In one corner there's a small node (musical) that I've linked to a file called mute.exe in order to quickly change between sound and vibrate. Initially this actually worked like i charm, however I just noticed that when I hit the button the phone looses ALL signal strengh, and starts searching for my provider, it finds the signal again within like 5-10 seconds, but it's annoying none the less.
Anyone else seen this happen?
And is there a workaround, or a different way to change between sound and vibrate, without having to loose the connection...?

in a neverending battle with a phone that is underpowered and clumsy, i now have had enough. I figure i will give this one shot here before i buy a pearl or dash on monday (probably a pearl as the wm phones i have used have all seemed to be piled of ****e).
Everytime i try to activate my phone on my home wifi network, it freezes. Anyone experienced that, got a fix? It's ridiculous how touchy this phone is and annoying.
Actually, perhaps you can suggest some other fixes to annoyances.
I dial and then put the phone to my face, and poof, my cheek hangs it up.
After boot, the message button won't open my poutlook, it opens but doesn't display. If i hit the text or email entry on the today screen, it works fine.
Bluetooth won't work correctly, insomuch as it won't output to the headset but people can hear me fine
I get notification i have a voicemail, and i dismiss it.. so dismiss the bloody thing - i still have the notification by the clock, i want to REMOVE the link to voicemail by the left bottom softkey.. so i can see other notifications, annoying, annoying, annoying.
Overall i find this phone to be a bulky, heavy, clumsy, unresponsive POS. I know that's a negative thing here, but i am really frustrated.
Chill out, relax. I've been using the wizard without any problems whatsoever but if anything, the WiFi is a problem because of my stupid router (a WRT54GC). But even then, once it's associated, it's not a problem. I have a Belkin downstairs which is the gateway device and I have 0 problems associating and using WiFi with it. My device is an XDA Mini S.
Now, enough about me, here's a few questions:
When you say lock up, what locks up? The whole phone? Does pressing the keys bring up the keypad lights? Is this the case after a hard reset as well?
I can't use my cheek to disconnect the phone ...maybe because I have a screen protector on? I don't know but I never had this problem :S
No comment on the poutlook but mine works fine with everything so far :S
I haven't used BT for headsets but this might depend on the profile used by the headset.
I don't use voicemail so I can't say much about the notifications.
The wizard is by no means flawless but I have not come across anyone with the same problems as you...but then again, I've been away for a fair bit :S
the message notification is terrible. If there's a voicemail. You can't see anything else until you check it. Dismis just brings it back. All other dismiss fine. THisis on my sx-66 wm5
Hi,
I faced this problem too often, so I ask on this forum to know if it only happens to me:
when I end the call, telephone programs stucks. In the top bar, the indication of an on going call is still there. Everything is working except telephone application. I can't open the telephone options. Even if I turn on Airplane mode, the phone logo in the top bar remains.
Any idea?
I had that problem once. Did it occur when you dialed a number not in your phone book? It turned out the prompt for saving a new dialed number was still there but I somehow couldn't access it. Perhaps turn that setting off?
no, it was an outgoing call to someone in my phonebook. (at least in my last problem)
facing the same problem. after ending a call the phone app freeze a couple of minutes and sometimes more than ten minutes
Did you installed the HTC patch to avoid the freeze ?
I didn't.
Could it be usefull there ?
This is really annoying if you have to wait 10mn before doing an another call !
Problem happened again
The problem happened again yesterday.
But worse. I was leaving a message on an answering machine. and I couldn't end the call !
Pressing the right key (end call) had no effect !
Usually in my previous problems, the other user was ending the call.
So I had to switch off the phone in comm manager !
I'm surprised that no one else faced this problem !
I tried to follow one's advice to wait then until phone gets back to normal. (release the phone icon in the top bar).
After one hour, I finaly rebooted the phone to be able to do an outgoing call.
Help !
Phone blocks during or after a call
Hello guys and girls
I had the same problem last week, a couple of times in a row, I was on the phone with a contact, after a couple of minutes I couldn't hear anything anymore and tried to end the call but no joy, a soft reset did the thing the first time, the second I waited a couple of minutes wich worked aswell. It was very annoying I must say especially as it happened 4 times in a row...
Hoping for a solution

It seems a bug. You can press volume up/down buttons on the device itself to open the volume bar screen. After that just press somewhere on the grey area to go back to home screen. The top bar will restore from the phone application.
It's not the top bar. The phone application is completely unavailable.
We see the top bar,but the phone icon is stuck. Like if we were still on call.
I too have a similar problem.
