Twice in the last hour I've made calls on the phone, and twice the call has started fine, as you would expect, but then, the call goes completely garbled. An unintelligible digital mess.
Any ideas why, and has anyone else noticed this problem?
Sorry for the bump mods.
Has no-one else experienced this issue?
Could it be a carrier issue rather than the phone?
I just found it weird that yesterday two or 3 calls I made yesterday, in fairly close succession all had the same issue - ie garbled and incomprehensible audio.
Maybe I need to send the phone back?
I have the same problem on mine, but less frequently. It sounds like a Transformer and then I get cut off.
I'm with 3, so I just assumed it was a carrier problem rather than a handset problem.
Im on T-Mob and Ive got it 2-3 times as well!

i've tried searching this forum with no luck for results, so maybe someone can point me in the right direction...
just wondering if there is a fix for this issue, that apparently is a bug:
when receiving an incoming call, and while the phone ringer is turned on, it will ring for a split second then it will stop ringing. the call will still be coming through and i can answer it and talk just fine, it's just the ringer that is the problem. this happens randomly, and i've found numerous posts on other forums by searching google, but haven't been able to find anything here.
can't post a url so here's some quotes:
My Dinc sometimes stops ringing after half a second with incoming calls. I'd hear a very short ring and then it just stops ringing or vibrating. I just noticed this today after missing several calls with my phone today.
This problems comes on randomly and goes away in a similar fashion. This seems to happen only when the phone is lying screen down on a flat surface. I called HTC and they said it might be due to the sensor in the front and advised me to not put phone face down and always carry it in a pouch. This is not an acceptable solution. I carry my phone in my pocket and it can very well be face down in there.
Has anyone noticed this problem? If not, I invite you to reproduce this problem. Put your phone screen down on a perfectly flat surface and try to call your cell. I'm wondering whether my phone is defective or it's a much wider issue.
Thanks.
Update: Apparently there is a feature on HTC devices when if you're holding the phone and if it rings, it will mute if you put it on a surface face down. While this is fine, the problem with my device is that if I leave it on a flat surface, it will do that for all subsequent calls too (ring for half a second and then mute). Maybe my phone has a bug in implementation of this 'feature'?

It's a well known issue that HTC has not fixed and will most likely never fix. I've been through 3 Dincs because of this problem and they all do the same thing. Quite irritating! Nice phone except for this BIG bug.

is there any fix for this bug? and does anyone know if this bug is software or hardware related. currently, i'm running stock 2.2 rooted with city id deleted. thinking about flashing CM7 or another custom rom, and just curious if it will do this with those roms as well.
thanks for any help
Must be an issue with the stock rom. I've never had a problem. But I've also never ran the stock 2.2 rom. I ran stock 2.1 until root was achieved. Custom Rom's from there on out.

Also on my HTC Wildfire
This happens also on my htc wildfire android v2.2.1 (latest official rom), i think it is caused by the mute-on-pickup feature that is bugged in some way, even if i have turned it off.
Hi, just want to start out saying that the Evo is such an amazing phone!
But.... there is this issue.
Sometimes (less then %10 of the time) and at random as far as i know, when i am making and receiving a phone call I only hear my voice in an echo. Like when you have 2 phones, you call one, and talk and listen to both at the same time. I can NOT hear anything else except my own voice, when obviously the person on the other end is talking. I have to hang up and try again. One time, this happened 4 times in a row, but usually its just once.
When I'm at home, Im connected to the Airave. Im not sure this has anything to do with it as I dont specifically remember having this issue when Im not connected to it. Ill try to remember if this happens again when im not on the Airave.
Anyone have this problem?
I am rooted and am running a Sense based rom (something thats almost pure stock Sense).
Also, on another note, is there someway to fix the calling lag? what i mean is: someone calls me, on their end it rings 3-4 times before my phone actually starts ringing. (with the GV integration it was worse, it would ring 5-6 times, sometimes go to voicemail and my phone would either just start ringing or just a voicemail notification would pop up)
If nothing can fix this, can I at least change the number of rings? Im think 10 would work.
Thanks!
Every phone I've ever had, and I've had a lot of them, at some point would ring zero to one time on my end while the caller has heard several rings. The same thing can be said about the echo. I assume there are a number of reasons why those things occur including but not limited to roaming, cell handoff, signal strength & fluctuation and network problems. If you are experiencing the things you mentioned on a frequent basis, you may want to notify Sprint.

