Mogul wakes up before receiving call - Mogul, XV6800 General

Since I've had slide 2 unlock installed since day 1, I'm not sure if its that, the Mogul, or Sprint, but everytime I get a call, the phone turns on, shows me the locked screen and waits a good 2-3 seconds before the ringer starts and then a split second later the ID.
It seems like if it were slide 2 unlock somebody else would have had mentioned the problem there. It could also me being thick and this is just an extension of the common problem where the caller gets like 3 rings in b4 we get a ring(I have done that "hack" but don't believe it does anything.)
Kind of annoying when I see it light up, know I'm getting a call but can't answer or see who it is. Anybody know how to fix it, or at least give me an explanation so I at least have some sort of answer for people asking me wtf my phone is doing.

I get the same on my phone, and I also have S2U, don't know if that causes it or not. Try turning it off and then have someone call you and see if it still does it, that'll tell you.
I personally just don't worry about it. It gives me time to grab the phone.

i have the same thing, for voice calls as well as SMS. i do not have slide2unlock.
i really hate this and would even be happy if the screen would just stay off until the ringer starts - im fine with the delay, but anytime my phone is on for anything i think its about to ring...

You could just not look at the phone until it rings, although it's a hard habit to break, I feel ya.
But i think it has something to do with the phone needing to wake up before a notification box can even pop up

Button/screen lock coming off when I receive a message/call

I'm using an XDA2i with WM2003SE, though I thought that this would also be a poignant issue for those with XDA2's etc.
I have my device set so that when I press the power button it is effectively a keylock. The screen goes blank and doesn't respond to any input, neither do the buttons. This is a normal setting, not an external program or whatever.
However, when I receive a message or a call, the screen/buttonlock comes off allowing all manner of things to happen whilst the device is in my pocket. I must say this is particularly annoying when I have it on silent mode...
What I was wondering is if there's a way I can stop it doing this? I have found myself connected to MSN, launching applications, and various other things that have cost me time and money just because the screen/buttonlock won't stay on when I have someone contact me in any way.
So, can I prevent this happening at all?
Thanks.
earlier such was?
What?
EXACTLY the same problem
yeah i have a similar problem im looking for some software that means it wont unlock unless i press power
because im pulling my hair out over this one
does any one know of some work around?
flightmode is the only thing i can think
off
doubt there would be a big demand for that feature
anyway
as a rule people want to be notifided that their device is ringing
and want to be able to answer the call
by pressing the pickup button
one can put a password on the device if one dont wish it to
go to today screen when it wakes up ringing
oh yes i want to know its happening its just i don't want it to answer and dial 3 other people before it reaches the top of my pocket
other phones dont unlock them selves when they recieve texts
its just if i don't feel it vibrate it doesn't stay locked or lock after the ringer gives up it then remains unlocked and free to do what the pockets desire
as i said having a password on the device
is a workaround
it's also a way to keep private data safe if it's stolen
yeah fair enough i just tried that and it doesn't ask for the password once it wakes up, Oh and i certainly appreciate the help rudegar
i have been eyeing up devicelock thats on some threads but that wont install on my blueangel
what we need is, the device not to unlock because of a txt or message, and to relock after a call disconnect
that seams to be the only annoying thing about this phone other wise its great and i love the still active communities
alright i may have found soemthing
http://www.modaco.com/Key-screen-lock-PPC-t204979.html&st=60
they were developing this program due to them being equally frustrated
the guy pocketmax came up with a program called screenguard i will be testing it over the next few days
and tonight ill let you know how it goes
odd i have my password timeout at 0
and sure i can asnwer a call without putting in the password
but it never leave the password screen
and i can see the clock and sms noti icon and such
but i can never get passed the password screen
of cause the password would be useless for data proction if that was not the case

A Few questions about the phone part

1. I read that when a call is coming in and you turn it face down, it should mute the ringing. Doesnt happen here, how do you enable it?
2. When someone is calling me and i press the Mute Ring button, it doesnt mute the device or stop the vibration. Any ideas on this?
3. When i slide to ignore, it displays the call as missed, while it's not, i chose to ignore it, any way to fix that?
4. The phone part seems very slow, when dialed first the active call icon pops up then after some time the answer/ignore part comes up then again you wait some time until the ringing/vibration starts and when you answer it it takes a while for the vibration to stop. Also when the person calling hangs up, it continues to ring/vibrate for a while. Gotta say, that's the most annoying part, otherwise i love the phone...
Seems like you have an unwanted caller eh

Heh... no, simply testing and being disappointed
The phone program is by far the worst in WinMo imo, like everything else.
#1. if the phone is face down it will not mute; if it is face up and you turn it face down it will mute. it's not instant for me; takes about 2 seconds.
#2 is working for me; ringing and vibrating stops about 1 second after button press. not experiencing the other issue
#3 This (as i understand it) is expected behavior.
#4 i guess slow is relative to past experiences, in my case it's behaving as i expect it to.

