Phone problems

Couple of annoying problems in phone mode: 1. Sometimes, even though phone is locked, it wil automatically answer calls when in my pocket - what's the point of being locked if it does this? 2. When on a call, if another call comes in phone will automatically switch to new call and point existing call on hold, with no warning or prompting from me - very annoying. Does anyone know how to stop these happening?
Other than that great phone with a few minor irritations, eg when in contacts looking for a number, if access say SMS or phone, when return to contacts has returned to top of address book - would be much more convenient if it stayed at last accessed name.

Did you enable "Automatic pickup" in your phone settings?

No, all settings are normal, and not set for automatic pick up??

Not sure if I was being clear earlier. So, here's a screenshot of the Automatic Pickup setting I was referring to.

Few Questions about Captivate Glide

I have been considering getting Captivate Glide, but have a few questions: (I will be upgrading from the HTC Fuze)
1) Data - If you have a WIFI connection to the internet, will it use that as a primary connection instead of using the carriers network? Can you turn the carrier data usage off?
2) Alarm Clock - Will the alarm still sound even when phone is set to silent? Can you customize alarm tones?
3) Notifications - Can you customize txt message tones? Does the phone have a "vibrate & ring" type function?
4) Any hardware key re-mapping available for this phone yet? (Both hard keys and touch buttons)
5) Is it possible to disable the g-sensor? I only want the screen to rotate if I open the keyboard)
A. What options does Android have for manual screen rotation?
6) Many new phones have the feature that turns the screen off when it is face down or up against your face. Is is possible to disable that feature? I really hate the screen turning off when I use the phone in the dark while on a call. It makes it really hard to use the dial pad when it keeps turning off the screen.
7) Camera flash, can it be toggled without being in the camera app? (Using it for a flashlight?)
8) I'm sure it does, but does it have a voice recording feature?
9) Call recording - Can I have it record both ends of the conversation of a call?
10) Any apps available that will enable the phone to vibrate when touched?
That's all for now haha. I may think of more though.

I can answer a few of these:
1) Yes, wi-fi is used if available. The phone only connects to the cellular data network if no wireless network is connected. Also, I'm pretty sure there is a setting to disable connecting to the cellular data network, if that's what you mean.
2) Yes, alarms sound even if the phone is on silent. There are a number of preset tones you can choose from, and you can also use any sound file on your phone's storage (such as the SD card) as a tone.
3) Yes, you can customize text and notification tones. Also, you can set the phone to vibrate and ring.
4) Not sure. I don't think there's any built-in support for it.
5) Yes, you can disable automatic screen rotation through the settings. This way, it'll only change when you open the keyboard.
6) Yes, you can turn off the proximity sensor, which means the screen will stay on while on a call.
7) I don't know if there's a built-in feature to turn the flash on outside the camera, but there are plenty of Android market apps that can turn it on for use as a flashlight.
8) Yes, there is a voice recording feature.
9) I don't think there's any built-in support for that, but there may be 3rd party solutions.
10) By default, the phone will slightly vibrate when you touch any of the four LED buttons on the bottom of the phone (menu, home, back, search). There may be a way to have it vibrate in other situations, but I haven't explored that yet.
Hope this helps.

Awesome, that helps a lot! Thanks for the info. Pretty sure I will be getting this phone. Im fairly new to Android, so I will have a lot to learn!

Just to provide some insight, I have both the SGS2 and the Glide and I prefer the Glide to the SGS2 because it's just the right size for my palm and fits in my pockets neatly while the SGS2 feels too big for carrying around in my hands and pockets and needs to be clipped onto my belt and the hardware keyboard comes in handy for things like emulators and blocks of text.

Easiest answer is the same as another poster above, N1 Torch works just fine, I don't notice any difference in LED brightness between normal and overvolted settings.

Thank you.
Would the Alarms sound even if the phone is turned off?
If not, is that ROM-dependent or hardware dependent? Would a third-party app fix/solve this?

If phone is in sleep mode the alarm will still sound, if phone is off it is equivalent to having the battery removed, so no it will not sound the alarm if phone is off.

