Wake issues with newer ROMS

I am posting a new thread because I'm experiencing the issue with several diffrent ROMs so obviously it's a general issue not a ROM specific one. Also I have read through countless pages of posts with no luck so hopefully someone can shed some light. Over the past few days I've flashed (forgive my spelling) dude's .5, ravenge, cynogen 3.4 and I have been having issues with the phone not waking after either I put to standby myself or the screen times out. I know it's not an issue with my phone or card because I go back to virtudude's ROM without the issue. I have tried everything, formatting my partition, ext2, ext3, wipe, no wipe, everything I can think of and still have the issue accross mutiple ROMs. I know it's not just me because my friend with a G1 is having the same issue, as well as many people posting in the threads. Can someone please point me in the right direction to fix this issue please?
My phone:
G1 with JF 1.42
Newest SPL 2005
Newest 26I radio
8gb SD card, class6, ext2 or ext3 partition (same issue on either)
Thanks in advance for any help!

me too
I noticed this same problem, its related to wifi, when I disable wifi my phone wakes up, also I have searched everywhere too for a solution. I think the compiled wifi deiver in these roms are not compiled right. So its either this or some other problem.

Is your phone connected to wifi with wpa2 personal? One other thing I noticed is this happens at random, when it does happen adb and ddms say device is offline when the led is blinking, also bottom of phone gets hot.
Can any devs shed some light on what exactly happens when the phone shuts off? Because something is locking the phone up when the light goes off and is in standby.

I am doing a test, im leaving wifi on while the screen is off in settings, will report back

This happens to me also but its only with hero I also have the new radio and spl. I can run hero with no problems as long as I don't use apps to sd or lucids txt. The wired thing is that after I use any apps to sd it works great but only for a day sometimes a few hours. Then I will start to see freezing up or it won't wake up at all, unless I reboot or pull battery. I've tried to reformat my card, resize my partition I'm also lost on this one fresh out of ideas.

Do you guys think it might have somthing to do with the sdcards? Im useing a 4g class 6 transcend micro SD, its only about 2 weeks old. Jason what other roms gave you these problems?

I personnally don't see the correlation between locking and WiFi, I was at work the other day and flashed a ROM and it was doing it. I have my WiFi off at work so that wouldn't have been the case that day. I do notice the bottom of the phone getting hot though.
In response to the other person with the sd card question I really don't think it's that as I have a class 6, have formatted every way possible. Unless the issue has to do with apps2sd, I use apps2sd on every ROM.
Glad to see I'm not the only crazy one on xda!

Almost every ROM to come out in the last couple weeks has done it. TheDude's .5, Ravenge's ramjet, Cyanogen's 3.4.1, and the Cyanogenized Rogers ROM.
You know looking at these the one thing these all have in common is being Cyanogenized. And the only ROM to come out in the past few weeks that hasn't had that issue is Virtuedude's Rogers ROM, which isn't Cyanogenized.
If any devs are reading this thread if you can make a version of your most recent ROM without Cyan's build kernel and boot and see if that helps. I'd be happy to test it for you to try and get to the bottom of this. If you wanna shoot me an email hit up jasonsyn at gmail.

I've had the same problem, but for me it started after flashing Cyanogen's 3.4 release. Since then I've reverted back to his 3.3.3 release and everything is fine again. Perhaps it has something to do with the new SPL and these ROM's?
That seems to be the one constant among all of us with problems, we've all flashed the new SPL and radio.
EDIT: I asked cyanogen about it, we'll see what he says.

Yeah but I've had the new SPL and Radio for a month and this just started a week or so ago...

I am having the exact same issue. I usually have wifi bluetooth and 3g disabled (saves battery) I noticed this started after grabbing the new spl, ever since it's been freezing in standby randomly. I'm going to try Virtudude's rogers rom to see if the combination of Cyanogen's boot image and the new spl is causing the freezing. Hopefully seeing as Virtududes rom isn't based on Cyanogen's boot image it won't freeze. I'll report back with my results.

I thought my button got worn out. I never had the symptoms on rc33. When I switched to cupcake back during hatkuros prime just before dudes first releases I noticed it. I thought if it wasn't my button it might be somehow related to jf kitchen since almost all my roms touch it at some point. Just speculation though, donno what causes it.

Hey what recovery image are you all running?
I'm gonna flash the new Cyanogens 1.2 Recovery image and see if that's the issue.

