Issue with Dialer Looking for Help

Issue with Dialer Looking for Help - Moto X Q&A

My father in law has been using a Moto X for a few weeks now but seems to have an issue with hanging up calls puts it in his coat / pocket and a few seconds later it dials the last call back. I have a Nexus 5 and several Moto Gs and have not personally experienced this using the Google Dialer. Other than this he loves the phone and I would like to see him keep loving it so if anyone has some suggestions I'd appreciate it.

Is he leaving the screen on when he places it in his pocket?

I'm on my 9th Droid 3 replacement...

Thought I'd share my story with you all in hopes that some of you may have had similar problems I've had with the Droid 3, perhaps in an effort to give me hope that one day I'll receive one that isn't shot to hell in some way shape or form.
1.) Brand-new, upgraded from the Droid 2 around the first week of August. This one lasted about a month before the slider just gave out and became so loose that it would open up by itself if I held the phone horizontally. No case was used on it prior, so I'm not sure what caused this. Never dropped it either (I baby the hell out of my phones).
2.) Replacement came in, no big deal. Attempted to slide it open right out of the box. Guess what? Wouldn't budge. Literally jammed shut. Sent it back the same day.
3.) Boot-looping from hell and 3G drop all the time in places where I should have full reception (i.e., my house). 5.6.890 was not released at this time.
4.) - 7.) Every single one had a completely jacked up sliding mechanism that would either squeek, crack, scratch, jam, or completely tear apart the left plastic portion next to the keyboard within just 5-10 slides. Unacceptable. 1 or 2 of these (lost count) also loved to boot-loop for no apparent reason. Mind you, I tried every trick in the book. Tried never installing ANY apps, tried replacing the extended battery with the stock one, tried replacing the SD-card with a different one, and hard-resetted several times. To no avail.
8.) Replacement #8. 5.6.890 is released, no more boot-looping it seems, but this one has a vibrating mechanism from hell. Whenever it would vibrate, it would sound like electricity. Haptic feedback on it felt like voltage. Unacceptable.
9.) Just received replacement #9 today. This <MAY> be a stupid thing to complain about, but wherever I press on the phone, the damn thing squeeks like it's falling apart. Press the home button ever so slightly...*squeek.* Press the back button...*rattle*. Wipe the phone down with a cloth...*rattle rattle crackle crackle squeek squeek squeeeeeeeeek*. No matter how little pressure I use, it squeeks as if its falling apart. The sliding mechanism, however, feels solid and amazing on this one. Clicks and holds tight, but OH MY GOD IS SQUEEKS AND RATTLES SO MUCH. Never had/heard this problem on the other 8 replacements.
Someone shoot me =/
Also, none of these problems arose post-root nor did I root any of the ones I owned. I have rooted my brothers and I'm currently using his to text out new ROMs and such....but it's freaking annoying. I want my own to play with and flash.
Does anyone else have weird problems? I may be a little OCD when it comes to stuff like this, but I sure as hell didn't pay 230 dollars for a boot-looping/voltage vibrating/3g dropping/SQUEEKING phone.
...does anyone else's "squeek" or "rattle" when the press down on the bottom-right or top-right corners of the phone when it's closed?

I have 2 DROID 3 have not had any issues with them. Have had them for 12 weeks now still solid

Man, sounds like you got stuck getting all the bad batch phones = / I'm really rough on my phone, and I've had none of these problems. Hopefully you can get a good one, cuz this phone is quite fantastic once rooted and rom'd. The only complaint I've ever had was the weak stock battery life, but even that isn't that bad since I've modded it.

Yea that's what I'm thinking...I just got a really bad batch. I want to finally be able to keep just one and ROM it ASAP. Ughhhh

You've replaced it just as many times as well huh? That's crazy.

the same thing happened with my droid x they all sucked they acutely had to send me a brand new one still in the box ....to fix the issues i was having ... lets just say thank God Verizon not selling cars there 100 point inspection test dosent work very well .. every time i call vzw they insure me it was put to the test i say well some one must of been blind because there is a light shining throw the screen when i just put the battery in it lol

Well I'm on the 6th, satisfied with this one so far. Most of them had the vibrate problem you mentioned. Some had light bleeding out of the screen near the softkeys. One the screen would randomly get distorted, almost like the top half of the screen was twisted and flipped around. And yes I do hear some squeaking on this one it's the back cover for mine anyway, taking it on and off too many times I assume.

