Hi Everone!
I bought a Verizon S6 Edge+ a few months back. Ever since, I can only make outgoing calls ~15% of the time. The rest of the time, when I dial a number, it thinks about it for a little bit and then just ends the call. Incoming calls work perfectly fine. I tried the following things:
1. Changing mobile network to Global - sometimes allows me to make the call, often time does not.
2. Taking out and re-inserting SIM - doesn't change anything
3. Toggling airplane mode - doesn't change anything
Any ideas of what I can try? Thanks so much D
I had same issue, followed instructions from (https://www.getdroidtips.com/g928vvru3cqb9-nougat-s6-edge-plus/) to rollback to previous version of Android i.e. Marshmallow (https://forum.xda-developers.com/s6-edge-plus/general/g928vvru3cqb9-odin-nougat-7-0-firmware-t3601427). Able to roll back, but that did not work, So used Verizon update tool to update back to latest firmware, now it works fine. Give a try and see if this helps.
I'm having this issue with an AT&T sim.
Global: Data is at H+ and can make calls.
LTE/CDMA: 4G LTE Data works flawlessly but cannot make calls and gives me an error stating "incorrect sim or sim error".
LTE/CDMA/UMTS: 4G LTE Data works fine however when making a call data goes back to H+ and stays there.

Can you explain more info? what version where you on before rolling back, im having serious connections issues since upgrading to android 7 and that 6.01 rollback looks interesting, my service worked just perfect on 6, when i upgraded to 7 my phone became unusable and wouldn't receive calls or texts unless i connect to the network every 15min with a call to my vmail. weird i know

Short version:
The phone works good initially, but once I move out of Wifi (so that phone's data connection takes over) and move back in, calls stop working. No incoming calls, no outgoing calls. data, incoming texts all work fine. Just no calls. I even get the text from the service provider that I missed a call.
This happens in stock 20d, 20f, 20h, and CM10.2.
Has this happened to anybody else? Did the delay in installing radio_fix (see below) caused the problem?
Long version (history):
I used carloswii5's method to unlock bootloader (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2277639), and load CM10.2.
At the end of the method, I forgot to install radio_fix and used the device for a couple of hours, all the while wondering why the radio seems very weak and why I am going in and out coverage in the middle of this metropolitan area.
I eventually realized that I forgot the radio_fix.zip and installed it. The phone started working properly at that point, with signal levels comparable to other phones.
The trouble starts when I move out of Wifi area and THEN MOVE BACK INTO (OR MOVE INTO SOME OTHER) WIFI area. At that point, I am unable to make or receive calls. Outgoing calls do not result in any tones at all. Incoming calls get a number-unobtainable tone (beep beep). It doesn't matter if I then turn off the WIFI. The calls will not restart until I restart the phone.
I then went to CMahendra's CWM backups thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2136204) and installed 20d, 20f and 20h one after another, and then back to CM10.2 The exact same thing happens in all the versions of stock and CM.
I am on Lycamobile. Stock versions recognize the SIM correctly as Lycamobile while CM10.2 thinks it is T-Mobile. It doesn't matter though, since both the coverage and eventual issue of 'no calls' is the same in both versions.

I recommend performing an offline flash of 20h to install the proper radio. Or do a search in the threads for the 20f flashable zip by lelus. If you still have problems it might just be your phone.

I did an offline update with V20f_00.kdz. The issue persists. The strange thing is, data continues to work and text messages come in, but only calls fail to come/go.

You must have a hardware problem or maybe it's the area you're in.

Other people have reported the same problem on cm 10.2. I wouldn't be surprised if t mobile ****ed up on on their radio blobs.
Just this morning I noticed that I couldn't make outgoing calls and got a recorded message instructing me to make sure I am dialing the right number or something like that. Also, incoming calls were going straight to rapid beeps, in other words incoming was failing too.
I went in to Sprint and they noticed that my network setting was set to Global instead of LTE/CDMA, changing it got calling working again. They suspected an update overnight may have caused it as another user with an LG G3 came in earlier today.
I am running 5.0.1 build LRX21Y, LS990ZV8
PRL version is 55023
I don't think any of these indicate anything new. But just be aware, if your phone has suddenly stopped making/receiving calls, go into settings, More, Mobile networks, Network mode and verify you see LTE/CDMA.
I just got this phone about a month ago and I am not able to send any text messages but yet, I can receive them. MMS, data, and calling works pretty good too. MMS didn't work at first until I had to change my APN settings. Is there a way to fix this?
Does this problem have something to do with the software version? It's 5.0.1 (lollipop)
I'm having the same problem with my phone also!
Samsung Galaxy S4 (Verizon)
Im also having the same issue. Sold phone and bought lg g3. Ive tried changing to LTE / UTMS / GSM from global. But nothing. I turn off wifi and on data, sometimes texts go thru. But not 100%.. Another thing you can do temporarily is get a google voice number. All calls will be forwarded to your number and texts will show up in email and hangouts. Good luck

