I can't make or take phone calls, but i can message and use data. Has this happened to anyone else? I've gone through three Samsung Galaxy S5's in the past three days, two of which have this problem and one just stopped working all together.

My phone doesn't have any cellular phone functions...but it CAN send text messages and access data. Has this happened to anyone else? I've gone through three Samsung Galaxy S5's in the past three days, the last two have this problem and the first stopped working all together. I've had new sim cards put in, ive done hard resets on the phone, i've rebooted the phone, done battery pulls, and tech support has reset the signal to my phone. Nothing has worked. (I just "upgraded" <- lol.... and my old phone IS turned off.)

Im in 79707. So to recap my whole case: I upgraded my device using the verizon wireless website. I received my phone and switched my old SIM card from my Droid Razr Maxx HD into the new Galaxy S5. Everything worked fine until the next morning (May 31st) when I woke up and the phone wouldn't turn on. I took the phone to the local Verizon store and they were also unable to turn it on. They issued me a new Galaxy S5 (referred to as phone 2) and switched my SIM card into that one.
With PHONE 2 i was able to make calls and receive calls, along with text and data for approximately four hours. After that, i was unable to use the phone function of the device, but text and data were still functioning. I took PHONE 2 back to the Verizon store where they attempted to hard reset the phone twice, they also installed two new SIM cards at the store. After this they would get the same error, which is the phone just reading "Dialing..." after attempting to make a call. The Verizon associate declared the phone "DOA" and issued me another Galaxy S5 (referred to as PHONE 3).
PHONE 3 worked well, with phone text and data featured intact from when I received it on the after noon of the 31st until approximately 2:30PM on June 1st. I contacted Verizon Tech Support via Gmail phone to attempt the correct the problem. They reset the connection, had me do a battery pull, had me close the "phone" application, and erase the data and catche, then restart the phone. All of which had no effect. My phone is still able to receive texts and use data (even with wifi off) it simply cannot make or take phone calls. all it says is "dialing..." when I attempt to make a call. When other phones call my device it rings once on their end and directs them to voicemail, PHONE 3 does not ring on my end.
I have made sure my old phone is completely powered down.

  • I have a data connection but I can't make or receive phone calls or texts

    I have a 3G data connection on my iPhone 5 at home, but I can't make or receive phone calls or messages.. I can surf the Internet though. I talked to a sprint representative and we went over everything and couldn't figure it out. Can some one plz help with this issue???

    Phone and messages is a carrier issue. Sprint needs to check your account to make sure it is set up correctly. If everything looks good on their end, then do a reset on the phone, hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. After the phone restarts, try it.

  • Can you choose to block phone calls but not texts from a number?

    So I have searched all over the place and have not found an answer.  I am sure someone has blocked me from calling them because when I try to call them I recieve this message: "Welcome to Verizon Wireless. The number you were trying to reach has calling restrictions which has prevented the completion of your call."However I am wondering if they can still receieve my texts.  I have sent two and they both show that they have been delivered on my phone and they both also show up on my online bill as having been sent from me and recieved to the number that I am pretty sure has blocked me.  Does Verizon allow someone to block just phone calls but not text messages?  Or if you block a number from calling does that mean texting from that same number is automatically blocked as well (or is it two seperate processes)?  I understand it may look like it has been sent on my end, but I am wondering, since I never got a "message failed" indicator or anything else telling me they never got it, if they were able to receive and read the 2 messages?  We both are Verizon customers by the way.  Thanks!!!

    That person did block you, and no they cannot receive or read your texts.

  • I have had my macbook pro for 3 days, and it will not charge.  I tried several differnt outlets, tried cleaning and wiggling the magnet charger, still nothing.  Has this happened to anyone else? Any suggestions?

    You have 14 days from the date of purchase to return your MBP.  Personally, I would not waste my time "troubleshooting" if the normal solutions do not work.
    Return the MBP for one that works before your 14 days are up and/or call AppleCare ASAP!!!
    Good luck!

  • When my phone is powered on and not in use all of a sudden the Samsung Galazy 5 then Samsung and the verizon logo comes on to frequent all threw out the day . Has this happened to anyone else ?

    When my phone is powered on and not in use all of a sudden the Samsung Galaxy 5 then Samsung and Verizon logo comes on tell me to check my battery cover, I have checked it and it is secure but it still continues to happen all day long. Has this happened to anyone else?