Yea I'm not too sure about this 100-point inspection they keep referring to. How the hell do they miss something like what you mentioned...or an insanely squeeky/loose screen? Or even a 100% jammed screen that won't slide up? 100-point my ass.
Also, just to clarify...I absolutely love the Droid 3; I just want one that isn't jacked up. Even if they offered me a brand-new Bionic or something, I'd refuse. I love the D3, I just want one that isn't insanely jacked.

Oh yea, I forgot to mention that I've had the light-bleeding around the softkeys as well (specifically the last one I got, number 8). It was only on the bottom-right portion. Very noticeable and very annoying.

its sad becuse the razr looks nice but seems how i have had so many issues with droid x to droid x2 to droid 3 i think i am all out of spending my money on them but there attenna design is by far the best .... oh i am so torn ... i just miss 2 years ago having my droid in my hands .. life was good back then ...

I'm on my second, no issues at all.. After a 3rd replacement I would have *****ed to the point where they were sending me a new phone not a refurbished.

I did, after the 6th. I got a supervisor and she was a real B-word. I tore her apart and she refused to send me a new one. Don't think they ever would, because I was on the phone with her for about 15 minutes and she refused.

believe me i have but they just changed there policy you can keep getting as many refurbish phones. it used to be after 5 they would try to get you into something else ... well lets see the offered me the charge and tunderbolt i exsplaned to them that the only comparable device to this dorid 3 is the bionic and they wont offer that .. i am not going to down grade a dul core with the crap of last year test market no thank you ...

Wow, you must have the luck of an Irish to receive this many defective phones consecutively.

Defect Looping?
My D3 has had no real problems other than what is common to a new phone (mostly software related) and occasional operator error. I cannot calculate the statistical probability against randomly receiving nine consecutive bad phones. Either someone has targeted you to receive all the junk ones or you live somewhere with frequent over-the-top EMPs (or maybe hell). With similar experiences with the other phones as well, you must be living under some kind of curse!

Lmao. Well, considering they are all pre-owned "like new" devices...there is the probability that they were returned for the same reasons I'm returning them.
I get yet another one in the mail tomorrow...

Create a sob story and they send you a different phone. Its how i went from the droid x to the droid 3 without having an upgrade :] keep complaingin on the phone and say you want a different more reliable device thats in the same range. Then say something about the bionic {or differen phone} and they will give up and give it to you for free. just have to pay for a battery

My wife and I have both had Droid 4s since release day and aren't experiencing the issue.

I have had my droid 4 since the day it was released with no such problems. The only I can think that would cause speaker problems is if:
a) dust and gunk are getting stuck in the speaker
b) the connector for the speakers is becoming loose... do you ever try and clean around the edges of the phone, like in between the bezel and the frame? If so, you might be damaging a connector when you do so...
Other than that, maybe its a factory issue, it is a very thin top piece that holds the speaker and the screen, etc.
Hope this helps...

I started having this problem about 3 weeks ago and I've had my D4 for about 2 months.
Guess I need to call in for a replacement...what a pain. I used my OG Droid for almost 2 years without the need for a replacement. Then I picked up the D3 and went through about 6 phones in 6 months with a move to the D4 hoping things would be better.

What's the suck trick? My wife's is one day old and ear speaker sounds blown
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA

suck trick
The suck trick is, if u suck on the speaker with your mouth it will temporarily fix the speaker.

Same issueI
I bought a Droid 4 two months ago and about within a month it started up with the same thing you are speaking of, a tinny, blown speaker sound coming from the ear piece. I did the whole sucking speaker deal and it would fix it , only to sound like junk again later. I returned it to Verizon, where they said that they had not heard of anyone else having the same problem, so Motorola sent me a "like new" Droid 4. I have had this phone for a month and just this morning it began with the blown speaker garbage again.
I looked more into it and read that it could be the glue which is holding the speaker in heats up and fails, causing the speaker to release from where it is seated and with that rattles, or vibrates, giving the effect of a blown speaker
This would make sense why by sucking into the speaker it stops, because you are basically popping it back into place temporarilly
Either way, I am returning this phone later today and plan on telling Verizon, I want a new one, not some "like new" refurbished piece of junk. I paid for a NEW phone, not one with problems motorola "fixed"
I hope all works out next, cause I really love the keyboard and could've gotten a Rzr for a few bucks more.

try running this app 2x times. once normally with the bol up and another time with the vol up during a call... fixed the sound for me

I believe this app is meant for the speaker on the phone, not the earpiece that people have problems with.

I just got a "like new" replacement phone for having the same problem. I had my phone for about five months before noticing a problem with the speaker. I had the same problem on four different DroidX phones. Verizon acted like it was such a big deal, and they'd never had any problems with the Droid4. The woman at the Verizon store tried to convince me that my Otter Box case was causing the problem. Verizon's customer service department is such a joke sometimes. So far so good with my replacement though.

if you make a call and run it it runs in the earpiece.
to clean it right
1wipe it off
2 clean it with a airduster if you got one
3 with a q tip and a little bit of alcohol
4 dry it than call you house and pick up the phone
5 than run the app incall 3x times
it should be good than
also in /settings/sound/speaker settings set it to custom turn off surround sound and turn the eq to bass punch or lower.

So my moto x's microphone just broke?

Yeah she was fine for a week.... then after work Sunday it just failed.
No touch less controls, no google now
People can't hear me in calls unless I scream and even then they just great noise
:/
And now I must go a week or two without a phone?
Ugh...
I may go and just buy a nexus 5 just to not wait... But I've really loved my Dev edition.
Any one had this problem?

Yeah I'm just returning mine, I don't have 7 days to go missing work calls :/ , in the mean time I'm going to buy a refurb Nexus 4.
Freaking pathetic that the mic breaks after a week.

They'll overnight a brand new phone to you. Just saying...

Does the phone fill with the water？ Perhaps it's the problem.
Once my phone was taked in water, and I used hair-dryer to make it dry. then it works well now.

I've been through 3 of them and i'm getting my replacement today. I know this sounds silly but ,but diid any of you happen to have just put on a screen protector? I ask because to forums ive seen recognize this as the problem. defective screens.

I had the same problem, but I had my X since November and all of the sudden it went bad. People couldn't hear me on calls, no Google now either it was just dead.
Went to Verizon store they checked the phone and decided to send me a replacement.
I got my replacement 3 days later and guess what FREAKING same problem with the replacement phone, it came with a broken Mic. Went back to Verizon and now they are sending another replacement. I don't know what's the deal with the microphones. For me it seems that the opening it might be too exposed to dust and with time this gets into the mic. I might get my replacement today.

Screen tearing issue inevitable?

I am currently wearing my 4th OG Pebble.
4th.
I have had the screen tearing issue come up on every one, and every one was faithfully replaced by Pebble, which is nice. My first three I wore in the shower and in the pool, per the various ads I saw where people showered and swam with it, and my wife was like dude, quit wearing it in the water. So my latest warranty replacement has never been wet. The last two days, I've had the screen thing again.
Again.
I can't afford a Pebble Time at the moment, or I would go that direction in the hopes that they figured it out.
I know that there is a solution involving taking the watch apart and placing a small plastic shim inside; has anyone done this successfully, did it work, how difficult is it REALLY, and what kind/size shim did you use?
Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk

OMG! I hate this problem. Happens on mine all the time. I had a friend tell me it doesn't happen if you use the stock watchfaces. I've notice it actually does happen more on certain watchfaces for some reason. I've never tried the repair trick. Switching watchfaces HAS helped a bit though. Which makes me think, is it really a software issue?

