I have a strange problem. When my XDA Ignito is in standby (sleep), when I get an incomming call, the phone dialler does not load up to show the caller ID and answer/ reject soft keys.
The phone rings, and I get the "send text" option in the bottom left, but I can just see my standard home screen. I cannot see anywat to envoke the dialler screen and thus handle the call/ see who is calling.
This seems to only happen when the phone has been idle for a longer period of time.
Any ideas what the problem could be?
Thanks in advance

I don't know if there's a setting I missed or is this a major bug but if my phone's keyboard is slid out and my phone rings, I slide the keyboard in then wait for the phone to switch from landscape to portrait. Once it does what it does, I can no longer answer the call. I've tried hitting the "Answer" on the screen, the shortcut key assigned to it, and the green phone. I end up missing the call. Is this normal or is there a setting I can set?
Also, when I'm editing a contact and accidentally hit call, it will call the person first before I can cancel the call. I've repeatedly hit the red phone button and the "End Call" but it doesn't work until the call connects first. On all the previous phones I've ever owned and played with, I can cancel the call anytime before the call connects. Is this normal with this phone?

I thought that I remembered having the same thing happen, but in fact when I just tested I was able to slide the keyboard in and answer the call. There is just a little delay, but it did work for me after about 3 seconds. It even worked with 1 key press, and not repeatedly pressing the send key.

I think this is the same thing, just a little delay. I do this all the time and I just keep hitting end. It will always quit before it actually starts dialing.
I have a TyTn II and am very satisfied with it. However I have an annoying problem and would appreciate any help to fix it. When I have an incoming call, according to the instruction manual I can answer either by pressing the "Call" button (the one with the green telephone symbol) or by touching the softkey for "answer" (or the area on the touchscreen where "answer" is written). In practice, only the second method works. I have lost calls by insisting on keeping the call button pressed instead of using the softkey.
The call button works just fine for accessing the phone dialer, so it is not a hardware problem. Is there somewhere in the registry where the call button has to be mapped to answer incoming calls?
I live in Italy and use TIM as a provider. This should not influence things at all.
I am having a similar problem with my Mogul, except neither the green call button nor the "answer" softkey will work for me.
Is there a way to simply REJECT incoming call (caller hears 'busy' signal when i press red button)?
For now there's no difference between pressing end call hardware button, 'igore' software button, mute ring button and flipping the phone. Every action just mute ring, but DO NOT REJECT.
And I want to REJECT caller, when i want him to know that his call is not welcome in that moment.
Thx for help or tips how to make it work
press the hangup key?
The End Call hardware button definitely rejects. Does it not?
End call hardware button = hangup key = definitely NOT or maybe it's a matter of setting which i don't know where to look ;(
OK, just tried. I called myself from a different phone. The moment I press the hardware button I hear the busy signal...
ok, i tried too from 2 other phones - no busy signal - after pressing hardware button cannot do anything on Diamond, until other caller hangs off.
The moment of hangin off is thee moment when today screen backs.
strange... - settings maybe????
**********
OK, GOT IT!
Problem is in settings -> Phone -> Band
When set to auto - problem occurs
When manually set network type
red button really rejects.
Problem solved
But I still wonder why
I have exactly the same behaviour with my Diamond on Orange Switzerland Network. Changing the band settings to manual solved the problem! thanks for the tip!
But I'm wondering why too... :-/
Does not work here. (o2, Germany). If I get a call and press the reject button on screen the caller hears the message that the number is not availbale instead of a bussy signal.
Has someone a solution please cause this behavour is very confusing for the caller.
Thank you!
Solved the problem
I have set the wrong voice box number Now if someone calls me and I reject the call using the reject button the caller gets routed to my voicebox...
thanks........
This is a workaround for getting missed call notifications in addition to SMS notifications whilst using STAMINA mode.
Note this only works for anybody who hasn't upgraded their firmware yet. Upgrading apparently "fixes" this (useful) bug and you don't get notified at all any more.
The notification LEDs only appear to stay flashing in STAMINA mode if the event occurs when screen is off. This is why SMS notification works, as an incoming SMS doesn't wake the phone. Phone calls,on the other hand, cause the screen to come on, so the notification LEDs don't remain flashing after the missed call. It's the nature of the "bug" it seems.
So, missed calls have to be converted to SMS. The free app "Missed Call Messenger Lite" does this. If a call is missed it fires off an SMS. If you put your own number as the SMS destination, you send yourself an SMS which comes back shortly, time depending on how busy your network is, usually 2-5 seconds.
The problem is, if your network returns the SMS too quickly it arrives whilst the screen is still lit from the phone call. Luckily the app has a delay setting ("call log timeout" - under "Advanced Settings") which delays sending the SMS. Default is 5 secs. If you set 15 secs or longer it should work, the SMS being delayed until after the screen goes off. You need to include Missed Call Messenger in your STAMINA mode exception list,or the SMS won't get sent!.
There's one more thing you need to do. There is already an automatic entry in contacts, right at the top, called "Myself", and the bounced back SMS will be from "Me". Unfortunately you can't set the illumination for "Myself", so you have to create another contact with your own number.
You could name it "Missed Call" or similar, and if you begin it with an underscore it will end up out of the way at the bottom of the contact list. Luckily the system picks up your new contact rather than "Myself" when your own number comes in, and the LED bar flashes.
It sounds a complicated workaround but it actually works without any fuss,so you can now have phone and SMS notifications.
Just to repeat, this only works for the original firmware.
Only when in driving and Home "talk to me" mode, here's the scenario:
Incoming call and the screen flashes blank to calling card then blank , back and forth while the phone is ringing. the moto voice says "incomin....incoming, call fr....incoming......incoming ca.." while flashing. I also see the mute microphone icon in the status bar flashing on and off at same time. I can touch the center and slide to answer.
This only happens in driving/home Talktome mode while receiving a incoming call.
what is it supposed to do while in driving mode when you get a call?

PROBLEM SOLVED. Seems I removed the app Shush and all is fine
I figured what would interfere with the mute on my phone since it was flashing that icon...removed shush and that was it