Ok so how gay is this? I just hung up from a phone call and the phone is stuck sleeping! I was using it and it won't wake up, this is so incredibly frustrating!!
I have the new recovery image, 3.4.1, and still issues.

try holding down menu or the power button...i had this issue and my sd card would "unmount unexpectedly" and then this ended up into my sd bein fried

for those who are having this issue, try saving a log of it from ddms after that adb shell reboot thats what ive been doing ... instead of removing the battery, though my issues seem to happen every 24 hours i was on cy's 1.1 just flashed 1.2 perhaps that was is the issue?.. either way... we should try to collect all the info we can while this is happening to us.

Ok I'll be happy to but I'm a linux virgin...would you mind giving me step by step in adb and I'll give whoever the log that can make sense of it.

This happens to me also on The Dudes Roger built. I don't have WiFi enabled so it isn't that it seems pretty random and just I get no response from the phone and have to so the soft reset (Call Menu Power) and then it'll work again. Normally only happens like once a day though so I can live with it but it is a inconvenience and can be annoying if it does it when you actually need to use your phone for something with some importance.

well if you're on linux and have it to where adb runs from terminal , just type
Code:
adb shell reboot
but before all that ddms (dalvik monitor) just type ddms in terminal it will boot up and show everything your phones basically working with.. and issues,
now if your linux terminal doesnt work well with adb (cant get it to work , google "50-android.rules" and "51-android.rules" n see if those help, and also set your echo path right )
now if you're on windows just hit windows key + r type cmd , and set yourself into the sdk/tools directory, then type ddms that will start the dalvik monitor (try and save a log) make sure the log saves before rebooting the phone, when you're done you can just ctrl+c and type adb shell reboot, and your phone should reboot.
[just the basic]

i've ran into this intermittently...most of the time while using the browser or using the onscreen keypad during a phone call.
I'm on JF CRB43(which is 1.51 i think) with the Hard SPL and JF Recovery.
Only thing I've been able to do to get the phone to wake up is wait. eventually it'll come around. or pull the battery, which i try not to do.

HELP!!! serious problem.... help please!!

Hello there,
I have a serious problem. A while ago i flashed the energy rom to my device and it worked great. Now i can't use my phone anymore because it was a beta version? I've searched the forum, and i saw more of you got the same problem.
And i've read that it's possible to reinstall windows on my device but..
I typed serious import texts with notefolio and windows note creator program thing, i need it for my job,, Is there any way to retrieve those text files? It's not on my SD card, so it must be in the internal memory.. ****
My laptop makes a sound when i connect the USB cable, nut i can't see my touch pro in ''my computer'', it seems it won't connect...
Please please help me i'm desperate
thanks allready
Greatings,
Bouke

Mine just did the same thing and im about to leave the country. Have any suggested new builds?

Energy Rom Craps Out
My phone has also taken the time trial sleep, any help before I reflash. XDA should make it known that acts such as this do not happen again. I have donated to the development of this site, now wondering why & if I will do it again. Please help with a fix other than reflashing.

Moved as not ROM Development.

I dont think theres any way to undo this thing. just happend to me this morning. I was able to get a start menu, but all the apps I start, start under the message.
BUT, since I got enough reminders that this version I flashed was going down, I see not more than to just accept this failure .
So I held down the vol- button en pressed the reset button with my stylus, now I its flashing a new ROM.
Good luck

yea i tried that aswell, but everyting is beneeth the message.
And indeed it's a huge FAIL from the energy rom developer
I'm still hoping for some reactions that may help recovering my valuable text files..
If i flash a new rom it will erase all the data on the phone memory including text files notefolie etc. right?
Greatings

unfortunately yes. as far as i know there is no chance of getting them out of there. but you installed a custom and private made rom - that is to some extend alsways a risk and you should back up all the things you have on your phone when you do this.
good luck

i too want to get a few things out of the phone.
the stuff that still works is htc sense, and anything started directly out of sense, but not any shortcuts to programs.
you can access it by locking the phone, then unlocking it.
it will give me access to sense ui.
so i'm now pretty much looking for anything that's left to help me start a backup program.
any ideas on how to add a program as a service?
maybe with sd autostart.
does that still work?
all we need is to get the phone to run one lousy backup app.
maybe even automated.
we need ideas! ;-)

My phone locks on long end key.
If I press that and unlock again, the expiry message disappears for a while.
Sense and some Programs started directly from within work. Not the home screen links
However, I cannot start programs from links or access the internal memory.
Is there any way to read this while in "boot screen" mode?

