Incoming Call Bug When Phone Is Locked

I need some help, every single time I receive a phone call while my phone is locked, the first half of the ring is just a black screen and vibrating, regardless if the sound is on or not, the second half of the ring shows the picture for a second and during that second it starts playing the default ringtone, even though I have my contacts programmed with their own ringtone. Also, when I try to answer the call I am never successful and I miss the call every time. However, when the phone is not locked I receive my phone calls exactly as I should. The ringer that is programmed to each contact is played, it shows the picture right away. Can anyone help me? Please.

HELP
I have the same problem. The phone rings, and I cant pick up the call. End up with lots of missed calls
I have so far reset to factory defaults a couple of times, and the only app I have installed is Linda File Manager from the Market.
My G1 has a RC9 stock from TMo and I am using it with a Vodafone sim..
Can someone please help?
thanks

Hmmmm
I don't know what causes it...I think that we all are experiencing it. It hasn't happened all that much since I installed Lock 2.0 and had it shut off the system lock.

well that may be true, however ive factory reset several times since installing lock 2.0 and i still have this problem

YA that happens to me sometimes to

So with this bug is your phone rooted or not. The reason I ask is because mine is and it happens to me all the time I've reflashed to rc29 and done the process over again and I was planing on just going to stock rc33 but if its an issuse with both I don't want to

Happens to me too ... I'm rooted RC9.

Was happening to me until I did a wipe. I, too, am rooted.

Same thing here, rooted RC33 JF1.42. The first thing I suspected was any/all of the alternative home apps. I haven't seen tested any of them enough, nor the default Home app, so I can't lay blame yet. I suppose it could be the rooted firmware, but I'm more suspicious of these alternate home apps first.

I have the stock rc33

I had problems where it wouldn't recognize indivial ringtones for contacts until I removed weatherbug.

:S
I cant believe this is happening.
I will most likely sell this phone then, as I dont have any use for a phone that I cant pick up phone calls with!
In the meantime my phone bill is sky rocketing as I have to call everyone back.
I simply cant justify spending so much for a phone that.. well.. doesnt work.
I thought Android was finally what I wanted in a phone OS, but obviously is NOT. Will have to go back to reliable WinMo :S

Yea my phone is havin that same problem and it's rooted too... but my friend has one thats not rooted and hers does the same thing so i dont think it has anythin to do with the phone bein modded...

not rooted

mine is not rooted, and it does that even fresh out of factory reset.
was thinking of getting the G2 but after this I m afraid I will stick it to the android.
very disappointing.

It has nothing to do with weatherbug, I've just tested it without weatherbug installed, same result, guess well just have to wait for the next update in a month or so, til then... don't lock ur phone

I have this problem TOO!!! I'm very very disappointed. I didn't seem to have this problem in the beginning but when I installed the jf1.42 rc 33 it started hapenning. Hmm I don't know. Maybe it's better to go back to stock rom and see if it works better.

[Q] Eclair MMS app on Froyo?

Hello everyone!
Just recently I got the 2.2 OTA for my Droid (rooted) and I'm absolutely loving it, except for one thing: the new MMS app. I strongly dislike the new look; I don't want to see my own profile icon and I definitely don't want to see several of each icon. I really liked the way the Eclair MMS app looked, and I really liked seeing my friends' facebook statuses next to their contact icon.
I've tried replacing the Froyo Mms.apk with the Eclair Mms.apk, which could display everything and worked perfectly fine except for when I actually went to send a message. It would force close and never show that the message actually sent, even though I got replies back, so I know they sent. Also, in order to get this to work, I had to remove Mms.odex. Once I saw that the Eclair app displayed everything and seemed to work fine, I (foolishly) erased my backup of Mms.odex and now I can't run the standard Froyo Mms.apk. Luckily, I did find a modified app that I can use in the meantime, so I'm not totally out of luck right now.
Is there any way to get the old Eclair MMS app/look back? I would REALLY love it! And please don't just suggest Handcent or Chomp. I've tried them and I just don't like them. I went through all the styling and customization options and I just couldn't get it to look like I want. All I want is the old Eclair app back, not alternatives (unless they look almost identical to Eclair's). If it's impossible, I guess I'll deal with it, but "impossible" and "Android" don't really go together...
Thanks in advance!
edit:
I attached two screenshots taken out of an emulator, just in case anyone isn't familiar (why you'd need to see them, I dunno, but I figure more info is better).

