[Q] Call Problems CM10.1.3-RC

Flashed cm10.1 release candidate today. Everything seemed fine, then I discovered I wasn't receiving calls and wasn't able to make calls either. Anybody have any similar issues? Anyone have any suggestions as to what I may have done to cause this or if there are any settings I may need to change? Please help. Thanks in advance.
I literally just had this problem and spent the past 5 hours with useless tech support.
Don't call Sprint tech support, they just end up doing something on their end that makes you lose your texting and data, too. They ****ed me so hard I have to go into a repair center.
I can't even get another phone correctly activated in the meantime to use as a placeholder.
I'm just as lost as you are, too.
Try ##786# menu and reset. Make sure you are in a good signal area, this will do hands free activation and update prl.

The problem with trying that is the phone number and MSID fields are now blank, and going into the other dialer menu ##221542# and setting them that way doesn't stick past the reboot it forces when you try and apply those.
Maybe try following this thread

Tried that a couple different times with a couple different tech support reps, each time the phone number and MSID don't stick afterwards.
Sorry I tried, I don't have any other ideas. Hopefully someone else can help.

My older phone is finally activated (took well over an hour for calls and data to come back to it, by far the longest I've ever seen a phone take). So at least I have a phone again.
Good luck OP, I'm going to visit a Sprint store tomorrow to see what they say. Report back in on whatever it is you try and what you find does/doesn't work.
Did you try set ril.class to HTCCDMAQUALCOMMRIL in the build.prop

I couldn't seem to find that line but I'll look for it again after work. What line is it numerically and what exactly does the line say?

Yeah, I just read through the entire thing, that line is missing. I'll add it in and see what changes.
Posting again instead of editing for the sake of the bump.
Let me know if this works for you. This is driving me crazy.

It didn't do anything. I'm heading to a Sprint store right now.

Back from the Sprint store, the rep I had happens to be a flasher like one of us. I explained to him what had happened and he got right to ordering me a new phone after a $50 deductible.
So, OP, we were both SOL. The MSID had gotten corrupted (similar to how in the early days of the Galaxy S3, it had a chance to lose its ESN) and couldn't be re-written. Only thing to do is get a replacement.

Navigation

Sometimes, when I am navigating, maps does not know where I am. For example when I come to a stop at a "T" intersection, maps shows me about 100 feet away from the intersection and then, when I make the turn, it may show me as going straight. *It eventually catches up to me. This does not happen all the time but enough to be annoying and dangerous. *I've tested it with my son's and husbands motoX side by side with and they don't have the issue. *Does anyone know if this is a software or a hardware issue? *Do other people have this problem too?

I'm not trying to question your smarts but do you switch to high accuracy mode? From battery saver or device only? You could also go into WiFi settings and let WiFi scan while off, it will get a better lock on your location.

I am in high accuracy mode and scan for Wi-Fi while off is set. Not insulted at all.

Are you on T-Mobile network?

Yes T-Mobile

I'd think the relates to the other thread we're in at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2593098
I'm really going that we can get some action in this from Motorola as this is really not acceptable as location based use is really becoming a staple of smartphone use beyond just navigation. Tweet this thread to Motorola support.

[Q] [T-Mobile] Any way to get Google Wallet Tap & Pay to work with the GFlex?

I downloaded Google Wallet from the Play Store, but the Tap & Pay feature is greyed out. Is this due to T-Mobile pushing ISIS or is it a secure sim issue? Is there a way to make it work on T-Mobile? I used my sim from my previous phone. Should I use the one provided for this phone in the box? I'm not sure if it's one of those secure sim cards.
Does anyone else have Google Tap & Pay working on their phone?
Well, I just read that Google wallet tap and pay requires kit Kat 4.4 without a secure element or a phone with a secure element and gingerbread+.
I have a secure sim, wallet still doesnt work

The secure sim only works for Isis, Google Wallet either needs a phone with a secure element or Kit Kat.
I down loaded it from the play store , installed and it works fine. I'm T-Mobile D959 only rooted with some xposed mods and theming done to it.

It doesn't look like you've got tap to pay working though. I believe that a tap to pay tile should be above the "send money" tile.

Oh OK. Wasn't aware of that. I know on the GS4 I just came from on AT&T it wouldn't even open. Forced closed and if you went to the play store it said incompatible device so I guess I assumed since it installed and opens it works fully. My bad. Lmao didn't mean to get anybody's hopes up.

Call tapping !!!

Hello guys !
This is a serious matter for me and i want a fact related (maybe) answer. I want to know if there is any way to stop call tapping on note 5. Or if there is a device that cannot be tapped.
Thank you
Try getting a Blackphone. Just do a Google search for it. The latest one actually looks pretty decent.

Actually this is the qa thread

Instead of buying the blackphone or blackphone 2 you could download the maker's (silent cirlce) app "silent phone". it let's you make encrypted calls and texts. And if you wanted to be really cautious install the TOR software "Orbot". If your note 5 is rooted you can set ALL traffic to go over the TOR network.

Thought about it again, then i decided it was probably bc i went to china and plugged in a chinese ssim and i hadnt configured the gnow yet when i was there, so it probably screwed it up. Factory reset it, but thanks for the info anyway!