    My phone is 5 days old and does the exact same thing.
    Just check the box that says do not show again when it pops up. That should Stop the pop ups all the time.
    I am very dissapointed with my phone .  My S5 has been very buggy, likes to freeze up , lags , drains battery in about 4-5 hours, loses data connection in "Good Signal" areas ( drops down to 3g and 1x data or says 4g lte but Web pages fail to load , say no data connection). Camera has also crashed on me twice already.

    Then whoever gets the phone just sets things up again using their Apple ID.

  • I am using My Photo Stream on my iPhone and on my iPad. Much to my surprise, I noticed that many of my pictures on my iPad have disappeared ( iPhone shows 990 - iPad shows 90 only !!!! ) Has this happened to anyone else ????? What is the problem ???

    I am using My Photo Stream on my iPhone and on my iPad. Much to my surprise, I noticed that many of my pictures on my iPad have disappeared ( iPhone shows 990 - iPad shows 90 only !!!! ) Has this happened to anyone else ????? What is the problem ???

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Photostream in the cloud only keeps photos from the last 30 days (subject to a 1,000 photo limit). When photostream syncs the photos to your device they will stay there (subject to a 1,000 photo limit) until deleted, which means you may well have more photos in your photostream album on your device than there are in photostream in the cloud.
    The consequence of this is that if you turn photostream off and on again on your device (or enable it for the first time), it will only be populated with photos from the last 30 days, which may not be all the photos that were previously in the photostream album on that device.

  • HT204088 How on earth did someone hack into my iTunes account and charge my visa/debit card? I didn't know until I got my bank statement with a fake phone # to call iTunes has this happened to anyone else?

    How on earth does someone hack into my iTunes account and charge my visa/debit card? I got no emails from iTunes, so I know it's not them. This has happened twice to me and it's after I take out my credit information. I found out because of a bounced check, plus my bank statement had all the charges on it. They start small with just a few dollars but they do it every day sometimes twice a day. Then next to where they tell you who charged it, it says iTunes with a bogus phone# to call? In total they stole $224 from me. I was lucky my bank refunded the money stollen. Has this happened to anyone else?

    People get their accounts hacked all the time. It's unfortunate, but true. To prevent this in the future, you need to:
    - choose a good password, with a mix of upper and lowercase letter and numbers, that someone wouldn't be able to guess by stalking you on social media sites
    - be aware of surroundings when entering a password, to be sure nobody's looking over your shoulder
    - be cautious of what you do on open wifi networks (ie, networks that do not require a password to join)
    - use a different password on each site
    - use a password manager so you don't have to remember all those different passwords

  • My sound keeps scrambling and blaring without warning before I either restart or stop music/videos for a while. It's without warning and happening on different programs. Is this happening to anyone else?

    My sound keeps scrambling and blaring without warning before I either restart or stop music/videos for a while. It's without warning and happening on different programs. Is this happening to anyone else?
    I thought about resetting the nvram/pram, but before I do that, I wanted to check here. It might not be the issue. My startup looks fine and the sound is great up until the discrete moment when it's suddenly scrambled and nonsense.

    I did try a safe boot once before, which didn't stop the occurrences. I can try it again to make sure, and see if the problem stops happening.
    Never installed extra audio or plug-ins, though.
    It happened just once not long after I bought the mid-2013 MBA, which I think came with 10.8.4, but I assumed the noise was because I was moving the computer around on a surface that created static, since the noise stopped after I picked it up off the surface. However, that must have just been a coincidence, because it happens more frequently now without moving or touching anything.
    Trying the safe-mode boot and restart, and testing it out for day or so to see if it happens again.

  • TS1424 I was charged for an App that was presented as being free.Has this happened to anyone else?

    I was charged for an App that was presented as being free.Has this happened to anyone else and what did you do?

    You were charged for downloading it (some apps allow you to make in-app purchases within them to unlock extra features) ?
    If when downloading it then does a purchase price show on your purchase history : if you log into your account on your computer's iTunes via the Store > View Account menu option, you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it. Click on that and you should then see a list of your purchases (the most recent purchase is above the list).
    Of did you add or change your credit card details on your iTunes account when downloading the app ? If you have then each time that you do so a small temporary store holding charge may be applied to check that the card details are correct and valid and that it's registered to exactly the same name and address as on your iTunes account - it should disappear off your account within a few days or so.
    Store holding charge : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3702
    If you have been charged when you shouldn't have then you can try contacting iTunes Support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption
