I'm getting a lot of dropped calls on my G2, I've re flashed it a few times but still the calls drop. I've also edited the mobile network settings and changed the preferred network type and it still drops after about 5 minutes. I even put in a replacement sim card as well as gotten a replacement phone. Anyone have any ideas?
I have problems with the proximity sensor, maybe you're hitting the hang up button with your cheek

I doubt it I've tried holding it at just about every angle and it still happens :/
Tried some more stuff
Okay so now I'm absolutely 100% sure it's the rom. I've tried flashing on the nightlies which to my surprise were a lot more stable than the milestone release I was on. I tried using google voice and voice+ in order to voip the calls, which worked but still dropped like a fly. I held the phone at every angle possible so the proximity sensor is definitely ruled out. I have a fairly good connection in my area and was able to call on stock without any issues. It also appears that I am the only one experiencing this type of problem. Is there somebody out there that can help me troubleshoot it?
Make sure you leave your lock screen in place as your ear may be hang your phone up. :good:

I figured it out, just said screw it and moved to another rom. Now the calls no longer drop.

Ok so i am trying to determine what my problem is.. here are the symptoms. When i try and end a call i sometimes have to press multiple times or deliberately press and hold the end button and sometimes it doesn't respond pretty much at all. Also i am using go launcher and when i press icons that are in the dock bar they have the same issues. I also have similar issues when i text it's really annoying so is anyone else have similar issues?

Same here. I've noticed that to hang up it takes a deliberate double tap. Also, the screen will sometimes become inoperable requiring a reboot. This has happened three times since first getting it. One note if that out happened twice stock, and once with decrapped 1.1
Any body else seen this?

I haven't seen it anywhere else, but I have seen the double tap on the end button to end a call. Seems to happen frequently. A "feature?"
Either way, it's annoying.
Running Go Launcher as well.
To me, it seems like it takes the screen a really long time to wake up from being off, in all cases - for example, dial voicemail and put the phone to your ear. When you get the prompt to put in your PIN, take it away and the screen comes on, try to punch the dialpad button immediately and it just won't work. I tried it as I was writing this and had to triple tap the button.
Same thing with the lockscreen (still on the stock lockscreen for now). The screen will wake up and it takes a second or two to even start to register finger swipes. It's really annoying...
Speaking of phone lockup, I received a call a few days ago and the phone froze - I couldn't answer the call, or do anything, all the while the phone just kept ringing. Had to pull the battery. I'm still on the stock ROM.
Me too! I had a call and it froze. Battery pull as well. Also, forgot to mention I am using open home launcher.

Yep it's a bug either in LG's function to turn on and off the screen in Android, or the kernel drivers that enable/disable the touchscreen. There is about a 1 second delay to it.
I discovered this lovely bug while porting the AOSP lockscreen mod.
I'll run some more tests to see whether it's an android bug or a kernel bug. I'm betting it's android (something like the screen being turned on before the touch controller has had time to reinitialize itself, or something more complicated like a race condition of some kind...)
Either way, with cm7 around the corner, I don't think it's that big of a bug

I think I have the weirdest problem with my Sensation XL.
It works fine and sometimes, when I unlock it, the touch screen goes into super frenzy mode and starts doing things on its own. When it's stuck in that mode, I cannot use it, and it clicks buttons around randomly and very fast.
I have seen it open my messages, swipe a long gibberish text and send it (!) or this morning it just opened contacts and deleted one!
I am pretty sure it's all in random because on the keyboard I can see it swiping very randomly around the screen and in a very fast speed.
What on earth is this and how do I stop it? It almost looks like a virus or some sort of spyware but I checked and see nothing malicious installed.
The phone is about 8 months old and is not rooted. Latest firmware installed.(4.0.3 Android version).
The crazy behaviour did not coincide with any updates in software. Just started 3 weeks ago randomly and happened maybe 5 times till now.
The only way to stop your phone going mad and doing something you don't want it to do is to quickly rip the battery off, because you are unable to restart it from the touch screen.
It only happens after you unlock it, not while you're using it and I noticed it happens after a long period of inactivity.
Has anyone had that? Any help is very appreciated!
Thank you

Lock the screen and open it again. If this doesn't stop it could be a Hardware problem
I also had some problems like this on the original firmware, but rarely, it got fixed when i flashed Incredibly Cool Sense v3. You should lock the screen not to rip the battery off, as it's faster and it should work

I don't think it's a hardware issue cause the phone works well most of the time. If it was hardware the problem would be permanent, not intermittent and especially so occasional.
Must be something software related, I did add a lot of games to the phone recently but the problem happens even when these processes aren't running in the background which is puzzling.
Locking and unlocking the screen postpones the problem, it doesn't solve it. As soon as the screen is unlocked, it immediately goes crazy again.
I can only solve it by pulling the battery out, and FAST, before it sends crazy messages to my contacts

Welcome to the club. I had that same issue. But after a hard reset everything is fine with mine.
I assume that there was an app causing all that. If after a hard reset still does that you should send it for repair
If you have a screen protector its can be a main reason for this. To stop this behavior you can use power button and wake up it again. Some htc devices have the problem with multi touch screen
Issues of production. Clear the screen products with some alcohol and see than.

