Every first time (locking phone to redo it also happens) that I put in my pattern unlock, it always stop by itself before I'm done putting in the pattern. I am rooted but i'm not using a custom rom.
This could be a tmobile problem but my friend and an ex said they text me a couple of times before but I never received any text messages. I'm using the stock messaging app. This happened yesterday and I still never seen the texts. This is probably happening with sent texts but I'm not sure. I'm in Atlanta, Georgia if anyone else is having similar problems in the area.
I also have a calling problem where I'd call someone sometimes and it says they pick up but they really didn't and I don't hear anything. I think it's a problem with wifi being on but this also happened on my old side kick phone '08 model before i upgraded to this phone which doesn't have wifi.
bump. no one?
I just exchanged my phone yesterday and it's still having the same problems.
Bump again.. I reset my phone and the problems (mainly the pattern and unsure of other problems) eventually comes back.
No one is having this problem? Can anyone even try to reproduce the problem So I know that my tmobile place doesn't have a bunch of defects. I mean if I wait a Second or two before entering the pattern then it would work.
I also notice that there is maybe a screen/touch issue at the bottom right corner of the phone. I could see the issue with multi touch vis test in the play store.
I sometime have a problem with air view writing by itself and having the s note freeze up.
Wait till the lakers game is done homie!

I also noticed a problem with calls not being able to be picked up. I'll have to constantly slide the accept button before it answers.
I think there's also a problem with calls being dropped on wifi.
Airview sometimes draw by itself.
Bump again.. there's also a problem where screen is timing out too quickly. Even when I changed it to 30 seconds, it still times out at 15.
The battery also dies pretty quickly with occasional texting using the stock app. It goes from 100% at 8am to 68% by 2pm. People also have a problem hearing me when they call me or I call them and I'm on speaker phone. Even when I put my mouth closer to the mic they still can't hear me
Sounds like a wifi calling issue, it really doesn't work well for me, even on my old HTC Sensation I experienced the same exact thing. Wifi calling is enabled by default check in your settings menu and disabe it. As far asyour battery issues are concerned it sounds like there is something running in the backround draining your battery. Check to see if your phone is sleeping when it should be. Check all of your settings because it sounds like something is draining your battery. If you try all of this and still have a problem, go exchange it, perhaps you have a faulty unit. I hope this helps. The only time I have had the issues with calls as you've described it was because of wifi calling..

Well I turned off wifi and it all sometimes happen. It used to have the same issues on my other note 2, mentioned in the above posts. All the old problems still exist on this exchanged one.
Did you have any of the same issues above?

I don't use pattern unlock so I cannot confirm that issue. Battery life for me is outstanding, I did have an issue with it on the first day of use but it was an app causing it to be awake constantly. I uninstalled the app and my battery life is incredible 6+ hours of screen and calls and it still lasts forever. I am not aware of any missed texts. Wifi calling is just awful so I don't use it and I have no problem making or receiving calls and texts even when I have a week signal. Compared yo my Sensation this is a huge upgrade and I am not having any issues.

Bump again.. is nobody having any of the problems that I posted about?
Is anyone having a problem where the screen wouldn't time out when you put it next to your ear while you're on a phone call?
bump again..
I just got my phone exchanged through the mail and it's still having the same issues.
Also there are these weird markings/dots on the inside of my screen. Maybe it's a lcd bleed/screen issue. It appeared in my past couple of exchanged devices. It wouldn't go away and I usually see it more clearer when I'm using the phone at night or on certain websites/games/etc that has the right lighting for it.
Once again. Bump..

I have searched threads on XDA and could not find a solution specifically for my Epic 4G Touch. The problem I am having is I will just be sitting there and receive a voice mail. The phone did not ring previously and I check my call log and there is not a missed call. What I have found by researching is it has something to do with the phone when it is in deep sleep. I am rooted using Blu Kuban FE10 1.0.3.6 Rom. Also using Caulks FD26 Kernel with FF02 modem. I have tried several kernel and modem combinations. I do not believe it is Rom, Kernel, or modem related. What I have read it seems to be somewhere in the dialer waking the phone up. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
It's sprints sub par service...

We are on the same boat I have the same issue with not getting calls trough I hate to say it but its samsung for us. They are not taking care of all the bugs
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
I've seen a few reasons for this:
1) A ringtone specified for someone was not on the phone - this caused it to misbehave when I called my wife. She changed the ringtone and it fixed.
2) The tower couldn't reach the phone in time - now in my wife's case her old phone will still ring when her new phone does. I'm not sure if that's playing into the problem or not. But other times I've had both phones next to each other and you can tell when the tower reaches the phone as the ring changes abruptly.
ive been having same issue which is a big problem cause i use phone for work..
that's y I'm thinking of going back to htc phone never had an issue with htc or blackberry phones
The more and more I think about it. Your probably right. It must be a Samsung thing because I have 3 other phones on this contract and they are all HTC phones with no problems. The only thing is they are completely stock with no mods.
i have a htc tp2 on boost mobile which runs on sprint but more water down of a service but the reception for calls is 90% better than this phone
dont get me wrong love this phone just hate the reception issue.
Yeah you would think if Samsung is making phones at least the phone function would work properly.
I have been having the same problem forever with this phone. I have even had threads on here asking for help. I have gone as far as having sprint swap my phone out and that still did not help.
What I would recommend doing is using Google voice as your voicemail provider. Go to the options menu on the website and have it send you an email when you miss a call.
Google voice will always log the call even if your phone does not ring. For somebody like me who uses this phone for work, it definitely helps. You may miss the call but you will at least know that you missed the call and you can call them back.
It has saved me many times!
Are you running Kobridge's tweaks? I have noticed great battery life with his tweaks, but on my phone and the wife's we both are missing some calls when the phone goes into deep sleep. It may just be a coincidence. Not saying anything bad about the tweak.

