serious call waiting issue after new firmware

I think i discovered a huge issue with the new firmware. When i have a second line calling me the screen does not wake up allowing me to switch to the second call. In the past, when a second call comes in the proximity sensor would wake the screen and allow me to take or reject the call. Now i cant even see who is calling. Since i use the phone for business, this is a big, big issue. Anyone else experience this?

Can anyone please check this for me please by calling their voicemail and then dialing their own cell # from another phone please. Thanks

you're right. phone does not wake up but you can push the power button wake it up.

I tested.
When the phone beeps to tell me a have another call i take phone away from my head and proximity censor takes a little longer..like 5 sec before screen comes on.
But mine doesn't stay off like yours...tested 5 times

My screen does come on eventually about 5 seconds. Before it used to be instant. Hitting the power button doesn't wake the phone like the other user mentioned. Do u guys think a factory reset will help. I am reluctant to take the plunge cause its such a pain in the neck to reinstall everything.

I have the same issue as well. I tested 3 times and the issue existed every time. I tried to unlock the phone with power button but it wouldn't unlock it (maybe lag?) because after I pressed power button 4 times, THEN it lit up for a moment but by that time, the waiting call already ended.
I'm surprised more people aren't bothered with this serious issue.

Got the same issues, updated via ODIN, argh that's gonna be fun.

Interesting...it would be great if you guys contacted Samsung via email/other method to let them know about the issue. Hopefully they can fix this bug.

I would love to contact them, just not sure where/how. Even if they do fix it, it will only come with another bug fix OTA or Froyo whichever comes first. Given Samsung's track record, this will probably take a while. To me personally, this is an earth shaterring issue since i use the phone exclusively for business being on multiple lines often. Its so bad for me that if it isnt fixed by the time the new mytouch HD comes out, I will have to dump the vibrant even though i love it so much. Me missing calls far outweighs the "love" for this handset.
Its been a few days now since many of us have gotten the update and I am surprised so few of us have not reported this. Has anyone been able to come up with a temporary fix or a replacement dialer to alleviate the horrible issue??

its been a few days now since many of us have gotten the update and i cant believe how so few people have complained about this. It is so annoying not to see who is calling on the second line .

I just got the firmware today and I'd be willing to go back. I missed three calls today because of it. Now what do I do?

[Q] Keyboard and Calls Issues

I love my Epic. Recently I have had two problems.
My physical keyboard doesnt register every letter I type. I would say it has about a 90% accuracy. It is not a particular key that doesnt work. Anyone else having this issue? Would this be covered under the manufacturer's warranty> I dont have a Sprint warranty.
Many times when I place a call the first attempt I hear nothing and the person on the other end hears me. When I try the call again it works every time. Any ideas?
Much thanks!

the keyboard problem was discovered when the epic first cam out. There's still no fix or workaround, except that some people think disabling swype will help.
The calling problem is a software one. Are you running dk28? That's a bug with it. You won't hear nothing, so you hang up and then they'll call you back like "why didn't you say anything?" Lol
I tried ordering chinese food and my phone kept doing that so I had to keep caling and I'm sure we were all annoyed lol
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App

I read on another thread about the call issue, and someone said to "toggle" the speaker phone icon. For me the Toggle fix around works, also another statement was to wait for the timer to start counting before putting the phone to the ear and turning off the screen.

It's nice to know that I'm not alone. The Chinese food story is funny. People think I can't operate my phone!
Yes, I am running DK28 with a midnight ROM. T believe the keyboard issues was present when I had Eclair, too.
I'll try the phoej work around.
Thanks fellas.

microphone not working, help please

last month i started having problems with the microphone, at first it happened once a week now i happens every day. from what i noticed, everytime the phone heats up a bit due to usage or charging, the microphone stops working all together, not in call and not in sound recording. usually to solve this i shutdown the phone for a good 15-20 minutes and after that it works until next time it heats up.
now i am not completely sure that its exactely because of the heating up issue, i have the phone for more then a year and the only time before this that i had a problem with the microphone was because of the wonk issue in CM7, but this is all together different, i am using latest cm7 nightly, ir kernel (the issue happens even on a clean install of cm7 nightlys/rc.)
anyone has an idea of what might be the issue or how i can solve it? and does anyone think i should send the phone to htc even though i bought it from 3rd party retailer?

Continuous notification problem

My wife and I both have a 6p. She is running the latest lineageos and I've got Resurection's latest rom. Both of our phones have the same problem. The notification tone will randomly go off continuously for 30+ seconds and when unlocking the phone and checking, there are no new notifications. I've had the problem on lineage, stock, resurrection and weta roms. I've spend days searching xda without any luck. Is anybody else having this issue or know of a cure?

It's odd to be sure, especially since you say you can reproduce on both phones running the stock ROM. I've never heard of it. Emergency alerts maybe? Which carrier?

Try disabling NFC under Settings--> More.

We use straight talk service with Verizon SIM. I thought along the same lines but they both do it at different times. I was in a meeting yesterday and it started going off and then later in the evening hers went off in the middle of a movie. I don't even know where to begin to start to figure out the cause of it. It's not deal breaker, just annoying.

Turn off emergency alerts, and flash one back to stock? Never heard of a similar issue.

I'm having similar issues with notifications sounds too. I get one notification, check it, turn screen off, and not getting any sound for 30/60 secs, even if one or more notification arrives ( I can see it from the led notification).
Really wierd... I'm running s-aosp but I don't think the ROM is to blame. Maybe aggressive doze from greenify or maybe a Google play services bug, I noticed that removing some permission of play services caused delay in notifications, never noticed it till a week ago and then I started noticing it continuosly...

I've been thinking of going back to stock anyways because of the rumor off fingerprint gestures in the new beta update so maybe I'll try it again and see what happens.

Not only are the fingerprint gestures working, but Google finally released the full image on their beta page, which makes things really easy.

Mic not working during calls after root

Noticed within a few hours after rooting, my mic was not working. Callers could not hear me. This occurs for both regular calls and Hangouts calls. This dosen't seem to be a hardware issue as the mic works for google voice assistant. Seems to occur out of the blue, and so far ive been messing with settings and somehow the mic began working again, but the issue repeated itself later yet again.
Has anyone else had a similar issue?

Looks like im a loner with this issue. This may still be a HW issue. Might swap and get a new phone while i still can and see if the issue persists.

I have a river_amz I just obtained, waiting for sis to come over and get the FRP thing sorted. I'm going to be rooting immediately after unlocking bootloader. I will post here and let you know if I experience the same thing.
Have you found out anything since your last post regarding this btw?

No. It's been solidly working all day yesterday. Trying to make it fail again.
My only hope is its not a intermittent HW issue that will pop up bigtime after my return window expires.

So far, I've not experienced the issue on a rooted river_amz on 16_7.

Mic on MOTO G7 not working
I'm having an issue like this, but my mic just does not work at all. I'm pretty sure this one is a hardware issue because the only way I can talk to people is plugging in headphones. Do you have the regular G7, or the play/power/plus?