If you can get some things to work, then pull your sim card out, and sync to a pc. If the syncing works, set the pc's date back a few days, and see if the rom starts working normally, then back up what you need and re-flash.
If you can't sync, just try to fix the date on your phone. A soft reset may be required.

Doesn't work as Sense crashes when I try to set the date.
Maybe it works for other people.
Sync does not work as that is blocked.
I tried changing the timezone immediately after it locked but that didn't work either.
So I suspect changing the date back wouldn't do you any good.
In other words: I don't see any way to recover any data from internal memory.
I'm going to do a hard reset now as I don't have time for this.
I conclude that whoever decided or implemented this timebomb as is, is a complete asshole and I hope he gets eaten by wolves in his sleep.
Disabling a product after a beta phase and/or forcing customers to update is perfectly fine, destroying their data in the process is unacceptable.

Gee, Office 2010 is a beta release, and came with a time-bomb. Maybe you should call microsoft and tell them to suck it since your custom rom didn't live up to your expectations.

I totally agree with that. I don't have time for it either, and i've already told my supervisor the good news..
Does anyone know a good working smooth ROM without the crappy time bomb thing?

[Q] problem with calling and radio. Please Help!!

so im having an issues with the phone app on my inspire. im currently running Android Revolution 5.1.10 with radio 12.54.60.25_26.09.04.11_M2 with matching RIL.
When i try to place a call when inside of the app and clicking on the person that i want to call it will go to the dialing screen and after about three seconds the phone will beep and it will not complete the call. almost as if the call is dropped. i end up repeating the process about three or four times before it actually goes through and i hear ringing. i also intermittently have problems sending text messages. and both of these problems seem to happen at the same time but there is no set schedule for when they will actually happen. im starting to think it might be the radio im using(which is the one recommended on the ARHD thread) but i don't want to re-flash the radio if that's not the issue.
Im also having a problem where after reboots some of my app icons will not show up and it will not show the icon picture meant for it. it will just show the default android icon. ive found that unmounting my sd card and remounting it will fix the issue but it always happens again after i reboot it. The curious thing about this is that i dont have any of my apps installed on the SD card but it seems as if the icon picture is stored on the SD card somewhere and then not getting loaded properly after reboot.
Does anyone have any idea on these two issues? any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have had a very similar problem with my Inspire 4g. From who I have talked to with AT&T it seems to be a network issue in some areas that are using the towers that were, at one time, cingular towers. They have told me it should be fixed in the next couple of months.

thanks for the quick reply! .. i guess i will just wait it out for now.

No problem. I know it's pretty unfortunate that their network still has so many flaws in them. Perhaps if the government would allow the take over of T-Mobile we could see better coverage and network reliability in the near future!

In regards to your icons, the problematic apps are on the phones internal storage or on your SD card?

Hmmm. I know it's a known issue with sense-based roms, that if apps are on the SD, and in a folder, when you reboot, their icons will be the white/green generic. Changing the skin to something else and then changing it back to your preferred skin makes them reappear.
If it is happening to you with apps on internal storage and not in folders, then maybe a full wipe and a reflash?
Have you restored anything from a previous ROM using titanium backup? That can also cause weird things to happen.

i may have to try a full wipe and and reflash then, and then reflash my radio and RIL. i havent restored anything from titanium backup BECAUSE of the problems it causes when you do. i learned that lessen about 90 flashes ago the only thing that i can imagine might be causing it is if somehow the apps actually ARE on the SD and im just dumb. i should add that i didnt perform a full wipe when upgrading from ARHD 10.1.9 to ARHD 10.1.10 but i just downloaded 10.1.11 and i think im going to do a clean install. unless you have any other roms that you can recomend that i might be better off with? i like a close to stock look but i also want the Unity O/C deamon. and no Sense 3.0.

Well, by the looks of it, you're well aware of the virtues of clean installs, so you might as well go with what you're already working with and do the clean install of 10.1.1, and see how that pans out.
I've been running inspired ace for so long, and everything just works, and I don't feel like screwing it up atm, lol, so I can't offer much along the lines of alternative recommendations.

