Hi guys, i like my fuze but damn, its not perfect, i have had this thing freeze couple times, but here are the problems ive had so far. sometimes when im receiving a phone call it will ring for 1 second then hang up, ring 1 second again, hang up, it keeps doing it, and after each ring & hang up session it makes it appear as a missed call. another problem ive had is with the End key, its not responsive sometimes, when i try to hang up a call i will think it ended because the dialpad went away but the call is still going and will go to voicemail or whatever. also if i havent turned off the phone for a while sometimes i cant access the messaging portion of the phone unless i soft reset. is there anyway to cure these problems, and am i the only one having these problems.
If your on a stock rom FLASH IT... the At&t Rom sucks, download advanced config and change the end call delay to something WAY LESS then 3000 milliseconds (which is a 3 second delay just for hitting the end key) mine is at like 50 milliseconds... put the ROMeOS rom for the Fuze on it or something else whatever you feel is the best i use ROMeOS.... oh and when the phone hangs itself up is it all the time or is it only when its in your pocket?

This happens quite often and is becoming a real problem now.
At times I just cannot end the call. I hear the button sound but it does nothing. The other problem is that if I have to enter a pin number over the phone the buttons are not sending the tones but I can hear them.
So in essence after I make a call 60% of the time I cannot do anything with the keypad including hang up. I have to reset the phone. I heard data takes priority so I wonder if in the background one of my 4 pop accounts is getting new mail at the time?
not sure
see specs in signature, thanks
i was told about using advanced config- in the phone setting page, making sure that the DTMF checkbox is not checked.
ticking that off made things worse.
i get the same problem with
black diamond 3.1
ipl/spl. 3.08
gsm 2.69.11.
phone won't hang up when i get someone's voicemail. Buttons appear responsive and i hear the tones.
so it might not be the rom then
Try different Radio FW.
I downgraded to 2.19, and so far it works fine. I was having the same issue with the last 2 versions of TNT, as well as missed calls.
YMMV I'm new to all this
SOLUTION? maybe...
hey guys. i'm running blackdiamond 3.1 as well. I used to have that problem a lot too, the end button not doing anything. I was told that keeping the end key down for about 30 seconds will end the call and after that one time, you don't have to hold it for so long again. that worked for a little bit of time for me, but then messed up again. now i reflashed the rom and am using t-mobile radio rom 2.19. everything's working perfectly so far so try that radio rom. hope that helps.
flashed 2.19 and seems better- still testing
I am in Baltimore Maryland... Ever since i upgraded to jf's rc33 firmware, i get aloooooooooot of " undelivered message" notifications. This never used to happen to me, maybe once a week with 2 messages. In most cases people ask me why the F am i triple texting, and it happens when i try to resend the messages and the phone keeps saying "message cannot be delivered". Is anyone else experiencing this? In maryland only perhaps?
I have tried keeping message count below 100, reseting the phone seems to be the only quick fix. One other thing, when i try to make phonecalls every now and then, the **** just hangs up as soon as the call is placed and when i receive a call sometimes and i press the answer key, it takes about 10 seconds to answer and continues to ring. suggestions buddys?
Make sure you delete your SMS threads if they get too long. Typically once threads get past 150 they are slow and take a while to open. If you are using the stock sms try chomp seems to handle threads better. I have JFRC33 and have not issues.
My wife and I have the exact same problem with the phone hanging up and not picking up a call for while. And dropped calls - almost always. And we live in the heart of Dallas.
yea the g1 is a nice phone, but either android or t-mobile blows..
every now and then people call me, and i get a missed call, but the phone never rings,
and sometimes when i call people, they pick up but one of us cant hear the other,
and sometimes, the g1 will ring, but when i press the green button to anwser, the phone continues to ring
im getting pissed off,
rc29, rc33 both fail to work
I am in Baltimore as well, and I have JF1.42 RC33, without any of the problems you have. Sorry, can't be of more assistance, but maybe your SIM card is old and needs to be replaced? I have heard of them causing issues sometimes.
yup same thing is happening to my phone. it is really starting to piss me off. i thought it was cuz i dropped my phone but i guess others have been getting the same thing. i hope theres a fix for this
I had this happen to me about two days ago. SMS failed to send to anyone. I restarted the phone and havent had a problem since. They are still developing this unit, so try to be patient.
i've had some calling issues recently, both making and receiving.
sometimes when receiving a call, i'll pick up and my phone will reboot, and take absolutely ages to boot up. and when making calls the other end will sometimes go completely dead and it's the same for the other person.
only happens very occasionally but it's happened with a few landline calls and different mobile networks. only been since RC33 too. not saying it's related but it is kinda annoying.
Wipe fixes all
unless the problem's firmware/hardware related, then it does **** all.
Wipe and wait
Could be too many apps eating memory on the G1 and/or buggy apps crashing buggy android. The best you can do is download mybackup from market, back up all data +sms+ageda etc, Wipe the phone. An dont install a single app from the market in 1-3 days and see if problems dissapear.
Personally, i never install any app who claims to "start at boot" Never. MyBackup is one of them and always delete it after backup. i may be wrong but i thing resident in memory apps and apps who starts at boot degrades performance over time, because many of them are buggy so i avoid using them. Well my phone runs fine with this.
buggy behavior
well i think this happen when phone memory is full, try to delete least used applications, clear applications cache like browser and youtube , then do a reset.
Ive had the issue more than a few times where the phone will start ringing but the screen will stay dark, i wait until it turns on to see who is calling after a few rings and then it wont respond to pressing the answer button unless i press it a few times, and even then it takes its sweet time answering. Ive dropped plenty of calls due to this, and yes it has only started happening after the radio firmware/RC33 update.

