Phone hangs sporadic after calls (2.2 only)

Hey dear devs,
so ive got a little problem. Im a flashjunkie and tried all the different firmwares. All eclair firmwares JM1/3/5/8/9 went fine for me and i had no problems, but since the first froyo (JPC) ive tested, ive got a little problem with froyo.
First some things about me and my phone. I live in germany, my provider is o2, and i also bought a brandet o2-phone. The first day i got it, i flashed to JM5 and unbrandet it, but now to my problem:
My phone hangs somtimes and very sporadic (1-2 times a week) normally after longer calls >10 minutes.
But let me explain a little deeper. It first appears with JPC (my first froyo).
Im doing a longer call and when i finish i take the phone of my ear and have a look an the display to end the call. But i cant click the hangup button. The green listener symbol in the upper left corner is there and blinking. The only thing i can do is to press the menu-button to get back to my homescreen. All is working fine then, but i cant do or recieve any calls because the upper-left green listener symbol is still there and blinking.
When i try to go to flightmode the phone normally hangs completely, only a reboot is fixing the problem. I also had the prob one time within a call. I was on the phone and suddenly my partner was gone.. i didnt hear anything and he also didnt hear anything. Same symptoms: green listener symbol blinking, and when trying to switch to flight mode, the phone crashes. Only reboot is working.
This problem appears in ALL froyo firmwares i tested (JPC, JPK, JPM, JPO), and yes a wiped, i cleared all caches, i reflashed all the firmwares, flashed with kies, flashed with odin (with and without repartition). So i did all the stuff we all used to do to get this problem fixed...
I first thought it was a failure of the beta-firwares, but also the JPO has the problem. There is one thing that might have to do with it... I live a little bit outside of the town and in my house i have a low signal. The problem appears in 9 of 10 cases in the house until now. That might be bad luck, because its very sporadic, and normally i do longer calls only when im at home... But it may also be part of the problem, perhaps because my phone wants to change the to another umts-provider, that has a better signal?
I also thougt that it may be a sim-problem, because my sim is about 5 years old. But i ordered a brandnew sim from o2 and yesterday i had the failure again. It only appears after or right in the call.
Has anyone experienced same problems? Or can help me find out what problem i have?
Thx for all answers
Cheers, Donald!

hi!
yes, i can second that! i have exactly the same problem with my o2-germany-provided SGS, even though I unbranded it by applying the scandinavian froyo-beta via registry hack. So far I did not find any solution. Sometimes this even happens during rahter short calls of 10-15 min. Too bad

Yes i can confirm the Problem. I'm with O2 Germany too. First I thought it is a Problem with both party's hanging up the same time. But I couldn't reproduce the problem at will...

So, the only thing, we can do at the moment is to wait for official o2 brandet firmware. Does anyone know when it will be released?
Greetz DN

Until now i haven't heard about a release date...

also on jf3!!!
i've got the same problem! but i had this bug already on stock eclair jf3!
so i updated via kies to official jpo ( i also tried jpc, jpm, jp6) and my phone still hangs sometimes. is it possible thats just a strange behavior on sgs with o2 germany?
or is there anybody else (other country or carrier) getting the same issues?
i get this bug every third call (when calling longer than 30 minutes)
....

hmm.. perhaps we found something that causes this o2-bug... There is a discussion in the german forum android-hilfe and there is mentioned that the homezone-indicator signal might be the failure, that you might have enabled.
So what about you? Have you also enabled this feature?

Today i called the O2 hot line and they told me that O2 did not receive the Froyo update from Samsung yet. So they haven't had a chance to test the Froyo release. That mens we have to wait for Samsung to give the update to German carryers for testing. I mean if they encounter the problem too they will fix it since it is a real annoying bug.

Look also at this boards and threads about the same issue:
ht_tp_: / /_ww w._ handy-faq._ de/forum/ samsung_i9000_galaxy_s_forum /174359-probleme_empfang.html (german, translate. google. de may help )
ht_tp_:_//_forum._o2online._de/t5/ Handys-und-Zubeh%C3%B6r/ Galaxy-S-Froyo-o2-WCDMA-massive-Probleme/ m-p/58562#M7640
(remove spaces between first parts of the links, as - unfortunately - I'm not allowed to post links cause of my "newbie" status )
I've got the same issues (hang after/while phonecall, aborted call, no net service and so on..)