Although I haven't particularly logged the prolems, I think that it only happens on incoming calls, and not outgoing ones.
During a phone call, the incoming sound just goes mute, and afterwards I can't hang up the call.
I reckon I have lost well over half the calls I have received because of this.
Luckily, not many people call me!!
I reckon this is a CRAP phone, and am seriously thinking of getting a REAL phone, and just using the HD as a PDA device. Good old HTC!!!!!!
I edited the title of this topic.
The phone app is really stucked : I called an answering machine, I wasn't able to end the call !
Help !
I am thinking of changing ROM.
There's something odd that is happening during calls. It seems like the screen is still active as every time i close a call quick settings get changed or notifications get different or i find the calendar open. I think that's because my ear or my cheeck touch the screen so they move things around. Also i can hear the lock sound (sometimes lock-unlock in a row) sometimes. Any ideas?
Hi all,
I absolutely love the Note 4, and am so chuffed with it. Yet, having said that, there are a few annoyances that I don't have the knowledge (apparently) to get around. Could someone assist?
1) After the phone has been on silent, and I bring it back to normal (not vibrate, not silent, normal ringing mode) by long-pressing the power, and then selecting the speaker icon that represents normal sound mode, I will often find that I missed calls and notifications, because, apparently, it does not bring the system volume back up all the way, but only about 20% or so. I never selected to do something like this, it just does this. Interesting thing: my S3 used to do the same...I just never asked about that. Switched to a Note 2 soon.
2) When an input field appears on the Note 4, you have the option of hovering the pen over it, at which point a small icon appears allowing you to immediately activate pen input into that field. It then also opens a little window where you can write, and it is converted to typed text. GREAT feature, in fact, to me, an AMAZING feature. Yet, it appears that whenever I do this in a facebook post or update, then, even though all the other functionalities of the post work correctly (pic uploads that I wanted, tags work for people, location is correctly done), the actual text that I typed, EVEN THOUGH IT SHOWS IN THE POST BEFORE UPLOAD, is never shown after posting. If I use the keyboard to type, the text shows on facebook after posting, but, that direct pen input - EVEN THOUGH IT DOES SHOW IN MY POST PREVIEW, JUST BEFORE CLICKING THE POST BUTTON, it never shows in the posts. THIS is quite IRRITATING!!!
3) Most folks know about the soft ringtone which jumps louder. Any solution to this!? And no, I'm not talking about the gentle alarms setting where an alarm starts softly and goes louder. I'm talking about the soft ring, that suddenly goes loud. This is influencing one of my exercise apps. The app uses voice to let me know when to move to a next round of exercise (HIIT), and, every time it starts speaking, I cannot hear the first few words (and they are relevant, as they are counting round, etc). On the S3 this wasn't a problem, and neither on the Note 2
4) Often the system sounds (at random) are soft, then loud. Say I'm doing things on the phone, and it is making the "droplet" sound, suddenly, one of them will be soft, while the others are all loud.
Anyone else having any glitches, lag, strange behavior, etc. I don't know if it's just me but my s6e+ seemed to run a little smoother on LP than new s7e on MM.
issues I have with mine:
After reboot the keypad for entering pin has input lag and sometimes erases
The notification bar will open blank when I have notification and then close and re open with notifications, sometimes it will open and phone will freeze for 3-4 seconds
If I am listening to music over Bluetooth in my car and I compose a text message and attach a picture, it cuts off my music and I have to press play again.
Hopefully we get another OTA soon that fixes some of this. Anybody else having issues?
keypad lag after reboot might had to do with system still loading; if i immediately enter pin after reboot, it lags like no tomorrow, but if i let it sit for a minute or so, everything is smoother, but still not as smooth as normal
notification bar issue happened to me once, but thats after an app crashed; it went away after i force closed the misbehaving app from usage manager
it also randomly cut off my music, but i even have it happened when my screen is off, but only on wired headset, never on my BT headphone
It doesn't like my left thumbprint only my right even though I've redone it once already.
Sometimes if I am trying to type it randomly goes to the lockscreen and I have to unlock my device again.
I can test the bluetooth MMS issue (if I remember) later.
Also the Do Not Disturb settings do not work whatsoever, I have to manually turn it on and off from the quick settings bar.
I almost wish I'd waited for the G5 to drop this week...
The g5 doesn't really appeal to me, now the m10 is looking nice but I'm overall satisfied for now. I think/hope after the next ota all the bugs are worked out. I really should've held on to s6e+ until note 6 but the sd card and water resistance got me lol
