I've got a brand new Galaxy S6 (unlocked), running 5.1.1 - I dial it, it rings, but there's no way to pick it up. I wake the screen (as its just black) - standard lockscreen, unlock, standard launcher - there's no dialler popup to answer the call or anything.
Please help, I've dug through all the options and can't find anything that might be causing this, I haven't yet factory reset as I spent a load of time customising everything before noticing, sigh.
Any clues to how I can debug this? Anyone seen this before? Mighty frustrating.
Thanks!
Nevermind, have managed to resolve by clearing the cache for all 3 Phone apps (why is there 3?!) - very odd, hopefully it doesn't reoccur

About half the time, when I try to answer an incoming call, my Verizon TP2 will only mute the ring without answering the call. It responds the same whether I use the touch screen to answer or press the send key, and whether or not the phone is locked or unlocked when the call arrives. Has anyone had a similar problem or know of a fix? Thanks.
I got this behavior the first time I finished getting the phone set up how I wanted. I eventually had to hard reset to fix it.
I think it was probably s2u2 interfering with the nonstandard dialer / answer bits on the phone. Even uninstalling it didn't help though. I have not bothered to try reinstalling s2u2 after the reset though to see if it causes the problem again.
i have this same problem. as i recall there was some registry tweak you could do to fix it, but i cant remember it to save my life. I have the worst problem with being on the internet and trying to answer a call. anyone know of a fix? whenever i am on opera and try to answer an incoming call it just freezes and i have to exit opera and call the person back. anyone with a fix for this other than a hard reset?
i had the same problem before i flashed to 6.5 on my vzw tp2. I also suspected that it was because of s2u2: I followed to uninstalling and i kept on getting a message about s2u2.exe not being a valid app or something. I also thought it could have been because of the dialer i had. The dusk dialer...for sense2.1 while i had manilla. after the flash i reinstalled s2u2, and will see if this persists to happen again.
It happened to me for the first tiem twice yesterday, my phone awoke and I could see my taskbar icon switch to 1x but I didn't see a call then I got a voicemail, when I called the person back they said it rang 6 times and went to voicemail, and it happened again later where i saw the call box and slide to answer come up but the screen was stuck and I couldn't answer it, not even with the hardware key.
Same thing is happening to me. The first time someone calls it won't answer whether I use the soft key or the hard key and the screen just freezes. However when the person calls back, it answers immediately when I click the answer button. I don't have S2U2 or any other phone/lock apps which interfere with answering a call.
Same here guys, I have been having the same issue, but as I can see for weeks now I haven't been able to nail down a solution either...
I too have had the same issue for several weeks. More prevalent when the screen is locked. Rings once and goes to voicemail.
stupid double post.
I've only run across this issue when I am using too much RAM. Try using cleanram and closing out tasks that you are not using.
I have virtualized my RAM so that it never utilizes over 50 % available and have also made sure that all applications utilizing memory were closed down. The problem still persists and can not identify its cause.

have you tried s2u2 and their call answering interface?
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

Hi all,
Simple question/dilemma I have: I have recently done a factory reset on my phone for other software glitches and just re-rooted my phone with the ping pong root. And while going through all my settings to customize the phone to my liking I ran into an issue with being able to enable call waiting on my settings. There's really nothing more to it, in the settings options I click the button and it does nothing, no errors, nothing. I feel dumb asking this, but I can't figure it out, I have no apps disabled at this point.
Thanks!
I just bought a used S8+ and set it to factory settings. Installed all apps and it looked to be working fine. Now I have 2 issues which I can't troubleshoot myself sk any help would be appreciated!
1. The time in the notification bar freezes and updates in irregular intervals (sometimes it freezes for mroe than an hour). If i turn on or off automatic time it refreshes. The time in the widgets and on my lock screen are correct!
2. There is a HUGE delay in receiving SMS messages! It takes up to 30 minutes to receive an sms, which isn't that great when you want to verify your number in some apps....
If you can help with any of these problems, I'd really appreciate it!
I had this problem, not with my S8+ but with my S7 after looking everywhere trying every app, cleaning, resetting i came to the conclusion it was my carrier who messed it up. Maybe flash it with a stock rom and see if that is going to fix the problem.
Thanks for the info, I was thinking about something like that. I'm going to try and see what it does without ny sim card. The SMS seems to be the sms service and app that were in power saving mode.
Ii hope you will figure it out, always it's the best if you open a thread state what you exactly have example
i have SM-GF955F - Oreo 8.0 - CRB7 - ROOTED
The troubleshooting can go smoother
Hi All,
I've had the phone about 8 months, UK model.
About 2 months ago, when scrolling in Wikipedia pages on Chrome browser, the display would alternate between normal and blue light (eye comfort). It still does occasionally.
From a few weeks ago, the keyboard sometimes take about 10s to appear.
A few days ago when on voice call from the phone other person can't hear me but I can them while voice call on Whatsapp is fine both ways. Restarting phone seems to solved it for now.
Then yesterday while trying to access settings from either the home screen or app drawer, it fails but you can see its attempting to as you see the settings screen momentarily then a message comes up saying settings failed to start several times and whether to restore by clearing history. Doing that doesn't work. The only way that I can is to touch and hold the settings icon till the search option comes up and then type the particular setting I want.
Before I do anything to fix this, are these symptoms an indication the phone is on the way to a complete breakdown? Would it be a software problem and I suppose the 1st step to fix is factory reset.
Has anyone experience this on their phone?

Unfortunately it's the Oppo software that causes these issues... We hope we can unlock the bootloader soon and flash custom roms to remedy these problems since Oppo are just incompetent.
Chrome colour shift is fixed by typing into your chrome address bar and type: "chrome://flags" then search "Dynamic Color Gamut" and set it to disabled (or it was enabled, I forget since I didn't have the issue myself)
Oppo uses the wrong microphone on third party apps like whatsapp, signal, instagram etc. and we have to wait for an update to fix that. (Issue has been posted here before)
The rest of the issues you described sound like some software instability caused by the Android 11 update. You should save your data and do a factory reset.
If the issues persist after the reset and you didn't install any dodgy apps or modified the software using adb then consider sending the phone in for repair.
OK thanks for replies. So factory reset then...
