Difficulty Answering Calls

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?

[Q] Skype keeps screen on permanently

Hi, when someone tries to call me using Skype and im not able to answer it, the screen will stay on permanently!
Is there a way to disable this? Like with Tasker?
Am I the only one with this bugged Skype? The problem remains even after a full wipe and freshly installed ROM

Is this happening only with skype? What is your sleep time under settings->display?

OK Google fails on dialer and call Skype!

[Q] Screen doesn't light up when receiving call

Hello everybody,
I have this problem that's more than annoying and that I really couldn't find a solution to. I've tried finding someone with the same issues but couldn't. The problem is, when someone is calling me, my phone rings, but the screen doesn't turn on, only the capacitive buttons do. I didn't have this problem before, but after installing some stuff it appeared. I don't really know what caused it and how to fix it. I have XPERIA Z FIRE SERIES 5 rom for Tipo, Nova launcher and running Crystal 2 theme. Could any of those possibly cause the problem? I can't see the number thats calling me and it's hard to answer the call since I can't see the buttons either. Aside of that, I have one other problem. My phone ram is allways on ~400 without any app turned on. I have a few apps for apps killing and clearing ram and I do that often but still it doesn't help since after cleaning it's back to like 95% in a matter of an hour. And even when I kill all the active processes and apps, my ram is still on like 65% usage. I don't know whats using it up, I can't run anything on the phone, I've deleted all the games since they lagged like hell, even the most simple ones that should run smoothly. Hell it laggs even when I have to unlock it, enter menu, call someone, do anything...
Well, thanks in advance for any advice that you have to offer.

It seems to me that your rom isn't bugfree... Flash a stock fimrware, and everythig should be pico bello . The RAM usage is strange, but the call issue isn't very rare, many people report this. Flashing a stock firmware will most likely fix this!
Have a nice day!

[Q] Incoming call does not trigger dialer screen

I'm having this issue where the phone doesn't react properly to an incoming call (stock ROM, unrooted).
The phone rings, but the dialer screen with the controls to answer the call does not come up. It doesn't help if the screen is already on, I'm just staring at my home screen while it rings. There's also no call icon in the notification bar. When the caller hangs up, I immediately get a missed call notification.
Rebooting the phone solves the problem for a while, but then it comes back. I tried reverting to the stock dialer with no luck. I'm thinking of reverting to the stock launcher as well, but I'm not sure it has anything to do with it. Other than that I'm running out of ideas.
I've searched the web and it looks like people are experiencing all sorts of variations on this problem, but not the exact same thing, and in any case I haven't seen anyone post a tested workaround.
Has anyone encountered something like this and maybe knows of a solution?

Did you try clearing the data of the phone app in settings > apps?
If not, try that

Problem on lollipop

When I receive a call, sometimes when I slide to answer the call it won't register the slide gesture. Is anyone else experiencing this or know how to fix this? Thanks.

Are you on Stock Lollipop? Custom Rom?

I'm on stock lollipop

Well, being on stock limits what you can do.
I would suggest a factory reset within the settings menu if you want to try and fix it. I haven't been on stock in awhile.

I've been running into, what I will call, hiccups with Lollipop as well. It will randomly freeze for 10 seconds and not register anything, which may be what you are seeing. If you keep trying the gesture, does it eventually work?

Eventually it will, but most of the time the call screen goes away before it registers. I tried a factory reset and that seems to be helping. Helped a lot with my memory problem.

dont get me started....

I have been having all sorts of issues with my S5 stock. The phone answers the calls on its own. When I call someone back, the phone is still ringing. I can call someone one minute and the next I lose signal and to reboot to fix it. I still love my S5, but right now I am torn between staying on stock and going back to the PAC ROM.
