hello everyone, I just got the Mogul and Im getting a bunch of missing calls, I found out that whenever the device is powered off (external or battery) I dont receive any calls, I know the phone is ON because the led is blinking but no calls as soon I turn power ON with side button I get the ntification of missed call, is there any setup Im missing or this is a defective phone?
I have treo as well, even the power off, when someone calls everything light up and it rings.
Edit: Never mind the soft reset fixed it, sorry you can delete this thread.
Settings>Phone>Services>Roaming>Get Settings, Make sure Sprint Only is selected.
If you hop onto a different network for some reason, your calls will go straight to voicemail. This is a Sprint problem, not a Mogul problem, I had this issue with my Moto Q.

Bad advice. It's a WM problem, not a Sprint problem as evidenced by a soft reset fixing it.
Yes because everyone knows after a soft reset that there's no way your network will change.
I know that in pigfucker land where you live there's only one cell tower, but in real cities there's multiple towers for multiple carriers. Call ************* Sprint and they will tell you the same thing I did. Turn off roaming and your calls won't go straight to voicemail. Sprint has this problem with A LOT of their phones and that's how they solve it.
you dont have to be so angry about it.
HAHA!
He's got a point. Just because a softreset fixed it this time doesn't mean its a device issue. This has happened with other phones (even non-smart devices) as well. A power cycle usually resets your service with the towers.
Couldn't help but post a reply
After reading the posts, I am still not sure if I understand the problem. Is pigfuckerland the only place where this is happening. Since I do not live in pigfuckerland, would I expect that the Sprint tower problem will not occur where I live. Please be more specific in your posts as I would like to avoid pigfuckerland on my travels. I have attempted to look up pigfuckerland in Google Maps, but did not locate it there. Will try using Wikipedia next to see if a post regarding pigfuckerland has made it online. Thanks for any and all information in advance on pigfuckerland that you are able to provide.
Dragon_76 = dicksucking moron for listening to Sprint and repeating what some CS rep told her
I would recommend you change the call ringer pulling setting from the default 5sec or something lower.
If a caller don't call long enough, you might miss a call.
Having a lot of problems
I'm also having the same problem with my Mogul, but I don't think soft reseting the phone fixes anything, it might fix it but only for a day or so. There has to be an explanation for this issue but I need a solution because it's driving me crazy. In average, I'm missing 2 calls per day and that's frustrating. This problem didn't start happening when I first got the phone, it was after a month or so that it began to happen. I'm not sure if there's an application that I installed that's causing this. First I blamed it on psShutXp, then on WMP because I started using it when I bought a bluetooth headphone, or my 8gb sdhc memory card that I recently bought. Whatever the problem is I need to know please!!!!!!!!!
What Radio ROM are you running? I had such problems with the Telus P4000 which is the HTC PPC-6800 or Sprint Mogul. I am currently running 2.06D and it's great the unit came with 1.32 originally, tried 1.40 and 1.47.01. 1.47.01 wasn't bad but not great, had some luck with 2.13 but found 2.06D to work best. I am interested in the latest rom which here which enables REV A, this may help too.
Hey Duck,
try doing this. I think that was happening to me too when i first got my phone. it is going into like a hibernation mode and like a computer's hard drive it is suspending itself til you wake it up. try going into settings/system/ power management or the battery icon. In there go to advanced and make sure that you unmark the two check boxes cuz you obviously dont want the unit to turn off. I hope this works for you.
A friend of mine had this same problem on his P4000. He changed the settings on his phone so that the screen never turns off. When I found out I told him that was a rediculous solution...he told me a CSR told him it was a fix. I convinced him to do a hard reset and it has fixed the problem. If it didn't, I was going to get him to DOA his phone. Try hard resetting...see what happens.
LOL at you people replying to a post from MAY 2007, 4 rom upgrades later toooooo funny
I'm Having the Same Problem
I live in Puerto Rico a US Island 100X35 and hare we have worlds largest collections of antennas per square mile... I is no a problem antennas....
I have the new Sprint ROM I hard reset the Phone and it works for a Day or so without having any app installed on it... and the problem persist... lot of misscalls and some times no voicemail notifications or miss calls notifications
I read a lot and have a lot of hard times with ****ING MORONS in sprint and the have this strange ****ING useless database with most common problems that the only problems reported are with Java and with Bluetooth so after a lot of reading I found some articles about people saying that they ware trying to make some changes to the Bluetooth and they start having problems with calls notifications... Ummmm Java and Bluetooth may be part of the problems when my phone works better is when I have no Headset and when have no Java appz but Hey is a ****ING PDA Phone I want to use Bluetooth... and Java...
What ever it is the problem I don't Know but is someone really know let me know and please **** Sprint and **** Microsoft jejejeje sorry But I think sprint programmers are a bunch of incompetents in a partnership with the Morons of microsoft... and HTC making thinks without thinks about a simple thing (BUG FREE, LOTS OF TESTING, and SOFTWARE and HARDWARE INTEGRATION)
That is what makes Linux what Linux is GPL good Hardware, Testing and Good Integration....
Bluetooth Problems
I've noticed that the problem with missed calls starts happens a lot when I start using my Bluetooth devices. I have the Motorokr S9 headphones and the motorola bluetooth speaker for my car. If I reset my phone then I'll work fine as long as I'm not using bluetooth devices. I'm not saying there's problems with the bluetooth devices but rather the firmware installed on the phone. Hopefully htc/sprint can fix this bug in the next ROM release which is supposed to come out early this year Please let me know if you are having the same problems when using your bluetooth devices!!!!!! We need to find out what's causing this.

