Even with auto-sync turned off, you have probably noticed that google contacts
keeps syncing on an irregular basis. It's not supposed to do this and for some reason when it does it slows down the phone BIG time.
In my experience, the only time I lose the audio (phone slows, audio goes, have to reboot) is when the google contacts are trying to sync.
If you aren't on a call when the contacts sync, the phone slows and recovers fine on its own. If you are on a call...curtains.
If the google sync issue is corrected...the problem may go away. I have no idea how to attempt to do this but I really think these issues could be tied together.

Just one problem with that statement...when on a call, EVDO (all data) drops out, meaning sync isnt possible. However, could it be possible that those experiencing issues have a problem with data continuing while on a call wrecking havoc? Just an idea. Have yet to experience this yet and hopefully wont.
hmmmm interesting
ive too also have been dealing with the audio issues, my thing is it doesnt do it all the time, my phone sometimes does have a google sync issue at times, where it kind of hangs, i too have noticed that when i loose audio my sync is connected, but when its completely off theres no probs, meaning i never have to retart phone. idk im beat once my sync is done when i flash a rom i completely turn it off and i un check always on mobile in settings, and my audio issues went away................
im not sure if this is what you guys are talking about, but ive been having an issue that is driving me insane. I can make and receive calls fine, however no sound is transmitted to either party (my mic and speaker don't work). The only thing that fixes it is a restart, then its usually only the first one or two calls after the restart that work fine, after that its lights out again. always on mobile is unchecked, contacts/mail/calendar are set to manual sync and nothing else really pulls data without me initiating it.
Ive been on with Sprint all week about it and they are sending me a replacement and credited me back the past month, so we'll see if its a ROM or a hardware thing cause the second the replacement comes in its getting rooted and flashed
I have flashed Fipz' 2.0d on my phone, my co-worker's, and my wife's. The first two phones have worked just fine, from the first boot, however, after flashing it several times, my wife's hero continues to lose audio. I have even tried the update.zip that was supposed to help it.
The only differences that I can account for is that I rooted and flashed the two working ones on a Windows computer at work, and my wife's I rooted and flashed at home in Ubuntu.
It doesn't seem likely to me that I did anything different, (other than the required differences in the code when rooting) on my wife's phone than I did on the other two.
After 3 wipes, SD Format and re-partitions, and reconfiguring her phone, it still gets that audio issue. The longest it has lasted without doing it is about 6 hours.
I have absolutely no clue what could be causing this lol

To complicate things, I'm on a mac and have flashed MatrixROM. So, it looks like nobody is safe...Ubuntu, Windows and Mac. I noticed someone had posted a possible fix a little bit ago. I may give that a shot as it's incredibly frustrating. I wish there was a way to send all calls to voicemail, cause its pointless to have them connect through right now.
hopefully anyone who wants to test the new fix has. if not please do. its on the thread i started and it uses a variation of "fixes". as stated before, we know what causes it but not really sure how to fix it. im working with a very good dev to create a kernel and ramdisk to fix it with everything working.
wifi doesnt work with the fix as of right now. but anyways hope it helps.
My wife flashed her hero to the official sprint 2.1. She had never rooted or flashed a custom rom before, so her going to the official 2.1 didn't really bother me much. However, now she's running into an issue with her data not working. A couple days ago she noticed she wasn't getting her e-mail. Strangely enough, mine quite working too (I'm on fresh 2.1.1). I rebooted my phone and mine started working. So I went to her wireless and network settings and turned off her data. I then turned it back on and after 30 seconds or so it said it was connected and everything started working just fine.
The strange part is there are no errors and even when the phone tries to check e-mail, it doesn't report any errors. Now, on my phone when this happened, my HTC Mail app threw a fit because it couldn't connect to the exchange server. Since I could refresh my gmail account and got no errors I thought it was just our exchange server. I signed into my account on my PC (for exchange) and it was in fact working fine. After I rebooted (just this one time as mentioned above) gmail kicked off with new mail and exchange connected fine.
Today, she has told me 3 times now that she went in and reset the connection (turn it off and back on) and a while later it would quit working again. She turns her phone off every night, but for good measure I am having her reboot it now.
Anyone else have this issue? She never had this problem on 1.5, so I don't think it's hardware. I've only had the issue once, but I'm also not in her area right now (tower related, maybe? My data borked when I was at home where she is at right now).
Thanks

This does seem like a tower problem. However, if you want to troubleshoot, you could always reset your data settings via the Sprint ## codes.
For data, enter this code: ##3282# on your Dial Pad. Give it a second and it'll ask if you want to view or edit your settings. Trouble shooting this problem would mean you have to Edit the settings, but in order to edit them you need your MSL code, which can be obtained by either contacting Sprint CS and asking them for it; or you can search around here on XDA and I'm pretty sure some people posted other ways to get your code.
Once you have your MSL code, choose edit when you get the pop up window and then click on your menu button -- there should be an option for you to choose reset -- enter your MSL code and your phone will reboot.
This may or may not fix your problem; I've had success whenever I've had data problems.
Hey thanks! I did a search for MSL and found a thread with a procedure to get it through CDMA workshop but the drivers don't want to work with Windows 7 x64.
However, my wife was complaining the other day that it takes a long time for her phone to start ringing when someone calls. I think I'll call sprint tonight when I get home and just tell them I need to fix that and see if they give me the MSL... Might kill two birds with one stone.

On the taking a long time to ring:
1) Move the ringtone off the SDcard into the phone, in some cases the SD card is to slow to read it fast enough. - Worked for a buddy of mine
2) There is a polling rate you can set when you get the MSL - but I have heard sprint forces a particular rate from the tower even if the phone has one set. - This will also decrease battery life.

This may be too obvious of an answer, but have you tried using the device self service tool and updating your profile and prl?

No problem, hope everything works out.
I had the same problem, took it to the sprint store (Waste of time!) and ended up hard resetting it, seems to have fixed the problem. you can hard reset by turning off the phone and then holding down the end, back and home buttons and selecting "clear storage" or "clear user data" (sorry, can't remember the exact wording). It will completely reset the software but it will wipe the data off your phone.
I got her MSL code via the logcat method that was just recently posted and reset her data and also changed her slot index. Although some people say that it is overridden at the tower, I also changed her priority. I updated her PRL as well. Before, it was ringing after I would hear about 3.5 rings, sometimes 4 full rings. Now it's ringing on the second ring. Also, her data was essentially turning off after about 30 minutes. After doing all of the above, she is saying it hasn't stopped working yet.
Thanks for all the suggestions, looks like it might be fixed.
Well it's still not fixed. She has it happen a couple times a day and now my phone is doing it too. It's not happening consistently that I can tell, just seems to randomly stop working.
Also, I'm on Fresh 2.1.2 and I'm getting some really really bad lag. I don't use any custom ringtones, just the ones that came with the phone and sometimes my phone will start to ring and the only way I know is because the vibrate starts. Then a good 3 seconds later I'm still getting a black screen as the phone is trying to tell me who it is.
I will randomly pick up my phone to surf the web too and it won't respond or do anything for like a good 10 - 15 seconds. I open up ES Task Manager and usually one of the mail apps is trying to update with like a 5% - 10% cpu usage, but that's all that has any CPU percentage. I'm not really sure what to try next. I've removed some apps that I don't really use and a couple that I just recently installed just to see if they are the culprit.
I'm using the Launcher Pro Beta too. Maybe that's it?
I've had a similar issue... only happened to me a couple of times since the update though... but I've just been turning "airplane" mode on and then off it turns off the radio and then turns it back on... seems to have worked for me...
again.. for me it's only happened a couple of times since the update to 2.1 so it could be a different issue.
I never thought of airplane mode. Doing what her and I are doing just reconnects data, not turning the radio on and off. I'm going to have her try that next and see if that fixes it. She says that she turns the phone off every night, but maybe she isn't some nights.
For the past 48 hours I have been having problems downloading anything from the UK market? Everything stops at 'Starting download'. It had been working fine until then and I uninstalled the few apps I had recently installed to see if that was the problem but no joy.
When I turned my phone on this morning it downloaded all the updates I had been trying to get yesterday so I assumed it was working. When I then tried to download some more updates the problem was there again. Any ideas why this is happening?
I am running Cronos 2.1.3
I had the same problem yesterday. Rebooting the phone did nothing. However, I saw a post that said switching on airplane mode and then disabling it might work. Fortunately, it did. Hope it does for you.
o thought it was jsut me. Although the problem fixed itself after a reboot, and is fine now.
Running VillainROM 10.3.
I thought it had somethign to do with my phones low storage.
Android Marketplace
Is anyone still having problems downloading today?
I've just got back Hero back after HTC fixed the screen so I'm looking to reinstall all my apps - however nothing will download at all. I've tried WiFi, 3G, rebooting the phone, switching airplane mode on/off, logging in & out of googletalk & also hard resetting.
Still all I get is "starting download" and nothing else.
I can't see of anything else to try.

Thanks. Seems to have worked. I found that I had to leave airplane mode on for a while before turning off. If I turn it off and then straight back on doesn't seem to work
This is now getting stranger and stranger.
I left the phone overnight and awoke to find that about half a dozen apps that I'd previously downloaded (they show in my download list but not currently installed as the phones been wiped) had actually downloaded and installed without any problems at all.
The other half dozen or so apps haven't downloaded yet. And the ones that I actually told it to download also haven't.
I've left the phone for another 6-7 hours this morning while I was out .... and still nothing has downloaded. I've got 2 things that say "starting download" and that's it.
Yeah - I'm back to having the problem again. I'll try turning airplane mode on for a while. This is really strange. I wonder if we have not installed the same application (or an update) that caused this. I think most recently I installed the latest Evernote. Did you happen to do that as well?

As far as i know IT is a market Problem. Some have it, other Not. Two friends have the same problem, one with a g1 and the other with a legend. Google says it could take time till tomorrow.

In a post in this thread http://android.modaco.com/content/t-mobile-pulse-pulse-modaco-com/315840/android-market-resolved/ someone claims that this is the fix:
Turns out google have screwed up some (if not all) UK accounts with the switch to GMail.
The fix is simple. Change your account from @googlemail to @gmail, wait an hour (recommend 2) then factory reset your phone, sign into your google account (@gmail) and your good to go
You can change your account from @googlemail to @gmail in the GMail setting (On a desktop computer not a phone) The option is in tiny writing

I was having the market problem from Thursday to Sunday last week, changing my Google account to @gmail.com and doing a factory reset (I didn't read anything about the 2 hour wait, so skipped that step) fixed it for me. The other potential fixes I read about like opening GTalk, turning Airplane mode on and off did nothing for me.
I had the same problem. I tried wiping cache from recovery and applications menu. In the end I juts re-flashed after a Titanium backup which solved the issue. I was running VillainROM 12
I have changed my email from @googlemail to @gmail, done a factory reset and the market seems to be working. A PITA: thanks Google
Yeah - I've got a U.K. googlemail address. I was a little hesitant to switch from googlemail to gmail because I thought people had a lot of problems with that. Do your paid apps get transferred?

I had the same problem. Changing my email from [email protected] to [email protected] in google account settings fixed it.

By factory reset, do you mean a full wipe? So I'd have to install all my apps again?
Sorry for being a bit thick but if I'm going to do a wipe, may as well change the ROM again
Yup. Full wipe
I have a Canadian Rogers Galaxy Note 3 (SM-N900W8) running the latest software update (as of last night).
Any time I dial someone's number, there is a full 10 to 15 seconds delay/lag before the phone 'reacts' and starts to actually make the call. This lag/delay happens regardless if I am:
using speed dial (though it is especially obvious then)
manually dialling a number
sliding to the right on a person's contact (quick dial)
pressing and holding on a contact's number to dial
I've tried adjusting the Google Sync settings, turning on/off the "Sync People details" as well as my Samsung account's "Sync contacts". I've disabled Facebook/Linked In "Sync Contacts", based on my theory that there was some sort of hiccup being caused by these apps' attempts to pull data on the contact immediately upon me placing the call.
The other issue is that Contact photos/names are also severely delayed when receiving an incoming call, for example when my phone starts ringing, all that I can see is their phone number at the top of the screen (almost as if it's the 'raw' cellular data), and not their name or picture (as normally would immediately appear on say my Galaxy S 3).
I've searched all over but have yet to see this issue pop up. This seems really strange. Any ideas or solutions?? Thanks!
Edit: I tried a second battery pull and hard restart and this seems to have fixed the issue for now. Weird!
If it's any consolation, it's not just your Rogers Note 3. I'm having the same issue with the Note 3 made for T-Mobile USA. I'm going to try the battery pull like you suggested and see if that resolves the issue, as well as some alternate dialers. I'll post my luck once I've tried this.

I have found this problem (delay dialing) for 2 weeks.
When I connect to internet, by wifi or mobile data, it is corrected. But whenever the internet connection is disconnected , it apears.
I'm disappointed from Note 3 because of lots of bugs that has got especially after update to kitkat
-delay dialing
-not working any auto call recording app.
-not working properly it's sensors.
And etc
Same bug here. 4.2.1. Phone was fine, never used to do it. randomly started doing this around the same time as I started getting multiple duplicate sms messages. Dialing delay goes away when wifi is on.
Very annoying. I'm open to suggestions!

At least 150MB of phone memory should be free..
Else, it'll lag..
I removed a few apps and now am having 200MB of free space on my Phone Memory (internal), and there are no lags..
Phone is running smooth..

Thanks for your reply! I have 1.1gb RAM free pretty much all the time, 1.18GB ROM free, and 20.99GB internal SD free.
Not sure this is the problem.
I got the same problem and i realized after i read this post that it doesnt happen if im connected with wifi. There should be a way to fix this, its a 500euro phone there shouldnt be such problems...
Had the same problem with a Samsung Relay, after a few updates. Had a chat with Samsung, after a hard cache clearing left me with the option to factory reset. Which I'm not very interested in. Uninstalled a lot of applications, then by chance connected to the wifi and sent an email. After that, it seems to be working now.
Didn't fix the problem for more than a few hours. Actually I believe hooking on wi-fi did it, because I connecting again this morning solved the problem again.
I installed a firewall and denied permission for all apps, let's see if this works...
No, the firewall doesn't work.
After connecting on wireless it works for about 3-4 hours. Then again bull**** happens. Don't know why, but this relation is interesting. There is no actual traffic sent form the device, since the firewall blocks a lot of the system bull**** apps from communicating, but after enabling it it works.
I see that enabling wireless even for a short while (3sec) is enough to get it back on track. Why might this be so?...
Prey
Factory reset, reinstall everything, then encryption. 4 hours. Tested during the procedure to see if it dials fast. It dialed, until the end, when it started to have the same problem again.
Then I got the wonderful idea from above to check if there is something wrong with Prey. A software to block your phone if it's stolen. And guess what, as long as it's not connected to the Internet, it hangs and won't open. Maybe this was creating the problem? Don't know, but for now I uninstalled it and it seems to be working. I remember it did an update before the problem occurred, maybe the update is the problem? Will write again if the problems persists.

So yesterday I installed Cyanogenmod incorrectly and was freaking out. I was able to somehow get into ODIN mode and and flash a stock OS. But now it's bringing me to the Verizon Setup Wizard... It goes all the way to the activating screen, craps out and ask's me to either use wi-fi or shut off my phone. The phone was obviously already activated months ago. So after rebooting I click on the wi-fi only button and it brings me to E-Mail setup. After I clicked skip it kept bringing me back to E-Mail setup. I tried clicking and holding and nothing worked. Thing is, I think my old data is still on the phone because not only did it automagically connect to my home network, it displayed all of my other saved networks. So idk what to do at this point and I'm hoping someone can help. I don't know if some may have seen my other cry's for help with different issues these past 3 days but thanks to all of you again if you happen to be reading.