I don't know about inevitable, but given that the reason is a hardware connector, that's probably likely. Water has nothing to do with it at all. All four of the Pebbles we own with the old style connector have been wet numerous times with no harm.
I can't speak for everyone's use but my wife and I have 1 OG Pebble and 3 Pebble Steels between us.
I only use the OG Pebble for working out and I turn it off between workouts. It has never had a screen tearing issue. It's the screwback later model of the OG.
My wife's Brushed Silver Pebble Steel, which was pre-ordered on announcement day, has never had a screen tearing issue.
My original Matte Black Pebble Steel, ordered on announcement day as well, did have the screen tearing issue and Pebble quickly RMA'd it and told me to keep it as well as the new one. The warranty replacement (I was actually a couple of months out of warranty) has never had the screen tearing issue.
Since it was already broken/spare I did attempt the business card shim fix on my original Matte Black and it has worked beautifully. Since my brother wanted to see if he would use a smartwatch, I lent the repaired one to him to wear during his paramedic clinicals and he hasn't seen any screen tearing at all while exposing it to God knows what. It was an extremely easy fix. I followed this youtube tutorial https://youtu.be/c-3pfh-bx_w and it was spot on.
If you have the screwback version of the OG Pebble then the fix is pretty straightforward. If you have the glued together version then you're probably better off buying another one if you want to keep using Pebble.
If any of our other three watches did start having screen tearing I feel 100% confident the shim fix would correct the issue entirely.

Worked like a charm! Thanks,

Glad that worked for you. Pebble has always been great at RMAing my messed up Pebbles. I too had the 4th one start to go so I emailed them. They said they'd replace it but I inquired about testing a beta with new hardware or seeing if there was something else they could do. I also asked for a phone number to speak to someone about it. They replied that they do not have a phone system and there are no betas of the OG Pebble but did offer me a Pebble Time. I took their offer even though I liked the OG Pebble firmware. Its worth a try if you are still having troubles down the road. Good luck.

I'll just re-iterate that they took back my used Pebble Steel (RMA) and sent me brand new one and it hasn't torn yet. So, great support and us early folk have that tearing a possibility at any time
Side note-I can't get it to pair with my vs985 any more (kinda makes it useless). It's likely something with the new CM13-based ROM AND my phone (same Rom - OctM pairs fine with my Nexus 7). I'm now seeing the LE radio and the standard from the Pebble and CM13 doesn't like to pair with the regular. I'm going to do some searching today to see if there's a fix.

Pebbles!
FWIW, my Kickstarter Edition Pebble is still holding up just fine after daily use for close to two years now (I got it used). That said, a Pebble Steel I was recently working on from 2015 did have the issue. Seems like they got it right at first and then forgot how.

Cyanogenmod Roms used to have issues with being finicky when it comes to Bluetooth, so that kind of behavior wouldn't necessarily surprise me.

I didn't think it was the Pebble. Thanks for noting it for others!

OP3 Major Failure

I will start by being blunt. I HATE this phone.
I have had two OPO's. I bought one when it came out, liked it so much that I bought another for my wife. Sure, it had its quirks, but overall a great phone! I skipped the OP2 as I felt it was an incremental step from the OPO. By the time 3 came out, 1 felt sufficiently dated and was in the market anyway; so I jumped on it. I've had it for one month now, and I can't stand it. The phone is completely stock, haven't even rooted it yet.
The POSITIVES:
LOVE DASH charging! Charges wicked fast.
Battery life is more than sufficient
Camera is significantly improved since OPO. Definitely "good enough" now.
Now the bad:
Feel without a case is AWFUL. I dropped it 5 days after owning it. I don't usually drop phones. I knew by the feel of it that I wasn't comfortable with it on day 2 and promptly ordered a case and tempered glass cover. I dropped it a day or two before it arrived. My own fault, yes, but the phone does not hold well.
No bezel around the screen. I'm by no means overweight, but the skin on my hand where my thumb connects to my hand registers as a touch more often than not. ANNOYING. The case resolved both of the above problems. The phone is at least usable after putting it on.
Calls... I had to get a new Nano SIM as the OPO is a micro. Put it in, and have had nothing but problems. I only receive an estimated 33% of the calls made to me. Outgoing calls take a LONG time to initiate (upwards of 30 secs). Also, sometimes, I cannot use the phone like normal... the person can only hear me if I'm on speaker phone with the SCREEN ON!!!! If the screen times out and turns off, they can't hear me. I am on TMO, and spent hours on the phone with support with multiple different people and they swear it is not on their end. I cannot test the Nano SIM in another phone (none of my others accept it).
Random calls. It randomly calls people sometimes. This seems to have subsided recently, maybe one of the updates?
It recently decided to start randomly rebooting. This was what put me over the edge. I was using navigation out of town heading to the airport, and it decides it wants to reboot. Well, I missed my exit and nearly missed my flight. It has since rebooted itself at least daily. Seems to be mostly when the screen is left on, as it rebooted during a phone call (on speaker with screen on).
Priority / Silent mode: Seems after a recent update, it decides to go on silent for no reason. I have to slide the switch up then back to normal to get it off.
SMS: Occasionally it doesn't register that an SMS was sent and continues to try sending; and the recipient receives sometimes DOZENS of the same message.
This is all I can think of at the moment, but I think there is something else. I cannot say it enough... I HATE this phone. Hello Nexus, here i come.

