I have the german T-Mobile MDA-Pro with D1. (whytf can't I specifly that in my profile ?) I experience some strange thing with it. When I pick up the phone when someone calls me (by pressing the green phone button) it takes a while until the other side can hear me.
So whenever I answer a call (by pressing that green phone button) I will have to wait 5-8 seconds after the buttonpress until I say something or else the other side wont hear what I say and still thinks I havent answered the phone yet.
Yes! indead...I've got the same problem. is it a software bug?
I too have the same problem, and sometimes it hangs up the call even when I press the green button.
I've posted before and everyone has said 'Use the search'...I have and can't find anything relevent (don't think the search facility of this is very good).
Can someone PLEASE point us.
I really do miss the speed and efficiency of my XDA2s!
I have had some experience of this, it does delay mine was worse before I got rid of all th O2 tat, it is now liveable with, however it is cutting off when I press the answer button !!! OR IS IT after conducting tests using another mobile I found out that
1) the phone does not take very long before O2 divert the call to Voicemail
2) the phone starts ringing long before you know anything about it (its worse if the phone is asleep) it can be a good few seconds before it makes any indication noises
3) it carries on playing the ringtone after the call has been diverted which gives the impression that pressing the answer button is futile.
I have talked to the technical suppport of t-mobile germany and they told me they era aware of this issue and they will be releasing an update in Q12006 that will resolve this issue.

I too have this problem and for the moment while i await any future fixes from O2 or others, i am using the following short-term fix; Under phone settings I have changed the delay period before calls are forwarded to ansafone if unanswered (this works on O2 anywa). One problem with this is that callers may give up before they are diverted to ansafone if you set the delay too long
did this really resolve the issue I was talking about in my initial post ? (that when I pick up the phone by pressing the green button the caller can not hear me for the fist 10 seconds )
I have XDA Exec and kept getting confused why my GF always sounded confused and puzzled when I answered the phone, Id say "hello" and she would wait a while, then say "Hello? you there?"
I never realised it was MY phone that was cutting off my voice at the start of the call.
In regards to the delay ringing, and answering etc, I am giving all my friends instructions to bloody well keep ringing! I turn answerphone off normally as my phone is always on. If you want to speak to me, keep ringing till i answer, if I dont want to talk, ill reject the call.
Why ring twice and hang up? I could be doing anything that takes more than 2 seconds to get that damn phone out of my pocket, get it out the case, open it, see who is calling, press the button, damn, missed call.
Same problem here. I am seriously thinking about using this as just a PDA. I don't think it's practical to use a phone that only works some times. Somebody on HoFo said that the Universal isn't meant to be used as a phone, it can, but it isn't meant to be. I'm starting to agree.
I just like the idea of not having to carry around a phone AND a pda. I kind of hoped that's what the universal offers. But it kind of looks like it doesn't ...
Its a great phone when used as a hands free device, answers almost straight away, and has great volume unlike most hands free - my callers also comment that the line quality is excellent even if a few metres away from the phone.
I do always feel stupid though when using the phone as a standard phone, would feel more comfy putting a brick to my head.
I use the old phone ringer as my incomming call notifictaion and I hear my phone in plenty of time. The standard o2 incoming notification sound was useless. I don't know what T Mobile have but might be worth trying a different notification sound.

Did anybody found a solution for this? this is very annoying.
Agreed, its just ridiculously slow - I worry whether or not I've hung up on people too, it takes a good few seconds before the line is actually dropped, let alone for the interface to update.
I've stopped using the "suspend" option and the phone seems to work like you'd expect (even on a cheap cell phone!). But the battery life is suffereing. Hopefully my new spare battery should be here soon.

You mean I should walk around with some spare batteries in my pockets. :wink:
I think my pockets are too small for so many things.
Does anybody knows if this problem is known to HTC? Is there going to be an update?
It isn't possible that a phone doesn't act like a phone in these features that are already working 100 years. I want to pick up my phone and talk immediatly
By the way how do I switch off the "suspend" mode?
What is the "suspend" mode and how do I switch it off?
Look at Settings>Systems Tab>Power>Advanced Tab
Uncheck to "Turn off device if not used.."
This will stop the "suspend" mode
eeek ! Now I know why I would need an extra battery ....
Hi guys, this is my first post - very exciting.
I've had the HD2 for 3 weeks now and I love it. The only issue I have is with it dropping calls. I don't think it handles the handover from cell to cell very well but that's not my main issue as it happened from time to time on other phones too. My main query is with the clever accelerometer related functions. According to the manual, during a call if you put it face down it activates the speaker. Mine just ends the call. I think that it is getting confused during calls if I move and cutting me off. Done two hard resets but no joy. Does anyone know how to disable the function either through settings or registry?
I've looked around for quite a while on the forum and can't find what I'm looking for. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Cheers
Dan
PS It has stock O2 ROM, BSB tweaks, etc