I believe that The Blu Kuban is running some kind of variation of Kobridge tweaks, but what I've read on that, the full version of Kobridge tweaks don't play nice with this rom.

Having issues re-connecting to ATT when I loose signal wether its from being in an area with no connection and/or being conmected to WiFi for extended period of time. I will still get emails but no incoming or outgoing calls and messages. The only way to reconnect to ATT is to turn phone off/on.

Your not alone. I have been having this issue the last few days. Just yesterday I had no signal in an area I always have signal. Not sure what is the cause and have gone back to a nandroid I made before doing the XS sound mod as I thought maybe the older version was the issue. Have not seen anything odd yet.
The other day I did have a interesting thing happen. I had sent some pics to a friend and they showed up as sent but she never got them. The next morning I wake up and see a odd icon in the status bar and it told me all the pics had failed. Was very strange.

Hey everyone. Long story short. I dropped my Galaxy Nexus in water and after trying for quite some time could not get the radio signals to work. It seems Wifi and bluetooth work fine, however it can not connect to any cell towers anymore. I have come to live with it however I still would like to use the phone for other things. Like a music player or GPS. My problem is since I have dropped it in water the battery life is terrible and i originally thought it was the battery went bad or something, but it seems that is not the case. I replaced the battery and am getting the same thing. After turning on Show CPU Usage I have a process RILD that is using up quite a bit of power. I know it has to do with cell usage, seems to be that its related to 4G. I do not care about this process and want to kill or remove it totally however everything I see that says a hard reboot will fix it, however my power button doesnt work either. I just want the process gone. Anyone have any advice? Thanks.

I have tried airplane no, doesnt work. I have tried going into the build.prop and changing a few things I read in various forums to try and get that to work. I have also removed some .apk I thought might solve it, such as phone.apk, mms.apk and telephonyprovider.apk and still getting the same thing with RILD killing my battery in a matter of 3 - 4 hours from a full charge. I need a way to disable or kill this particular process

Sorry, but this site has some strict rules, the above being one of them. I will ask your thread to be moved. As for a tiny bit of help, did you immediately pull your battery and let your phone dry out for a few days before trying anything at all? This is paramount if you drop it in water.
good luck

I get the same thing. I think you're having the same issue I'm having, and you are getting a lot of random hot battery warnings. That causes a notification, but disappears quickly, so you may not see it by the time you unlock the phone...
you guys using an .apk like betterbattery stats to hopefully solve this?

mine wouldn't be hot it would go off like a normal notification, but nothing there. doesn't happen alot so really not bothering me. :good:

stock?
ROM?
I am stock unrooted. I get the same thing, but my notification sounds off and vibrates. No kind of notification though. The only thing I have been able to link it too is that a few minutes later I would get an MMS group message. I imagine it is receiving that a message has been sent, but then has to download the content.

my battery isn hot to the touch either. I just get random warnings. pretty annoying
So I called support at htc and the guy said to try a soft reset or try booting in safemode and see if it might not be a 3rd party app. causing it. I don't know if any of you have tried either of these, I'm currently trying out the soft reset and see if that fixes it.

Mine was doing the same thing every few seconds until about 20 min ago, ( it's also been giving me a hard time connecting to charge) so I thought of the old school Nintendo! I blew in it, didn't work but it did reveal a big piece of dust that was in there, used a piece of pointy plastic to get it out, only 23min so far but no jiggeling hope I fixed it!!
Hello everyone. I've been experiencing a problem lately that has me scratching my head. The phone for no reason and at random times because super sluggish like the frame rate or something is super low.. It seems to be most apparent in the launcher.. It happens at random even if the phone is cool or hot. Happens on touchwiz launcher as well as nova launcher.. Clearing ram and open apps doesn't work... The only thing that makes the phone go back to normal is a reboot. This also happens on any custom ROM. With stock or custom kernel.. So.is this a CPU hardware problem? Has anyone else had this happen? It's already been happening quite often and its becoming annoying. Factory resets don't solve it either as it comes back randomly. If anyone can shed some light please do.

Explain to tmobile what's happening and let them know you want a new device. they are very easy to work with and tmobile won't make you prove anything. Ive been with tmobile for ten years now. Trust me they are easy to work with if you explain the situation and let them know it clearly interferes with your ability to use the device as it should be used. You should have ZERO problems with returning the device. By the way sounds like your device DOES have serious problems so id call tmobile as soon as possible. They MIGHT try trouble shooting it FIRST as this is procedure they HAVE to follow simply let them know after trouble shooting that your issue IS STILL PRESENT and they will exchange your device for a new one without issue...so call them asap. You won't have any trouble. You will see. They are very EASY to work with so NO WORRIES. Call and get your device exchanged NOW. Hope this helps you out. I've had a LOT of expirence working with tmobile. It won't be a problem. Youll see. Best wishes to you and hope you get this matter resolved today.

I'll have to agree here. I've had many issues over the years (anyone remember the LG G2X?), and they will stand by you. Sometimes you have to squawk loudly, but they want you to be happy...

I had bad lag when I was trying to text, send an email, or anything involving using the keyboard. I flashed a ROM thinking that would take care of the issue . It didnt, still had hang ups and lag. I flashed back to stock and received a new phone and havent had an issue yet.
