Hmmm...
Strangest thing... and this is the first time I've ever had a problem with any phone on MetroPCS.
I'm charging my Motion today when I got home (as I always do). I needed to use it, so I took it off the charger about an hour later. All of a sudden, I received 11 texts all in a row (from the same person). I tried to send some texts back, but all I got was the "Sending..." message on the text bubble.
I decided to call. So I called... when I did, the signal was so lousy, I could barely hear. The lousy signal isn't totally unusual; sometimes it happens on Metro in my area. So I tried to send a few more texts later. Same result ("Sending...",.. then failure). THEN I couldn't call out. I also couldn't receive any calls (goes right to voice mail).
When I say I can't call out, I mean that -- when you dial -- it stays on the dialing screen with the "Dialing..." message. Then after about 1.5 mins of hearing NOTHING (no ring, nada), it just says "Call Ended".
Some notes:
1.) Nothing newly installed on phone.
2.) Phone is pretty much stock except for Nova, standard apps (no root)
3.) Nothing out of the ordinary at all done today with the phone (or any day for that matter).
4.) 4G icon shows clearly.
5.) 3G works as well.
6.) Wi-Fi works.
7.) Can browse net. Access anything online (web, podcasts, Google Play store, Pandora, etc.).
8.) Can't even dial 611!
9.) Can't call own number (voicemail).
Lastly,... I spent over an hour with Metro using a landline to do so. Not very helpful as they basically took me through a script (PRL update, MIN check, blah blah). I got disconnected or transferred or dropped three times during that hour, too, having to repeat the whole episode with a "new" rep each time. Finally, I was told that they were "updating the system" and that I should try calling/texting in an hour or so.
Well.. I waited. No calls/texts working still. Anyone had this happen? I'm in Northern California (San Fran Bay Area).
Total drag. What could be wrong?
