Hello everyone,
I have a S5 Verizon version and it has been rooted, I am not rooted atm tho, and all the sudden over the past few days I noticed that the add call button on the dialer has been replaced with a record button. I don't need to record anything so it won't be used, but any reason that might be showing up now? I did have Wanam, but never turned on the recording or anything like that. Again, I don't need to record calls, but I just don't want it showing there. I even un rooted, then factory reset and it still shows the button there. Any reasons why?
Thanks everyone!

i rooted my g1 a while ago...but lately my phone has been buggy like when i try to answer my phone when someone is calling, the caller id doesnt show up and when i press the talk button i have to press it multiple times before it finally answers. also when i try to change my notification tone whenever i get to the change screen my phone says to force close. any one else experiencing these problems after rooting your phone? is there anything that can be done?
I've experienced some problems with my phone. I found it was primarly because I was using too many applications that ran as services (launchpad, weatherbug, power manager, missed call, etc, etc.) I actually got sick of it and wiped the phone. Since then I only have Weatherbug running as a service and things are much better.
I have had the same problems with answering the phone. I have to press the button multiple times and even then sometimes it never answers. I see the caller ID however.
I think its a software bug... Its really annoying if someone calls me and I cant accept the call My ringtone just keeps ringing and I just can stupidly look on the screen without answering :S I push the green "answer" button but the call doesnt accept. I neither can use the red "ignore" button. This problem gets solved with a reset but happends again after a short time.
Is there any solution for this´? Is there any possibility to accept the call trough the touchscreen?
Please help me I am really desperate!!!
Thanks in advanche.
Uhhmm.....i guess you know that you have to 'slide' the button to the green field if you wanna answer...not 'push' the green spot.
Anyways...you can also use the (physical) buttons of the phone to answer or disconnect.
I think you missunderstood me. I actually mean the physical buttons! They arent working anykind. Normally if I press the green "dial/answer" button the dialer application appears right? But it dont! After software resetting it does again somehow for short time. And if I get a call then I press the physical button but the call doesnt accept. It just keeps ringing further. There is no chance to accept the call. And there is no option to accept the call trough the touchscreen.
Indeed, i misunderstood..sorry!!
If the buttons didn't work at all, i would be thinking of a hardware problem, but since you can solve it for a short while with a soft reset.....i'm not so sure of that.
You still have the option of a hard reset, you could give it a shot, just to be sure(Remember to back up your stuff ).
Otherwise send it in for warranty...presuming you still have it.
Thanks for the reply!
I dont think its a hardware problem because the buttons are working again somehow after a software reset. But the problem happens again some time later
Sending it to warranty is no choice since I always got trouble with my warranty!
My old touch had an software problem and couldnt boot so i send it to the warranty and they just send it me back with no repairs claiming that the warranty gets lost if I connect my device with a computer :S
Anyway i hope there is a solution without hardware resetting
Just a thought....
Did you install any locking software which locks the device fully? It may be the one preventing you from answering calls...
HTH...
No I didnt install anything kinda like that. Is there a dialer replacement I could use instead?
I have also noticed this bug on my Jade running the official 2.32 update from HTC:
When a cal is received, the phone rings but it doesn't display who is calling (the device keeps showing the home screen). This is not happening at every call, but I can't find what is causing this behaviour (it happens even after hard reset, so no additional programs running in the background).
Any ideas how to overcome this?
I have searched and then made this thread. There were some people with home button issue but None of those were related to my problem.
PHONE MODEL - GT-I9505 ( International version)
I have had my S4 for a couple of months now and I am addicted to flashing. I flash a test lot of new roms.
MY PROBLEM
When i make or I get a call, Once i pick the call and put my phone to the ear and after the proximity sensor turns off the screen i cannot use my home button or powerbutton to wake the screen during call. For example if i want to cut the call During a call. I simply cannot do it. Sometimes the home button will respond, Some times it wont
For the home button to work The other party has to cut the all only when my phone detects that the call has been disconnected it wakes up. Looks like the home button stops functioning ?
I dont know what is happening.
I thought it was the rom issue, But it isnt. I tried two different roms. Did the same behaviour.
Any advice or anything to help me will be appreciated. Is my hardware damaged?
My phone is never dropped and is very new like .
ROMS I TRIED
Wanam Lite.
Cynogenmod 10.1
same problem. any solutions?
I am having the same issue with my home button. Won't press during calls. Did you ever find a solution? Thanks!

Hey guys
I am just wondering about a problem I have found.
After the OTA update to MJ4
I found that my Canada Telus Note 3's screen does not dim (go black) when I bring my head close to talk on the phone.
It used to go black and when I move away it would turn on again.
For some reason it does not do this anymore.
Anyone have any suggestions?
Have you check under the "call settings", there is an option, "turn off screen during calls", already clicked?

Hey
Thanks for replying.
Unfortunately, It is already clicked. I checked this already.
Problem is as soon as I answer a Call OR make a call out the screen turns off automatically. I have to click the home button or power button to get the screen back on and to hit END Call.
Strange, cuz on MJ1 I never had any problems with any features on the phone. (no heat at all when playing HD youtube over LTE, Fruit ninja) and Samsung features working as they should. These OTA updates seem to just mess things up (I already did a factory reset).
I am about to give up and live with it. I will root/flash ROM's from now on. problem is there is no ROM's based on Canadian Firmwares yet. I will need to be patient.
Thanks anyways for your suggestion.
If anything else, please let me know!
Hey
I have a little touch problem with calling app. While I'm calling I can't use keypad to make selection while promoted in call........ Actually touch doesn't work at all. In order to hangup the call I have to press power button (I selected it through settings).
So I'm wondering if in some ways I can replace the default calling app?..... I'm on CM11 and it's S4 E330S
Yes probably you can. Or you can update your rom and maybe it's fixed. CM11 in an old version. The latest is CM 12.1.

You can replace the dialer and the contacts app, but the Phone app, which (I think) is actually used when making calls, cannot be easily replaced. I mean you could swap the apk with another one, but chances are it may crash. Try a different rom and see if the problem persists.
Yeah most likely I'll have to change the complete ROM......i was looking for a quick fix but it seems impossible.
A factory reset would be the next best thing if you want to avoid flashing another rom. But in both cases you will have to set up your device again. No advantage there.