Streak while using phone annoyances

When I call my voicemail [using google voice] it wants me to enter my pin.
1. Isn't there a way to program the dialer to pause, then enter the pin automatically?
2. I notice that the phone acts very quirky when on a call. In order to do anything when on a call I have to turn it so that it is in portrait mode, not landscape because it sort of 'sleeps' once I am on a call.
3. Being the phone wants to sleep when I am on a call, I can't seem to find a way to get back to the phone app and hit the RED 'end' button at times ..
Sort of hard to explain but maybe someone can do a better job if you have found the same problem. I love this BIG phone. I wouldn't even object to an extended battery.

Don't know about point 1 but i have just read that when making a phone call it has to be in portrait mode and as you bring it up to your face the proximity sensors will turn off your display to prevent unintentional touches is that what you were on about or have i got it all wrong
I don't understand all the technical stuff but to hold it, it has to be in portrait mode, but even if you have the speaker on and it is on it's back on the table, you can't press the keypad [once the call has begun] unless it is in portrait mode. I would like to turn off 'sleep' while I am on a call .. REALLY annoying.
SUGGESTION: Don't make any prank calls until you know that phone inside and out because sometimes hanging up the phone is close to impossible. Unless it's just me.

AHHHH so its you makeing all the prank calls to me LOL.
It dosen't say anything in the manual on turning off the sleep i will do a google and have a look
sssshhhh ... don't tell .. I have lots more calls to make
But seriously .. I called to check my voice mail and somehow the dialpad went off the screen .. Tried pushing buttons, but there apparently isn't one that will bring it back up .. Mean while I hear the recording saying the same "enter your 4 digit pin over and over." I would if I could find the dial pad again !!! Same if you are leaving a message .. if the screen sleeps, you are fumbling around trying to get it to come back up to click END.
Yes i have had quite some issues with it as a phone, specially when it rings but the screen is still in sleep mode for some reason. So you have to turn it on from sleep then hit the unlock before answering. This is a long process to accept phone calls, also when you answer the phone my ears always seem to hit the screen which triggers the apps menu....
I have had it since launch day and been trying to use it as a primary phone but i don't think thats working out. But as an MID its amazing I love using it, the screen is nice and great using it a a ebook reader.
When I get a phone call my screen comes on, unlocked and ready to answer.
My slight issues are my face is too small to go from the ear piece to the mic LoL
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App
I too am having the same issues as many on here.
A-N-N-O-Y-I-N-G is what it is!
I can;t even hear anything out of the earpiece in the phone, although i can if i turn it on speaker...not a happy bunny as now i have to wait for a replacement!
One question tho, which has been driving me insane...
Does anyone know if there is some kind of 'file-explorer' for accessing the conent on the SD card?
The only way i've found so far to even get close to the files is through 'QuickOffice'... Would've thought they'd be a more 'convenient' approach to it...
Any ideas?
Yesterday I purchased a program called 'screeb.' It is supposed to be able to prevent 'sleep' when you are actually still using it among other things like battery saving things .. I haven't tested it yet but maybe others have ??

There are several free file explorers in the Market .. As for sound.. are you sure you are putting the right end to your ear ?? Seriously .. It would be easy to make that mistake when everything is dark ..

Yeah, definetly got it at the right ear
Will have a look round for a file explorer then, i just thought it would have came with one...silly me! lol!
If I had the phone on speaker and put it to my ear it would deafen me I think. Speaker is VERY loud. Could it be that you have the TTY feature turned on? [ I think that is what it is called, not even sure what it does.] I just can't understand why it won't work as a phone.
I have been trying to use BT only when using it as a phone. I am very afraid my earrings are going to scratch the screen.
I was trying to decide if maybe I should put the sim from my streak back into my iphone and then move the sim from my HTC Shift into the Streak until I got more used to using it. Especially if I am going to use it a lot for voice. I also use my phone for data more than voice.
ALSO .. wondering what an extended battery would be like .. Make it harder to hold? or give you something to hold on to... Right now my hand has to really stretch to grasp the phone ..
ANYWAY ... enough with all this thinking .. I should have been at work 15 minutes ago and I haven't even gotten in the shower.

