am i the only one with this bug??? when have the phone set to vibrate, for the first ten mins or so the phone will vibrate when i recieve a text. then nothing. its like its on silent mode. if i switch to normal mode it wont play a sound either. i have to reset the phone to get it to alert me again.
i reinstalled from scratch 3 times and it still did it. regardless of what other applications i installed. i was on generic_sg, so i followed the instructions to force a change to generic_uk since noone else mentioned they had the bug. now 2 hours later ive finished the change and it still doesnt vibrate when i get a text!
the X1 had a similar problem when it first came out, was there ever a fix for it?

I have a fairly new 8525 (bout a month old) and the problem is it hardly ever wants to vibrate when I get a new mail message. It will at times, but it never wanted to vibrate upon receipt of a new email message. I just figured that's how it was supposed to be until I installed a trial of Wisbar Avanced and it had a setting for "vibrate" to turn on in it...and it worked like it should. It would vibrate anytime I got a new email, even if the screen was off, the device was locked, and i hadn't touched it in a while.
I removed the trial, and now I can't get it to vibrate at all....anyone have any ideas? It's annoying, I want my vibrate back!!!

Well initially you need to pin down whether it's a software/registry setting problem or the fairly commom hardware problem.
Can you reinstall the trial of WA and see if this re-instates the vibrate function? I am of course assuming that the device is set to vibrate and that currently it does not vibrate under any circumstances including when st for phonecalls.

Correct, it used to only vibrate if it hadn't been locked/asleep. With WA is vibrated as it should. Now it doesn't vibrate at all..........
I reinstalled WA real quick after you posted this to try, and yup, it vibrates like it should with it installed.
Well at least we know its a software issue. I'm using my TyTn to post this so a little difficult to do searches on registry settings for vibrate, but will check later or you could try searching meantime.

After searching the registry and such, no luck. Anyone have any other suggestions?
hi everyone.. i've had a problem that has been bugging me for quite some time now. it happens just once or twice a week, but it is still very annoying.
sometimes when i receive an SMS message on my trinity, nothing will happen, no alert, no screen light up, nothing.. and without me even knowing, my trinity has frozen. the green light still flashes, and i can try to ring the phone and it rings from the end i dial from.. but the phone does nothing, does not light up or make noise or vibrate. it's just stuck.. whenever this happens i have to soft reset, and when i do, i lose the text message that was received, and i am never able to read it.
i've pin-pointed it down to it only happening when i receive SMS messages, but even then it's only occassionally.. as i said, about once or twice a week.
has anyone else had this problem?
Did you use a third party soft like SMS notifier?
no i don't.. the only third party software i use is a tab control program to launch my applications from today screen, this has been happening since before i installed pretty much anything on the phone
*bump*
really annoying bug
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.
1024 Leo, USA T-Mobile version.
It only happens with incoming email, SMS and calls are fine.
When I try to reproduce the problem, I simply have to wait for the phone to check for new mail. The the phone notifies me about new email. If I try to turn the screen on, it won't. The hard button lights up, indicating the phone is on but I can't interact with the screen. Resetting the phone via the red button is the only remedy.
If I act real fast when new mail comes, sometimes I'm able to start sliding to unlock but it still crashes. If I'm really fast I'm able to even get to the mail screen but it still crashes.
But the crash does not occur if I'm already using the phone when new email comes in. If I want to reproduce it, I have to leave the phone "alone", with the screen off. If the screen is on when the new mail comes in, the crash does not occur.
The problem started occurring with completely stock phone, the very first day, without making changes. As I cab tweaked the phone, (no ROM) the problem persists, it happens.
Because of this problem, when I wake up in the morning, I can't use my phone because the screen doesn't turn on and I have to restart the phone so I can use it. My mail send/receive interval is set for 4 hours so while I sleep the phone receives new email at least once.
I investigated similar problems for TP2 and Touch HD but it does not help.
I backed up everything on my phone so I'm ready to make changes if you have any advice. I checked for: changing the email ring tone, wake up on new email setting. They have no effect on this problem.
After this happens, I tried calling my phone. It will not ring, but the hard buttons light up but are unresponsive, I can't neither pick up nor reject the incoming call. I sent an SMS to the phone in this state, it didn't do anything.
Do you have knowledge that can help me? Is anyone willing to try to reproduce the problem on their phone?
All you would do is set any ring tone for incoming mail, leave the phone with the screen off and "wait" for new email to come in. Don't do anything for a minute and then check if the crash occurred.
Please help, I hate waking up to a crashed phone that I need to restart every time. Because of this problem, setting a wake up alarm is useless.
If you can't help with this, at least is there any way I can "force" the phone to restart without removing the battery cover?
Thank you.
I use my phone a ton for calls , imagine that .
Lately when I put a call on speaker, the screen will not turn off. It will not time out and even if I press the power button to shut the screen off manually, it just comes right back on.
Has anyone else experienced this and if so have you been able to correct it?
p.s. this has only been happening in the past week or so and I can't think of anything I did or any updates that would have caused this.
Thanks
I'm experiencing this same thing. Tried multiple things and even did a hard reset and the issue still persists. Very annoying.
I found a workaround where if I come out of the phone app, then I can lock the screen.
got the same thing. i read something on AC( think it was) regarding the calendar notifications not allowing the screen to go dark too. i wake up, my phone is super hot if i have an all day appt with a notification. did yall find a fix to this? the other forum mentioned possible connection to samsung pay.
Having the same issue. The screen does not turn off when holding the phone to my ear or when I'm using bluetooth headset.
