieve call' message is displayed. This is a very serious issue as both calls are dropped.

hi,
im having this problem, whenever im calling or receive a call, i cant hear anything and the others cannot hear me. but when im using app like fb messenger or viber or any apps to call or receive a call it just fine. anybody know the problem?-
Hey guys,
So I have a note 3 and I regularly make calls and text on whatsapp. My problem arises when I get a regular cell call while I'm on a whatsapp call; I can answer the regular call but my phone does not put my WhatsApp call on hold, causing both calls to be active and neither to hear me.
I have to manual hang up one or the other to fix the problem but it is quite frustrating to do this when the phone is basically struggling to cope with 2 active calls and is lagging.
Ant advice? Thanks.
Hello everyone,
I just bought this phone, set it up, very happy with it. The problem is that sometimes I can't receive phone calls or call people. After a little while I can. Then while in the middle of a phone call, strange noises start and I can't hear the other person and call gets disconnected.
My provider is MetroPCS.
Thank you
