Problem making/receiving/disconnecting calls and p...

I was looking for a new phone to replace my old Samsung Star, but I was unable to justify this expense. So, I saw Nokia Lumia 710 with it's GPS software and hardware as part of the package. Windows phone looks so beautiful that I just bought it last march, 23th.
Now, verifying this forum I realize that my problem, some how, exists since January in Europe. As many people here I have problems to end a call, but in my case the call never completes and when I try to disconnect Lumia just does nothing beyond show "disconnecting" forever. The only way to recover control is turning Lumia off.
Its true that my carrier has a very weak signal where I live (at my apartment), but my old Samsung at least make and receive calls. Some times I must move near to the window to have a better reception, but works. With Lumia, different from what I was expecting (a premium Nokia quality signal  - the best possible reception), some times just do not work! Some times people calls me and the phone do not ring. Some times I receive that screen offering me the opportunity to send a message like "I'm at a meeting" or something like that, but I do not have the opportunity to receive that call. This is very frequent since I bought this Nokia. Some times, when I make a call, Lumia pretend to call, pretend that the other person is connected, but, in fact, there is no calling sound. The phone remains mute all the time, there are no call. When I give up, I press "disconnect" and Lumia shows "disconnecting" but nothing happens. To recover phone control I must turn it off to try again. Once I was so angry that I press many buttons and Lumia freezes up completely and was needed to remove battery to turn off.
About GPS, that was my main excuse to expend a lot of money on a new phone: Nokia Lumia GPS is disappointing. Lumia GPS looks like loose satellite signals very frequently. I decided to make a comparison between my Lumia and my wife's iPad. Working totally offline, side by side at my wife's lap, while iPad was able to show immediately every turn I make, Lumia takes long time to realize that. In fact, most of time, Lumia just realize that I turn when I was reaching next corner. I'm using Nokia drive 2 and, in this test, since I don’t have a GPS software at iPad, I just leave Lumia and iPad with the map showing our position. I do not set a destination.
Finally, my last disappointment is about windows Phone and the “one account policy”. Really? They think people will be happy to give up from their messenger accounts or Xbox accounts to use Windows Phone? When I turn on my Lumia for the first time it asks me to enter or create a Microsoft account. I think about and I realize that I don’t want to add payment information to my very old Hotmail/messenger account, so, I create a new one. My mistake because soon I discover that Windows Phone do not let me choose a different account for Messenger or Xbox.
I call Nokia in Brazil to find a solution for my two main problems: making/receiving calls and the GPS performance. The only solution they can think about was reset my phone. I do that a few hours ago. This time I choose to enter my Messenger account to be able to chat with my friends, but, of course, I loose my Xbox id created with the other account.
“One account policy” is so “not smart” that is very hard to understand why they do that. The need to reset the device to choose another account is unbelievable. Mean while, with iPhone/iPad, to change accounts is so easy…
I will test my phone for the next few days to verify if reset solve all my problems, but right now I’m very disappointed.
(I hope you can understand my poor english).

Reset Lumia 710 do not solved my problem. I was forced to send the device to technical support. Even if they was unable to reproduce the problems I faced at home, they did a flash reset (or something) and now my phone always ring when people call and I can end calls without a problem. For now those problems disappeared.

    Have you talked to your carrier (or your friend to his)?  Could be an issue at their end.

    I'm having similar issues.  The iPhone4's face time works just as it always did but the iPad4 is not working.  I can place a call but it won't connect, others can call and it rings but never connects.  I've signed in and out of iTunes, removed and reinstalled the wifi, hard restart, and anything I can think of.  It's driving me nuts!

  • Iphone 5s cannot call out any calls, but still can receive incoming calls and sms

    Hi
    anyone experiencing this problem? After buying iphone 5s less than 2 months which I never did in the past, I could no longer make any phone calls out, yet i still can receive incoming calls and data.
    Could someone kindly assist in this? 

    Contact your carrier. Phone functions are a carrier responsibility. Have them check your account. Are you seeing any error messages?

  • IPhone 4 Can't receive incoming calls and sms after 3G has been activated

    I can't receive incoming calls and sms on my iPhone 4 after the 3G connection has been activated and used actively by me. Outgoing calls and messages do work and as long as I use the Wi-Fi connection everything's fine but the problem appears after switching to 3G. Any help? Thx in advance!  

    I think the next step is to do a reset by holding the sleep and home buttons down at the same time until the Apple logo appears.  If you haven't done this before, keep holding the buttons when the turn off slider appears.  The screen will go black and after what seems like an eternity, actually several seconds, the Apple logo will appear.  When the logo appears, release the buttons.

    When my wife receives a call and her screen is locked she gets two choices. Remind me and answer. When I get a call, I get 3 buttons. Remind me, message and answer. Both are iPhone 4S with ios7. Is there some setting to fix this? I thought the phones were set up identically.
    Thanks.

    Glad it helped. I only remembered it was there because I'd just been checking something else in that screen.
    Best of luck.

  • Problems making & receiving calls

    I have just been given a Nokia 95, I have inserted my vodafone contract sim card and everything works appart from making and receiving calls. I have contacted Vodafone and they say they can't help me it's a Nokia issue. Has anybody had this problem or can anybody help?
    It displays the message call not allowed?

    My sim card is fine and works in other phones.
    Things I have tried so far:
    Making sure all call barrings are inactive
    Making sure all call diverts are inactive
    Updating access points via a vodafone download
    Updating the whole software of the phone via Nokia

  • TS3406 Problem with iPhone 5 making/receiving random calls ("butt dials")

    My wife and I have iPhone 5's.  Since last Friday, my phone has made and received random phone calls ("butt dials") including FaceTime calls.  My wife's phone has even called itself.  The only common denominator is that the person making the random call has an iPhone.  
    My phone and my wife's phone have the latest software (7.1.2) and we had the batteries changed under warranty through Apple last Friday.  Any ideas?

    Hi becausewemust,
    It sounds like you have sound issues with your iPhone only when using it as a phone, not at other times, is that correct? And you have already tried resetting the phone by turning it off and on. A very frustrating situation to be sure. Let’s see if we can get you up and running.
    At this point I would suggest restoring the iPhone as a new device. See the steps in this article -

  • Contacts ID displaying differently when receiving voice calls and sms

    Dear BB Support Community, 
    I have an issue with my Classic device that has been quite frustrating (I am very new to BB).  When I receive a phone call from one of my contacts, I can see who is calling. But when the same person sends a text message, only their phone shows up. The device is not connecting that number with the existing contact name.
    One of the causes of the problem is that my carrier, for some reason, decided to use the number of the caller without the country code when the person is making a phone call (something like 0xxxyyyyy). But when the same person is sending a text, the carrier adds the country code to that number (+ccxxxyyyyyy).
    What is frustrating is that all other android and nokia phones I have used previously had no problems with this difference on the carrier's use of area/country codes. But BB10 seems not able to connect these two numbers. 
    Can anyone help me?

    Open the phone app. swipe down from the top and go to Settings. Then go to Smart Dialing. Make sure the proper country and area code info is stored in there.

  • New iphone and not receiving some calls and txt's....Y???

    I just got the phone yesterday and they put a new sim in the phone. Immediately began to work and used it for most of the day with no problem. Then around 5 started not receiving texts back from people and also not receiving phone calls. Now the texts come in very late. Anywhere from 10-30 minutes after they have been sent and the phone calls are heading straight to my voicemail and not even ringing. I need help! Is this a hardware problem on the phone? Sim problem with ATT? HELP!!! Thank You!

    You'll need to contact ATT about this. They handle the voice and text portion of the phone.
