Missing Calls: Someone calls you, they hear the ring, but you don't get any notification, not even a missed call
Plus two side issues:
1) Display turns on by itself many times
2) For many ROMs, the signal strength indicator remains fixed at whatever signal it got at boot time.
Well, all your worries are over. The solution is here:

Hey
This is not first of April
posted the link to the solution in the first post
thx for discovering, but i need active sync additionally i use a scheduled sync, sometimes even push email. I guess therefore your trick doesnt work out?
cheers.
yeah, 4irm, the trick won't work in that case. I intented to write it in the disclaimer, but forgot to. will update the post.
i cant have the Tap on Add Server Source how can i active it thanks.
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.
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.

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"
ReadItToMe Lite is now on the android market. For those who missed my other thread it is an app which reads out your incoming sms and calls automatically via bluetooth or a headset or even your phone speaker depending on what you prefer. It also translates txt speak so unlike other apps which find reading sms's (at least mine ) difficult.. with ReadItToMe btw becomes 'by the way' and lol becomes 'laugh out loud'.. as well as that you can add your own words so for example 'diff' could become different..
ReadItToMe Pro - Reply with your voice
If would like to be an alpha/beta tester for the pro version I have attatched it below. This adds the option after you receive a message to reply to or call that person back using your voice.
This is how it works atm:
1 - You receive a message, it may be read or not depending on your settings.
2 - You will then hear a beep (same beep as when you increase ringer volume)
3 - If you want to reply to the message you say 'reply' then your message, all in one go, without a pause.. ie 'reply thanks for testing my app'
- If you want to call that person you say 'call'
4 - If you don't say either call or reply it will do nothing.. if you do say either it will confirm with you your chosen action to which you say yes or no
There is a test button as well to test out the feature.. although obviously this will not send and sms or call anyone.. its just to test how it works/captures your voice etc..
As always feature requests or ideas on how you would prefer it to work are always welcome
Note - The auto data option will turn your data on to capture your voice and off afterwards. So if you are like me and always have data off you can still use this app. (Speech to text translation requires trranslation via google servers in case you didn't know, hence the need for data)
Known bugs:
- You may need to say yes or no twice to confirm your action
I'm installing now and am happy to be a tester...if you don't mind having a tester who doesn't know anything and can never figure anything out
Good Aplication
I'm not getting call announcements streamed through my bluetooth
But I do get incoming call information through the handeset speakerphone
I wonder if an option to disable the ringtone could/should be added so just the callers number/ name should be read instead of both since the ringtone and readittome read info is done over one another
Will gladly test the application and give you the feedback.
I'm just now getting to testing the reply system....here's what happens
1... I receive an sms and the application reads it to me
2...There is an audible beep and I say "reply"
3...I get asked if I want to reply
4...I say "yes"
5...there is another audible beep and I start speaking
6...the app tells me the message is sent
7...no message is sent afterwards
Feedback....
The app is awesome without the reply feature so please don't take anything as a complaint, I hope I can do a decent enough job explaining what occurs on my device clearly enough so as to not add confusion as you work on the application lol...
After I say "reply" and after I answer "yes", it would be nice if the application gave a notification to start speaking a reply, a beep would suffice, a voice instruction and a beep would be perfect....as it is now, I am never sure if my answering "yes" to confirm I want to send a reply is accepted by the application so I find myself saying "yes" twice and then start speaking my reply...I find myself listening for an acceptance to my answer of "yes" and then hesitating to speak my reply because I'm not sure my answer is accepted....maybe what I'd prefer (not that it matters haha)...is...
1...receive sms and it is read to me
2...a beep occurs and I say "reply"
3...the app asks if I'm sure and then a beep occurs
4...I answer "yes"
5...a beep occurs and the app says "reply after the beep"
6...a beep occurs and I know to start speaking
Another optional scenario could be ........
1...receive sms and it is read
2...the app says " if you would like to reply via sms say "reply", if you would like to call, say call...speak your selection after the beep"....and then a beep occurs....
3...the app acknowledges the selection and says "you have selected to reply via sms, please speak your reply after the beep"....OR...if "call" was selected the application could say "dialing now"
Just two cents from someone who doesn't know anything and can never figure anything out
I tested the call-back feature....it works ...........of course using it the first time I didn't exactly know what to expext so when propmpted I said "call" and when asked to confirm I just said "yes yes yes yes yes"....lol....and then...IT WORKED ...very nice

