Unable to answer the phone most of the time. - Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development

I'm on a 5060 build using the Kitchen. I have HTC Home, S2U2, and anything else that was defaulted in the settings from the basekit.
I had the same problem on DCD 3.0.1 and nue 5054 and 5059. I was told it was advanced config, so I reflashed 5059 without AC, then 5060 without it. The device worked great yesterday, but this morning I couldn't answer the phone again.
I had found something that added a change soft key setting to the systems tab, I installed that and changed the setting to messaging instead of calendar, and that's when the issue returned, so I figured it was something to do with the that. I did a hard reset but the issue still remains. My next resort is a re-flash, but I really don't want to go through all that if I can avoid it.

What do you mean you cannot answer your phone?
The calls don't go through, you cannot use the send key, what's up?

I press the answer softkey or the hardware key, and it doesn't work most of the time. It will mute the ringer, but will not answer the call.

This has been discussed elsewhere in this forum and on brand X. I also had a problem with the phone not answering. If you believe what they say....and I've tried it and it seems to be working for me now......reload a ROM without Advanced Config. This seems to be the common thread to the problem....Now my calls answer almost immediately. Try it...see if it solves the problem

I did that. My 5060 build didn't have AC in it at all.

Do you have SPB Pocket Plus installed? I had the same problems, but it hasn't returned since I uninstalled PocketPlus...

Nope. No SPB. Only default 5060 basekit and HTC home/S2U2.
I've actually gone ahead and re-flashed back to Sprint 3.35, which sucks because I really really liked the 6.1 threaded SMS, but a phone that I can't answer doesn't really do me any good.
I'll just have to wait for an official 6.1 I guess.

the new PocketCM comes with threaded text..

A little update.
The GPRS_bye_if_device_off registry hack is what was causing me not to be able to answer my phone. It was supposed to improve battery life.
I had ran no2chem 5060 for a few weeks without it happening, then went to DCD 3.0.4 and it didn't happen until last night, I tried that hack. Sure enough, after the reboot, that hack is what did it. I was doing this hack just to test that theory so had a back up. I restored it and now the phone works properly again.

Mogul Freeze/Lockup

I've been trying various versions of dcd's mods hoping to remedy a problem with my mogul. It seems that my unit locks-up/freezes when all of the following are true:
1. Bluetooth is on
2. Phone is locked
3. Goes into sleep mode
When i try to awake phone; none of the buttons work; simply black screen and needs a soft reset. This does not happen all the time, just enough to be annoying.
Any thoughts? Is this a radio 1.47 problem??
Thanks guys.
bump. i have the same problem with DCD 1.6.8 Rom. i thought it was codyppc battery/performance hack so I uninstalled that(still happened), then i thought it was s2u2 so i uninstalled that( still happened today).... so any ideas?
can we verify whether this happens on dcd_titan_1.6.10 rom with NO software, tweaks, etc etc installed? it does not happen for me (i have been using BT lately) but that doesnt mean it wont happen for you guys.
Are you by anychance using S2U2 with the Power Off setting?
I was having this problem, and since I've set S2U2 not to Power off the phone, I have not had this problem. Being going well over 24 hours now.
Mine also freezes/locks up from time to time. I'll make the changes in S2U and see what happens.
Sorry for the newb question, but what is S2U?
got it; slide to unlock.
Is this app worthwhile?
I'm running 2.17 ROM and I get this error, although I'm NOT running S2U2
I have got the same problem. I just flashed to custel 1.1 6mb pagepool (awesome rom for alltel users) had no time to install anything extra paired bt locked phone about 10 mins later tried to make call and it was froze. i did however find out if you constantly use the bt it dont freeze (I finaylly installed ms voice command and if i constantly ask for date or time it stays unfroze.).
edit: I just upgraded to radio v2.13 ( ftp://xda:[email protected]/Titan/Radio_Roms/titan_2.13_CDMA.rar ) totally cured bt reception problem on both ends but once again same problem phone freezes. helppppp!!!!!!

