Phone Calls

Is it my phone or what
when i get a call I feel the vibration and hear the ring tone about 4 to 5 seconds before the screen turns on so I could answer

Do they plan on doing anything about this?

You guys dont happen to have SMS popup installed??

I am having the same issue but don't have SMS popup. I do however have dxTop, Missed Call, a rooted phone, and my apps on my SD card. I noticed it some time after I got the last Missed Call update (when they changed the logo) and added dxTop. Do any of you have a similar setup? Maybe we can figure this thing out.

I don't have any of those apps installed and am experiencing the same problem.
I do have K9 and I get a wait/force close periodically.
I do have caller lookup installed though (because it's apparently very important that I don't let my factory warranty on my truck expire).
I'm using JFRC33 1.42 but I can't say that it didn't happen with previous firmwares, it just seems to be happening more often now. It hasn't happened in a few days though.
It really does seem like there's a combination of factors that cause the problem, I just haven't been able to notice the pattern yet.
I have not done a wipe either.

Hmmm... I have JFRC33 1.42 as well with the updated radio (1.22.14.11) and K-9 Mail which I too am having numerous force close issues. Maybe K9 is the culprit? Anyone else have K-9 as well?

I have the same issue and just got to the point where I had to remove my 8GB sd with apps to ext2, wipe and now I only have pretty much the stock apps, stock messaging, no sms pop up, 1GB sd with jfv1.42_RC33_MOD
just did it last night to see if it works fine now.
I'll post it as soon as I found out whether it works or not

so far the problem is GONE! the phone ring right away, shows the caller info as should be yeeeh!! am testing right now installing custom ringtones and missed call app, running missed call app is causing the phone to ring only twice and goes to VM right away, rebooted and everything is normal but no doubt that missed call is causing some unwanted actions in the phone,

how many apps you have? are you rooted? apps in the sd? lets find out how far can we go to resolve this.. I think is related to the amount of apps and the notification apps running, I don't have K9 tho..

Blank Call Answer Screen

Every once in a while for the past month or two, when I receive a call, my X10 will vibrate and ring as normal, but the screen will be blank rather than presenting the caller ID and call answer buttons. Sometimes when this happens, it'll eventually show up, while other times I simply get a FC message regarding the phone app.
In the time since I first experienced this, I have upgraded my stock 014 firmware to 016 through SEUS via Rogers, and then this past weekend I rooted the phone to R2BA023, and yet it still happens.
I have disabled both Facebook and Twitter sync in the settings panel, and have tried changing my ringtone all to no avail.
Has anyone else experienced something similar, and maybe know what may be causing this?
I'm going to attempt some testing with various 3rd-party apps uninstalled, to see if it may be some sort of conflict, but I find it odd this has persisted through firmware updates and complete OS re-install (root).

Hi - Yes I've had this happen too.. not very often, but seems to be when I'm in the middle of doing something else.. Think it was when I was in Handscent SMS when it happened today.

Same it happen to me, i just beat on it until it blink up the damn slide. Which 9 out of 10, i will miss the call thanks to the stupid slide still being as slow as before the update.

OT (so apologies)... my swipe is super fast since the update... Are you running any task killers or anything.. (I'm not...)..

I generally do, but it still pisses me off. I have a feeling it's just SE's version of the phone app, but I can't be sure.
I'm using Phonebook 2.0 as an alternate contact manager, but calls still come through the default phone app, and I'm not sure if there's a way to change that without a custom ROM.

Yeah have noticed this issue sometimes. I am on generic R2BA020 uk firmware.
When the phone rings, the screen lights up but I cant answer cause the screen is a Blank blue screen for like 5-8 seconds. After which the slider pops up allowing me to answer. Never had this problem on the older firmware.
I dont use a task killer or handcent.

***EPIC - NEED HELP TXT MESSAGING, BLUETOOTH, QIK for EB13 *PLEASE!

OK I need help and serious input since these are the things I use the most. I will give you a little history also. On 0:00 Tuesday 02/22/2011 I downloaded samsung update for EB13. I flashed the phone, and everything went well even the one-click-root-2.5.5. So with my issues appearing I researched and seen many others had issues not like mine. I called Sprint they had me do a hard reset on my phone. Still the issues are a not real bad but I had having to restart my phone 6 or 7 times a day. I even went to the store and the rep said there were no so called "quote issues with the EPIC cause he has one". I need my phone re-flash. I told him I did that. He said have a hard reset done to it. I did it the day after the I flashed it. I told him I still have issues and no one has been able to help me. He said take the phone back and get a new one then. His name is Mike at the Sprint Store on Oleander Dr Wilmington, NC. Lots of help Mike. Just admit the software is sh*t like the phone reps did on the phone. Re-flashing and a hard reset is something I already did, and removed alot of useless app, from the guide on switch apps to remove. So PLEASE someone come up with some mods or ideas to help me. PLEASE. I got no clue on this.
1. Txt messaging. After an hour of non use when trying to send a txt. The txt hangs. I tried de-activating and a signal refresh. Dont work. Only fix is re-start the phone, and re-send the txt.
2. Bluetooth. After non use for an hr Bluetooth says it is still connected. When calls comes in however it is not connected. I have to manual connect, or if no call, I have to do a signal refresh. Not even turning off bluetooth works. The Sprint rep says it is the only work around they have and know about it.
3. QIK. Ok Qik on 2.1 used do a portrait on the front camera. Now it records only as landscape, but shows as portrait. I spoke to Sprint about this also and they said it some I am going to have to deal with. I drive alot to job to job, so I dont have alot of time to play with settings.

bluetooth problems?
i have flashed the eb13 froyo onto my epic with the eb13 supernova,genocide .3a kernal and everything seems to be almost perfect except i still can not give voice commands over my bluetooth ....it will activate, say speak now and then it will disconnect before i can even give a command...if there is a fix for this please let me know...thanks

Txt messenging found
I found the same issue and a fix for it other than reboot. This was found back in July on another phone and carrier but with Android 2.2 Froyo. So this issue is with the OS its self.
A. Settings menu
B. Applications menu
C. Manage Applications
D. Messaging app
E. Force Close button

Re: Android 2.2 text message problem
Fixed it!!! In case anyone else out there is having the same problem, the way I fixed it was by going to the Settings menu from the home screen, then to the Applications menu, then to Manage Applications, then to the Running tab, then to the Messaging app with the icon that Andriod uses for the text function. Then I clicked on the Force Close button. Now it sends text message with no problem. Go figure.

Back up your data with MyBackup Root, use Odin to restore full, clean EB13, then use the Market or AppBrain to reinstall your apps, and your backup to restore only the data for those specific apps. That will solve almost all problems related to the OTA update, including yours, OP.

But he used the .exe...
I think he mightve removed something by accident...was the "apps safe to remove" thread updated for EB13?

Thanks everyone for replying with some needed input and issues of your own. I do think I can live with the messaging app since I found a temp fix for it(force close). I also believe I can live with Qik recording in landscape, even though it was not designed that way for the front camera. However I cannot live the issue of Bluetooth. I need as I will never put a touch screen phone to my ear or listen to it on speaker, like some of these dumb a$$ doing this walking around in public. I drive from job to job and it is very difficult for me to play with setting while driving. NC is becoming a handsfree cell phone state like so many others, and there is no txting while driving at all. It is a dangerous thing to do. I have read older posts from other phone that received 2.2 much earlier in the year and I believe that is OS is $hit. However 2.1 does not have Bluetooth activated command dialing.
*So for you people that are catching up, I did install from the exe and seemed to work fine and even after I rooted with a clockworkmod 2.5.1 recovery. I even did a hard reset with Sprint. I did not removed any important applications as mobile hotspot is this there. I have not upgraded to any new kernel, or rom. These issues are minor, but a major inconvenience. Bluetooth will work for awhile, but then with a call comes in after a hr of rebooting I have to connect manually after it has been paired. ""Sprint said that this was a issue known in the OS, but I am wondering if anyone has found a kernel or mod to correct this issue?""

Why not back it up and then go into cwm and clear the cache/DCache and then run the .exe without removing ANYTHING and see if your problems persist?
If they don't, then take out an .apk one at a time until you find the one that breaks your functions...

"Information about prevention" driving me insane..

Edit: Sorry I just realized I posted this in the wrong section. Sorry about that.
Hello guys, =)
I currently have my SGS4 (GT-i9505) since release and haven't upgraded firmware since then (I was rooted). Everything worked fine until I noticed that when 4G became available in my area I didn't receive it. Then after a few google hits, it said I had to update so 4G would become active. Did that and flashed I9505XXUDMH8.
Everything went fine for one thing however. Immediately upon reboot my launcher (apex launcher) would force close. Then a message would show up telling me it has been forced closed due to suspicious behavior. Now, this wouldn't be much of a problem if it was just the launcher, but it happens to every damn app.
Anything that can get root access or can adjust system settings gets shut down right from the start. I've tried reflashing the firmware, resetting factory settings and I've searched a couple of hours on the web but I couldn't find anything helpful. It seems to be triggered by a new Samsung security feature (or perhaps even KNOX).
Is there any trick to get rid of this? Because I REALLY do not want Samsung telling me what I can and can not do with my phone. Otherwise I would get an iPhone. I really need to bypass this filthy mechanic one way or another (without removing 4G support) so that I can use backups without a problem.
Thanks in advance!
Shuji.

Phone call problem

Anyone else find that every once in a while you'll call someone and won't be able to hear anything and they won't hear you until you call them back? Happens when I call out from time to time. Very frustrating.
Tried wiping dialer data. Also tried reinstalling app updates from the play store, no change.

I'm actually on ATT, which means it's probably not carrier related. Wonder if anyone knows of any alternate dialers that would work? Could see if it's app related or driver related.

I've done this but found my phone was on mute. Next time it happens check to see if that's the case. I think maybe it is easy to hit with your face?

I had the same issue but it would work with some numbers and not with others. I found a setting under the caller that was turned on for hearing aid support. Once I turned that off, it seems that my issues have gone away.
10 hours into the phone (got mine this AM) and I like the device but still not a fan of the camera, even with the Google camera port. Some things essentially (intentional) seem half baked or not thought completely through.
I just downloaded the MS Launcher and I have to say, I like it a lot. I'm considering keeping that the stock launcher.b

Same issue, my face it's the mute button all the time.

Happened twice in a day, I had to reset everything and still same if I restore all apps from back and/or if I connect my phone to car bluetooth --> safe unlock.
