[Q] Phone disconnects right after pressing call.

This is happening to 2 people at work with stock Incredibles w/2.2. I have never experienced this on my phone which is rooted with stock 2.2 ROM.
You press Phone, either dial a number or click from the list, it starts to dial and then immediately disconnects. Rebooting the phone will correct it until the next time it fails (Usually once a week).
Tried using Task Killer on one of the phones but it didnt make a difference.. Can someone point me to a thread or help out? I can't seem to find this issue, or my keyword searching stinks

Does the screen go completely black and freeze up when this happens?

Nope, everything seems to work except the phone. I should problem check Phone Identity in About Phone when it happens I guess.
I'm surprised that there aren't more replies to this thread because 1 out of 3 DINCs at my work are doing it.

Noone else has this problem? Very odd...

[Q] Missing Calls?

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

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.

CM 7.1.0 problem

I'm hoping that someone can help me with my wifes phone. I recently flashed the "update-cm-7.1.0-Supersonic-signed" file and everything has been running fine. Well today she brings me the phone and had 2 things going...wrong. First the entire screen was strobe light flashing but a reboot fixed that. The other thing is that in the upper right hand there is constant, changing lines of text. They will say things along the lines of 2.54/2.25/xxx, under that system_server and then com.android.xxx. Will be anywhere from 3 lines to 6 and they change every 3 seconds. It's an HTC Evo 4g with running CM7.1.0 with the 2.6.37.6-cyanogenmod-01509-g8913be8 kernel.
I figure that I can always reflash but she's just got it set up and she doesn't really care for change lol. If anyone can try to help me I would greatly appreciate it.

You got a bad download and need to try one of the nightlies which is the newest from cyanogenmod. 2nd problem is that show processors has been activated so you wife probably messed with something and got their.
PLEASE post in the question and answers forum of the OG.
Hoped this helped

Your comment on showing processing got me thinking and I finally found the problem. Somehow under developer settings, show running processes had gotten checked as well as show screen updates (I'm assuming that that was the strobe flashing as it did it again when I checked it). I unchecked it and all seems to be well again. Thanks for your time lreyes as I'm still learning how to work on unlocked phones.
BTW, can I change the forum location of this or does a mod have to do it. If it's a mod, would one of you be so kind as to either move or delete? I just really started using these forums and am trying to learn the ins and outs so please bear with me. Once again, thanks a lot.

Only mods can move/lock/delete

Some phone issues

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!
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda premium

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.

Friendcaster was the app. Sure, I will enable pattern lock and see if I have the issue you're experiencing.

Was there any problems?
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..

Updating profile causes emergency call...?

I went to update my PRL and profile this morning after restoring a nandroid after messing up some settings in the phone yesterday, and when I went to update my profile, it updated then gave an emergency call screen?
I know some folks in the FK09 thread have had this issue, but I haven't flashed anything FK09 or FJ10 related on my phone. Anyone know how to fix this?

Didn't you hear, that is the new DHS anti hack software that alerts them of a hack attempt. Its part of the new cyber security bill currently being run thru congress.
And oh Im just messing with ya.

I am currently running EL26 Android 2.3.6 after running FK09 for a bit. I see the same thing. I feel like there is a part of the device that we cannot access. There is no reason that this message should be showing up on android 2.3.6 EL26.
really weird !

It's not a problem its just Sprint making changes on how there network works. Guess you guys missed the Network Vision upgrade they're doing. Things are bound to change. You can OC back to EK30 and It'll still happen. My Evo3D does the same now too.

Ya i saw this a couple days ago! The second Profile update ends it pops up and shuts phone down. Check out the blu kuban thread in general I have a screen shot. It pisses me off! I quickly found a work around from rebooting. I put the samsung task manager on home page. So when this pops up, hit home. Then clear memory, and phone wont reboot. Works like a champ.

Same thing happened on my phone. A emergency countdown appeared on screen. When I clicked the back button, it started to dial 911. Any idea how I can update my profile without dialing 911?

The countdown is until reboot. If you need to make an emergency call, hit the button... Otherwise just reboot and it will be fine.
