Calls dropping a lot - Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
My desire HD has become real unstable for the basic function which a phone needs to do - make calls!.
During a call, say between 30 to 90 seconds it disconnects/drops the voice call. I am not sure why.
I have searched the forum tried some tips, I have tried factory reset huge number of times, and I have tried different ROMs (currently on Jellytime).
If this might be a radio issue, what radio can I try to resolve this issue?

What radio are you using now ? Try e few on for size see if it helps if issue is happening even with stock rom.

Try ARHD 6.X with the recommended radio and see whether its works ....

Guys it seems the issue was actually that on getting call the screen used to go of but supposedly was not getting locked. Hence the buttons on screen might be getting pressed by face!
I installed an app called cheekey from market and things look much better now

Desire keeps locking up

I've been using Cyanongen 7.0.3 for a couple of months now. Recently the phone is acting quite strange. It's constantly lockig up(I need to remove the battery to restart it). Has anyone else noticed this behavior? Can this be caused by an app that's installed?

I have noticed the same problem with every non-sense roms i have tried (oxygen, CM, Redux and MIUI). In my case it specially occurs when I used Spotify, It stops paying music and then force-close after that the rom gets very slow, cant restart the normal way either, have to pull out the battery...
I think I've found the problem. After uninstalling JuiceDefender the problem stopped(at least for now)

My Desire phone has been doing that since it was new - last January. When I make or receive a phone call, the screen locks so that I cannot use the keyboard for an automated answering system. Finally, I can never hang up. Pressing the power button sometimes shows the hang up button for about half a second.
I sent it to the HTC agent for repair and was told nothing was wrong with it!
I have rooted the phone, to see if I could change the settings controlling the phone, but so far have had no luck. I can't use the phone as a phone!!!!!
PS. At first, I uninstalled all the apps I had collected, but the problem continued. I have also reset the phone to factory settings, but still no improvement. I wonder how many users have this sort of problem.

[Q] LeeDrOiD HD V3.3.3 GB-Port-R5 A2SD Crashes on Call

Hi all,
I have been using LeeDrOiD on my phone for a while and really like it. I tried to upgrade to LeeDrOiD HD V3.3.3 GB-Port-R5 A2SD and despite everyone else seeming to sing its praises - I cannot get the thing to be stable. Everything seems to run fine until I make or receive a call. Sometimes I can make or receive a call fine and other times as soon as I get a call the thing crashes.
I say it crashes as the phone becomes totally unresponsive. If the screen was on it freezes with the current image or if the screen was off it freezes blank. None of the hardware buttons respond and the only way out seems to be to remove the battery and restart. The phone seems to still be alive somewhere below as if I am connected via bluetooth in my car, sometimes the call can carry on unhindered.
I seem to have narrowed it down to something between the radio and the LeeDrOiD ROM. Depending on the radio that use I get different frequencies of crash but I have not yet found a radio that in combination with this ROM that is stable.
It doesn't seem to be a hardware based fault as I can run other ROMs perfectly fine without crashes. I have no idea how to trouble shoot this further.
Does anyone have any ideas how to get further with this?
Thanks in advance.
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks

I guess no-one else has experience this problem. It was worth a try at least.
You just waited one day. Just chill a little.

I had the same problem. What radio and ril are you using? Might be worth flashing the latest ones you can. Wiping cache and dalvik.
The latest ril I flashed was for gingerbread and ended with HM. If that doesn't work try the latest kernel from snq- in the development sub-forum

So far I have tried it with :-
LeeDrOiD_Radio_32.56.00.32U_5.17.05.08.zip
bravo_radio_5.17.05.23.zip
LeeDrOiD_Radio_32.54.00.32U_5.14.05.17.zip
a few others before I started to take note
Each time I tested it was with a full wipe and clean install. So far none have been stable. Any specific recommendations to try?

Phone switching off problem in call.

Hi, I'm having a problem with my Desire, whenever I am phoning someone or recieving a call the phone screen stops working and shuts off, plus none of the buttons work. I have to remove the battery or get the other person to end the call in order to get it working again. The speaker still works though. Any things I should do before I restore. Oh and I am rooted running the latest Acesmod Rom.

So you cannot turn on screen by just pressing power button? Turns the screen immediately off when you receive / make call or only when you hold near it your ear?
All the buttons are unresponsive. And no I'm not holding it up against my ear. Thanks for trying to help though.

Nevermind I've fixed it. I found a post that said to try blowing between the screen and ear piece. And to my suprise it started working again.

