Calls switching from bluetooth HF to handset after notifications

Hi All,
Has anyone experienced this:
Talking on the phone using a bluetooth hands free (Moto H500) and any kind of notification comes in (new txt msg, new voicemail, low battery, etc) the call switches from the headset to the handset. I only had this happen in the WM6 ROMS, but it has been in all the ROMS i have tried. Maybe there's a fix i missed somewhere, maybe it only happens to me... Any thoughs or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
thanks

Ya, I have the same issue with the WM6 ROMS.
I think I solved it though. You have to set Voice Command to only announce notifications though the device speaker. That seems to have solved the (annoying) issue for me.

Thanks for the info GadgetGuy, I'll give that a try... I just prefer that the people around me not know I just got a new message or my battery is low... If I find anymore on that I'll post again.

Missed calls notification not working

Hi guys, I've got a strange proplem. Since a day I have the issue that i don't get missed calls notifications anymore. My phone does ring and everything is fine, but when i don't pick up, I'm suppused to get a notification with the info who called me. This doesn't happen, nothing happens. When I go to the phone and the last dialed numbers I can see the incoming call so thats ok. But where the hell is the notification??????
PS, sms and e-mail notification work fine

Do you have GPRS/EDGE connection active?
It is well known bug in all WM6 ROMs that when data connection is active, missed calls are often registered as 1 or 2 seconds calls... So you will not get notification.

Data connection is always active, but it's always been active. I've previously been running NBD 7.4 and now 8.1 for a few weeks now, but the problem just started a few days back.....strange

try to use a version based on 5.2.1413 or a TNT rom.
All other have this issue.
I recommend NBD 7.9 if you want Touch or latest TNT if you dont really need touch

It seems I was wrong. I flashed TNT 4.0 (as advised above) a few days ago and so far did not encounter the problem (despite several testing attempts).
It looks nice, though I am still hesitant with saying that it is gone - it will need longer to be sure.
Mirek

I had the same problem. I don't know if this will help but I reset the call history and it started working again ok.

go to:
settings
sounds and notifications
missed calls
turn on "display notification" and "play sound"
problem solved

Um, I think he means that missed calls are not being logged...
Is that what you mean? Or are you having problems with the popup notifications?

ive gathered that now..
apperantly there IS a fix.. im trying to find it now.

what is it ? Can you share it with us ?

check this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=325917

Sorry but the issue is not covered in that forum.The problem is that ,irrespective of the status of GPRS,I miss calls and smses intermittently.I had this issue on almost all WM5 roms as well.Hence I dint post in that WM6 Issues thread

Can't receive incoming calls

Hi there, I am using VJgrace latest 3.4 ROM, I realized that nowadays, sometimes I would not be able to receive incoming calls, my friends and relatives have complained that I do not pick up their calls, they even showed me the proof of their call logs. They said there were dialing tone. So one day, I tried for myself and true enough, at times, the phone will just light up from idle, but it will not say that there is an incoming calls. When this happen, I cannot make outgoing calls as well, when I try to dial someone, it just hang there.
Any solution? Is this a radio or ROM problem?
I have run the GSM update

I faced the same problem too. I thought my friends were joking. just called myself to confirm. true enough the phone lights up for a second or two then it goes back to sleep.
this is serious. am thinking of going back to WM 5

Really? Wow. That's a new one. I guess I haven't seen this. illi - would you really go *all* the way back to WM5? Are you saying this is a problem in every WM6 ROM you have installed? I'm surprised... I've never seen it on my phone. But I don't get too many calls during the day. And I reboot my phone every 2 or 3 days just for good measure.

i cant afford to loose calls. some friends had complained since a few months back. so i suspect its all WM6 ROMs not just vj's.
i think it happened when the device is syncing because i receive lots of emails. so at that time the gprs/edge is being use. THIS IS MY WILD GUESS ONLY!! I noticed it (the device awakes then back to sleep) once while on active sync and at that moment emails were being downloaded from my email server.
How can yew trouble shoot this problem?

