I am using TELUS vogue in india on TATA network
i am on my own have unlocked the phone to use it in INDIA i have a found a strange thing that
whenvere a phone call comes along with the ring i can hear the sound of person who is calling or any sound i can hear around him
although it is great as i can hear what the caller wants to say to me!!
i 1st thought that only my phone might had such problem but i unlocked another SPRINT VOGUE which showed the same signs too and in it also the voice of caller leaked along with the ring goin on and his/her voice
i cant hear the voice when i put my phone on VIBRATE MODE i am using NFS FAN V17 ROM
i have beeen using the phone 4rm WINMO 6.0/6.1/6.5 still the phone shows leak in rings
so what should be the problem that such a sound leaks!!????
That a funny one, never heard of that problem here in the States. I would say it is probably something to do with your network and a flashed phone from another country. But it sound like a cool feature as long as they don't hear you. But yes the only thing that should be carried is the ring until the call is answered.
If you hear your phone still ringing after you answer the call then it is defenately a phone issue.
If you search the Vogue forum you'll see that an awful lot of people with flashed Vogues on WinMo see this (some people with stock Vogues claim to see it as well).
I don't think it's international-related and I don't think anyone ever figured out why it happened or how to change it.

Confirmed.
My vogue on Sprint does the same. Usually when another person on the sprint network calls me.

A word of caution to fellow T-Mobile Wing owners:
I've found out that (occasionally) when my phone is ringing, the microphone is on and the caller can hear everything! My wife mentioned that she notices this when she calls. She can hear the ringer, and can hear me talking to others BEFORE I answer the phone! This can be really bad! The last thing I need is someone calling and hearing me mutter "What the #$%^ does this $%^& want now?" Plus it gives a big feeling of lack of privacy.
I thought surely it was a fluke, so called my self via landline and found it happened about 1 out of 10 or 15 times.
My next thought was it was software - some 3rd party app or tweak had caused it, so I hard reset back to the default stock ROM and still had the same problem. I installed a few different cooked ROMs, and still had the same problem.
The next troubleshooting step is to rule out hardware. My brother and coworker also use a Wing. I tried the same test and found the same issue there, so it wasn't unique to my device.
I called T-Mobile support to see if there was anything they could do, and they gave me a few bonehead suggestions: swap sim cards, hard reset, make sure the battery is fully charged...
Since this issue occurs:
1. With a clean stock ROM
2. With different cooked ROMs
3. On multiple devices
I don't really know what can be done about this. All I can do is watch my mouth while my phone is ringing until the T-MO Diamond or whatever Android phone they release comes out...
Anyone have any ideas? All you other Wing owners may want to try this yourself, or ask someone who calls you often if they've noticed it!

oh wow no wonder.
its happend to me before.
but only once so im good.
thanks for clarification
This happens to me quite frequently. If you quickly put the phone to your ear when you answer you can hear your ringtone still playing, but hear the person on the other line as well. I think it's more along the lines of a delay in your ringer shutting off rather than the mic turning on.
Just my opinion. Maybe I'm wrong.

I do experience what you're describing, but this is different. If I leave the phone sitting on the counter, then somebody calls me, they can hear my ringer and anything going on around the phone even if I don't touch it.
It's like the phone mic occasionally turns itself on, and the caller hears the open mic instead of the normal dialing tone.

funny thing is i can actually believe that t-mobile said "make sure the battery is fully charged"

Isn't there a setting that says "automatically answer phone after 3 rings"? Could that be it?

But that's the thing... the phone isn't picked up. After about 30 seconds, it rolls over to voicemail and shows as a missed call...

I have a question, has anyone experienced this: Your phone starts ringing, but in addition to the ring you can hear background noises, including the person who is calling.
So basically you can hear the person on the other end before you pick up the phone. Me and my friends did an unscientific test by calling each other, and found we could hear the other person before answering about 25% of the time.
We all have the HTC Touch, but I have experienced this on my HTC Mogul; We also all have Sprint, but the incoming caller does not have to have Sprint, as it has done it with my friend who has Alltel.
Is this some sort of call screening feature of WinMo or is it a strange bug?
I've never noticed this with my Vogue or Mogul.
I recently purchased the VZW VX6900 and previously had the 6900 through Qwest.

