I'm having some issues with the phone, when I'm trying to answer the phone when I'm called, i'm getting some sort of lag, when I swype so I can answer the phone. It takes like 1-2 seconds to start the conversation, is there any fix for this ... :/

nonstop vibs and sound at new sms - help

hey there,
yesterday i switched my sms notification sound to a costum one (a song from one of my albums). today at work a got mail and, oh my god, the phone didn't stop to vibrate and play the song. i had to softreset the diamond as quick as possible to keep peoples attention on me as small as possible...
it didn't stop even after reading the sms, entering or leaving the mailbox and so on...
question: how the heck do i get the diamond stop vibrating and stuff after receiving new sms?
help will be welcome
I have this same issue
It's happened to me twice. The first time, it would not stop vibrating until I removed the battery from the phone! The second time, a power-off took care of the issue.
Regards,
M.O.

As I always say fellasss:
When things go sour just Hard Reset and try again.
If problems persist try with different ROMS.
Greetings.

No Call Waiting Alert: Please Help

Whenever I receive a call when I'm already on a call, I never hear a beep or anything to indicate that a call is coming in. When I hang up, I see that I have a missed call. Once when I was looking at the screen, it showed an incoming call (call waiting), but no "beep" or anything...
Any ideas?
Did you ever fix this?
I'm having the same issue. Just wanted to know if you fixed it?
.
Never got it fixed...
same issue
Upgrading cyanogen constantly and finally downgraded for cyanogen3.4 to 3.3.8, cuz my phone was shutting itself off every 6 or so hours.. Now, it is running AMAZING... Just no BEEP for call waiting.. It isn't that big of an issue, but still would like it to work..
I think it is something that needs to be PUSHED into the phone and reseting the phone and taking battery out will not do it..
PLEASE HELP !!
Hate to dreg up a post from two months ago, but I'm having the same issue on my G1. I'm running soullife's Rogers 2.9.2, but have experienced this on other ROMs as well. Wiped, flashed, wiped again... nothing.
I've been scouring the forums to no avail. It's been reported a few times but I can't find a resolution.
Could it be something to do with stripped ringtones or notifications? I'll fiddle with them and see what I can find...
Any tips would be appreciated!

no sounds with JACxHero 2.1 any ideas

Okay, so i already asked this int the topic like 5 times and got ignored each time. Same thing that always happens when i actually have a problem.
This rom was working perfectly for about 2-3 weeks when all of a sudden i don't get any notification sounds and sometimes no sound from the calls either.
Notification sounds don't work anywhere in the whole phone in any app.
if i go to pick the sound, it plays it just fine, and when i reboot it'll work for about 5 minutes. Then nothing will ever play a notification sound. I've tried switching to the built in sounds with no such luck. Nothing has been able to fix this.
all i want is a very simple answer. Is there anyway to fix this, or should i go wipe and reflash the phone which i'd much rather not do
I'm afraid the only answer I can provide is wipe and reflash. But before you do that, have you searched in the JACxHERO rom thread? If there isn't an answer there try asking in that thread.
yeah i tried searching and asked 5 times, got ignored each time so basically just decided to ask here.
Really wish there was a herorom with no issues (other than bluetooth+leds, i can live without that)

long delay placeing call? thanks

Can someone help me how come every so often I place press call after entering a number there can be a delay of 5 to 30 seconds where nothing happens. Or of I push the name of a recent call it has the same delay. If I push it many times sometimes it will continue placing new calls while I'm already called. I'm running Sprint 2.1 official. Thanks
you probably don't have very good service where you are, unless you deny that statement.
Only hit it once and you'll only make one call.
Sprint's rom is ridiculously slow and laggy.
More peopel could probably help you out with specific problems with sprint's rom on sprintforums.com or somewhere like that. NOT that we don't want to help, but problems often have different levels of depth, if you know what I mean. Or root and get ever CRAZIER problems and then stick around here!

thanks, but i think its the phone, because now when I click the green button the phone comes up immediately but nothing on the screen works. Its almost like clicking an image no beeps nothing.
Below is more detail of my problem
Can someone help me. How come every so often I try to place a call their is a long delay.
For example I will push the green call button to bring up the phone. Then I will click on a name from my recently used numbers and I will click the number I want to call and it will highlight then nothing. After 10 to 15 seconds does it vibrate and place the call and go to the screen with the timer and the end button. If I get impatient and keep pressing the number (selection goes green for a second) nothing happens for 10 to 15 seconds then the call is placed and it will continue dialing, holding, and conference call as I try to talk to that person.
This delay also happens when I dial a number, and the number keypad is slightly sluggish when dialing.
Please note I a running Sprint Official OS2.1 and even though the Phone Application is sluggish outside phone mode the device seems to run when when using other internet. I am also getting strong bars and EV.
I would really appreciate your help; I just got this phone 2 days ago and really like it, but this one fault is killing it for me.
Please Help me.
Thanks
please somebody help me other than that i really like this phone.

