Slow answering incomming calls

hello! i've searched but didnt find any help with my problem. When my jasjar rings (incomming call) and after i press the answer button (the green one) i need to wait about 1 to 2 seconds before i can hear the person that is calling me...strange...did this ever happen to you? how can i solve this problem? Thanks in Advance

Yes, i have the same problem on my MDA Pro
After pressing the green button, i have to wait 3 secounds with speaking.

I had the same problem and now is solved.
In phone/options/band select WCDMA (not automatic)

i think that didnt solve the problem...sorry...thanks

I have the same probelm on the incoming call. However, i finally realized that it's the problem on the Pocket Plus V3.0.4 installed on the system.
It appear to be normal once i removed the program.
It's the case for me, and i hope it would help you as well

I too have this problem with my I-Mate Jasjar. I need to wait for a few seconds after hitting the answer button before I can hear the calling party. I did a hard reset and installed the latest wwe ROM available on clubimate site. The problem still persists even without any third party software installed. So I do not blame pocketplus for this problem. I think this is a software/hardware issue which should be addressed in a ROM upgrade.

I have the same problem with my JasJar. I have also updated to the lates ROM from clubImate by advice from clubImate support.
Sometimes the phone does not even answer the call at all when pressing the green button. This is becoming an even more expensive phone since I have to call back so many people on account of missed calls
Seriously, It cannot be right that a problem like this exists on a phone in this price range. ClubImate support even said they had never heard of this problem before.

i did a few hard resets and the problem persists without any extra software installed. "Very bad bug". i've already test a K-jam and it works beautifull...i'm sad

Got my XDA Exec today. It's pretty good but is not the same as my XDA2. Even less phone. More PDA...
If I turn my machine off in landscape mode and then close the lid with the screen out (like the XDA2) then when a call arrives it takes ages to answer because the screen has to rotate first to portrait mode.
If I turn off and close in laptop mode (landscape) then it rings immediately and I can answer it immediately using the hinge buttons.
Maybe it is the same for you?

i have noticed it seems to be quicker to goto portrait than to landscape in all respects of use

ok, lets try it...thanks

how i test it: jasjar "on" charging, open in portait mode. same delay.

L to P is roughly twice as long for me.
going to L i get twist and flip and the display is done ready and waiting
going to P i get twist and flip then get a 2s ish of L before it flips to P
this was battery power
*** its the same on mains and battery !

When my Exec is on, the rotation is pretty much instant. I have no apps running. It's only when a phone call wakes it up that the rotation is slooooow.

My Qtek 9100 also take app. 5 sec before it rings, and the S100 I had before was the same. My dad has an XDA mini, same problem. It seems like pocket plus will increase the problem, but even without any extra software its not working perfect. Its strange after such long time, they havent been able to solve simple problems like theese.

I also get this, Its very annying. Maybe they incorperated it so you can answer the call asap and the before it acually picks up, you have a few seconds to turn the screen round and see whos calling ect?

I have an Exec and there is certainly a knack to answering a call on it, but i'm getting better!!!
Firstly the voicemail seems to kick in way too early, i only get 4 rings of the 'ring' ringtone max before the VM kicks in, sometimes i think it is less, but i may just be going deaf! does anyone else find this a problem?(not deafness)
As i usually have the exec closed in my pocket, this is how i answer a call.
1, Hear the first ring, if i don't it's too late already!
2, Drop everything, and remove phone(ha!) from case and open into laptop mode only. If i rotate all the way into PDA mode the screen takes too long to change and the call goes to VM before i can see who it is.
3, Answer call after seeing who it is
4, Rotate or close screen and put to my ear and wait 2 seconds to speak.
It's a real pain in the arse and very annoying.
Great forum btw, it's been very helpful, i knew bugger all about PDAs three weeks ago.

Which button(s) do you have success with?
The small green on the side,
the green above the other keys on the keyboard,
the soft key button,
or touching the screen?

If you're using the Exec on o2, you can adjust the cut-in delay at the o2 end. You do so by keying in/sending the following to o2:
**61*901*11*xx# [send]
(where xx is number of seconds, e.g. 30.)
Note: I think the maximum delay allowed is about 30-secs - at least I've never got it to extend longer than that!
I have found that o2 occasionally reset mine back to about 10-secs, so have it programmed into a contact number.

I've found something interesting.
I tried to swap two sim cards.
<boring>
The one originally in my phone was a sim card from Orange Denmark (where I live). Orange has since been bought by Telia, and this same sim card is now using Telias network. This is by design. It gives my the roaming symbol all the time since the buy-over.
To say the least, some things have been very ****ty in this process, so I thougt that I might try another sim card.
</boring>
I had another one from TDC (another danish operator), and bang! My Universal (Jasjar) answers instantly - every time - on all the buttons!
Could some of you who have this problem as well, please confirm this? Please tell what kind of sim card (and country) you are networking through, and try another one.