Oh... don't even start my on "MyBackup"... I kept trying to figure out why my phone was lagged so much when I was going back to home screen. Uninstalled apps that were running all the time one by one. MyBackup and Phonebook were 2 biggest memory hogs. Phone runs oh so smooth after I unistalled those 2. Backgrounds app still autostarts for some reason but I like that app too much to uninstall and it does not cause as many problems.

I still have this problem after another wipe..
why does android suck...
i wish tmo would come out with a winmo 3g phone, so much more stable and with more features =(.. i miss my shadow now
I started running into the issue of the phone not actually responding to the "answer call" button, but found it was only happening when I had auto-rotate set up with the DroidSans tools and the display had been rotated to landscape. It seemed like it would start trying to switch to portrait, then lock itself up long enough for the call to go to voicemail, then flip to portrait and be responsive again. I haven't had the problem since I disabled auto-rotate.
However, on the "too many apps" thing, I've suddenly started noticing that my phone will start a good 15-20 apps on startup, including things like AK Notepad. I didn't notice if this was something that started with RC33 or if I've done something else to make this happen...does this happen with anyone else?
I have had a similar issue with my g1 dropping calls and will sometimes see a force close while on a call as well. I did a wipe and did not enable auto rotation and so far it seems to be running more smoothly.
Been there done that...I am having the same issues and it is beginning to drive me nuts. I make heavy heavy use of my phone on a daily basis. Dropping calls where they just go to la la land...or the phone rings and I cannot answer for about 10 to 15 seconds, the phone just reboots for no reason... stupid things like that. I have RC33 rooted, radio upgraded with JF 1.41 and this has been happening daily about 3 times or so a day. I love my G1 and I have a hard time parting with it...I am trying to be patient while it develops but...I am about to go get the 8900 curve...
I forgot to mention...I had to do a wipe on my phone also due to a problem with the accelerameter and that did not help this issue either.

it seems to me that it is tmob related, since i`ve had that b4 on my lil nokia phone.
I did a couple of tweaks nothing to major just the speed, battery, got rid of the message notification and thats it but now when I use the slide key board sometimes it doesn't work and when it does its slow and puts extra letters ie. hello what you been up to? will come out like hello wwwwwwhat you bbeeeennn upto? and then my phone stopped ringing periodically some times it rings other times it doesn't usually I will just pull the battery out and it fixs it temporarily any ideas are helpful I was thinking virus? idk.

First off what ROM are you using and secondly, you may have done something
ie operator error...
i dont know what the rom is everything is pretty much stock the only thing that i did was the notification delete and some speed ones and unlocked the phone but i didn't flash the ROM

