[Q] aosp froyo question (wont drop call!) - Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Flashed to also froyo the other day, flashed newer radio about an hour ago and am now getting a most annoying problem.
Usually I use VVM but it says I have zero msgs but my alert light keeps blinking which drives me nuts.
So I click listen to voicemail from the drop down menu and from that point on, I can't access the dial pad, can't access drop down menu, cannot end call!!! I have to reboot in order to end call. So far its just my voicemail this happens with.
Any suggestions?

That sounds weird, I would redownload and reflash the rom, it shouldn't do that.

Use Google Voice. VVM is causing a lot of problems with users right now.

Disable "Charge Complete" Sound

Anyone know how to disable the charge complete sound from this phone?
I plugged the phone in to charge and went to bed. 3 hours later the phone started beeping non-stop until I physically came down and acknowledged the notification.
What an annoying thing to happen especially since I was SLEEPING! lol
(If this has been asked before, I apologize, I tried searching for this both here and the internet and all I could find was a hack for the WindowsMobile Omnia phone).
Thanks.

put your phone on silent when you go to bed!
surely you do not sleep with your phone ringer on do you?
the alarm clock works fine when the phone is on silent.

It would be nice to be able to disable the charging complete notification, and leave all other ringers and notifications turned on. I have to leave my ringers on 24/7 for emergency work calls.

hmm
you could try reduce the notification volume down to zero at bed time, Im not sure the battery charge is regarded as notification, either that or "system" volume.
if you want that automated, get tasker, a VERY good app to automates tuff, like change your volume levels for different things at different times of day or based on location etc etc, amazing app.

I have a solution, that works perfectly, and it also means your phone wont bug you EVERY single notification (otherwise you get woken up by spam in your gmail).
1) Upgrade your firmware.. The latest firmware still has the "charged thing", but its done a different way.
2) Set your global Notification tone to silent in settings, but leave volume loud.
2) Set a tone in Messaging (so you get SMS), and any other applications you want to be notified with..
Boom, no annoying bleeping sound, and spam wont wake you.. If you have vibrate turned on though, your phone will still vibrate in your pocket when you get an email

Which firmware do you have because I've tried that but it's still not working?...
Edit --> Better yet where do you change the "global Notification tone"?
I can change the SMS tone, but I don't see the global Notification tone where I can change that to silent but still get SMS sounds?...
I use an automatic profile switcher its free from market and it sets my phone to silent at 21:00 and back to normal at 07:30 simples
Do wish 2.1 had this. I hate the fact that every notification uses the same tone from downloads complete to new emails and new text messages. It's kinda like moving backwards that you can't even set custom sms tones.

That is the file I delete to get rid off the beep that comes when the phone is charged to 100%

Constant Beeping After Boot

=======================================================================
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<SOLVED>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
I found this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-1052796.html) which indicates that a voicemail alert, prior to the media scanner completing, causes this issue.
=======================================================================
So this morning I rebooted my phone. After it loaded into the home screen (but, before it connected to the network or finished media scanning) it began beeping, loudly. I was only able to silence it by turning the phone to silent mode. This beeping continued for roughly two minutes then stopped.
At no point was there any alert or message to indicate that the system had booted up in a manner that was abnormal. After repeated tries, the device makes this noise upon boot, religiously.
What the hell is it, and how do I stop it?
Seriously? Anyone? This is obnoxious.
Maybe if you gave more info...like rom...kernel...stock...recent apps...

Well, my ROM info is in my signature and I am running the default Serendipity kernel (hardcore speedmod). There have been no recent alterations to system settings, setup, or applications. No new apps installed, or uninstalled, in the past week. And nothing is open on the device when the beeping occurs (as the phone is still starting up).
Let me take a stab...might work, might not
Do you use Google Voice?
I was having an issue last month where the phone would give the odd old G1 beeping sound as soon as it reached the homescreen after reboot. Found it was a rogue google voice email message that was trying like hell to give me a notifier, but was failing miserably. Check your web console for GV and see if you have a new message waiting to be read (or listened to), open t so it doesn't eed to notify. That stopped my crazy beeping.

I do not use Google Voice. It is, however, installed on the device. When I open it I am given a series of setup questions, so I don't imagine that it is telling me that I have a message waiting.
I originally thought that it was a message alert from some program. The problem with that is that it goes on for nearly one-hundred and twenty seconds and does not give me any visual indication of what it is attempting to alert me to.
My main concern is that it is some sort of hardware warning and that I am ignoring it out of ignorance.
Does the beeping stop when you pull down the notification bar as it would to silence an actual notification?