Ok I'm Testing for obligation the New (not even Alpha ROM 3.16.651.0) becuse I cant go back to my old ROM I don't Know why but That is not the thing The thing is that I have stop using My Bluetooth because I left it in a friends house and I have seen that I'm having very less problems with The lost Calls... I don't Know Some say it is Sprint Problems, Some Say Windows Problems some say Active Sync Problems.... I personally thinks a little bit of everything....
For now I'm having less problems now that I'm not using the headset...
Hi,
I have just witnessed the wierdest problem yet on ANY phone I have EVER owned.
The problem is as follows:
While someone is calling, I will suddenly start hearing the person calling me on the loud speaker of the phone WHILE its still ringing and the person on the other end HAVE NO IDEA that I can hear him !!!!!!!!
So I start hearing the ringtone AND the person on the other end both at the same time !!!!.
It happens randomly and it happens without any interferance from me.
The phone is using the Stock ERE27 with superboot and root.
I have no clue as to what could even cause this, or how its possible. If anyone has ANY idea........PLEASE let me know!.
Wow, is this consistent?
I'd say it might be a provider issue actually.. I may be wrong, but I think that unless provider sends a "connect" command that would start transfering the voice over to your phone, your N1 wouldn't be able to make you hear him/her.
Just thinking out loud. Maybe worth calling their support or going on their forums to see if other people have same problem and if it's specific to N1 or that provider.
I never had that problem with any of the phones (AT&T US)

Nope, its not consistent, it happens out of the blue and randomly. But it does happen quiet often........say around once every 2 days or so. I thought it could be provider related as well, but I have been using the same sim card for many years and I never had anything like this......chances are that this started happening from the provider around the same time i started using my N1 are quiet slim........it will have to be one hell of a coincidence.
I have 2 other friends with N1s and they are using the same telecom provider as myself, but they have no such issues :S

Old sim cards can cause problems. At least in the greater than 1-2 year range or so with tmobile and with 3g being added to the network lately. Get a new sim card in store and see how that helps... it shouldn't hurt anything.

