Recently i have been getting phone calls, the past few times from the same person...the odd thing is they aren't calling me and i'm not calling them. It shows on both of our ends that we're receiving calls. It just happened to be about 20 minutes ago where i got a call from a friend of mine, she said i called her and i was no where near my phone. Then i got a call from someone i havn't spoken to in a long time (again he didn't call me)
It's really becoming irritating, i just ran some virus scans, cleaned caches and restarted. Has anyone else heard of this happening? Or is something bigger to blame then my phone...

I've had this phone since the end of Feb and it has never done this. This past weekend, my wife and I, were over at a friends house and we kept getting pestered on my phone by an idiot who wanted to start stuff with us. Point is, during that time my phone was passed to 3 ppl besides my wife and I. One of them, not my wife, pushed something and now all calls are through the speaker. Do any of you know how to keep the speaker from coming on everytime I make or receive a call or where the setting is to keep it from doing that? My phone is bone stock and non rooted. I have searched, read the manual cover to cover, and looked through all the settings with no answer. It is extremely annoying to have to shut the speaker off everytime I go to make or receive a phone call. Prior to this weekend it was never like that. Any help to resolve this will be much appreciated.

You could try emailing the HTC support site. They resolved a similar issue with me in a day, in that case it was volume always at max during a call when I had a head set on with no volume control, along with a strange status icon. I had inadvertently selected a buried setting that is for the hearing impaired. No one on this forum helped after two days so gave HTC a shot at it, and they came through.
Ok, Kool. I'll try that, thanx.

I had that same problem, but I fixed it by flashing another ROM.

Called HTC and they wanted me to factory reset my phone. I told them I couldn't do it right then and would do it later in the evening. They said before I got off the phone with them, if a reset didn't work to call warranty and get it exchanged. Well, before I could perform the reset, my phone surprisingly stopped doing it. Dunno what corrected it but was glad it was gone. A couple days later, it returned for only 3 phone calls. What I figured out was that it is connected with the car panel app. You need to use an app like Watchdog, which I got the free paid version when it was the daily freebie from Amazon, find the Car Panel process and "kill" it and it will stop. When you close it out it just goes to the backround. You need to close the process to get it to stop. I am gonna call HTC back and let them know how I corrected it, so people who dont come to forums like this one and calls HTC they have a solution other than a factory reset.

hey,
I bought the nexus s (9023) about two months ago, stock rom, not rooted, and for the last week or two, it started making problems.
about 1-5 times a day, i can't here the other side at all. as if it's on mute. not even the ringing tone, before I'm answered. the only thing that solves it, is to restart the phone.
in other forums i've read that it's a mess, and that i should use my warranty. the problem is i bought the phone abroad, and shipping it should take about 3 weeks.
is it a common issue?
can i solve it alone, mabye by switching to a non-stock rom?
i'll be very happy to read some good news here, but bad news is better than non.
thanks a lot,
tal
p.s, iv'e downloaded system info to monitor the temp, and it doesn't happen necessarily when the phone is hot.
I don't know... I am rooted, I have used 5 different roms since purchasing my phone.
Stock
CM 7
Savaged Zen
Oxygen
Soju
I have also used several kernels
CM Stock
Netarchy
Matrix
James Bond
Trinity
So far, on all roms and kernels I have experienced the same problem. You make a call and it connects, looking at the screen the time counter is going but there is no sound; it will sit there and hold the call for 30-55 seconds then ends call. A quick redial and bam it works. Some people have reported that they answered and there was nothing. I don't know, it's really obnoxious.
The other, more annoying problem is that randomly on calls throughout the day the phone will just reboot itself. Right in the middle of a call. AHHHH like 3-5 times daily!
help, anyone?
i'm stuck with this, and a bit clueless.
Well, somehow I discovered that the problem is related to the bluetooth. as long as it's turned of, nothing will happen, on the other hand, when I use my earphone (most of my conversations happen while driving) i need to restart my phone every 1-2 calls
any ideas?
just u can't hear other one while calling u?
thanks.
so it was in the beginning, but now neither of us can hear the other. no matter who made the call.
and again, only when BT is working.

hehee its problem ,
am really disappointing with nexus s , but i dont have enough money to buy HTC product again.
any solution?
Hi, did anybody have any solution to this problem?
I live this problem on almost half calls of specific numbers.
I am desparate...
Try setting discoverable timeout to never? Have you tried a different Bluetooth device?
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using xda premium
I have this problem too. This seem to happen on some Kangs and nightly, but not all of them. I can't hear when someone calls me. But when I call someone, I can hear them. I always have Bluetooth off (do not use them).
I live the same problem. No problem for outgoing calls. For incoming calls, I cannot hear caller's voice but they can hear me. It is not for all numbers.
I am on t-mobile and nexus s (cynagenmod nightlies). For all incoming calls from tmobile numbers no problem. But for almost all other carriers, it is just random.
I feel like I started having this problem after updating from CM 7.0.2 to 7.1 RC and thereafter(but not very sure on this).
If anybody still following this topic, I would suggest you to contact samsung if you still have warranty. On the second attempt they sent me a brand new phone with box and accessories.

