Cannot answer incoming call when screen locked - Palm Treo 750

I found quite an annoying feature of the Palm 750 (Cingular). My screen is locked since I am using it with an Exchange server which mandates security. If the phone is not used, it locks after x minutes.
The problem is, if the phone rings, I cannot answer it with the Green key or bluetooth headset until I have put in my password to unlock the phone.
Does any one else have this problem and hopefully a solution? I have not seen any other thread/hack of this problem.
Any help appreciated. May this is a feature that can be overridden but I cannot find any help. Thanks.

This is a weird problem indeed, and lucky for you i have the answer. I am assuming you have set the phone to show your owner info when it wakes up. Turn this off and problem solved.

dont worry, no need to say thank you.
then again, this treo forum seems to move so slow i wouldnt be suprised if he hasnt checked back again.

Email pick up schedule on Orbit 2

I had the Original Obit until I upgraded to the Orbit 2 a few weeks ago.
I love the phone apart from I have noticed the send/receive schedule on my emails will only run when the screen is active and rarely when device lock is enabled.
Has anyone else had this problem and is there a solution?
Thanks
I get my emails constandly due to Direct Push

Not me, mine checks two POP3 accounts every 15 minutes and works very, very well. I'm delighted with the email client on WM6, very good.
mmm weird.
On the rare event when it picks up an email when is locked it keeps sounding the new emial alert.
May to a hard reset....
Oh dear... sorry mate, sounds like a might be
mmm, I never did find a solution to this.
I use the S2U app to lock. When it is in locked mode doesn't do the scheduled email pick up, only when the screen is active.
Anyone else having this problem yet?
I also use S2U and both my POP3 email accounts pick up emails fine. I also have MSN Messenger running 24x7 and that works fine too, beeping when someone sends me a text.
Sorry I can't help any further.
Hello my Friend,
you will be very happy, after reading my text (i hope so). The answer is very simple. I have had the same problem. After many Hardresets and contacting my provider there was no solution. But the answer is: You have to use one of the following programms called "Kaiser Tweak or Schaps_AdvancedConfigTool". There are two points, where you can set the "Suspend Timeout from AC resuming and Battery resuming". I have set the values from 1 second to 75 seconds. After that your emails will be checked perfectly in suspend mode. To find this solution has cost me a lot of lifetime. Good luck

You my friend are a hero, that works perfectly now.
Thanks a lot.
You are welcome! Enjoy your Orbit2 now.
So humiliating but....
Errr, I've had one O2 Orbit II already, had to send it back (pricing issues/better deal. There was nothing wrong with it). On that one I did have direct push working.
However on the new one, I can't for the life of me think/remember how I activated it.
I've got the exchange server settings for work, but when I try and set up a new account on the Orbit, all I have is the options for POP or IMAP, there's nothing for Exchange...
Am I missing a click somewhere here?

Dialing forever on uitgoing calls, and no incoming calls

Every now and then, probably after using it for a couple of days, my TC gets problems with the phone function. First, it will not notify me of incoming calls, these get diverted to the voice mail. Second, when I try to make a call, it starts to dial, but the dialing never succeeds. After a minute or so of dialing it just ends the call.
I found out the following funny thing: when it is dialing, if I push the off-button at that time, the screen goes off and the sound comes on. I'm even properly connected to the person I'm trying to call!! So the connection was already there, I just can't hear anything, neither can the other person, until I push the off-button.
This behaviour doesn't happen all the time, just after a day or so of use. The solution is to soft-reset the device, not really a solution though in my opinion. Switching the phone off and on in the comm.manager doesn't help. Is there any bettter solution? I'm using the standard dutch ROM.
Thanks! Wouter

Does a different radio ROM help?
I'm a bit scared for doing that... It hasn't always been like this, so I'd rather send it back I think.

sounds a little similar to this...

Thanks for your reaction. It's not the same problem though, when my problem occurs it stays. I can never make a phone call normally again anymore, nor receive a call. I have to soft reset.

Do you have Webis Note2Self installed?
I cloned my device's software and settings to a new one from the shelve. After a few days the problem occured again. So it's probably not a hardware problem in my case. With the problem occuring, I changed the phone settings from Auto to GSM and the UMTS settings from Auto to GSM(900+1800)+UMTS(2100), both didn't solve the problem when it was occuring.
Then I opened Memmaid and discovered there was an instance of Note2Self (Webis) under the running processes. I closed that one down and closed Memmaid and then the problem was gone!!
On their forum, other users report about audio issues. I'm looking in to this further. I'm using N2S 2.01 build 2326.
[edit]
Yes! Upgrading to version 2.03 solved my problem! Finally!