That's actually kinda cool, I wish my phone did that.
That's bloody weird :S
well, I would rather find out why or how is this happening before I start changing sims. Because the timming of the problem is too close to ignore ! It only started happening like 2 weeks after I started using N1.
This happened to me last night for the first time. No other phone did this and i used the same sim. My sim is not old.
Finally !! Someone else ! So im not alone.......and this is looking more and more like a manufacturing problem with the N1s......and I would say this a major screw up!
I have the same problem as well, first only with 1 person but at the moment i can hear everybody before accepting. I dont have a problem with it, its good if they say something bad about you.
wow that's a weird bug! we just found a weird bug on the palm pre, where when you are on a call and someone else calls in with call waiting. if the current active call hangs up, the palm pre automatically answers the incoming call waiting call seemlessly so you dont know the difference! yet the phone still shows the original caller ID, and the call time counter still continues for the original call.
kinda a serious bug in a way, lets say you dont wanna answer that person's call, but the pre does it anyway.
It's happened to me on an old Nokia...(6 years ago) on Cingular. I think it's got something to do with the carrier and the simcard security. When it happened to me, it happened the other way. I was calling and I could hear the conversation before they picked up.
Does anyone know where I should be looking to find any clue as to whats happening in background thats causing this malfunction ? I would like to try and re-create the issue other phones.....but I will need to find out first if its software or hardware related.
Basically what im asking is........where do I look (log files and stuff like that) to give me hints ?
I'd like to see how to enable that feature!!! I wanna see what some folks say before I answer their calls!!!
This used to happen to me when I first bought the nokia 6600. When I got an incoming call, I usually press the silence button, hold the phone to my ear, and then pressed answer. But before I could press answer, I could hear the people on the other end, *****ing about me, calling to sell credit card, etc etc.. (lol)
I thought it was the phone, but few other people got the same issue.. with different phones.
it was eventually rectified by the carrier. (As I did nothing to the phone and all was back to normal)
So No one has any bright ideas to solving this mystery ? From the posts so far, it seems like a device issue more than a telecom issue......
lol. it happened to me once.
i have experienced this so many times well mostly with a very old sony phone. like the pervoius post mentioned, u change the volume while ur phone is ringing before answering the call. u put the phone on ur ears and boom.
i enjoyed it when i had that phone. always hearing ppl talking **** about you without them knowing is power: p
anyways my nexus one did it. stock not rooted not unlocked. using it in oman
I think i discovered a huge issue with the new firmware. When i have a second line calling me the screen does not wake up allowing me to switch to the second call. In the past, when a second call comes in the proximity sensor would wake the screen and allow me to take or reject the call. Now i cant even see who is calling. Since i use the phone for business, this is a big, big issue. Anyone else experience this?
Can anyone please check this for me please by calling their voicemail and then dialing their own cell # from another phone please. Thanks
you're right. phone does not wake up but you can push the power button wake it up.
I tested.
When the phone beeps to tell me a have another call i take phone away from my head and proximity censor takes a little longer..like 5 sec before screen comes on.
But mine doesn't stay off like yours...tested 5 times

My screen does come on eventually about 5 seconds. Before it used to be instant. Hitting the power button doesn't wake the phone like the other user mentioned. Do u guys think a factory reset will help. I am reluctant to take the plunge cause its such a pain in the neck to reinstall everything.
I have the same issue as well. I tested 3 times and the issue existed every time. I tried to unlock the phone with power button but it wouldn't unlock it (maybe lag?) because after I pressed power button 4 times, THEN it lit up for a moment but by that time, the waiting call already ended.
I'm surprised more people aren't bothered with this serious issue.
Got the same issues, updated via ODIN, argh that's gonna be fun.
Interesting...it would be great if you guys contacted Samsung via email/other method to let them know about the issue. Hopefully they can fix this bug.