oh i forgot to mention that the echo problem never existed on the HTC Hero I had.
there was a call lag/bug (on the hero), but that was a 2.1 issue that was solved with a software update. By the time the update came out, I was already on cyanogenmod, so those issues didnt effect me.
Im thinking of trying out some gingerbread roms that have the updated Sense rom for the Evo. I havent seen one that i like yet (tbh, i havent really looked yet).
Could be this modified Sense rom? i dunno. Maybe I can find where I got it. It was included in a root method i used back in December.
I used to have echo on my evo until I upgraded to the newest radio found here...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=715485
Of course flashing a radio is dangerous so follow instructions thoroughly
tim
is it the kind of echo im referring too? were you only hearing yourself until you retried the call?
I get the echo, on my us cellular phone for work, a razor. It must just be a cellular thing.........
this echo has never happened on any other phone before. this leads me to believe that its software based on my phone. hardware would almost always repeat the problem. one of these days im going to flash another rom and see if that fixes it.
Hey guys,
Something really random just happened to me today. I was sleeping with my VZN Galaxy Nexus on my night stand when all of the sudden I heard a noise coming from my phone. I woke up and looked at it and noticed it was making a call to some number that starts with a "+2" and it was about 23 seconds into the call. I heard it say something that sounded like "Please wait while we prepare your photograph".
Needless to say, I freaked out and ended the call... but when I went to the call log that call was not there!
Has anyone had this happen to them or know what could be causing this?
Curious that you mention this; I was about to make a thread on the topic. Mine made a call around 6:30 AM CST. The number is *22899 and it's a number that you dial to update your PRL ("Please wait while your phone is being programmed"); it's the same as dialing *228 and hitting option 2. That said, I've never experienced a phone making the update by itself before.

Very weird indeed. That's around the same time my phone made the call... I guess I could see how I heard "prepare your photograph" instead of "being programmed" since I didn't have the phone up to my ear.
Anyone else?
Just a quick note, I noticed on Engadget that Verizon is having some data outages across the US. Maybe this has something to do with it?

Same here but mine happened at like 4 am or something. I had no idea wtf was going on...
Might be. I was going to add that I wasn't able to connect to the network at all this morning (though I've had an intermittent 3G signal just recently). I didn't even know they could remotely initiate a call like that; sort of creepy.
This just happened to me. Call is not in my recent calls list, it just automatically conencted. FYI I'm in the DC area so maybe its just something Verizons doing in different areas.
Just happened to me as well @ 2:30am PST. Happened twice actually. I ended the first call and the second one completed activation and hung up on its own. Odd.
Just happened to me TWICE again last night at 3AM... I had Data turned off completely too.
So I ended the call and 1 minute later it did it again.
I ended the second call and put it in Airplane mode for only a few seconds, then it never dialed any more last night
(I turn off Data when I go to sleep at night)
Hey folks, just wanted to see if anyone else is experiencing this problem and if a fix has been found or if it's an HTC problem with the phone design. This is happening to me frequently and it doesn't matter which ROM I am running, it happens on all of them. Whenever I'm on a call, the person on the other line will complain they cannot hear me (I'll hear them just fine). This will last for anywhere from 2-3 seconds to 15-20 seconds and may happen several times on a call.
Is anyone else having this issue? I've checked the web and there seems to be several discussions and compalints on several HTC forums about this problem but no fix so far, I checked a few pages on this thread and didn't see anything mentioned here so I was wondering if anyone else is affected.
Like i said, I have tried 4-5 different ROMs to see if any gave different results but no luck. So I'm leaning towards it being a hardware or design issue. I really like this phone but if this can't be resolved I guess it's back to Sammy for an S5.
Any input would be great, thanks.
Holy crap is everyone here able to transmit clearly on every call???
I updated to 5.1.1 and all seemed well, but today, my phone all of a sudden is calling people on its own. In one case I was speaking to someone on the speaker phone and watching the screen and it began calling a phone number while I the call was in progress. I am not sure that it began with the update, as I have possibly seen this before, but I could never pin it down. Has anyone seen this and short of a factory reset, are there any suggestions? Thanks.