Vibrate Doesn't Work (using dcd 2.2.3), Verizon

So, a few days ago I flashed to the 2.2.1 (and radio 3.27) release (thanks so much for all your work dcd!). I didn't really notice until today that the vibrate function isn't working. I hopped on here and searched around and came up with nada... other than 2.2.3 was released. Flashed up to that, same thing. Everything seems to work fine other than vibrate.
Anyone have any ideas?
Are you sure the vibration motor is functioning? For instance when you power it on does it vibrate for a split second?
it doesn't, that's actually how I noticed that it wasn't working.
Did you do any registry hacks or use any apps to disable the flashing LED? The vibrate function is tied to the LED flashing and disabling it in certain ways will kill the vibrate functionality with it.
negative... I have a clean install of 2.2.3 with no hacks or modifications applied to it. in my searching yesterday, I came across references to HKLM\SOFTWARE\OEM\VIB and \HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\AllLEDMgr but neither of these had any impact.
I had this same issue and the only workaround that I came across was to hit ok when closing the email program instead of closing it by tapping on the X. One other workaround is if you use programs like SPB Pocket Plus, add the tmail.exe to your close exceptions and vibrate will work as normal.
Hope this helps
No problems here with Vibrate
Only programs I have loaded other than the 2.2.3 rom are SPB Phone Suite and PointUI 1.02B.
I am really hoping this is something that can be fixed, I really don't want to have to flash back to stock and get a new one under warranty.
If you soft-reset your phone, does it do that quick vibrate? If so, hardware is intact

aye, my fault. It's still early and I haven't started reading yet. That sucks about your vib, Has to be a hardware fault. i thought i had my first contribution to XDA with this one, thanks for shooting it down.
sorry about that, I am sure you'll get one soon

dissapearing text messages

ive seen this discussed somewhere else, maybe it was ppcgeeks, but the problem is, i lose text messages when i soft reset.
i dont have much information about it, but if i soft reset soonafter a soft reset, or even an hour or so after a string of text messages, they will sometimes just not be there any more.
anyone have any idea why this is happening, or more importantly how to fix it?
thanks
i would really like some info on this. i cant offer any help other than verifying that it happens to me too. i think it has happened with both sms and mms too actually. i dont like it though
The only way I've been able to save my SMS when I reset is by holding the button to power the phone off rather than using the stylus to reset. Every time I use the reset button I lose info. Power the phone down, then turn it back on. Should help.
Sounds alot like a cache issue.... Sometimes things get put into mem cache and will be saved later when enough has been stored.... I do not know how to adjust it tho.... I'd say that between the 3 of you, there is a common program that you have installed that may be changing the way your messages are stored.... just a theory on my part, cuz I don't have that issue....
Perhaps 1 of you can flash the ROM from the 3.2.0 post and install nothing but your carrier and then send a bunch of SMS messages. Then do a soft reset to see if they stay....!
are you running a cooked rom?
i recall having this on pre 6.1 roms, though you will always risk data loss if you suddenly soft reset your device with the reset button instead of powering it down properly
i have used the same apps on my phone for a while and only started noticing this messaging issue recently. the more i think about it i think it might have started once i started using 6.1 roms. before that i was just on alltels updated stock rom and this didnt happen. but on both no2chems 5069k and now dcd's 3.2 it happens.
so..maybe its a 6.1 issue? maybe a 6.1 cache issue? all of these 6.1 roms we are using are going to have bugs so this is what im guessing.
just read the post directly above mine...... so maybe im wrong.
anyone else offer any suggestions?
This is definitely a cache issue I discovered some time ago, I think even with 6.0. If you use the reset button or pull the battery within an hour or less of doing text messaging you have to shut down Outlook/SMS first so that it will write the cache to the database.
I'm on Verizon.. This has happened to me even with the stock ROM. Not only do new text messages disappear, but if you delete all your text messages.. then reset.. they are all back.
It does appear to be a cache issue. It takes some time before changes are permanent I guess.
This happened to me on Stock with original Arcsoft, Also on DCD ROM 3.1.2, 3.1.6, 3.2.0.. with various Arcsoft versions 5.xx.
I have found no way to change this.. but I haven't checked all the reg keys for a setting that might do this. If I discover one, I'll post back.

Won't answer incoming calls

Has anyone else had this problem and/or found a solution? I have searched the threads but haven't seen anyone mention it. I have the Sprint TP and when I have an incoming call pressing the onscreen or hardware button does nothing to answer the phone. I can press a million times, but the phone doesn't pick-up. Any help would be appreciated.
Do you have stock ROM?
Have you tried soft and hard resets?
If it is stock and have tried hard reset, time for replace.
I dont know if you posted on PPC Geeks too, but someone over there was having the same problem. I had this problem as well, and it would only happen when a data connection was established. I just had to hard reset because I couldn't find any type of fix for it.
Yeah, I also posted on ppcgeeks. I think the problem is with Diamond Tweaks. Apparently it does something that changes the amount of time it take to stop a data connection when a call is coming in. Not sure which of the "Tweaks" that I changed made that a problem. eenieMINI directed me to this post that is supposed to hold a solution:
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showpost.php?p=458469&postcount=1
This fix will make your data connection always on
^^ no it wont...but it is the fix...I had the same problem.
I tried the cab file that was part of the thread in ppc geeks mentioned above and I am still having the problem. I do not have any tweaks on my phone, just the stock ROM and emoze, so that I can have push for my gmail.
I am a complete novice and would appreciate any help that can be offered with this. Also, when I disconnect emoze my phone works perfectly, so I know that it is the problem. I have contacted emoze but they have not answered.