Can you identify which file on the phone is the actual beep sound? I'm just wondering if something is specifically calling the sound file, or if it is random. If you could identify the file and delete or rename it, it might help troubleshoot to see what your phone would do/attempt to do.

My beeping stops when i pull down the notification tray. I have been tethering for about a week without paying AT&T extra money with PDANet. Have they caught me?
This ringtone, for lack of a better word, is buried in the rom somewhere. It is called something like unresolved. Maybe reinstall kernel. this has happened to me before... I just can't remember how I fixed it.

HELP. all incoming calls go to speakerphone in CM7

i'm not completely sure, but i remember seeing an option on CM7 somewhere that said incoming calls to speakerphone. i turned it on, then i updated to 7.02, now i can't find that option anywhere, but it's still turned on. and ALL my incoming calls turn the speakerphone on without any way to stop it.
i've spent hours going through all 120 apps in my phone and in every single setting trying to find something to turn it off. I've even used titanium backup to try and wipe the settings and CM settings with no luck.
I don't mind this being a toggle on/off like the carmode app, but i can't have it always on. I have to ignore important calls now just because it takes 10 seconds for the phone to actually let me turn off the speaker.
so please, if anyone can help me here. i'm about ready to wipe the phone but i seriously don't want to waste and entire day doing that so someone please help.
I font remember ever seeing this option in my cyan 7. Interesting.

Yeah I don't recall that settings.
maybe it wasn't and i'm just crazy, but i'm still having this issue, and i'm about to wipe my phone to fix it, so if anyone knows any other way i'd seriously appreciate it.
Maybe try to wipe Cyanogenmod Settings using Titanium Backup? If all else fails...instead of doing a full wipe...try the /system only wipe that tamasek has in the nightly forum somewhere...that way...your data and apps are still in tact...and can just flash a new nightly...then if it still doesn't work...I guess you already know what to do.
I can't believe it but this actually happened to me today. I hung up and had the caller call back and it went back to normal.
Did you ever get it fixed? I put the newest stable version on my EVO and I have the same issue all outgoing calls go right to speakerphone and all incoming go right to speakerphone..
Also I notice carmode starts up on it's own as well.. but turning it off incoming/outgoing calls will still right to the speakerphone

Can't Answer Incoming Calls!

This ones throwing me for a loop
Turbo has been brilliant aside from one tiny issue that i'm only now realizing...
Upon Receiving an incoming call my phone rings & vibrates - but will not display any alert on the screen (or lock screen) that there is an incoming call. If I unlock the phone as it's ringing the normal home screen is displayed and after a ring or two I receive the below "Mobile Data not available" prompt. Pressing ok results in the phone going back to the homescreen with once again, no further dialog to answer/ignore/mute the call (nothing in the notification bar either). Eventually the call will make it to voicemail as i can't answer it, and i get a prompt missed call notification.
Items i've checked so far:
disabled apps - re-enabled to make sure nothing got zapped that's interfering
Mobile data is enabled under settings
OTA Update was applied & Phone works fine otherwise, solid 4G service in populated area...
Thoughts/ideas?
TIA! :good:
Edit: (can't post images/links as i don't have enough posts)
Note the missed call notification icon is displayed from a previous call when as i was trouble shooting:

Have you tried a factory reset? -- Don't install any apps or change any settings, give your phone a ring after the reset, if it goes through then start installing or changing whatever settings, BUT while doing that if there's anything you suspect may alter the phone calls; test it again and see if you can find the culprit.
Solved!
Dialer app had "show notifications" box unticked
Not sure how that happened
for anyone experiencing the same issue:
Settings>Apps>All>Dialer - confirm the notification box is checked
was right about to wipe the phone and reset, glad i stumbled across it:good:
Wished I would have seen this thread yesterday. I had the same problem. Phone would ring, but I had no answer icon show up for me to click on. I finally took the phone into Verizon and they did a full wipe or factory default. That fixed the problem, but, I had to redo everything.

My Turbo had same problem. I stopped by Verizon store in mall and 3 people looked at it and they are sending me a new one. After reading this post I checked notifications on dialer app and its fixed. Guess I'll give them the new one back when it comes.

[Q] Voicemail notification only goes away on a sense ROM

This is going to sound weird, but I have a persistent voicemail notification that only goes away if I switch to sense (which I don't want to do). When I call my voicemail, it says my inbox is empty. Every GPE ROM I've used caused me to have the notification. I've talked with Sprint multiple times, I've had them reset my voicemail box, but I still have the notification. Do any of you guys know how to fix this?
