My new xda2i seems to have a glitch, it doesn't like incoming calls. That is to say when I receive an incoming call it does't ring or vibrate. (yes I've set those settings properly!) If I do an SR it will then respond appropriately for a while but not always and not for long.
I thought it might have been something to do with Wibar advance 2.XXX but Ive disabled this and its still doing it, or not as the case actually is here!
Anyone else had these issues or got any thoughts other than send the thing back??

i have the same problem, and did as well on my old XDA2 and the XDA2s, the XDA2i is no different, after a while the phone gets "cloged up) some times it will ring but as i go to answer it says unable to answer the call, so i ring the caller back and they tell me they had been ringing for ages, and they hear the ringing tone and just think i am not answering the call.
but a spft reset fixes it, i am always soft reseting, and i have learned to live with it

thanks for the post, I guess I'm not the only one then huh? However I dont think SR's are the answer here I think this needs a more thorough resolution. If anyone has any ideas or solutions please respond on this thread.
I had the same problem and found that WisBar Advanced was causing this...
I uninstalled WisBar Advanced and the ringer worked again... There is a new Wisbar Beta that addresses this problem but I have not tried it yet.

Why does the phone vibrate when on a call? Seriously - this should be built into the operating system. A notification sound will suffice. It's so annoying to have a vibrations all on your earlobes. Is there a way (app) to configure this? Anyone else feel me or am I making a big deal about this?
Never noticed mine vibrate,
what is the notification for?
I turn off all in-call notifications though.

In-call notifications? Where is that? The vibrations come from sms messages.
Never noticed that.. but I have had the 'smart alarm' go off while I was talking on the phone. Was quite convenient.
And apparently it is audible enough to hear on the other end as several people have inquired as to what the noise was.

Mine doesn't vibrate when on call. Just gives a beep, maybe because I turn off vibrating notification in the sound and display setting
Wow. So I'm the only one that uses vibration for text messages? Also noticed it vibrates while charging - this also mystifies me because I don't see why anyone would need it to vibrate while being charged. Is this not common sense? I wonder if this happens with other android devices?

No, this happened to me several times. I eventually just turned off the vibrations all together. I agree, it would be nice to get a notification tone in the ear if you have the vibrate function on.
Have you tried Handcent SMS? It has great customizations for the vibration feature, among other things. Even different vibration patterns for distinct individuals. Give it a shot - might be what you're looking for.

I need the vibrate alert far too much to disable it all together. I rarely hear my phone, but almost always feel it.

Why would you not want it to vibrate while charging? During calls I could see (I have the same complaint actually), but why during charging?
+1 for a solution to this. Way too annoying when your on a call and you get a txt message but turning off vibrate is not an option.

Well, if the phone is charging its obviously plugged in. If its plugged in, its not in my pocket...its probably on a table or desk. Why do I want it to vibrate on the desk? If I'm not touching it, I can't feel it so an audible alert is good enough...
Its annoying sure, but I don't make enough phone calls for it to be really a bother. Oh well.

Is there a phone in the market that upon sensing external power it automatically switches notification type? Pike
I've had a quite a few smart phones (or so I thought) and don't recall any if them doing that.
Then again, if it's charging, it's not in your pocket. Switch notification to audible and problem solved. Takes all of one second.

All of my previous phones were running Symbian - none of them vibrated while on the phone or charging (moot point really).
Who wants to remember to switch their notifications to anything after a phone event happens? While you're at it, why not tell people to make sure they turn off their ringtones when they place or receive a call. Same logic. Doesn't make much sense to me...
I agree. Other phones I've had don't turn vibrate off when plugged in. I think they should, but they don't. So you can't really call this a "defect" with the Captivate.
However, I don't recall any of the other phones I've had vibrating in your ear when you are on a call. To me, that is a oversite with the dialer app and should be fixed.
I agree with you. I have had the think vibrate my ear off a few times.
One thing that really pisses me off is the dialer with an incomming call. ITs a pain in the ass to actually answer the call. Intead of it answering when you swipe, you have to go through 3 steps:
-Swipe
-pick end call or hold call
-swipe again to answer.
Im going to start a new thread to see if anyone knows how to answer call waiting instantly without these steps.
Here's an app I quickly made that disables the notificiation vibrator when in a call. It is a very simple/minimal app with no icons to run, or settings to change. Just don't uninstall while in a call or the vibrate setting will remain off. I only tried it with Call + Gmail vibrate.
hth
Got ya.
Its just a matter of how i use my phone. When my phone is charging, most of the time its on vibrate and i feel the vibration in the table/desk or hear it on my night stand.
I just didn't make the jump in logic.