Do you have this checkbox selected? I'm not sure if it makes a difference, but it's one thing I saw.

not too sure but will check next time i active sync. anyway i rarely sync with my pc so i doubt thats the problem - i noticed once while hooked to pc the phone awakens and then sleep. i use mail2web.com's microsoft exchange to sync my emails. i active sync only to do spring cleaning on my device and SD.
if karhoe subscribe to the same telco as me than i suspect its the operator. (hello karhoe you there;-))

I have this problem even when the phone is not connected to Active Sync, when i'm outside. The phone just light up, and then poof, gone. Well, I am using DiGi telco. But I don't have this problem when using Andot's PEE, don't have it when using 3.0 ROM, only recently when I started using 3.1, had this problem, after so long, then use 3.4, still have it

I had this issue with WM5.. now with WM6 I didn't found (yet) this issue. (using EA ROM)
This is a quote of one of my posts (Oct 7 2006, 18:43, modaco):
i think this is a software issue..
i have a spv c600 and have problem with the telephony part (and many other spv c600 users)
1. some times when somebody is calling me the phone does not announce in any way that i have a call.
2. other times when somebody is calling me the phone send automatically a busy tone to the caller and again does not announce me that somebody has called me.
3. and other times when somebody is calling me, the caller is announced by the robot that 'the user is in an uncovered area or has the phone turned off' or it divert it to voice mail (if the WM user has voice mail active. i have it off)
however, point 1 and 2 can be 'detected' by eye on call (phonesharpen). only detected (no answer, no nothing).
- in the first case, a window with caller information is displayed as long as the caller is calling you.
- in the second case, a window appears and disparears extremly fast
to bad that the phonesharpen does not log the detected calls . i have mailed them about this, but on answer..
i gues the problem is the native telephone application
so .. in conclusion WM smartphones are not recommended for people who want to use them as a phone.. who knows what important calls you miss.. i hope this will be fixed someday

@karhoe you should tell this to NiTroGeN and to VJgrace

Gentlemen, I suspect this issue is somehow connected to currently selected homescreen. I had this issue on WM6 build 18120 homescreen with VOIP plugin, but when I chose another one not containing VOIP info, this issue has gone

I tend to believe that it is caused by either of these problems:
1 - the telco (I'm subscribing to the same telco as karhoe)
2 - the voip plugin on the Homescreen
This is what I'll do: I shall deactivate the voip plugin. But I cant afford to unsubscribe from my current telco; it offers the cheapest unlimited data plan. LOL!!

I have a feeling that it is related to VOIP, I did configure my VoIP using the xml method, and then I also installed the VoIP fix button for communication manager. Now im using HTC Home screen and so far, so good

[HOTFIX][OFFICIAL] HTC SMS Hotfix

Just browsing the HTC site and they have just released what i'm guessing is the hotfix for the sms problems.
http://www.htc.com/uk/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=297&cat=0&dl_id=812
just about to apply the fix and see what difference if any it makes.

Great news...going to try it on.
Although I hate their hotfix description:
"This update for HTC HD2 messaging lets you reach out to your friends and family with instant notifications. Keeping in touch has always been very important, and this update delivers just that: fast and reliable SMS messaging."
If it fixes a bug, let us know about it! No need to use nice sentences made up by the PR department.

messaging still takes a second or two to load up if there's a lot of messages, not sure about the issues sending texts or receiving them, not tested that yet, although i didn't really have that problem with my hd2

haha... totally agree......

I just installed the hotfix. I haven't had problems with sending and recieving sms. But it couldn't hurt to try it out.
But I have a big problem, with the sms list loading. It makes the sms-application very hard to use. and it is still very hard to use, after the hotfix.
first a rom update..that doesn't solve the problem....
then a sms-hotfix..that doesn't fix the problem...
what's next?

did you just say that the sms fix doesn't deal with the loading lag ?

definitely does not fix the loading lag. sigh

WHAT THE HELL !!!
What where we waiting for ???! Now that's really pissing me off...
First, the ROM doesn't fix the crackling and noises during the voice call despite bragging about that crystal sound clarity... And now.. the SMS fix...
What did they fix exactly ?

I think this fix was never intended to fix the lag while loading sms history. I is meant to fix the "sms stays in outbox" bug. Hopefully it does at least that .

Certainly didn't fix mine.

