Incoming call screen disappears - can't answer call!

Hi all,
Friend and I both have the Incredible S, loving it! He has a slight issue and I can't for the life of me solve it. Everything was working fine but now when he has an incoming call and the screen is off the incoming call screen flashes up briefly then disappears and device shows normal 'desktop' - you can't answer the call!
If you call his phone and the screen is active, incoming call screen pops up as expected and you can answer call.
Any ideas peeps?
Thanks

Hmmm,
I'm having the exact same problem. Running Fresh Evo on HTC Evo. Would love to know why this is happening. Any ideas?

Never worked it out, friend did factory reset in the end to fix it.

Bummer. Here's some info:
Latest Fresh EVO
Rom Manager
Rom Manager Janitor
Juice Defender Ultimate Juice
Titanium Backup Pro
Cachemate for Root
ShootMe
Adfree Android
adbwireless
Call Control (problem before this, though)
Launcher Pro
Any hints?

Having the same exact issue. This sucks... This started today for me around noon ( no calls before then), and has persisted throughout the day. Yesterday was fine.
I use Google voice for all of my calls.
The only thing I've done today that I haven't done every other day was that I installed the Gtalk app this morning. In the past, I've used Gmail directly. However, my computer was off during at least one of the phone calls I received today, so I can't imagine this could be it...
Perhaps because I installed gAlwaysIdle (an addition to Gtalk that makes you never go idle or always be idle) as well?
Does this correspond with anyone else's experience?
I'll probably just reflash my phone

hmm this sounds like a serious firmware problem tho..
all i could suggest is flash a firmware that the most of the ppl are using, and dont got probs with...

well doing a good reboot seems to help alot these days. So disable the fastboot option en turn it off, wait a while (10 secs should be enough) en start the device again.
Also had some of the trouble like crashing things and this solved it for me. Give it a try and hope it will fix it.
Otherwise there seems to be no other way than a factory reset (go htc!)

HELP. all incoming calls go to speakerphone in CM7

i'm not completely sure, but i remember seeing an option on CM7 somewhere that said incoming calls to speakerphone. i turned it on, then i updated to 7.02, now i can't find that option anywhere, but it's still turned on. and ALL my incoming calls turn the speakerphone on without any way to stop it.
i've spent hours going through all 120 apps in my phone and in every single setting trying to find something to turn it off. I've even used titanium backup to try and wipe the settings and CM settings with no luck.
I don't mind this being a toggle on/off like the carmode app, but i can't have it always on. I have to ignore important calls now just because it takes 10 seconds for the phone to actually let me turn off the speaker.
so please, if anyone can help me here. i'm about ready to wipe the phone but i seriously don't want to waste and entire day doing that so someone please help.

I font remember ever seeing this option in my cyan 7. Interesting.

Yeah I don't recall that settings.

maybe it wasn't and i'm just crazy, but i'm still having this issue, and i'm about to wipe my phone to fix it, so if anyone knows any other way i'd seriously appreciate it.

Maybe try to wipe Cyanogenmod Settings using Titanium Backup? If all else fails...instead of doing a full wipe...try the /system only wipe that tamasek has in the nightly forum somewhere...that way...your data and apps are still in tact...and can just flash a new nightly...then if it still doesn't work...I guess you already know what to do.

I can't believe it but this actually happened to me today. I hung up and had the caller call back and it went back to normal.

Did you ever get it fixed? I put the newest stable version on my EVO and I have the same issue all outgoing calls go right to speakerphone and all incoming go right to speakerphone..
Also I notice carmode starts up on it's own as well.. but turning it off incoming/outgoing calls will still right to the speakerphone

[Q] Phone kinda reboots with incoming call

I upgraded my Captivate to gingerbread/talon/continuum yesterday.
That went fine and everything was hunky dory.
Phone was working fine the whole day today, incoming/outgoing calls, data.
I came home and installed Skype and thats when all hell broke loose.
Now the phone part is dead (kinda!). I can make calls fine but if I get a incoming call, the call gets disconnected after 1 ring and I get a msg popup (like some error) but I cant really see what the message is.
I also noticed that it disconnects me from ATT network when a call comes in and then after a little bit it reconnects.
I also verified this by going to the About->Status screen and then making a call.
It normally says ATT but for a couple of secs after call drop it says 'Unknown'.
What did I do to screw it up and how can I fix it?
Thanks

Glaring obvious first question -- did you try uninstalling Skype to see if that resolved anything?

Sorry, I should have added that to my first post.
Yes, I did uninstall Skype and reboot the phone, just incase, but no difference.
Still the same.

Update:
After playing around with various things for a couple of hrs, I finally gave up and reflashed Continuum.
Everything started working again.
Applied my Ti backed up config and loaded Netflix. Same problem. Dialer died with an incoming call.
I reflashed Continuum again and everything started working as expected.
I then applied my Ti backup, still everything working.
I am in the process of updating all my apps and then lets see if everything is still working.
The only thing that is missing for now is the Netflix app.
I will keep everyone updated if its the Netflix app causing the issue or its the Skype.

activemind: Keep us posted if you find a cause. I am on a Samsung Vibrant (3g) via TMOB but have been having the same issue today with a completely different rom (simply honey). This is actually about the 6th thread I've found in the past two days having this same issue on Galaxy S phones.

I have had this problem before and what caused it was restoring system data with titanium. Make sure you are only restoring apps.

[Q] phone calls cause sluggishness, freezing, and crashing of phone app

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.

Yes rom and cache/dalvik. And if I forgot I went back and wiped and re-installed it.

There's nothing wrong with the link try redownloading the ROM something might of got corrupted.

I fixed it. Kind of
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.

Mic works only during phone calls

Hi,
Just having some issues with my note today. For some reason other side can hear me fine when making a normal voice call, but when using Skype, Viber or even trying to give a voice command to google it just won't listen.
The mic is working since voice calls are working just fine.
Does anyone have any idea what could be the problem?
I'm rooted with DK 4.1
Thanks!

I had a few issues with DK including mic issues. Like people couldnt hear me when I'm doing wifi calling and all those messaging programs also. Long time DK user since Note 3. I tried FireKat and now everything works, including Titanium (no stalling when recovering apps).

Thanks. I'll give this a try.

I'm on DK as well.
For me the issue creeps up after one phone call.
On clean boot it works fine and I can shoot videos or use Google Now etc. without issue. As soon as I initiate a call and the other side starts ringing I can hang up and never get mic functionality again for anything but phone calls.
From what I can tell it stems from a SuperSU binary change back in December. Why it only affects a few of us I don't know. I posted about it way back in December within the DK thread. How I attributed it to SuperSU is at the time I rolled back to an nandroid backup that worked and then applied one app update at a time until the issue creeped up again.
About a month ago I messed up and said yes to binary update on my phone . . haven't bothered rolling back to a backup though . .
Been planning on doing a full on wipe of the phone but decided to wait to see how things play out with LP based ROM updates.

Thanks for the details. I just moved to firekat and am really happy with the ROM

So I finally took the time to do a full wipe and install Dynamic Kat 4.1 clean and my microphone issue is resolved. Happy camper now.
