Hi everyone
So I was just curious, I had some plans with my buddies today. My one friend who I'm supposed to pick up, when I've been calling his phone today it just rings once and then goes to voicemail or it does that weird half-ring thing, then one ring and then goes to his voicemail. I barely ever call people on the phone, and I know when someone is ignoring your call (you can usually tell because they'll hang up mid-ring or something). In this case it seems more like a process, because I've called him like 10 times because I'm supposed to be picking him up, and it does the same thing. Ring-Voicemail, or Ri-Ring-Voicemail.
I have no reason to suspect he'd block my number... But as I said I've never experience this before so I'm not sure what it means.

Yesterday my fuze started doing somthing strange. During an incoming call the bottom buttons started blinking rapidly as usual all except the hang up button and wouldnt stop even after i answered the call. It would occasionally randomly start flashing at random times and appeared to start when the lower pad was touched or jiggled. Anyone else with this?
I restarted and it hasnt done that again but the hang up button still doesn't flash. I cant remember though if it ever did. Can anyone help me out? Also there is a Speck of dust under the glass that drives me nuts but its not a huge deal, anyone else on this?
And finally like a lot of others i have a fuze with a terrible speaker/ringer. Also i've noticed i get feedback when im talking to people, almost as if im hearing a quiet voice of myself in the speaker as im talking. Not enough to be overly distracting but enough to notice...once again anyone?
The strange thing is though, i love the phone still. Too bad att doesnt have anything comparible for me to fall back on. Thanks for any observations anyone has.
ive been having the same problem with my Fuze where all the lower buttons (except the "end" button) begin to flash rapidly as if there's an incoming call, but there is no incoming call... Havn't been able to tell if its random or if its happening b/c of something im doing.. i will update once it happens a few more times and i know more... but for now, anyone have any ideas?
im glad to see im not the only one, i thought i had been imagining things. i have had the same trouble determining if it was something i caused or not as well. The first time it happened i was convinced it was merely a software issue but a few times i was able to get it to repeat by just tapping the bottom of the phone. can anyone let us know if the fuze is supposed to flash all but the end button wheb recieving a call?
I purchased a G1 from a third party, unfortunately When I powered it up It took me to The screen that has the exlamation point, and said it wasnt reading my SIM card and that I can only dial Emergency 911. That is the only thing that appears on the screen when I power it up. no matter what I do? I have an active T-mobile sim card with the data plan that works in other data phones, so I know thats not the issue. I have spoken to several T-mobile Tech support people and I am getting no where! They told Me that they could not do anything for me with no warranty. In the mean time I'm out a couple hundred bucks! The phone is brand new! I'm about 95% positive that it is a Hardware issue? T-mobile told me that it is basically just a paper weight? Frustrating!!!! Can anyone help? any Suggestions?

lol why are you asking about the g1 in a raphael/TP/Fuze forum?
and if you didn't buy it through tmobile i'd say you're out of luck. try contacting htc to see if tehy can do anything about it. also, try different sims, tmobile and nontmobile
Ever since I installed the AT&T leaked test ROM, my Fuze beeps twice when connecting on calls (right before the phone vibrates on connection). It only happens on outgoing calls that I make. I installed the new official AT&T ROM and it still beeps.
I've searched out there and found that some people had this problem with the HTC Wing. Alas, that registry fix does not work on my Fuze (cannot find the same key that they reference). I know other people are having this same issue (I've seen comments) but no one seems to have a solution.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
lol i wouldn't call it an issue , id mess with advanced config , im sure i saw something to do with the vibrating function there so maybe theres a beeping one too.

