[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Well, if you really did the delete slot, recreate, flash only cm11 good and pa-gapps, then we know where you are at, no strange settings, no system files altered. That is where I am trying to get with you so I can "assume" everything else being normal. ;)

* Please do not BS me about the wipe and fresh install. We really need your phone in "that condition" in order to proceed. Not being disrespectful, but "going clean" is like cleaning out the catbox with your hands. Most people just do not want to do it. LOL! :laugh:

(I believe you, I just need to make sure. Please excuse my directness about this issue.)

Wow, this is a mystery. We need Columbo on this case! Don't worry, I will stick it out. Hopefully, if I can get enough information out there between us, someone with prior experience can chime in with some assistance. We just have to explore this a little more deeply. (Yeah, I know. You are sick of it by now but, ...soldier on brave man!)

[MENTION=3457922]stargo[/MENTION] has not been answering messages for the past week or two, he may be out on seminar. But, if we gather enough information, he would be ideal to employ for assistance with this issue. For now, let us gather all of the possible information and clues we can get. :)

When you get this "red network signal", what does it say at the very bottom of the Notification Bar pull-down menu (Left Side, not Settings side.)? It should say at the very bottom of the black pull-down area "Verizon Wireless" or "No Service" (I got THAT message when my bill was really, really late and they killed my service until I paid Verizon). It will also show your connection status on the lock screen. See screenshots attached. Perhaps the red signal is not about signal but is some sort of other error or restriction on the device.

NOTE:

If you can "catch yourself" in one of these "red zones", please go directly to /Settings/About Phone/Status/ read and record your "real time" signal strength. The Signal Strength in dBm is a near "real time" meter, meaning, if it is fluctuating, you will be able to see it. -80dBm is good. You should still achieve connectivity at or near -100dBm, although at a reading like that, you may not even see one bar lit in your status bar. I am at -81dBm and steady right now. I have 5 full bars of signal. Attaching a screenshot for you to see where to look.

Found this when searching for your "Outgoing calls are restricted by FDN" issue:

I'm so sorry you are having trouble making calls out. FDN stands for Fixed Dialing Number, a feature that allows users to restrict their outgoing calls and messages to selected phone numbers. If this is not resolved by rebooting the device, a new SIM card will address this concern for you. You can pick up one at a corporate store for no cost or by reaching out to us. Keep me posted if you need further assistance.

Thanks,

Web forum here:

outgoing calls are restricted by the FDN

They recommend a "soft reboot" or if that does not work, a new SIM card. One users stated that the soft reboot "worked like a charm".

If you have FDN enabled on the SIM card, getting a replacement might not be enough since Verizon would duplicate what is already on your SIM card and give you a new one. You may have to ASK them to remove the FDN restriction, IF, that is the issue.

Motorola describes this feature here:

What is the Fixed Dialing feature and how can I activate it?

More from Motorola discussion group. They say that "Your IMEI is not a commercial IMEI" or "Your phone has been reported lost, stolen or faulty" Plausible, if your IMEI got blacklisted somehow.

The message of "restricted by FDN" refers to a setting that can be locked with a PIN on the device where a user cannot "dial any number they want". Like for kids or employees. You can enable or disable this option in CM11 in the dialer, settings, "Fixed Dialing Numbers". You can enable or disable it, assign a lock PIN for it, and make a list of what calls can be made and nothing else. Check to make sure you have not accidentally enabled this feature. Once you clear that, do me a favor, install this app and see if you can send text messages, and what, if any, errors you get.

GO SMS Pro

It is not connected with Google, Motorola, or Verizon in any way and is free. I never have an issue with it and the errors you get from it, or lack thereof, may be of help.

Do your homework and report back please. :highfive:

EDIT:

I finally got stargo on email. He is away but should be back by the weekend. So, we do have an expert or at least someone with access to the radio developers at CyanogenMod to help us. For now, gather more information. ;)
