Faulty call app - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III

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.

[Q] Hanging Up on Call Waiting

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.

Sounds to me like you need a new girlfriend
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

Can we merge calls at all?

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)
call waiting sucks ass on cdma

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
Flaws everywhere ...

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? ;-)

[Q] Phone Call issues on CM9b0

I installed CM9 beta 0 on Sat. Working great without any issues until now...My phone rings and I answer the call. I cannot hear the other person (or know if I actually connected even though the screen says I am).
ALSO...when I call out the phone actually places 2 outgoing calls (I found this out by calling my office phone and 2 lines ring) While I am calling out my phone shows the call screen but I do not hear any ringing. Sometimes the person can answer, sometimes it just goes to voicemail.
I have only install a few apps. The only one I can think that might have something to do with this is Google Voice. BUT my phone was working just fine with all these apps for 2 days and many phone calls. I have not installed anything today.
Anyone else have this happen, and any advice? Thanks!
I am trying to learn this stuff as I go, but this is my first post...so thank you all for the help!

That's a pretty weird issue! So I am not sure if I can be that much help but have you tried to go into cwm and clear cache and dalvik. The only other thing that I can think of would be to try wiping day day reflashing the rom

Thanks. I uninstalled Google Voice and it went away. I wasnt big on GV anyway so didn't mind letting go of it. Haven't had the problem again. Dont know what went wrong but might have just been a quick glitch.
biz, why not update to beta1?

Delay in incoming call

hi all,
I am not sure if this is already posted/answered.
whenever someone calls me , the phone starts to vibrate, but the screen lighs UP after almost 2 seconds. There is a delay in screen coming UP.
I am using default ringtone , but still the problem is there. What can be the issue?
Thanks
Pratik
I have the same prblm hrre
From my n2 on xda premium paid HD
Not sure if this is the same but I call my phone from house phone, it rings 2 or 3 times before Note does anything? No wonder people don't leave messages!! 2 or 3 rings before it wakes up, another 2 or 3 rings before I check caller ID..............agh!
Is there any fix for this issue? this is quite irritating..!
It's probably due to incremental ringtones that you feel that. Grrr disabling it.
Also a 1-2 second lag is a good sign that your phone is going into deep sleep properly.

This is a well known "bug" (or function, as Sammy prefers to call it) on many Samsung phone models.
The cure is free, & is to be found in Android Market (as I prefer to still call it).

Issue with Hangouts

Hoping I am not the only one but I use the Google app Hangouts to keep in touch with family, short story when trying to make a call or video call as soon as I press to make the call the mobile data on the device goes off (4g turns gray). It will stay like this until I end the call. I have tried deleting all info and rebooted the phone a few times the e only thing not tried is a factory reset. Anyone else having this issue,. I hope I am not the only person having issues. Also same thing happens if I am trying to answer a received call
Thanks everyone