Since you are not rooted and not running a custom ROM, this is probably not the best place to ask for help. You should call Sprint directly or check out the website/forum listed above.....
This lag is common on this particular phone. Just look at all the threads about dialer lag. 2.1 made the dialer lag even worse IMO. A custom ROM may or may not fix it for you.
i'm run Aloysius and Darchdroid I have the lag too. I dont know the problem i just wait.
i run DC and its laggy too... i bet its the dialer app...
that huge delay in actually dialing the number is an issue with all of the ROM's based on the official 2.1 (and the last leak as well I believe). No idea why it happens, but I hope a dev manages to figure out how to fix it soon, because it's the biggest annoyance for me
lag everywhere
i agree, the dialing lag is very annoying. also I have issues when im using the web browser while trying to tap on the url bar or in a search field the phone just hangs and doesn't bring up the keyboard.
while my buddie is already looking at a web page or search results on his very responsive palm pre webos im stuck waiting swearing at my phone lol.
But given all the things you can do to androids compaired to webos ill take the lag.
It was so bad for me that I took my phone into a sprint store and showed them how f'ed up it was. They said that it was happening a lot...evidently they have an internal forum where these issues get posted and the tech I talked to at the store said he saw a ton of posts referencing this same issue. They told me, however, that my phone passed diagnostics and that I could make and receive calls, to which I responded, "sure, I can make calls, but it barely functions as a phone." They sent me on my way, and I figured that was that until I got a text 2 days later saying that my replacement phone was in.
When I went to pick it up, the store rep said, "We'll have to reload the update for you" and I told him not to bother. Whatever issues 1.5 had, they were better than the enourmous issues with 2.1. Of course, as soon as I got it home, I rooted it (the 2.1 root came out the next day) and had 2.1 running quick as a fox anyway.
I have had the same issue, but have discovered one important thing by looking at the logs and just observing... This does not happen when using WiFi. I have a log showing that this problem is related to turning the radio off in order to make the call. For those who do not know, this is unique to CDMA in that it cannot use both data and voice at the same time. For some reason it is taking forever to turn data off in order to make the call. This has been reported to Flipz and he is looking into it, but until then I guess you just have to put up with it or go back to a 1.5 rom.
For those to say that the problem doesn't exist on rooted phones or that he should go somewhere else is not giving any good advise.
I have been rooted for several months and never really had any problems with an extremely long delay until recently. . I know if I am rebooting my phone I have to wait a little bit to do anything, even after Sense has finished loading or i will have the same problem. I'm sure you were not rebooting your phone when this happened.
Here was my experience 2 days ago...
I tried making a call and pressed on the contacts name. It was just sitting there. After 20 seconds it still wasn't calling, so I pressed the name again and after 15 more seconds it began calling the person. And then it started dialing again. I hit End Call and attempted to do it again. I had the same problem. I then rebooted my phone and waited 5 minutes and tried again and had the same results. In between pressing the contact and the phone actually calling it just sat on the contact screen. I have had the same ROM running on my phone for 3 weeks and this was the first problem I had like this.
At first I thought it was with Sprint, but it should have atleast gone to the calling screen and said dialing if it was even attempting to call.
If you have had this problem was it just stuck on the dialer/contact screen or was it on the screen that says dialing/calling?
It gets stuck on the dialer/contact screen. I had this problem slightly with 1.5, but it is far worse in 2.1 including all official 2.1-based roms. The problem is present in all 2.1 based versions of Fresh and Fresh Toast.
I had this problem on every 2.1 ROM. It went away with Fresh Toast and the 710 Kernel. Now the most lagg I get on the dialer is between 1 or 2 seconds. Before it could be 10 seconds before the call placed. I am extremely happy with that overclocked ROM. Try it out if you want.

[Q] Back and Options button...

I've searched the note forum praying for at least one other person to have this issue, there seem to be none. I am really worried.
Sometimes, after a phone call, the 'back' and 'menu' buttons become inactive, as in they don't respond. They light up when you touch the screen, but they don't respond at all. It started happening about a month after I bought the phone. Initially I thought it was a bug from some ROM. I've done several factory resets and flashed new ROMs. The problem doesn't seem to go away. I don't know what to do.
I have to reboot every time this happens, but then it only stays till I get/make a phone call. It doesn't always happen after the first phone call. Sometimes it happens after the second, third etc. But it always happens. Please help.
Thank you for helping me.
You are not alone... happens to me every now and then. Reboot is the only option...
Sent from my GT-N7000 using XDA App
same here since i got the phone with the stock rom, have tried a few custom rom, problem still remains
sorry wrong post ignore
It is very very annoying. I wanted to know if its a hardware issue or a software issue. Rebooting every time after a couple of phone calls is simply unacceptable. If only a very few people have this problem, its probably a hardware issue.
I really want to find a solution. I've grown really fond of the phone, and I don't want to sell it.