In terms of dropping calls, it is usually due to the handover sequence between cellsites, rather than the handset itself.
I'm guessing you are on O2? If so, PM me your location and I'll get my "inside contact" to take a look at any outstanding issues there.
I must admit, I've not used that accelerometer feature yet, but I have turned it on. (Under Settings -> Sound & Display -> Ring and Notifications)
Erm.. This might sound like a dumb post but I was having problems with call disconnection whilst in the middle of calls. I discovered the problem - I'm LEFT HANDED!
When I used the device I held it in my right hand and type/operate with my left. When I held the phone to my right ear to have a conversation I was occasionaly touching my cheek with the call-end button and that's how I was getting repeated disconnections - true story.
I am now a practicing ambidextarian...
Thanks for getting back so quickly guys
a practicing ambidextarian eh............ I wish I could breathe underwater! (sorry I couldn't resist it)
I don't think I'm cutting off the call through contact with the screen all the time though but yes I have done it more than once!
Thanks for the info rp-x1. I'm in Settings -> Sound & Display -> Ring and Notifications and the only thing that looks relevant is the 'Quiet ring on pickup' option and I'm not sure it's related. For instance, I got a call early yesterday morning and answered the call in bed. When the wife elbowed me and I turned on my side the phone assumed I was putting it face down and ended the call. I'm looking to disable this function.
Dropping Phone calls even in locked screen state
I am also dropping a alot of calls . Not sure if it is related to face down as the phone is always upright after answring a call. May be the call end button.
Having said that the phone was locked when I received a call today. I moved the slider to answer said "hello", then after 3 seconds it disconnected.
Any ideas?
Thanks
edit: Seems like a proxomity sensor issue, judging by other threads. Will continue to search for a fix/workaround.
htc hd2 dropping calls
Hi everyone,
I have a htc hd2 since 1/2011, love the phone BUT i HATE the dropping calls problem!! Please help. also will upgrade to windows 7 help with this problem.
I hardly use the phone to make calls, so I'm not sure if the calls dropping in the past is any relation, but as stated by Danno320, according to the manual ( i went back looking for this ), turning the phone face-down will activate speakerphone.
This is so exciting... so I tried it a few times.
All it did was to disconnect the calls.
I wonder if the action really does turn the speakerphone on.
Anyone who's tried and succeeded?
I also want to know if there's a solution to this now that I know my phone isn't functioning like what the manual said it should be...
Hello all, I have an EVO running 2.2 stock rooted version .6 along with the latest radios and wimax. The problem I am having is only when I receive an incoming call. Usually it is worst when a ATT Verizon or another sprint user calls me. The issue is a loud static burst when both parties happen to speak at the same time. The static is very noticeable and almost makes it impossible to use the phone. As I said this only happens when I get an incoming call. If I immediately hang up and call that person back presto no static issue. I have tried changing phones, it happens on a BB Tour, Pearl and two Evo's. I have also had Sprint change the MSID several times, and I have even switched phone numbers all to no avail. The advanced tech support team has issued a "network ticket" so I am awaiting the results of that. Anybody have any ideas? heard of this problem? Suggestions, at this point anything would be helpful. I have tried many different settings on the phone and in the ##data# menu all to no avail. So if anybody has any ideas at all I'm all up for trying them.
Thanks,
Ifly
I am having similar issue while speaking with other party who is on VOIP line.
Until I read this, I was not sure whether this is because of VOIP line or is it because of Sprint.
I will try to watch out for this and see if it has any pattern!
I haven't noticed it when I get a VOIP call but I will watch out for that too.
Hi, I have tested and experienced this on three different HD2's, and tried with every radio available in the Master Radio Thread. When talking to someone normally using the internal speaker, and we try to talk simultaneously, on my end the other person's voice completely disappears and I can only hear myself talking. Sort of like the old-style speakerphone effect, where only one person could be talking at a time.
I have tested this extensively with automated voice menu systems as well (like Pizza Pizza) and every time, as soon as I start speaking it immediately cuts off the sound on the other end (the incoming sound from their voice in my ear) either intermittently, so I can only hear brief little bits of what is being said, or altogether so that ten seconds or more go by without my hearing anything at all from the other side (as long as I keep speaking). As soon as I stop talking, I can hear them again, and as soon as I resume speaking, their incoming sound is cut off again.
I am using the Telstra version of the HD2 with the 850mHz band and have tested with a couple of different carriers (Rogers and Bell) with the same results each time. And as I said, I have tried three different units so I don't think it's a matter of defectiveness.
Does anyone know of a fix for this issue?
thats a really odd problem. i can't say i can help much. but i can suggest another keyword that might help you search better for other possible reports of similar issues. at the very least, this word describes your problem a bit more concisely. its called "half duplex".
Hello XDA peeps,
I got a moto x pure 2015 that I bought from NY and I use it with Koodo mobile (Canadian provider) here in Montreal, Quebec. I find that I get quite a lot of false tones being triggered. It's very erratic and I can't find a pattern.
For example, some weeks I will never hear a tone beeping off into my hear. Other weeks, I will hear DTMF tones being tiggered by the voice on the other end. It could be my mom (VOIP) or my dad (mobile sim card) or even when I'm with customer service with a bank or credit card. I read that VOIP is notorious for false triggers because of the coding standards used. I noticed that female voices trigger it more often... in particular my mom.
I also noticed that I cannot hold my VOIP calls for long periods. I ruled out the 30 second VOIP issue as it can be 10 minutes, 5 minutes, or 2 hours before my VOIP call suddenly hangs up. I read that faulty DTMF may trigger the phone to end a call. This happens 99% of the time on different wifi connections (home, work, friends, public wifi, client premises, etc) and rarely, if ever, happens while on 3G/LTE.
1) Does anyone know if there is something that I can do to this phone to make mitigate any false triggers fore DTMF?
2) Can anyone confirm if using a Canadian mobile service on an American model would lead to this false DTMF?
3) any suggestions whatsoever? other than factory reset and changing phones. I did a factory reset already and the moto X pure is the phone I purchased to replace the Note 3 that also encountered dropped VOIP calls. I don't remember the Note 3 having any DTMF issues.