I just wanted to give everyone and update and say that I ended up performing a full wipe on my phone and reinstalling Android revolution 10.1.11 with matching radio and RIL. After the initial setup and putting all of my stuff back on I realized that I was having the same issue with calling. I then went to my installed apps and noticed that I had the call delay patch app installed, uninstalled it and rebooted the phone . Phone is now functioning better than ever ! For now at least lol

Glad to hear it. Another Android Miracle!
Thanks for posting back, I for one like to see how people get things resolved, and it's good for future visitors with similar issues to see how someone worked it out.

HELP! SGS4G Multiple issues: no sound in calls, music, and screen remains on in call!

I have been experiencing some issues with my phone recently. I have flashed multiple roms and everything was working fine for the past 3 months or so. Last week I flashed Hebrew Valhalla, it worked fine for a few days then all hell broke lose! I started experiencing the following issues with the phone:
1. In calls, people can hear me but I cannot hear them through the front speaker. I have to either put it on speakerphone or use my headphones.
2. Whenever I cannot hear people in calls (issue #1 above) then there is also no sound coming from the back speaker when I play music. It only works with headphones.
3. Sometimes when I play music, sound only comes from the phone's speaker. Yes the tables literally turn! Even if I plug in headphones, it keeps playing through the phone's speaker. I use stock music player no mods nothing and yes my headphones and their jacks are good I tried multiple ones.
4. The screen does not turn off while in calls. I used 2 apps to test the proximity sensor and it is working fine. Sometimes when on a call the screen randomly turns on and off but most of the time it remains on.
5. Although the vibration intensity is set to max, when typing, the intensity is random. Sometimes it is strong, other times it is weak. Completely random and it is only for typing. It works fine for notifications and pressing back button or whatever. The keyboard is swype and it used to work fine before.
SOMETIMES when I reboot the phone, Issues #1,2 and 3 fixes themselves; I can hear people in calls, music works fine both in speaker and headphones when necessary, but issue #4 is persistent.
The phone has not taken any falls/hits or anything, so I doubt it can he hardware related? So I assumed it is software related, I went to flash other roms, including the ones I used previously that was working fine and still nothing!!! I even flashed Heimdall one click and started from scratch, and still the same problems in the stock rom.
I have spent days searching all over to no avail. Please if anyone knows the solution or workaround to any of the issues above it will be greatly appreciated!!!!!

How old is the phone? If I were you and it's still under warranty I would consider a handset exchange through your phone provider, and if you choose that method make sure you go back to stock an unroot first before you send
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA

Cannot do
The warranty has long expired, so that's not an option.

Look for the Gremlin Remover in the Dev section.

Trying
I have been trying for the past 5 hours to get the GR to connect to the phone but it just is not working. I have tried installing and uninstalling all drivers rebooting phone, pc, remove battery everything and it just does not work!!!
The only time GR connects to the phone is when it is starting up, or when the os has loaded up fully. whenever I reboot to download mode it disconnects and never connects back to odin when in download mode. What am i doing wrong? I used the drivers in the GR file but it does not work.
Can anyone link to the drivers that will make odin see the phone while in download mode?

Look at the guide in the second link of my signature. Read the notes about drivers, odin and heimdall. You need to completely, thoroughly and patiently make sure you remove them all.
Go to the wiki for the samsung drivers or use kies mini to install the drivers. ODIN is a samsung software and they use the same drivers.

Still not working
So I found the right drivers and just finished flashing GR twice and the problems are still there. after flashing GR the second time I just flashed Hebrew Valhalla and the problems are still there
I really dont think there is anything else I can do?

Did you do ALL of the steps that Thomas posted? Not just the flashing GR.

Yes I did all the steps: 1, 2 then 3, not the "Filesystem Cleaner" part.

You have nothing to lose doing all the steps.

Ok I will do the Filesystem Cleaner part now and update in a while
EDIT:
I installed the android SDK to connect to adb. Thomas's instructions says to go to recovery mode, but the pc only see's the phone as adb when the phone is booted up in normal mode, not when it is in recovery mode.
I used the universal driver installer, is there specific adb drivers for recovery mode?

