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)

lol hadn't noticed that. I've never had any CW problems with CDMA whatsoever.
I just learned two things at once!

Thanks, but I don't see the merge call feature you are referring too. I am familiar with what you are talking about though.

Ooooh, I see it now, but I guess that this is more if a call waiting issue. When I am on the phone and receive another call I can't merge the calls.

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? ;-)

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
Sent from my second wife using swype on xda app
I don't know if anyone has ever mentioned this but the stock diaker/call app is a buggy mess. There is absolutely no way to merge a call, there is no way to end a single call when you have two going. Even if someone calls why you're on a call, and they hang up, their name will still be on the screen until you hang up both calls. Does this happen to everyone?

Ending a call while on another call yes.... Sprint sucks for that as it ends both calls if you press end. I was hoping that the new vision network would fix that.
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!

Hey, I bought my note 2 last Wednesday and since day one its been dropping calls, well kind off. when i answer a call few seconds or minutes the phone mutes, the call doesnt really drop but the sound on both sides of the line mutes. untill i hang up and call again. i can hace full bars and still happens... i believe its a software glitch or something. hopefully samsung fix this before i return this phone next week.

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

I experience something similar. I got tmobile note 2 on att .after like 5 min talking .my mic mutes.i can hear the other person but they dont hear me ,till i put speaker
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda app-developers app
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?
-Wizzle
I just hit swap and then the person im hanging up with disconnects from me
I like to break stuff!

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?

so pretty much im laying down talking on the phone and during the call all of a sudden the other person cant hear me, i can hear them but they cant hear me. so at first i thought its the signal, but i have full bars. then i turned off the option where if you place your phone facing down that itll mute, but the problem continues. so today i noticed that when that happens, i leave the phone where it is, press the speaker option and it works! so it isnt the signal! can any body tell me if its a setting im missing or is it something i should take it back to the att store?
are you sure the screen is shutting off? perhaps your cheek is hitting the mute/unmute icon (speaker icon)?
Ive had this exact problem for the last year with my s4. Always assumed it was something with the gyro inside. Its really annoying

I faced the same problem once, last week. But I just ignored it, imagining it would be something to do with bad network. I should try to simulate the issue again and see if it's persistent..
Maybe try turning off the motion options in the settings? I turned those off right when I got the phone and I haven't had this issue.

To be honest ive wondered that myself, but even tho i havent checked, last night when it occurredto me to try and press the speaker button to see if it will work (which it did) it did not have the mute button pressed... so because of last night, id have to go with no, it isnt pressed and the screen is black

No, loke i said... that feature was turned on then i turned it off having the same effect
So anyone know a fix or know if i should take it to att for a replacement ?
issue I'm having is odd...I think it correlates to Bluetooth, but still working with advanced tech support. when I change towers, whether I receive or make a call, the phone drops all connection and says "out of service area". then comes right back. seems better without Bluetooth, but still happens. tech has no answers yet. already replaced sim twice and registered phone several times.
EDIT: I turned on the UTMS HD Voice using the hidden diagnostic menu and after 5 test calls today, no drops. Not sure if it is coincidence or something else...
Experiencing call issues too

I've also been experiencing similar issues, 2 issues in particular
1. During a call, I suddenly can't hear the other person or they suddenly can't hear me and I have to end the call and call back
2. I attempt to place a call, it rings and then when the other party picks up I hear nothing, they hear nothing. I sometimes have to call twice or three times before there's a successful call and I hear them and them hear me.
These issues occur randomly, with and without bluetooth. I've tried factory resetting the phone but the problem has continued.
I purchased my phone from Amazon.

Yea I found them last night, I'd missed them somehow before. I have it enabled but haven't noticed anything as far as being more clear or a specific icon on the screen. I remember having seen another thread on this, maybe it was in the Verizon forum, that stated the UTMS was not even the right network option to enable the HD though? Does anybody know for sure?