Got a few issues / bugs...

Loving the phone...can't wait for JB....
Right now, running stock AT&T ROM...I'm got a few issues / bugs to report...wondered if anyone else sees these or knows a fix:
1. The notification sound for Calendar reminders can't be changed. It lets me pick a new / custom sound but it does not save the setting. Everytime I go back in it is back to the default.
2. Incoming calls - often as soon as I grab the phone (usually from my pocket but sometimes when it was just sitting on a table) the call is rejected as if I bumped something to do this. Only the phone is locked and I did not hit any buttons. I really doubt I keep hitting the red reject slider and sliding it across the phone accidently....not sure what is going on.
3. Texts - they seem to not come thru sometimes and I also rarely hear the notification or feel the vibration.
Anyone else having these issues?

Bump

1. Are you pressing the "OK" button (next to the "cancel" button) on the calendar ring tone selection screen? I've confused myself and pressed the "back" softkey, which wasn't lit up, since it was below the "OK" button thinking i was pressing ok (or because I often unthinkingly default to pressing back to exit a screen). Otherwise this should be working, if it really isn't saving you have a buggy device...
2. I've only had the phone a few days and picking up calls has been no problem (stock rom, not rooted yet).
3. I feel you on the text alerts, but i get them on time and get a vibration just not the default vibration "tone" i selected. Generally late text messages aren't an issue with the phone more likely the provider, but your two issues above may indicate the device is at fault.

I can't change my notification sound on calendar either. I called Samsung and they said to hard reset. I guess their tech support is just as useless as Motorola's. I wish I could be that lazy at my job; "well customer I see you have a problem, have you tried putting it back in the box and pulling i back out? That's all I can recommend."

Thanks...

Definitely hitting okay....it shows the correct ring tone....but when I go back into settings it is gone.
Answering calls is getting better....disabled the motion controls and some other things to make it hard to accidently reject the call.

We'll See...

Hoping Samsung's Jelly Bean release fixes these issues....or maybe a patch release or two after JB. If not, I will try CM10 or a JB-based AOKP build when they get a little more polished.

This issue is fixed in the latest ATT OTA update http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=31801294#post31801294

Thanks!

Thanks for point this out! I had forgotten about it! The fix seems to have worked for me. Would be nice if all undocumented fixes like this were in one neat bullet-ed list for us to review....

Nah, then Samsung would have to acknowledge that they told a bunch of gullable people to factory reset for nothing

Multiple issues in Oneplus 3

Hello people
I am facing the following issues in my phone which is running OxygenOS 3.2.1.
1. Push notifications not coming until the phone is unlocked again
2. Alert slider causing the phone to go completely silent.
To add to the misery I was using my wifi on 2.4 GHz band but when I tried to connect to 5GHz band it does not connect and the error shows wifi connection failure. All my other devices are connected successfully to this band even my 4 year old Nexus 4 but Oneplus 3 does not seem to connect for a single time
This is really becoming disappointed for me bow after push notification and alert slider issues.
The range of 2.4 GHz wifi is not even half of what my Nexus 4 used give me.
I am using ASUR WRT 68u router.
These are very basic features of a cellphone which are required on the very first moment.
I am Totally frustrated with this device as I can't use it for my daily life!!! I don't know if people in this forum are not having any such issues with their devices.

1. push notification can be blocked when the screen is locked (to avoid that other people can see SMS for example). In the "When device is locked" option, "show all notification content" should be selected if you want notification. Also the alert slider should be on the 3rd position, the position closed to the volume up button. If you want to use the middle slider position, you need to select some apps as priority apps for notification.
2. hmmm I think it's the purpose of the alert slider... especialy in the 1st position, the further to the volume up button.
It's strange you seems to misunderstand it as when you put in silent mode, it say "silent" on the screen. I put my phone in english to be sure, maybe the translation in your language is not accurate.
Anyway the slider mode can be customized in the alert slider options.
For wifi, it seems ok for me but I can't test 5GHz at the moment.

