Hey guys,
I have a couple of things that bother me about this phone. I didn't have these problems when I first got it so I'm trying to figure out why this happens.
First off, when I get a phone call, sometimes I can't answer it. I will be pressing the Answer button both on the screen and the actual hardware key... it will never go to the connected call button even though it shows I'm in call.
Next is the issue I have with the End Button. Sometimes I accidently press it and it terminates my data connection. Is there anyway to make the End key serve as just a hang-up/go back to the home screen type key? I would love to see this issue fixed.
Thanks for your time.
*UPDATE* : I just realized that when I'm in a data connection, it sometimes won't let me answer or I will have to press Answer 30 times for it to get into a call. It seems like a very slow transition from Data to Voice. Any ideas?
You can set the end key to do other things in the settings menu someplace. Look for it. Have it give you a list, instead of doing an automatic feature.
I just did a hard reset and it fixed everything.
I performed a search on here and find lots of posts about how to turn them on but nothing discussing the issue I'm having which is that they keep turning themselves back off. It's driving me insane!!!
I have a Touch Pro with Sprint. I go into settings and enable all notifications to display on the screen for new reminders, email, sms, etc. I've done both soft reset and no soft reset after enabling them and it doesn't seem to matter. After a few days the notifications checkmarks have seemed to uncheck themselves and the pop up notifications stop working. Then I have to go in a re-enable them all. I've gone through this about 10 times in the last two weeks and it's wearing on my last nerve.
Does anyone know what is causing this and more importantly know how to fix it once and for all? Is there something in the registry that keeps making it default back to no popup notifications that I need to change?
Thanks in advance for any help you can give me. Other than this issue I love the phone!
I have noticed 2 things with the new Sprint TP:
1. They work better after a hard reset. More stable and faster.
2. There are some programs I tried out that were written for the diamond (i.e. advance config). They have caused some unwanted side effects, like not keeping settings I had intended (i.e. hardware button tap sounds always turned themselves off etc.).
If you have any of those programs on your TP, one of those might be the culprit.
Either way, I would suggest a hard reset and then (if applicable) installing each program and seeing if it's messing things up.
As follow up, it appears that Advanced Config is the culprit. I uninstalled it, reset all of my notifications to display on screen and finally did a soft reset. Popup notifications are still working strong for almost a week now!
Thanks!
Hello everyone, I'm a noob on this forum, I found a lot of informations but nothing for my problem.
I have a HTC 7 Mozart since 3 weeks (with my french operator Orange) with all updates with Zune. My problems are:
- Sometimes reboot automatically when incoming call (not for all calls)
- Sometimes reboot automatically when incoming sms (not for all sms and after restart sms is loosed :/)
- Sometimes reboot automatically when … do nothing …
- Sometimes when I touch a tule, "Chargement en cours" ("Loading in progress") appears and nothing => I press the power button and "Au revoir" ("Goodbye") appears and do not disappears (i'm waiting many minutes) and finally i must remove the battery to restart the phone
- Sometimes when I go in Parameters menu (to activate/desactivate Wifi) I have only "Mode Avion" ("Plane mode") => I press power button and "Au revoir" ("Goodbye") appears and do not disappears (i'm waiting many minutes) and finally i must remove the battery to restart the phone
- Sometimes when I take the phone, it is very hot, the power button and the 3 sensitives buttons have no action => i must remove the battery to restart the phone (the battery charge has very decrease)
These problems increase with time, I met 5 or 6 reboots 2 days of the last weeks, and i can't continue to use my phone like this.
Yesterday I tried to uninstall all application (that I had install) and remove my email accounts but one reboot this night and 2 problems today (with no phone use) :S.
I don't know if it can be a hardware or software problem. Have you any ideas ? (I have some long conversations in SMS and some important informations in SMS and I hope that I will keep my SMSs (because there is no solution to backup or extract SMSs, thanks Microsoft ...)
Thank you
Hello,
First of all, have you jailbreak your phone? And have you try to upgrade the memory of your phone?
If the response of those question are no, try to make an hard reset of your phone (press Vol +/ Vol - and power button at the same time then follow the instruction).
If you still have the problem after that, I think you will have to send back your phone to the after sale service :/
Good luck!
Thanks for the answer.
No jailbreak and no change of the memory card.
I have seen the hard reset procedure but I suppose that SMSs will be deleted so I'm still waiting a little if an other solution is possible
I think you can probably use Microsoft My PHone web site. It gives you a simply way to backup your contacts and sms also.
-> Make a backup on microsoft Myphone
-> Hard reset your phone
-> Re-install your backup on your phone
Good luck!
Unfortunately MyPhone is not compatible with Windows Phone 7 . I found no way to save or extract SMS (lack of solution in this OS).
I had the same problem with my HTC Mozart, it was always booting making it impossible to use.
I have a feeling its just a damaged memory card but i send it to the store where i bought it so they could take a look.
I don't think you can do anything to solve it without loosing your warranty
Thank you, I'm not only lol.
I take my old phone today.
I still search a little and i will try the hard reset ... and after sale if its continue.
Tried searching around for this but hopefully someone can help.
I've got an S3 running stock 4.0.4 firmware. I'm having 2 very frustrating issues with this phone:
1) At first I thought this was a Swiftkey issue but happens with stock keyboard. when i go into the messaging app occasionally, when pressing keys on the keyboard - nothing appears. I have to quit messaging app and go back in.
2) another very annoying issue is when in the phone book and pressing the green phone button to dial someone, sometimes it will take 10 seconds for the phone to make a call. If i happen to press it more than once during that 10 seconds, it will make the call, and say for example the other person has picked it up, the dialler will then place another call - to the same person! The other person tends to say - "why are you putting me on hold and calling me again!?"
Very annoying and not sure what to do. Really do not want to do a restore.

