[Q] Unable to answer calls

If my phone is doing something in the background, and a phone call comes in it won't always go to the screen to allow me to answer the call. I'll hear the ringtone, and it vibrates, however the screen is black and none of the buttons will work to mute the ringing.
Anyone else experience this?

I have had the same issue. Not sure how to fix it.

I've been having this for awhile... it has gotten really bad now. I can't answer any calls. In apps, third party or default, even if the phone is just sitting on the home screens. Screen on or off. No matter what I get two vibrations before the screen does anything, then black for two more vibrations, then the ringtone comes... with no slide to unlock. Eventually I get it sometimes, but even then if I slide, it is too late, the call has already passed. And often I get a pop-up saying that the phone service has stopped working, usually that comes if I slide it, I assume because it's trying to answer a call that isn't there. Idk what to do.
I'm probably going to have to take the phone back. It wasn't a big issue when i first got the phone, an occasional thing, but the past two weeks it's every incoming call. I'm well out of my 30 days... so I don't even know what I can get AT&T to do for me, but... I don't have a lot of choice.

Waranty replacement is what they can do, others have done this, just call them, you have a waranty.

I have experienced this a couple of times recently. Yet another issue for Sammy and their big open beta. C'mon Sammy! Let's see some updates already!

[Q] HTC One weird issue ? Network problems

Hi guys, I have a very strange issue with my HTC One regarding call reception, I've tried to search but can't really find anything so I hope this post is ok.
Firstly- I'm running the latest TrickDroid ROM, and whilst I'm 90% sure this problem existed on Stock there's still that 10% of me that isn't too sure.
Basically, whenever my girlfriend calls me, most of the time it doesn't show her contact name (it will if I ring her, however), and instead just display the phone number, but not with ANY OTHER CONTACT. (just realised the only thing I can think of differentiating her from any other contact is I have a direct dial widget on my homescreen for her)
Then, to make things even weirder, almost every time she tries to call me my phone will ring for a SPLIT SECOND, and then will cut out; and I won't have any missed calls.
She's told me about this for weeks now (she hates my phone, but I love it :<), but earlier I noticed what actually happens, as my phone was right in front of me.
When she calls, there is the split second ringtone, but then I noticed my network reception completely cuts out! This only lasts a few seconds then usually its fine, however there are times she's notified me that she's been trying to call for up to ten minutes to no avail (which I can see would be extremely frustrating).
Is my phone faulty? Should I take it back to Carphone Warehouse or is there anything I can try/do about it, also if anyone else has this problem I'd be intrigued to see how many!
Thanks guys, only flaw on a near-perfect handset!

no suggestions

Put back the stock Rom and see if it happens, you are the only one who can test it.
Also, try calling yourself from time to time either from a pc or another phone, the fact that it is your girlfriend calling doesn't have anything to do with it

I didnt see any name only numbers when people calling me, that was on trickdroid.
I went back to stock and the problem solves, now im using Revolution and no problem at all. So i think i choose something wrong in trickdroid or its a bug, but im glad with my revolution now.

The thing is, I'm so sure it was an issue on stock aswell, since I was on stock for at least a week before I flashed TrickDroid, and my girlfriend was complaining about my phone as soon as I got it.
You say my girlfriend calling has nothing to do with it, I shall repeat again it is ONLY her trying to ring me that causes this issue, I make and receive a lot of phone calls and have a very active social life - my unlimited minutes tariff reflects this, and only when she calls does this strange problem occur.
The fact her contact doesn't display is just a minor problem I can live with, I'm more concerned about the fact that when she calls my reception drops almost instantly.

It must be a coincidence then because there is no logical explanation to this

Multiple Turbo's, Multiple Problems

Let me start off by saying that I really like this phone and I'm no where near giving up on it.
With that said, I bought 3 of these within the first couple of days after release.
For me - Current occupation - IT System Administrator with 18 years of experience in various areas of IT
My son - Current in college, going for his Computer Science degree.
My daughter - Currently in college and surrounded by tech her whole life as I am a tech lover.
I mention who we are only so people don't assume that we are typical end users that can't figure out the difference between their heads and their asses.
My son has returned his Turbo twice (both metallic black). The first time, he had major scrolling issues. Phone would "fling" through pages unprompted while touching the screen. The second one he returned because there is a glue problem or something like it with the back of the phone, near the bottom. Makes a creaking noise (loud) if you press on the back near the bottom.
My daughter has just returned her first (32 GB Ballistic). Hers will not connect to WiFi without a reboot. Very annoying. Airplane mode first then trying didn't work.
Mine - I have not returned by 64 GB Ballistic yet but I think I am going to exchange it. I have problems with WiFi connecting also. It isn't as bad as hers in that mine occasionally connects without a reboot. In addition, mine definitely has some sort of touch screen issue. The screen becomes unresponsive at times and requires me to press the home button to "reset" the screen. I installed display tester and checked the multi-touch test and found that sometimes it won't register all fingers or one fingers touch is chaotic, wiggling all around while the others are ok. I also have a volume issue of some kind. I have to turn the phone up past half volume just to hear it... even in a quiet room.
I do really like this phone and have every intention of keeping it assuming that I can get one that doesn't have issues. Not sure if it was rushed or whatever but there is a definitely some build quality issues going on here.... Makes me very sad.

