Recently my Blu Vivo XL has been answering calls on its own. This issue happens ONLY when the caller is in my contacts and when the phone is in sleep. I have searched through the settings of this phone. I have have not found where this setting has been enabled and I do not recall enabling this. If there is a way to disable this please let me know.
There's a app on the Play Store called MTK Engineer mode where you can toggle Auto Answer in the first page.

Thank you I already have this but it's in an app called LTE Discovery (LTE Engineer) I was snooping around the settings and I think I pushed it.
BTW: I only use it to set it to LTE only because my phone always switches to the slow network.
Thanks, What a relief now I don't have my phone auto answering scam calls and getting charged
Thank You,

Hi guys I have done some searching but havent been able to find anything so I apologize if this is out there already. I also apologize if this is in the wrong area.
I got a different phone and I want to use my Hero for music, videos etc. I am looking for a ROM that would allow me to disable the baseband radio so I can conserve battery life as I no longer need to make calls. Any suggestions?
Thanks
The best you'll get is either using TB to freeze the phone app, or put in airplane mode.
BANG! from my shooter...
If you download any Cm6,Cm7 or aosp rom could do this. Open up the phone dialer and dial
*#*#4636#*#*
A menu will open up. From that menu choose phone settings. Then scroll down to the bottom of the menu and you will see "Turn off radio".
Hope this helps.

I did this and it worked fine. My question is, I am going to Europe tomorrow and I only want to use my phone for wifi. Its on Sprint so i don't think I will get service in London anyways. Will this do the trick for me?
actually thatll work on alll roms

You can enable airplane mode and use wifi as well.

I am in London. It's raining like hell and humid, don't be too envious. I have the radio turned off on the phone and only wifi enabled. My Sprint phone number has been integrated and is now my Google Voice number, so all my texts/voicemails go to GV app. My question is, if I send and receive texts via wifi on GV app, will sprint still charge me for international text messages? The radio and mobile data are definitely off. Thanks.
I have a very stripped down ROM that I might get around to posting tomorrow. Might put the phone apk back in, but have radio off by default.
If you have the radiooptions binary, you can disable the radio using it. It should be in /system/bin/radiooptions

I don't think so being your on wifi and all things connected to sprint are shut down. But if you want to be safe just read upon Google voice and pricing for text and call's internationally. Also give sprint a call to be on the safe side. I can't answer that for a100% but I'm like 99.9% sure if the radio is off you should be good. By the way if you don't mind if you see anything worth a snap shot take a few. And if you also don't mind sharing them in a pm that would be pretty smooth. I wouldn't mind having a few pics of london. Thanks and I hope you enjoy the trip.

Can receive and send texts for free using GV!
16:35:54 : Daisy Y: At this time Google Voice text messaging doesn't support sending and receiving text messages from international numbers, with the exception of Canadian numbers. You can only send and receive text messages to phone numbers in the U.S and Canada.
16:38:00 : nayeem01: ok
16:38:05 : nayeem01: i have a further question
16:38:13 : Daisy Y: Sure.
16:38:56 : nayeem01: i know i can only send texts to US and Canada phone numbers. but I am in Europe at the current time. my phone is off. but i am using google voice on my computer to send text messages. is there a charge for that?
16:39:14 : nayeem01: my google voice number and sprint number are merged.
16:41:04 : Daisy Y: Yes, you will be charged for text @ $0.20 for the text.
16:41:38 : nayeem01: Why is that I am not even using my sprint phone? I am texting from my computer.
16:43:14 : Daisy Y: Let me confirm again.
16:43:19 : Daisy Y: Please give me a moment.
16:45:33 : nayeem01: Ok. My phone is OFF and does not even get service in London so its physically impossible for me to send/receive messages here. But, I can use the Google Voice site to send/receive messages to my normal Sprint number because they are merged. Just want to confirm there's no charge when I am texting from Google's Voice website even though its my Sprint Phone number.
16:46:59 : Daisy Y: Nayeem, you are correct. You will not be charge for the send text via Internet through your computer.
16:47:40 : nayeem01: even though it is using my sprint phone number?
16:47:49 : Daisy Y: Yes.
16:48:16 : nayeem01: Ok. Can you please notate this on my account so if I have any charges next month, I can tell them to read the notes.
16:48:39 : Daisy Y: Yes, I have put the note on your account.

If you have.a Sense Rom? I believe you can press *#*#4636#*#* through your phones Dialer. From there you'll be brought to a Menu where you could choose Phone Info
and Try to Turn Off the phones Radio! Try that....
Good Luck!
now, what about going as far as actually removing phone functionality from the rom altogether? what apks and files need to be removed?
Anyone made a ROM without radio?
Getting my new phone tomorrow, and want to make my phone completetly without radio, to use as a mediaplayer for use in my car.