OK, now what is phh regedit and where do I get it? Is it a self explanatory program or is there a users guide that I can read somewhere? Sorry for the complete lack of competence
I had this problem start manifesting itself when I installed Advanced Configuration (originally made for the Diamond) and tried everthing to fix it. Even setting all the settings back to default and removing the app didn't fix it. The only true fix was to do a hard reset. I havent had the problem ever since and have been using a registry editor to make the changes I wanted to do through Advanced Configuration Tool. I think because it's not 100% made for the Raphael it's making registry changes that don't necessarily apply to our phones. I dunno, that's my speculation.
I thought the directions on ppcgeeks was
straight forward. Go back to the link posted above and follow the directions. I would suggest printing them first id you are nervous. This was my first only reg edit (so far).

I had the same problem on the Touch Pro and on my previous Touch. Once Advanced Configuration was installed, I had major problems answering phone calls. Hard reset (and not reinstalling Advanced Config) solved the problem.

FIXED: Answer button doesn't answer, data connection turns off after call

Yes, this is a known issue with Advanced Config, perhaps some other apps as well. Try this fix.

Hey guys, sup?
I have a huge problem with my TELUS Touch Pro. Great phone, but just one problem...
Whenever somebody calls me, I can't answer the phone. The onscreen "Answer" button doesn't work, the Talk button doesn't work, pressing the Select button doesn't work...pressing the headphone button does, but sometimes my headphones are in my pocket, or sometimes they're not with me at all!
The only way I can answer them is by ignoring the call, and calling them back. It sucks big time.
Anybody have a solution? And no, I'm not hard-resetting my phone. It started doing this for my first call, so I'm pretty sure it's not my fault.
HEEAAALLLPPP!!!
Is this the stock ROM?
Do you have BT on and connected?
Mine started doing that yesterday. I did a hard reset and so far everythings back to normal. Still do not know what it was tho
I just had my TP replaced and the new one did the same thing, I did not notice until a few days later as I use a bluetooth headset and pushing the answer key on the headset worked. I had to RTN the device to make it work properly. Have not had a problem since. it has been aabout a week and a half.
Sometimes I've noticed this happens when my memory is tied up elsewhere, ie media player or something. Try soft resetting your phone every morning that might help clear it up.
I have had this happen with me on my Titan which I recently traded in for my Touch Pro, and also on my Touch Pro. I noticed it coincided with installing iGo8 GPS software on both. A hard reset was the only way I found to fix it. Uninstalling the software did not do the trick. I could be wrong about the software title I am blaming, but I have everything reloaded on my phone except that, and all is well. I do have a Slide To Answer incoming call screen now with the MightyRom 4.9.5 rom installed, maybe this is a work around, don't know for sure. If anyone else has more feedback, let me know. I would love to find a fix for it so I can use my GPS software.
Mine started doing this crap last night. I reinstalled the S2A cab and just let it go.
I am starting to think it might just be the telus network being a boatload of suck. Mine does it with the stock rom without any programs loaded from time to time. I am thinking it must be the tower failing to acknowledge that you want to answer the call, so the phone keeps ringing becuase it sees there is an incoming call but the tower ignores that you are trying to answer it. This is just my guess based on what I have read about CDMA, I wonder if any GSM users have the same issue.....
Do any of you have Advanced Configuration installed? This is what caused this problem for mine and my brother's TP. Uninstalling didn't fix it. Had to hard reset.
Yes, this is a known issue with Advanced Config, perhaps some other apps as well. Try this fix.

I can tell you that this will more than likely fix this for you. Mine was doing the same thing, applied this, done and shut! Good luck.
OMG OMG OMG thanks!!!! That also fixed the problem where it ended the data connection after the call.
Sorry I took so long, I THOUGHT I was subscribed to the thread...
Thanks again!