Yes, I am!!
I'll upgrade, thanks.
I had the same issue with the standard WM6 ROM thats the whole reason I changed to Diamond R4 ROm, has not happened since then. One thing I did notice is that I had my phone in my hand and it came out of sleepmode by it's self and 3 minutes later after putting it back to sleep I receive a message to say I had voice mail. Now I am thinking that the phone knew a call was comming in but it was to lazy to ring so it just sent it to voice mail. When I tried to call voice mail the phone connected but there was no sound. I had to power cycle the phone for it to work again.

Intermec CN3 WM5 wakeup issues

Hello all, I recently purchased an Intermec CN3 running Windows Mobile 5 on the Sprint CDMA network for development purposes and am having a couple of issues. It uses EV-DO Rev A I believe which allows for simultaneous voice/data, just for the record.
The first is the device randomly wakes up and turns on the screen. This morning, when I was in the car, I would push the power button to put the device in sleep mode.. every 15 seconds the screen would pop back on. I do not know if this is due to it trying to grab email, or what. However, now that I am at work, it has not come on in a few minutes. This is all random.
The only idea is that SEVEN, a push email service, is starting data on the device and it is waking up. I tried using a config tool to have data always on and this did not fix the issue. It will wake up even when there is no new email. I also have Battery Pack Pro installed.
My second issue is, when someone calls my phone and the phone is in sleep mode it takes about 5 rings for my phone to even register a call is coming in.. when my phone rings twice, the call goes to voicemail. Is there a way to tweak WM to make this faster?
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask.
This actually reminds me of the bugs present when we ported WM5 for the Blue Angel (same exact bugs)...
It might seem that you are right on your assumption of the data transfer. Try to disable/disconnect the EVDO connection (put it in Flight mode) and see if the device still wakes up by itself.
As far as the ring delay, you may want to read through this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=258109
This is a patch that was for both Himalaya and Blue Angel, but should in theory work for other WM5 devices as it seems to be modifications to the registry rather than anything else.
Just so you know, I do not believe that the CN3 is a HTC device, but since your problem was mildly general, you got lucky
Good luck...
Thanks for the reply.
It is certainly not an HTC device however this forum has some of the most knowledgeable people around and figured I'd give it a shot.
As you stated, this is a fairly generic question probably related to software and configuration.
You could try over in the Developers Forum that Intermec just launched. It's at http://community.intermec.com.

Can't answer my phone!!

OK, I've been having this problem for a good couple of months now. About half the time that someone calls me, when I hit the Talk button on my phone it just mutes the ringer and doesn't answer the phone. Usually I try the 'Slide to answer' deal, and that just slides over to Answer and still doesn't do anything. I know the actual button is fine, it works great, i've tested it over and over again. I've changed HardSPL, ROM's, Radio's, etc. and I still see the same issue. What is wrong?! or is anyone else having something similar at least?
So I guess no one else has this issue, at all, with any ROM, radio, etc.?! I guess there must be something wrong with my phone. That kind of sucks.

I had the same issue with my htc mogul. These suggestions worked, give it a try (i will NOT take credit for these great tips/found them by searching):
dial ##778#/EPST/Modem Settings, change the slot cycle index number to 1
and or if that didn't fix it...
Take a look at your HKLM/Comm/ConnMgr/Planner/Settings/SuspendResume
It is a multi-sz value and should be #777. If it shows anything like ~GPRS or
something containing GPRS, change it back to #777 and soft reset.
Once I changed it back to #777, I can answer the call immediately when data is on, time and time again. Prior to this, there was a significant delay.
Please backup your phone prior to making these changes...
Good luck...

