I need some help, every single time I receive a phone call while my phone is locked, the first half of the ring is just a black screen and vibrating, regardless if the sound is on or not, the second half of the ring shows the picture for a second and during that second it starts playing the default ringtone, even though I have my contacts programmed with their own ringtone. Also, when I try to answer the call I am never successful and I miss the call every time. However, when the phone is not locked I receive my phone calls exactly as I should. The ringer that is programmed to each contact is played, it shows the picture right away. Can anyone help me? Please.

HELP
I have the same problem. The phone rings, and I cant pick up the call. End up with lots of missed calls
I have so far reset to factory defaults a couple of times, and the only app I have installed is Linda File Manager from the Market.
My G1 has a RC9 stock from TMo and I am using it with a Vodafone sim..
Can someone please help?
thanks

Hmmmm
I don't know what causes it...I think that we all are experiencing it. It hasn't happened all that much since I installed Lock 2.0 and had it shut off the system lock.
well that may be true, however ive factory reset several times since installing lock 2.0 and i still have this problem
YA that happens to me sometimes to
So with this bug is your phone rooted or not. The reason I ask is because mine is and it happens to me all the time I've reflashed to rc29 and done the process over again and I was planing on just going to stock rc33 but if its an issuse with both I don't want to
Happens to me too ... I'm rooted RC9.
Was happening to me until I did a wipe. I, too, am rooted.
Same thing here, rooted RC33 JF1.42. The first thing I suspected was any/all of the alternative home apps. I haven't seen tested any of them enough, nor the default Home app, so I can't lay blame yet. I suppose it could be the rooted firmware, but I'm more suspicious of these alternate home apps first.
I have the stock rc33
I had problems where it wouldn't recognize indivial ringtones for contacts until I removed weatherbug.
:S
I cant believe this is happening.
I will most likely sell this phone then, as I dont have any use for a phone that I cant pick up phone calls with!
In the meantime my phone bill is sky rocketing as I have to call everyone back.
I simply cant justify spending so much for a phone that.. well.. doesnt work.
I thought Android was finally what I wanted in a phone OS, but obviously is NOT. Will have to go back to reliable WinMo :S
Yea my phone is havin that same problem and it's rooted too... but my friend has one thats not rooted and hers does the same thing so i dont think it has anythin to do with the phone bein modded...
not rooted

mine is not rooted, and it does that even fresh out of factory reset.
was thinking of getting the G2 but after this I m afraid I will stick it to the android.
very disappointing.
It has nothing to do with weatherbug, I've just tested it without weatherbug installed, same result, guess well just have to wait for the next update in a month or so, til then... don't lock ur phone
I have this problem TOO!!! I'm very very disappointed. I didn't seem to have this problem in the beginning but when I installed the jf1.42 rc 33 it started hapenning. Hmm I don't know. Maybe it's better to go back to stock rom and see if it works better.
Hi guys! Fahrbot Mobile would like to invite Desire users to participate in our open beta of Balanced, an app that uses USSD commands to obtain useful info like account balance, number of free sms, minutes and traffic remaining.
It then silently parses the replies into beautiful minimalistic text widgets. We need beta testers on phones we dont have at the office, so please come and check out the thread here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1006487
awesome!!!!!!!!!!
Im glad you like it! We will have some very unique functionality after the RC in the commercial version.
Hello. After the update some days ago I can't add a properly working widget to the desktop. Just have the caption and nothing more. Before the update everything was ok. Is there any detailed instruction how to use Balanced now?
You might have to add the widgets again.
As for detailed instructions, we have decided not to include them as people never read them anyway.
What exactly do you need help with?
ftgg99, I sent a pm with screenshots to explain.
Thanks, ill look into it - but its a strange error that probably has something to do with your setup, because my own Desire HD is running the app perfectly.
I am on cm6 though...
I also use Desire HD with stock firmware but rooted. My friend has the same issue and also and Desire HD with stock firmware but not rooted.
Hi, could you please send me a logcat of the error? Please follow these instructions:
What you need to do is:
1. Download aLogcat from the market
2. Run aLogcat
3. Reproduce your error in Balanced
5. Go into aLogcat and pause
6. Use the share menu to send the resulting text either to [email protected] or via PM here at XDA
Thanks!
I dii it. Sent the log from zel***@gmail.com
New update - beta extended!
Beta has been extended again, please send us some useful logs and suggestions on improving the app!
i dont know why, but it keeps draining my credit by sending hundreds of message to the person i personally do with the same content. the only way to stop it is by uninstalling it. i set it to check my balance after every outgoing phone call and message, and also every time i tap the widget. but the concept and interface is superb, would like to see this problem solved
Mate, the app doesnt send anything. USSD requests dont cost you money. Your problem is something else entirely.
Or youre a troll/ the competition...

