Eavesdropping Communication???

Hey guys,
Hold your phones tight, hold your hands over the mic...! Next time someone calls you and you decide to let it ring, they might hear what's going on!
Tested and warranted. My girlfriend called me 3 days ago. Right before the phone rings, she can hear for about 5 seconds what is going on around thw phone. Thank god I'm the faithful and non-hypocrite type, or else there would be some major reaveals!
My phone is an 8125 with TNT.19199. Wierd thing! I even tested it and I can hear what's going on around the phone for those split seconds!
Anyone else has had this happening to them too? Do tell how this may come to be...

I've never heard of such a thing. Maybe a bad flash. Try hard resetting or flash a different ROM.

Can you explain in more detail?
Eg the beep-beep (calling sound) is still heard from the caller while the phone is ringing?
If the caller can hear things before the phone starts ringing maybe the phone is set at auto-answer (by bug/mistake).
At another of my posts I said that with bluetooth I answered the phone & while I was talking the phone kept ringing.
The difference with your post is that I answered the phone and it kept ringing and you didn't answer the phone and it acted like you had...
I have the same ROM TNT v2 and you got me a bit worried...

beep on connect

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.

[Q] Serious problems with calls - do you have it too?

Hi,
I got a NS replacement a couple days ago, and yesterday I noticed something weird with calls - whenever I reject an incoming call, I'm unable to make calls myself for a good while. Rebooting the phone solves the issue, and just leaving the phone alone for an extended period of time seems to fix it too, but only until the next time I reject a call.
I really don't feel like returning the phone, so I'd like to know if this is a known problem and there's a solution to it, or if I should just send it back and ask for a (second) replacement.
Thanks in advance!

At this point it would also be useful if you just confirm that you DON'T have the issue - I just want to know if other Nexii have it or not, so that I can ask for a replacement.

Guys, I really only need you to call yourselves from another phone, reject the call and then try to place a call, see if it works. Would that be possible?

Works fine with CM7.

Reject and call back working fine for me.

Thanks guys! Then it's confirmed that the problem is in my phone. Gonna call for a replacement.

ATT HOX Not receiving calls

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.
Sent from my HTC One XL

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.

Hello twice before caller hears me?

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.