Thanks for the help, I don't know if I believe any of that though. First of all, the # codes are carrier specific, I have AT&T, what's your service? These codes didn't work at all for me. Second of all, I mentioned that I've changed ROM's numerous times, along with Radios, etc. and I still have the same issue. Maybe this worked for you, but for me it doesn't. I've been trying some stuff recently, re-flashing SPL, hardSPL, Stock ROMs, and I'm hoping the problem goes away although I'm not that confident. I keep thinking it must be physical as my phone's "talk" button works perfect. Every time I try it it always responds appropriately, except when trying to answer a call. Beyond that, when it does screw up, it at least mute's the ringer, so I know it's responding somewhere.
I'm not sure what to do about this. Guess I'd better just wait it out for a TP2 and sell this one and forget about it. Could be due to bad blocks, I've had numerous problems in the past that I've been able to pretty much prove were a result of bad blocks in the phone's memory. Oh well, thanks for trying, although none of that works!!
I assume he has Sprint.
I have the same problem answering calls too, and I think it's because of the slidetoanswer dialer. I'm using xECK29x's 6.5 ROM.

Thanks for the input, I think I'm going to try a different dialer for a while and see if that solves the problem. I wouldn't be surprised if that's the issue.
While his codes may be different (I'm also with AT&T), he may be onto something... I have had the same issue, but after reading this post, I have been watching, and the times the phone prevents me from answering are when I have had some sort of data (browser, GPS, etc) open in another window.
My 2 cents FWIW

I have an unlocked euro touch pro and cannot answer a call by touching the onscreen answer button. It will continue to ring tho. I have gotten in the habit of just using the hardware answer key. I've flashed numerous diff roms and all are this way, even the htc updated rom from their site. The only one that worked was the oem rom preloaded on the phone from factory. Not a big issue to me. I just deal with it.
Have this problem with energy's Roms. If you are on his 3.0 still go into Start>Tweaks>Advanced Config. Scroll down to Phone, Click on Phone Skin then Disable it. The setup of the call is different. Be sure to re enter you voicemail for it is erased when you disable the skin. Worked for me. No problems here. BTW you must understand that any Rom you flash will not be perfect!
I also have the same problem. And i to beleve its the new dialer thing. will try and change it, although i realy like the way you can search a contact with it. The other one is just a litte to small i feel. Anyway thanx for a good tip.
I'm also running into the same problem. I'll try disabling the phone skin to see how that works out.
Thanks everyone for your input!! I was a little scared to see no one answer this is at first, but now I can see this is a common problem. The dialer has to be the issue here, I've been running a standard dialer (not the phone canvas) for a couple days now and it's been perfect everytime.

Hey, it worked! I can't thank you enough, as this has been bugging the heck outa me. My slot cycle index was already set to 1, but my SuspendResume setting in the registry was "GPRS_bye_if_device_off". I had gotten to the point that I knew my problem was related to having a data connection going, but I had no idea where to go from there, and had no luck when searching the forums for a solution. Now my phone answers almost immediately, even whan I have a data connection going. Thanks again.

[Q] Incoming Call But nothing appear on lock screen

Hello,
I recently got lollipop update for my Nexus 5 OTA, After updating my phone i am experiencing issues while answering incoming calls. When i get an incoming call my phone rings and vibrate but nothing shows up on the screen.
I have to press the power button to bring my screen back to life and then unlock it to answer the incoming call. Without unlocking the phone i am not able to answer any incoming calls
This was not happening with 4.4.4. I am not sure if anyone else is facing same issue and i am not able to locate any workaround under settings of the phone. Any help on this will be highly appreciated.

Unfortunately this is a known issue that hundreds, if not thousands of people have been experiencing and reporting ever since the phone was released a year ago. So yes ever since 4.4, before even 4.4.2. Even more unfortunately it is a known issue that neither Google nor any carriers admit to own up to. Anyways to my knowledge no one knows if it is a software or hardware issue, but it is most likely not a carrier issue since it is reproduced on multiple different carriers. Anyways I will link you to the Google Forums thread that started on this issue a year ago and has hundreds of people posting and reporting it in that thread. You can find that post if you click right here.
The only solution is a work around, not a permanent solution. If you find out that someone called you, and the phone did not ring, restart the phone. It seems to have resolved the issue temporarily. I always restart mine every 2 to 3 days anyways to try to prevent it as little as possible, so that is what I would suggest. Also maybe state on your voice mail if you did not pick up to leave you a voice mail or send you a text so you know they called, because you been having issues with calls on your phone. That way you know someone called, because you will still get the text message or voice mail notification.
I had the problem mentioned in the second post (which may not be what OP was describing) and I solved it by trying out different radios. Latest one with Lollipop is fine, but the two before that weren't good.
