The S2A dialer used by most chefs in WM6.5 ROMs has a major problem. If the phone is in standby, and a call is received, the phone cannot be answered, either with the slider or with the hardware button. I have experienced this with both Shep's ROMs and EnergyROM 3.0 with 100% consistency, and have had to call people back almost every time I receive a call.
I've seen several posts here and elsewhere about others experiencing this as well. In fact, in relation to the posts here... for some reason, the moderators determine that the problem is not "ROM-related" and that the threads should be frozen or deleted, or moved to specific ROM threads. I don't think that this is the best way to handle this, especially considering that nearly all chefs are using this dialer and none seem to mention this common issue in their release notes. This is not ROM-specific! It is a problem with the S2A dialer used by nearly all chefs alongside WM6.5.
Currently the only workaround I can find is to hit the power button twice before attempting to answer the call (since the call itself doesn't seem to completely wake the phone up), or to skip S2A altogether and use the Windows dialer.
Yes, i noticed this too, only for my phone it seems to take a bit more time to wake up (so it is possible to answer). I'd use the MS dialer, only I hate the look of it when phone is on and i receive a call... It only shows a notification or something... Maybe somebody can find a registry tweak or something.
I have tried Shep's rom and currently using NRG's rom. I have not had this issues with either. I have not seen others have this problem posted in their respective thread, which is probably why this is not something they would post as known problem. The only well known issue that happens regularly is the notification showing up along side S2A, but that interfere with the ability to pick up phone calls. If you believe it is a rom issue, try posting it in the respective thread.
Just a reminder, ALWAYS perform a hard reset after you install a new rom, that very often corrects a non regular occurring issue.
AndyJ91, Currently there is no fix because HTC S2A was made for 6.1 and not 6.5, which is why until HTC makes a fix or release a new version for 6.5, there is really nothing much the chefs can do.
Not sure I understand the issue. I am using Energy 60109. I can answer calls when the phone has been idle for hours. Perhaps you should define "Standby". By that do you mean that you briefly press the power button to turn the display off? Or is there more to "Standby"?
If that is the case, it works fine for me every time. Maybe you have some other program that is causing problems. Try a hard reset and test it before you make any customizations or load any software. Sort of a "factory fresh" test.

i didn't notice this problem either when i was running NRG 3....noticed other problems so i switched back to 2, but the S2A was working fine. YOu could always lengthen the ring time on your calls so you don't miss them..
I also experience the same problem . . . The phone rings . . . I slide to answer . . . I say, "hello . . . hello . . . anyone there? . . . hello . . ." for the next 15 seconds. Occassionally, I'll actually connect to whoever has called. Most of the time they are sent to voicemail and I have to redial them.
I'm at the point where I want to chuck my phone down a sewer because of S2A. Is there a way to disable it? I'm using EnergyROM 3.0, 6/01/09 version.

You can always disable the dialer and use the MS dialer, but the keys are so tiny it is difficult to use ...unless you put your finger in the pencil sharpener.
A less painful solution may be to simply install another dialer on top of the current one. Search for the Diamond Dialer of the original ATT dialer and try one of those.
If you can't find it, send me a PM with your email and I'll send it to you tomorrow when I get back to the office.
Doug M.
This issue has been discussed at length in other threads.
The default HTC dialer is incompatible with the wm6.5 lock screen, leading to issues including the send and end keys being unresponsive.
To disable the HTC dialer use Advanced Config, first option under phone section. This will restore the ms dialer which works just fine.
If you dont like the stock dialer some people have had success with 3rd party ones, but bear in mind that these have not been designed for 6.5 either, so you may see other issues.
I had this same problem on 6.1 with NATF and Arrup's ROMs.
Have you tried . . .
. . . THIS dialer?
Its from the Tachi, which came with a 6.5 ROM. I honestly don't know how well it works from Standby, but it couldn't hurt to try, I'm sure.

The tachi dialer works well while in standby, somehow it unlocks the phone first..then you use the S2A. Give a try. I use EnergyROM as well.

I'm on a 5060 build using the Kitchen. I have HTC Home, S2U2, and anything else that was defaulted in the settings from the basekit.
I had the same problem on DCD 3.0.1 and nue 5054 and 5059. I was told it was advanced config, so I reflashed 5059 without AC, then 5060 without it. The device worked great yesterday, but this morning I couldn't answer the phone again.
I had found something that added a change soft key setting to the systems tab, I installed that and changed the setting to messaging instead of calendar, and that's when the issue returned, so I figured it was something to do with the that. I did a hard reset but the issue still remains. My next resort is a re-flash, but I really don't want to go through all that if I can avoid it.

