The specs: Rooted stock ICS on SCH-I535 (Verizon). So, I was experiencing the copy-paste crash described here, and used this solution to solve it. Ever since that fix, the phone process crashes when making a call. Here's what happens.
1. Open stock dialer, make call. Call connects, but screen is black.
2. Message that com.android.phone has stopped comes up. I click "ok."
3. Icon in menubar disappears and reappears. When pulling down the menubar, the call info is there. Selecting the call (via the green phone icon) brings me back to the black screen, and the stopped message reappears. I can end the call using the controls there, though.
4. Bringing up the Phone app while on the call brings me back to the stock dialer screen, but hitting keypad buttons there doesn't affect the call that I'm on. (i.e., if I'm in an automated system call, there are no keytones received by that system.)
5. When call is ended, it doesn't show up in my Recent Calls list.
I tried installing Dialer One, and get the same results.
Should I just wiped the Dalvik cache again in CWM and see what happens? Other ideas?
I was going to finally upgrade to JB and root (while we're at it, does OTA rootkeeper work here?) anyways, but don't really have time before I'm about to travel again. Any bandaids to fix this in the meantime would be great. Thanks in advance.

Yeah, but I had to do a factory reset and re-root, then use Titanium to restore my backed-up apps.

Seems to be somewhat common but no fix to be found...
Using CM7.1
Was working perfectly for a month.
Seemed to happen out of no where, no new apps installed or settings changed. The phone will vibrate for incoming calls, haptic, everything except SMS.
Using GoSMS but it does the same with the stock messanging app. Vibration is turned on in all the system and messanging settings. In fact, when I test settings in GoSMS it reports "vibration on".
Tried clearing the dalvik cache and tried installing this app but it won't show anywhere in the app drawer and I can't find it anywhere on the phone despite the market saying its installed. Unfortunate becasue it seems this app was designed for this very issue with desire/insprire.
Anyone have a fix for this or a method I could get the above app to install properly?
Thanks.
edit.....It's looking like an app issue......
never mind on the rom repair part....sorry
mods can delete....g
Gregsarg was actually probably right the first time. It doesn't seem to be an APP issue (as all MMS apps have the same lack of vibrate), but a broader issue.
His suggestion to install CM7 on top of itself is likely the simplest attempt at solution since you haven't found a specific solution through your searches.
I also tried the GoodVibrations.apk and it only shows in airdroid, mybackup, and managing all apps... It doesn't even have the 'open' command on the market menu after installing it >.>

Thanks. Unfortunately I didn't see this suggestion before it was edited out. What exactly is meant by install CM7 on top of itself? Through clockwork I presume?
Yeah, just flash the SAME rom again (after backing up AND without wiping anything), and your settings should stay in place.
There is also a setting in the stock CM sms app that controls vibration, which is turned off by default.
Yeah vibrate in the stock SMS program is on. While I haven't gotten around to reflashing just yet I have noticed a few other things that lead me to believe its a ROM issue. Sometimes when I put the phone on silent it turns off all system vibrations even after coming off silent. I have to go back in and turn vibration back on. This is intermittent. Also, out of the blue the phone started vibrating during calls, come to find out "vibrate every 45 seconds during outgoing calls" was magically turned on.
It WILL vibrate when an SMS arrives if I'm on a call. Swell.
Flashed the new 7.2 nightly and the problem still exists. Everything remained intact after the flash so I figure I'll just do a full wipe/factory reset and flash the new nightly again and start over. Hopefully whatever caused this won't carry over with titanium restoring apps.
Do the full wipe, install the rom... then get a friend to send you text messages BEFORE you restore from Titanium, and then after....
Easy to isolate if you're carrying the issue from ROM to ROM.
Had the same issue, could find no fix. Used vibrate tools from the market and no issues for a week or so now..

That did it thanks! Saved me from having to do a full wipe. Phone is back to vibrating with SMS and I can change the vibration pattern. Nice.
Cool, glad it worked for you. I really wish I knew what happened though, it's kind of bugging me.
Meh, technology..

Well I'll add this... Out of curiosity I removed the vibrate tools app and everything is still operating as designed. So whatever that app turned on has stuck.
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

Stock 4.4.4.

If I am using another app and receive a phone call, I am not able to answer it. The navigation buttons stop responding and the pull down drawer won't allow me to answer. I noticed this behavior over the last few weeks. Its been a headache.
I tried removing all recent apps, clearing cache and rebooting in safe mode. Nothing has helped yet.
Anyone seen this behavior before? Any ideas on what to try?
Nope. Didn't hear chatter about that. Since L preview has released, it's best to flash it as that's a cleaner ROM. Your call will take up only the top part of the screen and you can use the app when you get a call. N if you're flashing, unlock boot loader and don't forget to back up everything before unlocking.
After upgrading to lollipop, I have noticed when recieving a call that sometimes my phone will ring for about 1 second and then stop but continue to vibrate. I am not using any quick cover or anything. This doesnt happen all the time but it does happen quite often. Has anyone else had this problem? I'm completely stock on 5.0 (i have deleted my cache partition and the problem still persists)

Are you using a custom ringtone?

No, just the stock tones. I find it happening sometimes with my SMS messages as well but not all the time.
Update: I have since unlocked my bootloader (wiped) and rooted my phone and the problem still persist. Seems like I'm not alone, I have starred this so hopefully someone can see it. https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=81178#makechanges
Anyone have any suggestions that I could try?
update
I had thought I had fixed the problem by re flashing the stock image of lollipop, the problem went away and my phone started to ring again but shortly its back to only vibrating. I noticed that the little vibrate symbol was popping up in the status bar whenever I received a call, even when I turned off the also vibrate for calls option. I then remembered that when I use the volume butler app and set it to my vibrate profile that symbol would also pop up. I uninstalled volume butler and everything seemed to be working fine. Next I Checked the play store for comments regarding the issue and I noticed two things: There was a recent fix "ringtone changing to silent upon first install" and it said that the app was installed onto my device and not requiring an update even though I had just uninstalled it. So I decided to open it up and it was as if I was starting the app for the first time as none of my previous data was in there for testing purposes I decided to set up the same profiles that I had before and try calling my phone and my phone rang like it should, weird. Perhaps I had two versions and that was the one that I originally uninstalled is that even possible?( I could have sworn I had updated it,as it was under the up to date app list) Regardless, I uninstalled it again and everything is still working as it should. Hoping that this was was the culprit I will continue to test my phone and see.
I have this weird issue since I've updated to OOS 10.01. When my phone is locked and I receive a phone call the screen flashes with the caller info for a second then goes back to the lock screen and then goes back to the caller info screen. This happens every time I receive a phone call when the phone is locked.
Any insights?
Thanks
Please help, any insights/suggestions?
This is driving me nuts
Thanks
Something causes this issue, I have not been able to pinpoint the cause. I tried stock and rooted OOS 10 but no difference. I experienced the problem with both setups. Does not happen after a fresh install, but after a while starts to happen all over again.
Anybody else experiencing the same problem ?
Thanks
OK just a short recap, haven't had the issue for a while now. Still trying to find the cause.
Things I did differently since the last full wipe:
- did not install viper4android
- did not enable call recording
- did not give "Auto Dark Mode" app write permissions via adb (this is the one I believe is the most likely candidate)
