[Q] For what possible reasons could an android device not notify for incoming calls? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I currently use a HTC HD Mini aka Photon running CyanogenMod 7.2.0, Photonic-KANG. For some reason, I do not receive any alerts or notifications for incoming calls: no ringing, no vibration, no records in the call log but my callers actually hear the phone ringing and so it seems like I'm just not picking up.
At first, I thought it was a ROM issue, and switched to Photonic from SCREAM by Ling Gan and all seemed to work fine for a while (I even received some calls this morning) and then it started again! I seem to be the only one having this issue since I posted it on the SCREAM thread but got no response.
Short of some weird issue with my network, what reasons are there (bad flash, radio issues, hardware problems) within the android OS and the phone that could result in this?
Thanks in advance.

Can't accept incoming calls after first activesync

Hello,
I recently upgraded my verizon vx6800 from the stock radio and OS to
3.37.75 and 3.3.4.
The first time i loaded the radio and OS, i proceded to load activesync (to work exchange), media player, google maps, ect...
I then noticed that 95% of the time when a incoming call would come in, the caller ID correctly displayed, the phone rang and vibrated correctly, my bluetooth even rung, yet i could not accept the incoming call. Even the accept button on the phones LCD would flash when i would hit it, yet the call still wouldn't answer. i could end the call with no problems, or even mute the ringer with no problems.
problem happens with bluetooth enabled and disabled. doesn't matter if i try and accept the call from the bluetooth.
if i'm on the phone, and another call comes in, i can switch between the calls no problems.
out going calls are working 100%.
so, i reloaded the 3.3.4 OS. Tested incoming phone calls, and they worked 100% of the time. I loaded my bluetooth, tested incoming calls, 100%. I loaded activesync, and after 30mins of letting everything sync (tons of emails, 4000 contacts, crazy calendar) i decided to test incoming calls. The problem starts to re-occur; incoming calls ring my phone, but i can't answer them!
[email protected]! i also search google and these forums and haven't seen anyone with a similar issue.

[SOLVED]Incoming diverted call notification

I'd like to bring again into attention this lack of functionality of both Android and WinMo devices.
As far as I know, with the exception of Nokia and some Sony-Ericson devices, no others notify about receiving a call made on a diverted phone.
That is, if I have 2 numbers (A and B) and A is diverted to B, if I receive a call on A I don't see a "diverted" icon (or sign of any kind) on the phone with number B.
Still no solution or software for this?
P.S. Also when you call somebody and you are waiting on line (the other party has "call waiting" activated), there is no "waiting" sign to notify you.
This call waiting issue is also present on iPhone. I don't understand why these two functions are not present in smartphones (except Nokia Symbian) and at the same time the cheapest dumb phones have them
Actually, call waiting works for me. Whenever I am on a call and someone else calls, I hear a beep and I can see on the screen that I have another call. If I don't answer, the other call stays in my call history as an unanswered call.
About the first issue, I wondered about that too. I had a really dumb Sony Ericsson phone which supported this feature.
P.S. I misread your call waiting issue... Whenever I call someone who has call waiting I get a beep that tells me I am waiting... However, as far as I know this is an operator feature. On another operator a voice actually tells you to wait because the other party is talking.

I didn't switch to another operator, I just switched from Nokia E66 to iPhone and later to Legend when I lost that feature.
i get another issu too !!
and am sure you all get it ..
in (smart) dumb phones when i call my manager (and my manager is already talking in a call with his wife for example) it gives me different call sound tone, to notify me he is in a call so i stop calling and wait to call again later ...
in (stupid) smart phones, Windows Mobile and Legend !
if i call my manager and he is already in a call, i never hear anything to notify me! so i dont stop my call , and it really seems so stupid and disturbing from me sometimes !
the reason is what ?
i dont really know ....
is it that much hard to put these simple options ?
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=11026
... suggests that the functionality is within the stock Android dialler, but not in the HTC dialler. Use a ROM that allows you to install the standard dialler and use that by default?

I was talking about "call waiting" notification when you are calling someone that has call waiting function, not when you are the one that is called and you're notified about a second incoming call. biomy explained better the idea that I was talking about.
And no, there is not about the operator. You can have a nokia on any carrier, it'll work the same. It's just the way the phone or it's software decodes the incoming call signal. As this is received by all phones the same, I presume any phone/software can decode it in the same way nokia is doing if it has this implemented. As far as I know though, there is no application on the market (paid or free) that does this simple thing. I'm sure most of us will even pay for it.
Same here.. All calls from my boss diverted to my number if he didn`t pick up phone in 10 seconds.. My old Nokia 6233 show green arrow for diverted calls, but no any notification about it with my Samsug Galaxy Spica and Samsung Galaxy S.