What do you mean you cannot answer your phone?
The calls don't go through, you cannot use the send key, what's up?
I press the answer softkey or the hardware key, and it doesn't work most of the time. It will mute the ringer, but will not answer the call.
This has been discussed elsewhere in this forum and on brand X. I also had a problem with the phone not answering. If you believe what they say....and I've tried it and it seems to be working for me now......reload a ROM without Advanced Config. This seems to be the common thread to the problem....Now my calls answer almost immediately. Try it...see if it solves the problem
I did that. My 5060 build didn't have AC in it at all.
Do you have SPB Pocket Plus installed? I had the same problems, but it hasn't returned since I uninstalled PocketPlus...
Nope. No SPB. Only default 5060 basekit and HTC home/S2U2.
I've actually gone ahead and re-flashed back to Sprint 3.35, which sucks because I really really liked the 6.1 threaded SMS, but a phone that I can't answer doesn't really do me any good.
I'll just have to wait for an official 6.1 I guess.

the new PocketCM comes with threaded text..
A little update.
The GPRS_bye_if_device_off registry hack is what was causing me not to be able to answer my phone. It was supposed to improve battery life.
I had ran no2chem 5060 for a few weeks without it happening, then went to DCD 3.0.4 and it didn't happen until last night, I tried that hack. Sure enough, after the reboot, that hack is what did it. I was doing this hack just to test that theory so had a back up. I restored it and now the phone works properly again.
hello
I have strange problem with ALL of WM 6 & WM 6.1 that i tested here. (+10)
My Device is i-mate Jamin G4.
the problem with Sound. the sound suddenly stop and dissapeare. after reading from and search i found only 1 solution for that, I should go to Settings>Sound&Notification>Notifications and play a ringtone to get the sound back. In the case sound disappear whole system sound gone and even when somebody calls or SMS there is no sound. the above solution works in 95% of roms and if it dosent bring back the sound soft reset is needed and everything ok then.
another hint is that when press green call button and keypad appears if i press buttons for around 1 minutes whole sound system went and i should use the solution . i said that because i though it might help.
this problem with wm6 & 6.1 just forced me to use official wm5 which doesn't have this problem. this problem is not only mine as i have found on forums many have this problem.
Thanks for your attention!

2. did you try a hard reset?
3. optional flash with the lazy tool,
4.
yes, I did all steps except 3. Ill upgrade with that and inform you the results.
BTW please press around 50+ time on keypad to here keypad tones. they suddenly stop! my device is G4. I know that G3 sre better than G4 in wm6&6.1

I've had a similar issue recently: Korand's WWE3.1 (WM6.1), been running faultlessly for 3 months or so, on a Prophet G4.
Without having changed any configuration, or any new programs, I lost "most" sounds. No ringtones, though I could hear the other person on a call, via either of the 2 loudspeakers. I tried to play an mp3, and I got an error message from Pocket Tunes/WMP (could not play...) - and no alarm calls
I went to Notifications, but could not play any files. I got sound back by doing a soft reset and/or running pocketmax's wake up tweaks (run clock/calendar cleanups - I doubt these had anything to do with it...)
And then normal service was resumed, phew. I missed one more alarm call, and since then, all has been OK.

Thanks for sharing...
i'm having the same problems sometimes. it happens mainly after changing the volume via the up/down switch from off to vibrate or back to certain volume.
the solution is the same as in the first post is mentioned. go to sounds & notifications and there to incoming textmessage. play the ringtone. sometimes a second time doing that is necessary.
but as im testing many roms as well, it happens very often on wm6.1, not so often in wm6.
before i forget to mention, i own a G4 Xda Neo.
//edit: another problem i had once was after using Shadow Vista "My Edition"(wm6.1) from with the ring volume-tweak. during call i rised the volume a little bit and then suddenly my speaker stopped working. even a softreset hadnt solved that problem, then i switched often the volume and after MANY attemps i managed somehow to get it working again. i was kinda shocked
greets
guro
PS: somebody has also the problem when recieving messages and press a key to early that the orange flashled doesn't went off?
well, it looks as if there is not clear solution for this issue. well i think i should go back to WM4 and forget about all other wm6 speed and goodies.

