Just a note that S Voice started acting up on me last night. Going out to vlingo.com every minute or so. (Actually, I didn't know I had S Voice even enabled...) Anyway, turning it off stopped the problem. I'm guessing the vlingo site it is trying to reach is down, either temporarily or permanently.

I was using Google Nav on a roadtrip last week and I tried making a phone call. Now once the phone downloads all the maps over the data connection (which it already had), there's no reason you can't run GPS and voice at the same time. I do it on my wife's Motorola Droid all the time and never have an issue.
What happened with the EVO was strange. I understand that if voice and data try working at the same time it will cause an error and they won't work, but in this particular case, my phone rebooted itself.
I thought it was a one time thing, so I tried it a bunch more times and found that each time, it rebooted. Sometimes it took a minute, sometimes a few, but it always happened.
I am running stock 1.32.651.6 (not updating/flashing till CM6 comes out) with unrevoked (so I can use wireless tether).
Can anyone else test to see if they encounter the same problem?
I've had VZW Moto Droid and I now have the Sprint EVO and I can talk while the Google navigation is going. I know its still on because the NAV lady blast her voice while I'm talking.
not that you mention it, I remember this happened to me once couple of days ago. I was like WTH? my EVO never rebooted itself, that was the first time
since then I do not think I used the GPS while on a call so I will try it again and see what happens
i have not had this issue.
I've had this issue twice, only two times the phone has ever rebooted on me.
Both times I had pandora (or last.fm) playing in the background, navigation actively running, and then the phone would ring.. within the first 30 seconds of trying to take the call the phone rebooted itself
Yes Evo + GPS + Phone call + Unrevoked = REBOOT !
I have consistently experienced this problem and think UNREVOKED is possibly the culprit. I will attempt to UN-unrevoke my phone and see if GPS + Phonecall = Reboot or if it's only with UNREVOKED installed. I have experienced this reboot on at least 5 occassions while incall and driving.

I've had this issue happen a few times, so I disregarded it, but just a few minutes ago it happened 3 times in a row. Here is what happens:
I'm in the middle of a phone call, and suddenly I hear a beep, and I look at the phone and the call was disconnected (I'm back on the 'Phone' screen). I then realize that the phone becomes unresponsive (the screen doesn't respond, same thing goes for the Home/Menu/Back/Search buttons).
The only thing I can do is press the top 'Off/Lock' button to shut off the screen, then press it again, and everything goes back to normal.
This happened 3 times within 5 minutes.
Is anyone else experiencing this problem? If so, any advice/solutions?
My 30-day purchase window is up in about a week, so I'd like to get this resolved before then to avoid any headaches.
Thanks in advance.
Have you loaded any apps? Modified the phone at all?
I've never seen this type of behaviour before.
Thanks for the reply. No, I haven't rooted it, or loaded custom time or anything. The only thing I've done is just download/install some Apps from the Android Market, that's it.
What do you all think I should do?
*bump*
I think I may have fixed the issue -- I had the Google Voice installed on my phone, and when I uninstalled it, I haven't had the problem since (it's been about 3 days).
Has anyone else experienced any stability issues or glitches using the Google Voice app?
My mom has been having this issue with her stock 2.1 Inc... She says the screen suddenly stops working and all that will work is the power button and volume rocker. Says it usually happens mid call.
PS. she doesn't have google voice. And google voice doesn't cause this issue on my Inc.
Yeah, it just happened to me again, and I don't have Google Voice installed, so that's not the culprit.
Is anyone else having this problem? Please let us know in this thread - I am going to swap the phone out tonight at my local Verizon store.
It happens to me frequently. Before and after I rooted. Let me know what Verizon does about it.

I got the phone replaced at the Verizon store a couple of days ago, and I have yet to see the problem. However, ill keep a close eye out and will post another update in the next several days.

Hey guys,
Something really random just happened to me today. I was sleeping with my VZN Galaxy Nexus on my night stand when all of the sudden I heard a noise coming from my phone. I woke up and looked at it and noticed it was making a call to some number that starts with a "+2" and it was about 23 seconds into the call. I heard it say something that sounded like "Please wait while we prepare your photograph".
Needless to say, I freaked out and ended the call... but when I went to the call log that call was not there!
Has anyone had this happen to them or know what could be causing this?
Curious that you mention this; I was about to make a thread on the topic. Mine made a call around 6:30 AM CST. The number is *22899 and it's a number that you dial to update your PRL ("Please wait while your phone is being programmed"); it's the same as dialing *228 and hitting option 2. That said, I've never experienced a phone making the update by itself before.

Very weird indeed. That's around the same time my phone made the call... I guess I could see how I heard "prepare your photograph" instead of "being programmed" since I didn't have the phone up to my ear.
Anyone else?
Just a quick note, I noticed on Engadget that Verizon is having some data outages across the US. Maybe this has something to do with it?

Same here but mine happened at like 4 am or something. I had no idea wtf was going on...
Might be. I was going to add that I wasn't able to connect to the network at all this morning (though I've had an intermittent 3G signal just recently). I didn't even know they could remotely initiate a call like that; sort of creepy.
This just happened to me. Call is not in my recent calls list, it just automatically conencted. FYI I'm in the DC area so maybe its just something Verizons doing in different areas.
Just happened to me as well @ 2:30am PST. Happened twice actually. I ended the first call and the second one completed activation and hung up on its own. Odd.
Just happened to me TWICE again last night at 3AM... I had Data turned off completely too.
So I ended the call and 1 minute later it did it again.
I ended the second call and put it in Airplane mode for only a few seconds, then it never dialed any more last night
(I turn off Data when I go to sleep at night)
I'm getting tired of it, wifi disconnects and reconnects or flat out doesn't work, mobile data flat out doesn't work most times unless I reboot the phone for either of them to work. I'm rebooting about 4-5 times a day just to get either working. I'm at my wit's end and about to get rid of this thing as soon as I can.
I generally love this phone, but I'm seeing similar issues. WiFi says connected, but I don't get any data. I thought it was my network at first, but noticed other devices working. Tested network while my phone was acting like this, and my WiFi and network were working great.
Separately, my phone sometimes won't dial out. I use Google Voice, so I'm not sure if it's the phone or Google that's not working, but it's very frustrating. The dial screen comes up, then immediately disappears. No errors or anything to indicate that it ran into problems. The dial screen just flashes. Rebooting seems to fix that. But all very frustrating. Especially when I'm trying to call someone while driving. I don't want to have to look at the screen. I want to be able to tell the phone to call and know it's going to do it. Instead, I tell it to call, it confirms it will call, then nothing.

I'm getting the same problems and it's annoying the hell out of me I'm paying this phone off but I'm about to just ditch it buy a pocofone and just pay im this off separately or try to trade it in for a one plus 6T
Does this even make sense? Just got this phone yesterday my phone won't respond to hey google unless the phone is on the lock screen.
Nvm that I need to yell for it to even hear me.
Is this a known issue Sturm this phone or did I get ad dud?
I have been testing it a couple of days ago and Google Assistant was working locked and unlocked, however what I noticed is that after a couple of minutes it would stop responding at all.
Plus, on top of that, I don't know what's the deal with Samsung and/or what is necessary for this to work, but Google Assistant is not working offline at all. It is supposed to work with some rudimentary on-device control commands, but it doesn't work for me at all.