Bump. This is a good question. I hadn't really even though about how much better the 2.1 vs 2.2 SMS/MMS app. I knew there was something different but thank you for laying it out. I'm having a problem where the app isn't posting my icon. It is synced with my Facebook contacts so I don't see why it doesn't show my avatar, and if it isn't supposed to then why even change it? No sir, I don't like it. If there is any way to downgrade to the earlier messaging app I would very much be interested in knowing.

Shameless bump. Still driving me crazy. Hoping there's an alternative by now?

ROM 3.14

I read in another forum that the official release will be another week or so due to some tweaking they want to do to the ROM.
I don't know if this is accurate or not (and I do not have alink to the forum where I read this...I read too many forums), but I think I may wait for the official release.

when 2.13 was leaked it was exactly the same as the one that was released. I'm guessing this will be the same deal. Doesn't hurt to wait though.

3.14 is amazingly stable in my opinion...loads faster than 2.13 to boot!

I didn't wait.
I've been pleasantly surprised by how stable it's been. I've had maybe one or two freezes since the install and that was on day one. Since then it's been rock solid. Even the HTC messaging has been lag free.
It will be some time before I think about switching back to custom ROMs. Although I do miss all those nice features that nrgz has in his builds...
I'll probably install the official release if they've made any tweaks.

I love reading this and am not a patient man, but on the tmo forum (I finally figured out where I read it) they note puling it back for a few more tweaks.
probably bs, but who knows.
I know I should just dicer in with a link from here as I did last time, but I just did a fresh wipe and reinstall a few weeks back due to exchange server policy enforcement and subsequent lock out and thought maybe to wait...just in case.
thanks for the kind responses though!

There is a major flaw. my head phones do not work with this rom. i tested it twice and then had to go back to retail to confirm that my head phone did not become defective. im sure they will review and fix this issue. the speed is the same i can confirm. it needs some more tweaks none the less.

3.14 has been working fine so far. However, my lock screen picture is now stretched. It's driving me insane!!
Has anyone else had this problem? Could it be happening because of something other than the new rom update?
Does anyone know how to adjust lock screen pictures? I can't seem to find any options.

How do you install the .exe file?

What .exe file? The ROM itself? You connect your phone via USB to your computer, let it sync, then run the .exe from your computer to install the ROM on your phone. Read the stickies for exact instructions.

maybe something was wrong apart from the rom, because both stock and my custom roms worked fine... i listen to audi via headphones twice a day every single day... and my headphones work
the rom is a little faster and there are new GUI designs

when i used it as a custom rom, i had no issues. but the moment i used xmoo version of 3.14 i would always get the same issue. i connect head phones and i dont hear anyone talking via phone calls. also for some reason, they are always on speaker phone even if the option is not enable.
can you please link me the version of rom you are using?

ok, i dont know, but i didnt use xmoo version... maybe his version is an early leak

God what a huge improvement everything is. I unplugged it from power last night around midnight and left it next to my bed while I slept. With WiFi on. It's now 10 hours later, I've toyed with it for about an hour, and the battery is at 90%.
Unfortunately, HTC Messaging + Swype doesn't appear to be a lot better. Maybe a little, in terms of the initial lag when replying to a msg. Also, when a new msg comes in and you hit the message tab, the thumbnail isn't always the current msg.
Emails look a TON different. Much smaller text = YAY!

Knucklehead noobie here... Where do I get the updated ROM from? Thanks.

Does flashing a new ROM delete all your text messages and stuff?

ranestari, yes it does.
However, just sign up for the Microsoft MyPhone thing (free, and if you already have a live account, you're good to go.) The MyPhone app is in your start menu.
It will back up (sync) all of your texts and pics to their online space, only accessible by you (http://myphone.microsoft.com)
When you flash the rom, just launch the MyPhone app again, log in etc... and it will sync all your texts back to your phone.
There are third party sync options out there, but I've never seen the point.

After flashing 3.14 to my HTC HD2, Microsoft My Phone no longer can synchronize with my computer. It just gets stuck at Authenticating User.
Anybody else have this problem?