Or, you might give it a try with a different radio for your model:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1116884
If you go this road, make sure you backup your EFS folder.
What i would do is if it is still in warranty just give it back to them and they'll probably give you a new phone. Since you said it takes 3 weeks to ship, just wait for it and use another phone if possible. Its not like your life is going to end. I think the problem is, not every phone is the same so there will be problems especielly when flashing a rom. For example unstable roms might not allow you to use this app or have serious effects on your phone.
Best to give it back to samsung and get a replacement.
Something very weird just started happening with my SamChg.
When I am a few minutes into a phone call (about 3 - 4 minutes), all audio drops out on both sides of the call. The call is still connected, but neither side hears anything anymore.
I did a factory reset on the phone, but it didn't make a difference.
What can be causing this? If I can't use my smartphone as a phone, I'm screwed!
are you running any special ROM or anything because its happening to me as well
I have been having the same problem for almost a month now. I was rooted when this started happening. I went back stock still happened. New 4g card still happened. Another phone still happened. I have been getting the runaround from verizon the whole time they have no clue what is going on.
On a side note asked a friend that works at a little vzw store if they have seen this problem and sure enough she had. She told me that they had a customer go through 4 phones and she started making calls and was told by Customer Support that it was a known thing and there was a software update coming out for that.
After hearing this I called good ole *611 yet again and they were clueless and said they knew nothing about it. *sigh*

Yes, I am running a custom ROM, but it's basically a stock rooted & voodoo'd EE4 ROM (by danalo1979, I think). It's got all the yucky poo-brown colors and all the bloatware.
Same issue here. I'm running completely stock right now, non-rooted. Sometimes the audio will drop at the onset of placing a call (I won't even hear ringing) and sometimes it will happen a few minutes into a call. Other parties do say they can hear me though.
Personally, I've noticed that this problem only happens when I am also connected to a Wireless Network. If I'm running 4G/3G, sometimes I hear echos of my voice, but the audio won't drop out.
Weird, but glad to know others are having this issue and that VZW is aware it's happening.
What should we do? Personally, I'd like to wait for the SG2 to arrive before I start complaining. My plan would be to basically flip out explaining that I need my phone to work like a phone, etc. Then flip out that I paid for 4G and my decision was battery based (so I don't get stuck with a Thunderbolt). I bet I could talk my way into a new SG2 over this... Just saying.

Well they do not tell me they know what is wrong they tell me they have no clue. I even explained to them somebody there does know as they have explained the issue to someone else that has had the problem but I still get they you just need another phone speel.
I don't have this problem watch as soon as I try to make a call the audio drops...

same, don't have this problem but i probably just jinxed it.
I've had this happen a couple times too...hard to pinpoint consistency. The other thing I've encountered more than once, is that my mic seems to go off mid-conversation, e.g. I can still hear the person on the other end very clearly, but they can't hear me. Anyone else experience this?

I've experienced that. But I'm not so sure I'm not just covering the mic with my finger.
I was on nluetooth, with the phone in the cupholder... Don't think my finger was involved.

Well 2nd Fru and as I told them it would. It does the same thing. Bone stock. *sigh*
One thing that seems odd to me is that I seem to see this problem more when calling another mobile phone vs. a landline.
Maybe it's just my imagination, but I always see problems when calling my wife's mobile phone. Last night, I called a landline for over an hour without any problem.
same here I can talk to customer service for 1hr+ but mobile to mobile most Ican get is maybe 15 min.
I drive around as part of my job and today I tested a call out to my wife who has a charge as well and we were able to talk for over 20 minutes with no issues. That same area I drove through a few days ago caused 3-4 drops in audio before. So in my opinion its a network related issue and hopefully its get fixed 100% cause most of us need our phones to work solidly
To the people losing audio during their calls, can you post your location?
The reason why I ask this is because on the Verizon forums there is an eight page post about this issue. Seems like a lot of people in Arizona are experiencing this. I'm in Chandler, Az and have this issue, especially when calling other VZW people in AZ.
Can't post links yet but check the VZW community forum for the Charge.

I see your question was already answered in the General forum. Better to post here first.
I went back and saw that... My mistake, I didn't know however that prankowl existed... I'm hoping that their block number thing is legit. I'm just happy I don't have to exchange my phone due to some odd factory malfunction

Hi everyone,
I'm having some issues with my one x. Sometimes (happens a few times a day) I won't receive text/mms unless I send a text out first. Then all of a sudden a wave of incoming texts would come in once I send the text out. I get all 5 bars and it still happens. 'm stock and using Hand cent.
How do you resolve this issue?
Having a similar issue.. mines with sending and receiveing. Even with full tower sometimes they dont send without airplane mode being turned on and off.
What rom are you on, if any? I'm having the same issue from time to time and it is really irritating getting delayed texts. I don't know if it is a rom issue but I am on Viper 1.2.3.

I'm on stock 2.20. Yeah, it's actually pretty weird. I won't receive any texts till I send a text out. Then a wave of incoming
Texts come in after 30 seconds of me sending out a text.
If you haven't done anything to the phone - I'd be contacting the provider... Might be network issues...
See if you have the same issues with your sim in another phone...

I used to have this issue when I was using stock and I would walk into or out of a Wifi area. Texting would just not work for 10 minutes or so. Haven't had the problem since ROMing
Does anyone know how to get to the screen where you can turn LTE on and off? (you had to input some numbers and dial it)
I remember trying to mess around with that and the setting was probably wrong. What is the correct setting?
That sucks dude - do you have the same problem in another phone though? If you do it's going to be a network issue - so you'd need to contact AT&T.