it's seriously the most annoying beeping sound I've ever heard on a phone...and it's loud! I seriously want my phone to stop doing this - so annoying.
Solution
So an update to my issue and how it was resolved.
At some point earlier this year I received a text message from an international phone number that I did not recognize (either Canada or Mexico I can't remember). There was no body to the text message, just blank delivered to my phone. I think this happened in late January or February. It was at this time, or shortly thereafter, that my phone starting "beeping" upon connecting phone calls. At the time, I had been trying different ROMs on my phone and believed it to be a ROM issue but it never went away, even with the new updated official ROM.
Fast forward to last week. I was looking over my detailed phone bill online and I noticed a line item called "OFFRCHSTDCMROAM" for which I was being charge $4.99 per month. I went back and looked through my billing history to see how far back this went and it first appeared on my bill in February. I called AT&T customer service to have the charge removed and my account credited for the past few months. They were more than willing to do this as neither they nor I had any idea what this charge was for.
Immediately after I get off the call with them I made a phone call and...no beep! Whatever that service was, it was the culprit in causing my phone to beep whenever it connected on outgoing phone calls. Now that's gone so is the beeping. So, if anyone else has this beeping problem they should check their detailed bill for this mysterious charge.
At 6:09am [EST] this morning (5/16), I received a call from a colleague of mine who indicated that my phone had called him 4 times at different intervals (12:26am,2:09am, 5:28am, 5:29am). When I saw his incoming call, I was like why's he calling me this early in the morning? I told him that I didn't call him and that I was still sleeping. Has anyone experienced this with their windows phone?
I did looked on my phone after getting off the phone with Marcelo at 6:09am and I noticed that my phone also called someone else [Jillian K] at 1:04am.
The last time I called [Jillian K.] was 5/15 - 3:06pm and after that, I made 3 more calls to 2 other people yesterday. However, I have not called Marcelo at all in some time.Other than Marcelo being among the 10 recipients that I texted regarding a game schedule early yesterday [5/15] around 11am.
Has anyone experience this? Thanks for your input.
I have attached a picture of the outgoing calls (w/the 1 incoming call from Marcelo)
Maybe you are sleepwalking
OT: no never had that
Yeah, I only know of drunk people that call at all hours of the night.
However, unrelated, I've had a similar problem, where my HD7 is screen locked in my pocket, I'll receive and miss a call, which unlocks the screen, and then the phone goes crasy bumping against my leg. Last time I had 3 outgoing calls before I heard the phone about to leave a voice mail.
Worst part was I had the phone on the coffee table the whole night.. unless there's a ghost in my apartment. I did noticed few things today -- I had IE tabs on the phone (3-4) that I didn't open. Later this noon, I received an email from Bank of Ameri. that someone tried to access my account online and was unsuccessful. Did logged in to check and to change my pwd.
The last app I bought was gMsg and I used it briefly to message my soccer group about game time. so may be the app is misbehaving?
I'll observe again tonite..
Have you developer unlocked your phone? What OS Version are you running? Have you ever flashed a ROM? Edit: On a related note, are you the first owner?
Figure it out?
which web sites were opened?

weird. Your proximity sensor should have prevented this.
Nothing? I was really curious about this lol.
Do you have any "weird" apps installed that might be causing this ?
Either that or you got a bugged phone dude.

Someone been using your phone: there's no doubt left in my mind.
I posted this thread 5/16 and since then several things have happened. For those asking about version, unlocked n etc. I'll answer all in one swoop.
First my Hd7 is dev unlocked but only apps like walkman7, tvshow7, wifi shorcuts, and etc. Haven't even used those in a while.
software version: nodo (as of today - decided to wait for final Mango)
I've no kids or wifey. Girlfriend was away on company business that week unless she suddenly acquired supernatural powers to control my phone from where she was.
Since i reported this, i've sent my phone in for volume button wiggling issue, so my device has been software reset (factory). Haven't seen it since. Also, at the time when I reported this, at least for 2 months, my phone just randomly reboot itself. I haven't had that happen since getting my phone back from HTC for the volume button fix and re-config of my phone from factory reset.
All I know is a factory reset seem to have fixed it for me. Keep in mind that after the fact. reset, I still went back to dev unlock my phone again and it has been great since. YMMV.
Anybody else have issues with their phone not receiving calls?
There have been a few times when people have told me that they tried calling me but I never picked up; however, the phone never rang, I never got a missed call notification or anything.
Today, I was looking for my phone and used the house phone to call it. I called it 3 times, it never rang once, it would ring but my HOX never made a sound. I found the phone and stood right next to it, called it, and nothing. As if I wasn't calling it (screen didn't light up, phone never rang).
Anybody else have this sort of issue? I was going to call ATT but they are closed for the holidays.

Well I think it's a valid assumption that they didn't sell you a phone that doesn't ring.
I had that problem with cleanrom and elementalx. Not sure what the problem was, ending up flashing jb from tachi91 and it went away.
But mine rang, but only for a split second, or I couldn't answer it, or it didn't ring but I had a missed call, even tho I was sitting right next to it

On ROMs that have been released from devs, it's a problem with the RIL.smali files in the framework. Simple patch, you just have to notify the dev of that ROM.

I've had this happen a lot with my stock HTC One S.
I have also had this happen but only with notifications on my XL. If my HTC One XL receives a text when on vibrate it will not vibrate half the time. I've watched it happen sitting on my table. I use CleanROM and ElementalX.

thanks for the replies.
should have specified that i'm running a stock rom.
this is my work phone and i can't root it (running the stupid good enterprise email app).
i'm about to backup my phone and try doing a full restore to see if it will solve the issue.
When I receive a call and slide the green phone symbol to answer, the caller never hears my first hello or two, only hears me after a few seconds go by.
At first I thought it was network related but it has happened in a few other places too including bluetooth in my car.
Any ideas where I can look for the problem?
Phone is unrooted.
Thanks.
Actually, now that I think of it... I believe I might have this issue as well. I can think of a handful of similar instances where this has happened, but it took this thread for my mind to connect the dots. Time to do some testing...
Yeap. Same here. I learned to be quiet for a few seconds. But then there are some like my brother who would get irritated that he doesn't hear me as soon as he picks up.
I really want to say this is an AT&T problem. I have been wondering the same thing. This also happens to me. But not just this phone. All my phones for the past two years. Including my n5. And if you search this problem in Google it's common on our network. And across many phones.