i was running a custom rom a few months ago and when i'd get calls i could hear some sort of sounds comming from the rear speaker. i have never actually even thought that it could be from the incoming phone. but to be honest at that time it sounded like it was just some background whooshing sound.
i'm running vetvito's 2.1 rom now and i dont experience this anymore.
Same problem on my Sprint Mogul, but only recently.
And only from iPhone owners.
Hmm.
i have the same thing pen to me too. although it seems like it only happens when my girlfriend calls and she's driving in a certain area.
It's happened to me a few times too. It really freaks people out when I repeat to them what they were saying before I picked up!
It used to happen to be every time on my Alltel Touch until I upgraded to the latest ROM. I wish it still happened, I sort of enjoyed it at times.
It happens to me sometimes, too. It can be fun
Hello, My HD2 phone has weirdest issue, when someone calls me, I can still hear the ring, the sound of the ringtone, but also I can hear the caller if he or she says something, or if the caller is not talking to someone near him, I hear in the background hie environment or some day day I have heard a police car siren, or today I have heard people speaking, the caller was in a office with people talking. The funny thing is that the caller does not know that the phone is answering, otherwise he or she would say hello to me so I guess that the call is not established. I have tried the ghost writer cab with reduced sensitivity but without success. Could it be a carrier issue? I'm on Vodafone RO with HD2 ROM 1.66.405 and radio 2.08.50.08.

Very strange. I think my phone sometimes answers by itself...not sure if I press the button or something cause I keep it in the pouch all the time.
Keep us posted
I have S2U2 installed , and the issue happens even when I leave the phone on a table. Maybe it has something to do with vibrating? Somehow the Answer/Ignore slider get itself moved when vibrating?
Nobody? Everybody has a perfect phone? Please help.
Ok, so I have heard on this forum that other people have strange screen behavior, and a fellow member has same problem as me. Now I have installed the ghost fix 3.2 and I am waiting for improvements. There is still no fix for automatic answer, and someone confirmed that the talking is heard in speaker, not in earpiece.
Ok so I thought I was hearing things the first time this happened, but before I answered an incoming call on my evo I heard a voice on the other end while my phone was ringing. Well today I heard it again so I decided to check it out, so I called myself on my girlfriends phone and lo and behold I could hear myself on my Evo while it was ringing before I even touched the slide to unlock.
I searched around to see if this was a known feature or bug, but I haven't seen a thing, anyone else notice this?????? Its pretty cool to have lol. I'm on a stock droid build, I tested it some more and its pretty intermittent so I'm leaning towards a bug or glitch but It happend about 3 out of 5 calls so far from my gf's cell (verizon) and it hasn't happend with my dads he's on sprint..
Umm.. am I or does the great android is missing a critical phone feature that was available on Nokia's MonoChrome Phones ??
CALL WAITING NOTIFICATIONS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
if I am calling someone and he is already talking to someone else and he has call waiting feature enabled I should get "WAITING" notification like I used to get on nokia phones but the Android does not have this tiny feature
after googling a bit
I found out that samsung galaxy phones have this
so why cant we too?
great devs please help ??
Is there nothing to enable it in settings?
No there isn't
I tried cyanogen and Sense builds

This is to enable call waiting in our line. If I am calling you, and you are talking to someone else, what notification does my screen give? Let me try that, never thought about it until now...

I don't know about you, but my phone (running Nexus-HD2 Gingerbread) just beeps when I've got a call waiting. It is rather quiet, but it's there.
Guys you just don't get it
What I'm talking about is when I'm calling someone..
And that someone has call waiting enabled and is already in another call
In my old nokia n70 I used to get "waiting" notification appearing on my screen during the call process
But in android ...
It just rings normally with no notifications what so ever !!!!!
So I never know whither my contact is already in a call or not
So I keep on ringing and the other parry gets annoyed...
The only time I ever saw an actual notification in android was in some Samsung galaxy (I don't remember which , they all look the same to me )
A toast notification that says "waiting" appeared and disappeared
So please could some awesome developer confirm this and port this very important missing feature to our lovely androids ?

Whenever I call someone that has call waiting enabled and they are on a call I just get a ringing tone, as if their phone is ringing. I've never had any phone do anything different, so I don't know what you're expecting to happen.

Nokia phones have a feature that let's you know if the person you are calling has another call and your call is waiting on that person's phone.
So when you are dialing if you are looking at the screen of your phone you get a "Waiting" notification to let you know.
Well...Iunderstand what you are saying...yes nokia has that...but we also get an engage beep tone ...i don't get a ringing sound if the other person is on another call...that works for me..how do you get a ringing tone??? Never heard that In my country

You are missing the point..it is not about your call waiting... Eg. I call you and if you are on another call, my nokia phone would show that you are on another call by displaying a notice "call waiting" to indicate that you are busy. Yes this feature was also there on my motorola and nokia phones
I know what you are talking about, i have seen this. I used to get it on my HD2 with Win 6.5, but i honestly have not seen it on my HD2 with android.
I think it is a carrier thing also. I never ever got the "Waiting" message when calling vodafone or optus phones, only when calling other telstra phones. Never saw it when i was using vodaphone either, with any phone, only ever saw it on telstra.
