If you are on the phone and get a 2nd call on call waiting you can answer it and the phone will automatically put the first call on hold. Say you tell the 2nd caller you will call them back and then want to switch back to 1st call. If you press "End" it hangs up on both callers. If you press "Menu" there is an option to "Hang up all calls" or something similar which again does the same thing I don't want. I can't find a way to just hang up on ONE call. Is this a bug or am I just missing something?
Ok, so no one uses the phone feature of the EVO? No one has ever had a call come though on call waiting?
Can anyone just help me verify whether this problem is just my own or happens for everyone?
Press talk to switch back
You can't hang up on the held caller only

Thanks for the reply. I don't want to hang up on the held caller, but I want to hang up on the active caller. Every other HTC phone I've used in the last 5 years will hang up on the active caller and then switch you back to the held caller. Did they really mean for it to hang up on both at once? Does anyone else's phone do this?
My understanding is that this is some limitation of CDMA. All my sprint/verizon phones have had this same issue.
Every Sprint phone I've had has been this way. I think it is an issue with their network and not the phone itself. There is no way to hang up on just one of the callers.
Thanks everyone. The carrier is the problem then. I was with AT&T before this phone and never had Sprint before. Not a huge fan, but its ok.
That is really annoying because I'm constantly hanging up on my friends when my girlfriend decides to call and tell me some lame story that happened to her.

Cool, Thanks for the info guys. I thought my Evo was retarded or something.
Got the same problem here on my evo also had three problem on my hero...
Question though will it burn up minutes with both calls sitting there?
Ive had where I was done with one call and switched back to thee one that was on hold the whole time just to heat their voice mail giving me options

Everytime my phone gets unlocked by pressing the menu button in my pocket, is there a way to disable this?
Thanks
I would also like to know how to do this. Could this be implemented into 2.91 please paul?!!
+1 - made a lot of accidental calls in my pocket .. this forced me to activate that annoying and slow unlock pattern
Wow, things got buried fast over in the CDMA forums. We got a little extra info from digging around in our phones about this same problem. I don't think any of us have solved it yet but hopefully the info will be useful to solve it for everyone eh?

Little bump
Put the phone face down in your pants, no way of pressing the menu screen that way
also protects the screen for breaking bij any bumps or something.
Always have my hero in my pants never ever made an accidental call.

that is the only way. also with the programm lock 2.0 the screen still get on every time.
when the hero is in my pants, it's also making calls.
It's always calling my girlfriend, no matter if I lock it, or have it face down.
I came to the conclusion, that it was not the hero that was dialing numbers from my pants..
I thought this would be simple for the devs running a command that just disabled that button, but hey im not a dev, i know **** about it thanks for looking into it anyway

All joking aside; putting in a security pattern to unlock will take away the problem, though you'd have to draw the pattern every time you want to unlock..

Only problem is you're still able to call 911 or whatever since the emergency button is vis/pushable...

What a coincidence!
When I put my Hero in my trousers it also calls your girlfriend!!
hahahahhaha nice joke YOUR PENIS called your girlfriend
Okay enough jokes about your penis having its own life and calling his friends
Anyone was able to find a solution yet?
Let me first preface this by saying that I have done a search...
I am coming from Tmobile, and have owned 3 Android phones on that network. I have noticed the flaw on sprint/sense of not being able to hang up on a second call waiting caller. However, I also am very shocked that it seems like you cannot merge two calls. Is there something that I am missing? Is there something either in settings or even a rom that will enable that ability? I really use the conference call ability a lot. thanks
hit the menu softkey
when your on a call and you receive a call or want to make another call just hit the soft menu key at the bottom of your device. then you will get the "phone application menu slide up screen" there you can add another call or if you received another call you can "flash" between calls. once you have both calls and you see the active call light be green while the other call is on hold is light up in orange. if you hit the menu soft key during this process of calls being hold/active you will see a new option in the slide up menu that says "merge calls" with a lane merge sign similar to when your on the highway.
hope this is what your question was in reference to
edit-i believe if you want to hang up on a previous call. just touch the caller and it will hang that call, but will remain on the screen with a red light on it.(uncertain though)

it does for me, here's what happens.
-call comes in
-answer
-second call comes in
-hit answer and it puts the other call on hold
-I hit switch or merge calls
-nothing happens
-I hang up on the second call
-both calls end
Now what is supposed to happen is that my phone rings back with the first call, however this almost never happens and I lose both calls.

Haha this happens to me with all my sprint phones. It happened on my TP, my TP2, and my Evo, so at the very least, it's not an android or Evo problem, it's a CDMA problem. You're not alone.
I feel kinda perplexed when I think of "smartphones" with all their awesome features, but they just can't seem to get the phone part down... ie, iPhone 4 signal issues, CDMA call waiting/merging.. I guess that society is going backwards