First off, my apologies for not proof reading my poor swyping abilities.
What I was trying to state is that if it bothers you so much that the phone should ring as opposed to vibrate when plugged in , it just takes a second to change the notification type. Not sure what is there that doesn't make sense?
The vibrating in your ear, is totally understandable, hence why i didn't comment on that. IF my phone vibrated while it's on my ear, i'd be upset too.

I don't think you have sms vibrations set or maybe you're using non-stock rom - it's under the messages application. You had me for a minute cause I never checked call settings\all calls. Nonetheless - no that doesn't work. It still vibrates on a call.

Thanks I appreciate the effort. Unfortunately it seemed to turn off the vibrations all together. Lol. Even when I'm not on a call it doesn't vibrate. Can we get a second iteration? Please?
Thank you guys for the Handcent and ChompSMS suggestions. These seem to handle the message events the way I expect as they allow for in-call vibration alert customizations. Unfortunately they take over and get rid of my message puzzle pieces (cheezy I know, but I've grown to like those little things). I'm so picky - but that's what great about android right? Endless customizations!
I defintely would be interested in a less intrusive way to deal with the issue (i.e NoInCallVibrate)
May i know is there a option in the settings to change the way of call waiting alert?
like a single short beep or smtg? Because right now, is like non stop beeping until the guy who called me whos on waiting list hang up the phone. It keep on beeping and it so irrating while i am talking to my friend on the phone.
I just wan a short beep to just notify me and that enough, and not keep on beeping which is so annoying.
Any idea?
p.s: i am on cranium rom v3.1 kph. Thanks in advance
I've been having a weird problem that has become very frequent in the past couple days. When I place a call, I will just get complete silence while the counter starts to indicate the call is being made. I thought it was just a failed attempt to connect to the network, until I did some testing and found out that the call is actually being placed and the other person can answer - but they also get silence. When this happens, I don't get that initial little digital S3 tone you hear to indicate a call is being placed, and also don't hear the normal phone ringing tone you hear when you are waiting for someone to pick up. This is now happening on 25-50% of calls I place, so when I don't hear that tone, I just have to hangup and retry a couple times until I get the tones to indicate the call is going to work. It seems like this used to happen maybe once in a very long while, like maybe if you hang up and then immediately try to dial out again...but again, it's now happening very frequently. Anyone know what is going on here?
FYI, I've been on CleanRom 6 for quite a long while with no issues, and I haven't made any changes to my phone setup in weeks that would seem to account for this new issue. Any help would be appreciated. If I can't figure it out, looks like I'll try to wipe everything and start from scratch to see if it'll get rid of the problem.
Update: Tracked this issue to Soundabout app I had recently installed. Verified by uninstalling and reinstalling that app to fix/recreate the problem.
Warning: Pointless Rant Ahead
So I've just been loving our official N update. Phone is fast, responsive, N features, good battery, Xposed support, etc. However, I use vibration and sound for my notifications. And when on a phone call, the vibration for a notification is not disabled. This was not the case on MM. I'll be having my conversation and then a friggen email comes through and my phone erupts in my ear. The sound of the vibration is wayy louder than the conversation, and the person on the other end can clearly hear it to. They always ask, what was that? Are you ok? Did something happen?....No nothing happened, just the worst phone bug I've ever encountered. Whats gonna happen is I'm going to throw the thing out the window soon, because the notifications are getting worse. They seem to wait until I'm on the phone to come through. I'm not joking about this either, I'm convinced it's self aware and waits until I'm on the phone to send it's notifications because it knows that it drives me batsh*t crazy! And not just a single notification, I'm talking 2,3,4 right in a row while on a call. I also can't believe I haven't heard anyone complain about this...am I the only one? If that's the case, my phone most definitely is self-aware and I should not wait another second to smash it with a hammer and buy a Pixel 2.
Thoughts, opinions, confirmation of bug, further rants....Let's make this a thread that's all about b*tching and complaining
lol go to settings>sounds and here you have option to disable vibrations on call

Only option is "also vibrate for calls", meaning along with a ringtone, the phone will also vibrate when a call comes through. I see no options anywhere for disabling vibrations while on a call.
Further research shows this is an N bug on all Moto devices. The Lenavo forums are filled with it. No solutions. In keeping with the spirit of the thread...F U Lenavo!
LOL... Good to know about this bug. I plan to upgrade in a couple of weeks when I have some time off so I will keep this in mind.
