Check your sound and ringtone settings.. It might be that the sound you had setup is no longer working or has been deleted, or whatever. Try other ringtones.

ok i trying that, how about this i have a tone that on my blackberry it was a notifer, but on the Epic is showing only as a ringtone and wont give it to me as a option for a notifier tone?

Also do you have any call blocking or call screening apps? Had one of those and most of the time the phone wouldn't ring. Deleted it and phone worked perfectly/ Sprint allows call number blocking via their website.

Try zedge in the market for all of your ringtone, notification, and wallpaper needs.

That's the problem then. You don't need it.

They hide it well. Under My Preferences scroll down to permissions to Block Voice.

Thank You very much for this info......I've been using Mr. Number and I too have had some issues w/ my sound dropping off and I have to reboot to fix it. Hopefully uninstalling Mr. Number will fix it. Updating my Sprint account to ignore the #'s instead! Damn solicitors!!!!!!!!!!!

Call ignoring!!

Hi!
I'm newbie here and after searching all threads and found nothing so I'm looking for an app that can ignore a call from a blackilist of numbers without showing anything on the phone's display but also without hanging up the caller! There is an iphone app giving this "ignore" option called iBlacklist if I'm helping!!
Thanks!!
pamarakos
Goto "settings > call settings > all calls > auto reject"
Don't want to reject and show it to him, meaning hang up!!!
Just want to ignore him!!!
I found this:
http://www.appbrain.com/app/call-blocker-gold/blacknWhite.CallBlocker.Gold
There is an option "silence", which should do the job.
There is Easy Filter, block calls and or sms.
Search it on the market.

Try "profile" by noimjosh in the market, you can add the whitelist function and set up different ring profiles. You can name one "home" and then specify the whitelist people and they will be the only ones that ring through. You will still get other calls and texts etc they just wont ring or notify when they come through. Its a paid app but well worth it.

Does anyone have any experience with this app from the market?

Why bother? There is a blacklist on your phone already that blocks calls....
I use that, however I haven't figured out how to block unknown numbers is why I ask. Also, the built in app allows blocked callers to leave voicemail

Only thing I notice with this app is that it shut off data at reboot and takes a bit to turn back on. Other than that, it works as it should

All apps will take the caller to voicemail unless you call tmobile and tell them to change it. I had to do it when I used the call blocker app on vibrant before I found the blacklist. After you have tmo change it, if you stop the ring by rejecting the call or if they are on blacklist, it will ring busy. If you let the call "ring out" for lack of a better term, it will take the caller to voicemail. Also, there should be a tab in the blacklist to reject unknown callers.
thanks for the info very helpful
it would help if I had the Unknown number checked in the auto reject options
thanks again
i have used "MR. Number" from Market and it worked pretty good for me.
I use extreme call blocker. and you can set it like pick up and hang up. found in the market
Yep, the two best ones are made by the same company:
Root Call Blocker (for general use):
https://market.android.com/details?id=fahrbot.apps.rootcallblocker.beta
Call Master (for advanced users):
https://market.android.com/details?id=fahrbot.apps.blacklist
These are the only blockers that completely block everything without turning the screen on. Need to be rooted though.

Voice calls always answer with speaker phone on

When not using Bluetooth my voice calls always answer with speaker phone on. How do I default the calls to SP off? I've searched and found a few ideas but none work.
Os this a Goolgle voice thing or related to my ROM? I use Caulkin and I have had this issue for aqhile.

Do you use GV to make & receive calls? Is your phone paired with your GV account, or do you simply use GV for voicemail?
I just use GV for voice mail.

hmm...never thought of that. ****s super annoying!!!
Nope, no Voxer. I'm not even sure when the problem started. It could have been before I started using Google Voice for voice mail (integrated with Sprint).
I haven't found any GV settings that would enable the speaker phone on the phone.

There is a GV setting for answering with speaker on. If your phone is integrated, it might be forcing your phone. Try changing that setting or even freezing GV and see if anything changes
I have this issue too wether I have apps or not installed and even b4 I rooted. I think it's a glitch with the phone itself. It's annoying! It doesn't always do it but when it does it looks stupid that I got the phone to my ear and then the person bust out on the speaker smh

Is it possible your phones are in car mode or the "Driving Mode" that the Samsung version of Vlingo installs? I think one of the car mode features is to automatically answer calls in speakerphone mode.

My driving mode is never on. It just does it idk y.. Maybe it saves the last calls setting so if you hang up on speakerphone the next call comes thru on it. Idk but I will test it out tomorrow and see.

I know this is months late, but my wife's phone just randomly started doing this. Go to voice talk in apps tray, then hit menu button, then scroll down to voice talk settings, then disable auto speaker on answer.
This just worked for us. Just in case anyone else comes looking for the answer.

Weird phone calling problem

I was wondering if this has happened to anyone else, Someone called my phone about 3-4 times but it never rang. Thenmy phone does ring and they say I called them, when it was my phone that just rang and I answered, I didnt make any call. Both of our phones somehow automatically called each other. My call log shows an incoming call from that person, and their phone shows an incoming call from me at exactly the same time. Anyone know the reason why?
Lol someone probably prank called you using the application evil operator. It connects two phones and you can record the conversation. It's quite a nice app.

Are you on stock? I know with AOKP you have to change the sounds, default is silent ringtones.