I love British expressions ... Lately I notice that people in the USA are using them more and more .. The one that annoys me the most .. BECAUSE IT IS NOT OURS TO USE is the expression "gone missing." Everyone who is missing has "gone missing" and until about 1 or 2 years ago it belonged to YOU ... What I am trying to say is I like when YOU use them, but when WE do it sounds WRONG.

@shEEEsh
Your voice mail issue should be fixed by downloading the tmobile visiual voice mail its simple fast free. Also your sleep issues should be fixed with 2.2. I know with my N1 when I move the down it turns on.
@ Andyglosta
Try oi file manager on market. It'll do what you want.
There's also astro, but personally I think it looks crap..

I have everything with Tmobile but it won't let me install tmobile visual voice. Actually it says it is installed, but I can't activate it.
Just got off the phone with Tmobile and they turned on Visual Voice for me. Good. Next on the agenda is when a call ends getting back the dial pad so I can hang up ...

1. You can long press * on dialpad, it will show "p", then enter pin.
It can also be used in the contacts (just type p).
2. no idea...
3. Tried power on key ?
Maybe I throw my hands in the air to fast, but I shut off google voice and went back to tmobile 'visual voicemail.' It is sort of the same but I will miss google's voice to text translation via email SOOOOO MUCH ... It is probably the most entertaining application that I have ever had. I like to forward them to the person who left the voicemail and say "what?????"
It seems funny. But I can't use google voice here ;-(

HD2 During Call Lock Screen Bugger

Hi there,
I have been a member for a short while but I have learned a lot from the members and enjoyed their genius in answering just about all of my questions ever since I upgraded to HD2.
Even after all my searches I still have one more bugger left with the phone which I could not find the work around as of yet.
I happen to be on the go almost all day long and I use wired or Bluetooth wireless hands free sets to get through my conversations.
Once I answer the phone via either of your headsets the screen stays on in the cramps of my pocket or back pack which mostly houses my HD2 while I am on the go. The proximity sensor seldom turns the screen off and as a result of my moving around some on screen bottoms, namely the end call, are pushed.
The hard key that turns the screen off normally also doubles back as the end call key so pushing it hangs the calls rather than turning the screen off.
In short I am looking for a way to make the screen go off during my conversations, preferably via some other hard key so as to make sure I have no unwanted anything activated, or deactivated for that matter
Thanks
So what seems to be the deal? It’s a weird question or what? I mean not even a simple reply? Have I got it so very off the base here or is this something nobody experienced or has had issues with?!!
Come on people throw me a line here!!
Did You tried a S2U2 ? It has a feature to lock device during incoming calls and many more.

[Q] Issue with Call-Waiting

Have a weird issue with my call waiting -- it just seems to go through and switch me over without notice and without my input. I'll be talking to someone, and then suddenly I'm talking to someone else .. ?!?!
Anyone else having this issue? I don't even hear a -beep- like my old phones which used to warn me of a second call ..
My theory is that when the call comes through the screen lights-up and waits for my input and perhaps my face is accepting the change-over?!
If I hold the phone and use speakerphone, I see the prompt for the second-call ..
any help appreciated!
Exactly same isssue..
Your theory is right, i'm experienced twice at least today.. There is a big green button at lower screen area while call waiting state.. It's too easy to activate one of them accidentally with your face..
Anyway, i want to change dialer, but every dialer app only change dialer, but "on-call screen" stay stock one which i don't like...
Any suggestions ?

Sorry, hadn't seen your response ---
I still haven't resolved this issue either .. very annoying. I'm talking to one person then all of a sudden I'm speaking to someone else.
I've tried to reproduce the problem by having a conversation and having someone then call me .. but I couldn't .. this time I heard the call-waiting beep and it didn't switch over, it waited for my input.
When I get 'the issue', it just switches over to the other call without my permission and it terminates the first call.
I'm wondering if this is a fault with my phone, or an issue with the pseudo-roms i have on my phone like Gingerblur, gladiatrix, etc --- or the dialer itself .. shrug
no one else experience this?
