Hi guys, i like my fuze but damn, its not perfect, i have had this thing freeze couple times, but here are the problems ive had so far. sometimes when im receiving a phone call it will ring for 1 second then hang up, ring 1 second again, hang up, it keeps doing it, and after each ring & hang up session it makes it appear as a missed call. another problem ive had is with the End key, its not responsive sometimes, when i try to hang up a call i will think it ended because the dialpad went away but the call is still going and will go to voicemail or whatever. also if i havent turned off the phone for a while sometimes i cant access the messaging portion of the phone unless i soft reset. is there anyway to cure these problems, and am i the only one having these problems.
If your on a stock rom FLASH IT... the At&t Rom sucks, download advanced config and change the end call delay to something WAY LESS then 3000 milliseconds (which is a 3 second delay just for hitting the end key) mine is at like 50 milliseconds... put the ROMeOS rom for the Fuze on it or something else whatever you feel is the best i use ROMeOS.... oh and when the phone hangs itself up is it all the time or is it only when its in your pocket?
I am in Baltimore Maryland... Ever since i upgraded to jf's rc33 firmware, i get aloooooooooot of " undelivered message" notifications. This never used to happen to me, maybe once a week with 2 messages. In most cases people ask me why the F am i triple texting, and it happens when i try to resend the messages and the phone keeps saying "message cannot be delivered". Is anyone else experiencing this? In maryland only perhaps?
I have tried keeping message count below 100, reseting the phone seems to be the only quick fix. One other thing, when i try to make phonecalls every now and then, the **** just hangs up as soon as the call is placed and when i receive a call sometimes and i press the answer key, it takes about 10 seconds to answer and continues to ring. suggestions buddys?
Make sure you delete your SMS threads if they get too long. Typically once threads get past 150 they are slow and take a while to open. If you are using the stock sms try chomp seems to handle threads better. I have JFRC33 and have not issues.
My wife and I have the exact same problem with the phone hanging up and not picking up a call for while. And dropped calls - almost always. And we live in the heart of Dallas.
yea the g1 is a nice phone, but either android or t-mobile blows..
every now and then people call me, and i get a missed call, but the phone never rings,
and sometimes when i call people, they pick up but one of us cant hear the other,
and sometimes, the g1 will ring, but when i press the green button to anwser, the phone continues to ring
im getting pissed off,
rc29, rc33 both fail to work
I am in Baltimore as well, and I have JF1.42 RC33, without any of the problems you have. Sorry, can't be of more assistance, but maybe your SIM card is old and needs to be replaced? I have heard of them causing issues sometimes.
yup same thing is happening to my phone. it is really starting to piss me off. i thought it was cuz i dropped my phone but i guess others have been getting the same thing. i hope theres a fix for this
I had this happen to me about two days ago. SMS failed to send to anyone. I restarted the phone and havent had a problem since. They are still developing this unit, so try to be patient.
i've had some calling issues recently, both making and receiving.
sometimes when receiving a call, i'll pick up and my phone will reboot, and take absolutely ages to boot up. and when making calls the other end will sometimes go completely dead and it's the same for the other person.
only happens very occasionally but it's happened with a few landline calls and different mobile networks. only been since RC33 too. not saying it's related but it is kinda annoying.
Wipe fixes all
unless the problem's firmware/hardware related, then it does **** all.
Wipe and wait
Could be too many apps eating memory on the G1 and/or buggy apps crashing buggy android. The best you can do is download mybackup from market, back up all data +sms+ageda etc, Wipe the phone. An dont install a single app from the market in 1-3 days and see if problems dissapear.
Personally, i never install any app who claims to "start at boot" Never. MyBackup is one of them and always delete it after backup. i may be wrong but i thing resident in memory apps and apps who starts at boot degrades performance over time, because many of them are buggy so i avoid using them. Well my phone runs fine with this.
buggy behavior
well i think this happen when phone memory is full, try to delete least used applications, clear applications cache like browser and youtube , then do a reset.
Ive had the issue more than a few times where the phone will start ringing but the screen will stay dark, i wait until it turns on to see who is calling after a few rings and then it wont respond to pressing the answer button unless i press it a few times, and even then it takes its sweet time answering. Ive dropped plenty of calls due to this, and yes it has only started happening after the radio firmware/RC33 update.

Oh... don't even start my on "MyBackup"... I kept trying to figure out why my phone was lagged so much when I was going back to home screen. Uninstalled apps that were running all the time one by one. MyBackup and Phonebook were 2 biggest memory hogs. Phone runs oh so smooth after I unistalled those 2. Backgrounds app still autostarts for some reason but I like that app too much to uninstall and it does not cause as many problems.

