Hi guys & gals
My boss bought his mother an S4 (she's in her late 80's).
He says that everytime he tries to call her in the morning it goes straight to voice mail. So the one morning he went to her house, tried to call her there, didnt work, he then made a call to himself, it worked, then he called her, and then only it worked.
has anyone ever come across something like this, where the phone seemingly goes 'dormant' and wont accept calls unless you make one first?
i've tried google, and cant find anything like this or remotely like it.
i have an S4 myself and have never had this problem.
the only thing i can think of to solve it is to update to 4.2.2 - maybe that will solve this unknown problem - but i'd still like to know what the problem is.
Yes, my S4A does this occasionally. At some point it'll stop accepting calls until you make a call on it. Even if there's great service. I also wish to know what might cause this. It's very irritating, particularly since there's no way to know it's happening unless someone tells you they tried to call you and it went to voicemail. You could be missing calls and not even know it.

I've had my tilt since november, and just the past couple off weeks, when i make calls i've notice that there is static on my end, and every so often the person on the other end will complain about static, i didn't think much of it for a while until it kept happening, i also noticed that occasionally when i dial the call will drop immediately when i hit the send button even though i have full service anyone else had these issues and if so did you have to return it or was it fixable?

I've never heard of this issue......Have you called your service people......sounds like a phone thing....have you flashed your rom?.....

never flashed my rom or anything like that, haven't called the service peeps yet, wanted to see if i could find a fix here first, but looks like i'll have to stop in at the local store i bought it from tomorrow. i just hope it repeats what it's been doing for them so i can show them what i mean.

they should give you one with no problems........If you never flashed then I think it truely your phone.....even if you did flash.....no one I've heard has had this problem due to flashing......
Peace

YES I've searched for this problem, IDK if I didn't use the correct keywords. Didn't find what I needed.
Anyways, day before yesterday people have said they couldn't hear me on their end talking to me. I ONLY use the handset- the actual phone, no headset Weird. I haven't made any new settings changes. No water has contacted my phone. Hmm...
Well today, NOTHING can be heard. I mean NOTHING. So I decided to try the notes thing and use the recorder and it just does the buzzing noise. Is my phone slowly dying? First the screen blacks out when the keyboard slides out, now this? Fun.
Would anyone know what could cause this or how to fix it? IDK when I'd be able to get to the only place that can fix my poor sick X1i . I know it's not the ppl on the other end b/c its more than one person, etc. And I did ANOTHER hard reset. Still acting up.
I have to retreat back to using my ATT Quickfire for now until I get my phone fixed. Shame, spend 600$+ on a phone and it doesn't work.
I have the same problem. My X1 has been fallen a few times and I don't know if that is the reason for this problem?
Same here
My microphone doesn't work and the screen goes crazy when I open the keyboard. I think I will try to disassemble the phone and see if there is something disconnected.
thats weird, i have the same problem... well it started two weeks back when people started complaining that my voice was too soft when talking on the phone. and just this morning i "slided" the keyboard out and suddenly the screen goes blank.
im goin to try downgrading to R2 rom. im using the latest from SE atm.
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

is fast dormancy a thing that could be concerned? can't quite understand it as i'm not quite sobre at the moment but this seems like it could be related?
Hi guys,
I didn't use my phone for calling for about 10 days and today I used it again and my Z1's microphone didn't work! It was working the last time I had called someone so I figured it must be other person's phone. However, when another person called me, it also didn't work. I then went into the service menu and tested the microphone there and it didn't work also...
I was really frustated and already digged into my spare phone archive and was going to decide if I have to use my old K850i for calling or my Samsung clamshell when I decided to make a reboot. Luckily, it worked again after the reboot, both in service menu and in calls.
I hope it stays this way and it was only a one of a kind failure.
My question now is: Did anyone else have this before and it worked again after reboot or did it come back?
If this should happen again, I will be forced to send it in for warranty as this is clearly a warranty case and the phone was only bought in September!
P.S.: This was the first time that this happened with any of my phones in the last 12 years!
First off I am on AT&T with an AT&T Nexus 6. Second I have encountered a new issue with this phone. I searched and found nothing like it.
Here's what my phone is doing. I received a text from a friend a few days ago. But only the message came in under a different friends name. Example, a one friend "John" said hey man did you see my new truck? I replied yeah it looks pretty nice. I then back arrow out of my stock messenger app and when I do "Johns" name changes to "Todd". Then " Todd sends me back huh?
Same thing when I send a message. I will send it to one person and my phone will change it to another persons name.
I have had this problem stock and on custom roms.
Is anyone else experiencing this sort of issue?
@konaman,
This probably won't help you, but I'm on AT&T with branded N6 and I've never had nor heard of a problem like yours. Not sure what to tell you....
Yeah I haven't either but this is a really big deal, privacy wise. I'm going to sit down tonight and record myself texting until I can get this to happen again. I got a text from a friend named Mike once and we replied to each other several times and the message went to another person at the same time. It is very weird and annoying.
Another annoying problem I have is my phone will hang up on people when I either answer a call or call someone. As soon as I or they begin to speak, click. It hangs right up.
I have never had so many problems as I have had with this phone. I'm about to give up on it.