I thought it felt great without a case.. As for the touchscreen thing, it's happened to me, but only when using it above my face while in bed. The priority thing has been fixed in the last update.
As for the rest, that sounds like a bad board. I can promise you that for the rest of those, people who have a non-faulty board don't experience.

If the screen times out and turns off, they can't hear me. I am on TMO, and spent hours on the phone with support with multiple different people and they swear it is not on their end. I cannot test the Nano SIM in another phone (none of my others accept it).
Random calls. It randomly calls people sometimes. This seems to have subsided recently, maybe one of the updates?
It recently decided to start randomly rebooting. This was what put me over the edge. I was using navigation out of town heading to the airport, and it decides it wants to reboot. Well, I missed my exit and nearly missed my flight. It has since rebooted itself at least daily. Seems to be mostly when the screen is left on, as it rebooted during a phone call (on speaker with screen on).
Priority / Silent mode: Seems after a recent update, it decides to go on silent for no reason. I have to slide the switch up then back to normal to get it off.
SMS: Occasionally it doesn't register that an SMS was sent and continues to try sending; and the recipient receives sometimes DOZENS of the same message.
This is all I can think of at the moment, but I think there is something else. I cannot say it enough... I HATE this phone. Hello Nexus, here i come.

Send it back and request another one. None of the above applies to mine, i can assure you.

Same for me. I've had a camera issue and that silent issue but both are fixed now with update and my personal hardware fix. I think it could be a bit subjective overall. I do have the 6p too and you may indeed like that better as bezels are bigger and phone is just bigger/bulkier. I've never had any if the random call issues.

Completely with you on this. I've had 2 different op3 devices so far and each has been a nightmare. Between the random dropped calls with a full Signal, weak Wi-Fi, and reboots...I'm all set.

yeah i agree, as far as the sim, that is normal between flagship phones, u r looking a 3rd generation of coarse its going to change so they can decrease in size, as far as the calling u may want to do return b/c that has never happened to me, either that try CM13 rom and see if it does it if so change it out if not then u would just need to do a factory reset.

Yes, forgot dropped calls, and bad wifi! What is your course of action? Probably can't get a refund due to cracked screen... ebay as-is?

I will start by being blunt. I HATE this phone.
I have had two OPO's. I bought one when it came out, liked it so much that I bought another for my wife. Sure, it had its quirks, but overall a great phone! I skipped the OP2 as I felt it was an incremental step from the OPO. By the time 3 came out, 1 felt sufficiently dated and was in the market anyway; so I jumped on it. I've had it for one month now, and I can't stand it. The phone is completely stock, haven't even rooted it yet.
The POSITIVES:
LOVE DASH charging! Charges wicked fast.
Battery life is more than sufficient
Camera is significantly improved since OPO. Definitely "good enough" now.
Now the bad:
Feel without a case is AWFUL. I dropped it 5 days after owning it. I don't usually drop phones. I knew by the feel of it that I wasn't comfortable with it on day 2 and promptly ordered a case and tempered glass cover. I dropped it a day or two before it arrived. My own fault, yes, but the phone does not hold well.
No bezel around the screen. I'm by no means overweight, but the skin on my hand where my thumb connects to my hand registers as a touch more often than not. ANNOYING. The case resolved both of the above problems. The phone is at least usable after putting it on.