oh believe me, im not a troll, and i can't code for ****. i searched around too, and it looks like i'm the only one having this problem. anyway, maybe you're right, the problem is something else entirely but the reason I suspected the application was the problem is because the draining started when i set the widget up and ended when i uninstalled the application. i apologize if i tainted the image of your app in any way.
Dont worry, i wasnt offended, just tired of fighting an uphill battle.
Imagine getting hundreds of crash logs from people with no root trying to use Root Call Blocker. Then they send angry emails. Finally they leave 1 star reviews.
Anyway, this should cheer you up:
Hello, since sometime ago (don't remember when, sorry) my Dialer and SMS apps stopped working.
I never did any 'crazy stuff' with my Milestone 2 - just froze some motoblur stuff with Titanium (and only the really unnecessary stuff like ESMusica, things that you know they're useless) it's rooted too, but that's it. I unfroze everything and still no go, when I try to open them I get a black screen for two seconds and then it goes back back to the home screen.
I don't remember when it happened because I've been using GO Dialer and GO SMS for a long time, so it doesn't really bother me since they work on any launcher, but... I may buy a Galaxy S2 or an Atrix and it will be kind of weird selling the phone without the native Dialer and SMS borked
Anybody went through something similar? And any solution?
Thanks a lot in advance.
maybe just do a factory reset before you sell it? had the same problem with titanium, but i couldn't even recieve any sms...
first try unfreezing all blur-sh** and then reboot it, maybe that helps!
Before you sell it, do a factory reset and flash Retail Brazil SBF.

Thanks! Good idea doing it before selling (not in a hurry because I just found out my carrier won't discount me until feb 2012 - so maybe I'll be able to get a quad core phone by then, I love my iMac and iPad but I hate the iPhone's keyboard and lack of multitasking - what made me try to freeze all the motoblur stuff was that my phone is constantly hitting 100% cpu and slowing down even with the motothings frozen and oc'ed to 1.25).
But on the unfroze+reboot thing, no luck The messaging app runs, I can click on the facebook messages, etc but when I click text messaging it goes back to the Home Screen. I deleted the app cache/data via app settings on the phone and no go.
If I do a factory reset, what will I lose? My phone apps and contacts? I can reinstall then, and my Go Launcher setup is backed up on the SD and my contacts are synced with google and the mac's address book so maybe I can benefit from it?
Thanks for your response!

Dan can you tell me or point me to how I do this sbf thing? I never flashed anything on my phone, never tried custom ROMs because of the locked bootloader. Thank you.
Search for sbf_flash (mac/linux) or RSD Lite 5.3/4.8/4.9 (windows). Those are the programs that can flash a motorola signed SBF to your phone.
For the files download:
http://and-developers.com/sbf:milestone2
For an explanation of the CGs(partitions) stored inside each SBF (see Droid X section):
http://and-developers.com/partitions:cdt
For a GB SBF get the leak in the Dev forum and the root method in the General or in the Droid 3 forum.
To flash it you need to be on bootloader mode, Power + Volume Down + Camera.
For a better explanation on how to flash it search the forum, you may find it.
Sorry, no links of the forum, I'm on mobile.
Edit: If you want a custom Rom, I only tested the MIUI and it is good, the others (not including Mostly Blurless GB) may have some crazy bugs.

Thanks a lot for the great explanation! I'll actually try it because since my phone performs very well one week and drives me crazy the next one depending on the apps I'm using, it seems like a good idea to start from scratch, I'll just look for something to manually backup my contacts before (I know google backs them up, just wanna be 100% sure I don't lose anybody lol).
Again, thanks a ton for such a detailed explanation.

Have you changed the screen density? It used to happen the exact same thing with stock SMS and Dialer in my MS2 when I did.

Yeah I never worried but... One friend I added a long time ago (including fb profile, etc) was not imported - at least not her phone number - so I'm worried now that the contacts I added manually (in her case I just added the phone number, the rest was all fb+google info) won't be 100% synced. I'll check some of the people I added manually if I can remember who they are lol.