So before I got the adb to work I kept rebooting the phone and pushed and removed the headphones in the headphone jack multiple times and I was suprised everything started working. I could how hear people in calls, the screen turned off fine during a call, music worked fine. Rebooted again and everything still worked fine! My memory card was formatted so I copied back some of the files that were on it (music, pictures and apk installers for certain apps, and titanium backup folder). I went to install my apps from the apk's not titanium backup, so I did not restore any data just fresh install the apk's....
.....Rebooted the phone and all the problems came back!!!! I tried uninstalling the apps and reboot multiple times but the problems remained, so I said I will try the entire process again.
Ok so I found the drivers and completed ALL the steps now including the adb stuff and the filesystem cleaner. The status was already clean but I still ran the cleaner just to be safe. Then I flashed Gremlin Remover again and the problems still exist. I flashed Octane 3, problems still exist. flashed Hebrew Valhalla and the problems were still there...rebooted multiple times and the incall volume is working FOR NOW, but the screen does not turn off anymore.
I pushed the headphones in and out many times as it worked the first time but it made no difference now. I really do not know what more is there to do

How are calls just using your phone? No headphones. If things were fine before restoring your sd card shouldn't that tell you there is a good chance something on your sd card is messing with your phone?
You should start over again. Be thorough. Do all the Gremlin Remover steps. Leave your sd card fresh after format. Install apps one at a time with time between from the playstore. Don't mess with your headphones yet. And see what state your phone is in.
It could be your phone. An app. Your sd card or some data on it. Or your headphones. Process of elimination.

Do you have accidental damage insurance? Hammer anyone?lol
Seriously though, with using the gremlin remover and system cleaner processes, everything bad should have been removed. However, you stated that the problems reoccoured after restoring your sdcard. My guess would be either a virus (yes it is possible to get a virus or malicious file on our phones) or a corrupt file/files that is contained in your files that you restored to your sdcard. As much of a pain in the ass it may be, you should restore each file one by one and test. Once the issue reoccours, then you know what is the cause. there are some directories/files you should not restore:
Code:
.android_secure
.cache
Android
CachedImages
data

As lumin said, everything worked fine until you restored your sdcard...

How are calls just using your phone? No headphones. If things were fine before restoring your sd card shouldn't that tell you there is a good chance something on your sd card is messing with your phone?
You should start over again. Be thorough. Do all the Gremlin Remover steps. Leave your sd card fresh after format. Install apps one at a time with time between from the playstore. Don't mess with your headphones yet. And see what state your phone is in.
It could be your phone. An app. Your sd card or some data on it. Or your headphones. Process of elimination.

Sadly, this is where I am right now. I did start all over again, formatted the card and only put Hebrew, Octane and Anton's kernel. This is all that is on the card, when I installed them some of the default folders were created. I am yet to put anything else on the memory card, and at the time of this typing I only have basic market apps installed, nothing from transferring from pc to memory card or anything.
1. I have fully cleaned the system using all the steps in GR so I doubt the problem can be with the software on the phone.
2. I doubt it can be an app causing it because even after restoring the official rom just after GR it still does not work.
3. I am not sure if it can be the memory card, since I formatted it so many times, if it had a virus shouldn't it be gone by now? Not sure, just asking. I have some other memory cards handy I will format them and start back from square one again to see how it goes.
4. As for the headphones, I tried different headphones all the same thing. If anything then the problem about the incall sound might be with the headphone port itself. Maybe the phone's hardware or something in that port got stuck or something just something that is making the phone detect a headphone when there is actually none, maybe that's why...that's the most plausible thing I can think of relating to the incall and music volume. Now since I pushed it and out multiple times that maybe fixed it? Not sure..
As for the screen not going off I have no idea; so I will do everything again using a new memory card, not restoring anything, only install market apps one at a time and let you know how it goes.

I followed all the instructions down to the last letter. Did everything over. Removed battery left for some time. Formatted new memory card and only put the cleaner, one mp3 song for testing, Octane and Anton's kernel on it. Did the adb cleaning. Flashed Gremlin Remover. Left for 15 min. Flashed Octane and then Anton's kernel. Reboot and waited 15 min. Did not install anything whatsoever. First thing I did: make a call and play the mp3 file and suprise!! All the problems were still there. Nothing changed. Screen still remained on, no sound in call, no sound from music player; only through headphones like in square 1. Pissed off to the max.
I quit.

Honestly, if you did all that, your device should be running it's best ever... You may have some sort of hardware malfunction. Even after trying different ROMs you still have the same issues correct?
I can tell you, I started experiencing some really bad things (not near as bad as yours) after I flashed a ROM WIP, and it took me several flashes to get my phone up and working again. But the only thing that was even remotely hardware related was the mis-calibration of the screen... I have to say, your problem is one of a kind...
However, have you tried pulling a logcat to see if by some chance there was something in there?