Nope other than the "feel" without the case. I agree that it's slippery AF. But that's how these aluminum phones are. See HTC 10, iPhone 6/6S
No call issues. SMS is fine for me. Perhaps a carrier issue. I'm in Canada on TELUS on LTE.

I got a SIM adapter and put the NanoSIM into my OPO, and it works fine. Definitely phone issue. Waiting to see if OP will do anything.

Well, they should do something... You got bad luck with the phone but me on the other hand, only have good thing to say about this phone. Great wifi (better than any of my previous phone, no call drops, any issue with sms, used a case since day 1 but agree that it's better put one or it will be slipping. Slider issue was fixed, in one month i have 1 reboot, great reception,but yes, it's not perfect. Try to have a new unit. Will work better for sure.

Coming from a Nexus 5, and have my op3 from 2 weeks now, and i love it. Had The slider bug, but with latest oxygen it has been fixed. Audio is good enough, camera is too. Now i am on latest freedom os and latest elemental x kernel. I am overclocked to 2.2ghz too, but despite that, with The right settings and greenify+xposed combo, battery life is still great. Dash charging works great with elementalx. I advise you to completetly wipe your device, unlock its bootloader and install latest oxygen os full zip file through recovery. If your problems still perxist send your device back, it may be a faulty one...
PS: actually The only "issue" this phone has is the auto brightness one. Its slow and unprecise. So i disabled auto brightness and its ok. You can use an app called Lux, with its auto mode is all ok, so its just a software bug and OP will fix it with future updates i guess.

I feel your pain dude. So I am pretty sure 75% of the devices problems are hardware quality control issues. The first OP3 I received I ordered on US release day. It was buggy as hell, random reboots, laggy, bad call quality, phone got super hot, dropped calls, took a long time to make calls just like you mentioned. I tried to warranty return it and they wanted me to sit through 2 tech support calls, flash stock firmware blah blah their tech support missed one of our scheduled calls it was a mess, I got pissed and cancelled the support ticket and did a refund RMA.
About a week after they credited my account for the purchase price I was reading the forums and couldn't get over how much love this phone was getting. Everyone was gushing over it. So I ordered another one. I am really glad I did. The second phone I got has been flawless. Sounds great, call quality is good, I receive every phone call. zero random reboots, runs really cool, zero overheating.
That won't fix some of your complaints...like zero bezel etc...but I put the sandstone case on it on day one and the only time it comes off is when I am moving the SIM card to another device. Sorry you're having such a bad experience but I think it is just poor quality control at the assembly line. Maybe they are sourcing parts from multiple places so there is a lot of variation in the quality...no idea just glad I got a good one the 2nd time around.

its funny how experience differs from person to person. i had a nexus 6p which had this http://www.androidpolice.com/2015/1...o-noise-cancellation-google-is-investigating/ microphone problem where no one could hear me if i didnt keep the mic right (almost) in my mouth. i got so frustrated with it that i threw and broke the phone in a fit of rage. i bought a op3 and i am quite satisfied though i hate the alert slider implementation, i use tasker to make the alert slider function as all/vibrate/silent.

Thanks for the hope. I am teetering on the fence of whether to go to the 6p, or stick with OP3 (even tougher decision with the recent price drop of the 6p). I'm going to wait and see what support does, since I'm past the 15 day window (and cracked the screen). I'm hoping for a compromise; maybe I can pay the cost to fix a screen, but they send me an entirely new unit.

Given the timing, unless you are in dire need of a new phone today, and if you're not going to try another OP3, I would say hold off a couple months. We are close to the HTC Nexus launch. Also, if you retry OP3, the soft gold version was just released, I really liked my gold S6, kind of wish OP had made gold an option on launch day.

Great. We don't more Noobs here.