Same problem here!
BUT mine locks up every 30 Minutes!
And I use drei.at (Austrian Provider) NOT O2.
So it seems, that its not a specific Problem within O2 only
Andy

happened to me once...but SGS unbranded with O2 sim...

Hey,
i have the same prob. When the phone lies all the night and some1 wants to call me at the next morning i'm not reachable. every morning. 100%
now i installed the i9000xxjm3 modem. lets see if it fix the prob;-)

Hi,
there is finally news on that.
O2 meanwhile confirmed the issue to be connected to the homezone display in the Froyo firmwares.
They propose a solution where they delete the homezone data from the SIM card without affecting the homezone functionality as such. Just the homezone icon will not be displayed anymore.
So the assumption it has something to do with the O2 homezone became true.
Here is the thread (sorry, its German) in the official O2 forum:
http://forum.o2online.de/t5/Geräte-...-o2-WCDMA-massive-Probleme/td-p/45714/page/27
I just wonder if some clever developer here could even remove the homezone icon functionality out of the firmware. I somehow do not trust O2 to come up with their solution quickly enough...
Thanks
Andi

S8 Call drop then no service - Randomly

Hi Guys
In the UAE and got a sparkling s8, but for 4 days now once a day, while on a call the call drops, signal indicator shows no service and then comes back. Problem is after this happens i am not able to make or receive calls as the other party cant here me. The phone needs to restarted and then works normally.
Has any one else experienced this. I had a chat to Sammy support and all they want to do is to change the SIM. I dont find this acceptable. Has anyone else had similar problem or do you know of any radio updates that could be applied.
thanks
Stiaan

Ican confirm that, it's happened with me exactly the same.
I am in uae using Etisalat in both sims.
Hope samsung solve it in next update, it's annoying.

I am using it in Australia, didn't had any issue at in past 3 days. I got my phone from 24th April. It could be your carrier issue as 2 reports are from UAE only. Who is your carrier provider?

I am also using etisalat.

Any one facing this issue in defiant carrier!

I think i figure out what coz the problem.
I am using app called "dual sim selector" pro version when I disable it all are ok.. Really strange i use this app in other phone with no problem. @stiaandxb are you using this app or similar?

I am in UAE on etisalat and facing the exact same issue with the new galaxy S8. Just hoping that it get solved by some software update.

Sound/Audio problem
I am also facing similar audio problem in Germany on O2. Sometimes when i call somebody and he picks the call. The audio totally disappears. I can't hear him and he can't hear me. After that all sounds from the mobile stops workings. No audio from Music player or videos comes out. If somebody calls me, no ringtone is played neither vibration works. Only system vibration works during SMS reception.
It seems like phone app somehow blocks all the sounds.
The behavior is random. It happens once a day on some call. The only solution to resolve this situation is by restarting the phone.

I got this exactly on my S8 in Bahrain, VIVA, then replaced with S8+ it is even worse than that.

I am from Egypt and face the same problem, call drops then no sound whatsoever until i restart my phone , S8+ dual sim (etisalat + vodafone)

Did anyone find a solution for this? I have the same issue. Galaxy S8+ in Cyprus/Vodafone? Happens every day and the phone needs restart for sounds to come back to life.

Same issue here in IndiaS8+ ( Vodafone +Jio). Tried resetting also. Then happened again once a week ago. Also note that when this happens phone stops behaving like crazy. Can't play video, audio or even network goes down. Both speakers can't play audio(for calls too)
Secondly, when switching the sim for mobile data ( say sim 1 to sim 2) the network goes down and never comes up until you switch back to the old settings of mobile data.
After restart phone behaves normally with proper audio through both the speakers.
Lastly, yesterday while playing asphalt 8, the phone( game) was lagging. There were many frame drops and stutters also the phone was working like it has onlh 512 mb ram. And then suddenly it got freezed with black screen. I had to force restart it by pressing power+Bixby key.
Let me know if anyone find solution for these.

No solution found until now. Talked to Samsung Germany, they asked for factory reset and safe mode. Nothing worked.

Regarding game lagging issue, may be it can be resolved in Game Launcher by setting performance to "High performance" in the right bottom of Game Launcher.