Thanks for that feedback, that's very useful.. One thing which I may not have explained properly in the 1st post, the reason no message is being sent is because the way it works is you hear the beep, you say reply and your message all in one go.. it will then say reply to x your message, is that correct? if you then say yes it will send your message.. atm as you are only saying reply it thinks you want to send a blank message hence nothing is sent as I disabled sending blank messages.. I'll try and clear that up in the original post..
As to how you'd like it to work my thinking was to have it available if you want and unnoticeable if you didn't.. so for example if you don't say reply or call it will do nothing, I personally didn't want it to ask what I wanted to do however if this is the consensus amongst you guys I can add that option in..
Also were you using it via the phones mic or bluetooth?
Again thanks for the feedback.. any other testers feedback would also be appreciated..
I used it via the device handset mic as you had already mentioned the headset wasnt operational yet.....I‘ll test it now and report back momentarily.....additionally, I‘ll say.....the way youve designed it makes it much more intuitive than being prompted by the application to confirm a users choice, which makes it faster to do something.....so now that we know how to use it, I say leave it like you designed it...
I tested it as you descibe, and voila!! Success ...I say "reply" and then speak my message, the app asks for confirmation and I answer "yes" and it sent succesfully...awesome, crazyfool...very nice ...it might help others to know that when the application speaks to confirm the selection, the user replies to the application before the next beep...meaning....
When the application asks a question, once the question is asked, it awaits a reply once it's done speaking...if the user hears a beep after the voice, the opportunity to reply has passed you by and the beep is your signal that you took too long to answer it
Crazyfool, what do you think about adding an option for the user to select whether certain characters are read or not... things like forward slashes and such
new version up.. it'll now yet you reply or call over bluetooth.. would appreciate it you guys could test this and see how it works for you..
as to excluding characters it is possible although I'm not sure where that would come in handy?

Just tried app thoughts well this will be useful and testing of it never worked well concept is but while trying it with Bluetooth headphones i sent message for reply phone vibrated than no message read worked first time than stopped after that
testing this on my stock verizon galaxy nexus, does not seem to work with go sms, im trying different settings out.

Could you tell me your setting and are you using speakerphone/headphones or bluetooth?
Also everyone whos having an issue could you ensure tts works on your phone. If you enter some txt speak and press read if nothing is read then the issue is not the sms or calls but the tts settings on your phone or the volume.
Thanks for this great app, been looking for this functionality for ages. Just wondering if this is somewhere where we can request enhancements.
I was thinking about having an option that lets you have a voice confirmation that you want the incoming SMS to be read aloud.
Works perfectly. Thanks so much for this.

If you REALLY did that, then it might be a network problem, a radio problem, or someone cursed you both.
But i think it's a network problem. Can you call other contacts normally?
Maybe try changing your radio! If that doesnt help call your provider or call somebody in the same network as her!
But maybe theres a reason you cant call her? (jk)

What happens when u call?
Nothing?
Voicemail? Or
Something else?
If voicemail then it could be her phone that has ur # set as "send call directly to voicemail"
If nothing then its ur phone... But if ur able to make other calls then try dialing her number with the 1 in front of area code then try without. It could have been changed somehow.
Lastly, do either u or ur gf use Google voice or any other service besides ur phone company? ... If so check those settings just to make sure.
Good luck

but it does seem more likely that theres sth wrong with your girlfriends phone...
good luck!
well thank you all for the replies first of all!
I had a look at her phone yesterday and there's no "send to voicemail" option activated, it was the first thing I tried.
She has no apps for blacklisting contacts and, at first view, no option to do that.
we both can make call to everyone, and she can call me but i can't call her: when I try I hear for a moment the "tuu" sound (hope you understand what I mean) then the typical sound of call terminated.
I'm pretty sure it's a problem related to her phone. It has a GB 2.3.7 custom rom installed by me last year, I never updated it but it always work perfectly!
I will try a different radio just for trying to speed up my internet connection, I don't think it can be related to this problem too.

Or call your provider.
Maybe your Nexus is trying to tell you something.
Lol, anyway, check both phones, Google voice, and carriers for any sort of blocks. I know that on some phones, it's easy to accidentally put someone on a block list.