I am confused... Your device does not interpret or use DTMF in any way, and it only generated by the touchpad for "legacy" applications like auto attendants or phone banking systems. If DTMF is being detected on the far end, it is miss registering a minimum of 50ms of two specifically mixed frequencies (Dual Tone Multi-Frequency). The device only generated audible tones for your comfort/reassurance except when dialing digits manually. The phone itself should not be part of the issue here. Also, DTMF is not used as a disconnect signal in any way, audible analog tones for disconnect purposes have not been in common service for over 20 years. And the US and Canada use the exact same North American Tone plan, so in that regard a US or Canadian device is not relevant.
I know this isn't very helpful, but I think your searching for the wrong problem with this "DTMF" thing...
TBH, I have worked in telecom as an enterprise grade VoIP engineer for 25 years, including cellular carriers and hosted VoIP providers, and I have never heard of this issue you are describing.
Hi acejavelin,
Thanks for taking the time to respond. It is quite possible I'm mixing up terms, issues, symptoms, etc. The different issues I'm facing may be completely independent of each other.
The fact is i hear touch tones when no one is pressing on the dialer. not me and not the other caller. some times it's infrquent and sometimes it can be several times in one phone call.
I will research and provide you with references on regarding VOIP/DTMF/call hang ups. Perhaps this warrants breaking down this question into two separate questions.
Will get back to you soon.

Fair enough... but I answered this simply from a cellular carriers perspective regarding cellular service and your device. Not a VoIP carrier, that is entirely different and would depend on multiple things. A traditional cellular carrier and your device would not be the cause of DTMF tones, although if you are using a VoIP carrier or the person you are communicating with is, then that is whole different set of conditions.
Beyond that, standard troubleshooting would apply, eliminate potentials issues one at a time... try different SIM, carrier, destination, etc.... to narrow done to the commonality in every case and then change that piece to see if it eliminates the issue. Not sure what else to say without more information.
so far my testing is indicative that DTMF is the source of the hang ups. I used "in-band" DTMF and it seems that I only hear the tones now without hang ups.