We haven't yet got AQF7 for galaxy S8 in Germany. I have narrowed down the problem to some conditions. May be you can try this to try reproducing the problem. S8 or S8+ must be connected to GSM network in 3G mode, and the other phone must also be connected in 3G mode. Now call from S8/+ to other phone and put the mobile to your ear so that the screen is off (because of proximity sensor) while the bell is ringing. Now pick the call from other phone. Normally in first 2 seconds of call, phone goes to silent mode. Phone goes in silent mode in 5 to 10 calls and then you have to restart.

i will try to do that but please note that the phone was having this issue since day one. no matter what i had. 3G or 4G. Usually it was happening after 3-4 minutes or if i was in a low signal area or driving.
I tested with the update and my issue is gone so far with a lot of testing with calls more than 20 minutes straight
The good thing is that is seems now that this is not a hardware but software issue.

It never happened on my S8 in 2G or 4G. It always happened in the beginning of the call and never appeared once a call has successfully passed first five seconds. But once it appeared, the only solution is to restart. I am unable to find any other solution until now.

I was using the phone on auto 2G/3G/4G and it was always happening.
I tried 4G only and i had the same issue.
I tried 2G/3G and i had the same issue.
Now with the update i am always on auto again and issue is gone since last Wednesday.
Another thing we discovered is that in Cyprus everyone who had the S8+ and the carrier was Vodafone had this issue. Everyone who was with MTN did not.

Hi to all,
I saw that today a firmware was released for S8 also and in Germany. Firmware is the same as S8+ G950FXXU1AQF7

Yes, a firmware is available for Germany (Vodafone). My S8 is carrier independent and i don't want to write it using odin. I will wait for the OTA update.

Random restart while ending calls?

I was calling my friend and he put me on hold by mistake. I didn't know this, and checked the phone to see if the call was disconnected.
I was surprized to see that my phone rebooted. This has happened 3 times now, and all while trying to disconnect calls. I've attended a lot of calls, but it doesn't happen always.
Anyone else having this issue? I didn't have this issue when I had Nougat on the device.

Same issue here. You might have noticed that it happens most of the time when you press power key while call is ending.
Since last two days no issue like that before 5-10 times. Device reboots in 1-2 seconds so i ignored it.:laugh: call me lazy.

Totally true! I meant realistically it takes less than 20 seconds, which is quite fast. My Redmi 2s still needs some time to get up and running, but Mi A1 is fast in this regard. And so is Redmi Note 4 (my roommate has it).

Same problem occuring on my Mi A1

Same for me.

Same issue but no solution..

Guys any solution for it ? I m facing the same problem and this is happening after i updated to Oreo

Same for me guys. tried everything, not even latest patch (Feb) solved it. What about you?

Same the latest update haven't solved it so I have just downgraded to the 7.1.2

I have been facing the same issue for past 3 weeks. Don't know the reason nor the solution.!
Also, if you notice, the call during which the phone restarts, is never logged in the last dialed or received calls

This is either a kernel bug which affects certain phones or a hardware bug. If you can reproduce it after factory resetting your phone, not installing any additional apps and using another cellular operator, then it's certainly a hardware bug. In this case you might want to replace/RMA your device.

The problem seems to be related to the proximity sensor. The smartphone also reboot in whatsapp calls.

Yes the problem is with the proximity sensor even the March update haven't solved it.

I can confirm this issue. Tho im not sure if it started this or last patch

Same issue here. For me it happens when the other person ends the call or when I make the call or during the call itself.

I have had this issue. I clean flashed the whole phone with wiping the partition too. And it's solved now for me.

Factory S8 not able to send receive calls

I have searched everywhere and tried every connection fix I could think to try but I cannot find the answer. Short of buying a new phone, I am running out of hope.
My international S8 on T-Mobile has up until now given me zero issues. The last month it has been acting up though. It is almost always unwilling to send phone calls and when it works the connection beep takes like 10-15 seconds before it works.. on the other end, people who call me say my phone goes straight to voicemail.
I have manually input connection settings. I full unrooted and clean installed factory firmware and I made sure it was not something as simple as being in 'do not disturb' mode. I am out of ideas and need your help. Thank you in advance anyone who may have some ideas!!!

I had the same issue.
Go to phone dialer and dial *#0011#.
when the screen comes up look to see if it says MIPI_Fail or something to that effect.
If it does then your radio is bad. This is a hardware problem. I had to send mine to the service center and they replaced the MB.
Good Luck

How you guys got in this in first place?

After update to Oreo phone showed no connection. Tried all the usual fixes and still had an X in signal bars.
I figured the dialer still worked the same as my Note 3 so I gave it a shot. It worked and went into service mode. That is where it said MIPI-Fail. Googled it and found out that means the radio is bad. Off to Samsung it went.:good:
