Trouble accepting calls

Ever since i installed wm6.5 (and I tried a few) I am have trouble accepting incoming calls. This is different from the lock screen issue. Whenever I get an incoming call i see it and either hit the hard key or slide left on-screen to accept but it doesn't answer but continues to ring. if I slide then the slider gets stuck all the way to the left until it stops ringing.
Any ideas as to what could cause this, I have this on different wm6.5 roms, and my friend who has the same wm6.5 rom has no problems.
Please help

well turns out it does answer but takes like a few secs to engage so if i click to answer late in the ring it doesnt have time to answr b4 the person goes to voicemail. i did use trapcall b4, and have now cacelled, maybe it is causing my problems?
any info of how I can reset att to default settings like voicemail and get 100% rid of trapcall.

I got this from a different thread and saved it to my computer just in case I bumped into this problem. I don't know if it'll work on 6.5, but you might want to give it a try:
I had the same problem as many others: When data is on (active or dormant, EVDO or 1xRTT (dormant), it takes many seconds for the calls to be answered, the phone keeps ringing even though I pressed the answer key.
It does appear that one of the tweak applications created the problem, at least for some. After much research, this may be 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.
When I used PHM Regedit to correct this, it seemed to crash (the reg editor never crashed before now). I had to use SKTool's regedit. I will create an export if this will help you.
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.

Dude, thank you so much, I cant believe it was so simple. But I'm confused how it happened in the first place. Anyways yeah, changing SuspendResume to #777 works wonders.

I've got a slightly different Slide To Answer issue.
I just updated to the newest HTC stock rom for my Touch Pro.
I noticed on the first call that Slide to Answer was part of this rom.
It seemed to work well but suddenly I lost the slide button. The green bar for answer and red for reject are still there but the slider itself has disappeared. The only other thing I have changed since the rom upgrade is to add a cab file (from an XDA thread) that restored my Chinese fonts. Could something in that have disabled the button graphic?
What else could it be? How do I get this button back?
Also, is there a way to customize the Slide to Answer screen?
Rom: 5.07.707.2 WWE
Radio: 1.11.25.01

The Slide-to-Answer, for whatever reason, never worked right on my Fuze, so I just disable it.

HTC Touch PRO 2 - FULL OF BUGS - Please review these and let me know!!!!!

Hi Everyone -
I have used the HTC touch PRO for about 3 weeks now and I have to say it is FULL of bugs . Can you guys confirm or deny this:
1. If the phone is set to vibrate, it will go back to "RING" after a single call. Meaning if someone calls me once, it will go back to RING. This also happens if the ringer is set to Vibrate and Ring also.
2. When you make a call using the "dial pad", the "dial pad" disappears very quickly and goes to the main screen. Then you have to hit the DIAL button and then KEYPAD to get it back. It is very annoying when you call your bank or an airline where you have to go through a series of promts like entering your ID numbers, pins, etc.
3. The camera seems to come on sometimes by just touching the screen.
4. If you have multiple numbers associated with a contact (home, work, mobile etc), it shows one number when dialed. For example, when I dial my friends HOME number, it dials the home number correctly, but on the display it shows the MOBILE number being dialed.
5. Unable to send a CONTACT's info by SMS directly from the CONTACTS page. It will send a MMS but not a SMS. THis is when someone asks for a phone number of a person and you just want to send it automatically from your phone book.
I am sure there are other bugs also, but the above are the most annoying as hell.
I want to make sure this is with everyone or just my phone!
Thank you

hey,idk how helpful this willbe but it seems like these phones str8 out of the box are having problems...ive read that a hard reset will get rid of some of the unwanted bugs...you may try that

1. Just tested and after call vibrating stayed on.
2. The keypad goes away but not to the home screen. So all I have to do is hit on key, keypad to get back to it.
3. never had that happen.
4. Confirmed. Seems to default to the first number stored maybe??
5. Confirmed. Most likely because it is sending the vcard or something as an attachment???

My experience is the same with the Verizon branded TP2.
#5 It sends it as vCard attachement.
I Just open the contact info to edit then copy and past it into SMS.

Returning TP2 tomorrow
Used the TP2 for 3 weeks;
1. Screen clicks when touched, guess the slider hinge is loose;
2. Set vibrate then ring, keeps going back to ring only everytime the phone is powered off and back on, (standby on); this is the mode I use often, not to annoy people in meetings, and not to miss calls;
3. Cant set screen dim time to more than 10seconds, it dims after 10seconds no matter what the settting is;
4. Internet brower lunch from home gets stuck randomly, have to hit end go back to home, then internet again;
5. GPS performance with Sprint Navigation is much worse than Touch; It takes much longer to lock, and it lose GPS often; Maybe a software thing, Google map seems to work fine.
Non of the bugs are serious, but very annoying! The phone is too big, too heavy, too expensive ($349 from Sprint)! Miss the dial pad; The only good thing is the beautiful screen.
Hopefuly WM6.5 upgrade will fix these, but dont want to get stuck with waiting for the upgrade, I've just re-activated my old touch, and returning TP2 tomorrow.

You can add the issue of not being able to keep static IP's assigned to the network adapter for use while in your workplace or business, and then when not in the workplace haveing the ability to use sprints data services. In otherwords everything has to be dynamic. If you want to use static ip's while in range of wifi, you have to clear it out when you leave the wifi spot in order to use regular evdo.

gps is fast and accurate
fast if you disable touch flo and use mobile shell

Another bug
When viewing NFL mobile, after about two minutes into showing something, the phone reboots itself. Quite annoyin'!

1. I've heard of this happening after soft reset but it doesn't happen on my phone
2.Works perfectly fine on mine, all you do is hit the 'Keypad' button and it should stay up. if you end up at the home screen hit 'phone' and then keypad and you should be good....do you have a dialer skin on it?
3.Never happens for me
4. haven't tried, i don't have any contacts with multiple numbers
5. haven't tried but i usually just copy/paste phone numbers for sms
definitely try hard reset. and if it's got a warranty or anything like that you still have the option to return/exchange it

well speak of the devil my phone started showing some of these symptoms later in the evening and now even worse when i make calls i can hear people talking but they can hear me
a hard reset fixed it but when i restore my backup files it goes back to messing up so maybe it's one of the tweaks i ran?

is there a way to use sprite mobile to only restore contacts/sms? that's all i really need i'll think i'll hold off on the tweaks and just wait for the HSPL unlocker

Hope these problems are all fixed when the HardSPL is released.
As for now, I am holding my breath waiting to see if the gps problem is fixed on a new rom, waiting to buy this phone.

yeah, the real messed up part is verizon is out of stock with the phone. i went to a verizon store but they couldn't even replace it for me. i think the people over there are retarted cuz i've known it was out of stock but the dudes at the store didnt know and the guy they had me talking to on the phone didn't even know they didn't sell them in stores!
'you'll probably get the imaggio isntead it's the upgrade of your phone'...no stupid i need a keyboard

mine keeps switching from Ring and Vibrate to Ring as well

Love this phone but the phone/dialing feature sucks..

Owned this phone for bout a week and been constantly playing with it and love everything bout it except the phone/dialing feature....coming from a blackberry, the phone/dialing just makes sense and works. Couple gripes I'm having:
1. Speed dial, I can't by default just hit 2 or 3 but I have to click off the "X" above the number pad before I can use speed dial. If I just long press 2, it would still think i'm trying to dial out a number and not speed dial.
2. In the same "phone" screen they have recently dialed incoming/outgoing calls but it just shows a picture or no picture depending if I have them, but they don't show the numbers. I have to use the optical pad to scroll though to show the number, I can't even you my finger to swype through cause it will automatically dial the number without me knowing who i'm dialing specially if I have no picture or number.
3. The "Faves" is kinda redundant cause it shows the recently dialed people same as the "Call Log". I know you can put your favorite people on the top list but still...kinda redundant.
4. I can start dialing a users name via the dial pad and it would find the person I'm looking for, what happens when that contact has multiple numbers, if I click on the contact from what it found via dialing his name in the dial pad it would just dial the cell number; won't give me options to dial his home, work etc. Just dials the cell number by default.
This is just some of the stuff I can point out right now. But its just not very intuitive and I have to go through multiple taps just to find someone, dial someone in my contacts or know where to look before I can dial out.
If there is an app for the phone that I can use to replace the built in "phone" feature, that would be great. Just not crazy bout how the Phone feature which should be the most important feature on a "smartphone" is so poorly layed out.
Thanks for any info....

I agree the mySense phone app is not the greatest, and probably stock froyo app is bit easier to use.
What about the speed dial, you you can hit menu on your home screen, than add to home/ shortcut / direct dial - choose contact - choose phone number . It will creat a speed dial icon on the home screen. Also you can create a folder and group them, like "Work" "Family" etc.

I like the phone/contacts application much better in what Cyanogen has in his ROM. It's simple and super fast, the one included with our phone is complicated and clunky.

I need to add that to my list, not a deal breaker, but definitely needs an overhaul.

I cannot recreate any of your problems on my phone dialer.
Speed Dial can be achieved easily two different ways. In the phone app, select menu and speed dial. Add new will be at the top of the screen. Select from contacts and choose a speed dial number. Long pressing on that number, regardless of what is in the screen above (blank number or last call) will dial the contact attached to that speed dial number.
Another method is to long press on the number while editing a contact and selecting speed dial.
The 'last call' at the top of the dialer should always show at least the number,unless it was blocked.
Faves is the same as Favorites on the vanilla dialer. Put your favoite called numbers here. It is a lot quicker than using contacts. I hate the faves app but the dialer function is fine. As far as the recent calls, those are actually the most frequently called numbers and you can set that to just one by pressing menu>edit smart group and selecting the number of members.
Your number four is quite fixable. If the contact has multiple number, it will dial the Primary one, which you can choose the first time you call a contact. Alternatively, you can press on the icon on the right side that looks like a contact card. It pulls up the contact and you can select a number from there.
I prefer the vanilla or CM dialer much better myself but because CM does not have a ROM that works for me yet (the phone app does not work for me) I learned all I could about the only stock alternative.
Hope this helps.

Also...
To search contacts you have to tap the spyglass. WTF? Why isn't the search field just there?
Each entry in the contacts is too tall. Give me the option to make it thinner. In the taller entry, add some information, such as shown in the My contact card, the default phone # for instance.
Favs is worthless. Allow me to dump it.
In the phone, I *do* like the 'start typing out a name' but it would be nice to be able to long press to pick the #, as someone said. At least it does something useful (mostly. Add to Faves is pointless).
DO NOT always show the last caller or callee at the top. That can be nice, or it can be embarassing.
Allow me to delete all of a certain # from my call log, not just individual iterations. At least this phone doesn't redial the last # all the time like my friend's iPhone does, and my other friend's MyTouch (plain version).
However, it redials too easily. So if I talked to my folks earlier and then at night I'm getting this post ready and they are asleep and the damn thing redials, well, that's bad.
If I start tapping out a number, let me edit it, say using the trackpad. C'mon, this is obvious!
And while playing with this, it got stuck in Searching contacts. And if I want to dial a number, how do I do that? At the top, Save to People. No number displayed, no people icons. Enter name or number/Tap to see smart dial tips. WTF? Time to reboot or something.
How about a remapping genius to search (as it should have been) and long-press on search brings up phone? Or something. I hate how with a normal POS phone I can dial. With this I have to go to the home screen or unlock the screen & log in, then press a button, then finally I can call.

I use Quickdial for my contacts that I call quite a bit. Nice app and allows 36 contacts.
I personally do not like the built in dialer. It is rather clunky to use witht he buttons on the bottom and if hands are rather large, it gets tricky sometimes hitting the phone button and the call button.
Have not found a good replacement yet.

I started using "Dialer One" and I like it better than the build in dialer. Its simple and it works...not the best but better. Also, started using Google Voicemail so everything pretty much works the way its supposed to now.
This is my first Android phone, and my experience is so far ok, but kinda annoying that I need to research, investigate and try out a dialer just to make the phone work.

I also like Dialer One and use it as both a dialer and address book replacement. If you set it to show your favorite contacts on the default screen there's minimal clicking. It also supports using your background image, pretty cool.
I hate the stupid Faves feature of the phone as well. Especially for SMS. Why does it need to explicitly notify me that one of my Faves messaged me? The new message notification by itself is sufficient.

Ah joy, it seems I found a bug. I reported it to T-Mobile, they gave me a # for HTC and I'll try pursuing that (if someone has a bugreporting URL for them...). My phone is perm-rooted, I'm not running (gasp, the horrors) a task killer.
Go to Phone (home screen, press picture of phone). You should see your last call at the top.
Tap out some numbers, say 55555.
Decide you wish to edit those numbers (the 2nd 5 should be a 5) and use the trackpad to move over to the left.
Unexpected behavior: it moves to Faves, then Contacts.
OK, fine, no biggie, now use the trackpad to move back to Phone.
Bug 1: Notice there is no number displayed and it says at the top that you have matches for n of your contacts where n is the total number of your contacts. Apparently the number typed is lost. Sucks but minor.
Bug 2 (often, not always): Tap out another number. Note that often (usually for me) you can not see any number. I believe it also shows that I'm still matching all of my contacts (it isn't reproducing for me currently).
I wonder if anyone else can see this, or if my phone (or if I got confused. It happened after rebooting as well, but isn't happening now.

CM7 Root: Black Screen with Contacts

I flashed the ROM yesterday and noticed a couple of things.
When I went to People and did a contact search by name, the result came up with a black screen. I hit menu and I could edit the contact and the all the information would come up. I could dial from that point on.
Also, I had a call come in and the screen was blank with no contact info or incoming call on the screen.
Lastly, went to change the Theme on ADW Launcher, and when I switched Themes, a bunch of apps were opened and I had to back out or close everything. The web browser was one app that opened, and I had to hit the power button off, then back on, as hitting the back arrow would not close the app.

I had the odd call thing happen today as well. First and only time it has happened. The phone rang, or appeared to, yet when I went to grab the call there was no screen notification of any call and no way to answer it. To top is off, the phone app never showed either a missed call or a left voice mail. Made me wonder if instead of a call, it was a random triggering of my ringtone with no call behind it.

There are a few quirks that Im finding out.
Most annoyingly is that the phone does not have my contact number or cell number.
is there a way to fix this as Ive read its the SIM that needs to be identified and I guess flashing the ROM erased my identity to the Inspire when I did this?
I cannot use TiKL or people do not have my number appear on their phone if I call them....

Issue with dialing phone numbers from outside the stock dialer

Ok guys, I am pretty spent in terms of ideas here, I hope somebody can help. I'm not sure if this is a cyanogen thing or a Oneplus thing but here goes:
So I just got the Oneplus One and it's pretty damn nice, save for the twitchy Wi-Fi and BT, but they work fine most of the time so I'm fine with that.
However I am having a really strange issue. I have been using ExDialer on my old Galaxy Nexus because its stock dialer was crap. At this point I am married to exDialer. I've been using it for so long and it is so good and don't feel comfortable using anything else.
Problem is that the Oneplus never asks me about changing the default dialer after I install it. And once I try to call a number from it, it jumps to the stock dialer, with the phone number typed in instead of ringing the contact directly. And apparently there are no defaults. Neither the stock dialer nor the ExDialer are set as default, according to their app info.
So far easy, peasy, right? I downloaded a 3rd party app and forced ExDialer to be come default. And no joy. Still the same thing. When I try to call a number, it goes to the stock dialer and I have to click the dial button there as well in order to call.
I tried disabling the stock dialer entirely and when I try to make a call from EX, it apparently still wants to do the same thing as before and tells me the dialer has stopped working and to go ** myself.
And apparently it's not just ExDialer. I get the same issue when I try to call a number from Google Now, by voice command or by typing, as well as the Google voice dialer app - again, it does its thing says "calling X"" and then goes to the stock dialer where I am required to press the call button again. This one is pretty annoying too because it pretty much precludes me from being able to dial numbers by voice commands from my BT headset. Each time, I have to get the phone out of my pocket and press "call" on the stock dialer to finish the dialing.
I never got any of those issues with the Galaxy Nexus... both ExDialer and Google Now dial numbers directly and don't do this. So any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!
EDIT: Probably should have mentioned that this is Cyanogen 11.0. I am holding off on upgradingt to Lollipop for the time being. So this is the stock Android dialer in Kitkat that we are talking about.

The issue persists after updating to CM12.1 . Does anyone have any ideas?
I should mention that after my initial post I found out that if I dial numbers with +359 (I am in Bulgaria) the issue doesn't happen and they are dialed directly, however if I try to dial the same numbers, starting with 0, which should be the normal way to do it, when dialing numbers in my own country, it always happens. If I use 0 the stock dialer pops up and I have to press "call" again and the calls go out. And if I use +country code, instead of 0, they are dialed directly from EXdialer or GoogleNow as they should be.