I saw threads about that but I never changed it. I only changed the number of rows and columns in my launchers (Go and Launcher Pro) but not screen density.
Baseband Help (TIM BRAZIL)
Hello,
My Milestone 2 is no network, when I turn it appears unsigned. Saw in other forums that the problem may be the Baseband, I'm using the ROM and it came MIUI Defy Baseband Switch, tried all the bands available for Brazil, but none works. Could you help me?
I regularly have the same problem with my dialer app.
It is not that it stops working but after a few days of collecting calls it crashes when I dial certain numbers, for example 420 which is one of the most common number starts for me, the app crashes immediately.
If I clear the stats for the recent calls -in and out- the app doesn't crash but it will crash if I try to see the number matches for that 420 that I dialed.
I hope I'm making myself clear.
I think it is a bug in the app because I don't use titanium to disable anything related to the dialer or contacts or search or anything that has influence over the dialer app.
If anyone has an idea as to why this happens please let me know.
Martin.-

Hi everyone,
I've got an ATT I337 running the awesome Hyperdrive ROM version 17.1. Several of us --but clearly not all of us!-- over in that thread have noticed a problem with incoming calls. I think there's a setting somewhere that can fix it, so I'm opening it to a wider audience by posting it here, in hopes someone from this group will know what to tweak.
Here's the specific problem.
If my cell phone receives a call from a known contact "Bob" and Bob's contact info (being a U.S. phone number) is 317-555-1212, so far the phone seems to recognize the call as coming from Bob. However, it reports it as coming from +317-555-1212. When I go into the call log and try to return the call, it dials +317-555-1212, and the extra + causes the system to interpret it as an international call attempt, and the call fails. Cannot be completed as dialed, the message says. If it's an non-contact number, the + is still added. IT's not JUST for contacts.
Let's say Bob leaves a message. The voicemail indicator shows and it says offers to dial *86, the correct access code for voice mail for ATT as I understand it. However, tapping that actually dialed +11 then my ten digit phone number. Call fails.
At the dialpad, pressing and holding 1 to invoke voicemail has the same problem.
In Contacts, contacts are NOT listed with +s, and clicking the call button for them makes them dial OK without a + being prepended.
So, this looks like some international feature is being enabled that I'm not sure how to turn off. Does anyone have any idea how to turn this off? Sorta puts a crimp in the basic phone functionality. Seriously, who actually calls anyone these days? But it would be good to fix.
Please, if anyone has an idea of what might be at the root of this, I would appreciate your help!

I am confused. Does this only happen on the Hyper rom or all roms for you.
Not sure how anyone else does their contacts. But, I always enter numbers as 1-555-555-5555 even if local.
My voicemail number is set as +15555555555
I never had issues--
I remember some talk of that on Hyper awhile back. But, never paid attention--
Only happens on Hyperdrive. Or at least, I can say I never saw it on stock. Hyper is the only ROM I've actually gotten so far as to run while SIM card is inserted. :good:
My contacts are almost all US based and are just ten digits, no leading 1. I did try editing the contact to my work cell phone by adding a 1 to it, and calling my S4 phone. It still was registered as +317-555-1212 format and return call didn't work.
So, it's not really about the way the contacts are stored, more about how the phone interprets incoming calls.
Try the 1+ and see what happens. Just do a few of your most used numbers to start--
Can you put a different dialer on phone and see

Just edited above, adding 1 to the way contacts are stored doesn't change the behavior. I can certainly try a different dialer and see what happens, but it seems to be based on how incoming calls are interpreted. I'm guessing there's a build.prop item or somesuch that needs a-tweaking.
Marc
so you changed the contact number to 1-555-555-5555 with hyphens
i ran hyper for quite a bit awhile back never any issues. of course could be something new--
i am not thinking rom or a lot more would have issue--
I did some tests.
On the phone in question, I edited the google contact for a test phone number. I then called the phone from that tested phone number.
It didn't matter whether the contact was saved in the formats:
317-555-1212
1-317-555-1212
+1-317-555-1212
+317-555-1212
In all cases, the incoming call was recognized as +317-555-1212, which isn't a valid call-back number, and return calls failed. Since this only happened when I put a custom ROM on, I'm sure it's something buried inside the ROM. However, I'm at a loss as to where to check various settings.
Gotta be something deep in there...
If all else fails you can Odin back to stock, reformat your internal card and reroot.
Under Phone Settings/Additional Settings/My Phone Number--is it in format 15555555555
Also, and I don't know where to check, your country code may not be set. I don't know if we even have that setting anymore or would it be in Build Prop.
Probably under ro.something

