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!
The other day I took my phone out of my pocket and set it down. I watched as it unlocked itself, opened a new text message, and began typing gibberish. I could see the letters on the keyboard popping up and then moving around before settling on a letter. It got through about three gibberish words before a phone call came through and the phone began ringing.
I have had this happen before (gibberish texts sent to people) but have never caught it in the act. It seems to happen when an event is happening on the phone - either an incoming call or an alarm going off. It's like some instructions are being sent in the phone internally but are being manifested through input on the touch screen or into the Google Voice SMS app.
Anyone else see anything similar or know what might be going on?
I'm running unrooted with the latest OTA updates.

That is the most intense thing I have ever heard ever.
I'd root that baby. Maybe an Android "virus"?

ok, first off...
secondly, your thread title alone is tempting enough for me to post a reaction.
thirdly, maybe there's a delay in your screen touch input? or maybe someone has remote access into your evo? (this is going to make me sound dumb and ignorant, but please bear with me).. i know there are ways to get access into iphones to control them via commands through text messages. maybe that's happening with your evo?? again, i'm almost embarrassed to even be entertaining this idea since android is quite locked down in its nature, but it's the closest thing i could think of as a possible cause besides paranormal activity.
...which, in and of itself, sounds so awesome and creepy.
I had similiar things happen when using any custom rom based off the new ota..
Its something with the screen sensitivity they changed for the ppl who were having grounding issues..its the only thing I can think of..
I think I also have a paranormal situation of my own! Well maybe, but its very curious... A certain phone number/friend of mine has told me that my phone is calling him while my phone is completely idle. This has happened twice in the last 10 days or so. The first day he missed the call, the second time he was able to answer it and it was dead air. My phone was never touched; it was home alone the first time and it was streaming bluetooth music the second time. I know this sounds absurd, but unless it starts happening more frequently I guess I'll just deal with the mysteriousness of it all.

the ghost would have to use a hot dog for the screen to recognize him/her LOL..
i myself dont believe in ghost but thats trippy.
lol a floating hot dog typing things by its self. WTH I just laughed out loud and nearly woke my wife up. That was funny if you picture it in your head lol.
When i got my first Vogue, it would do that. Randomly resend text, send garbled text, and call people. Without any interaction whatsoever.

That is hilarious. I would have freaked out seriously. Is your phone rooted?
My phone is not rooted and was running stock with the latest OTA. I am leaning towards the theory that it is something to do with the latest OTA which addressed the grounding issue.
I enabled a password on my phone. Last night I kept hearing these little noises, like a bug beating its wings in really quick, short durations. I was looking all over before I realized it was coming from my phone. Face down, on my nightstand, it was randomly pressing buttons on the password screen and I was hearing the short vibrations of the tactile feedback. It had done it enough that I was locked out and had to wait 30 seconds.
Something's not right in Evo land.
You definitely need an exorcists.
Since you live in UT, I am sure there lots of Mormon High Priest that can help you out.
Good luck.

When trying to call a number within my own area code, the phone on the other end will ring, they'll answer, but all I will hear is my voice echoing back at me with a half second delay. Oddly though, after about 5+ tries, everything will work just fine. Anyone else having this issue? Sprint says it's a phone issue, I'm thinking service issue. Thoughts?
Think it's just easier/less headaches if you bring the phone back to Sprint and let them try and deal with that.
Turns out, it's a network issue in this area.
This is like my third thread in this forum. There are a lot of bugs on my device that are literally driving me crazy!
I've had this device since december and I was so impressed. I rooted and themed my phone completely about 2 months ago and everything has been golden.
Recently I've had these bugs/issues and its really annoying.
1.) Call drops as soon as I go to make a call. Usually happens at the worst times when I really need to use the phone. Also sometimes when I make a call it says please turn off airplane mode when I NEVER turned off airplane mode to begin with. Its like 50/50 as to which problem occurs.
2.) Call forwarding automatically turns on randomly. Phone is in my pocket, I look at it and it has the call forwarding icon in the notification bar. I go to turn it off and it allows me to, but it will not let me disable it forever. Says my carrier does not allow it or something. (this never happened before)
3.) Forgets voicemail number. I get a voicemail and in the notification is says "voicemail number unknown". I change it manually in the settings and its fine for a few days, then happens again.
Does anyone have any clue wtf is going on and how to fix these bugs?
Use a stock rom

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.