Sorry to bring this old thread up again, but I believe I have a similar problem and don't find a solution: sometimes my desire freezes or crashes, I'm not sure, but I can't wake it up from standby and there's no reaction to the buttons either.
I know from my girlfriend that she tried to call me in that state and to her it seems that I'm not picking up, which is why I think that only the screen freezes.
Also when it is not in standby and I get a call, the screen sometimes freezes and I can't get any reaction of it.
In both cases, only removing the battery helps.
I've encountered this problems in 2 custom roms, at first Reflex S 2.1.7 and now Redux2. Here are some specs:
Rom: Redux2-31.08-TEST
Android: 2.3.5 rooted
Recovery: Amon Ra, have to look up the version...
Radio: 32.56.00.32H_5.17.05.23
Kernel: 2.6.35.13-stable [email protected] #1
Screen should be SLCD, but how can I check to be sure?
Stock partition layout, S-On, PVT4, I did not change the h-boot...
sd card: 16gb sandisk: 1 gb ext3 for app2sd+ and dalvik cache, rest fat
To flash redux i wiped data, cache and dalvik cache
Does someone know how I can fix this? Or how I can find out if an app is causing the problem? Or if blowing between screen and earpiece really should solve the problem, why this occurs?
I really love my Desire now that I have som much more space than on stock Froyo, but if it's so unreliable for calling I will have to revert back...
Cpu setting...??

For Redux:
ondemand, 245-998, did not change that since flashing. Freezes happened with both lower cpu when screen off (screenstate scaling) turned on and off.
Don't know for Reflex, if it was even possible to change anything I never did, so it was the standard...

Maybe a chunk of dirt/filth gets stuck in the groove there and tricks the proximity sensor into thinking the phone is always close to something so it turns off the screen as it's meant to.
As for the issues you're having, I have a PVT-4 Desire as well and I've often found that I get odd little issues with otherwise solid ROMs that most folks dont seem to suffer from. I usually wind up doing a complete wipe/format and reinstall the ROM to ensure nothing has been left over from an older or other ROM that's causing issues and that normally fixes most my problems.

Well, I don't think the problem is related to that, because a friend of mine has the same problems, and has no PVT4 Desire...
could a slow SD Card or an app cause the problem?

Problem with calling

Problem: i call somebody, calling is delayed for about 5 seconds, same with whenever i end the call, the screen stays for about 5seconds.
And sometimes, when the screen is off and when i answer the call, it becomes a miss call. Anybody experience the same?
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
Me. I think this is something that happens on all smartphones. They are computers with the ability to make calls, not dedicated phones with the ability to compute... But I agree, that delay in starting/ending calls should be seriously adressed. It costed me already a few money!
Dusturm, You are on stock or custom rom? I'm using ARHD
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
I have a problem too with calling and hanging up, doesn't happen all the time.
Sometimes when I make a call my phone will try to ring the number and then just hang up and not even ring and this is with full signal.
If I try to end a call the screen stay on and pressing the end call button doesn't respond I have to wait for the other person to end the call or my screen responds after a while. I'm on stock, I think this is normal for HTC my old desire used to do this too.

I'm using custom. It means it's not custom ROM problem but
HTC...
Yeah I experience this, sometimes I answer the call, but it goes into a missed call.
Other times I cannot end the call as already stated.
And other times when trying to call, it will make no noise and then cancel the call.
Till now now solution :crying:

I've read somewhere in the HOX forums about problem concerning the kernel. The guys there adviced to change the kernel. I have the same problem with the end call especially and will be trying to fix it by replacing the kernel this evening. If this succeeds I'll write immediately here to give you the solution! :good:
Go to ur key pad, type the number u want to call, press the menu key.... Check weather u hv enabld called delay, deactivate it n see

It's not the "calling"! It's the "end calling" I have no issue with clicking call button and activating it! The problem is with the END CALL button.
Oooo.... Ok get a factry reset... Will solve this bug...
Click THANKS button if I helped, or u liked my post.
Will be honored.
possible solution
Guys, when you were flashing rom into your device last time did you perform a full wipe/factory reset? Cause I didn't and when I flashed exactly the same rom (and ver.) couple of hours ago but this time full wiping I got rid of the "end call" bug! Backup everything important with titanium and full wipe!
Same issue here. Started suddenly last week (after 4 months of owning hoc). Had args 9.3.2 at the time. For week all was fine then it started for no reason after few apps updated. Flashed 9.7.0 with full wipe. All ok till installed all my apps. Done again same. Done again same. Done again and installed apps one by one testing. Managed to install all apps all was good. Next day started again.

Do you have any application that is linked to the dialer? Such as a different dialer or a contact management app etc..?

Phone reboots after Bluetooth call??

I have a Jawbone Era headset and of course the HOX. When ever I initiate a call I get connected but when conversation is finished and I try and hang up the phone freezes for a few seconds and the completely reboots. I tried to make calls in Safe Mode and this phenom doesn't happen?? Any thoughts?? Any apps possibly causing this?

yeah it could be an app, but it could also be a rom iusse
I had the Text By Voice app installed. I tried uninstalling it to see if that would fix my bluetooth issues. It seems to have done so. I have made several calls and not once has my phone rebooted. The only downside is I really liked that application!! I need to contact them and see if something can be done so I can reinstall it!

maybe that app isn't compatible with JB yet (if you're on JB)
