Essential Phone Call, Voicemail, Text Problems - Essential Phone Questions & Answers

The last couple of weeks, potentially ever since the last update on my Essential phone, I have been receiving texts but not notifications of texts, and notifications are on. It's the same problem with voicemails. They are there, but I get no notifications of new voicemails. I also receive calls when my phone is unlocked, and I can see my calls in call history, but my phone doesn't ring when it is locked. I'm on Sprint. Any ideas?

[Q] Constant ringing when recieve notification

Howdy,
A few weeks ago I bought a new Nexus 4 directly from Google. This problem has been with the phone ever since I've received it, though, as it isn't too serious, I have just dealt with it. Basically, when I receive a notification, such as a text or facebook message, the phone will ring, but it won't stop, until I check the notification. For example, if I were to receive a text and was not home, the phone would ring, and ring, and ring, until I get home to check the notification. I do not believe that this is intended. So, my question is, what should I do to try and fix it?
Phone: Nexus 4
Carrier: giffgaff (UK)
ROM: Stock
(If I've forgotten any details which may be useful, remind me and I'll add them)
Thanks, Expi.

S4 speaker goes dead after text message while on a call. PLEASE HELP!

I am having a problem on my S4 that I had on my S3. I am stock rooted on MF9. It happens when I am on a call and receive a text message during the call. It also sometimes happens when I am on a call and receive a call (call waiting) and do not answer it. After I receive the text or missed call waiting call I can continue the call that I am on. However, when I hang up 2 things happen. First my notification volume goes down to almost 0. I do not hear any notifications such as texts, etc (at about 5% volume even turned up all the way). When I try to make my next call my speaker (earpiece) stops working completely. I hear the beep from it that the call connected and the timer starts but I can not hear anything on the other end. This was a big problem on my S3 and now it just started happening on my S4. I am using handcent for my texts. In handcent I tried turning the alert on and off while on a call. I have to reset my phone several times a day as this is the only thing that fixes this issue. Can someone please help me figure out what is wrong?

I have solved the issue. It is being caused by an old app that I had installed called call waiting configurations 1.9.9. This app was messing up the sounds on my S3 and S4 so if you have it DELETE IT.

[Q] Incoming Call - No vibration

Ok this is a really odd problem that I am having with my galaxy S4, running 4.4.2 NO custom roms/root or anything like that.
So whenever I get a phone call (this just started happening a few weeks ago) and I'm on the 'vibrate' profile, the phone will get the incoming call with the person's face on the screen showing me that the call is coming in, like normal. However, the phone does not vibrate at all, in fact, I see the silent logo on the top notification bar (even though the phone was on vibrate) and once I answer the call, the silent symbol is replaced by the vibrate one. This is only occurring with phone calls, not texts or other app notifications. So to recap: phone will not vibrate for incoming calls even though it is set to do so. Anybody have any idea of what is going on?!
Thanks.

How do you make the phone decline incoming calls after a certain number of rings?

I recently disabled voicemail on my TMobile phone because I found out the hard way that Tmobile charges for voicemails that you receive while on international roaming, even if you don't pick up the phone.
The only problem now is that my phone will ring forever because there's no voicemail to forward to, unless I manually decline every call.
Is there a way to have the phone automatically do this after a certain amount of rings?

no calls or missed call notifications in doze

my nexus 6p in on stock N and i get no incoming calls when my phone goes into doze

i am not sure when this issue started but it has probably been going on for a few months at least
i got another 6p and the new phone has the same exact issue , 2 phones and i get no incoming calls or missed call notifications on either one of them , when i wake up i have to wake the phone and sometimes that does not even work and calls will not go through again until a reboot