This also happens to me sometimes, I have an EnergyROM. I just do a soft reset when it happens and things get back to normal.
I do a soft reset almost every 15 minutes things go back to normal for about 5 minutes then things start going back to what they used to be now my screen goes vertical and horizontal without me even sliding out the keyboard and my ringer doesn't ring man I just wanna throw it then I remember expensive phone expensive phone
Hard reset and quit tweaking the phone until you know what you are doing. Screen rotation is normal with this device.
Most of what you describe, you have caused or there is an easy fix available, particularly for your keyboard issue.
Just search, read and learn.
You'll be amazed!
About half the time, when I try to answer an incoming call, my Verizon TP2 will only mute the ring without answering the call. It responds the same whether I use the touch screen to answer or press the send key, and whether or not the phone is locked or unlocked when the call arrives. Has anyone had a similar problem or know of a fix? Thanks.
I got this behavior the first time I finished getting the phone set up how I wanted. I eventually had to hard reset to fix it.
I think it was probably s2u2 interfering with the nonstandard dialer / answer bits on the phone. Even uninstalling it didn't help though. I have not bothered to try reinstalling s2u2 after the reset though to see if it causes the problem again.
i have this same problem. as i recall there was some registry tweak you could do to fix it, but i cant remember it to save my life. I have the worst problem with being on the internet and trying to answer a call. anyone know of a fix? whenever i am on opera and try to answer an incoming call it just freezes and i have to exit opera and call the person back. anyone with a fix for this other than a hard reset?
i had the same problem before i flashed to 6.5 on my vzw tp2. I also suspected that it was because of s2u2: I followed to uninstalling and i kept on getting a message about s2u2.exe not being a valid app or something. I also thought it could have been because of the dialer i had. The dusk dialer...for sense2.1 while i had manilla. after the flash i reinstalled s2u2, and will see if this persists to happen again.
It happened to me for the first tiem twice yesterday, my phone awoke and I could see my taskbar icon switch to 1x but I didn't see a call then I got a voicemail, when I called the person back they said it rang 6 times and went to voicemail, and it happened again later where i saw the call box and slide to answer come up but the screen was stuck and I couldn't answer it, not even with the hardware key.
Same thing is happening to me. The first time someone calls it won't answer whether I use the soft key or the hard key and the screen just freezes. However when the person calls back, it answers immediately when I click the answer button. I don't have S2U2 or any other phone/lock apps which interfere with answering a call.
Same here guys, I have been having the same issue, but as I can see for weeks now I haven't been able to nail down a solution either...
I too have had the same issue for several weeks. More prevalent when the screen is locked. Rings once and goes to voicemail.
stupid double post.
I've only run across this issue when I am using too much RAM. Try using cleanram and closing out tasks that you are not using.
I have virtualized my RAM so that it never utilizes over 50 % available and have also made sure that all applications utilizing memory were closed down. The problem still persists and can not identify its cause.

have you tried s2u2 and their call answering interface?
I have searched and all that came up are a bunch of issues with the screen not coming back on. This is not my issue, I wish mine would stay off. I have tried every method I know and my cheek keeps switching calls, hanging up, and dialing other numbers while I am trying to make a call. I've tried the power button method of hitting the power button and continuing the call, but even that hasn't fixed the issue. For the life of me, does anyone know of a "fix" for this? I'm about ready to break this thing in half. Thanks for any and all help.
One more thing, does anyone here use the google VVM? I had it working at one point on my D2, but ever since I switched to the TB I have had trouble getting it to work. I have tried the *71 or whatever method, but I still can't get it to forward. I can log in and see my old messages fine, but for some reason I can't get this one to forward the calls to GV for a message.
Ok, are you rooted, and of so, what ROM are you using.
I've seen some posts where people have problems with their proximity sensor, and they said blowing compressed air in the speaker (back of phone under kickstand) has helped.
Has far as Google voice goes, I've never had a problem setting it up. Again, what Rom are you running (though I don't think I've tried a Rom that didn't like Google voice.)
Sent from my HTC GingerBolt powered by Gingeritis 1.2.1
Bamf 1.8.6 remix. I'll try that. I just don't understand why it still comes back on after hitting the power button while on a call. I had it set up on my phone before changing roms, and I had it working on the D2. And I'm kinda being misleading by saying that it's not "working". I can connect to GV via the app, but I can't get the settings in the VM menu to "stick" as the GV. It keeps giving me the prompt that it is not supported by the "carrier". So I tried the long method of forwarding my missed calls to GV via *71 and two other * numbers seceded by my GV number. But for some reason the calls still won't forward if sent to VM. The only reason I have it is so that I can delete my messages without having to ever actually listen to them, I hate VM altogether, but verizon keeps giving me those popups when I have a message and they won't go away till they are either listened to, or deleted. And I'm not paying 3 or whatever dollars a month just so I can use something that is free though other methods. Thanks for your help.
My proximity sensor has never been the slightest bit reliable on any rom including stock
The proximity sensor on the Thunderbolt is located on the top front face of the device, inside the "V" of the Verizon logo. It can seen under bright light. It seems to be quite sensitive to dust, which causes the screen to turn on/off unexpectedly.
Carefully blow a bit of compressed air into the earpiece grill, and into the small gap between the glass and plastic housing shown in the circle, and it should clear it up.
I've had problems with my proximity lately as well.. Been hanging up on people (it's very embarassing) during important calls. It's making me almost switch phones. This happens on ANY rom these days so it tells me it's a hardware problem at this point. Also, usually after I get a phone call and hang up afterwards, the entire phone is unresponsive until I hit the power button on top and hit it again to wake up, then everything is functional again. So annoying.

I've always felt like it was a hardware problem.
