Phone does not ring sometimes? - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

At first I thought the rom I flashed on my GS2X was screwed so I flashed a stock rom and found the same was happening. Sometimes when a call comes in the phone does not ring and appears to be in silent mode when it is not?
Anyone know of some 'feature' that may be causing this?

You could try something, and I know itl sound weird but,
Change your ringtone, I had it happen to me a few times when I tested some of the roms on here..
That usually helped for me.
Or simply to you have motion on? Lol if so turning it upside down mutes it lmfao
Go to settings>MOTION>turn over to mute xD
And if that is it, I'm not gonna pick on ye, my buddy was wining about the same thing couple months ago n it was that, he got it for a few weeks.. I had my fun..

Thanks. I use phoneweaver to automatically change ringers and volume levels based on location etc and I think the settings aren't 'sticking' properly. I have never had issues until now on this phone. I noticed when this app changes the screen brightness even though the new value is shown in settings it has not actually changed. Maybe the same thing was happening on the ringer? The last time a call came in with no ring I quickly rebooted without changes and it rang when I called the phone so who knows...
I'll test further.

When im talking on the phone my notifcation ringer wont turn off at all.

So when im talking on the phone and i get a incoming text message or email you drag down the notification bar and it stops ringing NO not my phone it keeps going until the entire ring-tone is done. Normally this is not a problem when your ringtone is 1-3 seconds long BUT when your ringers is an entire minute+ long its a HUGE problem cause you cant hear what the person is is saying with loud music coming through the same speaker....Ive been keeping the tones short lately but this problem needs to be addressed......The only way for the music to stop is to let it play all the way through or restart the phone ive tried opening the message and i tried deleting the message nothing works but those 2 options can some1 help btw im on fd26 but this has been a problem since i can remember at least build fd19.
The issue appears to be that a ringtone has been assigned by default for notifications. If this is from a custom ROM load, it should be addressed (clearly) with the developer, not here in the Q/A section.
The only thing you can do to correct the problem for now is to change the notification sound for each app (and the default one as well) to a proper one.
im on a stock rom so im not sure if its a bug or just my phone issue.

[Solved] Random Max In-Call Volume & Max In-Call Volume on each reboot

Whenever I make or receive a call, I see my in-call volume at maximum level! I don't understand why it keeps doing this? I noticed this problem on all 3 of note 2. I keep adjusting to low but randomly just gets reseted to max again. Anyone else having the same issue with T-Mobile Note 2?
Update: finally found the culprit of this problem. The app "Tango" video chat messes with the in-call volume. Once account & app was uninstalled even after the reboot in-call volume setting never changed. Everything stayed as I left it and no more random MAX in-call volume.
Video to show what Tango is doing to my in-call volume.
Nobody has this issue? how come all 3 of my Note 2 has this issue =/
Anyone?
Sorry, this doesn't help but I usually keep my in-call volume at max so I haven't noticed this.

Thanks for the reply. I don't know how you keep the volume at max.. maybe it's just my phones but it's too painfully loud for me.
Would you mind trying to lower the call volume to lowest setting and restart the phone? See if the call volume goes back to max, I would really appreciate that.
For whatever the reason, the volume setting is not getting saved. So annoying since everytime i answer a call, it's trying to blow my eardrums out!
I'm guessing nobody has this in-call volume issues on their T-mobile Note2? Should I be considering an exchange....??
Just FYI multiple post saying anyone? Anyone? Pple just find annoying. Not trying to be rude. But from what I noticed from posts from other forums. Is when pple do that. They will never receive help or a reply from someone. Especially when the OP keeps doing that all in the same day.
Sometimes if you want help. You need patience. Especially here on xda. Pple here don't live there lives to help you. Right when you make a new post. Sometimes it could take days or even a week or two. But I'm positive if you don't do multiple post like this. And wait or even search the web. Even user a different phone. You will find ur answer. Remember google is ur best friend.
Anyways I don't no if its because of my rom or not but mind keeps going to vibrate and I have to keep turning it back to sound + vibrate
Oh ya you also have to be detailed when asking questions. Are you rooted or not. Stock or flashed a rom. Which rom. ...you get the point. The more you tell use the more likely a chance someone will help you. If you choose not to look it up urself
My bad, wasn't trying to be annoying or anything. I searched around in many different forums but still no answers and didn't get any replies on this issue, even the t-mobile support didn't know what was causing this issue. I guess I was running thin on patience.
I'm running all on stock and all 3 devices does this. T-Mobile sales rep said maybe it's part of the feature.. But we all know that's b/s. Changing in-call volume randomly doesn't sound much like a great feature to me....

