So, after using the Edge for a few days I have decided to send it back; I have been experiencing several issues with mine that I really can't explain.
1) When I hang up the speaker randomly activates
2) When on a call the phone has started dropping voice calls
3) When on a call static comes through very frequent almost like it is trying to switch to another frequency.​When added to the fact that if you call T-mobile for replacement they want you to pay a deposit for the device in order to receive the replacement not really worth the headache. So I will return and then possibly re-order again.

My phone with no change and with every rom is now doing the following.
1. Instead of alarm going off, it calls back the person that last called me at the time the alarm was sapposed to have gone off... sometimes.
2. Calls last call dialed at random often. No specific time of day or number, it just picks a recently dialed or call recieved number, and calls it.
3. Not sure if it's my cheek, but it looooves to put calls on hold as soon as i anwer or in the begening of the call.
4. Any slight touch or fast movement or large breeze over the bottom buttons (mostly noticed on the 4 way) it will call a person.
5. It can never find a 3g network and wants to know if I would like to make a voice cal instead. That's on any call that's not on my sbp favorites.
I know the answer to many other questions, but these are the ones that concern me most that just started out of the blue and i can't find anything other than the mention of one person here saying his phone calls his wife in the middle of the night. I feel the pain.
Any ideas? thinking of going iphone 2.0. Got most the stuff i use and it's stable. But i LOVE the qwerty and would really rather keep this hermes.
Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks everyone,
Joe
oh yeah, and the alarm clock, birthdays, and appts change days and times then go back to the correct times and days. Does this about once a day.
Thanks,

My guess is a switch on the D/pad is not releasing correctly/fully and is causing an intermittent contact at the slightest movement or sound. I think you guessed that already.
So anyway - to rule out a software fault you could backup and do a hard reset and test before restoring the backup.
If that fails - assume a hardware fault.
Possible things to check - would require dismantling.
remove the d/pad. Cgeck the buttons for visible movement/any sign of poor contact and release.
If all appears fine then re-assembly will automatically have caused the d/pad connector to be re-seated (another possible cause of the issue - loose connection).
If the problem remains, my best guess for a fix would be d/pad board replacement.

Thanks to a Turkey Day special, I got my new Samsung Galaxy S5 free and have been enjoying it immensely. However, about a week ago, I started to have a problem making/receiving calls. The volume on calls (speakerphone & earpiece) was so low it was almost inaudible. Lowering/raising volume and even adding extra volume feature on calls failed to make the call any louder. The only thing that works is rebooting the phone. I am running the latest NI2 update and want to know if anyone else has this problem. Is it a bad phone? Do I need to replace it?
Also, for some reason I can't send/receive text messages to one contact on my contact list, wondering if it's a problem on my end or his.
Hello friends! I really hope someone can help me with this issue. My mother has my old Samsung Note 3. For the last couple of weeks anytime she gets a text message the message notification tone plays but so does her incoming call ringtone. On top of that, the call ringtone won't stop playing. We can put the phone on silent but the ringtone won't actually stop until she restarts the phone.
A little background: I had the phone maybe a year before the note 4 came out and I immediately upgraded so she's had the phone I guess maybe two years. My phone was on Verizon. My mom has T-Mobile prepaid service. We've never had any problems until this. Well because she has prepaid she uses a Wi-Fi texting app called TextPlus or something like that. Again never any problems until a couple weeks ago. I asked her if she updated anything, I've checked all of her settings in the phone and the app. I even set the call ringtone to silent and sent a text and it still did it. It's not so much the ringtone as it is that it won't stop. We've even left it sitting for over an hour and it was still ringing.
What can I do to try to fix this? Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!!
Hello all,
I have had the Zenfone 3 Deluxe (5.7" model ZS-570KL) for a few weeks now. I really like the phone and it is a big upgrade from my previous Galaxy S4. I have an issue which I would like to ask any ZS-570KL owners to try to replicate.
When the phone is held at a certain angle, the microphone automatically mutes or it just stops working.
For example, when I am in the middle of a conversation and I have to use both hands to carry groceries or whatever, I will rest my phone on my shoulder, then press it against my ear to continue my conversation. Whenever I do that, the other party cannot hear my voice. As soon as I adjust the phone position, the other party can hear me just fine.
I purchased my phone through Best Buy and I have received a replacement from them because I thought I had a defective phone. However, the replacement phone I received has the same problem.
I appreciate your input.
I'm on Verizon and recently switched from a M8 to this phone (just swapped my SIM over) and have noticed that cell reception has been an issue. This was a brand new unit and otherwise seems to work perfectly, but I've had numerous calls drop mid call, or I'll lose audio in one direction in the middle of a call. It's terrible in the car, to the point that I've had to pull over and stay in one spot to actually speak to someone (I'm using a headset while in the car, but I've also had the issue when using just the handset). I'm still on stock 7.1.2, but I noticed that today was particularly bad. I'd rather not switch back to the M8, but not being able to stay on a call w/o audio dropping out is an issue.