The least invasive solution will be to clear the cache for the all the apps affected and reboot.
Or just wipe cache from recovery and see where it goes.

Reduce animation scale to 0.5
go to setting>developer option>animation scales
You can also set no animation so that phone will response in less time

How is that very different from a restore?

Unfortunatlly mate, i think ur having problem with this stock rom did you try to factory reset your device to eliminate those bugs. or flash another Rom because this is definitly a Rom problem.

i'll try this as well mate - thanks!
Same issues that I'm facing
I'm also facing the same issue.... Long black screen pause when exiting or moving from one app to other. Very very frustrating ....
Tried all the trick in world including those that mentioned below.... Will be returning the device and going for a iPhone 5 !
Same exact issue, any results?

I am having the exact same issue with my S3. Sometimes calls take up to two minutes before they register. The phone remains completely responsive the whole time, and I can try to dial a bunch of different numbers (doesn't matter if I dial a number directly or if I quick dial a favorite or whatever). Suddenly, two minutes later it appears to register that, "Oh, I'm a phone!" and then dials all of the numbers all at once. Two minutes is a very long time to wait for the damn thing to dial. Especially when some iPhone user is sitting next to me going, "Seriously? You put up with that?" It is embarrassing.
I am also on the stock android 4.0.4 (verizon) and I would really really rather not have to wipe it clean and re-install.
The rest of the phone is fast (I am using go launcher) with the exception of the "Negative Colors" widget and the "Assistive light" widget. Both of those act just like the dialer. I hit the widgets and sometimes nothing happens for a minute. Again, the phone is completely responsive the whole time and I can hit these buttons over and over. Suddenly it all registers and then my screen flashes between normal and negative about a hundred times (once for each time I hit the button in frustration), and the led flash strobes on and off (again, once for each time I tried to get it to work).
This does not happen every single time though. Sometimes it behaves properly. Other times, it is super slow, but once it reacts, then I can make calls quickly until I let it sit untouched for a while. Then it gets all slow again.
I thought I'd try flushing the cache, but I cannot seem to find what cache I should flush. I can't find a dialer app, and the only other app that looks appropriate is the Dialer Storage app, but it does not have a cache I can flush.
Can anyone point me to a diagnostic tool that I can use to determine just what the phone is doing at this time? I have tried emailing myself the logs using log viewer, but they are huge and I can't seem to find anything there that I can sink my teeth into. Any help would be appreciated. My iPhone owning friends are becoming insufferable.

Thanks for the quick reply. I didn't know what a ril was and did a little research. Fascinating.
As far as I can tell, and please bear with me since I am a complete noob here (though I am resonably facile with Linux), since I am running the original ROM, I don't have any influence over the RIL. Is that correct? I downloaded getril, but it says that my device (Verizon GS3) is not supported.
What is the text that would show up in a log if I made a call? I'm going to try and search the logs again, maybe that will tell me something,
Hi,
First of all, my home button don't work correctly. When I do a simple click and a long click, absolutely nothing happens. But if I do a double click, it does work fine.
Secondly, some overlays don't comes up, like notification or volume changing pop-up or Facebook messenger chat heads just showing the wallpaper not the chat.
Finally, when I receive links from message or mail and click on it and it opens chrome (it's the default one) but it doesn't open the link.
Sometimes ago, I had just the 2 first problems. And just by restarting my phone all was gone.
But now I get all the 3 problems. I tried to factory reset my phone and it fixed the problem but then I had to restart my phone. And all the problems were back.
I got the galaxy note 3 (SM-N9005) with the firmware N9005XXUGBOJ2.
Thank you in advance for the help
