[Q] Incoming Call - No vibration - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Ok this is a really odd problem that I am having with my galaxy S4, running 4.4.2 NO custom roms/root or anything like that.
So whenever I get a phone call (this just started happening a few weeks ago) and I'm on the 'vibrate' profile, the phone will get the incoming call with the person's face on the screen showing me that the call is coming in, like normal. However, the phone does not vibrate at all, in fact, I see the silent logo on the top notification bar (even though the phone was on vibrate) and once I answer the call, the silent symbol is replaced by the vibrate one. This is only occurring with phone calls, not texts or other app notifications. So to recap: phone will not vibrate for incoming calls even though it is set to do so. Anybody have any idea of what is going on?!
Thanks.

No ring?

Sometimes my phone turns on, displays call ID, and even rings via bluetooth, but it won't make an audible ring. I know that all volume settings are correct because afterwards my missed call sound plays.
Any ideas what is going on or how to fix it?
Hi, I get this too occasionally - all of a sudden I will get a voicemail message and the phone did not ring. then a few mins later I may get another call and it rings as normal...
I am running ringo, so if you are as well that might be the problem.

On Vibration mode is changing to silent when receiving a phone call

Suddenly my N4 4.3 rooted when vibration mode is on and im receiving a phone call instead of vibrating is changing to silent mode, not only on phone call almost on everything SMS, Gmail. I'd mind the rest but phone calls are more important for me then the rest!! Any idea why suddenly my phone decided to do thing like that?

S4 speaker goes dead after text message while on a call. PLEASE HELP!

I am having a problem on my S4 that I had on my S3. I am stock rooted on MF9. It happens when I am on a call and receive a text message during the call. It also sometimes happens when I am on a call and receive a call (call waiting) and do not answer it. After I receive the text or missed call waiting call I can continue the call that I am on. However, when I hang up 2 things happen. First my notification volume goes down to almost 0. I do not hear any notifications such as texts, etc (at about 5% volume even turned up all the way). When I try to make my next call my speaker (earpiece) stops working completely. I hear the beep from it that the call connected and the timer starts but I can not hear anything on the other end. This was a big problem on my S3 and now it just started happening on my S4. I am using handcent for my texts. In handcent I tried turning the alert on and off while on a call. I have to reset my phone several times a day as this is the only thing that fixes this issue. Can someone please help me figure out what is wrong?

I have solved the issue. It is being caused by an old app that I had installed called call waiting configurations 1.9.9. This app was messing up the sounds on my S3 and S4 so if you have it DELETE IT.

[Q] stock phone app often doesnt show its gui when receiving a call

hey all,
a while ago, suddenly one day without notice, my phone started behaving funny when receiving an incoming phone call.
Often, the Phone App's GUI wouldn't appear in the foreground. the phone would ring and vibrate properly, i could silent the ring with the volume rocker, but i have no way to answer the call. i know when it is finished ringing when i can see the missed call notification in the notifications bar.
also, during the ringing, i can continue using the app that was already in the foreground, the home button is disabled, and the notifications shade is disabled (cannot be pulled down)
i have no idea what i did to cause this (maybe playing with Handy Call?) and no idea how to get out of this state.
the worst part is, it seems to be random, i have no idea why it happens sometimes and not others. it is super annoying. ive actually started assigning specific ringtones to important people so i know immediately who is calling.
any one encounter this? any ideas?

no calls or missed call notifications in doze

my nexus 6p in on stock N and i get no incoming calls when my phone goes into doze

i am not sure when this issue started but it has probably been going on for a few months at least
i got another 6p and the new phone has the same exact issue , 2 phones and i get no incoming calls or missed call notifications on either one of them , when i wake up i have to wake the phone and sometimes that does not even work and calls will not go through again until a reboot