I would love to contact them, just not sure where/how. Even if they do fix it, it will only come with another bug fix OTA or Froyo whichever comes first. Given Samsung's track record, this will probably take a while. To me personally, this is an earth shaterring issue since i use the phone exclusively for business being on multiple lines often. Its so bad for me that if it isnt fixed by the time the new mytouch HD comes out, I will have to dump the vibrant even though i love it so much. Me missing calls far outweighs the "love" for this handset.
Its been a few days now since many of us have gotten the update and I am surprised so few of us have not reported this. Has anyone been able to come up with a temporary fix or a replacement dialer to alleviate the horrible issue??
its been a few days now since many of us have gotten the update and i cant believe how so few people have complained about this. It is so annoying not to see who is calling on the second line .
I just got the firmware today and I'd be willing to go back. I missed three calls today because of it. Now what do I do?
So usually after the phone has been in my pocket a bit, if I try to make a call, the screen and everything looks normal, but I hear no ringing. I don't know if it is actually going through but I doubt it.
Hang up, call right back... the phone starts ringing as normal.
I do this more and more often lately. Have to call everyone twice.
Has anyone else ever had this?
I've had this happen on several different ROMs, and I've been using 2.2 since it was publicly available.
same thing is happening to me, figured it was one of the bugs with dk28, hoping the official release will fix this annoyance
+1 same bug---same hope
I've been having it at least since DK17, maybe earlier.
I have the same problem.
Same problem as soon as I installed DK28. Hopefully they have these kinks worked out in the final release.
had this same problem from long ago. but i heard it was part of the delay for then the call is being sent 2 the tower... or something along those lines
Also intermittently having this issue, but it happened with my previous, non-android phone, too. I'm pretty sure the problem isn't the phone or its software.
I'd believe it was the network easier if hanging up and calling back didn't fix it...
Same problem. When I try the first time and hear nothing, no ringing or anything, the person Im calling says their phone rang and they answered it but heard nothing.

I've had this happen also.
So why is this not widely discussed? Did everyone think it was just them? I know that's how I felt...
This is a pretty serious issue. Is anyone on stock ROM?
i have this same issue and it only started happening once i flashed froyo. quantum rom. i dont think this was happening on eclair from what i remember but also people do say their phone rings. this is kinda annoying.
I'm using Quantum, too...
this started happening to me right when I installed DK28.
I had this issue too when I installed DK28.
I just flashed back to DI18 cause it was driving me nuts.
But one thing I found was that if you turn the speaker phone on then off, your good to go.
Have this problem. I have froyo, didn't happen on DK18.
Same here. By the way...I've also had a failed audio issue on voice dialing as well. First call the receving part can never hear me. I have to hang up and call right back manually.
Omg I thought I was crazy! Its been doing this since dk17. It only happens when I call businesses though :/

Okay, this just happened to me on my new flash of Cyanogenmod. So it's either a radio or "didn't wipe cache enough times" problem, right?
Greetings Everyone,
I've had this issue with my S4 since I got it. During every phone call, at random times, it sounds like someone is hitting a button on their phone causing an annoying tone beep, like someone is pressing the 4 button. My phone is always locked during the phone call and I've asked if the other person could have hit the key which they always say no. This is HIGHLY annoying as it happens during every call. Does anyone have any suggestions on what could be the cause of this?
Thanks in advance!

maybe it is your alerts? Did you try going to Settings of the dialer, and switching off "minute minder" and "alert during calls" under "call alerts" menu?

Really strange then, never heard of this. Maybe you are calling a landline, and two people pick up on the other end, and one of them accientally hits some keys before hanging up.