Interesting thought. I had gone into the dialer settings, and checked the Current Country... it listed United States of America. Then I stopped. But looking further it turns out that in the Assisted Dialing settings just below that, there might be stuff that matters. Currently my assisted dialing is OFF. The settings inside are:
Country code: 1
IDD prefix: 011
NDD prefix 1
City/area code: 131
National number length: 11
The area code probably doesn't matter, but I'm interested in the national number length. Ours tend to be 10. Could you please see what your settings are in there, and let me know if anything is different?
I can always backup (ug, safestrap backup), return to stock, poke around, re-root/restore. But if you could take a quick peek I'd be grateful.
Thank you!
Marc
I tried an alternative dialer... it acted just like the stock with the + thing.
I am on a rom that doesn't have those settings--sorry
Thanks anyway! I experimented changing the last setting to 10, and enabling assisted dialing, and it didn't change anything. Sigh.
Ok, you can still go back to stock with Odin. Or, try one of iB's roms they are very good too, I use them almost exclusively now--
Good Luck--:good:
Yeah. I've been back to stock a couple times with Odin. I've got the process down pat! I prefer the hyperdrive rom if I can work through the few small warts. It's just such an elegantly crafted piece of work. Worth the effort, if I eventually sort out the call issue. Appreciate your help.

Same issue here i can not dial voicemail and can not call a number back without typing the number in manually. Deal breaker for me hope it gets fixed soon so i can go back to Hyperdrive. Or somebody comes up with some sort of fix.

Do we know anymore info on this? After rooting the s7 (at&t) everything was fine, accept sending texts through messeges failed. Then this notification came up, I could not remove it from notifications. I did a restart and got stuck in boot loop and had to factory reset. Now, I haven't finished root yet, but still on same rom and this has popped up again.

i got the stupid devil faced notification too. its also from com.sec.vsimservice . I never had this before but it seems ever since i started using Digits from t-mobile.
I cannot remove it for the life of me and it doesnt matter what rom i am on. I tried clearing cache and data and also blocking notifications but i can still see it when i pull down the notifications. I get it right after i send a chat message using default samsung chat app. BTW im on the note 5 t-mobile.
EDIT: i found out that vsimservice stands for virtual sim service. Well it must be freaken t-mobile Digits beta program... =/ so annoying.
I started getting the devil notification after root on stock every time I get a voicemail. I can clear it like any other notification, it's just annoying.

Mike the file nerd
I'm far from an expert at this but I could tell you how to avoid the problem in the future. I assume that if you have access to directories that contain system preconfig apps you must be running root privilege. Follow down the path to you're particular carrier. In my case I'm technically running on unlocked carrier but for the most part my phone still believes it is AIO(Cricket) ie boot still runs cricket sales code still runs as AIO. ECT. so in my example the file path would be /system/omc/AIO/etc. Inside your carriers file you will find several manifest (.xml) and text (.txt) files somthing along the lines of default_application_order.xml and/or enforcedskippingpackages.txt In my case on my s8 I have both. I haven't personally tried this yet so don't blame me if you try it and turn you phone into an 800$ paperweight (disclaimer) not to mention tampering xml is slightly outside of ethical phone use! That being said I'm of the opinion at least in my own case; if I pay for a device and don't have a contract against it i.e. I outright own the device I may set it up as i please. (Disclaimer) So ethics behind us. If I were to be experiencing this problem I would start by adding the problem pkg (...vsim...apk) whatever yours is called to the enforcedskipping.txt first (as it's slightly less unethical to change a text than a manifest) second find the system app either by an app like sysapp remover or like a real man inside the file system under probably something along the lines of "priv-app" dir or by superuser enabled terminals either abd via your computer/mac/linux whatever you run or by one of the many available terminals in the store of your choice and uninstall your problem apps (i highly suggest making a complete nandroid backup or tar or whatever recovery you use first and also saving a copy of the apk just in case) reboot your phone to recovery clear your cache partition remount the system and reboot. If this hasn't cleared up your problem back to recovery for a factory wipe with said modified files in place and backup ready. Reinstall everything then restore your backup via cmw/twrp/safestrap/bootstrap/odin/lgbridge/etc.etcetc whatever your preferred recovery method is your problem should be fixed. If still not mod the xml instead of the txt and restart from step one. Once again I do not know what dependency/gradles/etc may or may not depend on this what functions you may kill sim cards locked/ruined etc and I'm no professional so if you brick☠??? your ??that's on you for listening to an amateur enthusiast. Now I'm sure one of our wonderful experts here will come along and correct everything I've just said but I'm ok with this I listen to these guys every day I wouldn't know a fraction of the things I do without this wonderful forum and these amazing devs. So I appreciate their criticism as tutoring.

With all that said and out of the way I would like to hear from anyone who has tried this personally or other method for removing this as I myself was led to this particular thread because I was investigating the possibility of what I could change within this particular system app myself. I brick my phone phone twice a day usually so before I crash my very well set up system I usually investigate first the reciprocation/ramifications of adjusting system orientated files/apps.
