Please excuse my noob question. I tried to search but didn't find an answer.
My Cingular 8525 with the latest official WM5 ROM has started acting up. It seems to think there is a notification present. It blinks the LED in yellow and sporadically makes the sound currently programmed for new voicemails. If I afterwards I get a valid notification (e.g. missed call), and I clear that notification, then the LED blinks green and the phone behaves normally.
If I soft-reset the phone, a few seconds after the green Windows Mobile screen displays, the phone vibrates and plays the sound. It keeps playing the sound and vibrating every few seconds for a while, blinking the yellow LED (the phone is fully charged). I don't see any other notifications on the screen. After a while it sometimes stops playing the sound, but the LED keeps blinking yellow. The playing of the sound occurs at longer intervals if you just let the phone sit. Only if another valid notification occurs and is then cleared does the blinking LED turn green.
I haven't installed any new software recently. It just started doing it on its own. I can't pinpoint any event that started this. It seems to be activated early during the boot process, before the normal WM5 Today screen comes up.
Does anyone have any idea what might be causing this?

Thanks!
I couldn't find how to delete notifications with the trial version of SKtools, probably because it only shows 6 entries of things it finds wrong in demo mode, but I was able to use MemMaid. Seems like a good program so I may buy it.
There were a few duplicates, but the problem persists after removing them. Same symptoms as before.
I hope the official WM6 comes out soon. I don't want to hard reset my phone until then.
What I don't understand is that getting some notification (e.g. a missed call) will result in the phone going back to normal. Also, the sound/vibration that it makes stops after a few minutes, only the blinking yellow LED remains until clearing another notification makes things go back to normal.
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.
I tried good searching this and searching it here and it didnt come up.
This is a bizarre issue that has been intermittent for a while but has been very persistent over the last few weeks.
It seems that every time my phone rings and i take it out of my pocket to answer it hangs up on the call and doesn't even put a 'miss call' notification in the status bar. I am sure im not pressing the end call button before anyone asks!
Then if i try to dial back immediately it wont call - it goes to the call screen and then immediately goes red and says 'call ended'
I'm using root and jeasusfreak cupcake
I have the same problem
Do you have grooveshark appl too ?
Hi,
i rooted couple days ago my Wildfire to CyanogenMod 7.1.0 RC.
All things is working perfet but sms notifation not.
Ringtone come, led blink but no any vibration. I have put vibration ON both go sms and wf settings...
What i am doing wrong?
nothing, when someone call you, is the phone vibrating?
Somehow i get it work!
I reboot phone and then unistall some unused programs and suddenly vibrate come back. I think that this programs had some weird settings on....
Anyone having this problem? All of a sudden when I either receive a call or place a call, the Call app that does the overlay locks up and the screen goes completely unresponsive. I can't answer the call (except via a bluetooth device). Likewise with hanging up. I can't press the buttons to turn on speaker -- nothing works. The notification comes up green during a call with the phone icon, but no text.
Eventually: "Call is not responding" pops up, and I'm given the options to Wait or End the app. Ending the app sees it restart immediately and become unresponsive again. Rebooting the phone or waiting for the call to disconnect are my only ways out.
Beyond frustrating! Any ideas? HELP & thanks!