I don't know anything about logcat and how to interpret it. I see nearly 20k lines of text when I did it, what exactly should I look for?
I added it to my dropbox account if it is going to be helpful, here is the link:
This is the logcat I saved from my phone. Click it

I'm almost positive that it's some mechanical/electrical problem with the headphone jack. Something is stuck there, or it's dirty, so the controller erroneously detects like something is always plugged in. Hint: you said earlier that it suddenly started working when you were actively plugging-unplugging headphones.

Yes I believe so too. I will try to open the phone to see what I can find concerning the headphone issue.
What about the screen not going off? Any suggestions?

Issues with calls and various other things.

Hello! Here I am with my Q.
I got it last week, rooted w/o BL unlock, then a few days later I went to Moto to unlock the boot loader. all went well. (AHAHA, They worded the terms for the unlock as if EVERYTHING at ONCE will break. It seems to me that this has become reality.)
Then I had issues with GPS and Camera not working at all.
With each flash I got one or the other working, not usually both.
Now Both Camera and GPS are working wonderfully. Here's the kicker, I've found that calls are not working well.
I make calls, they go through but end shortly after they start with silence. when you attempt to end the call, it wont do it, or it will about 5 minutes after end has been pressed.
On receiving calls, often times it wont come through at all, if it does there's a chance that you wont get to pick it up. It will act like the caller has hung up. Missed call. Some times it will let it through, and a few seconds in and go to silence.
Here was my process.
1. Rooted with Motochopper. Played around in stock for a while then got fed up with it and all of it's bloat. Not to mention horrible batterylife.(Still has horrible battery life on CM, even when underclocked.)
2. Unlocked bootloader via Motorola.
2a flashed OpenRecovery, CM10.1 (Yes the CDMA version)and gapps.
3. Yay CM. Sadly, nothing works right. (Yes there were wipes.)
4. Was suggested to flash JB FXZ, did that.
5. Flashed TWRP and CM+Gapps. (No camera, but GPS worked.)
5a. Flashed 5/20 Build. Camera worked but no GPS.
5b. Flashed 5/26 build over 5/20 and both Cam and GPS work now.
The call issues were persistent throughout all of the builds I tried.
5/20 5/23 5/26

Please help me diagnose this.
I'm not looking for "It's you/your device/doin' it wrong/works for me" or "go back to stock"
I'm looking for help. I need a working device.
Here's some logs with a test call.
it failed about 2 sec in. Skype hung up due to dead line. Phone wont hang up.
Radio reset, data resync.
then I powered off the device after it 'hung up'(radio reset)(If I dont hit hang up, the call timer will continue count up)

Halp!

Bump?

I've been having the same call issues, with every rom except stock.

Sounds like you tinkered alot.
I suggest you do a full reflash with rsd/ stock rom. Since u have unlocked bootloader I suggest you to install custom recovery like twrp or cwm. That will also root your device. After that retry flashing cm10.1 nightly and gapps exactly as described in their threads.
Everything else would be tinkering around broken builds. So start with fully clean device through rsd.
Also about the gps problem: it is suggested to get a gps lock on stock rom before installing aftermarket rom.

I'm having the same problem, I've RSD'd to stock and all that stuff too. I ALWAYS clean install. Yet I'm having this problem on most roms. I haven't tried any kernels yet, so maybe that would help things but I dunno. I'm gonna play around with that some time and figure it out.

This is the first I have ever heard of this type of issue...
Logs please, with thorough detail on what happened. I can't recreate this, and 99% of others can't either (or just put up with a non-functional phone. Seems doubtful...)
Edit - as far as I know, the OP has fixed all of the issues they were having... maybe they can chime in with the process, but my kernel would have nothing to do with cell service.

Alright, here's a logcat... it's weird, I can only hear the first word they say and vice versa. Then the call gets quiet but stays connected. Then after clicking hang up, the call isn't really hung up. I have to go back to the dialer and click hang up again. Then, after a minute or so I'll hear the hang up tone and it'll finally hang up. I'm doing clean installs so I'm not sure what's going on here. Hopefully this will help resolve this issue, 'cus it's a huge problem for me :/
EDIT: Just flashed a stock rom and I'm not having this issue at all.
Sent from that one MoPho... Q

Anyone have a clue what's going on with my phone?