I don't have a screen protector actually and the screen is usually clean.
Must be some app, I wonder there was some way to find out which without having to do a hard reset and lose everything

You can't! There is no way you can find out which one is causing that. Maybe it's some update from something that is causing the freezing.
Last night i did notice something else though. My battery was almost empty and i took my gf charger. She has S2 and after i charged my phone it has started to act strange......... Even today after i pluged the phone to install something from the PC it didn't even notice that i have connected it to the PC. Took me about 20 min in/out to get it running I clean the usb slot every week so it is not a dirt issue....
it happens with me when there's water on the screen

Be careful from contiouas pressure on screen it may drive it to behave strangely .
Try to use lock code before putting the phone into pocket
Sent from my HTC Runnymede using xda app-developers app
Definitely on to something.
It has happened a few times when it was drizzling and there were tiny droplets on the screen (not proper rain).
It started acting up when I was swiping the screen against the tiny droplets. After locking it, it would stop responding...
Most of the times I find it either non reponsive or acting weird after I take it out of my back pocket and try to unlock it.
Maybe being in my pocket, even locked, affects it somehow.
Is it easy to put another Rom? Do I lose all my apps?

sorry to bump an old thread.
I have this problem on a bashed up screen. however... I don't think it can be hardware because if I hard reset its then OK on the next boot...
we need to learn more about touchscreens - how are they calibrated? I think it is reset on boot and also on each lock
Its the LCD ribbon touching the metal housing, short circuiting the screen, easy fix with a piece of tape over the ribbon
Edit
Also, once the phone heats up resistance builds up with it causing the issue

It's your ear that switches the phone into Airplane mode. It's especially common for people who hold the phone with their left hand to their left ear. HTC have poorly calibrated the sensor and as such, have dropped the ball on the most important function of a smartphone and that's making phone calls. It happens to me everyday and it's infuriating.
No-one has come up with a fix. HTC should. It's a disgrace

Same exact problem for me I am sure it has only started happening to me since latest update. It's turned the best phone I have every had into one of the worst. I have just installed rezound app that allows you to calibrate the prox sensor. See how it goes tomorrow as this has been happening to me every day sever times a day from disconnecting calls to airplane mode to randomly redialing last calls
I just recently decided to root my phone shortly after changing providers from t-mobile to family mobile which is run through t-mobile but cheaper. I figured fresh start all around right?
Well I rooted it, put cm10-or-10.1 linaro on it (forgot which) did some v6 supercharging (had no idea what I was doing, probably shouldn't have bothered) and everything was fine except when I would receive or make a call the phone app would freeze up and at times I could hear the person calling inbound but they couldn't hear me. I could call them back okay though. I figured I'd try a different rom, it didn't help. Now when I make outbound calls the screen freezes in the transition from pressing call to the screen it displays during the call, then the screen shuts off which I assume is the proximity sensor kicking in and then I can either turn it back on and the screen displays correctly or the hardware key lights come on but the screen stays black. Upon hanging up it just sits on the during call screen with everything grayed out for about 10-20 seconds before it finally goes back to home.
So far I've been through: the stock rom, peach sunrise, cm10 linaro and cm10.1 linaro and none of them have been error free. Is this a hardware issue that can be addressed? I've searched around for a topic similar but with no real luck. This is the closest I could get http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1293442 and they seemed to come to the conclusion that it was an internal memory error.

I did a bit more searching using some different terms and people were having trouble with the proximity sensor on their phones causing similar problems so I turned mine off and the problem corrected itself! So now I guess I just have to deal without having a functioning proximity sensor during calls, oh well, not a biggie. I appreciate the help though guys.
As the title says it turns on without touching the phone, after calling sb. It never seems to turn on while receiving a call. I am 100% I didn't touch a thong as sometimes it happens while I have the phone in hand and I can clearly see that the loudspeaker is activated as soon as I place the call. I read it's a common problem. Anyone found any soulution? Do you have it too?