There is no ROM without radio. Radio is not a part of the ROM, but a part of the software below that level. I could make a completely stripped down ROM that only has what you want in it if you want. You just have to disable your radio yourself.

Yes, if you disable radio all calls and data (not wifi) won't work as it's not connected to any cell towers.
Awsome thanks i let my grand daughter play with it and dont want any suprises.
Hi guys,
Unfortunately, the area i live in has incredibly bad signal for all networks and back with my HTC sensation i used to have a orange signal boost app which enabled me to use something called UNA to make and receive calls through my home WiFi.
Since moving to my lovely new One, I dont have this option. I havent even bothered to get on the phone to Orange as they prove to be useless every time.
After doing a bit of research and playing with my phone, I found out about the Internet Calls within settings but it needs account settings.
Like with the 3g settings, are there some generic orange settings someone would be able to tell me that will enable me to use this feature?
Any help would be greatly received!
Thanks,

The Internet Call feature is for those with accounts with the likes of sipgate. You can make free calls to other SIP numbers but will need to buy credit when dialing normal numbers.

Bugger! Thanks for the reply.
Doesnt look like its happening then!
Do you happen to know if the tmobile wifi calling apk is anywhere available. I've had a search and cant seem to find it. I ask as that seems to be available on the one and TMobile kinda the same as Orange as both owned by EE and I just thought id try a punt at the app also working on orange.

Is this what your referring to?
A quick Google search threw up lots of possible links.

Yeah that's the one, but sorry, i should have been a bit more specific, I meant the apk off a one as it seems to be shipped with the one tmobile branded versions so I figured I would have the best chance with that version.
I'm bumping this thread to see if there are any solutions for this a few months on. I also live in a poor area for reception with Orange / EE, but I do have a decent net connection and WiFi. To make matters worse, I get an equally poor signal at work and constantly have to move my phone around to pick up texts.
The EE website has the following information for those unfamiliar, but the feature isn't currently supported in any ROMs I have tried:
http://help.ee.co.uk/system/selfser...RTICLE&ARTICLE_ID=1187596&CUSTOM_BRAND=Orange
Despite this sounding like a fantastic feature, I can barely find any information on the forums or through Google.
After updating to lollipop 270 people tell me that they have hard time understanding what I say in voice calls. The microphone test is OK but I still have problems. I tried to turn off the noise suppression but no effect. Anyone else with this problem?
I too have had this problem, although I am not sure if what I have done is a solution, but so far its working fine. Anyway what I have found is that if I go into Settings>More>Mobile Networks>Network Operators for some reason I had been lowered to a 2G network instead of 3G or 4G. This worked for me so far however as I said I am not sure if it is a solution.

It is not that for me because I have full signal strength and I did a test on 2 and 3g and the problem persist.
I alsi have the same problem, almost every one tells me that they hear me stuttering on phone...... Please some 1 help us fix that issue btw this only happened after I got lollipop..

Same here bro. In initial lollipop build the call quality was OK but now I barely can talk. Hope that Sony will fix it in next update
Same for me. People telling me that they cannot udnerstand me when calling.
I tried once to switch from 4G to 3G and then the person I called understood me. I will have to verify if this is maybe a work-around.
I did the Microphone check and it seems to work. I assume it is not a microphone issue. It seems to be some kind of (gsm) voice call transfering thing...
Anyway.. I enver had this problem before (on KitKat)...
Edit:
I just checked the Sony support forum.
There is a work-around for this that says disabling noice cancellation and other sound enhancements as well as setting the equalizer to normal can fix the problem.
Also Switching back to WCDMA only helped some people...

+1 . Setting it on wcdma resolves the problem but that is a temp fix because not in all places i have that covere. Hope Sony will fix it in next update.

So I just got this device from my job and while on a call I needed to look something up in browser and some other app and it told me I cant do that while on a call. In this day and age verizon still doesnt support voice and data at the same time? Or am I suppose to move some setting?

Nope and when i tried it said my line belongs to a business account and to go through my administrators. I dont really want to make a big deal about it, but i figured it was an automatic thing for 4g LTE.

I can't get advanced calling to work.

He said it was a setting on their side. I could hear him literally going line by line on everything and then finally he said shut it off and restart it and then the options opened up. He said it was something in their coding and settings that needed to be fixed. If it helps at all the guys name was Justin and he was a second level tech. He seemed pretty knowledgeable. Haven't called anyone with video but voice over Wi-Fi works (same with texting over wifi).