Microsoft MyPhone doesn't sync with your computer. It syncs to the cloud (internet). Just put in your live, msn, hotmail or whatever account you configured it with before you flashed, and it should resync.

Can you elaborate on this? My main frustration with the current rom is the stupid HTC messaging client with swype. I absolutely despise this thing and I tried disabling it and going back to the old windows messaging but that didn't go too well (unread counter never resets.. OMFG so frustrating!). My only hope is that they fix this crap in the new rom.
Is the lag when loading texts still ridiculous? Is it at least somewhat better? Why haven't they figured this out, this is just pure crazy in my opinion. A company of that magnitude can't figure out how to fix one of the most basic applications in the phone. this is absurd.

I personally HATE Swype and disable it evertime I flash to a new ROM or come in contact with someone thats got an HD2 with it enabled, but what I can say is that while HTC Messageing in the new ROM is "faster" its also just as slow. What I mean is that (for me anyways) it no longer lags when I get a new text, but its just as slow to load a thread if it has any ammount of messages in it. Personally I don't find HTC Messageing to be all that bad if you just delete your threads every now and then, but thats just me.

Problems I've had with DJ05

Kind of a pointless post but if anyones interested heres my observations thus far from flashing the three things i listed below. I'm really enjoying it overall. So I dont know which has the problems.. I have DJ05 modem, Stock DJ05 rom unrooted, and geeknik superfast (always current) test release kernal.
Tetris is broken no matter what I do... (I paid for it :'c ) tried restoring it with titanium... installing with the apk from my friends phone / putting the apk in the apps folder... and even downloading the similar one from the apps market. No go they either dont show up or freeze on boot up. i loved that version of tetris! QQ
V. Visual voicemail, for some reason when my face gets close to the sensor it turns off my visual voicemail. so ?I can only use it with speakerphone and face up. I know google voice does the same thing, I like VVM.
Swype... when I correct a word it will one in five times put the corrected word at the end of the paragraph instead of replacing the highlighted word. cant figure out why
as for the good. reception seems more reliable... 3g seems more reliable... phone feels faster... battery lasts longer... gps works properly... life is good
one day when we get proper flash, i will be truly happy!

Very odd regarding swype, mine worked perfectly after DJ05 update. JT's new clean DJ05 has the updated swype, you should install that and see if it fixes your problem. Good luck

Can someone check a possible bug for me, go to either email\gmail click on settings and then click on select ringtone, do you get a FC?

Tetris plays fine for me.

everything works great for me ...when I installed dj05 modem then got to the clockwork menur when to the partion menu before flashing & I mounted the system data then the flashed super clean v.9 rom with stupid fast oc kernel evything works fine dont know about VVW cant stand it bloat ware swyp A ok

"It works fine for me as long as I have previously enabled the Email notifications check box."
I second that.
Dj05 actually solved some really weird shutdown/startup behavior I had.
A lot of times I'd power down my phone and it would start right back up again... sometimes it would take a really long time or just freeze powering down. Weird stuff like that........ all fixed
I think geekniks has the updated swype as well because its different... there seems to be more spacing between the letters. swype in general is being really weird. I might try JT's...... I think geekniks is built off JTs though
not sure.

Overall, I'm loving DJ05. I have 2 problems so far, both minor.

Noticed changes in DL30

I don’t see a thread like this so I would like to start one
I have noticed a ton of changes in the stock DL30 build and there are still some i probably haven’t ran into yet. I think it would be fun to see what changes people have noticed. . I know a lot of these are in the original leak thread but that thread is too saturated with questions and issues people are having.
I would kind of like to keep it clean so I would like to see lists of changes only and not a ton of questions.
I will start off with a few things I have noticed so far. I have left out some of the obvious things that comes with froyo but feel free to add them if you wish
-Facebook syncs contacts automatically. No need to get friends and then check the ones you want from Facebook
-You can now manually join contacts. Maybe you could do this before?
-You can now use custom ringtones for contacts that aren’t local on the phone
-You can use media files for ringtones
-Can now use multiple exchange accounts
-Can now use out of office for exchange accounts
-Can use pin unlock even though it doesn’t work because it says you need a symbol
-New theme which I actually like.
-Has new e-mail and text counts on the Touch wiz icons
-Can use media or voice tones for alarm
-The sliding thingy when you are typing, makes it much easier to correct spelling mistakes
-Can change fonts
-Media hub added
-Includes Samsung keyboard which I prefer over the others now
-Dock now works!