No Response After Long phonecall

I have had my O2 Neo for about 1 month, and it's my only phone in my home. So, I need to use it to make calls for a long period of time. Starting from last week, I noticed that when I talk to people for over 20mins, the screen of the o2 turned off, and then I can't turn it back on by pressing the power, ok, end call, answer call keys. Basically, it just stop responding, so I had to do a soft reset everytime I have long phone calls.
Does anybody have the same problem? Is there a way to solve the problem?
it;s really annoying since the rebooting takes about 1 min or so.
Thanks in advance for any advice / help.

Is there any software that can count time during telephone conversation?

I've just started to use i-mate Jamin which is also known as Dopod 818pro/830.
As I've got first 3min free for every call I made, I need to know how long I've been on the call from the screen so that I can end my call within 3min or dial again.
I am wondering is there any software that has such function I mentioned above? I've been searching for a while but couldn't find anything. Basically I just need 3 major functions:
1. the screen is always on during the call so I can look at it anytime;
2. it can display the talking time of my current call so I know how long I've been talking;
3. Better it has time reminder, i.e. I can set a sound warning at 2min55sec or any other time I like or at any time interval.
Some info about my phone settings:
I set the PPC to be locked if unused for 1 mins and I also assigned a password to unlock it (for security reason). So after 1 mins the screen will change to a number keypad (for unlock) and can no longer see the talking time.
Furthermore, I want to be able to see the talking time when I am receiving a call. But now, when a call comes in, as the PPC is locked, I can't see the talking time either. It just display a number keypad on the screen all the time.
So the software should be able to override the phone lock function, and is alway on during the telephone conversation and display talking time in real time.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Vibrator Issues (wow that doesnt sound right)

Maybe this is an odd question but the vibration on the 8525 is crazy long. Seems like it lasts 10sec (maybe only 5 but it seems long). Is there a way to make this a quick 1sec vibrate? I leave it on my desk at work and everytime email comes in or a txt msg it is going off.
I have turned Vibrate off which works however not the best solution as Id prefer to have it, just not going off for so long.
Thanks

There ARE people who would pay good money for that!!

you know what, I read that exact thing but missed the part about Vibrate for N seconds. Oops. Thanks though!!!

Checking SMS with G-sensor

Hi Developers!
I'm new here, although i've been reading the forum for a couple of weeks now.
I had a flash yesterday night, that we need a program/mod that allows us to vibrate the phone by shaking it if there is a new message.
My phone usually in a pouch, and i always have to take it out at least to check if the led is flashing. Would be nicer to shake, and it would vibrate in response.
[(if newmessage = 1 AND tiltingactive = 1) then vibrate]
Thinking about something like this
Is there a program like this exists, or would anybody be so kind making, or implementing it to an other program for us?
Comments are welcome.
Happy diamonding for next year too

+1 here!! Sounds very nice!
Hope some more people fancy this idea
Indeed...to all of you HAPPY (*DIAMOND*) NEW YEAR!

Ya +1 it sounds awesome....dunno hw u ppl get such supeb ideas......

Ermm.. I thought thatz already in the vibrate settings?

I think you missed the point.

Very neat idea indeed

in silent mode my phone is vibrating log for calls and tree time short for SMS, in factory seting, original ROM

Another one, who missed the point - we're talking here about an app that would respond by vibration after we shake the phone in case there's a new (unread) message.

as far as i know this isn't possible, when your phone is in standby mode, 3rd party applications can't interact with it, so you'd have to turn the phone on first before shaking it, which would be pointless.

I was afraid of that. But yes - there's a point - Diamond (for example) doesn't "blink" with the alert LEDs when in standby.

but the ring around the nav-pad "blinks"

If there is a text comes, it automatically wakes up the phone(there is an option somewhere to check it). The ring around the navipad also flashes.
Interesting improvement would be to tell you how much text arrived by vibrating twice, 3 times, etc after shaking...

How about using one of those expanded alert programs setting it to vibrate every 30 sec when you have new messages. It would save you even having to take the phones out of your pockets.

This is a great idea!
My diamond normally sits inside its beyza case, where I have easy access to the button on top of the device, but have to use 2 hands to take it out the case. It would be so useful to be able to quickly tap the button to take the phone off standby, and shake it and wait for a vibrating response.

Sounds good, but we need a professional to implement. Anybody volunteers?

Why shake it?
Then I would use lightsensor, when carrying = dark. So tapping butting makes it shake the amount of messages and goes back to standby again within 5 seconds.
Why AND push button AND shake?

Hhm... it would be enough just to beep or vibrate every 2 minutes until you read the message. My old samsung R210 could do that, and it was a pretty handy feature.

I've made something up that alley some months ago, check out my signature (3 utilities) and VibraNotify.
My concept was to vibrate when there's been activity while your phone was left on i.e. a table and you pick it up again...

The point of it is if you've missed SMS, while it's in the leather case or whatever you use - you shake it and it vibrates. which i think its useful, saves you having to take it out the case, and either look at the ring light or turning it on to check.
having it vibrate every 2 minutes would be a bit crazy as it would kill your battery surely?

Well, thanks to audiophil, it seems the problem solved with vibranotify. I haven't tried it yet tho, somebody could give a feedback about it.