Any updates on this please?
I have the same issue. No diverted call icon when an incoming call which has been diverted comes through
No update...seems like nobody has found a solution to it. Still waiting, pity we don't have such thing
Maybe we're not so many that needs this, in order for someone to start looking and develop something. My hope is that a developer will need this feature at some time and he'll start doing it. (or we should find a Nokia with Android )
If some android phones have the diverted call notification (galaxy s on 2.1) can the code be ported to other devices?
I divert calls from my work phone to my personal mobile, and really need to be able to tell when I'm receiving a diverted call from my work number
Samsung is the second phone brand that includes this in all or most of their phones. Doesn't matter if it's Android or not, Nokia and Samsung has this feature (and as I know they're the only ones to do it).
Maybe there is hope if an Samsung Android phone (Galaxy S) has it...maybe there will be a developer that will try to find a way or reverse engineer the ROM to find the code for it. I am willing to pay for it for sure and I'm sure some other will as well.
Diverted Call Display app for Android
After the issue bothered me enough, I have made an attempt at detecting incoming diverted calls.
The app is using the device log to find out if an incoming call is diverted, and thus needs READ_LOGS permission. READ_PHONE_STATE is needed to get notified about incoming calls.
So far the app has been tested on CyanogenMod 5 and 7 on GSM/UMTS phones. It probably won't work at all on CDMA devices and neither on devices which already implement any type of diverted call notification.
Please test if it works for you and tell me your Android firmware version (and if it's an AOSP-based community firmware).
Nexus S 3G i9023, CM7.1.0-NS - works well )) Thank you.
Xperia Arc 2.3.4 original rom OK.
I would like to be saved in the call log.
It works perfect in HD2, HyperDroid-CM7-v5.3.0 [CyanogenMod7 LEO 2.3.7][seader_R9].
Thanks
That's a great thing, you've made...alot of people happy.
Unfortunately, I've changed my Legend and replaced it with a Desire S. Playing with other ROMs, I've finally installed a MIUI ROM and it seems this "diverted notification" IS integrated in MIUI. So for me the problem was solved by having a MIUI ROM. Though I'll ask my friend who's now the owner of my ex Legend to test this...he's still using CM 7.1 on it.
Works fine on Motorola Defy with MIUI 2.3.5.
Thank You very much Ge0rG for such a beautiful solution of that problem.
Can you please add to your application notification for "call waiting" and "on hold"?
Because Motorola's and HTC's doesnt have this features.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH!
P.S. I was talking about "call waiting" notification, when you are calling someone that has call waiting function & you call him on the second line.
Brilliant... Works a treat for me...
HTC Desire HD - Stock (Orange UK) ROM.
Android 2.3.3
Kernel 2.6.55.10
Thanks - brilliant idea and well implemented - congratulations.

Works on Nexus One with actual cyanogenmod nightly (cm_passion_full-253, 7.2.0-RC0(?)). Perfekt!
It will be great, if this could be included in cyanogenmod directly.

epinter's fantastic CM10 Phone Call Issue

Something i Noticed on my Atrix after flashing CM10 from EPinter was when i make a call it doesn't bring up the call end screen, it brings up the incoming call screen. ie, ignore, answer, text. I'm using http://goo.im/devs/epinter/epinter-cm10-20120729_1306-UNOFFICIAL-olympus.zip which appears to be the current build. is anyone else experiencing this?
Noticed that this is only on calls i place, on calls received it appears to be ok.
ignore this, apparently it was just being randomly evil. Seems to be alright today.

[Q] Phone Calls issue. Weird noises when calling out

Hi.
Im a newbie with the android system as i am more accustomed with the ios device.. I succesfully rooted my Samsung Glaxy S2 with BASEBAND version: DXLS8 and kernel version 3.0.31-jeboo [email protected] #26. Android version is 4.1.2. My problem is whenever i try to make outgoing call or receive incoming calls. During an outgoing call, there are times the call would last more than 15minutes without any issues same with incoming calls. However, problem arises when while dialling out or your in the middle of a call, there will be a weird noise and the call will eventually drop. According to the people i have on the other end of the line, they cant hear me while on my end all i hear is that weird noise that sounded like a video tape being rewinded or a dj scratching his cd. I got my phone 2nd hand and with the original firmware that comes with the phone (though i as never able to take note or create a recovery for the old firmware) i did not encounter any issue, thus, in my view may be reference to rule out that it is a hardware problem. Issue started when i downloaded and installed Globe Telecoms firmware. I tried looking for the solution from my end but to no luck. Will appreciate it very much if someone can help me with it. More power!
Thanks!

Question Inbound calls not working, outbound calls slow....

Has anybody else seen issues with calls. Almost all inbound calls go directly to voice mail. Outbound calls take 5+ seconds before they start ringing.
Unrooted, unmodded. Tmobile. Running Android 13.
driving me insane. called tmobile and they weren't able to help. are their any known bugs causing this? any suggestions?
i've played with just about every setting that i can think off short of doing a factory reset
thanks
I have been having the same issues, I'm at&t but I thought it was just my iPhone until I switch to the pixel 6 recently and I'm still not even a missed call notification for some calls, which actually included my wife. Sends her call straight to voicemail. Its really bothering.