Try a different WM6.1 ROM!
i tried lots of stuff to solve this issue...no luck at all, after flushing the stupid Thai rom, i lost the sound....still trying
well, I tried almost 90% of roms here. all wm 6.1 are having this bug . I found PDAviet 4.0.0.0.6 a bit better than other, the sound bug happens less in this rom how ever it is still there.
oh! i found this here!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=371926
it looks as if this problem is with all roms, I think there must be a way to fix it on this biggest forum. still searching and reading an trying roms!!
hey guys,
since I moved to wm6 I was getting this bug, specialy with the sms notification.
but there was one rom which I did'nt have this problem if I kept the default rigntones. it was "Prophet_S4V.19701.01_F".
i'm flashing Prophet_S4V.19213.01_C, hoping it is that good too. altough I had the micro based on the s4v.19213 and and it was driving me crazy with this bug, I couldn't make it ring...
looking forward to help.

well i only found a temporarily solution for this problem. i disabled the keypad tones and the problem occurs each 1-2 days once but the problem is that it is still big chance of missing important Calls and SMS I hope developers found a solution for this BIG wm6 & 6.1 issue.

not 100% of prophet does the same way~~~
1. did you really manually hardreset the prophet every new rom flash?
2. any software installed will affect the performance of it?
3. will it happens same when newly rom flash?

yes, i do hard reset by pressing comm + cam + soft > send button . each rom i try i first open key pad and press 30+ on it and i sadly see sound dissapear! it looks as if prophet is not compatible with wm6!
I am now back to the wm5 and eagerly waiting to see a solution or patch from the great developers here!
well. no fix yet pals?
i had some problem too and what I had to do is...
When ever I hold the pda, I will press the volume up button even in lock mode and if there's no any sound, that mean the sound already disappeared, I had to soft reset... I had this problem at least once in 2 days....
Hope there'll be a fix for this issue sooner...
I recently upgraded to Erofich's excellent Windows Mobile 6.1 Standard ROM v9b and it is working absolutely brilliantly with only a single, but sadly agonizingly painful, flaw:
The external screen won't reliably show the caller's name and picture from the phone book. Instead it shows the caller's number and the "caller unkown" picture.
It never works on the first attempt after the phone has been turned on but when the person calls back a second time name and picture are usually displayed perfectly fine for this caller - until the next reboot.
Erofich claims that this sadly is a typical issue with most if not all custom StrTrk ROMs and I have no reason to doubt him. And since I otherwise love this ROM and already put a lot of effort into customizing it and setting it up perfectly I have absolutely no desire to test other ROMs for this behavior.
But since the caller ID works fine on the second time a caller calls, I'm wondering if this might be an easily fixed bug. Maybe there simply isn't something initialized on boot that normally should be?
So my questions:
* Who else experiences this bug?
* Are all custom WM 6.1 Std ROMs affected or are there exceptions?
* Has anyone already found a solution to this?
* If so, can it be applied to my current ROM?
I can't be the only one annoyed by this infuriating bug. I like to know who is calling me without having to open the phone first (the caller ID on the internal screen works perfectly fine all the time) or withjout having to memorize every single phone-number in my address book.
Hi
I'm using the Clean STD ROM WM 6.1 OS ver 5.1.19202
I have experienced this problem ONCE only, a few weeks ago but not since. I've been running the rom for nearly a year now and that was the only time.
What happened in my case was that it displayed the name but not the picture, which did appear eventually after several seconds just as I answered it. It seemed like there was a delay finding the picture or something.
What would be nice though is if there was a way to change the unknown caller picture (blue outline with ?) so something of our own choosing.
I don't care about the unknown caller picture, it fits nicely with the rest of the StrTrk external screen theme.
And I wouldn't mind too much if it occasionally took a little longer to show the correct picture.
But for me, the first phone call from a caller after turning on the phone (even when it has been running for hours) always won't show name and picture. If only one of both were missing, I could live with it - but this is actually causing some serious problems since I now frequently have to identify callers by their number and ringtone.
I think this is a bug in Erofich's ROM that somehow can be fixed, but if Erofich himself, probably the most experienced ROM-cooker in this forum, can't fix it, who can?
all of the custom roms (roms by me, GnatGoSplat, Pampooh, etc) are based on cingular 4.1.502.5 rom
try to take SubDisplayDll.dll from last Qtek 8500 rom, and rebuild your rom using kitchen
Thanks for the reply, Erofich.
My educated guess is that the SubDisplayDll.dll is not the source of the problem, it seems more likely that something that is supposed to call this dll isn't correctly started.
Well, since you STD_v9b ROM seems to have a time-bomb I'm forced to find a different ROM anyways
Well, this is my chance to find out how the others are behaving - lemons ... lemonade ... etc.
This is the Rom I've been using :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=380554
you could give that a try.
I don't think I had such problem with 1.1.7, less lag/delay before the name is displayed (will only get the number) in the call history as well.
i just notticed today that wheni call my voicemail none of the phone onscreen buttons work
keypad,end call, speaker etc are all non functional. i have to press the hardware key to end call.
im using CHT EDITOR with stock TMO rom
could be 2 things related to MinimumTapTime for screen sensitivity:
1. Do you have BSBtweak installed? DO NOT change the MinTapTime setting. Revert it.
2. Did you do tweak#44 MinTapTime from SBOY2000's HD2 tweaks thread? change that value back to what it was.
didnt tweak anything ust used bsb tweaks and changed it back to normal
still same.
at the moment i cant even get to the phone screen
the phone is completely fn cracked out.
im seriously on losing my patience with this sht, 3 phones cant be all having same issues thats just impossible unless the OS is ****.
yesterday i installed the WCX ILLUMINATI SERIES HD2 EURO/TMOUS 21911 2017
rom and it worked fine
call screen worked and keypad as well
i installed the BSB tweaks and cookie tab home
and getting same thing now the whole call screen is inactive
cant even push the hardware end button to end the call
and an error popped out:
a problem has occured with cprog.exe
the phone is very buggy in general with the cookie tab and bsbtweaks
ok so i just tested with both of them setup separately and both of them make my phone screen go stupid.
with bsb tweaks it doesnt turn on at all
with cookie tab it calls but then none of the buttons work on it not even hardware end call...
god damn i hate this phone, less than a week i own it and im about to throw it at the wall.
is anything supposed to work with microsoft at all?
wtf is active about active sync? it takes 50 tries to get one connection
sorry for the language but this is relaly fn frustrating.