I still have this problem after another wipe..
why does android suck...
i wish tmo would come out with a winmo 3g phone, so much more stable and with more features =(.. i miss my shadow now
I started running into the issue of the phone not actually responding to the "answer call" button, but found it was only happening when I had auto-rotate set up with the DroidSans tools and the display had been rotated to landscape. It seemed like it would start trying to switch to portrait, then lock itself up long enough for the call to go to voicemail, then flip to portrait and be responsive again. I haven't had the problem since I disabled auto-rotate.
However, on the "too many apps" thing, I've suddenly started noticing that my phone will start a good 15-20 apps on startup, including things like AK Notepad. I didn't notice if this was something that started with RC33 or if I've done something else to make this happen...does this happen with anyone else?
I have had a similar issue with my g1 dropping calls and will sometimes see a force close while on a call as well. I did a wipe and did not enable auto rotation and so far it seems to be running more smoothly.
Been there done that...I am having the same issues and it is beginning to drive me nuts. I make heavy heavy use of my phone on a daily basis. Dropping calls where they just go to la la land...or the phone rings and I cannot answer for about 10 to 15 seconds, the phone just reboots for no reason... stupid things like that. I have RC33 rooted, radio upgraded with JF 1.41 and this has been happening daily about 3 times or so a day. I love my G1 and I have a hard time parting with it...I am trying to be patient while it develops but...I am about to go get the 8900 curve...
I forgot to mention...I had to do a wipe on my phone also due to a problem with the accelerameter and that did not help this issue either.

it seems to me that it is tmob related, since i`ve had that b4 on my lil nokia phone.
Hey guys!
Samsung Focus is having problems during calls. Many people has this annoying problem where the call completely MUTES apparently randomly. In other words, you are talking and you stop hearing everything (and so the other party) UNLESS you press MUTE and MUTE again (to MUTE and UN-MUTE).
It's completely annoying and Samsung/AT&T are not willing to replace the units because "they can't repro". References:

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1030024
So, I would love to build a program that really MUTES and UNMUTES the phone, not by turning down the volume but doing the exact same action that happens when you press the real MUTE button.
Is there any way to achieve that? I would love to detect the 100% mute while speaking, and if that happens, just run the little program which MUTES/UNMUTES and by doing so, corrects the problem that lovely Samsung and AT&T can't repro.
Thanks!
Magic.
my samsung focus never had a problem so far...i got it in jan of this year and never had a problem ..u sure its all or just one disinfected one
Hi rdsjuggalo!
I'm not saying 100% of Samsung Focus have that problem. I'm saying that many people have the same issue and so do I. I've provided links to other places where people from around the globe have the same problem.
Now, this has nothing to do with infections. My wife's phone and mine are 100% originals without a single program installed, and that happened from day 1. Also, I've sent the device to Samsung and AT&T two times and it came back with their own installation of the OS, but the problems are still with me.
So, yes, I'm sure this problem is happening to many people and that it does not have anything to do with programs/infections.
Thanks!
I recently wiped and flashed both my and my fiance's phones. Both the exact same phone, and I used the exact same install method and rom. (CyanogenMod 9) They should both be the exact same... right?! Well having two issues which only work on my phone, not my fiance's.
ISSUE 1
So I am aware that the Samsung Galaxy S 4G has a known issue with sending long texts which popup with a triangle saying something like "cannot send message". In the past, we've split messages using Go SMS pro. I recently found an app called "BIG SMS" and it fixed my phone so now I can send loooong sms messages like normal and with any app! I installed it on my fiance's phone and her's shows the triangle, it goes away, then shows it was sent and received but nobody ever actually gets it?! What does that mean and why would it not work on her phone?
ISSUE 2
My fiance mentioned to me the other day when she turns down her audio using the phone's side rocker, it goes from low volume to mute and stops without going to vibrate. On my phone, I go from low volume, to vibrate, to mute... Where's that option on her phone?
For your first issue, you would have to install another modem. KG4 is the way to go for long messages. Here's a thread with modems that are compatible with the SGS4G. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192436
For issue two, does your fiancee have a different phone than you?
Thanks for the quick reply! No idea how installing a new modem works but I'll definitely look into it. We both have the Samsung Galaxy S 4G, and I flashed the exact same rom using the same methods, and installed the same apps. ONLY difference between our phones is that we just got hers and mine I bought when they first came out.
Installing a new modem is as simple as flashing it through a recovery mode. That's very odd how her phone goes to silent by the volume buttons. I have the same phone and cannot do that and neither can you.
Does she have vibrate off or intensity set all the way low? Maybe.

That is the mod I installed for both of us. I was used to the old android so now that we're on ICS, I'm not as familiar so I have yet to even find the intensity option. Under sound, we have the vibrate and ring turned on if that helps... That's about the only option I even see for vibrate without it being inside an app.
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.