I agree, I had already all these phones and there is some kind of flaw on all of them. Maybe I will try one of the windows phone 7's. HD7 looks pretty need ... Anyone knows what will be wrong with that? ;-)
After I updated to stock Froyo, my phone started muting during calls. No face pressing of buttons, and the mute button wasn't on. It just muted itself, and the only way for me to fix it was to turn speakerphone on and off. I thought rooting the phone and putting a custom ROM (Syndicate Frozen) on the phone might help, so I did just that. The problem is still on-going.
Does anyone else have this problem? Is there any solution? My Epic is my main phone and it's done this on a few very important phone calls a few times already. Before I take it into Sprint I just was curious if there's a simple, less having-to-deal-with-face-to-face-tech-support kind of way.
Thank you. I apologize if this has been answered already.
Is the phone muting your voice so that the caller can't hear you, but you can still hear the caller?
I had the exact same thing happen with my Epic and I ended up having Sprint exchange it for another phone.
Out of curiosity, what happens if you turn on speakerphone?
Ahh, yes that's exactly what happens. They can't hear me, but I hear them perfectly fine. Usually what I hear is, "Are you there? Hey, are you there?" a few times before I realized what happened, and no matter how many times I tell my mom to just stay on the line and I'll fix the problem in two seconds after it dawns on me what happened, she always hangs up in a huff.
When I turn on speakerphone they can hear me right away, then I just turn it back off and everything is fine the rest of the call. It doesn't even happen every call, which is the best part. I'll be in the middle of a 10 minute conversation and it will mute itself, then the next phone call will last 45 minutes with no problems.
Does the mute icon show it's on? Did you try backing up and simply switching roms? If there's too much trouble, odin ec05 and take it in to repair if the problem still exists.

Thank you for the tips, ya'll. I'm going to first update the ROM I'm using now (as there is an update out). If that doesn't help it's off to Sprint I go.
Thanks again.

when you go make sure its a corporate store they have the techs and tell them you already called customer service (dont bother calling them there gonna tell you to factory reset...........every time i have called i can hear that that most if not all are reading from a scrip) then the tech will try to get out of helping you by saying its the towers (bull sh$%) that the most popular answer you will get........ And for the bad news the phone that u will get is a referb
did you try to updat the PRL and profile?
AND FOR GOD SAKES if your rooted got back to stock 2.2 EC05
My phone did the same thing after the upgrade. It is random though. The phone mutes during calls randomly but mute button doesn't light and my face hasn't hit it. I've been trying to find out how to correct the problem, but my Epic was working fine until the upgrade.
Hi All,
I got the Tmobile Note 2 couple days ago and have been slowing increasing my usage. I have discovered a problem that I would need to the community to help me resolve to identify if I have a bad phone, or it maybe a more serious design flaw.
First, I have repeatedly able to pinpoint the problem: If you are using the hotspot that T-mobile provides for you, and you are tethering with your device; when someone calls you and you accept the call, the chances of the phone hanging up on its own without any human interaction increases dramatically if there are connections using the hotspot, i.e. Another device connecting/disconnecting from the hotspot, or lots of data traffic, etc...
The dropped calls looks likes the phone just hung up the line in the middle of a phone call. To me, the "dropped call" can be anywhere between 5 seconds to 5 minutes. I was able to repeat this issue at least 10 times in a row already and thus my concern. I have identified and replicated this problem at many many different location with many many different signal strengths, indoor, outdoor, in the car, on the can... etc....
If you guys can repeat this problem, let us know, because I do not realize any limitation of simultaneous of using the hotspot feature and the voice calling radio.
thanks ALL!
Just wanted to report back:
I just got back from the tmobile store with a brand new Note 2, and when I tested in store, guess what?
It happened the same way on the new device!!!
I'm pretty sure that it is either the design flaw of the Note 2, or there is something wrong with the build of Tmobile or JB.
Nevertheless, I hope some experts can point out what can be done to resolve this, and maybe people who have flashed to the custom roms can see if they can replicate the problem.
Basically, turn on Hotspot, connect a tethering device to the hotspot, call the phone on another line, answer the call, then disconnect a device from the hotspot.
Chances are the phone will automatically hang up the call after the first couple of tries of connecting and disconnecting the tether devices.
Thank you!

There are some serious flaw in the software/hardware in this phone. I have been able to replicate this problem with 100% success. Just go and turn hotspot on, and tell someone to call you, soon enough the phone will hang up the call.
I'm thinking hard of just not needing such a big screen and go for a nexus 4 instead.

I have experienced this problem with almost every network and phone.... Not necessarily the T-mobile app but tethering apps in general... Even if your device supports data and voice I have experienced this with pretty much all apps but I don't know if it's just me or what.... I don't really have a problem with it as I don't accept calls when I'm tethering anyways... Just my .02 cents

Well, for me its slightly different....
1. Wifi calling enabled and activated (blue icon)
2. if someone calls me 5, 10 , 15 min etc... later, the caller hears silence and the phone does not ring.
3. happens every damn time. I plan on calling tmobile about this....
4. the only time it works is if i make an outbound call, and within a couple mins someone can call me.. but if the phone sits there for more than a few min.. nobody can call me.
I was in a call when someone else called in and the phone froze up happend several times im really considering returning this phone

[Q] How to hang up ONE caller when in three way or conference or have two people on a line.
Does anyone have the same issue where they can't hang up only one person when they have two people on the line?
when I hit end it always hangs up everyone.
I called sprint and they told me that it was the phones lack of this functionality. so if that's true is there a way to mod the phone to be able to hang up only one person at a time?

I just hit swap and then the person im hanging up with disconnects from me

Unfortunately Sprint is correct. This has been an issue since way back in the days. No mod has ever been made for Android. Brings back memories of when I had the Palm Treo I remember they did have a mod for that phone to enable call flash support. Hopefully someday we can enjoy it too. It's really useful!

Yeah but if that other person you swapped from doesn't hang up the line stays active and when you hang up your phone rings back with them on the line.

You have to hang up on the person you wish to hand up on before they hang up on you..It will end both calls but the person phone on the other line will call you back by itself like you never hanged up..try it..I learned this by accident. It's weird because the other person doesn't call you back..the phone does automatically..

I know what you mean. But that's kind of stupid that I have to wait for the call to come back and ring back to my phone. I would prefer to just instantly switch to the other line.
I'm wondering if anyone knows why this was never a mod that was made. are there certain complexities involved that can't be changed?