I'm on the newer ROM turkish 1.61.
Would it do any harm to install anyway?

To help you guys a little, is more of a walkaround, but i noticed in lock screen if a message has been recieved and i do the ,,slide to view,, there is no lag at all, other than that, this fix doesn.t fix anything...at least i don.t see any change on my device

I don't know about you, guys, but this fix created many problems in my GPRS data connection, connecting and disconnecting all the time, stopping Direct Push. Everything went back to normal after uninstalling it.

are you saying that this fix doesn't work?! are there still problem with sending sms?!

Didn't fix the lag for me either, what a joke. That garbage PR line is a spit in the face too.

this fix is not for the sms lag

Who's on first, What's on second?
Guys - when you say "it didn't fix it for me" can you be more specific about WHAT it didn't fix and what it DID fix - people are referring to multiple problems: SMS lag and SMS sitting in Outbox so it's not clear reading this thread which problem is still outstanding for people.
If SMS's are still sitting in your outbox then that's clearly a major problem with the "hotfix". If it's SMS lag, well I guess we'll need to wait for the next "hotfix"

Well I have to say, with this device just being able to send/receive sms properly seems to be a good step forward already.... Is it confirmed this fix deals with the outbox stuck issue?

I am getting pissed with HTC daily - i still think they didn't test the HD2 properly!. Just rushed the phone out the door

Exactly. People need to take a step back and stop posting incoherent babble about how annoyed they are. Clearly it doesn't fix the lag so the people who had the SMS outbox issue need to confirm it fixes that. Personally, I have never had the problem so can't say.
EDIT - just found this in another thread. It seems it doesn't fix that either.
Noam23 said:
Ok I have confirmation:
This fix does *nothing* to fix the sending problem.
It's easy for me to see this because unlike other people the sending problem happens for me 100% of the time.

[Q] Built-in Messenger

I was Using the built-in Msn/facebook messenger function in the Mango built 7.10.7712.60 and came here to share some thought and wonder if i am the only one facing this issue or is there anyone else
Sometimes i get messages with delays .. the scenario is like this :
i am chatting with someone then a sudden silence breaks in .. after a while i write a something and hit send and BOOM i get like 3-4 messages that i didn't recieve on time.. it happened to me several times
did it happen to anyone else or just me ?

Yep, I've noticed that also.

I also have the same issue but mostly due to bad internet connection

Go to wifi. Try it.
No delays. Blame your internet.
Just happens with my 3G/2G internet.

It happens to me all the time. What is annoying, though, is getting a toast notification for _every_ message, even when you are in the thread. I wouldn't mind the many toasts while I am not in the thread, but good grief, when I am watching all the messages come in, I don't need a notification for every one.

I am still unable to see my contacts online or to have them integrated with their actual contact information. I can chat with them if they message me first though. And they always show up as their email address. Has anyone figured that out yet?

Eh, I'm sure everything will work great when the final release comes out. My phone has done some things that don't happen on demo videos or it won't do things that demo phones do. It's what we get for playing with the beta.

Is 1.5mb/s download speed internet connection enough for you?

Not concerned about the speed. But with reliability.

yes, this is solved by soft reset all your data on the phone - from the settings menu, ofc it will wipe all your data and everything, i had the same problem btw ^^
@The Main Problem
I am pretty sure its not related to the internet speed too, my 3G internet speed is above 4 mb/s
i Can't try it over wifi for some reason.. and even if i tried it will be of no use .. the basic state for my phone is 24/7 on 3G with Wifi turned off even at home .. also wifi turns off automatic after screen off so thats another block ..
what i am asking for is the reliability over 3G which is very important for a BBM/iCrap replacement solution ( for example )
i hope this get fixed in the final release, but i won't bet on it since the final release already out

The final release its 8 builds after our mango. So, it is a bug, it should be corrected. Although I dont think it really is a bug..

Jallen, do you have the Facebook app installed with notifications turned on?
Sent from my HD7 T9292 using XDA Windows Phone 7 App

are you able to see your contacts status? i can see there name and for some friends i can only see there email id. And the yahoo friends who are on my windows live ID. i can see them online but when i click on there name it says "Something's wrong"