This is an issue for some and I believe there are some youtube videos demonstrating it.

For the call volume issue try disabling the equalizer, I read on here from a few people that that is the fix, I use the equalizer but haven't had a problem with the sound.

Thanks guys. I'm surprised that there haven't been more comments. I was kind of hoping that people would say, "no problems here" or "yeah dude, wtf". Still love this phone. I think its the motorola apps and how they have nailed it in the "what I personally like" categories. Active screen and such are great.

I'm one of the few who got a good Turbo. Bought it on launch day and have had none of the problems people on here have mentioned. No creaking on the back, no scroll issue, no screen temperature issue, nothing. The connectivity issues you talk about don't happen to me. I'd say just keep getting them exchanged until you have a good one.

OMG FINALLY someone with my same problems! So I'm not going crazy. I swapped it out once, had same issue with the new one, but now it seems the issue is only at my works wifi. I have seen online there are issues with the phone and Cisco routers, and I assume we have Cisco routers here at work since our phones are Cisco...so I'm just chalking it up to an issue with my works wifi and letting it go. But what happens for me is I'll connect to wifi and then it'll disconnect randomly, so I have to either turn airplane mode on and off and fiddle with that and "forgetting" the network, or just restart my phone. It's rather annoying, but I have no other option as the phone works wonderfully on all other wifi networks.

Never knew I had the same glue/creaking problem until I read this. Now it will bug me until I do something about it. ?. What's the solution? Exchange or diy repair?

What's the verdict on the crackling noise underneath the ballistic nylon? Did they exchange it?

Only problem I have is the call volume could be a little louder. Coming from a S4 I usually had to turn it down.

I'm really wondering if you guys that are having trouble with call volume are not holding the speaker in the right position. I never had a problem with my call volume until today. My third call of the day seemed to be extremely quiet until I repositioned the phone and got the speaker lined up more with my ear. For comparison sake, I had to do the same on my S3 on almost every call, so I wouldn't consider this phone bad on that account either. It's something easy to try anyways before exchanging a potentially otherwise good/perfect phone. If it doesn't work you wasted 10 seconds.

Yeah, they exchanged it. No real problems with Verizon in that regard.

I dont think its just Cisco though I did read some other articles about that and the type of wifi encryption. This has been at a few different locations. For my daughter, it happens at our home but my son doesn't have any issue.

Weird dial tone noise when talking on phone problem

For the past couple months I have been experiencing a weird issue when using my note 4. When I'm talking on phone it sounds like someone is pushing a number to dial. But the person I'm talking to can't hear the button being push.

You probably have minute reminder on. Go to settings>applications>call>call alerts>uncheck minute reminder

Finally someone else who has experienced this issue!
I always blamed my mother when she called me from the UK or if I called her. I thought perhaps she pushed a key on her phone by accident, but the occurance is often. Now it could be her, I dont know but since you bring it up..
Either way, it also occured on my previous phone the Note 3.

Problems with incall volume and speaker

Hi all
More than a month ago I sent my z3c to assistance because the magnetic charger sideburn was unsticking.
It came back a week later with a new one, all was perfect looking. But then a new problem appeared.
In the next days people started telling me that my voice was too weak during calls. I decided to check and have some tests. I found that my the voice at the other side of the call was really too weak and too low, not consistant, with interruptions, and that when i try to activate the speaker, it gets even worse. They can hear a loud background noise and the return of their voice, plus others rumors, with the result that having a normal call is almost impossible.
Since that moment, I already sent my phone twice to the service summing up to 4 times, (the first was this summer for the sim flap which couldn't close). I'm sending them emails every time explaining the problem; once they made an electrical fix, the second time they changed the logicboard, but the problem is still there.
I'd like to know if some of you has or had the same problem and how they fixed it. I asked to change mine with another but it seems like they don't want to.
It's always been stock, i don't think another rom could fix the problem
I want my phone operative... I even had to buy something else in the meantime otherwise i would have been for more than a month without a phone (I bought a OPX )
Thank you for the attention

Anyone?

Hi,
really no one knows something? Today I got my phone back for the 5th time, and again it has the same issue.... And they don't want to give me another one..
I honestly don't know what the hell could I do...
Thanks