Only thing I don't like is that you have to enable background data in order to do anything related to data. Never had to do that before.

Anyone got yahoo email setup on the new DL30? I tried to read email (HTML based) from like amazon and other spam I usually get and now it say message too long, cant not display.
Anyone getting that too?

Pinch to view home screens.
Email count on the home screen is awesome....
jv

Few things I noticed so far:
For exchange accounts it lets you choose seperate peak and off peak sync times which is cool.
The notifications has an auto-rotation on/off button along with your wifi, bt etc. But it doesn't really work with your homescreens unless you install laungher pro or something.
Signal strength has definitely increased.
Also, after I got DL30, I was asked to update camera firmware, and that added a couple of minor changes to camera.

Also forgot to mention that while in Car or Desk cradle the home screen now is landscape. Also when you get calls when on either the call screen is landscape!!! can you say "Awesome"!!!!
jv

And I am sure everyone is dying to know this, they replaced blockbuster with media hub.

Couple of things, keep in mind I was rooted running a custom ROM previously and now have LP running:
1. I like the changes to gmail (I was used to 2.2 gmail from my droid, took me a sec to figure where the send button moved to)
2. For whatever reason, after flashing and restoring apps with Titanium, I was debinged, however, that applies to voice search and all functions of the car dock aside from basic search. Hence, none of those functions work (voice search, navigation, maps. Not a deal breaker..just an observation.
3. The battery icon seems likes it's not even tied to the actual charge amount. Again..no big deal, I use simi clock and I check my battery there.
4. Gallery renders FAST..
5. Market still on old version...hasn't updated yet.
Haven't had a chance to really check any flash websites but will get around to it.

Issue with back button from contacts
Has anyone else had the back button stop working when in contacts?
It worked fine when I first got done with the update, then sometime after sync of facebook it stopped working. Not sure if that was the cause but something made it stop.

Be sure to open up the camera app. New firmware there.

I also noticed some of the bloat apps I had to remove when I first got my phone are gone. CityID immediately comes to mind (which I thought was the worst thing ever!), but I also noticed the Kindle app is missing and someone already mentioned Blockbuster. I thought they were more, but my memory is escaping me now.
The stock music player is also different, but this is my first Android device and thus first experience with 2.2, so this might just be a froyo thing. When I'm playing music and turn the screen off, when I turn it back on to the lock screen, there's a piece of CD hanging from the top of the screen. This can be pulled down to control the music. I never noticed this before, but I also may have never used the music player with the puzzle lock screen. Anyway, it's a cool feature that I dig. If I change to the AOSP lock screen (which I like way more than the puzzle lock), will this feature still be present?

I found a workaround for the Exchange pin issue.
If you setup a PIN before you setup your Exchange account from settings-> location & security-> screen unlock, it will work. You'll still see the message about device security needing to be setup at first but it will start syncing and not ask again.
Hope this helps!

Thank you, thank you, and thank you!
This was the main thing that bugged me on this rom and i was able to get around it. If you have the security policies already pushed you can go into Device administrator and remove the one for your exchange account, then go change your PIN, after a while your e-mail account will tell you that you need to enable the security policy again.
Thanks again!

Glad this worked for you. As an Exchange Administrator and user, this is one of the best features of Froyo!!! No more full keyboard to enter PIN.

How can you tell if its the new market? What changed? Also, tried some web sites for flash but doesnt want to play. I'll have to try with a different browser.

Yup, CityID, Blockbuster, Kindle, the demos for Need for Speed and Tetris and a few others.
I'm wondering if this was an early version of 2.2, before they had a chance to add all that crap in. Would be nice if Verizon listened to their customers and actually choose to leave that stuff out in 2.2.

you have to go to the market and download adobe flash player 10.1
i have noticed SIGNIFICANT battery/signal strength increase.. I was barely able to get 16 hours out of my battery before and now mines been on for 14 hours and its still at 60 percent.. my time without a signal was at like 30% on DL09 or DJ05 and now its at 4% without a signal. much more memory available.. could be because im using super clean tho..