I always thought it was a problem with the other persons service, but I was on the phone with HP tech support for work and I was on speakerphone with the phone laying on the desk and the guy kept asking me if I was pressing the dial tone buttons. That's when I was certain it's a problem with something on AT&T. Or just a weird problem that both my S3 and S4 have.
Which dialer are you using? I also had this same issue on my Galaxy Nexus. Haven't had the issue on the S4 yet
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using xda premium
I am completely stock just rooted.
So glad to hear I'm not the only one having the issue. I'm calling AT&T today to see what they say. Maybe it's just a jacked up phone. I'll keep you guys posted on what they say.
I have the same characteristic on my HTC One, so it's not unique to the S4. For the moment, I'm thinking it's just a tone corresponding to notifications, but I'll be following the thread with interest. Please report your finding.
ETA: Won't the joke be on all of us if we find out its the NSA listening in on our conversations?
I have the same issue with the key tones. I hear them randomly and it is so annoying. It all started when I got a warranty replacement Galaxy S3. I thought because the S3 might be a refurb. that is why it was doing this key tones. So I signed a contract and got the Galaxy S4 and the problem did not end. I had EIGHT different S4's, SIX different sim cards, did many hard resets, made two different google accounts, tried another phone, changed my phone number, and changed my account with ATT. IT STILL DOES THE NOISE!!!!! HELP ME PLEASE!!! SOMEONE!!!
Interesting... I had the exact same thing with my Sprint Galaxy S3. I hadn't pressed keys on my end, and the person on the other end (different people) always swore they hadn't pressed anything.
I haven't noticed it (yet) on my AT&T S4, but it is definitely not specific to AT&T. My S3 wasn't even rooted - completely stock. Maybe something in the more recent updates from Samsung that is going out to all the carriers?
Edit: Scratch my thought about Samsung, I see someone above mentioned the HTC One.
AT&T sent me out a HTC One to try on weds and the first convo I had with someone the key tones were there. The guy at AT&T thought it might have been my 4G LTE signal and he made my phone just 3G because he thought it was the common feature with all the phones but even with just the 3G it still does it. Im at a lost! Every time I hear the key tones I want to throw the phone against the nearest wall.
Have it on my S3, on Straight Talk AT&T sim
I've been searching and searching for an answer for this. I've had my phone since February, and this beeping only started in the past couple of months. Someone suggested it was the minute minder, but that is turned off on my phone. I've exhausted all options anyone has posted, and I guess I just have to deal with it. I'm starting to think it's the NSA thing...
By the way, my friend has heard the beeps on their end, as well but don't hear it on calls with other people so it doesn't seem to be their iPhone. Imagine that...still doesn't make me want one!
Notification beeps?

Looks like it might have something to do with "DTMF" Touch tones. In a google search, I am running across many people talking about this issue and addressing it as DTMF but haven't found a solution. Many search hits!
If anybody else wants to try and run it down further, search for DTMF tones during call or similar.

I have been searching this everywhere. I am starting to think you are right. I went back as far as 2009 though. Initially it was reported with VOIP phones. So I wonder if on the back end companies are beginning to integrate technologies.
Regardless it's annoying! I'm so glad I'm not the only one!
Similar problem, with details.
I've been having a similar issue with key tone sounds during calls as well. I'm with PureTalk USA and have been fine for over a year now, then this started happening. The problem for me began with getting a new call forwarding number because my voicemail began having issues. I noticed I was hearing intermittent sounds like a key being dialed during calls. I checked my settings, nothing indicated the phone had any kind of minute minder active. Because the beeping is irregular that wouldn't make sense anyway. During a call last night, for example, I must have heard it more than 30 times in an hour, many of those times in clusters of 4-7 in the space of only 5 minutes. This happens with incoming and outgoing calls, to any carrier, to even calls to PureTalk customer service.
The other thing I wanted to add was that this was not just with one phone. My regular handset is the unlocked Google Samsung Galaxy Nexus. I took out the sim and put it into my old Nokia GoPhone, and the problem persisted. The Nokia is not a smart phone, and the setting have never been tampered with, and the last time I'd used that phone I had never had this issue.
PureTalk has done little to resolve this matter, stating that the problem is with the handset settings, even though I've explained that I've had this error with my smart phone and with a dumb phone, but they insist the issue is on my end. Since going to their tech support my data has stopped working as well, which was a consequence of their doing an account reset to attempt to resolve my problem. They again tell me this is an issue with my handset and not on their end, despite the account reset changing nothing on my phone. Other tech support ideas such as sending a new sim card and wiping my phone didn't help, not that it would have since the error is on multiple phones, through two sim cards.
Going to switch carriers, thinking TMobile. If PureTalk is convinced my issue is in my handset and continues closing the ticket I don't see that this will ever be resolved.