Ya unfortunately that sucks. If you were rooted I would say try to flash a different rom. But since ur not my best guess would be to search around for an app that has something to do with volume/ in call volume. There's an app for everything these days. Ur just gunna have to read all the details in every volume app you can find. I'm sure there's something. Good luck. If you happen to find something. Post it hear in case others run into the same problem as you in the future.
Am I the only one with this problem? I wish some of the same device/carrier users would give me some feedbacks so I can figure out what to do....
you talking about in call volume or ringer volume? if its in call volume im pretty sure that if i lower it during a phone call it stays that volume even on the next call
im not 100% sure though...and im not sure if it stands through a reboot but i am pretty sure...cause i dont leave my in call volume on max because it is quite loud and distorted...if it always went back up to max i probably wouldve noticed..again not 100% sure

It's the in-call volume. I have no idea what's causing this... When I lower the volume it will stay that way only for that call and next call or sometimes even during the call volume goes up to max randomly. It's driving me nuts cause it's so loud and I can't even answer the call without worrying its gonna blow my eardrums!
I tried restoring factory but that didn't help and all three of my Note 2 do this so I'm lost here. Not like I rooted and modified anything, all is in stock.
Would you mind trying to put in-call volume to lowest and rebooting the phone? See if it goes back to max by default. That's how mine is set to every reboot.

i just tested it...called myself...i put the volume to 50%...hung up..called myself back..volume was still at 50%...idk if it will randomly go up...we'll see lol
if it does..that would be an annoying bug...one i probably wouldnt have noticed if i didnt read this thread...so if i start noticing it i blame you!

Try rebooting, see if that setting sticks.
It does this all randomly. Setting will stay that way for awhile and all of sudden max volume.

yeah..volume went back to max after reboot
try this
go to dialer -> call settings -> my call sound...there are 2 options that might help you...one for sound settings (maybe choosing one of them will help you) or personalize call sound..that one asks you to plug in ear phones..im not sure what happens after you run that test and if it only applies to earphones but you can try it

Why would it do that... It's not suppose to. I never had that issue with ATT Note, N7000 and i9300... I get the feeling many people just don't pay too much attention to it and when it does go up, people just lower the volume and forget about it.
Whatever the reason setting of the in-call volume isn't being saved. And something is making it to go back to default. Just don't know what though...
Keep your eye on that volume, and check if it goes up randomly.
P.S. I really appreciate the replies, been waiting for awhile.

Yeah, I really didn't want to annoy anyone but this little bug was driving me insane. Spending hours with T-Mobile tech supports weren't even helpful either. I hope it isn't a defective unit... Please let me know if you notice this issue! Thanks again =)
I think I found the culprit. Seems like "Jays headset control" app was causing this issue. It was never an issue on any other device but not sure why it's causing on note2. I uninstalled the app yesterday and so far problem hasn't come back yet. Time will tell but so far so good.
Thanks for looking and replying to my post. I can finally relax!
Update: wasn't jays app... Still having issue.

[Q] anyone having problems during calls like i am?

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.

I didn't notice any sound difference when setting the UTMS HD Voice to "enabled". Did you see the two options for "enable/disable"?

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?

big problem with incoming calls

as the title says,when i have an incoming call and drug the slider to answer ,screen freezes and i have to reboot phone to get it working again!!
most of the time happens when i have it in my pocket..
this does not happen everytime of course but in ten calls it will happen three times,
that s the frequency.
my screen is not original,i replaced it myself with one from ebay,but was working fine for months.
i removed my screen protector,did all service tests,searched a lot,now i m flashing stock lollipop with flashtool to see if it happens again,will try safe mode also(but i m not installing any apps any way ).
did anyone faced a situation like mine before?
thanks

Never happened to me, but seems like what you're doing is the best route. Which rom were you on? Maybe check in with rom-specific forum/thread.

it happens also in official rom,no apps installed,standard settings,so i guess it s a hardware problem:crying:
something wrong with the screen maybe(which is working in every touch,everywhere else,just freezes in incoming calls)
i ll try to find another way to accept calls.intelligent gestures,maybe with power button
i will search for apps for alternative way to answer calls.
if anyone has something in mind please post it here:good:

Question OnePlus 11 not ringing when receiving phone calls?

I am not entirely sure if I'm tripping, but I seem to be missing phone calls pretty damn often. I think I recall at one point I randomly grabbed my phone to have it by me and noticed that someone was calling me but it wasn't ringing at all, though the screen did light up. I made sure my settings do have have "Do Not Disturb" mode on. I have the CPH2451 and running stock with latest OTA A.10 update. After doing a brief Google search, I see that OnePlus has had issues in the past but those are from the OnePlus3 and OnePlusNord so I am not sure if that's still relevant in this day and age.
Anyone experiencing something similar or have any clues as to what might be going on?
Edited: Fat fingered the model #. Fixed.

This might be obvious to you, so just ignore if you know this.
When holding your phone in your hand like you're texting in portrait mode, there's a switch top right and on side of phone.
Adjust the switch so it's down.
Ive experienced this, even after swapping to 2449.
Seems theres a couple settings that revert on reboots for some odd reason.
Just go into the phone app settings, notifications and reset thr ring tone and all set after 2 times doing it ... annoying?? damn right!... but at least its fixable ....

That's so dumb... The more I use this phone, the more I get buyer's remorse.
I haven't restarted my phone since I got it I think but I'll try that and see if the issue persists. Thanks!
Edit: Any word if OnePlus is aware of this and plans on fixing it? If not, perhaps I should forward this to them.

don't know if they are aware. just to add to the weirdness of it... for me... after the second time, the setting sticks...
i have this problem with my 8 pro, the phone doesn't ring and i think it goes straight to VM? seems like something broke with one of the latest OP updates?
There's no such version as CPH2541.
And here it works perfectly. Factory reset and try again.