same problem here. It seems we need to either disable lte or find a way to choose lte/gsm mode to get the texting work. I did not find a way to do this in lollipop. Please help.
I need a fix also
No texting on Verizon s4 i545 on 5.0.1 with root
None of the radio switches are working
Need a proper solution ,
partial soln
I have the same problem going to cricket. Here is the solution I am using until a better one is found.
EDIT: (My SCH-I545 is rooted and running Stang5Litres rom, OF1)
[App] Advanced Signal Status
[Select] Additional Info at bottom of page
[Select] Phone Info
[Setting] GSM/CDMA auto (PRL)
This soln turns of LTE, but still allows me to use EVDO and HSPA, and texts send and recieve fine. Still trying to find a LTE soln.
Hey Guys,
Desperate lurker here saying First of all thanks for all the guides and everything that the devs and everyone that the community has done. I've search all of google and xda but i can't seem to figure out what's wrong with me Xperia Z2 .D6503
. T mobile carrier.
Basically since yesterday, I noticed that my phone couldn't receive or make any phone calls. but data internet, wifi internet and text messaging was working fine. Whenever people call me, i would just get a voicemail notice. At the time I was on the Marshmallow Existence rom. Ive done a lot of troubleshooting since then and still I can only make a call on GSM Mode.
Here's what i've done.
Wiped data and "reset" my phone on the Existence ROM - didn't work.
Wiped everything and flash Resurrection ROM - didn't work still.
Used someone else's sim card , couldn't receive calls either.
Use my sim card on a different phone - that one worked (SO IT'S NOT THE SIM CARD'S FAULT)
Placed back my sim card in the Z2 and reset flashed the stock rom from this page https://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z2/general/stock-t3355768
but that didn't work either.
I've also manually put the Tmobile APN.
Basically calls only work when changing it into GSM mode. but when i put LTE/WCDMA/GSM. Calls made under LTE/WCDMA/GSM Won't even make a dialtone when I make a cal. It basically just ends after a few seconds
I'm starting to think it might be a hardware issue because no matter which ROM i put, no matter how many factory resets and data wipes i've done. I can only make calls on GSM Mode.
Does anyone have any other ideas or should I just cry and buy a new phone.?
I suggest you to flash your phone with flashtool v0.9.18.6 and flash 291 ftf and wipe all
@whatsadophone
Have you try resetting APN for your SIM card when on your device?
thanks to everyone who tried to help. I don't know what happened. but after i tried putting the sim back in the Z2 to check my signals using Signal Spy, It suddenly can use LTE again. Only problem is since i installed that stock ROM, I lost my recovery mode and can't get it back. But i wont push my luck and just keep it like it is till i buy a new phone.

i have same problem any help pls?
try doing that signal spy solution by luck that I did in the post before that
Hi everyone,
I'm having an issue with my device since yesterday. I wanted to make calls but as soon as I try to call someone I was getting "couldn't connect message"
I thought that it's maybe something to do with the carrier but i restarted my device, and after the restart I saw that I now only have 4g, and not 4g+ displayed, and still got the couldn't connect message then trying to call anyone. When switching to 3g/2g in settings I was able to call, and I was also able to receive calls even when on 4g.
My internet is working fine over mobile data, there were no issues with it.
Also, VoLte icon is being displayed all the time, thatdidn't go away.
At some point yesterday I was able to make calls over 4g again, but never regained the 4g+ and a few calls dropped after 5-6 minutes of talking.
I tried a SIM card from a different provider, but still see just 4g, and not 4g+
So I am not sure what could be the issue anymore.. Did anyone maybe encounter something similar after this last update? Maybe that's the issue. I don't know if I should consider suspecting a hardware issue because internet works fine all the time.
Clear system cache, clear sim toolkit data, and do a network reset.
See if that gets it...

Thanks for the tip!
I actually tried doing all of that and nothing was helping.
At the end I changed the CSC back to my stock one (TOP) and 4g+ is back.
I have no idea why this happened because I was using BTE csc for months and everything was ok. I'm just glad that it's not a hardware issue.