1. Not sure if I see this behaviour but if I do isn't botherimg me.
2. I know put slider to silent and it silences the phone, this is probably my favourite feature of the phone. Completely silence the phone without even taking it out of my pocket genius.
3. Sent on my 5ghz WiFi connection.

I think you misunderstood me. Here are your replies:
1. The push notification issue is a doze mode bug since the notifications do appear and the sound plays ok until the device enters into doze mode after which there is no notification and no connectivity maintained which causes the notifications to stop, once the phone is unlocked the notifications start to appear
2. Well I know the purpose of alert slider and I am talking about when the slider is is normal position i.e. downwards, sometimes the notification sounds disappear and there is complete silence, the slider has to be cycled again by moving upward then downward to fix the issue.

for the slider, wipe your phone completely, reset it in other words.
If your slider bug still there, contact oneplus customer service to replace your phone.
and your first problem seems to be related to the second one as it enter the silent mode on it's own.

I have completely wiped off the phone and installed 3.2.1 from the signed flashable zip... the wifi issue is still there
I will check and update about the first two issues if they're solved... I have contacted customer support but they have not provided a satisfactory response yet.

When I upgraded to 3.2.1, I had the same issues as stated above AS WELL AS an issue with VoLTE that forced me to disable LTE in order to have a decent phone call. I reverted back 3.1.2 until OnePlus gets these issues ironed out. Overall, 3.1.2 has been much better for me.

I have installed freedomOS from xda and stock ROM again.. wifi issue is resolved but push notification and alert slider issues still persist in freedomOS as well as stock ROM.. I don't have VoLTE feature here so can't test

About the random silence, did you restore apps and settings from old phonethat had automatic disturb profiles? If so, reset and do not restore...

I'm not experiencing any of these issues, only issue is the random turn off

That's weird, I did never face this issue but my A2L is relatively new (1 week only).
I'll try to phone to my own A2L using different devices to see if I face this issue.

Yes, it is very weird and annoying. Not happens every time, but sometimes... ?

This happened to me yesterday for the first time, but I thought that was a problem of the person that was calling me.
It was a number I didn't have in my contacts, and after the bug I immediately called back that number, but it was not available.
I thought the person that was calling me had a very low battery charge and while calling me his phone turned off, causing the bug (because immediately after the bug it was unavailable).

To this date I still did not have this problem.

Me too, i cant answer and reject calls when i upgrade to android pie

Solved: Screen not turning on with incoming calls
Step 1: Go to Dialer or Phone app settings. To do so, you can either go to main settings, then open ‘Apps’, and then scroll down to Dialer or Phone App.
You can also access App Info page by long pressing the app icon, and then tapping the App info option or the small ‘i’ icon in the corner.
Step 2: Now select “App notifications” option and turn it "on"
Step 3: Now if App notifications are turned off, your display won’t wake up when someone calls you. Also if only the “Incoming calls” permission is off, your screen will not light up with incoming calls. Make sure required permissions are turned on and your issue will be fixed.

Xiaomi Mi 2 Lite. I cannot get incoming calls to show on my screen, so I can't answer. Tried switching notifications off and on again, tried forcing stop. Two days ago I did a factory reset and was OK for 2 days. I think this is since latest Android update about a 10 days ago.

Call answer bug
I have similar issue on Mi A1, been going for a while. Sometimes, call comes in, the answer key cannot pick and cannot reject the call. This happened after a certain update I just dont know which. I have noticed that this mostly happens at some particular GSM antennas, sometimes, just by moving away from that antenna (that's when in a car) solves the problem. But as long as I remained in that location at that time, i cannot pick or reject calls, I also can't make calls, I get the promt, network problem, even though the service bars r showing. And in some cases the people calling will tell me, that calls to me are not going through.

This is driving me nuts. When I get a phone call I get a bar at the top of the screen with two buttone, one saying Decline and the other sayng Answer. I can tap on it like a demented woodpecker, but nothing happens. If Itry to swipe it, the two buttons just disappear into a void and the phone keeps ringing with no way to answer. Very, very occasionally I get the normal notification that I can swipe to answer, but I have to phone nearly everybody back.