You returned the phone twice because you keep installing an incompatible program and getting an error????????? Then why do you keep installing that program??????????? You're giving WindowsMobile users a bad name.
*HINT 1:Check what date BSBTWEAK was made. IT IS NOT MADE FOR THE TMO USA HD2! If somehow you feel you must use it, DO NOT FIDDLE WITH THE "TAP TIME" SETTING WITHIN BSBTWEAK.
*HINT 2: DISABLE COokie's Home Tab Lockscreen, it causes more trouble than it's worth.

The OP doesn't take suggestions well. He just comes on here to vent about how he can't make his phone work.
Bought the Atrix last week and unlocked it with the help from the webshop as I'm in Belgium, no problem connecting to Mobistar wich is my provider and data connections works great. But I'm having real problems making phonecalls and recieving calls; the phone reboots or the dialer hangs and it looks like a call is going on when it's not, phone still works but flashing green in the notification area and it's impossible to hang up, need to reboot. This happens like 80% of the times I try to make a call. After a reboot it works fine to call and hang-up one or two times then it crashes again.
Also noted that my Dialer often runs twice in the Running Apps manager - is that normal??
Anyone having the same issues or know what to do, reinstall the Dialer app --> if so how? Is it a hardware or software problem??
A little more info: when I recieved the device it was in a sealed Atrix box but the phone was used and already had an active Blur account so I had to do a hard reset to be able to use it... --> was it returned 'cause of faulty dialer or radio... then resold to me... not nice if so...?
Tried to install dialer one app but it seems only to skin the original dialer...
It's a greate device and works great othervice but in the end it's still a phone... which should be able to make calls...
Help
Ive got an unlocked Atrix too and now in Germany, I have the same problem. Motorola should definitely look into this.
Here's a quick fix for it thou, (not permanent)....
1. type *#*#4636#*#* on the dialer
2. Chose Phone Information
3. Set preferred network to GSM only
Viola...its fixed
problem with this fix is that you wont be able to use your 3G network but the dialer should be working.
Thanks Nazrin (for both replies) !!
It sure did the trick, though no data access is not acceptable on a phone like this!!!
So this meens that all unlocked Atrix's in european GSM networks have the same problems? Haven't seen any others reporting this and there are quite a few in use I've noted in other forums.
Was thinking of trying to have mine replaced (which probably won't be easy and take long time...) but that won't change anything then??
We have to wait for the european version of Atrix rom I suppose??
Any others with the same problem??
No problems buddy, glad it worked..and i have to agree with you..this bug is unacceptable...it seems the phone just ***** up everytime it calls on utms (3g)...im sure there is more people with this problem...
Sent from my Supercharged MOTO ATX
I have the same problem
Hi guys, I have the same exact issue (I'm also in Belgium, on Mobistar). I'm somewhat glad to hear this is a generic issue, and not an issue with my specific phone. At least I can be fairly certain replacing it won't solve this issue then.
I made another post here before I came across this one, has a bit more info: we are seeing modem panics when using 3G + outbound call. I've also contacted Motorola support to no avail:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1028771
You can also read there that I tried another operator, and it did not crash with that one (although 3G did disconnect).
Hopefully Motorola/Qualcomm will start to notice the bug when they release the phone globally, and release a fix.
Either that, or we all have phones from the same bad batch
This bug is really bad for users in europe....cant call on utms...
I really hope motorola takes this seriously cos if there's no fix via software updates then its moto gone for me
Guys, you are all on unlocked att atrix right? I do believe it is a simmiliar software glitch/bug/lock that you have porblems using it on non att networks as the problem with the wifi that it stops working for some of us (check the thread about it for more info). As all suggests there it is a config file problem, unfortunately i or anyone else doesnt know yet which one....
Yeah maybe..but funny thing is wifi is working without a glitch...will have to read that forum later...
Workaround options
So, since it seems we're not gonna get this fixed until there is a new radio/modem firmware available for flashing (and even then..), I've been looking for a workaround.
Found two potential applications that could do what we need: disable data completely when making an outgoing call, or switch to 2G:
- Sanity
- Superpower
I've tested the first (Sanity), and it does not work (fully). It does seem to disable data, but the bands aren't switched so our problem remains. I've contacted the developer here: http://tagliamonte.net/forum/thread-10.html. He seems to be very responsive, so given enough interest, I think he would add the functionality we require.
The second app I only came across today, and have not tried yet. It does not have a function to specifically switch bands when making an outgoing call, but it has a trigger for "Foreground application", so if we make that the dialer/contacts... Question remains if it will be able to do the switch.
Hopefully one of these will lead to a decent workaround for all of us!
Well done unknown...i will try these apps... but the real fix should be from moto...im always reading the net for anything that can solve this issue
reboots on incoming and outgoing calls
Same in Russia on Megafon network, I had to enter 4636 menu and use it as "GSM only". Even this does not fully solve problems, e.g. call forwarding does not show the new destination number while it does actually make the phone divert calls correctly.
My hope is that UK release will trigger new software version which will address this issue. ANYONE has news on this?
FIXED!
YAY! I just fixed this issue
What you need to do: flash the radio from this thread:

You have to use RSD-lite, since sbf_flash will not work. Flash the 1.87 baseband and enjoy working HSPA (including unlocked upload speeds ^^)
Now I can finally appreciate this phone fully
Enjoy guys!

Worked for me as well..brilliant!!!! its working here in germany.....but I wonder the telstra radio will work in my home country with frequencies of 900/2100
Motorola Atrix restart when placing a call
I just got the same exact Dialer problem now, but the flash radio file is gone* in the pointed post, and I don't know exactly how to flash the radio.
Someone can help me? I need the radio file and step by step instruction to how to flash it.
BTW my Atrix 4G works perfect for a year till this Dialer problem started past week.
I also use my phone as a full Linux computer when docked, and it works very fine.
Thanks
* The file was on megaupload, that was closed
No answer
Why I never got an answer of any post I did?
There is something wrong?

Bought the Atrix last week and unlocked it with the help from the webshop as I'm in Belgium, no problem connecting to Mobistar wich is my provider and data connections works great. But I'm having real problems making phonecalls and recieving calls; the phone reboots or the dialer hangs and it looks like a call is going on when it's not, phone still works but flashing green in the notification area and it's impossible to hang up, need to reboot. This happens like 80% of the times I try to make a call. After a reboot it works fine to call and hang-up one or two times then it crashes again.
Also noted that my Dialer often runs twice in the Running Apps manager - is that normal??
Anyone having the same issues or know what to do, reinstall the Dialer app --> if so how? Is it a hardware or software problem??
A little more info: when I recieved the device it was in a sealed Atrix box but the phone was used and already had an active Blur account so I had to do a hard reset to be able to use it... --> was it returned 'cause of faulty dialer or radio... then resold to me... not nice if so...?
Tried to install dialer one app but it seems only to skin the original dialer...
It's a greate device and works great othervice but in the end it's still a phone... which should be able to make calls...

[Sorry for problem in speaking]
i had that problem too , im using CM13 with Marshmallow Version of android
So . the easy way is :
***** search "Default" in settings. then choose " System dialer" as Default ! just it ****
but if there is no search bar in your setting . try this patch:
Android 6 : Setting/Apps then click the setting icon on top(may be diffrent in your case) , then Click on "default ...." then choose " System dialer" as Default! :fingers-crossed:
but in some cases that it didnt work . they have to reinstall gapps .
Or in official Roms , reset will be usefull
any quastions?
