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.

Phone locks "on call" - phone app crash

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
Greetz

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.

Call Pickup: Call pickup while phone is in my pocket. How to prevent?

hello xda community
i'm very new to the blackstone and this is my first post here. so please bear with me if i'm asking very basic questions here.
my problem:
i carry my blackstone in my pocket all the time. and many people told me throughout the last days that they called me and that i picked up the call by accident.
since i work at customer sites mostly my phone is muted. so people call me and somehow i pickup the calls while the phone is in my pocket.
i always turn of the screen and i have the automatic lock (password protection) enabled. still when the incoming call screen comes up it looks like it is possible that calls are being picked up.
i know there is the slide which has to be moved to the left in order to pickup calls.
i have tried myself by calling my from my home phone and touching the screen and the buttons at random. and indeed the calls are being picked up. i was not able to find out how this is happening ... but it does.
so is there any setting i can change or any additional piece of software i can install to make sure calls are only answered when i want?
possible a reg key i need to change?
any help is very much appreciated
cheers

This isn't just a problem with the Blackstone; every WM phone I have had does this. I have found that a good locking program handles this quie well. I personally like S2U2 by A_C, but there are many others available. You can look in the apps forum, or check the development & hacking forum from the main menu.
The other thing to check is that you have all your notifcations set properly. I set all of mine to vibrate only. Many of them turn on the screen by default. Unfortunately this won't fix the problem on its' own though.

mwelch16 ... thank you very much for the reply
i will give it a try and see how it works for me.
so that means first of all i will have to slide that iphone type of lock and then take the call by using the regular slider?
is there any other way (without) an additional piece of software to handle this? cause after all there is the build in slider ... but somehow it's not working as it is supposed to. any enhancement to that?
thanks again

Is there a way how to disable the CALL PICKUP button which is on the left? so the first of the four buttons?
I think it's because it getting pressed while my phone is in the pocket.
thanks a lot

I use Pocket Shield - it's not free (free to try though) but it's worked well for me

No, S2U2 will unlock itself for a phone call and then lock the phone again after the call. So no need to slide to unlock and then answer your phone. It has a bunch of different settings, and yes I believe it locks the hard buttons.

thanks folks for the replies
i found all the settings i was looking for in the S2U2 options. so i'm good right now.
thanks again

You're probably answering the call by pressing the "phone" button (the very left of the four buttons on the bottom). You can either use those buttons to answer/hang up, or the on screen slider.

I've used AE Button Plus to disable the 'Answer' and 'End' hardware keys and re-mapped them to turn wifi and bluetooth off and on. This way there is no chance of hanging up on a call by mistake since you need to use the slide to answer on screen.

Similar but opposite problem
I'm having a problem along the same lines. If I get a call when the phone is in my pocket and answer it on my bluetooth headset, when the call ends the phone then rings someone else, usually the same person who is at the top of my contacts list. Not only is this damned annoying for me, it's getting a bit tedious for the person getting the unwanted calls.
Is there any way to get the phone to immediately lock as soon as a call terminates to prevent this happening? I'm assuming that once the call ends and it returns to the default contact/dial pad screen, the merest brush against the screen will be enough to start a new call.
I'm beginning to think I should have stuck with my iPhone

I've the exact same problem, 3/4 of the incoming calls rejected when I get the phone out of my pocket due to End button accidentally pressed.
What did they thought when they implement the slide to answer ????
The purpose of the slide to answer is to avoid such accident, but why the hell did they keep the Answer / End buttons active ????? total non sense to me.
Will check if this AE Button + app can solve this annoying behaviour.

has anyone tried Lockmelite?
It may help - haven't used it myself though.

x 2 for PocketShield. It uses the light sensor in your phone to prevent the touchscreen from activating when the device is inside, say, a pouch, or in your pocket.
I'm using evaluation version 2.6.2.10, which as I understand it, has full functionality, except that every now and then, randomly (and IMO infrequently enough to not be annoying) before unlocking it displays a 10 second message saying that you're using an evaluation version. Note that this *never* happens during an incoming phone call. Good stuff.

Hi,
Try TouchLockPro :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=444215
Now it handle light unlock in any cases, that as solved all my issues (pocket, in cas BT,...) and fulfill all my requirements.

Pocket Shield doing perfect job for me

I use AE Buttons Plus to disable the "Answer" & "End" virtual buttons. Then I used iconsoft Phonext to handle all my calling functionalities. When a call comes in, Phonext display a lock screen which you have to slide before it presents you with all the options like answer, decline, silence etc.
This way, I never accidentally pickup a call or dial a number.

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.

Second Screen - Buttons pushed during phone calls ANNOYING

Is there any way to disable second screen buttons either through sensors (showing that your cheek is on the phone) or just during phone calls? I did a search of the forums so I apologize if this has come up but it seems I'm the only one having these issues. Please help!
I had similar issues with my last phone, but it wasn't through the second screen, my cheek would be dialing people during calls. I would prefer not to get rid of a phone over an issue that has an easy solution!
Thank you!
